As you can probably guess i am making a rotated menu system. It all works fine except the code above.Basically what happens is that when I click the "MUSIC" button, then the "HISTORY" button, then to the "MUSIC" button and finally the "HISTORY" button, it seems to do the opposite clockwise direction to what it did the first time i click on it.....
I'm wondering if anyone would be able to point me in the direction of a tutorial using action script 2 on making an expanding menu system. [URL] This one is a tutorial but I could do with one from the start step by step!
I've been trying to find a solution to this for a while, but I haven't had any luck.I'm making a menu system that uses sliding movie clips instead of separate pagesbut when you click on the 'study at UWS' button, the nested slider kind of goes nuts, until you press on of the side buttons.
I'm creating an animated (in and out) drop down menu. I've managed to get the menu to open when the user mouses over, with the buttons all selectable. However I can't seem to find an efficient method of making the drop down menu close whenever the mouse is not over the menu. Actions:
i was wondering how this menu was done, i have been looking for tutorials and several threads, but havent found anything, where should i start reading about this ?
coding this menu system and cant find any tutorialsor templates on multi level (4) drop downs. I dont know weatherto make everything a movie clip and load the mc's or to place buttons inside a movie clip. Everthing will be onrollover.
I need to create a rather detailed menu system that will load thumbnails of movie clips that I can then double-click on and it will load them into the display list of another movie clip.
I think I can code the loading part but I've never dealt with creating flash menus before and don't have any help in the 5 as3 books I own.
Is there a way I can make the menu generate the thumbs from an external file that I can just update when I need to instead of editing the flash file?
I had to make a new website and just about got it done in AS2. The problem is that some of the buttons within the menu had sooooo much AS that i was getting very lost. Heres the site i made [URL] I now have to create a new site but i dont want a repeat of last time. The issue i have is that for each of the buttons i would tell it on(release) to go and chech what frame each one of the other buttons was on and if any were not in their "Off" mode it would tell it to play from a lable within the button movieclip as well as tell the text relating to it to fade away. NOW Ive tried doing this as a function in the new project but its not working no matter what i do.
I'm new to actionscript 3 and could really use some help to develop an xml driven menu system. I would like to make the menu system similar to the navigation used in this site. [URL] I just need a simple version of this maybe 2 - 3 categories on the left and all of the children for them on the right.
I have a menu system at the top of the screen with 4 tabs - they look like the tabs on a filing system. When a tab is clicked it should enlarge slightly to show that it has come to the front and push the other tabs away from it so the layout is kept intact and nothing is overlapped.
The left-hand edge of the farthest-left tab should always be in the same place - that tab can only expand to the right. I have a rough idea about how to go about this but it's all on the very frontiers of my knowledge and i know it's got some maths in there.
I can supply images but there's not really any code as yet because i don't really know where to begin.
Ive just followed the tutorial about creating a full flash site using root. I got that working fine. My problem occurs when i want to use tellTarget in my menu system as well. The movie looks for the actions contained in the mouse overs of the menu in the main movie. This is the error message i get:
I'm trying to create a menu system and I've created a "Button" with a dynamic text field on it. I'd like to set the text of the button when I add it to the stage but I'm having some troubles. Does this work differently then a dynamic text field on a movie clip? I've done it successfully on a movie clip.
var test; test = new menu_item(); stage.addChild(test); test.x = 610; test.y = 100; test.menuText.text = "Hello World";
I get this error message in my output window... TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at Main$iinit()
I wanted to put there a background that will change (fade out and than fade in another one) according to menu position. It would load external *.swf's. For example I'm in "A" and the background is "bg01.swf", after clicking "B" the "bg01.swf" background would unload/stop (fade out) and than the "bg02.swf" would fade in and start to animate. I can't put the right script in the menu system. The source files are attached to this post (Flash CS3 source file and the backgrounds):
I'm in the process of learning OOP and have run into a small problem. I'm trying to create a basic menu system where you can rollover and rollout of all links. When you select a link, it stays highlighted until you click another link.I've given the 5 links instance names like (link0, link1, link2, link3, link4) and given them each an ID of (0,1,2,3,4) - respectively. I used to be able to do something like this:

I'm trying to add a system of health to one of my games.The actionscript I'm using doesn't seem to be working, and I've tried many different variations.This is what I'm trying to use: In Frame 1 Actions:
I am attempting to revamp a website. The buttons that are currently being used are only gifs that are hyperlinked and there are almost 12 buttons... I think that this is a ridiculous amount of buttons to have. It looks very cluttered. So, I figured I should make 6 buttons and just fit the rest of the buttons into subcategorized buttons. And the way to do this is to create flash buttons with drop down menus. To see what I mean, go to this link and look at their buttons:
[URL]
Their buttons drop down into menus with sub-categories. I want to do this.
So far, I have gone into flash, created buttons and made graphics for the "Up" "Over" "Down" and "Hit". I have also added the menu buttons and graphics for the "Over" of each drop-down button-menu.
I have even provided the action script to link each button to where I need it to go.
HOWEVER, here is where the problem is. When I roll the mouse over the button, and then move the mouse down to click on one of the buttons in the drop down menu, the menu disappears, OF COURSE, because the mouse goes off the hit. I can't make the hit bigger, because the menu shouldn't open unless it's on the main button. But without the hit being bigger, the menu will always disappear.
IN ADDITION, I've never used flash buttons on a website before. I'm just using HTML. How do I link the button to the page? Do I save the file as a .swf flash file? And link to 6 different files? Or do I save the buttons in a line, and just use one link?
I have no idea how to make it so that if you press p once, it pops up, and if you press it again, it dissapears.I want it to start off screen and when you press the button it goes to coordinates inside the screen.here's what I have:
ActionScript Code: if (Key.getCode() == 80) { if (_root.pause1 == 1){
making a Magnifying menu i have text menu and i have this idea that when user scrolls on top on the button it will enlarge a little and at the same time it will enlarge other menu buttons. I don't know how to explain it but it should look something like MAC X menu.something like that
I am attempting to make a flash website, and have 5 buttons on my menu. I made 5 pages in a movieclip called "content". I want to know how I can link those buttons to go to those pages (actionscript and where to put it).
I have seen flash website templates, and see only ONE button, but when I looked at it in an .swf, it shows all buttons with their specific text label.
I have a bunch of menu windows that I've placed on separate frames (for example main menu is on frame 1, options menu on frame 2, chapters menu on frame 3, characters menu on frame 4, etc). On each menu there are a bunch of text links (movieclip instances), when clicked goes to another menu page. Some of these same links (same instance) are duplicated on multiple pages since they perform the same function. For example clicking the "backToMain" instance will go back to frame 1, which is main menu, regardless of which page it was clicked on.
Does anyone have an idea how I might build this? So far I've tried to add listeners to every single link, however since lots of links are on different frames other than frame 1, I can't add listeners to them until I tell actionscript to flip to that frame, which I don't want to do. I want to globally add listeners to all links all at once in the beginning:
i have a trouble while making menu in adobe air i want to use f2, f3, f4 shortcut, but when i use keyEquivalent = 'f2' property it showing in the menu but not working. when i press f2 it does not work but when i press f it works it means it just taking first character does any one can solve this problem.
I made a drop down menu with sub menus. It is a movie clip. When I drag my movie clip menu to the main timeline I don't know how to make the buttons manipulate the main timeline. Like going to a certain frame. Everytime I put code on the movie clip, it manipulates the movie clip itself. Is there a trick to this?
I'm trying to make a navigation of sorts using a bunch of thumbnails there will be 3 columns and 3 rows.I have made an array of images, created a button with an empty movie clip in it. And I am attempting to make a 3 by 3 grid of buttons based off the array... Here is my code.
