ActionScript 2.0 :: Senocular's XML Drop Down Menu Into Classes?

Aug 6, 2005

I'm trying to create a large site where I'm using AS2.0 classes to manage everything. I've started working on porting the XML drop down menu by Senocular into a XMLMenu class with limited success. I have two issues/problems.I'd love to offer this AS2.0 class to anyone once I have it figured out. (One note, it's already slightly modified to be a horizontal menu with the submenus appearing below each menuitem).

#1: On top level items that are in the XML that don't have submenu's (they are just <item/>), I get a weird extra menuitem with "undefined" as the label, and the placement is off by one menuitem.

#2: I'm not getting the submenu's to appear at all. I thought it was an XML issue, but I'm pretty sure it's getting the XML right now...I wish I had more info to give here.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Calling Childnodes From XML Driven Drop Down Menu?

Jun 9, 2008

I am trying to use Kirupa's XML drop down menu(action script 2.0): aka: [URL] however I cannot have it output the childNode. This is because it is using a for loop with the curr_item variable. when I try to trace the for loop count variable, it just returns the last for loop variable. I basically want it so that when I click on a button on the 3rd tier submenu, I want it to output all the prior tiers that the button belongs in.

The rollOver events are defined in the AS but when I tried adding a function to change the colour of the item it either had no effect or broke the nav eHere is the code (from Sen's tutorial modified with new actions):

ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Based Menu By Senocular?

Essentially imitating the behaviour when the first menu is hovered over.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Use Senocular's Zooming, Springy Menu?

Sep 25, 2006

[URL]..i've been trying to create something like this for ages but haven't been able to - quite new to actionscripting.anyway, i want to be able to display text in the boxes so that it relates to my website. at the moment, it'll only generate "item0, item1, item2, etc." but i want the text to display "home, gallery, etc."

here's a part of the script that i think needs to be edited to get it working but i don't seem to be able to do it.

[Code]...

there is 1 movieclip in the library called "item" and this is being re-used i think. but i don't know how to edit this source file to allow different text to be shown. also, if someone can let me know how i can add in the actual links that would be fantastic. ie: i want to go to home.html when home is clicked, go to gallery.html if gallery is pressed.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Adding Images To Senocular's XML Menu?

I'm working on a navigation bar based off of senocular's amazing XML drop-down menututorial. I've managed to make the menu horizontal, and changed the boxes from rectangles to squares. All of that works fine. Now I need to figure out how to add an image to the inside of each element, and I can't figure out how to do that.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Senocular Script - Make Different Content In Each Menu Item

I have attached a file with a senocular springy menu that i have been playing around with. One thing i would like to know how to do is - towards the bottom of the script on _root, a comment says: // for unique content in item clips, attach those / movie clips to the item clip here i have tried many ways to make different content in each menu item, but to no avail (my knowledge of actionscript is not that great). What i would most like to do is have different text on each item and a different onRelease action for each one.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Senocular's Free Transform Tool (or Even Senocular)

Mar 14, 2007

I've been using Senocular's free transform tool: [URL] in tandem with an image upload (using the fileReference class) so that users can upload an image and the transform it.

The free transform class has a function that allows you to restrict the scaling of the movieClip that you apply the free transform to, but it works on a 'scale' rather than specific height and width properties. My problem is, that I don't know what he dimensions of each uploaded image will be, so if it's restricted to a scale, some images will be allowed to be bigger than others....

ActionScript 3.0 :: XML Driven Menu Into Flash

Feb 28, 2012

I've been hunting for tutorials on XML driven AS3 menus. I've found some really cool stuff, but nothing that does what I want, and most don't really explain the "hows' involved in getting the XML into the flash. I want to dynamically load menu buttons based upon an xml document in horizontal fashion with sub menus that load 10px down and to the right of the main menu button. With each item in the sub menu filing to the right. I'd also like to have that light up bar track the main buttons so that as the mouse moves over the bar slides to it.

Here's the code for the bar:
ActionScript Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
button_mc.buttonMode = true;
button2_mc.buttonMode = true;
button_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, hover);
button2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, hover);
function hover(e:MouseEvent):void {
new Tween(bar_mc,"x",Strong.easeOut,bar_mc.x,e.currentTarget.x,1,true);
}

Most of the XML driven code I have found obviously doesn't have a static instance name and use addChild()

ActionScript 1/2 :: Adding Submenus To An Xml Driven Main Menu?

I have been following and bastardising a computer arts tutorial for a dynamic flash site, its a really good tutorial and I'd like to keep going with that format/style, but I'm pretty new to the whole scripting thing and am finding it a bit of a headache, so was wondering if any kind souls would help me work out how to add submenus to the code below.the main menu button is a movie file(btn_projects_main) consisting of a button (button) and a text box(txt) and is 3 frames long to allow for the different states: What I'm looking for is a set of sub menus which load horizontally below the main menu buttons, here is the code which has been altered slightly (thanks to Ned Murphy for his help and patience with that)

// Setup some initial variables
// Hide the button that will display a web link_root.theUrl._visible = 0;
// Hide the image icons in the project loader// The image icons are simply there to make

ActionScript 3.0 :: Kill Broswer Cache In XML-driven Menu?

Jan 6, 2011

I would like to use an XML-driven menu on my site and everything works fine so far, but the XML is connected to a CMS, meaning new menu items can be created through the CMS and added to the Flash menu. That's works, too. Here is the problem: Browsers usually caches XML files,to modify the line where Flash retrieves the XML file:e.g. instead of getting: 'menu.xml'. It should more look like this: menu.xml?'+Math.random(),(or whatever is the exact syntax for a random number is in AS. This would kill the cache, correct?Here is the AS code:

// declare the package

ActionScript 2.0 :: Basic XML Driven Menu - Button Pointing To Same SWF

Code:
function skapaMeny(menu_xml) {
var proj:Array = menu_xml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i=0; i<proj.length; i++) {
var desc = proj[i].firstChild.childNodes;
var swfURL = proj[i].firstChild.nextSibling.childNodes;
