ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Drop Down Menu / Adding Next / Prev Function
Sep 28, 2009
I am trying to create Next / Previous buttons to use in conjunction with the XML Drop Down Menu seen here:URL..Basically, I would like create buttons which would navigate the content back and forth once the user has made a selection within the drop down menu -- so that they can navigate the xml content without having to go back to the drop down menu each time.I've been trying to integrate a function similar to the next/prev found in this xml gallery: URL... to work with the drop down. I presume the function needs to call nextSibling or Child or something, but I have tried a few things to no avail.

I'm using a template for a simple dropdown menu with tweening which was posted on this forum (sorry can't find post to credit contributor)I want a button on the menu to add to score when clicked (buttons.....I know.......couldn't figure how to do this with an mc). The button works outside of the menu but not once it is inside the menu mc.Attaching a demo fla in CS3.

openMenu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openSubMenu);
function openSubMenu(event:MouseEvent):void {
this.openMenu.nextFrame();
} openMenu.closeMenu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeSub);
function closeSub(event:MouseEvent):void {
this.openMenu.prevFrame();
} stop();
I've got the above code on my first frame, and was hoping that it would open a menu when a button was clicked, and once the button within the MC is clicked it would then close. Hence the nextFrame and prevFrame actions.
I keep getting TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I have created an XML driven Drop Down menu using the kirupa tut by Senocular found here. I am trying to figure out how to get the submenus to push the rest of the main menu down on rollover kind of like this. Not sure where to start to get the AS to get the button created fromt he XML nodes to move down.I haven't changed the code found int he tut too much and the menu works fine except that the rollovers just go over the main menu.

ive followed Senoculars drop-down menu tute [URL], awsome stuff, but it seems the submenu's dont disappear to well when you roll out. ..They only disappear if you click on another menu item or when you click outside the menu.

Each time I make a drop down menu I face some problems, For example, when I use tweening to roll out a menu ( via ROLL_OVER/ ROLL_OUT), sometimes the menu gets stuck, or starts flickering after it is rolled out if I move the cursor away, and move back on it.
How could I solve this, should I use a timer to disable the button until the tween finishes (or this would be good for nothing)?

I need a tutorial for a hierarchical drop down menu system that drops down 3 sub levels. Do I make the items in the sub menus individual buttons and then insert them into a movie clip or make every sub menu item a movie clip and insert them into buttons?

I need to add a drop down menu to the main menu button called "galleries".
The menu came from one of the awesome kirupa tutorials here, and below is a link to my existing menu w slider:

When I try to add a popup menu to "galleries" to the over state in galleries, the popup menu dissappears when you rollover the first item.
Here is the .fla, click on gallery, and open up popup_but to see what I've done in the "over" state:

I made a simply drop-down menu in MX with an invisible perimeter around the drop-down part that will collapse the menu when rolled over. Most of the time, this works. However, I've noticed that when running the mouse quickly over the button (side to side quickly, for example), the menu will occasionally open but not close, and I have to roll over it again (crossing the perimeter) to collapse it.

any Action Script tutorials to activate the menu and sub menu found here:currently the drop down menu is part of the "over" frame of the button.this flash project will function only as a menu for an HTML site (probably using HTML frames). I am brand new to action script but have experience with basic key frame animation.

I have a vertical dropdown menu created in Flash linking to an XML file. Each of my submenus needs to link to a document within my website. I am using a getURL command in flash to link to my page but when I put the page name into the xml file it isn't working correctly. eg, when I click on the sub menu button the URL address for the page should be [URL]. It is coming up as [URL]. If I correct the URL the page is there but how do I program flash to bring up the correct URL.

I have a made menu bar with effects and everything. The menu bar height is about 60px, and it must stay that way. But one of the menu options, needs a on ROLL_OVER effect that will open like five other options underneath the menu. My problem is that I am embeding this menubar into HTML, so I need it to stay 60px, and the vertical dropdown menu must appear over it, and have its own effect... Any Ideas? I am thinking that I need something that will either extend the width of my flash stage size, or maybe some code that will open a whole separate swf and i can position it properly.

know Sen's xml menu well i've updated it a bit grabbed some code from somewhere else on this and added a simple little bit of code in my self so that youcan have a horizontal menu with the pop out bits as vertical menus. I've also made it so that you can have the pop out menu as a different menuitem than the horizontal bit.
You can easily make it so that the first menu is vertical and the pop out as horizontal or have them both going on the same axis
Follow Sen's tutorial on this site on Xml Pop Up Menu's
here's the code....... i hope this is what someone else is looking for...

HOW do I go about doing it?Ive tried...buttonon "over" create to movie clipinside movie clip have my animations and sublink buttonsit works fine, but there's one problem, The hit area of the main button HAS to cover the hidden sublinks, so even if you scrolled your mouse over the bottom of the button (in the invisible area) it will still show since its in the hit area).How can I create a simple nav drop down? I seriously have went through almost all tutorials, both video and text, and nothing has worked! I am using Actionscript 3, or whatever the tutorial says to use.edit: Here is something I'm working on. Its a button, and on the rollover it creates the animation. Obviously it doesnt work, because you cant have a button inside a button, so I don't know the actionscript to do this.
