ActionScript 2.0 :: Highlight Active Menu Item Until Another One Clicked
Feb 11, 2010
I have a menu with about 5 items, they all work great with this code on each one:
Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>1) {
_parent["b"+_root.link].play();
_root.link = 1;
_root.play();
}}
(The number 1 changes 2-5 depending on button)
Works great, now.. When I hover over a menu item is turns green, I click it, it takes me to the right page, but I want it to stay green. And when I click another page I want the other menu item to turn green and all other revert back to regular. How do I do this?
I found this script but it doesn't work. My buttons are not in a movieclip, and the instance names are but1-6.[code]The script is on a new layer called actions. Can anyone tell me why this script has NO effect whatsoever?
So, I've always struggled with the best way to do this. I have a method, but it seems like there's gotta be a better way.
Say you have an array of menu items
Code: var menuArray:Arrary = [item1,item2,item3]; , and onRollOver they receive a certain color:
[Code]....
I realize that there's some additional code that would need to be written here, but you get the point. Basically what I'm doing is disabling the button so nothing happens onRollOut. Then I'm setting all the buttons colors to null, but changing whichever button was flagged as active to red.
It seems like a really ghetto way of doing this, and you notice a visible flicker in color of the active menu item if there are a lot of items in your array. Does anybody know a better way to handle this?
I have created a menu with XML & AS3, which works nicely.But, I just met a problem. If I want to highlight a menu item which I just clicked, and it will disable the highlight after I click another item in the menu. How could I do that?
I made a drop down menu based on xml file and some simple summation after each click of the item. This drop down menu code is based on the xml driven menu. What I need is how to make every item can only be clicked once, so once clicked, it should not be able to be clicked any more.
I like to know how to pursue this effect to have the active button highlighted. So visitors know which page are they on. Second part is how to have the fade out effect on the rest while have mouse over on certain text
i have an array made of movieclip squares named "quiqua" that are positioned in a grid with coordinates (grouped into another array named "coo"). Both the arrays have a numeric variable named saturaz. when i click on the coordinates i want to highlight that coordinate and select only the elements which fit with the "saturaz" value. It works fine but I can't figure out how to tell Flash to highlight just a coordinate (and the squares that match with that value) at a time. This is the code.
Code: var quiqua:Array = [rosa, blu, viola, giallo]; var coo:Array = [sat_sessanta, sat_settanta]; var saturaz = uint;
I'm trying to get the menu width of a menu item in flex 4. I can get it but I have to show the menu first, then hide the menu, do a calculation, and show it again. Is there an easier way to get the item menu width without this hassle?

I have two spark lists and want to drag items from one list to the other.

I have made a drop down menu with 7 items but as the invisible bottun around each item interferes with the item besid it, when i try to roll the mouse from one item to another, the invisible bottum dont work and the dropdown remains open.
I have a series of 7 buttons that use the following actionscript that gives each one an Active state and deactivates the active button when another one is pressed[code]...
I want to have a button with a rollover state that is different that the out state. I got that part, but I also want to keep the rollover state active if clicked. I can think of a couple ways to do it but I'm certain there is an easier way to do it. I have about 8 buttons and when I click on on I want that to stay in the rollover state, then when I click on another one I want the first to go back to the out state and the new one that I clicked to go to the over state and stay there.

i wanted to place some credits item in the right button menu (no links, so no events, just a label with credits). i was looking the contextmenu help, and there is an example of how to add items, disable default items and so on, but i could not find how to attach the menu to the movie (the basic part). i tried both on 'stage' and it tells me that stage does not have a property called contextMenu, so i tried to attach it to a sprite, it runs ok and compiles ok but when i right click on the sprite i get the default menu
var _menu_item:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("here goes [code].....
