Re: FLASH: OT - Help with JavaScript

[Scott Rouse]

This is my two cents.....Works fine when I have all the info preloaded (Load

page with clusters, close window, then load page again with everything

fine).  When I refresh and it searches for all this again it clusters on

itself.  After looking at your code I am guessing that you are "stacking"

(put the submenus under the main menus..."makeMenus" if I remeber correctly)

on the "onload" or when the page is loaded.  I would guess that the larger

size of your Applet is creating the lag time between the appearance of the

code and the the final "onload" command.


A couple of things come to mind...


if you are establishing the imgs (and their sizes) and the text below them

in the menu through HTML alone is it possible to simply call your stack

function right after you establish these items instead of on the onload

command?


Is it possible to do it in Flash?  You have a Flash movie at the first page

and tell people they must have Flash.  You can do anything you want in that

area until the Flash is loaded.  I am assuming that you could do the code

very easily, but I have the code that does precisely this if you are

interested.


Hope this is helpful

Scott
