I am by no means an actionscript genius. I took a tutorial online to figure out how to do a drop down menu. It is all visually functional but when I click a sub-menu item it wont work. For example, if I click the "company" tab on my website, there are 2 options: "about us" and "contact us". In my time frame we are sitting on frame 200. I have added the following actionscript to the "about us" sub-menu button:

I want to make a button stay in its down state when it's clicked, and I did it for the MC buttons "Objectivity" and "Publications", but not for MC button "Fotography", that trigger the vertical drop down menu. I also want that the MC buttons "Objectivity and "Publications" make the "vertical drop down menu" reverse for it's original state (hide).P.S. Of course, I want all the MC buttons link to their respective URL's.
View 4 RepliesThis has been bugging me for 2 days! I can't seem to figure out how to get my drop down menu to work. When I roll over my main button the sub buttons tween down into the mask. It looks great but when I move my mouse down to one of the sub buttons of course they slide back up because I rolled off of the main button.I will put my code in here, but keep in mind it is not finished and needs to be cleaned up =)

I have a drop down menu on my website and it works perfectly fine except for some of the links. i don't have the other pages made yet but i still have the links to the pages in the buttons in my drop down menu. For some reason when i click on the buttons in the drop down menu, they don't go to the pages, they don't do anything. But when i click on the buttons in the sub drop down menu in side the main drop down, they work
the code for each button is the on(release) get url code, is their a different code i can use that will make these buttons work? here is the link to the website so you can see what I mean. the paralegal services button is the one with the drop down.

I am trying to get a drop down menu to work in Flash but cannot get the Actionscript to work. I am a novice at Actionscript so I'm not even sure where to start. Basically, I want the menu to drop down when you hover over it. If I can show me how I should start the script, I can probably figure the rest out. I have four drop down buttons that should come down when you hover or roll over. I can't attach the flash file because it is over the file limit.
View 7 RepliesI have made a drop down menu, that through shape tweening expands when you mouse over a tab...and when its fully expanded...buttons show up...I want the buttons to perform actions when clicked, but as it is now, I cannot get them to simply trace...I have a movieclip named tools on the main stage...this tools movieclip is the one that expands when you hover over its tab...in the tools movieclip I have a button that shows up when the tab is expanded...."jButton" in the main movie...I am trying to access it using the following code...
tools.jButton.onRelease = function()
that does nothing...in the tools movieclip I tried to put actionscript
jButton.onRelease = function()
this does nothing as well...I am trying to make a simple tools menu which will allow the user to print or save the contents of a movieclip...as as soon as the buttons perform any action I can go on to coding the ideas above...
I am trying to build a website that uses the XML menu in kirupa tutorials. However, I am trying to customise it but I am having problems trying to solve this impossible task! Basically, instead of it being a drop down menu, I am trying to make the menu work on Click instead on RollOver. When the user clicks "on" a link, the link will keep an on state. And when the user clicks on the sub link, that sub link will keep an "on" state.
However, when the user selects a different menu item on the main level, the other "on" states will turn off. So basically I am trying to set up perhaps a variable that remembers which menu item is on and loops through the same level and automacally switches the other items off. Is that confusing? I AM!
i have a roll over drop down menu. i am having some issue getting the button(mc) which are in the roll over to bring the content to the main stage. how i can add those buttons in the switch statement that i have on the main swf.

TweenMax.to(contentLoader, 1, {blurFilter:{blurX:20}});
TweenMax.to(contentLoader, 1, {x:stage.width/40, y:300, autoAlpha:0, ease:Expo.easeOut});

Right now I got a problem creating a drop down menu , which drops down the menu when a mouse hovers the panel.The panel is a Button.The Drop Down Menu is a MovieClip.I added an MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER and MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT for the panel(Button). And the EventListeners will do the animation of the drop down menu -- fade in and out using TweenLite.However, this cause a serious problem: since the MouseEventtargets the Button only, when I roll over The Drop Down Menu, it will perform MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT since it roll out the Button!The only thing I can think of is using addchild() which add the Drop Down Menu to the Button so the hit area of the Button extends. But I cannot use addchild() method on a Button which don't have addchild().here's my code:
ActionScript Code:

first I made a curcular button which animates when the mouse rolls over it which you can see here: [URL] I have since realised that I want to have the button produce a drop-down menu and I followed and adapted the following tutorial to try and accomplish this: [URL] I ended up with this: [URL]
I had to change bits as I have the initial glowing animation in there too. Im just trying to get it to work at the moment. A Blue box should appear beneath the button (Once I get it working I will change this to an actual button of course) when the mouse rolls over the button (aswell as the glow animation playing). The problem is that the blue box doesnt appear, the glow animation still plays but no box. In other words, it isn't going to the "open" label on the timeline for some reason.
I have a menu for a website I'm making that consists of buttons that play a drop-down menu movie clip when the mouse moves over them. The problem is, if the user moves the mouse off the button the movie clip stops playing and disappears. I would like it so that if the user moves the mouse away from the button, the drop-down movie clip will reverse itself from its current position and move back up into the button.I've been trying to use the on (rollout) condition, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

What should i do?
I ve got a drag and drop code working, but what I really want to do is have a check answers button that tells the user, you have none correct, or two correct or all wrong... I have one target area, and 3 correct answers (out of 7) so I would like to let the user put as many ansers on the target as they want and then check if they have any correct, also a reset code would be nice to put everything back where it started... I tried to break my code up but the events then went mad, Here is what i have so far, it works instantly and lets crrect answers stay and incorrect bounce back..
stop();
yes1.visible=false;
allcorrect.visible=false;
doit.text="drag over the words that mean Vision";

The mc I want to tween is a menu button. I just want to change its y coordinate up on rollover and down at its original position on rollout. My mc has a y coordinate at _y 53 and should go up at _y 43 on rollover and it should go down at original _y 53 on rollout. So even if I respect precisely how the code should be built it does not do what I want. Or the mc button goes to high or it does not move at all.
So the code is
import mx.transitions. Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
menu1_mc.onRollOver= function() {
new tween(menu1_mc,_y,Bounce.easeIn,menu1_mc._y,43,3,t rue); };
menu1_mc.onRollOut= function() {
new tween(menu1_mc,_y,Bounce.easeIn,menu1_mc._y,53,3,t rue); };
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.
View 1 Repliesive 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.
View 12 RepliesEach 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)?

Basically, I have a button and on click it displays a menu. I want to click that menu a second time and the menu closes. Currently, every time you click the button, the menu reopens. I pasted the Flex livedoc example below. If you click the button, the menu keeps reopening.Now, I rigged it up by setting a var to open and closed, so when clicking the button it does a check. However, if you click away from the screen, the HIDE event gets dispatched, and the menu closes. This messed up the open close var being set.
How could I make this Flex example below show the menu on button click, and then on a second button click, it closes the menu? Take into affect that if you click away from the menu, it closes it.Also, I played around with the MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE event for the button and set the preventDefault, and the FlexMouseEvent event.cancelable is set to false.Changing to a PopUpMenuButton is not an option. I have to much skinning involved.Here is the Flex example:
