I'm publishing to HTML5 and I have a button on a graphic that causes a popup menu to appear. I want each menuitem to launch a webpage. I have a hotspot over the menu graphic and am trying to put a web link to it, but not getting the actionscript right. i tried adding it within the menuitem symbol using:
this.updates_june.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_7);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_7() {
window.open("http://www.adobe.com", "_blank");
}
and also on the main level using:
this.menu_june.updates_june.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_7);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_7() {
window.open("http://www.adobe.com", "_blank");
}
neither seems to work. The popup menu appears fine when I mouseover the graphic.
I think i figured it out. the symbol with the menu was a layer below the hotspot for the button that triggered it. Once I moved it above it began to work. Thanks for your help!

the code snippet should be on the same timeline as the one that contains updates_june and the second should be on the timeline that contains menu_june.

I tried it each way separately but neither way worked.
I have a link working on the main timeline, but when I put one within a symbol it doesn't work.

is updates_june on the main timeline?

No it is within the symbol menu_june.
menu_june is on the main timeline.

now for some reason the mouseout for the menu is firing even when i'm still on it. so frustrating!
