View 1 RepliesI 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]

View 7 RepliesI want a hittest of the _root.mouse and a mc when the mouse is down.
I tried among other things this but it doesnt work.
this.onMouseDown = function(){
if ((_level0._xmouse == boll._x )&&(_level0._ymouse == boll._y )){
trace("down");
}
}
How do i obtain the xmouse value outside the flashmovie - or even outside the browser itself.
Check out this site - they do it:[URL]..
It even works if you draw the area on to a secondary screen.
I want to do it - and i want it now
I am a having a MovieClip on the stage , instance name "photo"
-width 1500 px
-height 100px;
and main scene width & height 400px;Now when i take mouse on the left side of the main scene, the "photo" MovieClip should move on the right side and when i take my mouse on the right side of the scene the "photo" MovieClip should move on the left side. Maintaing the exact ration from left and right side.
im trying to make a mc start playing by moving the mouse (_xmouse) of to the right side.. I need to make the mc paly without the use of a rollover button when the mouse passes over a the last 100 or so pixels to the right.. i been trying to modify this scrip to do the job but it currently plays the mc with every little move of the mouse.
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {
if (root._xmouse, true) {
mymovieclip.play(1);

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".
Why these menu items won't open the specified url's in the same window? (won't open them at all)
And why is there no hand cursor (like normally when you mouse over a link)?

View 1 RepliesI 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.

ActionScript Code:

A good button should have all the available out, over and down states, and often there are a bunch of nice to haves such as animation, disabled states, filters, you name it. I seem to change my mind in each project I do. The last one, I reskinned and extended the Button Component. The project before I extended SimpleButton Before that I built my own custom class using a Sprite and TweenLite. Then of course you need to work out if you will use library items which is great for laying out on stage, or do everything from scratch using code, which is more powerful but crap for design. I haven't looked at the swc or component route myself.

I have a menu of 10 items. I want that the selected item be highlighted. So i have a function "highlight item", called by the item listener on MOUSE_UP event.

how can I deactivate the previous highlighted items in the menu ?
I'm updating this site for a client:

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.

I asked how it were possible to have a XML-driven dynamic menu in Flash where you could tell it how many columns to display in. Scotty directed me towards the following [code]...
The reason being is that the way I've implemented this script is within a menu that only displays certain items pulled from an XML document (by using an if statement > if myrelateditemname = oneoftheotheritemnames then success - that kinda thing). The problem is, it still seems to be going by the total number of items in the XML document to display the menu, rather than the total number of items that achieved success in the if statement, therefore, when the menu displays, it is leaving gaps where the unsuccessful items would be displayed.
