I'm using Flash CS4 and have imported my navigation menu as one single image/object. How do I slice it up to create separate hyperlinks on this single image?
 
Thanks!

How about creating buttons with an Alpha value of 0%? This means they're transparent. You lay these buttons right over the menu items and then give them the right code/hyperlink.

gruzz is right.
 
but you can also use conditions on mouse position in the function
that handles mouseclick event.

If you have fireworks : use the slice tool to chop it up and export as seperate images but you'll need to re import to flash

Ah thanks, yeah I was trying to figure out how to make buttons that are transparent to do that, and I couldn't figure out how to change the opacity!!! How do I do that?
 
I'd rather not import separate images - normally I do, but this time I've already got all of my actions in place with this menu - and I don't want to have to redo it for each single button! Last minute change, deadline to meet, etc.
 
Thanks so much if you can explain how to make a button have a 0% opacity that would be appreciated!!!

 
Select the button, then select the paint bucket icon in the lower part of the screen. You'll get the image I attached. In the upper right corner it says 'Alpha: 100%'. You've to lower that to 0% to make it invisible.    Good luck!
 

 
 
HOLY COW THANK YOU I AM BLIND haha.
 
THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're welcome. Hope you enjoy your stay in the forum.

I have a flash document that I would like to use invisible buttons on to hyper link to websites.  What are the steps for creating a hyperlink (convert to symbol, code, etc.)  I will need multiple buttons linking to different sites.
 
Your help is appreciated.
 
Thanks.

Are you using Action Script 2 or Action Script 3?

I figured it out but I do have another question for you.  On this page, http://www.kosd.org/education/dist [...] ectionid=1
 
How did they create the menus that appear when you mouse over words like "District" at the top?
 
Thanks.

That's a Flash drop-down menu. There's a tutorial about that here. Tough Flash is great in some cases, the site you just linked to could have done the same with a little css and jQuery. Which is a lot better to use if you ask me.
