ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Build A Simple Little Menu Bar
Jun 30, 2009
I'm having a small problem trying to build a simple little Menu Bar. I'm trying to make it so that if I click on one button (Movie Clip) it will make it look different, and then if I click on a DIFferent button (Movie Clip) it will make the old one normal, and the new one look like it is selected.
I tried doing so by creating a function that checked what page I'm currently in, and changed the look of the MCs accordingly, but when I run it, I keep getting the following error[code]...

Here is the code
Code: Select allimport fl.transitions.Tween;

I am following an online tutorial to build a horizontal menu bar in AS3. In the tut, they are using MovieClips, but for what I want to achieve I am using buttons.
Here is their code.
Select allfunction navOverF(event:MouseEvent):void{
event.target.filters = [navBtnGlow];
navBar_mc.setChildIndex(event.target as MovieClip, 1);
dropMenus_mc.gotoAndStop(navBar_mc.getChildAt(1).name);
trace("We are rolling over..." + navBar_mc.getChildAt(1).name);
}
I have worked out that the issue is in line three "(event.target as MovieClip, 1)", but how do I change this code to work with buttons?

I'm trying to build an animated menu with seven buttons, 3 of which need a submenu. I have 4 regular buttons and 3 mc's on the main timeline. After creating the first mc with 6 submenu items that appear onRollover and trying to target the submenu buttons to open a new page nothing happens when I click on the button. I attached this code to the submenu button while it in the "Over":
Code:
on (release) {
this.skiMenu_mc.skMain_btn.getURL("ski/sk_main.htm", "_self");
}
Here's the complete fla file if you're interested. I'm using Flash MX 2004.

I have some code to build a menu dynamically from an xml file.
Code:
var myXML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.onLoad = function(success) {
[Code]....
Which works fine, pulls in the attributes, label, colour and so on and builds the menu. However it hapens all at once as the for loop executes, how would I insert a pause so that the menu appears to build over time?

I just signed up and am fairly new to flash so I hope I'm posting in the right spot. 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've just started learning as3 and I've been trying to find a good tutorial on dropdown menu's using just xml and as3. Most of what I've come across so far are either static menus or menus driven with heavy use of the timeline. Is it even possible to build a nice fluid drop down menu completely in code?

Im trying to write a function that will build a menu based upon the vars that I passed it to. This is a simpler version on the code.(The library has a MC/Btn symbol with the linkage "btn");
Code:
function bulidMenu(nItems:Number) {
var menuMCx:Number = 100;
var menuMCy:Number = 100;
[code]...
Why do I get an output of 4 on every clicked button, instead of 0,1,2,3 ? I tryed forwarding the " i " to the onRelease = function(i) {} and then in it declaring a new var and assigning it the passed " i ", but that doesn't work either :/

I've been working for a week on a very important task and learning (with Moock's book beside me) as I go. I'm trying to build a menu layout that functions a lot like an iGoogle page. Is this just a matter of a lack of syntax knowledge on my part or is this not possible? I can't find any examples of anything even close. I'm not sure which answer I'd prefer, but I'll take any insight that someone with more knowlege than me could offer

I'm having trouble creating a simple menu that you navigate with keys, rather than just a bunch of buttons you navigate with the mouse. What I want is a nice, easy way to make menus, where you have 1 item selected, and you can navigate around to the others with the keyboard.You need to be able to move up, down, left and right. If you go too far over, it returns you to the other side. know this should be really simple, but I can't seem to be able to create a simple function that will work for this. I have tried a bunch of nonsense, but I figure there's probably an easy way that everyone uses. Unfortunatly, whenever you search "menu" in any flash tutorial site, it brings up a bunch of tutorials on button menus.

im trying to create a simple drop down menu. this is the code I have typed out so far.
menu_mc.visible = false;
nav_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, buttonHandler);
function buttonHandler (evt)
{
[code]....
What I am trying to acheive is that when the mouse rolls off the button, the menu disappears, the same when the mouse rolls of the menu, the sticking point is the rolling off the button to make the menu disappear.

I'm having a bit of trouble getting a button in a hoover over drop down menu to link to another scene in the .swf movie. I just doing a basic drop down menu (example here: [URL] with a couple of buttons with in a movie clip, the movie clip being the "button" someone hoovers over. The buttons however are not going to the corrisponding scene I have them set up to. What's strange is that if I set in the buttons action panel to go to an url instead of a scene, in the .swf movie the button works when I click it...it wants to go the specificed url. Nothing happens when it's set to go to a scene.

The website has 5 main-menu items called : Home / Speellijst / Van toen tot nu / media / contact / . a preview of the project can be visited here : [URL]
So when someone clicks "Van toen tot nu" (= an item about her past theatre plays), it displays a new menu that holds chronological buttons. Once someone cliks one of those, an extra element should show that displays info.
So in the element holding all the buttons on frame one AS says:
robbieknop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,robtx t);
function robtxt(event:MouseEvent):void
{
root.toenclip.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
EXTA INFO:
* the 1st button has the instance name : 'robbieknop'
* a clip that holds the info on each frame seperatly has the name : 'toenclip'
* 'toenclip' has an empty 1st frame, the 2nd holds the info that should display while pushing the instance 'robbieknop'
* 'toenclip' is present on stage when 'van Toen tot nu' has been loaded, it is invisible (empty frame)
So far I can't get it to work, I don't get any error messages and everything else displays 'according to plan'

How do you code simple buttons and complex buttons that show they are on or have been activated? I want my interface to be able to tell my users that they are in a specific area by highlighting the button on my menus. (Just like the navigation menu for [URL]).

just wondering why this isn't working :
Code:
var nav:Boolean = true;
var element:String = "home"; [code]....
Its so that a menu will move right across the screen if the variable is true, and if its false, it'll move left back to its original position.... i achieved this using a motion tween and telling the mc to go to the frame and play, but that didn't work in the end because if the menu bar was on the left side, and it was told to move to the left, then it would disappear,and appear on the other side.... so in other words it screwed up

In TFS 2010 build, I have a new build and I want to call an ant script that builds Flash. How do I call the ant script? Also How can I compile the Flash directly? I've seen the Power Tools and this question but it doesn't help me as we don't have TFS 2008. I can't find any documentation on how to use the power tools except the 1 sentence on the bottom of download page saying to create your build the old way and import it (which isn't very helpful). I've installed the power tools on the agent computer but I don't see any new options in the Toolbox when I'm designing the build flow.
