Hi Soulwire!!
Great job and great nickname!!
I’m using your menu, but i would have that every planet loads an external movie clip in my page.
I wonder if you could help me in this experiment!?
In the meanwhile i go ahead by my proofs.

Regards

Hi Giulio,

So, in your btn MovieClip (in the library), add some frames on the timeline and make the frame labels the same as your name Array (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars… etc)

Then, replace the circNavBtn function with this one:

MovieClip.prototype.circNavBtn = function (id:Number, par:MovieClip, name:String)
{
	this.pos = this.id = id;
	this.par = par;
	this.btn.txt.text = name.toUpperCase ();

	// Stop on a frame with the same name
	this.btn.gotoAndStop(name);

	this._rotation = 90;
	this._alpha = 0;

	this.onPress = function ()
	{
		this.par.circNavRot (this.pos);
		this.activeBtn ();
	};
};

You can see, it’s going to tell the btn MovieClip to go to the frame with the label that is the same as the text that would normally appear in the button.

Sure Giulio,

You could put frame labels in your button MovieClip with the same names: “Mars”, “Saturn” etc then use this.gotoAndStop(name); in the CircNavBtn prototype (where it is currently setting the content of the TextField)
