So I know the basics of flash, and a teeny tiny eency weency bit of action script 2.0, but I have issues understanding all the terms and programming in general, so I don't know how to fix this and I need someone to tell me in layman's terms how. I'm designing a website for the folks I'm doing an internship with. They wanted it in flash, so I'm learning as I go (never used flash before last month). I've run into a slight problem and haven't quite understood the resolution I found. Here's the situation: My boss wants drop down menus. I got the drop down part to work by using a movie clip and some action scripting to bounce from frame to frame with a rollOver and rollOut event (or whatever they're called). I haven't created the rest of the site yet, so the buttons aren't really buttons yet (haven't even made them symbols yet). My problem is that I can't get the nesting to work. I read that when you use a rollover event on a movie clip, it causes flash to ignore any nested AS within that movie clip. I need that to work, since I also need a secondary drop down menu in one area. For the secondary drop down, I was following the same method as the parent drop down. I'm using Flash MX 2004, which supports only AS 2.0. This is where my issue (I think) is explained and resolved, but I don't understand what the heck their solution is really doing. Like I said, I'm new to this. I listened to tutorials for the basics of flash, but never had the chance to figure out the AS part. http://www.flashadvisor.com/forum/problem-...drop-t3648.html? EDIT: I suppose I should mention that I got this working. Looking further into syntax and doing an extra lesson from the AS book was enough to get me to understand how to use hitTest in this situation.
