ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Menu - Moving Down Items To Show Sub Navigation
Oct 30, 2006
I have a vertical menu which is generated via xml. Each menu item also has its own sub menu (not shown). When clicking on the top level item I want the rest of the items to move down to show the sub navigation. i.e.
menu item 1
menu item 2
menu item 3
menu item 4
menu item 1
sub menu 1
sub menu 2
sub menu 3
menu item 2
menu item 3
menu item 4
I have that working fine. Say if I have clicked on menu item 1, and the sub menu is displaying, before i have can view another sub menu I have to click on menu item 1 to close it before I can click on menu item 2.
This is the code that I am using to tell whether or not to move the buttons up or down:
Code:
menuButton.clicked = false;
menuButton.onRelease = function () {
if(menuButton.clicked == false) {
_root.moveMovieDown(buttonNum, buttonHeights);
menuButton.clicked = true;
[Code] .....
Basically I want to be able to click on any menu item button, if a menu item is open, I want it to close, and then open the new one. Just like this one. [URL

I'm updating this site for a client:
[URL]
I can't get "Motion" and "Press" to show as active. Basically this is done via a gotoAndPlay function, but it's not working. In addition, the code also deactivates the menu item when it's active; so, if I was on "Profile" before going to "Web" or "Press," that item remains inactive once I've clicked on "Web" or "Press," so I can't click on "Profile" again until I go to any of the other pages.
Below is the code for the navigation. Also, there is an external file named BookSection.as that I believe contains the code we would need to edit, I just can't figure out what it is - I've tried several edits.
You can find here (I couldn't upload since I don't have more than 50 posts):

I am making a navigation menu in that I want a curtain to show up on the same page. In other words the user just stays in the same page and different curtains show up according to which menu button he presses with the corresponding content showing up in a curtain. I've given diferent names for each menu button which i converted to Movie Clips: bt_eol; bt_mar; bt_hid; bt_amb; bt_who. Then I created a Movie clip for the curtain and put it on frame 40 so that I can load a .doc file that has the content for the Menu button bt_eol.
Code:
function bt_eol(e:Event) {
mc_conteudo.gotoAndStop(40);
mc_conteudo.source="Conteudos/eolica.doc";
} bt_eol.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,bt_eol);
The mc_conteudo is the curtain. But I get this two errors: Incompatible override and Duplicate function definition. Or is it better to use a UILoader? This is probably easy to do as I've saw this on other websites,the user just presses a menu button and a frame/curtain/window whatever shows up with the content.

I'm trying to put together a sideshow using a modification of load_images.fla (a sample file supplied with Flash) combined the the 'Kirupa Menu with Slider' tutorial ([URL]) The slideshow uses a 'next' & 'previous' button to click thought the images. In addition to this I have a separate slide menu navigation (currently just numbers 1-7), with a rectangle highlighting the number of the image being viewed. I would like to move the rectangle to show which image is being viewed, when the 'next' or 'previous' button is pressed. The follow code shows the actionscript for the 'next' & 'previous' buttons....

I am trying to create a Dynamic flash Navigation Menu which will disable the button of the page you are on leaving the button in the "hit" state and then active it once you have called for a new page and deactivate the new button. I know this can be done with movie clips and some old school gotoAndPlay/Stop slight of hand but I would like to do this in actionscript so its nice, clean, and scalable for other projects.

I have created this site with a expanding / collapsin menu. When a user selects a menu e.g. "hammers" then the menu is loaded and show the submenues. When the users closes the menu by moving the mouse away from the area the menu collapses. If the user expands the menu again the menu should have remember the last visit menu and show the menu.

I need to add a couple menu items to an existing Flash menu that I did not create, but I am having trouble figuring out how to make the buttons stay highlighted until you click another one. Best way to simply describe my problem since is to simple show you. The first 5 links work exactly as they should. But the last 2 (Careers and Client login) do not stay go highlighted on the loaded page. [URL]

I am making a navigation for a site, and the client wants a box behind a menu item to show that it is the active option. He wants that box to move to behind the new option when selected. So my navigation goes along the x axis; home contact about etc. Initially the box, which I have given the instance name 'tab' is behind 'home' as its the homepage.
So by clicking on say, the third option, the box will move from home to the third option, and say the user then clicks the second option, the box is to move to behind that. I got 4 navigation items, all are buttons, all on their own layer with the box being on its own layer too (obviously below the layers for the buttons so it appears behing the menu item).
I thought it would be quite simple, have some code which effectively says:
buttom1.on(release) {
tab.moveto(x value, 40);
}

New to this forum, but was wondering if the moving background on this site [URL] is actionscript or just an animation. It looks very cool. I wanted to use the same effect for a school project I'm working on, I am using MX 2004.

My css-driven navbar works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. I think it has something to do with the Flash movie it flys out on. My page is here. The very first menu item is "Customer Service" and it should have a flyout item of "Claim Forms." I have tried using the wmode=transparent in my Flash embed and messed with z-index in my navbar elements, but nothing seems to work.

I'm creating my first game in Flash mx. Its a conveyor belt game where toys move from left to right. There are several boxes located underneath the belt. The user has to drag and drop each toy into its correct box. I want each toy to continuously come out in a random order. (1 idea) randomly select movie clips from the library? Each movieclip representing a toy.

I want to build a flash based website and place there 4 button MovieClip instances. Once the user clicks a button, all the EventListeners the button attached to (Mouse_OVER, Mouse_OUT, CLICK) are removed until you click another one. Then the previous button gets these listeners back again. One button is always active at a time, so you can't turn on/off buttons.I thought it would be easier to write a ButtonClass and link the button MovieClip to it. But I had to realize that I can't listen that previous button from that class, because it only listens itself obviously. I'm trying to use "dispatchEvent" but I can't get it to work.In the flash movie I have only one frame, 'cause I'm trying to do this without the timeline. I want to use Classes and this and that to practice but I'm stuck with this problem.

I am having an issue with using the SplitViewNavigator component in flex 4.6 using Adobe Flash Builder.
[UPDATED]* * *
I am building a reddit app for the blackberry playbook tablet, and am making use of reddit's API. I have three mxml views: RedditReaderHomeView .mxml, redditFeed.mxml, and subredditList.mxml. In RedditReaderHomeView.mxml I have a splitViewNavigator. In left side of my SplitViewNavigator resides subredditList.mxml,and on the right side resides redditFeed.mxml. On initialization, redditFeed.mxml pulls in XML data to populate its list with reddit entries, and subredditList.mxml pulls in XML data which populates its list with subreddits(categories) to display. When a user clicks on of the subreddit entries on the left, the redditFeed.mxml on the right should update so that the data it pulls are entries from the subreddit category that was selected on the left. In other words, classic master/detail navigation. Category on the left, which opens entries of that category on the right.I have a function that passes the url of the selected subreddit over to redditFeed.mxml.
subredditList.mxml - here a subreddit is selected and its url is sent over to a function in redditFeed.mxml
public function list_clickHandler(event:IndexChangeEvent):void {
var RSSItem:Object = redditList.dataProvider.getItemAt(event.newIndex);
var thisItem:Item = RSSItem as Item;[code]....

1. How can I show the items in rows of 4 and 4.. Instead of just repeat them vertical?
2. How can I load the thumbnails in the menu items?
3. How can I load the image for the chosen item in the image placeholder?

I've been doing flash for a while, but I've never been good at coding. I'm trying to make a navigation bar for a website that follows the path of a mouse. Some examples are below: [URL] I'm looking to create something similar, however instead of having a bar slide through, I think I want an animated mask.
I want to set a default background image behind the text of the buttons, and a mask that fades out ontop of the background layer but behind the text. For those who don't understand... imagine a flashlight being pointed at a wall in a pitch black room. The circular source of light gives light to the background.Different from the examples above, I need to figure out how to make it follow the mouse exactly, instead of jumping to the next button automatically? I also suck at masks, but I'll be able to look that up. Are they animatable, or should I use a layer that is semi transparent in a circular area?

see the attached file for reference. A couple of things :I have a selection bar moving down or up 25 pixels on press, but it seems to be adding 2 pixels on each successive move, how do I get it to respect the 25 pixel movement restriction?
While the selection bar is moving, you can press the button again, breaking the code and sending the bar off the screen. Ive tried to solve this with a boolean (var moving) to tell whether the bar is moving or not, and thus prevent the movement code from running. However, once the bar has stopped, I cannot get it out of the moving = true state, to move the bar again.
edit: "I'd like to add a movement tween to the bar..." There is a thread above about this, plus millions of examples around the web.
