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.
How do I add a UI scroller bar to an existing drop down menu which I created using buttons?
I tried to insert an UI SCROLLER bar. but it didn't work. I'm using the folowing code in the Main button. I need the drop down menu to appear with the scroller. on(rollOver){ contactmenu.play();}
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.
Is it possible to have a context menu on a multiple frame movie with all the options except next, prev and play..?I want to have zoom in/out but not next/prev..
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.
Can somebody take a look at my .fla file and tell me why exactly my menu is not dropping down at all?If you download my file go to scene 3. that is where my Navigation Bar is.URL...
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'm creating an animated (in and out) drop down menu. I've managed to get the menu to open when the user mouses over, with the buttons all selectable. However I can't seem to find an efficient method of making the drop down menu close whenever the mouse is not over the menu. Actions:
I love Senocular's XML-Driven Drop-Down Tutorial. But I can't seem to get it to make the menu headers look different from the submenus.
(and if anyone is interested, i've turned it into a horizonal menu... reply and i'll post the code. better yet, help me fix the GUI issue and i'll post it )
I have an array for my menu and submenus.It works fine, but I have to click again on the menu to close it.When it's open it's completly open it takes too much space.how I could make a menu close when I click on another menu item..this is the code on the frame on my main timeline:
I'm creating a drop down menu and when I addEventListeners to check the clicks on the invisible buttons on frame 19 of the "menu" movieclip, it gives me an error. T really hate doing rollover with actionscripts. The download link for the fla can be found in below. Sorry for posting an external download link as the file is 7mb+! [URL]
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.
i had desined a drop down menu for a html page in flash. It reads the menu items from a XML file and extends itself.Now the things is what height and width should i set for it. If i set the height of the menu, in the html file the dropped menus are not displayed.
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've been trying to to create a flash drop down menu for weeks now,i am trying to do a drop down menu that comes over the HTML items. i am using flash cs4 with Action script 3i would add the file but i cant.
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.
ve got a main menu on my website with buttons. one of the buttons plays a movieclip instance where a dropdown menu appears with more buttons. The dropdown stops on a frame containing a new movieclip with this bit of script on it:
I use a flash header on my website with a slideshow and i want to create a drop down menu. I have created a movie clip for this menu and can get it to drop down but when i attempt to add buttons for links to other pages within the website on the menu i get errors and the menu blinks.
I am trying to make a drop down menu for my website navigation. Right now my navigation is just text and I want to have drop down on only a few links. I only want to have text no shapes as buttons just text.
The purpose is to click on a menu item, and when you do, the items below drop down to a certain y value, in a smooth movement (easing).Later I'm gonna add an masked movieclip in between the items, to show the content of this menu-option.I've added what I have so far, so that you nice ppl can have a look at it.

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...
[code]...
You will need to make another movieclip just like the "menuItem" mc and name it "submenu" and export it for actionscript under that name...
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.
