Voiding Links when Loading a Movie


Voiding Links when Loading a Movie TravelDiva

macromedia flash sitedesign:
From my index page, when someone clicks on a link it loads a movie clip on top
of that page. However, once they are on that new page, the links from my index
page are still showing up. As you move the arrow around the page you will see
the hand come up where the links were on the index page. How can I void this so
that those links don't show up/aren't active on every other page of the
website?

I'm desperate for help on this question!!!

Thank you!
Kristine

When you say index page, are you talking about a "page" in Flash or an HTML
page? I'm assuming you are talking about Flash.

Second question, how is your FLA set up to go to different sections? Are you
using frame labels across your main timeline? Also, are your links in text or
are they buttons?

One thing you can do if you are using a timeline approach is to simply place a
keyframe on the layer that holds your link at each page/section and remove the
link completely on areas is it not needed. If it's a button or movieclip, you
can disable it on sections it's not needed.

So, you'd place this code in the actions layer on a keyframe at each section.
You do have your topmost layer set as an actions layer, right? :)

myBtn2_btn.enabled = false;

Then on the keyframe on your "index" section, you'd want to enable it again.

myBtn2_btn.enabled = true;
