i created an application and it has a menu bar at the top of the stage it also has a loader component below it. i need the loader to load an swf when an item is selected from the menu. Does anybody know how to code this. I am using the following code:

I had a flash template with nav button menu and sub button menu, in flash player the menu and sub menu works for different pages, but sub menu do not work in web page, whatever page goes, it always load sub menu for home.

I am trying to make a menu that loads external swf's into my current movie. Here is the code that I have, which does what I want, except the buttons only work in order... you can't click the last one first, for example... They only work in the order in which the button variables are scripted...
import fl.controls.Button;
var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();addChild(my_loader);
var about_btn:Button = new Button();about_btn.label="ABOUT";about_btn.x=50;
[Code]....
I have been looking at so many snipets and such.. and whats with all the brackets at the end... I kept adding them until it wasn't expecting right bracket at end of program anymore. Like I said, it works but you have to click "about" first and so on down the list, once through, then what ever order after you have loaded them all once.
how to load external menu into main.swf . do i have to create 2 different empty MC's
View 2 Repliesi'm using hga77's xml menu you can view here.ok, so i'm trying to load swfs from the menu, what i've got so far is:
Code:
function executeAction()
{
loadMovie("NEWS.swf", _root.content);
trace(NEWS.swf);
[code]....
but the menu stops working. is there anything i can stick in this bit "function executeAction()" that will make the loadmovie load a different swf each time, rather than creating loads of loadmovie functions.
I have a menu that is populated by XML, I'd like to know how I can clear that menu to load another one in it's place.
I can get the other menu to load but it's adding itself to the previously generated menu:
so let's say I have an XML document that has <menuItem> nodes that have nodes within them named [this is the default menu][code]...
how can i clear the XML or for loop that created the buttons so that the newly loaded menu from the newly loaded xml is the only menu that is displayed and not tacked on to the existing menu?
For some reason the menu doesn't load to the URL that I specify in my xml file. When I click on it, it showed up as text underneath the menu itself as Link clicked How can I make it so that the link will actually go to URL that I specify in my xml file?[code]

I have created this site with a expanding / collapsin menu. When a user selects a menu e.g. "hammers" then the menu is loaded and show the submenues. When the users closes the menu by moving the mouse away from the area the menu collapses. If the user expands the menu again the menu should have remember the last visit menu and show the menu.
View 4 RepliesI'm making a loader.swf to load a menu.swf file. I'm done this dozens of times the same way and it has worked perfect. But this time...when I load my menu and trace it out, the loader keeps loading and reloading the menu.swf infinitley and I don't know why.
The only thing I've discovered is that my menu.swf file will load just fine IF I delete all of the actionscript from it. If there is even a comment in there the infinite loop starts again.

i have used a purchased site template, everything works fine locally but when the site goes live it starts off fine but the first menu you click on nothing ever happens, if i go to another menu this loads as expected and if i then go back to the previous (non working) menu it also now loads. Everything works fine from now on just never on the intial load, does anyone have any idea why this may happen?
View 15 RepliesI've used the so-called "Barney's Slide Menu" for some websites I've built. eg: www.mediashox.com
As some of you may know, this is built in AS1. I'd like to load an xml slideshow into this menu [which is on level0, of course]. But it seems all xml slideshows are built in AS2 or later.
Is there any way I can load an xml slideshow into this Barney's menu? Are all xml driven flash movies AS2 or later?
currently, I have a XML menu. I followed the tutorial from here: [URL]. It needs more work and tweaking, but that's for later. The menu.swf is from an external SWF and it's loaded into my index.swf using the loader.My question is how can I have the menu load different external SWFs, in other words, different part of the website. Do I create another loader in the index.swf for loading the website's content? Can I use the existing XML file for the loading the SWFs?
Here are the codes I have so far:
Index.swf
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

I have a very simple problem here, I have googled around for awhile but it seems that its impossible to find specific flash subjects.

View 2 Repliesi need to load a series of variables into a menu. seems easy, i've done many times. the thing is, i have to get them from an asp who asks for a parameter.So i tried this:
loadVariables("/medidores/txtflash.asp?pkey=c0321733a51ffa323f", 0, "GET");
but this not seems to work. So, i tried this instead:
send_data = new LoadVars();
send_data.pkey=c0321733a51e82fadc8b3f081ffa323f;
trace(send_data.pkey);
send_data.sendAndLoad("medidores/txtflash.asp", get_data, "POST");
does flash actually stores whatever is in txtflash.asp into "get_data"?

a) scrollable menu where my multiple image of png will load into
b) multiple (could also be one image) of png images that will gradually appear into the same folder where my .fla file is.
c) a layer of frame (more of a window, it's scrollable upwards & downwards) - the place for my original sized png image to appear
d) dropdown menu - that will contain form1, form2, form3 [form1, form2, form 3 will represent which part of the png image willl be shown in (b): form1 = top, form2 = middle, form3 = bottom]
1) a png image (possible that the png image will come in multiple) will load into my flash movie automatically, specifically all of them will load on a scrollable menu one after another, side by side with the png image size reduced to fit into the menu.
2) once i click one of the png image on the menu, the image will appear beneath its [like what i've explained in (c)]. this image is scrollable only upwards & downwards within the windowframe, and it should be the original size (not the reduced one to be fit into the menu)
3)below, there's a dropdown menu [i've explained in (d)] that will be chosen from, let's say form1 is chosen. the window where the scrollable png image is, will show the part where i set form1 is for.
I have created a menu that loads external swf files using this code:
[Code]....
Check out [URL] to see its operation. I am now testing a sub menu within one of these menu movie clips. When the mouse hovers over the movie clip, the sub menu movie clips appear. The sub menu movie clips have this same code (with the intention of the user being able to click on the sub menu movie clips and the new swf file kicks the current swf out of level 30 and loads the new one) however the swf file fails to load to level 30.

I was getting in to transitioning from AS2 to AS3 a while back and had designed a page that had menu buttons that when clicked, loaded an external swf in to a container. Pretty simple accept for the fact that it was a while ago and my computer crashed so I'm having to redo this and learn it all over again. I have read in to flash on the subject but I am not to sure on the best way to go about this. I know there are a lot of people on here who make thing a lot more simple and structured than I do. I'm so used to putting the actionscript on the button and I'm a little stuck on the best way to combine the actionscript for the button and loading the swf. I would need to make a button load an external swf in to a container when clicked? I figure I just need one and then I can copy it to all the other menu buttons.
