Codezwiz >> Forums >> Flash Help >> Button inheritance issues

Hi -

I'm using the FS-SpecialMenu ( [ Register or login to view links on this board.] ) which I modified to contain links and buttons. The problem is, and for the life of me I can't figure out why, is that each new instance I create of the menu inherits the traits of the old menu. Not only that, any change in either menu creates a duplicate change in the other menu. What this means is changing the button's behaviors in one menu instance creates the same change in the other menu(s). This creates real problems because I need the buttons to point to different links in each menu.

Here is the source file: [ Register or login to view links on this board.]

All help is awesome and really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

I had to re-install Windoze and therefore, all my progz need to be re-installed. (sigh)
I downloaded the fla, and as soon as I get FlashMx back up I'll take a look at it for u.

Thanks redhot -

I actually figured the link problem out by setting a variable in place of the url link (e.g. getURL(variable)).

Now I have a problem where each menu has a certain number of buttons regardless of how many variables are set, and since the buttons are associated with a car animation, you get cars driving past links that don't exist. I think I'll have to dynamically create buttons depending on how many links I want to have per "folder", but I'm not sure how to do this yet.
