View 10 Repliesi have a problem with my flash menu. It's simple menu that contains one MC at start that works as button, u can edit size of the menu from external .txt file by changing the value of menu length. All that works fine , my problem is that every new duplicated mc contains dynamic text area as a label. Labels are also loaded from that .txt file , but that works only for the 1st mc because the newly created text areas in mc's dont have Instance Name set. How can i assign them from as?

View 2 RepliesFor the life of me, I can't get it to work. All I want to do is roll over and change the background color of the cell. I've tried adding it in as a behaviour in the submenu movie clips. But when i try to trace the onRollOver, nothing happens.This is how the XML looks.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

I'm using a class to dynamically populate menu items based on arrays. The menu has to allow individual chapters and lessons to expand/contract to display the slides within.
I'm trying to set it up so that when the user hits the Chapter or Lesson item, it rebuilds the menu with the appropriate Chapter/Lesson expanded. I've got that part working, but I need to remove the elements that were previously added using addChild, but I'm not sure how to clear all the elements from an object?[code]...
Lets say i hava category and some articles in it (one article - few photos and description). I want to make a thumbnail menu in footer each thumbnail linking to an article. The question is how to make this menu to load automatically? If i put articles in category/article1, category/article2 (and so on) folders, I want to see two thumbnails linking one to first article, second thumb to secont article. If i add one more article, i want thumbnail to be loaded to site automaticaly
View 4 RepliesI got the first part to work. The only problem is when I click any buttons it produces errorTypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at resume_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()not sure what I have to do. All it's supposed to do is when you click a button the target movie clip plays frames 2 - 10 and the previous movie clip plays frame 11 - 20. Not sure what's the problem here.

Link to site: [URL] I've been trying to create a flash website menu that updates the menu text via an xml file. The problem I'm experiencing is that when I update the dynamic text in the menu, it doesn't seem to go through. I know I am referencing the dynamic text correctly as when I run the swf for the first time, I briefly see the correct text for about half-a-second before it is replaced by the default dynamic text. There is something that is overwriting the new text with the default values but I cannot see what is causing it.
I am changing the dynamic menu text in _root although the dynamic text exists in nested movie clips i.e. '_main.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_1.menu_b utton_text'.

I guess that my problem is really simple, but I have no idea, how to do it.. The idea is simple: I need to make dynamic menu with mouse over effect. Button and hover are from library. When I go with mouse on button i want to make hover visible, but I have no idea how to get to the hover, because there is no e.target. Look into the code:

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a dynamic menu where the menu items are coming from an ASP page. I'm passing a string to the flash movie containing the menu headings, the flash script then creates the appropriate number of copies of a menuitem sub movie. This works fine. The problem however, is that I can't seem to dynamically set the onPress event for each movie.[code]...

I want to load the menu horirontally and have the buttons resize to the width of the text with a margin on each side. I need the margins to equal the remaining width of the menu stage divided by the menu items(nodes) divided by 2.I have spent hours on this and now have very choppy actionscript code in my source.

Code:
var linksXML = new XML();
linksXML.ignoreWhite = true;
linksXML.load("menu.xml");

I have been working on building a XML menu and I have been able to create the top level menu but I am not sure how to add the sub menu items in a drop down. I have a link to a zip file containing my XML and FLA file. I am using CS4.The top level menu items consist of the following and the sub menu options are listed. In this list, Items 1,2 and 3 are top level menu buttons and item 4 is a sub menu button that would drop down from item 3.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a Dynamic flash Navigation Menu which will disable the button of the page you are on leaving the button in the "hit" state and then active it once you have called for a new page and deactivate the new button. I know this can be done with movie clips and some old school gotoAndPlay/Stop slight of hand but I would like to do this in actionscript so its nice, clean, and scalable for other projects.

I have 2 files.. new_men_beta.fla and its class file, (the one below) which is called menu.as. In the new_men_beta.fla, are all of the necessary movieclips. What I am trying to do, load variables from flashvars, and depending on the 'rank' variable, a different menu will load up. for example, admin rank = 30. if the variable 30 is submitted via flashvars, then the menu items would have an extra 2 options, each with their own submenus. the guest rank (0 or unset) has only one menu options (with submenu), and each movie click is exported to flash. So far, the blow code, puts the background for the menu options, info_bk_mc, in the right place, when the cursor is placed over the button. However the removechild statement, after TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE has come into action fails to work.
ActionScript Code:
package{
import flash.filters.*;
import flash.utils.*;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
