Sorry if I've missed some very obvious and basic points, but I am having some results so hopefully I am not far off:
I am trying to create a navigation as in http://www.valentino.com
My first question is whether the submenus should be triggered by a regular button or by just scripting mouse events where the various states are in different frames of a movie clip. I've tried both, had better luck with the former but prefer the latter as it seems tighter (in theory). I am attaching both attempts for anyone has the kind patience to check it out. I apologize for all the commented out code, I am really only an early but persistent beginner.
The second question has to do with the pure AS version (w/o btns) as it is my preference. It appears to be a rollout problem. The rollout function carries over into subsequent frames. Perhaps it should be a conditional statement based on frameNumber? I've attempted both with poor results. I am such a beginner that it might just have to do with syntax.
Okay, thanks for reading this novella and for any advice.
