Hi;
Still trying to kill all the bugs in my first Gaia project
The nav doesn't work on the server. The context menu (right click) does, but that's not what I want. I'm sure the problem has to do with how I'm creating text links, as per my old Flash style. I don't write in the timeline and I don't build assets in the library if I can avoid it. I do everything inside classes like this:
package pages
{
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import com.gaiaframework.templates.AbstractPage;
import com.gaiaframework.events.*;
import com.gaiaframework.debug.*;
import com.gaiaframework.api.*;
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import com.greensock.TweenMax;
public class NavPage extends AbstractPage
{
public var homeButton:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
public var speakersButton:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
public var itineraryButton:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
public var optional_ToursButton:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
public var testimonialsButton:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
public var about_UsButton:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
public var contact_UsButton:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
public var articlesButton:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
private var releaseGaia:Function = Gaia.api.afterGoto(OnAfterGoto);
private var navArray:Array = new Array(homeButton, speakersButton, itineraryButton, optional_ToursButton, testimonialsButton, about_UsButton, contact_UsButton, articlesButton);
public function NavPage()
{
super();
alpha = 0;
}
function OnAfterGoto(e:GaiaEvent):void
{
for each (var button:MovieClip in navArray)
{
if (button.branch = Gaia.api.getCurrentBranch())
{
TweenMax.to(button, .5, {tint:0x0000ff});
button.buttonMode = false;
} else {
TweenMax.to(button, .5, {removeTint:true});
button.buttonMode = true;
}
}
}
function Navigation(navName:String, navURL:String, myX:int, myTextColor:uint):void
{
var navMovieClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(navMovieClip);
var myNavigation:TextField = new TextField();

format.font = 'Century Schoolbook';

myNavigation.setTextFormat(format);
