#2

#3
ok

Either way, it still doesn't solve the rollover/rollout problems

Whatever popups are supposed to appear during mouseovers, they don't in Firefox.
Just in case you were wondering.
The only rollover effect is that the background behind the text (e.g., Indonesia) darkens.

[stealthcow]

works in my firefox, IE, Opera, and safari - what version of flash are you using?

[steveb]

Well, how the f should I know? The point is, if your site is so extremely version dependent, very few people are going to see what you intend.
I'm satisfied with the darkening background to indicate an active link. Why would I need to see something else in any case? It would presumably disappear after 0.3 seconds when I click anyway.

[stealthcow]

its not supposed to be version dependant, it should work on all the major browsers and their respective versions.. the reason i ask is so that i can look into it and fix it if there is a problem

just right mouse click the flash movie clip and it'll tell you the version of flash player that you're using

flash is flash. no browser involved.

you dont create each button seperately, you make one fucking button (it should be a class if you knew how to make one ;-))

you put as many instances of this f***ing button where you need to.
you name them correctly
yourButton_1, yourButton_2, yourButton_3 etc...

yourMovie.yourButton_1.theTextfield.htmlText = yourF***ingText;
yourMovie. yourButton_1.onRollOver = function(){ ... do your things ...};
yourMovie. yourButton_1.onRelease = function(){ ... do your things ...};

same for button_2

at least you make an array with the texts and the urls so you can make a for loop.

#2
As I said before, specify in the rollover of the button the event for his _parent.

ok ?

Don't know if you're still stuck, but I've put a fla here
