FLASH: HELP urgent!! :|

[Syed Junaid Ahmed]

I am having trouble following this if anyone can help me?


 the following is the tutorial that I am reading and attached is the movie

 file that I have created using FLASH 4


 Integrate the Menu

 OK, so now you have a pop-up menu. What's next?

 There are about three dozen useful things you can do with a pop-up menu.

You

 could use it to pass JavaScript commands (using Flash's FSCommand feature);

 control a frameset; access a database for a search or document retrieval

 (with Flash Generator integration); or, simply load a URL. This tutorial

 focuses on using the menu for navigation within the Flash file.

 See it in action: An integrated Flash pop-up menu.

 Now create a movie symbol that will contain each of the pages:

 1. Start with the previous file.

 2. Select Insert/Create Symbol and then the Movie radio button, and name it

 Pages. Then click the OK button. Now you are in the symbol workspace.

 3. Name the current layer Guide Layer.

 4. Using the Pencil tool, create a large simple shape (a circle or square

 will do) and call it Guide Shape. You will use this shape to help you place

 the symbols in the main scene.

 5. Insert a new layer above the current one. Name it Individual Pages

Layer.

 6. Label the first keyframe in the Individual Pages Layer Blank. Create a

 new keyframe following Blank and label it Alpha Page.

 7. Create a drawing of some kind. (The example above uses a car, a soda

can,

 and a sign.) When you have finished the drawing, select it, and make it a

 symbol using Insert/Create Symbol.

 8. Create a second keyframe, labeling it Beta Page, and a third keyframe,

 labeling it Omega Page. For each of these create a second and third

drawing,

 respectively. Be sure that the drawings are symbols.

 Next add the content movie symbol to the main scene:

 1. Return to the main scene timeframe and open the Library. The recently

 created symbol, Pages, will appear in the Library list.

 2. Create a new layer and call it Pages Layer. Drag the Pages symbol from

 the Library onto the layer. Double-click it and give it the label My Pages.

 Finally, link each menu button to a particular page of content in the movie

 symbol:

 1. Go to the Menu Open keyframe. Double-click the Alpha button in the

pop-up

 menu to open its properties.

 2. Go to the Action tab and add the action Tell Target--notice it

 automatically sets the Release action for the button.

 3. Select the My Pages symbol as the target by double-clicking it in the

 field on the right. (Make sure the symbol name My Pages appears in the

field

 below.)

 4. Add a Go To action to the Tell Target.

 5. Select the Label radio button and type in Alpha Page.

 6. Repeat steps 1 through 5, adding Tell Targets to the Beta and Omega

 buttons in the pop-up menu and setting them to Beta Page and Omega Page,

 respectively.

 Now your pop-up menu is controlling the content of your Flash movie!
