NavBar

[Nick Toye]

I am looking for someone to show me how I convert this nav bar that resides on the main timeline into its own MC so that I can share it with other flash movies or amimate it.

I have attached the fla, i know this is probably easy but i'm struggling with the pathing.

Many thanks

anyone have any clue on how i can resolve this?

Help is very much appreciated

I'm no pro, but I think you can export it as a .swf, then call it up using AS in Flash. loadmovie I think. Sry I couldn't be more helpful.

I think you misunderstand, thanks anyway

load it into any MC or level u want and then//will load it intoa target mc 'navHolder_mc'
//then in the root
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if (this.navHolder_mc.targetmc == "about") {
this.gotoAndStop("about")
}
}

Yeah..It should be no problem to code it so you load it into an empty clip...as long as your pathing is correct...

Not taken a look (time) but it's really a coding issue as in the correct reference to the _root.

[Nick Toye]

Surely there is an easier way then loading it into another empty MC.

If you look at the download, all I want to do is to be able to have it in its own MC, rather than on the _root timeline.

[farafiro]

no easier way than what was told here
load it in any empty mc
use the script I've posted

Or do exactly as your instinct tells you. Grab all the necessary elements and put then in a new MC. Then grab the code associated with it and put that on it's timeline.

If anything, it will teach you a bit of pathing and _parent relationships.

Ha...

[Nick Toye]

Ok, i'll give that a go.
