ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Indented Menu Item And Click On It?
Aug 14, 2009
I have a menu system with 2 parts not connecting. I can't figure out how to write the code to make them work.
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.
1. I want to have one menu title flush left, then be able to add a submenu title indented with a different style to that same list. I have the listItem linking to an AS3.0 file now. I've got the main list working but not an indented submenu. How do I add that?
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]...
ive followed Senoculars drop-down menu tute [URL], awsome stuff, but it seems the submenu's dont disappear to well when you roll out. ..They only disappear if you click on another menu item or when you click outside the menu.
i wanted to place some credits item in the right button menu (no links, so no events, just a label with credits). i was looking the contextmenu help, and there is an example of how to add items, disable default items and so on, but i could not find how to attach the menu to the movie (the basic part). i tried both on 'stage' and it tells me that stage does not have a property called contextMenu, so i tried to attach it to a sprite, it runs ok and compiles ok but when i right click on the sprite i get the default menu
var _menu_item:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("here goes [code].....
I have an array for my menu and submenus.It works fine, but I have to click again on the menu to close it.When it's open it's completly open it takes too much space.how I could make a menu close when I click on another menu item..this is the code on the frame on my main timeline:
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:
Settings Global Settings About Flash Player 10
But directly above is a separate menu item that says "Made by JWD" and that takes you to a different website if you click it. I have the .fla file for the gallery - can I remove this menu item?
I'm having a major brain fog right now...I'm trying to add a click event for each menu item that is loaded from an XML file.
See code below:
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void { xml = XML(event.target.data); xmlList = xml.children();
[Code].....
So basically everytime a click event occurs on a menu item, the related url from the xml file will be called. However the trace(imgURL) only shows the last item loaded from the XML file which makes sense.
I just can't see how to modify the code so the unique url is associated with each unique menu item click event.
How do I create a cool effect where when I click on a menu item, the layout chages size according to the size of the content on the page.URL...How did he do it? Actionscript or just transitions?
I'm trying to get the menu width of a menu item in flex 4. I can get it but I have to show the menu first, then hide the menu, do a calculation, and show it again. Is there an easier way to get the item menu width without this hassle?
i want to add new Menu in flash IDE and i want to add inside the adobe flash menu. How i can add new menu in menubar and new menu item inside the help menu. is it possible to do this things if yes then which language i have to use for this. what is way to start development and what is the .MXP file and how to create this .MXP file.
Basically, I have a button and on click it displays a menu. I want to click that menu a second time and the menu closes. Currently, every time you click the button, the menu reopens. I pasted the Flex livedoc example below. If you click the button, the menu keeps reopening.Now, I rigged it up by setting a var to open and closed, so when clicking the button it does a check. However, if you click away from the screen, the HIDE event gets dispatched, and the menu closes. This messed up the open close var being set.
How could I make this Flex example below show the menu on button click, and then on a second button click, it closes the menu? Take into affect that if you click away from the menu, it closes it.Also, I played around with the MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE event for the button and set the preventDefault, and the FlexMouseEvent event.cancelable is set to false.Changing to a PopUpMenuButton is not an option. I have to much skinning involved.Here is the Flex example:
<mx:Script> <![CDATA[ // Import the Menu control. import mx.controls.Menu;
I have made a drop down menu with 7 items but as the invisible bottun around each item interferes with the item besid it, when i try to roll the mouse from one item to another, the invisible bottum dont work and the dropdown remains open.
i have AS2 coded menu it's working xml but i can add 11 categories.if i add menu item show page out...i want menu item 11 later menu 12 menu 13 in bottom. sorry my english i add flash file and screen
i created an application and it has a menu bar at the top of the stage it also has a loader component below it. i need the loader to load an swf when an item is selected from the menu. Does anybody know how to code this. I am using the following code:
i need to fire separate method for individual menu item clicked ,so that individual item can handle separate method.and i need know what all the properties are available in menu item like type="radio".
I need a tutorial for a hierarchical drop down menu system that drops down 3 sub levels. Do I make the items in the sub menus individual buttons and then insert them into a movie clip or make every sub menu item a movie clip and insert them into buttons?
The menu is like this http:[url]... (the site is in portuguese but it doesnt matter), when I click in on menu the actual menu does an alpha to 0 and the next menu appears using the alpha from 0 to 100 (and some animations like the cellphone going up).Now, how can I do a menu like that, whatever the menu I choose, it does that alpha animation ?
how do I stop the preloader to LOAD an item when I click in another item to load.. Is that possible? Here in my example the preloader runs perfect, but when I start another mouseevent CLICK the old loading still active (on BANDWIDTH PROFILER, but the Preloader Movie Clip is removed).. How Do I stop the event when another different loading starts?Not visual aspect but functional.
I've got a drop down menu. I want to click a tab to make it drop then, if it's open, click it again to close. I've tried a million variations on the script below:
var btn_grp1:String function main1Down(event:MouseEvent):void { if (btn_grp1 != "dwn") {
[Code]....
This works too (once). So the drop down buttons all disapear again, but it won't re-set. The drop down menu stays up from then on.
BTW i'm not set on this method, it just seemed the most obvious i.e. if menu hidden, then show it, set some variable to down (showing), else hide the menu, set var to up (hidden). Not working though.
I have a menubar as such: Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <root> <node label="Road"> <node label="Madone"> <node label="Madone 4.5"/> <node label="Madone 4.5 WSD"/> [Code] .....
When I click on a menuitem, I wish to print out the selected item, but in the form of (for example if I were to click Madone 4.5) "Road > Madone > Madone 4.5".
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.
I 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
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!
I found this script but it doesn't work. My buttons are not in a movieclip, and the instance names are but1-6.[code]The script is on a new layer called actions. Can anyone tell me why this script has NO effect whatsoever?
