I have an AJAX.net drop menu and a flash intro with 4 swf files that's being called externally using Bulkloader. The drop menu works fine by itself and the flash works fine by itself. But when the two are put together, the animation on the .swf files are causing the drop menu to lag A LOT. The 2nd child item from the drop menu doesn't smoothly drop until the animation is completely done.
View 0 RepliesIn terms of HTTP request performance should I pick AJAX or Flash? To be more specific, I'm more into Flash than AJAX and I'm currently working on a wide scale web project. I wanted to try AJAX out for once and now it's getting too messy for me. Before it gets more complicated I thought may be I can run Flash on the background for HTTP Requests and use it with javascript. I couldn't find any benchmark on the Internet, but I think AJAX is faster than Flash. So what's your personal experience? Is there too much difference between Flash and AJAX?
View 4 RepliesI have problems with facebook application based on flash which communicate with PHP using FBJS-bridge.When someone use the application for the first time, he/she is asked for various permissions. After that, flash contact PHP with ajax but request is never sent. When you refresh page, everything is working without any problems.If you remove the application on privacy settings, refresh the page and try again -same bug happens.If you allow application, refresh page, in other tab remove application and start application in previous tab - user is asked for permissions but everything is working after allowing application.This is FBJS code
function openPermissions(){
Facebook.showPermissionDialog(/*permissions string*/, permissionOnDone);[code]......
openPermissions is called to display permission dialog, and on allow flash function allow() is called. In flash, allow() calls JS function ajaxCall(), which should make ajax request. But, ajax.post never sends request. I know that for sure, because flash function parseAjax was never called and also debugging tools in browsers are not showing any ajax requests. URL and parameters are same as when it is working. No flash or JS errors are detected...

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.

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)?

HOW do I go about doing it?Ive tried...buttonon "over" create to movie clipinside movie clip have my animations and sublink buttonsit works fine, but there's one problem, The hit area of the main button HAS to cover the hidden sublinks, so even if you scrolled your mouse over the bottom of the button (in the invisible area) it will still show since its in the hit area).How can I create a simple nav drop down? I seriously have went through almost all tutorials, both video and text, and nothing has worked! I am using Actionscript 3, or whatever the tutorial says to use.edit: Here is something I'm working on. Its a button, and on the rollover it creates the animation. Obviously it doesnt work, because you cant have a button inside a button, so I don't know the actionscript to do this.

I know there has been several posts on this topic, but i wanted to see what was the best way. I need to create a drop down menu on an html site. I was thinking of doing it in flash however i need the drop down to extend downwards over the html content. I read online that you can make the flash bg transparent using wmode and that would make it look as if it is overlying the html. However this transparent mode isnt supported in Safari. Is there a better way of doing this?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to get a drop down menu to work in Flash but cannot get the Actionscript to work. I am a novice at Actionscript so I'm not even sure where to start. Basically, I want the menu to drop down when you hover over it. If I can show me how I should start the script, I can probably figure the rest out. I have four drop down buttons that should come down when you hover or roll over. I can't attach the flash file because it is over the file limit.
