ActionScript 2.0 :: Inactivate All The Menus?
Jul 16, 2003
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");
}

I'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 have a button and inside the RollOver-code I have this if-statement:
if (gprat == 1){
spelaupp("guide2");
s.onSoundComplete = function(){[code]....
But since the user can RollOver many times and start the sound several times I want to add a code that deactive the RollOver and activate it after the onSoundComplete.

I need my buttons to stay put, but, I need to figure out away to make them stop working temporarily. I have layers above themthat become visible, and the buttons underneath these visiblelayers are working, even though they're covered up. Is there a wayto inactivate them, or make the layers above them take precedencewithout changing the button's _visible property?

I got this tip from another person.
var allowPlay = true;
door_swe_mc.onRollOver = rolloverFunction;
bush_mc.onRollOver = rolloverFunction;
[Code].....
But I can't really get it working. It only plays on of the movieclips once and then nothing more happens. It's like it don't get backs to it initial state, or don't release the allowPlay = false state after the movie clip has ended

I have a movie which when a button is clicked loads an external movie on top of it (just like a popup I guess). The only prob I am having however is that the buttons on the parent movie are still active and I don't want this to be the case.

My setup has several movieclips in different layers. My problem is that .onRollOver, onRollOut and .onRelease functions are still active for movieclips lying underneath. Is it possible to inactivate these functions and then activate them again when it is needed? Or how do I solve this?

My 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.

I 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).

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...

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.

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.

so 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.

What 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.

I'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.
