I'm trying to get a slider to display a number in a Dynamic text field as it is dragged. I think this is the only time I can say it would be easier in AS3!
Sooo, I made the slider and the code to move it, but I cant get the number to pass into it. My trace command fires but I get some static numbers in the text box. I'm just so confused, is it my var, or the math operator, or just syntax?
code as I screwed it up ....
on (press) {
startDrag("", false, 0, 0, 200, 0);
var xmin : Number = min(0);

i have a problem with my flash menu. It's simple menu that contains one MC at start that works as button, u can edit size of the menu from external .txt file by changing the value of menu length. All that works fine , my problem is that every new duplicated mc contains dynamic text area as a label. Labels are also loaded from that .txt file , but that works only for the 1st mc because the newly created text areas in mc's dont have Instance Name set. How can i assign them from as?

Link to site: [URL] I've been trying to create a flash website menu that updates the menu text via an xml file. The problem I'm experiencing is that when I update the dynamic text in the menu, it doesn't seem to go through. I know I am referencing the dynamic text correctly as when I run the swf for the first time, I briefly see the correct text for about half-a-second before it is replaced by the default dynamic text. There is something that is overwriting the new text with the default values but I cannot see what is causing it.
I am changing the dynamic menu text in _root although the dynamic text exists in nested movie clips i.e. '_main.menu_mc.menu_panel_1.menu_button_1_1.menu_b utton_text'.

I developed a simple slide menu, I create an animation of the menu (I grouped the buttons).All works fine, but when I try to use dynamic text to put the options using actionscript the text does not show.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a menu system and I've created a "Button" with a dynamic text field on it. I'd like to set the text of the button when I add it to the stage but I'm having some troubles. Does this work differently then a dynamic text field on a movie clip? I've done it successfully on a movie clip.
var test; test = new menu_item();
stage.addChild(test); test.x = 610; test.y = 100;
test.menuText.text = "Hello World";
I get this error message in my output window...

I have managed to get data out from Mysql database. All it returns to me are:
1) Name of the button
2) Where it link to
3) Number of Buttons for the menu
So now, how can I build a menu of buttons such that I can display according to the database return on the number of buttons? I have already create a movieclip which is the image of a single button. With dynamic text on top of the button in the movieclip.
I just need to loop it thru the number of buttons and display the buttons on screen. But I can't seems to get it right. I have looked through the XML dynamic menu but it's not very similar to mine as I'm using PHP script to connect to the database.
I'm a Flash MX action scripting newbie. I'm trying to create a dynamic drop down menu system that reads a text file to create the items listed in the menu. I've been reading tutorials and trying to break down source fla files to understand how things work. I'm stuck on what the following block of code means.Would it be possible for someone to break down the following code for me? It references menudata.txt to create the drop down menu. I can successfully modify menu.data.txt to create more menus and change the titles in each button, but creating sub-nav is totally kicking me in the arse.
The code follows:
item_spacing = 18;
x = 1;

I have been using senocular's excellent 'squirrel finder' tutorial try and create a fairly simple xml-fed flash interface. Basically, i need to have a list of architectural projects in a menu, and when each one is clicked the project info is loaded into a dynamic text field and a series of maybe 2 or 3 images are also sent to movie clips on the stageThis is my xml file:

I have a menu like the one here. I need some of the menus to be 2 lines and others single line.Basically, the menu is set to use dynamic text with multiple lines and word wrap inside a movie clip. So far, I can either get it to do single or double lines of menu, but not both
View 4 RepliesI am doing a dynamical menu they are scroll, with links, I am using as function. If I call an external swf:
function cargaranimacion(animacion){
loadMovieNum(animacion,0)

In the text:
<a href='asfunction:cargaranimacion, "proceso_novolen.swf">PROCESO NOVOLEN</a>
<a href='asfunction:cargaranimacion, "polimerizacion_estructura.swf">POLIMERIZACION Y ESTRUCTURA</a>
And if I am inside a swf, call a label:
function cargaranimacion(animacion) {
gotoAndPlay(animacion);
}
That is ok... But, How I do to accede to a specific label of an external swf?? I want that it loads the animation and begin to it turns from the label that I indicate.

View 0 RepliesI need exact tutor for this kind of menu but instead of static text I want to incorporate a dynamic text with a scroll bar for each menu section.
P.S i found this file in flash kit.com but it doesn't explain anything.
Question regarding the tuturial:[URL]
change the width of the dynamic text field that each text nav item from the xml loads into so that the width changes depending on what is in the xml.
So the width of the button would change depending on the ammount of characters entered.

View 1 RepliesAnyway, I'm trying to make a slider menu like this. I don't need the the XML aspect. I just want to know how to make the slider slide to a specific space when I click on it.I searched Google extensively for tutorials on how to tween and tutorials on how to make a slider menu, but could not find what I was looking for. All the tween tutorials just showed how to tween from one space to another, and all the slider menu FLA's I downloaded were completely different than what I am looking for.
View 6 RepliesI am trying to save time by opening the source file and changing it to support my pictures/etc. instead of starting from scratch. So my question is: How do I create more than 4 buttons?

I think the problem is when I create a new button, in this case, button 5, it does not carry over to be a subdirectory under the Scene 1 > Actions things on the bottom left... I've tried converting a rectangle on the buttons layer to a button symbol, and adding the appropriate code to it, but to no avail.. When I Ctrl+Enter to preview it, the slider moves 4 spaces but when I hover over the newly created 5th button the slider just moves back to

View 0 RepliesI am trying to make a menu that has a "slider" arrow at the top that points to the current button that you clicked. Right now I just have it so that if you click a button it changes the x position of the arrow movie clip to go over a certain button. I would like to create the effect where it moves slower to the different buttons and then it "springs" back and forth over the button getting closer and closer until it finally stops.
I have tried using some formulas that I found on the web, but I can't get the button to control the motion of the movie.[URL]
When I load a .swf into a target movie that I have on my main page, it is all wrong, the slider menu that I have loading into the target movie, does not stay inside target and it seems to reposition the slider menu to the x psotion of my main movie How can I fix this, so the slider menu in the swf stays inside the target movie when loaded?
FLA file is too large to attach, if needed I can attach it in pieces.
