View 2 RepliesI'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 am attempting to revamp a website. The buttons that are currently being used are only gifs that are hyperlinked and there are almost 12 buttons... I think that this is a ridiculous amount of buttons to have. It looks very cluttered. So, I figured I should make 6 buttons and just fit the rest of the buttons into subcategorized buttons. And the way to do this is to create flash buttons with drop down menus. To see what I mean, go to this link and look at their buttons:
[URL]
Their buttons drop down into menus with sub-categories. I want to do this.
So far, I have gone into flash, created buttons and made graphics for the "Up" "Over" "Down" and "Hit". I have also added the menu buttons and graphics for the "Over" of each drop-down button-menu.
I have even provided the action script to link each button to where I need it to go.
HOWEVER, here is where the problem is. When I roll the mouse over the button, and then move the mouse down to click on one of the buttons in the drop down menu, the menu disappears, OF COURSE, because the mouse goes off the hit. I can't make the hit bigger, because the menu shouldn't open unless it's on the main button. But without the hit being bigger, the menu will always disappear.
IN ADDITION, I've never used flash buttons on a website before. I'm just using HTML. How do I link the button to the page? Do I save the file as a .swf flash file? And link to 6 different files? Or do I save the buttons in a line, and just use one link?
I made a drop down menu with sub menus. It is a movie clip. When I drag my movie clip menu to the main timeline I don't know how to make the buttons manipulate the main timeline. Like going to a certain frame. Everytime I put code on the movie clip, it manipulates the movie clip itself. Is there a trick to this?
View 1 Repliesim having trouble making the buttons within my drop down menu active.basically, on the main timeline, i have a movieclip, and within it have a button that once u roll over it, will go to another instance in that timeline to display a drop down menu located below it (with buttons). these buttons do not perform any actions to the main timeline regardless where i place the actionscript or how i point to those buttons.

Here is my Frankenstein code...i just need it working. Error happens when I remove the numOfKeys-- where I examine the level. Had to remove some code because of length when posting here on FK.
i added a display object like so:
var backButton:BtnSMenu = new BtnSMenu();
backButton.name = "backButton";
mainHolder.parent.parent.parent.addChild(backButton);
but then later in the code i want to remove the child so i did this:
mainHolder.parent.parent.parent.removeChild(getChildByName("backButton"));
but i get this error:TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.

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.
View 1 RepliesCan somebody take a look at my .fla file and tell me why exactly my menu is not dropping down at all?If you download my file go to scene 3. that is where my Navigation Bar is.URL...
View 1 Repliesive followed Senoculars drop-down menu tute [URL], awsome stuff, but it seems the submenu's dont disappear to well when you roll out. ..They only disappear if you click on another menu item or when you click outside the menu.
View 12 RepliesEach 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 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 am just learning ActionScript3 and am trying to create a fla file that loads 3 external SWF. I have already created and saved the 3 SWFs and they are all saved in the same folder. I have given them the names "A.swf" "B.swf" and "C.swf" so they are easy for me to keep track of. I created the actionscript below and placed it in the first frame of my parent file which is saved in the same folder.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
var swfContainer:MovieClip;
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
[Code] .....
When I insert the filename in the URLRequest statement "A.swf" and test the movie it works loading the swf movie and playing it. When I swap either the "B.swf" or "C.swf" file names in the place of the "A.swf" it doesn't work. I end up with no swf file loaded or played on the stage. I also get the following error statement. But I am confused because it is in the Output Tab not the Error Tab which does not report any errors.
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.

Although I shouldn't be too surprised as it is written for use with CS.3 and I am using CS.5. Eventually my goal is to create one fla file which loads and plays in succession the three separate swf files in one package.

I am doing a project in which I need to open and close MovieClips. I have my Scene1 which loads the first MC (named "page1") then page1 plays and I would like it to unload itself and load the MC named "Page2" and so on up to page 10 ...
On the last frame of the MC "page1" I have this code:
stop();
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, animate2);
function animate2 (event:MouseEvent):void {
stage.removeChild(stage.getChildByName("clip1"));
var clip2:MovieClip = new page2();
addChild (clip2);
}
But all I get is this error message:

I am working on a fairly simple drag and drop based Flash piece and I have come across an Output Error which I was hoping somebody could give me a better understanding of.As a very brief back-story to my problem, I have two borders on both the far left and right of my movie and the alpha is set to 0 on both of these MovieClips; now I have labels within the movie and I am using the hitTestObject command with an IF statement stating that should the label_mc hit either border1_mc or border2_mc on Mouse Move then execute some code; my problem is that in my Output panel I have now received the error:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter hitTestObject must be non-null.
I am not sure about this particular error and would be interested if anybody had any ideas on a fix or solution as I want to understand what is going on with this; I read around some forums which said that when you use hitTestObject the console is listening out for the intersect and that if you move on to different labels later in the movie if the MovieClips you intend to hit aren't present throughout the piece it may cause this error (but I might and probably am wrong).
I need a tutorial for a hierarchical drop down menu system that drops down 3 sub levels. Do I make the items in the sub menus individual buttons and then insert them into a movie clip or make every sub menu item a movie clip and insert them into buttons?
