ActionScript 3.0 :: Composite Menu - Submenu Not Disappearing On Mouseout

Jan 3, 2011

I'm creating a menu from XML. It will be able to traverse over the XML recursively (so n-levels deep). The menu itself is a composite -- each node in the menu, either a menuList or menuItem, is a menuComponent. menuComponent is more-or-less an abstract class so they all inherit and override a draw() function. If the object is a menuList, then it has a Sprite container to hold all of it's children. I did this so it would be easy to add and remove all of it's children by just adding and removing a container that holds all of them.

The issue I'm having is with the event listeners. I am adding a mouse_over event to a button. The button is within a Sprite container. When I mouse over the button, I'm adding the submenu into the buttons container. The problem comes when I mouse out of the button. I've gotten the submenu to stay but not disappear on mouse_out OR it appears when I'm over the button but disappears as soon as I exit it. I THOUGHT if I attach the mouse_out listener to the container, it would work because the container should expand when I add the submenu into it.

ActionScript Code:
package as3 {
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.ErrorEvent;
import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Menu And Submenu Highlighting?

Nov 25, 2009

How can I make sure a menu button name appears in a different colour when it is selected and stays that colour until the user navigates to another page?Example: My menu buttons have a dark brown font. I have changed the font colour to red on the 'down' state of the button setting. This means the users clicks on a menu, e.g. Gallery and the Gallery button turns red briefly. However, it doesn't stay red which is what I want.

ActionScript 2.0 :: XML / Flash Menu Placement Of Submenu

Jun 14, 2004

I've been using sen's flash/xml drop-down menu tutorial, and I have been able to create the following for (mt):url...If you rollover the first item, you will notice that the submenu loads to the right side. What I would like to have is something similar to the following attached image. Also, the code I am using can be found in the attached FLA.I know how to make the menu appear directly below the parent node, but the problem is that I am unable to shift the menu items down so that the menu items don't overlap over the existing menu items. You can see an example of what I am trying to do in the attached image.Does anybody have any insight on how to accomplish that. I tried finding the name of each movie clip and shifting them downward, but it seems that none of the movie clip names correlate to the actual menu item - therefore, I am unable to shift them downwards in order to make a space for them.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Menu/submenu Managing And Event Listening?

Dec 17, 2010

I'm creating a flashwebsite and I've got a problem with submenu appearing/disappering. What is extremely easy in html/jquery is taking me overburned in actiuonscript: make appear a submenu only when the mouse cursor is over its button and not over itself. Indeed I've my button/MC, that contains its submenu (which is a vertical list of MC), and when I go over it, submenu appears, when I leave, sub menu becomes invisible.
BUT, when I go over the space under the button (where my invisible submenu is), submenu become visible another time. I know that cause is the listener associated to the main button is linked to all its nested MC.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Make Submenu Design Different To Main Menu?

Mar 7, 2007

url...I don't really know actionscript and I have two issues.Firstly, and most importantly, how can I make the submenu design different to the main menu? Specifically, I need the submenu items to have different y spacing, width, font heights & background. No probs doing a separate movieclip, but how do I assign a certain movieclip depending on whether it's a main menu or submenu item? Secondly, when the cursor moves off the movie, the last open submenu stays open! This happens in this site's example as well. It only closes when the cursor hits another main menu.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Click In One Element From The Main Menu And It Creates His Own Submenu

Nov 14, 2009

I'm trying to develope a simple elastic menu in AS3 but I have several problems because is difficult understand OOP when I come from AS2. I have a class named "menu" to create a vertical menu with n elements using a MovieClip from the library. It is linked properly as "base_primaria" and with MovieClip class as base class. Every element in the menu is in button mode and when is clicked calls a method (crearsub) to create a submenu.

I have another class named "submenu" that creates a submenu with n elements using a MovieClip from the library. It is linked properly as "base_secundaria" and with MovieClip class as base class. All the elements in the main menu must be relocated depending on the .y position and their .height. For that I'm using a method inside "menu" class named "posicionar". To animate the elements I use TweenLite. The first problem is I want to relocate all the elements through TweenLite and it is not working. Probably the "posicionar" function is wrong. The second problem is I want to click in one element from the main menu and it creates his own submenu. If there is one element with a submenu created, it must to disapear. All the elements must to relocate in real time in every click. Here the "menu" class code:

ActionScript 1/2 :: Menu Buttons Not Disappearing?

May 29, 2009

I have knowledge of HTML but this is my first flash project, and I think I'm way over my head. I followed a tutorial explaining how to make menu buttons and I realized that the actionscript for a drop down menu should work for what I'm trying to do.  So I finally have everything the way I want it but I'm pretty sure I have a bit of wasted code in there.  Now, my issue is when I play my flash and move my mouse really fast over the flash object sometimes two menu buttons appear. I'm sure it is because of the ._alpha > 0 code I'm using but I dont know another way around it. If you have any advice PLEASE share!! Here is a link to the swf file...http:[url]....
 
This is the code (for two buttons) I use to make something disappear when I RollOver another button:
 
calplate_btn.onRollOver = function () { if(scan_large._x > startX) {  myTweenB.stop();  myTween2.stop();  scan_large.enabled = false  scan_large._alpha = 0  scan_large._x = startX }  if(scan_large._alpha > 0 ) {  myTweenB.stop();  myTween2.stop();  scan_large.enabled = false  scan_large._alpha = 0  scan_large._x = startX }[code].......

Actionscript 3 :: Flex 3 Event Propagation On A Composite Custom Component?

Jul 24, 2009

I have a custom component made up of a selectable control (radio button)and a text input. I want to perform some logic in response to the change events from both of those controls, but after that I want anything that is registered on the composite component's change handler to have a change to handle the events as well. The problem is, when I re-dispatch the events the event target has changed to my custom component, losing the originating event's target.

Here's my custom component:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:HBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" label="{listItem.@text}" data="{listItem.@level.toString()}">
<mx:Script>

[code].....

In the event handler that receives change events from this component, I see that event.target is an instance of SpecifyRadioButton, not the TextInput or RadioButton, as I'd expect. How should I propagate the event to get what I want here?

Getting event [Event type="change" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Opensource Composite Framework To Develop Flash Games

Nov 20, 2010

We have been working on an opensource composite framework for developing flash games. We have been testing design concepts and we want to share our experience with the flash community. The goal: Develop a well designed framework that is simple to use.

So far:
1. GameObjects are autonomous. You can attach components such as RenderComponents or ScriptComponents to drive its behavior.
2. The SFS examples have been broken down into different components that can later be extended for your needs.
3. ExtensionMessages are routed to a global event handle that can be handled by the game objects.

The networking layer still needs a lot of work. The next thing on my list is to change the login handler component so that it can be extended with facebook, user/pass or etc components. I am also working on a Dependency Injection system that handles autowiring. Now that I have a new build system in I will be able to reintroduce that. You can have a look here: [URL]

Flex :: Composite MXML Component - Display File Info On Single Line

Aug 31, 2009

I'm trying componentize one of the pieces of UI in an AIR application that I'm developing in Flex. In this example, I want to display file information on a single line (which has an icon, some text/link and the size).

My code looks like this (component is called FileDisplay):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="[URL]"><mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function set iconType(source:String):void {
this.ficon.source = source;
[Code] .....

However, when I do this, I get an error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. This is because the child components of the FileDisplay are null (or at least they show up that way in the debugger). Am I supposed to be waiting for events indicating the child components were created? For now I can manually do everything in ActionScript in my main app (create a Canvas and add children to it) but how to separate the code more cleanly.
