FLASH: CNET MenuMagicII: How to "Get URL"?

[Codeine Ouch]

Hi,


First, thanks to be indulgent for my bad english...


I d/l the excellent Menu MagicII from CNET Builder.com. It's a very nice

drop down menu system build in Flash.


http://builder.com/Graphics/FlashPoint/022400/


But there is a small problem with the example on the page: the GetURL is not 

implement (by that I mean, if you click an a menu item, it will not lunch an 

URL). So I lost many hours trying to figure how to do this but without 

success. Is there someone on the list who can explain me how to do this? Or 

just send me a .FLA? I tought I was confortable with actionscript but now 

I'm not sure! I follow the instruction on the page, and the author of this 

menu explain how to do this but not clearly...


And finally, I need opinions: It is suicidal to implement this menu on every 

page of a large Intranet. Explanation: My actual project is to develop an 

Intranet in my cie. We have a strong  advantage: we have to be compatible 

with Internet Explorer only. Based on this, I took the menuMagicII exemple 

and try to include it in the top of a HTML page. It works. I put the .SWF 

Object in a <DIV> and inside a "z-index:10" and it run. There is only a 

minor problem: no way to select the firts part of HTML text on the page 

because the Flash Object overlap. Otherwise, the menu works great. But 

because I'm a pessimistic guy, I really want

to be sure -NOW- that this menu will not give us problem in a near futur. I 

thinks the Flash menu by itself is strong but mixing it with HTML et CSS 

<DIV>, I'm not totally confident.


Thanks.
