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 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.
View 2 RepliesSo if you click on Capital Strategies group on this page: [URL] you'll find a .swf file that has a collapsible menu (accordion menu). Everything works great except for two problems:
1. There is some sort of wierd masking occuring that's clipping the bottom of the menu as you'll see.
2. The items don't collapse entirely.
I assume this has something to do with actionscript but as I'm sifting through it I'm just not having much luck.
I need to make an xml generated menu that when the user clicks on an option, the menu closes down to show only the clicked item, then it opens a new submenu. unfortunatly my knowledge of AC is VERY limited
here's the code I'm using so far
Code:
// ActionScript Document
GenerateMenu = function(container, name, x, y, depth, node_xml) {
var curr_node;

Referring to this senocular menu, ho can I add an ease effect for collapsing submenu sections? Here il the code for menuOpen and menuClose:
Code:
// MenuOpen: this function opens a menu when its title is clicked
MenuOpen = function(){

I need the mouse movement (up and down) to control the expansion / collapsing of a menu.

View 2 RepliesI'm making an application that uses a branching tree type structure, and need to get the buttons to refer to and be able to manipulate individual XML nodes. I tried putting a button reference directly in the XML and setting the reference to that node with the event data, but it didn't work, because the XML didn't recognize the event.currentTarget as an actual button, so couldn't find the node that contained the click target. I assume there is a standard way to do this, since it's so common. Just for clarity, the tree will basically look like this:
PrimaryNode1
Subnode1
Subnode1a
[code]....
I need to be able to keep track of which subnode goes where for determining other data as well as graphically positioning the node and subnode data); PrimaryNode2 etc., with add and expand buttons. I can't set static references, since all of the nodes are added through the program depending on if they're needed. I tried doing this with multidimensional arrays, but since I want each level to be theoretically (but not practically) infinite with infinite subnodes, checking through the arrays got kind of messy. I just figured there has to be a standard way to set this up, since it's so common.
I've got a rollover menu bar of buttons that opens up a list of sub-items below each button when you roll over it. Pretty standard, right? Then once that movie plays (sub-items appearing), a thin box appears both around those items and the menu bar's actual button, meaning that once the mouse pointer moves off of either the button of the sub-items, the movie disappears (that's what my invisible button is set to do). And herein lies my problem.
While the button works almost always, if I drag the mouse pointer very quickly over the active area, the button fails to activate. So I can literally keep my pointer at one side of the screen and race it over to the other side, activating all the sub-menus and making them stick in their 'open' position. Someone on these forums suggested increasing my framerate and I've set this to maximum. It makes the problem less frequent, but doesn't fix it. This problem happens both in the preview window and my browser (Firefox, Vista).So I guess at this point I either need a way to 1) Fix the problem and make them close, either by tweaking what I already have or making a rollover menu by a different means or2) Add something to each item like a 'timeout', where if there's no pointer present for, say, 1 sec, the it closes automatically. But I don't know if such a thing exists, especially in an older version like MX.

My problem that I'm having is I am trying to build a menu consisting 3 buttons, side by side that open and reveal subnavigation buttons on rollover. Then on rollout of the main container button, they close back to where they were. I have built the buttons and everything works great, the only problem is that on rollover of the internal buttons, the main button senses this as a roll out and plays the rollout animation event (closes the button). How can I make the main button not sense the rollovers of the internal buttons and only play the rollout event on rollout of the main button?

I'm using one of the resizeable image gallery's found on this site.It works great for me, but i have one problem.. I can't really expand it now.I use a frame where i load all the thumbnails for the images. 12 thumbnails will fit in that frame, not more. I want to create it like this: if i load more then 12 thumbnails, a link(a nr) will come automatically at the bottom of that frame. If i will click that link i will see the other thumbnails... In case there are more then 24 thumbnails a third link (nr 3) will come... and so on.the problem is that i havent got the slightest idea how to achieve this

View 9 RepliesI'd like to know how to create an image gallery of thumbnails where an image expands to full size when you roll over it.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI currently have an small animation job that involves an enormous zoom out. To do this I need to scale the symbol containing all the animation out in the main timeline, from extremely close to quite far away.
I have two problems that are preventing me from doing this satisfactorily.
Firstly, the transform panel doesn't work. Specifically, entering scale values only seems to work beween 0 and 100%, anything larger gives unpredictable results.
Second, the symbol has become too large for the work area (I have zoomed out as far as I can go) - how can this area to spread out to the whole of the graphic editing area, instead of the third of it that is on the left side?
For example, I have used the Free Transform tool and scaled the item up 2500%, and now it's too big for the limited work area. To scale it further, or scale it back, I need to enter scale amounts into the Transform panel. After doing this, the figures I enter turn into arbitrary other values and my symbol either warps or disappears entirely.
Ideally, I should be able to look at the stage itself, click on the symbol, scale it in the Transform panel to 3000% and be done with it.
I often have the problem that after shifting my AS windows around some times the window becomes highter than my screenheight. The window can only be resized in height when dragging the bottom of the window. But as it is offscreen I can't resitze it. I have to load a new workspace or dock it on some small window group and then drag it away (works only with some windows).
View 4 RepliesI am trying to get input from my Arduino to Flash, Flash gets signals like this: [where each number seperated by a - at the end, stands for the input of a sensor]
mux0array: 0-0-0-0-0-400-0-0-0-20-0-0-0-0-0-65-
mux1array: 0-0-800-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
mux2array: 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-10-0-0-0-0-0-50-0-
Code to convert this text to values in an array, using regular expressions [totally new for me] that would convert the data to:
0: 0,0,0,0,0,400,0,0,0,20,0,0,0,0,0,65
1: 0,0,800,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
2: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,100,0,0,0,0,50,0
which is traced by this line: trace(dataId + ': ' + dataArray);
So dataId can change from 0 to 2, and dataArray contains multiple (integer) values
Friday, this worked perfect. But for some weird reason, it stopped working properly: it looks like it merges lines when it shouldn't:
1: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,02: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,01: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 ,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,21: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
As you can see, the first line, is working fine: 16 values
the 2nd line contains 33 values: the 16 values supposed to come after the 2:, but after that 16th value, a linebreak is missing, and the 0: is displayed as a 0, and adding his 16 values behind it. The same goes for line 3: 1: 16 values,2,16 values,0,16 values
the next line only merges 1: and 2:
This is the used script:
// accumulates data coming from arduinovar sensorData:String = "";
// connects to arduino boardvar arduino:SerialPort = new SerialPort();
arduino.addEventListener(DataEvent.DATA, onArduinoData );

I know that people don't generally like expanding flash banners, but my motive is simply to provide additional details for the sponsors of my forum[url]...
As you can see, in the upper right hand corner, I have a very simple rotating flash banner that shows the local companies that keep it going. I'd like to provide an additional service for people that are interested in using them, where each sponsor gets a drop-down menu that has a map, address, directions and contact information IF the user clicks on it, and wants to see the information for that sponsor.
Now I know enough about flash on how to create the actual banner itself, but for the life of me, I simply cannot make it extend over the rest of the page. It always ends up displaying the entire .swf file, no mater whether I make half of it transparent or not.
I've tried using several banners, including the Double-Click Ad Kit and some other expample flashes, but for the life of me, and through very extensive googl searching I can't find any clear cut instructions on how to make it extend OVER the rest of the body. I've found some pages that sorta mention how to do it, but I really have had no luck in duplicating it.
