ActionScript 3.0 :: Drop Down Menu Tweening The Menu Gets Stuck, Or Starts Flickering?
Mar 17, 2010
Each time I make a drop down menu I face some problems, For example, when I use tweening to roll out a menu ( via ROLL_OVER/ ROLL_OUT), sometimes the menu gets stuck, or starts flickering after it is rolled out if I move the cursor away, and move back on it.
How could I solve this, should I use a timer to disable the button until the tween finishes (or this would be good for nothing)?
I have a working drop down menu that works when moused over and moused out. The only problem is if you mouse over the other main links the drop menu stays down. So when I mouse over "articles(main link)" the menu drops and I can mouse up and down over the sub menus. When I mouse off the sub menus the menu disappears. Sounds good right.
So the problem comes in when I mouse over "articles(main link)" and then "about(main link)" or other main links the drop menu stays down. I have tried alpha, visible, remove child and many more. I have put a link to my fla

I have created an XML driven Drop Down menu using the kirupa tut by Senocular found here. I am trying to figure out how to get the submenus to push the rest of the main menu down on rollover kind of like this. Not sure where to start to get the AS to get the button created fromt he XML nodes to move down.I haven't changed the code found int he tut too much and the menu works fine except that the rollovers just go over the main menu.

I'm creating an animated (in and out) drop down menu. I've managed to get the menu to open when the user mouses over, with the buttons all selectable. However I can't seem to find an efficient method of making the drop down menu close whenever the mouse is not over the menu. Actions:
I love Senocular's XML-Driven Drop-Down Tutorial. But I can't seem to get it to make the menu headers look different from the submenus.

I have used the sliding menu instructions from this site but seem to be messing it up somewhere despite having done it 8 times now. When i unzip the files, it comes with B1-5, Content 1-5, em and em2, holder and maskMovie. I assume they are for me to use.I think I am doing it all right up until the bit where I cover with a mask over content 1 which is held within the contentHoldDo I use the maskMovie or draw a box in myself?
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 made a simply drop-down menu in MX with an invisible perimeter around the drop-down part that will collapse the menu when rolled over. Most of the time, this works. However, I've noticed that when running the mouse quickly over the button (side to side quickly, for example), the menu will occasionally open but not close, and I have to roll over it again (crossing the perimeter) to collapse it.
i had desined a drop down menu for a html page in flash. It reads the menu items from a XML file and extends itself.Now the things is what height and width should i set for it. If i set the height of the menu, in the html file the dropped menus are not displayed.
any Action Script tutorials to activate the menu and sub menu found here:currently the drop down menu is part of the "over" frame of the button.this flash project will function only as a menu for an HTML site (probably using HTML frames). I am brand new to action script but have experience with basic key frame animation.

I have a vertical dropdown menu created in Flash linking to an XML file. Each of my submenus needs to link to a document within my website. I am using a getURL command in flash to link to my page but when I put the page name into the xml file it isn't working correctly. eg, when I click on the sub menu button the URL address for the page should be [URL]. It is coming up as [URL]. If I correct the URL the page is there but how do I program flash to bring up the correct URL.
I have a made menu bar with effects and everything. The menu bar height is about 60px, and it must stay that way. But one of the menu options, needs a on ROLL_OVER effect that will open like five other options underneath the menu. My problem is that I am embeding this menubar into HTML, so I need it to stay 60px, and the vertical dropdown menu must appear over it, and have its own effect... Any Ideas? I am thinking that I need something that will either extend the width of my flash stage size, or maybe some code that will open a whole separate swf and i can position it properly.
