ActionScript 2.0 :: Properties - Create A Flash5 Menu Tree - Use Scope To Eliminate
Dec 6, 2002
I am attempting to create a Flash5 menu tree, following the Flash4 tutorial at this [URL] I have created the two MC's (a "topMenu" and a "subMenu"). However, when I place the two MC's on the first frame of _root , the properties of the associated buttons get screwed up if I place the two MCs in a verical alignment. It appears that Flash5 makes a consolidated object, such that the _height property for the second MC is determined by adding the _height property of both MCs.
1. Could you confirm that this is what's taking place?
2. Is there a way to use Scope to eliminate the problem?
3. Other recommendations?
NOTE: if you move the lower MC out to the side, the problem disappears. Although a workaround, this seems to be a poor way for the program to function.

I have a simple object defined by an object literal, and have a couple functions assigned to this object. Inside the functions, I try to access global variables, and it only gets undefined. The Flex debugger tells me the variables are just right up the scope tree.Yes, I know I can access Thing by using 'this', that doesn't solve my scope issue though.Project Flex Compiler Settings: Flex SDK 3.4, Require Flash Player 10.x.Example:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="Thing.bling();">
<mx:Script>

I'm having trouble getting to the bottom of this error. The debugger says my class is undefined. Wonder if you might have some ideas, I cannot manipulate the properties in side the Ball class I have created in my main document class.May be a scope error of some kind or a problem with my Ball class declaration.

In the code below, I'm looping through nested xml structure of an unknown number of levels. GenMenu is (or will be) a recursive function that will build each level of the menu. My problem is that I can't figure out how to reference the variables from an eventlistener function. I need to pass the children node_xml[i] to the next recursion, as well as set hover styles on the menu links, etc...
Code:
function GenMenu(container, name, x, y, depth, node_xml) {
// variable declarations
var curr_node = new Array();
var curr_menu:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(curr_menu);

I'm trying to create a little adventure/flash movie game.. where you click around on things and something happens, but the main idea is a little quest where you trade items with few NPC's around the game to get to the end..
As an inventory I have plain drawn inventory, and invisable items/movie_clips on it, that only go visible once the NPC's did action of giving you them and making it visible in your inventory spot (I know, stupid but I'm a noob).. The reason for this is cause I wanted the Quest Items to be as Drag/Drop items while giving to NPC's, not just press/dissapear routine thing..
What I'm having problem with is, saving quest items the Character got from the NPC's.. (in other words they dissapear once the character goes back to the FIRST scene/frame of the game) What I'm looking for is a code that can check if in previous scene/frame were those movie clips visible or invisable, and apply that to the next scene.. so that the items/movie_clips wouldn't dissaear when switching between scenes/frames..
here is an example of what I'm doing, but with out the nessasery code for checking, so it doesn't work properly from the second frame and when you go back to the first one again: here is a link for the flash on deviantArt:the codes that I'm using are multiply drag&drop that I found:[URL] Code in frame for multiply drag&drop:
stop();
_root.blue_mc._visible=false; //makes blue ball invisable at start
_root.green_mc._visible=false; //make green ball invisable at start

public function addNewMc():void{
var newMC:MovieClip= new MovieClip();
this.addChild(newMC);
}
public function removeOldMc(newMC):void{
this.removeChild(newMC);
}
How can I create a new MovieClip within a method, which can be used throughout the class, without defining it at the top of the class? And for extra points, without using return. I can get it to work, if the first function addNewMc returns the value newMC, and passing that to any other methods.

When I create a new tween in the global scope in order to use it many times in my functions, I have to stop to avoid its execution. Is it normal ? Or maybe I should put it into a function and call the tween function everytime I need to use it... mhm. Maybe I answered by myself

I'm trying to make a sniper game, but I'm having trouble creating the scope view (you can only see a part of the screen i.e. the scope, the rest is black). Now, I'm pretty sure bitmapdata is somehow involved, but I've never really worked with the class and therefore am not sure how to do it.

I am trying to use a tree menu to load SWF files into another SWF file. Its not Astra but its very similar. If I could simply get one node linking in an SWF I think I could get the rest. All I could find was how to bring in a movie clip. I have the menu set up and ready to populate but need a bit of help getting it to function how I need it.
I am using AS3, code so far:
stop();
import com.microwebber.tree.*;
import Print2Flash.*
import flash.display.Loader;

I got project, an accordion menu/tree menu, that just has 2 expanding parts. Very simple looking, but needs to look exactly like the image I was given.Not knowing much code, I luckily found an old sample of a real simple tree menu, since I didn't need any expensive components or plugins, nor did I want to deal with external XML files (can't code an XML worth a damn anyhow). But this old sample had everything in the fla, and did just what I needed it to. I attached it here, Menu_Old.zip.I took that exact same setup from the sample, and exact same code to make my current menu.At first, it did work fine, but the text looked really rough (I had to use images), but it definitely looked off. Looks fine in the fla, but when viewing the swf, the images are crap, some rollover states don't even line up.Then upon further inspection, I noticed that the profile of the original sample that I also built off of was an old Flash MX file. Profile said it was flash player 6, and actionscript 1.0. I'm guessing maybe player 6 just had crap antialiasing?Using flash CS3 (but saving these as flash 8), I was able to change the profile on the sample menu to flash 9 (& even actionscript 2.0) and it still works and looks fine, even after saving with the new profile.However, with my new menu that uses all that same code, when I use anything higher than flash player 6, my text look perfect again, but I lose all functionality!This doesn't make sense! And the guy needs this menu like yesterday! The way the text/images look in flash player 6 mode in unacceptable.
I am using flash cs3 and cs4 (same results on both).I put this post in this section because the code and original file are flash 8 or older stuff, plus in cs3, I did save these as flash 8 files.I both modified the original sample fla itself to the new menu to see if that might fix the problem, but it didn't.Nor did starting it over from scratch, despite again using the same old code.My new menu just isn't expanding, other than when profile is player 6 where it looks awful.You can see for yourself, if you change the current menu profile from player 6 to anything newer, the text looks great, but it will likely lose functionality like it does for me. Do the same with the old sample menu, you can even use the player 10 profile in cs4 and it still works.

I'm in the middle of creating a tree menu that needs to expand/collapse when items are selected. I'm drawing all my info from a DB via sendAndLoad. I'm having alot of problems getting the "math" right for the menu tho. If you look at the attached movies (play main.swf, which loads 1.swf) and click on Villas, you'll see what I mean. I need to have each of these items expand/collapse when they are clicked on. There will never be more then one layer under each main country, so it only has to do the expand/collapse when clicking a country.

I have use flash sparingly in the past. I am well versed in computers, but we can flash, very weak. Let's say this I do know how to get into Flash. This is the address for what I'm trying to accomplish. You can see the navigation in the upper left corner [URL].
I am trying to develop a menu tree that has these basic functions:
1. No heavy graphics - basically the information is more textbased.
2. The menu tree works within two tabs.
3. The menu tree using rollovers.
a. The rollovers display a graphic image or text in a "TV" box, display, underneath the actual menu tree.
"Master Swap Action" - there is also a horizontal tab selection available. The master display, largest display area, is changed based on the "Master Swap Action". Also, the menu tree is swapped out. The two areas that are swapped out correspondent to the tab's that were selected. Here is a small sample of how we control the Menu currently. It uses a language called iMint.

I'm making an application that uses a branching tree type structure, and need to get the buttons to refer to and be able to manipulate individual XML nodes. I tried putting a button reference directly in the XML and setting the reference to that node with the event data, but it didn't work, because the XML didn't recognize the event.currentTarget as an actual button, so couldn't find the node that contained the click target. I assume there is a standard way to do this, since it's so common. Just for clarity, the tree will basically look like this:
PrimaryNode1
Subnode1
Subnode1a
[code]....
I need to be able to keep track of which subnode goes where for determining other data as well as graphically positioning the node and subnode data); PrimaryNode2 etc., with add and expand buttons. I can't set static references, since all of the nodes are added through the program depending on if they're needed. I tried doing this with multidimensional arrays, but since I want each level to be theoretically (but not practically) infinite with infinite subnodes, checking through the arrays got kind of messy. I just figured there has to be a standard way to set this up, since it's so common.
