Hi,
I made a nice dropdown menu. Within that menu though, I made buttons to link to pages on my main stage. They don't work! Does anyone have any clues as to what to do now?
Many thanks in advance,
(:Susie

There are a lot of reasons why they wouldn't work. It's hard for us to guess which one with just the information you provided. Be more specific.

-What's your setup ?
-How are the buttons created ?
-What does your code look like ?
-What are they targetting ?
-How do you reference them ?

Sending me to review policy was a little bit clumsy and not very polite. I'd be a little cautious to recommend you for an internship with a friend.
Thanks anyway. I'll rephrase my question and ask again. Please ignore the thread. Perhaps there is someone else out there that can help?
Is it possible to create a button within a movie (drop down menu) that will take you to a frame on the main stage?
Thanks,
(:

The thread posted by Pixelwit contains advice to help us help you.

It's not clumsy because I intended to point you to the thread. It's linked to in the sticky by Jesse, co-founder of this website. If I pointed you to a tutorial, would you be equally offended ? Your post shows that you haven't read it. Which is okay if your question is followed by enough information for people to help you. Unfortunately, it doesn't. Remember, we're trying to help you.

As for your question : _root.gotoAndPlay("myFrameLabel");

You can also wait for someone else to drop by and say pretty much the same thing of course, if you really want to hear it from someone else.

And finally, I don't need you to recommend me for an internship. I need to find a Japanese company that actually offers internships, because in Japan there hardly are any companies that do so.

I guess I supplied enough info because you answered the question well. Thanks. Problem solved.

You're welcome.

This is an informative question as you state exactly what you want to do. We can then answer accordingly. If the reader knows how to do it that is.
