ActionScript 3.0 :: Clear XML Menu To Load Another?
Jul 5, 2009
I have a menu that is populated by XML, I'd like to know how I can clear that menu to load another one in it's place.
I can get the other menu to load but it's adding itself to the previously generated menu:
so let's say I have an XML document that has <menuItem> nodes that have nodes within them named [this is the default menu][code]...
how can i clear the XML or for loop that created the buttons so that the newly loaded menu from the newly loaded xml is the only menu that is displayed and not tacked on to the existing menu?

I have a menu and each button reveals a hidden layer which includes it's submenu (another swf).The submenus have sub-submenus in the same swf.When I take the mouse away from these layers the submenus hide again.All these work.The problem is that when a sub-submenu is opened and then the layer hides, when it's shown again the sub-submenu is still opened.Is there a way to clear memory or unload a swf file through html or through the main menu swf?

I'm working on a game whose background has many layers that each scroll at different speeds.
Inside each layer I have a Sprite, I've started using graphics.beginBitmapFill, but what I've found is that the graphics.clear() function doesn't actually clear the contents set by the previous call to graphics.begin.BitmapFill. Each frame, I adjust the matrix to shift the layer as needed. Then, I call graphics.clear() and graphics.beginBitmapFill() with the adjusted matrix. Since my layers have alphas in the bitmap, I can see the contents that was drawn the previous frame.

I have a swf with four frames. The first frame loads an external class that acts as traffic controller - looks at the root flashvars being passed in and redirects to frame 2, 3, or 4.
Frame 2 is a basic login screen. There's 5 layers - 2 background layers, the login screen, and a dummy text field. I also have trace statements on every layer, which I have speaking with javascript and writing out to the Firebug console. Since the swf requires database access to know what to do, it only works on a server.
The issue I'm having is that, occasionally, not all the layers on frame 2 load. All the actionscript on every layer fires successfully. What I'll do is clear my cache, and roughly 1 out of every 3 times, the only layer that's loaded is the bottom layer, or the bottom two layers.
I've removed the login movie clip and replaced it with dummy text - nothing. I put a preloader on the first frame - nothing. I created a loader swf to, in turn, load this problematic swf - nothing. I thought it might have something to do with order of rendering so I made those bottom layers semi-transparent - nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to further diagnose this problem? While it's intermittent, it happens often enough to demand a fix.

I am trying to make a menu that loads external swf's into my current movie. Here is the code that I have, which does what I want, except the buttons only work in order... you can't click the last one first, for example... They only work in the order in which the button variables are scripted...
import fl.controls.Button;
var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();addChild(my_loader);
var about_btn:Button = new Button();about_btn.label="ABOUT";about_btn.x=50;
[Code]....
I have been looking at so many snipets and such.. and whats with all the brackets at the end... I kept adding them until it wasn't expecting right bracket at end of program anymore. Like I said, it works but you have to click "about" first and so on down the list, once through, then what ever order after you have loaded them all once.

i'm using hga77's xml menu you can view here.ok, so i'm trying to load swfs from the menu, what i've got so far is:
Code:
function executeAction()
{
loadMovie("NEWS.swf", _root.content);
trace(NEWS.swf);
[code]....
but the menu stops working. is there anything i can stick in this bit "function executeAction()" that will make the loadmovie load a different swf each time, rather than creating loads of loadmovie functions.

I have created this site with a expanding / collapsin menu. When a user selects a menu e.g. "hammers" then the menu is loaded and show the submenues. When the users closes the menu by moving the mouse away from the area the menu collapses. If the user expands the menu again the menu should have remember the last visit menu and show the menu.

I'm making a loader.swf to load a menu.swf file. I'm done this dozens of times the same way and it has worked perfect. But this time...when I load my menu and trace it out, the loader keeps loading and reloading the menu.swf infinitley and I don't know why.
The only thing I've discovered is that my menu.swf file will load just fine IF I delete all of the actionscript from it. If there is even a comment in there the infinite loop starts again.

I've used the so-called "Barney's Slide Menu" for some websites I've built. eg: www.mediashox.com
As some of you may know, this is built in AS1. I'd like to load an xml slideshow into this menu [which is on level0, of course]. But it seems all xml slideshows are built in AS2 or later.
Is there any way I can load an xml slideshow into this Barney's menu? Are all xml driven flash movies AS2 or later?

currently, I have a XML menu. I followed the tutorial from here: [URL]. It needs more work and tweaking, but that's for later. The menu.swf is from an external SWF and it's loaded into my index.swf using the loader.My question is how can I have the menu load different external SWFs, in other words, different part of the website. Do I create another loader in the index.swf for loading the website's content? Can I use the existing XML file for the loading the SWFs?
Here are the codes I have so far:
Index.swf
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

i need to load a series of variables into a menu. seems easy, i've done many times. the thing is, i have to get them from an asp who asks for a parameter.So i tried this:
loadVariables("/medidores/txtflash.asp?pkey=c0321733a51ffa323f", 0, "GET");
but this not seems to work. So, i tried this instead:
send_data = new LoadVars();
send_data.pkey=c0321733a51e82fadc8b3f081ffa323f;
trace(send_data.pkey);
send_data.sendAndLoad("medidores/txtflash.asp", get_data, "POST");
does flash actually stores whatever is in txtflash.asp into "get_data"?
