need help on sliding menu

[PunkieDrewster]

I did the Sliding Menu tutorial, under Flash 5 > Advanced, and I want the large things that it slides to to be clickable buttons....how would I do this?

[kode]

welcome punkie =)

just convert to symbol each square. if you have flash 5 you have to convert them to button symbol, if you have flash mx you can use either a movie clip or button symbol. :)

give me specific details on what you want to do, i may be able to help you more ;)

I think I want to achieve te same thing, from the infinte menu (movie) create buttons which make a jump in the main movie somthing like


on (release) {
gotoAndStop(151)
}

but obviously because we're in the infinite menu it does not know where to jump can you help?

[kode]

try this ;)

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop(151);
}
=)
