I'm using a template for a simple dropdown menu with tweening which was posted on this forum (sorry can't find post to credit contributor)I want a button on the menu to add to score when clicked (buttons.....I know.......couldn't figure how to do this with an mc). The button works outside of the menu but not once it is inside the menu mc.Attaching a demo fla in CS3.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create Next / Previous buttons to use in conjunction with the XML Drop Down Menu seen here:URL..Basically, I would like create buttons which would navigate the content back and forth once the user has made a selection within the drop down menu -- so that they can navigate the xml content without having to go back to the drop down menu each time.I've been trying to integrate a function similar to the next/prev found in this xml gallery: URL... to work with the drop down. I presume the function needs to call nextSibling or Child or something, but I have tried a few things to no avail.

Right now I got a problem creating a drop down menu , which drops down the menu when a mouse hovers the panel.The panel is a Button.The Drop Down Menu is a MovieClip.I added an MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER and MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT for the panel(Button). And the EventListeners will do the animation of the drop down menu -- fade in and out using TweenLite.However, this cause a serious problem: since the MouseEventtargets the Button only, when I roll over The Drop Down Menu, it will perform MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT since it roll out the Button!The only thing I can think of is using addchild() which add the Drop Down Menu to the Button so the hit area of the Button extends. But I cannot use addchild() method on a Button which don't have addchild().here's my code:

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 had to change bits as I have the initial glowing animation in there too. Im just trying to get it to work at the moment. A Blue box should appear beneath the button (Once I get it working I will change this to an actual button of course) when the mouse rolls over the button (aswell as the glow animation playing). The problem is that the blue box doesnt appear, the glow animation still plays but no box. In other words, it isn't going to the "open" label on the timeline for some reason.
I have a menu for a website I'm making that consists of buttons that play a drop-down menu movie clip when the mouse moves over them. The problem is, if the user moves the mouse off the button the movie clip stops playing and disappears. I would like it so that if the user moves the mouse away from the button, the drop-down movie clip will reverse itself from its current position and move back up into the button.I've been trying to use the on (rollout) condition, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I have created an XML driven Drop Down menu using the kirupa tut by Senocular found here. I am trying to figure out how to get the submenus to push the rest of the main menu down on rollover kind of like this. Not sure where to start to get the AS to get the button created fromt he XML nodes to move down.I haven't changed the code found int he tut too much and the menu works fine except that the rollovers just go over the main menu.
View 1 Repliesive followed Senoculars drop-down menu tute [URL], awsome stuff, but it seems the submenu's dont disappear to well when you roll out. ..They only disappear if you click on another menu item or when you click outside the menu.
View 12 RepliesEach time I make a drop down menu I face some problems, For example, when I use tweening to roll out a menu ( via ROLL_OVER/ ROLL_OUT), sometimes the menu gets stuck, or starts flickering after it is rolled out if I move the cursor away, and move back on it.
How could I solve this, should I use a timer to disable the button until the tween finishes (or this would be good for nothing)?

Basically, I have a button and on click it displays a menu. I want to click that menu a second time and the menu closes. Currently, every time you click the button, the menu reopens. I pasted the Flex livedoc example below. If you click the button, the menu keeps reopening.Now, I rigged it up by setting a var to open and closed, so when clicking the button it does a check. However, if you click away from the screen, the HIDE event gets dispatched, and the menu closes. This messed up the open close var being set.
How could I make this Flex example below show the menu on button click, and then on a second button click, it closes the menu? Take into affect that if you click away from the menu, it closes it.Also, I played around with the MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE event for the button and set the preventDefault, and the FlexMouseEvent event.cancelable is set to false.Changing to a PopUpMenuButton is not an option. I have to much skinning involved.Here is the Flex example:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[

import mx.controls.Menu;

View 3 RepliesI made a simply drop-down menu in MX with an invisible perimeter around the drop-down part that will collapse the menu when rolled over. Most of the time, this works. However, I've noticed that when running the mouse quickly over the button (side to side quickly, for example), the menu will occasionally open but not close, and I have to roll over it again (crossing the perimeter) to collapse it.
