Hey Everyone!

OK, so this web site was working fine - then i went back in to add the loading
bar and cut down the picture sizes... then when i went to reupload it to the
server all the buttons starting acting up!

Now i dont know if this is just because im reading it off my computer and
maybe theres something wrong on my side. or if its on everyones computer!

Check out the site http://www.OneForTheDitch.net

And can someone let me know if its acting up on their computer - and if so,
how do i fix it?! (i didnt even change any code!)

THANXS in advance :)

Well none of the buttons seem to do what the writing says...menu goes to
pictures and the pictures are toggled on repeat clicks...also the buttons are
based on the text so when you click, for example, in between the legs of the m
in menu the button loses focus.

I think that you possibly have referenced them through _root and then loaded
the movie from within the loading bar movie...this causes the buttons to behave
incorrectly (though usually they would just not work at all). If this is the
case reference everything from 'this' or this._parent etc and it should clear
up.

In terms of the button text....for each button place a transparent (0% alpha)
box around the area where the button should have focus, that will make it much
more sensible.

so what your basically saying is that because i put the loading bar clip in
there - it shifted some actions around?

"If this is the case reference everything from 'this' or this._parent etc and
it should clear up." ---- when you say reference everything - do you mean
buttons? or the action script layer? can you help me on this part? if i put
the loading bar on a different scene, would this be an easier solution?

as for the buttons - i did notice that.. i will try your suggestion!

Thanxs for the help!! :)

layers and actions on a sperate scene and it seems to work propperly now! try
