ActionScript 2.0 :: Marking A Menu Item Once It's Clicked
Nov 3, 2011I have a simple menu and would like it to either change color or to have a check mark appear next to the menu item once the user completes it.

I made a drop down menu based on xml file and some simple summation after each click of the item. This drop down menu code is based on the xml driven menu. What I need is how to make every item can only be clicked once, so once clicked, it should not be able to be clicked any more.
View 2 RepliesI have a menu with about 5 items, they all work great with this code on each one:
Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>1) {
_parent["b"+_root.link].play();
_root.link = 1;
_root.play();
}}
(The number 1 changes 2-5 depending on button)
Works great, now.. When I hover over a menu item is turns green, I click it, it takes me to the right page, but I want it to stay green. And when I click another page I want the other menu item to turn green and all other revert back to regular. How do I do this?

I want to know when the same item in a tileList has been clicked so I can remove that item. All the tutorials I've found use a Change event on the tileList which doesn't fire when the same item has been clicked again.
View 1 RepliesSorry if this is a little n00b-ish. I'm working in AS3. I've got an array of 8 buttons. I'm currently hiding the button that is clicked using e.currentTarget. How can I tell flash to make all the buttons that aren't the currentTarget to become visible (i.e. if a button has been hidden by previously being clicked, how do I tell it to become visible again when another button is clicked?)

With a simple array, I'm putting 7 instances of a movieclip up on stage like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:uint = 0; i < 7; i++){
thing[i] = new Thing;
addChild(thing[i]);
etc;
}
This is all good. I'm essentially looking to capture which 'Thing' is clicked on in some sort of variable. Currently I am using getChildIndex to get a number:
thingClicked = getChildIndex(event.currentTarget as DisplayObject);
Which gives me a reference I can use later, but this is not ideal, as the number naturally changes whenever I add others stuff to the stage.

I have struggled through making an application that displays sequentially, through the use of next and previous buttons, information derived from an XML file that is presented in four different text fields. I would like to be able to "select or mark" some of the nodes as having been examined through double-clicking
or dragging and dropping them in a certain target area.
When I double click on the name field, I am looking for two things to happen:
1. The text color in all four displayed fields to change and keep the new color.
2. Have the information displayed transferred to another XML and a text file to be used elsewhere.

I'm currently using a flash template for my online portfolio, but I've noticed that if you right click anywhere, it brings up the standard flash right-click menu with the following items:

I have a movieClip with a dynamically created list of menu titles as an array from an AS3 file. My menu bars are linked to an AS3.0 file. The array is "empty" in the AS file to be added dynamically in the fla file.

2. I need to be able to load a swf file when a menu item is clicked. How do I target the 'current' item clicked when added dynamically?[code]...
Here is the code on my buttons, which work fine.[code]...
How do I setup these buttons so that when button1 is clicked, and the button1 page is loaded, that the button stays in 'Over' state?
And just to elaborate, when button2 is clicked and loaded, I want button2 to be in 'Over' state while button1 goes back to normal.
So basically, how do I highlight the active menu item with my 'Over' state?
I tried with some codes but I couldn't do the following in the popup1. I need to select items when I click I need change the filter effects or colors2. After selecting item in each category that filter effect won't go.
View 1 RepliesI have purchased a menu (AS3 + XML)...very nice, and I have simpleviewer v 2 ...also very nice - However - I have absolutely no idea how to get the xml menu buttons to call on the function that loads the relevant simpleviewer gallery...not very nice
I have spent the weekend going through lots of menus with XML + AS3 but they all seem to fall short of explaining how you get the final xml buttons to interact with any actionscript within your flash movie. This makes me think I am missing something very obvious and if so a polite nudge in the right direction would do just fine. In the mean time this is what I have been doing,
The thought pattern I have at the moment is that I can call a function (that is written on the first frame on the main flash movie) from a button in the xml file. Is this true and if so how?I have been trying to search for terms such as 'call function from xml' etc but have not found any relevant links Based on the two code blocks below I tried this within the xml but no luck
HTML Code:
<item text = "ButtonTest1" action = "_root.loadGallery1" frame ="1" label = "" url = "" target = "_self" />
The function/s I want to call from the flash movie is this
ActionScript Code:
function loadGallery1(e:Event){
loadGallery("gallery_1.xml");
}
[code]....
I have all the relevant as files for the menu if I need to code them, just really need to know what I should be looking for. As it is a purchased download i am not exactly sure if there is any restrictions on sharing code but it is fairly useless within flash if I cannot get it to work in the first place!
