I would like to have menuItems with checks that show what element of the menu has been selected. I know it is possible to have checks with XML. But is it possible to have variables in XML because the elements of my menu are variables. If there is a component on sale that has exactly the design of the flash component menuBar + menu and that is more easy to program,

I am new to Flash. I bought a template online a couple weeks ago, and for the most part have made all the changes to personalize the page. The page is for wedding videography, and came with a Videos section. However, I do not like the template video player, and would like to have the Videos link on the menu bar go straight to my youtube channel rather than to the flash player. Primarily all changes to the template have been made in a text.txt file, rather than the flash file itself. My question is, how could I change the link on the main page to route to my youtube channel? Here's what it looks like in the text file:

I'm working on a portfolio. Right now theres two buttons that both expand and close the box which contains my content. The only problem is once the box is expanded (viewing about me for example) and you clicked the contact me part, the box would just close and not re-open. So what I need to know how to do is to close the box and have it re-open with new content.This has to be done in actionscript because that was my challenge so please do not give me other solutions such as making more MovieClips,
View 5 RepliesI've made an external preloader (loader.swf) that loads another file (test.swf) - it works fine. However, if I change the test.swf-file with a new version, I have to clear my browsers cache to "update" the new version.
CTRL+F5 only seem to check for a new version of the loader.swf - i cannot force update the file which the loader checks for.
So to the question, is there an easy way to have the preloader check for a new version of the test.swf?

finishing a function that checks 6 positions (indiciesOfInterestShape) in a dynamically updated array (productCode) for two types of values; the number 0 or any number between 1 to 8 .I need the result of this function to update the finalNumber variable to a number between 0-6.If a 0 is found at any of the 6 indicies it will mean the final number does not increase.If a number between 1-8 is found at any of the 6 indicies then the final number increases by 1. And seeing as there are only 6 indicies to check the maximum number will only ever be 6.This is what I have so far
// indicies that are dynamically updated 10 19
public static var productCode:Array =
[C,A,1,A,1,A,A,1,A,A,0,0,A,0,0,A,0,0,A,0,0,A]

I have a MovieClip that when the update(); function is called, it checks the cells (on a grid) around it to see if there is an object there. If so it updates it's image to reflect that.

I'm trying to get a custom flash gallery going by using the loadMovie command with Jpeg's. I must use this method as it's what is required by our project. I am trying to figure out some way to make an array to keep all of my image names and then detect which button is being pressed and have it call the corresponding number within the array.Currently I have some code that is working quite well but not fully
Code:
stop();
var thumbArray:Array = ["i1", "i2", "i3", "i4", "i5"];[code]........
I have two buttons currently instanced named i1 and i2.The trace is working and calling "i1" but for some reason even though i set i1 = "thejpeg.jpg" it isn't calling the jpeg.I can upload my file if necessary.Also i'm going to need to be able to unload the opened jpeg by clicking anywhere off of the jpeg's area, .i know how to unload a jpeg but I don't know how to detect when you click any surrounding area of it.
In flash, is it possible to have your application check that the environment it is running on is "recognized". If so, how do you go about doing it? I want to put my swf on my website and prevent people using it on their site.

I've got a rollover menu bar of buttons that opens up a list of sub-items below each button when you roll over it. Pretty standard, right? Then once that movie plays (sub-items appearing), a thin box appears both around those items and the menu bar's actual button, meaning that once the mouse pointer moves off of either the button of the sub-items, the movie disappears (that's what my invisible button is set to do). And herein lies my problem.
While the button works almost always, if I drag the mouse pointer very quickly over the active area, the button fails to activate. So I can literally keep my pointer at one side of the screen and race it over to the other side, activating all the sub-menus and making them stick in their 'open' position. Someone on these forums suggested increasing my framerate and I've set this to maximum. It makes the problem less frequent, but doesn't fix it. This problem happens both in the preview window and my browser (Firefox, Vista).So I guess at this point I either need a way to 1) Fix the problem and make them close, either by tweaking what I already have or making a rollover menu by a different means or2) Add something to each item like a 'timeout', where if there's no pointer present for, say, 1 sec, the it closes automatically. But I don't know if such a thing exists, especially in an older version like MX.
Well, I was able to simply enough (after about an hour of googling) implement i18n (internationalization) into my Flex application by having to reverse engineer the Flex SDK and do a lot of digging (a specific question on here helped me a lot! (with some updates for flex 4.5)).The problem is, I can't use my {getLand('key')} bind inside an <fx:XMLList> (how you define the contents of a <mx:MenuBar>. I've included some example i18n below, as well as an example of the menu bar.
<!-- Example of proper (working) i18n -->

I'm developing a multi monitor fullscreen application with Adobe Air 2.6. I can create a window for every monitor, and put those windows to fullscreen.
theWindow.stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
The problem comes when interacting with those windows. If I click the window on the main monitor (the one with the dock and menu bar) no problem, but when I click any other window the system menu bar becomes visible. I've tried resizing the main window to match the monitor size and moving it to a negative coordinate but it always stays behind the bar. Is it possible to do this in Air?
I'm trying to look for tutorials on getting my AIR application to OSX's menubar when minimized. However, when I try to search for it, I end up getting examples on doing it for the system tray on Windows and the Dock on macs. I don't want the app to stay on the dock when the window is not visible. I want it to minimize to the menubar instead. EDIT: I don't want to learn about working with the OS X dock (on this post at least). I'm interested in working with the menubar. (See image below.)

I have a menuBar that looks like this:
<mx:MenuBar id="myMenuBar" labelField="@label" cornerRadius="8" color="black" fillColors="[green, green]" itemClick="menuItemClickHandler(event);"
dataProvider="{menuBarCollection}" change="onTopSelection(event)" />
The XML for my menuBar looks like this:
<menuitem label="Vision">

As you can see there is Vision and Contact Us but the eventHandler doesn't know when those two are clicked. What is the correct way to implement the eventHandler?
I have an mx:Menubar, which I need to be able to open/expand based on the key pressed. For e.g., if Shift + R is pressed, it needs to open the 'Request' topmenu. Then if Shift + N is pressed, it should load the 'New request' module in the module loader. I've already implemented the MenuBar/module-loading functionality with the mouse, but I haven't been able to implement the keyboard shortcuts. I found a nice sample at [URL].
However, the solution directly performs the action (e.g. Shift + N to load the 'New request' module). The menu does not open/expand when you press the shortcut as though you had hovered your mouse over it (e.g. Shift + R to open/expand the 'Request' topmenu and then Shift + N to load the 'New request' module).

I have a MenuBar which opens downwards except when there isn't enough room to open it. For example, it may have 10 items but there's only enough room to display 4-5. Flex then tries to display the menu above the bar, which is completely off the screen. Is there some property or style I'm overlooking to always force it to open downward?
EDIT: Thought I'd give some clarification as to how I plan to circumvent the issue. If I can always force the menubar to be orientated downwards, I can make it into a scrollable menubar displaying only a few items at worst.
I wish to skin MenuBar, and change it's itemSkin to something else, like different background color for each menu item.

Is there a way to store the clicked menuItem index of a clicked menuItem on a menuBar component?I need to be able to create a previous and next button that relates to the currently clicked menuItem of a menuBar. My menuBar dataprovider is an XML file. So I'm thinking it should be possible to show the nextSibling or previousSibling according to the clicked menuItem of a menuBar
