Flash menu help

[neil1980]

Hi

I have created a flash menu bar in flash cs3 but it wont work on my site.
I have added the .swf file and it appears fine but when i try the buttons it does nothing. i have added the code to each button and works fine in flash but not on the website.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Karen

The one that changes to check mark is the original one that i put up temporarily until i'd made the menu bar in flash myself.

I have just published it on my privacy policy page and it seems to work for me now. The reason I asked the question firstly was that it wouldn't work in preview but would when i made it in flash. sorry didn't realise i would have to publish it for it to work. Its been a long day tweaking and probably needed the break before asking the question. I would apreciate it if it could be tried by someone else before i change all pages to ensure it works.

Thank you for your time.

Previewing a Flash element requires not just "adding the .SWF file" link to the Flash Box, but also uploading it to your server in the public_html/ directory, just as you need to do as part of Publishing.

It is possible, however, to Preview a Flash element without uploading any file to the server by linking to a .FLA file from the local host instead (your computer). Just remember to swap the links back out to .SWF before Publishing. Unfortunately, many Flash editors/Creators do not automatically create a .FLA nor have the ability to SAVE AS another file.
