ActionScript 2.0 :: Linking Menu - Using Items With Text Inside
Mar 29, 2005
I'm trying to create a little linking menu, for that I want to use items and then have some text within those items. When the user then clicks on the item, it's supposed to link. It all has to be loaded externally from an xml file. Now, I can get it to work half the way, the items come up, but it doesn't load the text, and it doesn't link either.
My AS:
[AS]var item_spacing = 50;
var item_count = 0;
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
[Code] .....

I created a 3D carousel in CS5. It works wonderfully. For now, I have it set up so that if someone clicks one of the menu items, the output window say "commited suicide after being cyberbullied", what I want to do is either have different text (that shows in the window) for each of the eight menu items when clicked, or 8 different URL links for each of the menu items, when clicked.

const NUMBER_OF_ITEMS:uint = 8;
//This array will contain all the menu items
var menuItems:Array = new Array();

I have so far managed to create a drop down menu by following some tutorials but have ran into some problems that have left me scratching my head.
Two main buttons have drop downs & I have managed to link to URLs with the drop down menu buttons. My problem is I can't figure out how to link to URLs with the main menu options (these are movies as opposed to buttons).
I also can't figure out how to open the linked URL in the same page instead of a new one.
I have uploaded my menu file in a zip.

I have a basic XML menu that dynamically attaches the menuItem instances to the stage. They are being attached to the root timeline, but I want to put all of the actionscript inside a movieclip called "menu1_mc". I am having some trouble with the proper syntax, because when I move the code inside of the movieclip, I can't get them to attach to the stage unless I still reference _root. I'd like them to attach at (0,0) of the menu1_mc movieclip.

I've gotten as far as getting a listbox with a list of articles to display the articles in a dynamic text box, only i can only get it to work if i use one huge external text file that contains all the articles. what i want is to have each item on the list open up its own external text file, i.e. for each item on the list, there exists a separate text file. I'm about ready to put my fist through the monitor, and that would suck because this is a really nice monitor

So my simple question is, when you link to the library for certain items right, whats the purpose? Does it reduce file size? and if so how?

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]

scrolling 2 sprites. Look at the image below. [URL] FLA LINK (please take a quick look)[URL] I have this entire program working but i need to scroll the left menu and the menu where all the items are added. One more thing, the right menu can have only an few items at a time that do not need scrolling but when more are added then the scrolling will need to take effect.

I suppose there has been such a topic already, but I cannot find it. I have been doing some XML menu (I have covered all the XML tutorials here on kirupa.com) and the code is doing just fine. I am using this one:
Code:
item_spacing = 100;
item_count = 0;[code]...
The menu builds without any problems. But, now comes the problematic part... I want to give those buttons in the menu the function to load .swf-s into the "loader_mc" which is on the main timeline. "loader_mc" is basically the place where I want my "movie1.swf" etc. to load into.I have been trying to figure it out by myself for two days now and I gave up. What can I do (what code to write) so that every button gets to load a different .swf into the "loader_mc"?

I finished my slide show using xml.of course only one picture shows (loads) as my navigation is...the scrolling menu, so there is not click next button as in the xml slide show tutorial.I also finished, as you can see, the scrolling menu movie...i would not use the xml slide show technique with this as you would always have to manually go in and update blank boxes to load pics into as they are not overlapping in the same space.although you super coders can...im just not there...this is my first project with any coding, and im copy and paste man.how do i make it where my buttons in the scrolling menu call up the images from my xml document that created my slide show?[code]

Drop Down menu with the buttons linking to different videos in the same frame...sounds really easy, but I can't seem to wrap my head around it. Now I've got the video and player down in AS2.

I'm currently attempting to link buttons to other frames in the movie. I've tried tutorials and just can't seem to get my code to do what I want. The issue is that the buttons are inside a movieclip, and I'm trying to link them to frames in the main movie (Scene 1).

I have a swf that uses the following code to go to different sections in a movie timeline:
Code:
//This is the script for the main tab menu.
contents.stop();
numberOfTabs = 8;
[Code]....
So basically if someone clicked on the tab with an instance name of tab6 it would take you to frame 6 in the movie clip with the instance name of "contents". What I want to do is be able to have a button (that is on a different swf) when clicked would go to this swf and then would go to the frame inside the movie with the instance name of "contents", (so for example you click on the button and it goes to frame 6 in the movie clip) but how to write the AS to tell the button to go to that specific frame inside the movie clip.

For some reason I can't seem to link a menu on a homepage with the internal pages of the website i'm working on. The thing is that this menu is only supposed to be seen as it is on the home page (it changes to a different location, and has a different look on the internal pages). Problem is I can't seem to get the button to link to the corresponding page.

I'm creating an xml generated gallery/menu, I have the gallery and menu populating fine but my issue arises when I try to make the menu items clickable.
This is inside my populate menu function
_root["mainMenu"+[i]].onRelease = function() {
trace(this);
var splitThis:String = this
var splitThisArray:Array = splitThis.split("Menu");
trace(splitThis)
trace(splitThisArray[1])
};
Now the trace output I get is
_level0.mainMenu1
_level0.mainMenu1
undefined
Although when I set splitThis to "_level0.mainMenu1" manually I get "1" or whatever number comes after "Menu".

I have two PNG images that have text in them as menu items. When clicked, a new XML file is loaded and new set of photos is displaying.Everything works fine, but I want the menu item to be highlighted when hovering the mouse over the item. In other words, so that new image is displayed in place of the old one on MOUSE_OVER, and the old image is back on MOUSE_OUT.
As of now I have two menu items, Portraits and Weddings, movie clips where they are displayed are MenuPortraits and MenuWeddings
I have following properties:

I do see switching of images, but if I leave mouse over - it switches back and forth with high speed. Eventually, when I move mouse out - it can stuck on highlighted state.
