ActionScript 2.0 :: Tweens Out A Group Of Menu Items When Rollover
Feb 23, 2008
I've got an area that, when you rollOver, tweens out a group of menu items. These menu items change colour when you mouseover. When you rollOut of the whole area, the menu tweens back. It seemed like the most simple thing to do, but it keeps giving me trouble! What I've got at the moment is an invisible symbol over the top of the rollOver area, including where the menu sits. The menu items are individual buttons for the mouseOver effect. I've got a full page invisible area (my standard technique - I call it "blockout") sitting right at the back, so when you rollover that (and off of the invisible area) the menu tweens off.
I can't just use rollOut invisible area because hovering over the buttons triggers that response and causes the menu to tween off. I've had to do plenty of similar things for work (apparently 'basic flash' to them meant I can do complex AS-based apps), and just tend to use my blockout method, but now that it's my own site, I'd like to do it right! If anyone knows a better way to do it,

Is there a way to group context menu items into a tree like structure?Like the Quality in built in menu.You can test it on any flash that has the built in items enabled.Right Click -> Quality -> Low.Can you do the same with custom items?For example:Right Click -> Custom Options -> Option 1

I am having a problem looping a group of tweens. What happens is, a sprite is tweened on the y axis from 490 to 240, there is a Timer delay of 3 seconds then a second tween is activated taking the sprite from 240 to -20. The problem I am having is when it gets to -20, I want it to start the whole tween process again. I have tried using the yoyo() function but this does not work.
Code:
var creditsTextTween:Tween=new Tween(CreditsContainer,"y",None.easeIn,490,240,5,true);
creditsTextTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, stopFor3Seconds);

I have a DataGrid with info like this:
Associate AmountTimeCustomer
John Doe 29amSam Smith
John Doe 210amBerry Cooper
Bill Ace 19amSandy James
Repeating the name and amount gets redundant so I would like it to look something like this:
Associate Amount
John Doe 2
Bill Ace 1
Then when you select one, it expands to show the times and customers for the selected associate. I hope this makes sense...I am currently just using a DataGrid but I can use an AdvancedDataGrid if thats needed...I am pretty sure something like this can be done, I just don't know how.My data is in xml and looks like this:
<stat associate="John Doe" date="08/12/09" amount="2" time="9 am" customer="Sam Smith"/>
<stat associate="John Doe" date="08/12/09" amount="2" time="10 am" customer="Berry Cooper"/>
<stat associate="Bill Ace" date="08/12/09" amount="1" time="9 am" customer="Sandy James"/>

I'm trying to use XML to convert the code that a Flex RTE creates to valid HTML. No problems on other HTML elements, but difficulty with unordered lists. I created a solution for moving consecutive LIs into a UL node. After trial and error, I came up with the following solution. My question is - surely there's a better way to do this?
for each (listXML:XML in xml..li) {
if (listXML.children().length() == 0) {
// list item is empty - make it an empty paragraph instead

I have a container which is a sprite. In that container I have added several movie clips. Now I am trying to drag that container over the other containers and have them move out of the way for the one being dragged.
so here is how I create the containers:
ActionScript Code:
for ( var x:int; x < _GroupsArray.length; x++) {
//create a container
var tmpGroup:DAILYGroup = _GroupsArray[x];
[Code]....
1. Is there a way that I can get my group object from the target?
2. The container seems to come apart when I drag and drop certain areas. Is there a way to keep the different objects together?

I know I can make an array if all the buttons would have a unified code executable change, i.e. they would become larger and brighter.
My problem is that each button represents an product image in the lights off stage, then of rollover it is a lights on stage so I have to import two images in the on and off stage and play around with the opacity.Additional problem is that each button has to ling to a different label.
My question is: is it possible to unify the code if buttons have that much individuality or I have to make each one of them as in the example below.
// makes a hand cursor appear over a mc acting as a button for all the buttons inside the scrollpnaeBckgrnd_mc.scrollpaneBckgrnd_btns_mc.
MovieClip(mc_pane2.content).scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.scrollpaneBckgrnd_btn s_mc.buttonMode = true;
MovieClip(mc_pane2.content).scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.scrollpaneBckgrnd_btn s_mc.useHandCursor = true;

I need to add a couple menu items to an existing Flash menu that I did not create, but I am having trouble figuring out how to make the buttons stay highlighted until you click another one. Best way to simply describe my problem since is to simple show you. The first 5 links work exactly as they should. But the last 2 (Careers and Client login) do not stay go highlighted on the loaded page. [URL]

I'm making a dropdown menu (first time) and the motion tweens are... well they're being weird. There is not arrow on the frames where the motion tween is. And the drop down menu is not appearing... However, there is definitely a motion tween on those frames, but no motion is occurring...

I'm creating an xml generated gallery/menu, I have the gallery and menu populating fine but my issue arises when I try to make the menu items clickable.
This is inside my populate menu function
_root["mainMenu"+[i]].onRelease = function() {
trace(this);
var splitThis:String = this
var splitThisArray:Array = splitThis.split("Menu");
trace(splitThis)
trace(splitThisArray[1])
};
Now the trace output I get is
_level0.mainMenu1
_level0.mainMenu1
undefined
Although when I set splitThis to "_level0.mainMenu1" manually I get "1" or whatever number comes after "Menu".

I have two PNG images that have text in them as menu items. When clicked, a new XML file is loaded and new set of photos is displaying.Everything works fine, but I want the menu item to be highlighted when hovering the mouse over the item. In other words, so that new image is displayed in place of the old one on MOUSE_OVER, and the old image is back on MOUSE_OUT.
As of now I have two menu items, Portraits and Weddings, movie clips where they are displayed are MenuPortraits and MenuWeddings
I have following properties:
[Code]...
I do see switching of images, but if I leave mouse over - it switches back and forth with high speed. Eventually, when I move mouse out - it can stuck on highlighted state.

A good button should have all the available out, over and down states, and often there are a bunch of nice to haves such as animation, disabled states, filters, you name it. I seem to change my mind in each project I do. The last one, I reskinned and extended the Button Component. The project before I extended SimpleButton Before that I built my own custom class using a Sprite and TweenLite. Then of course you need to work out if you will use library items which is great for laying out on stage, or do everything from scratch using code, which is more powerful but crap for design. I haven't looked at the swc or component route myself.

Building a website for myself and I know a bit of flash but not much. Mostly following tutorials and adapting for my own purposes. Anyway I am building a menu bar, which when you hover over certain items drops down a submenu. I can get the submenu to drop down ok but I cant figure out how to get it to link (jump) to a new frame/scene. I think problem is in function showSubMenu? Flash CS4, AS3
Code:
// SETTINGS
// Make submenu buttons hidden
btn_Set.btn_Set1.visible = false;
btn_Set.btn_Set2.visible = false;
// Add event listeners for main button

I have been working on making a menu for list items. The file below has an animated menu. If you click on Artificial Intelligence on frame 60, it jumps to frame 61 (a specific section for that list item). How do I make the Artificial Intelligence button on frame 61 jump back to frame 60? I dont know where to add the action script for the function. I need to add a similar script to all 9 list items, do they go on one actionscript file? if so what location? [URL]

I created a 3D carousel in CS5. It works wonderfully. For now, I have it set up so that if someone clicks one of the menu items, the output window say "commited suicide after being cyberbullied", what I want to do is either have different text (that shows in the window) for each of the eight menu items when clicked, or 8 different URL links for each of the menu items, when clicked.
