here's a real easy one!

[nomis]

thank's for the help if anybody can!

i bought a template of the net and as i'm sure you heard before, it had no directions to edit it. well i rolled up my sleeves and got flashmx and worked my logo in there and all the info i could put in so now here my question;
1-how do i get my 6 buttons"home-pics-links ect..." to open a new window and from there load the text that i want to show on that window?? ex:if i press the info button my info page with my text comes up.

i do realise that you will probably link me to a tutorial witch is fine,i just want to get this over with.

I'm new to this so please go easy on me!

have a great day!

[nomis]

yeah like a new window
ex:
if i'm looking at let say my home page and then press the links button, the page reload or changes "i guess" to the links page.

home-pics-links-contact-email-services "as a button bar"exactly like what happens when you press the top one here with these buttons: usercp-register-calenders-members-f.a.c-search-home


does that make any more sence?

[nomis]

[nomis]

Ok, firstly, bowsers do not like pop ups...but if your determind to have them, then well, go for it.

Secondly go look in the tutorial section and then you will find plenty of goodies and ideas. Step by step help, then if you get stuck, just name the problem in which tutorial and then I'm sure the guys on the board will do their finest to help you.

o.k that's not what i want. i explained myself the wrong way but i'm french so i guess that dosent help!
the mistake i made was i dont want a new window to open but my text to change in my mane window so if you press the link button to have my kink text to appear in the same window. i dont want a scrolly boxy thing just my text even if it's a mile long "it's not" but i just want to keep it simple and have my text change.
I saw tutorials for scroll boxes but not one for just plain text.

do i make sence?

[JHallam]

hmm.....okay...explain in French and then Pom or some other Fench guy (alot of French on this forum;) ) will translate it ;) and help you

[JHallam]

Ahh I know....you want the buttons to load different text, and you dont want a scroll box to contain the text.

Basically, you need to just have different animation of the text on the _root and then just on each button have it to gotoAndPlay("text1")
text1 - will be the animation of the first desired text from button 1 and etc for each button.

OR you can just have one dynamic textbox on the _root and then call the varable name of "content" and....

on the buttons have:

//button 1
on(release) {
_root.content.text = "sometextfile.txt"
}

//Button 2
on(release) {
_root.content.text = "sometextfile2.txt"
}

//etc for each button!


understand?

[nomis]

i beleive if i'm reading right that i want to had dynamic text to my webpage
here go check it out if you want,you'll see that if you press any buttons nothing hapens,what i want is have text load from a txt file for all the buttons i have or will have
