Linking buttons in FLow List component

Raynia · #1 Aug 28th, 2007, 21:55

I am currently using a Flash component called "Flow List" from http://www.afcomponents.com
Here is the issue I am having. I have the 3D flow list images in the selector linked to different HTML pages. But what I want to do is link the arrow buttons below the images in which the buttons activate the next link to open rather than the images themselves. I tried linking the buttons with the same action script code used for linking the images, but the URLs then came up as undefined. Has anyone used this component before and know how to do this? Or even if you haven't, could you take a look at the action script and help me figure out what I need to add or fix?

Quote:

// Add Event Listeners

// display first image description
myFlow.addEventListener("ITEM_LOAD_COMPLETE",dspTe xt);

// display description once image is clicked
myFlow.addEventListener("ITEM_ON_RELEASE", dspText);

// load selected item
myFlow.addEventListener("ITEM_ON_PRESS", this);

function ITEM_ON_PRESS(evnt:Object) {

getURL(evnt.target.data, "_self");
}
// Start Code

left_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (myFlow.getSelectedItem().id>0) {
myFlow.selectPreviousItem();
}
};
right_btn.onRelease = function() {
myFlow.selectNextItem();
};

// End Code

Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hmm, I'd need to see the actual file, feel free to PM it to me and I can take a look at it to help. The script you have posted here just involves the functionality of each button moving based on what is clicked it doesn't define each button or give it a URL to go to. If each of the "buttons" has an instance name you can add some code to each one to make it goto a specific URL on release but I would need to see how those are structured. It sounds like "myflow" is a movieclip and this code you posted above just manipulates the movieclip.

Cheers,

Scott
