What is the best way to keep a sub menu visible? The way I have it coding, is onRollOver the menu button, the sub menu is displayed. I want the submenu to disappear onRollOut of the entire menu... how would you do this?
View 2 RepliesI have a flash dropdown menu with submenus below. Currently the menu has 5 main buttons and when you mouse over each button they have horizontal submenus below.I would like the first button "HOME" to display it's submenu options when you enter the site - basically to be visible without having to mouse-over. The problem is that people don't see that there are submenus straight away.all the main buttons are within a movieclip called "nav" with the following actionscript:
onClipEvent (load) {
gotoa=_alpha;
_alpha=100;[code].....
and has the nav2 movieclip inside with the dropdown buttons each on a frame.How can I set the first dropdown to be visible instead of using the onclipevent?
I�ve built my site using external SWFS. The problem is; I want to keep the loaded SWF viewable until the next requested file is ready. At present, as soon as a button is clicked the screen goes blank and the new file�s preloader kicks in.
View 12 RepliesI have a tree with a dataprovider which takes the following form:
<details name="Cars">
<contact_person>aaaa</contact_person>
<list>
[Code].....
That is I want to hide the contact_person and list nodes.Deleting the nodes from the dataprovider cannot be done.So what i did was to create a custom tree data descriptor by extending DefaultDataDescriptor.Then override the getChildren method and applied a filterfunction to the collection returned by super.getChildren.The problem is when i hide the 'list' node I cannot have the child nodes to show up.So is there any way I can hide 'list' but show the children of 'node'?
My question is: Set parentSprite.visible = false will make all children in parentSprite all invisible, right? And is there any way to just make parentSprite itself invisible without effecting it's children?
View 2 RepliesI want to click on an object and make it appear and disappear. As the object is rectangular, I figured putting a white button the same size on a white background on a layer underneath the object would do this, but I can't seem to make it happen.I'm a complete novice, frustrated as I've been trying to achieve this all day and I'm sure it should be pretty simple, but could you give me the idiots guide. I know how to name an instance, make an object, script in actions on a separate layer. I would like to draw the button myself and give it an instance rather than drag it off the button component (as I can't work out how to make the component button white, change its size etc.!)

View 3 RepliesOkay, this should be relatively easy but I'm running into errors. My main character is visible in the beginning of the game (where the main menu is) and because I coded it so that all of the enemies don't spawn unless the main character is visible, the enemies spawn too. As a result, if you stay at the main menu for long enough, the score continues to go up, the health goes down when enemies attack, etc.

I've made a scrollpage of pictures and I've added a submenu under the page. What I ask for is there a way to link one of the buttons on the submenu to navigate you to a certain place (up or down) on the scrollpage? It must have something to do with the Y property I think, for the site to move up or down to a certain point.Here's the scrollpage: http:[url].....
And here's the fla. file: http:[url]......I've thought about it and tried many different methods without any luck.

creating a Nav with a submenu. Basically it needs to work like this: When you roll over the first button.. the two buttons below it slide down a bit and 4 buttons appear below that.. this needs to stay visible as long as you are rolled over the main button or the submenu.. I can't seem to get the events right.
View 1 Replieshow to make a navigation with a disappearing submenu to the right with actionscript? Basically, you can roll over a button and a submenu for that button appears to the right and the buttons below is slide down a bit. Then when you roll off of the button or the submenu.. the submenu disappears and the buttons below slide back up.
View 4 RepliesI am migrating from AS2 to AS3 and realize the button functionality is totally different. I have a website with buttons that have submenus. I have the first layer of buttons working. They have eventListeners attached that take them to a labeled frame on the timeline. When you get to that labeled frame there is a submenu of buttons there. I tried putting the code for those buttons in the same script on frame 1 but it messes up the movie.
I think it has something to do with the buttons not actually being there on frame 1 when the script is read. I cannot figure out where to put the script for the submenu buttons to make them work. I think I have to put a parent type script in there. Sorry I dont even know what to look up.
Here is the link to the site: [URL]
Here is the code on frame 1:
Code:
stop();
function goCollections(e:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("collections");

How can I make sure a menu button name appears in a different colour when it is selected and stays that colour until the user navigates to another page?Example: My menu buttons have a dark brown font. I have changed the font colour to red on the 'down' state of the button setting. This means the users clicks on a menu, e.g. Gallery and the Gallery button turns red briefly. However, it doesn't stay red which is what I want.

View 7 RepliesI really don't know half of what I'm doing when it comes to Action Script 3. Through a lot of trial and error, I finally have my menu with submenus displaying properly, but just not functioning the way that I have intended. The submenu items appear when a mouse over registers on the mainmenu item. The submenu mouse rollovers are registering correctly because the right content is displayed and the alpha channel changes are registering. The problem is with the mouse clicks for the submenu items. I don't understand why but a mouse click on a submenu button is registering as a click on the mainmenu item, not the submenu item. Could someone please explain to me why the rollover function is working and not the mouse click, and what I need to do to fix my code? I hate to admit it, but I am really clueless here.And here is the relevant part of my code:
SWFAddress.addEventListener(SWFAddressEvent.CHANGE, SWFAddress_changed);
menu1.alpha = 0.5;
menu1.buttonMode = true;

View 1 RepliesI just finished creating a large online flex app with 43 different screens. I am using a mx:MenuBar with four main menus and a couple of submenus to navigate between these screens.I am now trying to convert this into a iPad app as well, but the mx:MenuBar does not appear to be supported in mobile flex. Is there any way I can replicate this sort of navigation system in mobile flex? The user needs to be able to move between any of these pages at any time, and 43 tabs will obviously not work

I have a file with 4 movieclips on the main timeline. 2 of the clips (home_btn, benefits_btn) are used as buttons with rollovers, submenu, etc. The other 2 clips (home_mc, benefits_mc) are basic content. What I've been trying to do for a couple days now is to link from a submenu button (benCor1_btn, not a mc btn) inside benefits_btn to a frame label inside a mc (benefits_mc, "b1"). I've attached my FLA file for some to look at my code and tell what the heck I'm doing wrong.
