ActionScript 1/2 :: Get As2 Menu To Work
Jun 1, 2009
I've added an empty moviclip to it. Loaded it to the main stage an add an action so that my menu (which is on a separate movie is loaded on that movieclip) This was fine.I've added a second empty movie clip to that main stage an another action targeting it, to load my logo over that movieclip.This was also fine All this on my first frame of the main movie.The menu located at the external movie, loads data from an external xml file.I need the items on that menu to target a "gotoandPlay frames on the main movie according to the information on the also external .xml file.This menu file originally targets to external .html files and works fine, but when modifying the action script inside that menu file to perform the above mentioned "goto and play" on the main movie, I get no error message when exporting the files, but no action occurs.The main movie I've called it "ska.swf".The menu movie file I've called "miniaturas.swf".The external .xml file I've called "config.xml".[code]

I have downloaded a demo of a rotating menu from here: [URL]. But when I go to open and publish the movie nothing happens, it seems like there could be something missing, I can't upload the files as the folder is to large, you can download the files from the link above.

I want to make a button stay in its down state when it's clicked, and I did it for the MC buttons "Objectivity" and "Publications", but not for MC button "Fotography", that trigger the vertical drop down menu. I also want that the MC buttons "Objectivity and "Publications" make the "vertical drop down menu" reverse for it's original state (hide).P.S. Of course, I want all the MC buttons link to their respective URL's.

This has been bugging me for 2 days! I can't seem to figure out how to get my drop down menu to work. When I roll over my main button the sub buttons tween down into the mask. It looks great but when I move my mouse down to one of the sub buttons of course they slide back up because I rolled off of the main button.I will put my code in here, but keep in mind it is not finished and needs to be cleaned up =)

I have a drop down menu on my website and it works perfectly fine except for some of the links. i don't have the other pages made yet but i still have the links to the pages in the buttons in my drop down menu. For some reason when i click on the buttons in the drop down menu, they don't go to the pages, they don't do anything. But when i click on the buttons in the sub drop down menu in side the main drop down, they work
the code for each button is the on(release) get url code, is their a different code i can use that will make these buttons work? here is the link to the website so you can see what I mean. the paralegal services button is the one with the drop down.

[code]Is there a way to check for when a key is released? Because here is the problem. It's a pause button, but what happens if you hold it down for too long? First it will check to see if the 'p' button is pressed and that the game is not currently paused. "It's not, ok, pause the game." But since it's checking this same if statement 24 times a second, say you accidentally hold it down too long and it goes through the same if statement again: "Ok, the 'p' button is pressed, but the pauseGame is false. Ok skip that and move down to the else. The 'p' button is pressed and the pausegame is true. Cool, set the game to unpaused." In less than a second it managed to pause and unpause the game because the conditions were correct both times.Is there a way to avoid this error? With a button they have the onRelease to solve this problem. How do I fix it for a keypress?

I am trying to get a drop down menu to work in Flash but cannot get the Actionscript to work. I am a novice at Actionscript so I'm not even sure where to start. Basically, I want the menu to drop down when you hover over it. If I can show me how I should start the script, I can probably figure the rest out. I have four drop down buttons that should come down when you hover or roll over. I can't attach the flash file because it is over the file limit.

I'm working on an AIR for iOS iPad scrolling menu with "kinetic" interaction. I'm trying to emulate as closely as I can the behavior of native components. To that end, I've had to forgo the traditional startDrag() method because of the peculiarities of the native UIScrollView. The reason startDrag() won't work for me is that when you drag the menu past its upper or lower scrolling threshold you encounter resistance, that is, the effect of your mouse/finger on the scroll/dragging of the menu is cut in half. Inside either threshold, if you move your finger a pixel the menu moves a pixel. Beyond either threshold, when you move your finger two pixels the menu only moves one because of the a .5 resistance multiplier. As far as I know, startDrag() doesn't account for any of that.

I followed a tutorial for creating a drop down menu with as3 and it worked great, except for the fact that the buttons within the dropdown don't work. the categories in the drop down are converted to button symbols and when you roll over each button text, it's supposed to change from green to grey but when you roll over them, they don't even register as buttons. Also when I move the cursor away from the dropdown slowly it rolls up, but when I move the cursor away quickly the drop down just stays down and then i have to actually move the cursor back on the dropdown and slowly move it away for it to roll up. For it to roll up I have it so the cursor rolls over a box that borders outside the dropdown and menu button and the code tells the box to roll up when moved over the box.

I am by no means an actionscript genius. I took a tutorial online to figure out how to do a drop down menu. It is all visually functional but when I click a sub-menu item it wont work. For example, if I click the "company" tab on my website, there are 2 options: "about us" and "contact us". In my time frame we are sitting on frame 200. I have added the following actionscript to the "about us" sub-menu button:

I have made a drop down menu, that through shape tweening expands when you mouse over a tab...and when its fully expanded...buttons show up...I want the buttons to perform actions when clicked, but as it is now, I cannot get them to simply trace...I have a movieclip named tools on the main stage...this tools movieclip is the one that expands when you hover over its tab...in the tools movieclip I have a button that shows up when the tab is expanded...."jButton" in the main movie...I am trying to access it using the following code...
tools.jButton.onRelease = function()
that does nothing...in the tools movieclip I tried to put actionscript
jButton.onRelease = function()
this does nothing as well...I am trying to make a simple tools menu which will allow the user to print or save the contents of a movieclip...as as soon as the buttons perform any action I can go on to coding the ideas above...

Im working on migrating an old as2 file to as3 and am stuck on a swapDepths issue--Havent had any luck with setChildIndex or swapChildren--Nothing is being dynamically added to the stage and as the clips are nested and consist of timeline layers of textfields and MCs Im not even sure what is a child of what. for some reason on mousing over the menu, the code I have for highlighting the button and showing the text that was appended(on long lines of item descriptions) due to size constraints of the component, is showing up as semi-transparent--I dont understand what is causing it to happen(although I resolved the issue previously with swapDepths)or how to resolve it. The code thats is the issue is in the menuButton MC timeline layer 13...

I have a 'dropdown' menu (that actually goes up...) with 4 buttons inside of it. The menu's bg is just a movieclip containing the buttons. The problem is, when you mouse over a button the dropdown menu retracts. How do I get flash to consider the buttons to be part of the background, so it doesn't think you're mousing out when you try to hover over the buttons?Heres a link to the FLA and some of the code. I've been trying to get it working for over five hours and I'm getting extremely frustrated.FLA: [URL]

I purchased a website template that has some flash in it however the auther of the template lacked to include instructions and seemed to have left it unfinished (The links don't work, of course).
I can't seem to locate the actionscript he talks about: [URL]

Notice that nothing there with clickable links :
I cannot find the actionscript that deals with onRollOver actions I would be absolutly ecstatic.

I have the following problem / bug:
I made a custom button-class (called CustomBlitButton) where a button is defined. The roll over-states of the button are defined inside of the class CustomScreen. That's because a custom screen holds one or more buttons. I can create a button when using the createButton-function of the CustomScreen-class.
So if I want to make a screen with a menu, i.e. several buttons I do this like that (this is just an excerpt):

I am trying to build a website that uses the XML menu in kirupa tutorials. However, I am trying to customise it but I am having problems trying to solve this impossible task! Basically, instead of it being a drop down menu, I am trying to make the menu work on Click instead on RollOver. When the user clicks "on" a link, the link will keep an on state. And when the user clicks on the sub link, that sub link will keep an "on" state.
However, when the user selects a different menu item on the main level, the other "on" states will turn off. So basically I am trying to set up perhaps a variable that remembers which menu item is on and loops through the same level and automacally switches the other items off. Is that confusing? I AM!

The mc I want to tween is a menu button. I just want to change its y coordinate up on rollover and down at its original position on rollout. My mc has a y coordinate at _y 53 and should go up at _y 43 on rollover and it should go down at original _y 53 on rollout. So even if I respect precisely how the code should be built it does not do what I want. Or the mc button goes to high or it does not move at all.
So the code is
import mx.transitions. Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
menu1_mc.onRollOver= function() {
new tween(menu1_mc,_y,Bounce.easeIn,menu1_mc._y,43,3,t rue); };
menu1_mc.onRollOut= function() {
new tween(menu1_mc,_y,Bounce.easeIn,menu1_mc._y,53,3,t rue); };

I have a swf that is being loaded into another swf without a "container" clip (which i am not quite sure how to implement). The loaded swf has _root references so in the very first line of script i placed this:
[Code]...
I also have embedded MC that refer to this _root script. So my problem is that the swf loads but the script which is supposed to close a menu when one menu is opened does not work, they just all stay open when i click other menus.

I'm trying to make a navigation menu that primarily uses key presses to work.
Code:
var keyListener = new Object();
var listSelection:Number = 1;
function upPress() {
[code]....
(note: this uses the lmc actionscript tweening classes)I have 10 items in the list, and basically this works fine for the most part. Press up and the menu slides up 63 pixels (height of one button) when it's not at the end of the list, and press down and it slides down until you reach the end. and it keeps track of which one is selected. fine. great. but when holding down a key it skips forward but might only move the options list only a few pixels. or if pressing the keys really fast it'll make the list stop short.
I guess what I'm looking for is how to make this menu list work so they can make a selection through an animated menu using the keyboard. so press up and the list animates up to the next selection, or press up three times fast and it animates up to the fourth option.

I followed a tutorial to have a movie clip work as an animated menu for a website. One of the functions is set up as follows:
function do_this() {
this.gotoAndPlay("frame label");
gotoAndPlay("frame label");
}
So the animated menu is going to a specific frame in the movie clip while the site is going to the appropriate page. What I can't figure out is how to freeze the menu in the state that it goes to with this function so that it doesn't revert back once the mouse rolls out of the hit area. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

I have a dynamically generated menu populated by two arrays, "menuTitles" and "menuLinks." Everything works great except the onRelease command. I get "undefined" instead of the contents of the array element (should be an HTML link). If I hard code the array element (menuLinks[1]) it works, but as it is, I just keep getting undefined.
function generateMenu() {
menuLength = menuTitles.length;
var currItem:MovieClip;
for (var i:Number = 0; i<menuLength; i++) {
currItem = emptyMovie.attachMovie("menuItem", "item"+i, i);

I made a simple website with a flash menu, that opens internal links in an iframe. However, I have a few other (not included in the menu) external links, which open in the same iframe. And after I click on one of them and it loads in the iframe, the buttons on the menu stop working. I'm beginning to think it has something to do with the internet explorer, since it works on some computers. But I'm not sure... not very good at this.
