I'd like to add an extra set of buttons that extend from the submenus, so basically a sub-sub, or second sub if you will. How can I do this from the FLA I have. I've attached the files (FLA MX/XML) if you fancy a go, and I've already done the XML file to include a "secondsubmenu" entry...
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create an xml accordion menu that has main menus and a sub menus buttons (movieClips) revealed with a mask. Simple question, How do I stop the mask area which reveals the sub menus catching mouseEvents on the submenus?The main menu button is a movieClip, it has the mask sprite attached to it as a property so it can scale dynamically to reveal the subMenus. They are set as children of the main menu button container. In my code I've set mainMenu.mouseChildern = true. But when the mainMenu is clicked I change mouseEnabeled = false to help prevent the main menu receiving events. This helps on rollOver rollOut events, but when I click or mouseDown on the subMenu the mask catches the event also and activates the main menu again. I've tried the obvious mask.mouseEnabled = false; mask.mouseChildern = false; mask.hitArea = null; and even setting mask.alpha = 0 but this has no effect at all.
I don't understand why the mask has to extend the hitArea property of the mainMenu and why this can't be set to null. It also seems crazy that when mouseChildren = true the parent clip also has to receive notice of the event.
I found this site. It has a lot of cool usefull stuff, plus you can put on your own stuff and sell it.
View 1 RepliesMy question is in relation to AS3 dropdowns. You can check the page at: http:[url].....Under the "Visitors" and "Media" links, there are mouseover dropdown menus. You'll notice that they stick a little bit, and to make them go back up, you really have to hit very specific hit areas. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
View 2 RepliesI have a swf file that my graphics designer has created for me that is placed on my intro page of my asp.net mvc website. The problem is that when the site is viewed with Internet Explorer (works as it should in firefox) the flash image sits over the top of my dropdown sub menu's (menu's at top of page that when user hovers mouse over they expand a sub menu).
[Code]...
1) I have a set of menus (movieclips) with 2 states: active and inactive (frame labels). I want to be able to inactivate all the menus but the one clicked. Let's say I have 3 menus and that are called m1,m2,m3.
2) The syntax for m1 would be something like this: (all inactivated and then the one clicked is activated)
on(release){
for(i=1; i<4; ++i){
menu="_parent.m"+i;[code]....
I know just doing this down here it works but I want to automate it...what if we had 30 buttons? The problem i menu.gotoAndStop ("inactive"). Menu gets the proper content in the loop..that is.. _parent.m1 , _parent.m2, _parent.m3.
/
_parent.m1.gotoAndStop("active");
//_parent.m2.gotoAndStop("inactive");
//_parent.m3.gotoAndStop("inactive");
}
a friend of mine wants me to change up his flash website template a bit. He has a horizontal navigation bar at the top with links but he wants me to change them into drop down menus so he can have additional links, I have the original fla files and everything too.

//but now I don't know how to work out which thumbnail is clicked _level0._level0 is the only output I can get for it
I have 3 menus, each with 4 different options (clickable buttons). Depending on what you selected in each of the three menus you get a specific resulting image.
View 1 Repliesif the mouse is under the button (outside the mask) the button still activatesis there a way I can create a shape &/or script to "mask" the EventListener much like how the graphic is masked?(the space under the buttons will eventually contain random photos)
currently the menu uses this script:addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,upyoga);
stop();
var speed:Number=.3;

I have figured out how to do most items I have needed to change in a template I purchased, but I'm stumped on this one. How do I change to hover over color of menu items? I can supply the fla and flv files if needed. I just don't know which item(s) I should be working on in the library to do what I want to do.

View 3 Repliesso I'm currently working on a project where I will have the user mouse over an image (in this instance, a paint can) and ideally a menu should scroll up with information (which is a movie clip) and when the mouse comes off the menu would scroll back in. What I've currently got going is the paint can image as a button, and on another layer I've got the movie clip at 0% opacity. The action itself works, but the point in which the user has to mouse over is very finicky. There must be something I'm missing. I've worked with Flash years ago, so I'm a bit choppy.

View 1 RepliesWhat I am trying to do is have the pages animate out when you click on a different menu item, it would just disappear and tween in the next animation.The site is setup so the buttons are all on the main page, when you click a button the buttons fly away and the content flies in. There is a back button on the content box that makes the content fly away and the buttons fly back in.Here is the code I used to get it to work, this code is for a site I'm currently working on, this is the main page AS:[code]However the site keeps working perfectly, it just tosses this error in the output tab.There is also a strange delay after clicking away back to the main page.

View 2 RepliesI'm designing the UI for my level editor and I found managing multiple menus and buttons can become complex and annoying to program for every single situation and for every single button. Which as you can imagine it becomes tedious.Imagine you have 2 buttons both of them open drop down menu's when clicked but I only want to have one menu open at any time.To further complicated the situation in one of the drop down menu's there is a button that when clicked it'll open a further sub-menu in place of the previous one.Here is how I've gone about programming such a situation.
PHP Code: [code]....
I want to open menu 1:
checks if any menus are open
if so close them and open menu 1...
...and so on for every menu further multiplying the amount of programming every time I add a new menu. I have to go back to the buttons that open all other menus and program for the occurrence that, the new menu may be open.I was thinking some kind of function could handle all the menu's but my brain is to frazzled to think.
I'm creating a simple game, and I want my dropdown menu to display the character's HP and Money count, which already have values assigned throughout the rest of the flash. ( health = 100; and money = 5; ) However, whenever I try to make the value show in this dropdown menu, it will not display any dynamic text. I've had no trouble making it show anywhere else in the flash , but when I try to make it show within the menu movieclip, it won't.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on [URL] and I'm having problems with the semi-transparent png backgrounds when I embed flash into the page, but only in Internet Explorer. See attached. notice how the semi-trans white seems to fade out away from the top left in the drop down, and in the 5-pixel border encircled. On pages without flash, it's fine. In Firefox, Safari, it's fine. I tried using the Unit PNG fix, and that made the image backgrounds look perfect, but then my drop-down hover menus became buggy, i.e. they would hide if you moused over link text in the menu and then moved back into the white empty space in the menu. Argh. I'm running IE 8.0.7077.0, Firefox 3.0.9, on Windows 7 build 7077 x64
View 1 RepliesI have custom context menus that I wish to disable when I do a certain action in the application, and re-enable them again once the action is finished. Kind of like using save as in a program. When the save window comes up all parts of the program is disabled except the save window.
When the window appears in my application, it doesn't cover the movieclips that I want to disable context menus for. So can I do this with Flash alone?

I've been following an xml tutorial webdesign tutorial, as I'm pretty new to the whole coding side of things, I've copied their code into my own design, which has been going fine up until this point.
In the tutorials the dynamic menus were alligned vertically, in my site I want them to run horizontally, well I managed to suss out how to realign them, the problem is that the spacing between each button is set according to the end of each (invisible) button. This makes each gap a different size and makes the layout look really clunky.
I'm wondering if theres a line of code I can insert, which defines the size of each button according to the size of the text, or alternately, that starts the spacing from the end of the text rather than the button.
