Hi, is there any way of displaying the text permanently below the icons rather than only showing up on mouseover? I tried to changes in the actionscript but does not work for me.

Hello,

Great file! I am having difficulty with the links. I have placed all code where author said it should be but they still are not working for me.

I have also read through the post and tried user adrianTNT suggestions. The links are working but the floating icons no longer float. Did anyone else run into this issue. I am a designer so I struggle some with the scripting. Thanks for any help at all!

Hi,

This is great but I cannot get the "getURL" function to work. (I'm not a coder...i'm a designer)

I loaded the AS just as you said and have tried many times with many tweaks.
Thanks,

John

Thank you for your quick reply, it works great. The only problem now is that the rollover and rollout function doesn't work anymore. But I'll try to figure it out. thanks again

in first sample I sent it needed that code upper in the main code, anyway, here is by XML, add this right after _root.attachMovie("mc.item...

_root['item'+i].link = xml.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes. link;
_root['item'+i].onRelease = function() {
getURL(this.link);
};

And in XML file inside the XML lines add an attribute called "link", for example:

image="i01.png" tooltip="Sim" content="sim card" link="http://ffiles.com"

I saw now that Artrulesmyworld also had some details about opening an URL in his description.

Thank you for your reply but it doesn't seem to work. I also would like to command the links trough the xml file, but I'm not very experienced.

user adrianTNT
adrianTNT (admin) 17 years ago

@Eltoonio: I think it goes like this: after the long code in the file add this:

item1.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://www.ffiles.com");
}
// Then second one is item2, item3, etc.

The file has icons as transparent PNG files, these icons will look nice on any background.
