ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Drop Down Menu Using DuplicateMovieClip?
May 16, 2004
ok i am doing a dynamic drop down menu which uses php to read the folders name and put it into an array in flash...i'm using duplicateMovieClip to do it... trying to avoid using xml as i want my client to create actual folders instead of editing the xml file...i've tried doing it as of the attached fla. the behaviours are working what i want it to be but the functionality is wrong... the behaviour is when i rollover the top-level button, it displays the submenu or in this case the sub-level buttons... the problem is when i click any one of the button in the submenu... it doesn't work..

I am attempting to work with duplicateMovieClip to make my dynamic infinite menu work...er.. infinitely. I tried some other methods but i think it's impossible without duplicating movie clips since my menu is arrow controlled or jump to controlled. Having said that... I have come up with some code that... does nothing. Anyone have any insight? what i am trying to do is duplicate this movie to appear on the right if the slider goes too far to the left, and vice versa. Eventually i'd like to add a remove clip function if it is offstage completely.

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.

how to make a dynamic drop down menu? I mean I have a button I press it and it ones the drop down menu in a movieClip. I close the movieClip and I press another button and the drop down menu appears again but with different content. The length of the menu is given by the length of an array, and the content of the menu are colors that have to change every time I press another button.

Question regarding the tuturial:[URL]
change the width of the dynamic text field that each text nav item from the xml loads into so that the width changes depending on what is in the xml.
So the width of the button would change depending on the ammount of characters entered.

When I use xml so to create a menu I'm used to binding the XML info to the menu with 'attachMovie' or 'duplicateMovieClip'
[Code]...
I've created a map of the U.S. Each state is on the stage and now I have to attach information I have in a XML file to each state. Its probably a easy solution, but I can't figure out how to link the two together.

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.

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?

Here is the .fla, click on gallery, and open up popup_but to see what I've done in the "over" state:

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.

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 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.
