  Old  Creating Flash Menu

I am trying to create a Flash Menu. Honestly I don't know how to create one without doing "On click, open in same window" which most browsers think it's a pop up and end up blocking it. How do I open on click without getting blocked? I really appreciate your time!!!

Does it *have* to be flash? It'll certainly help search engines crawl and index your site if you use a <ul> ordered list and some CSS to control the dropdowns/popouts. I'd only use a flash menu on a 'normal' website if there were NO other way of doing what I wanted to achieve...

onClick is javascript command. you have to do the coding inside the flash movie, which the easiest would be:

YourButtonName.onRelease = function() {
getURL('path_to_your_page'');
}

of course, get url sounds useless, since it will reload the page. flash menu are pretty much useless, because if you know flash well enough to integrate it seamlessly, without making it a pain in the ass to r e-animate every page load, you would probably make the whole thing in flash.
