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.

have designed a menu that opens into a sub menu that in turn opens up to reveal another menu .the menu is split 5 times too reveal the submenu's the script to do this is a tween that at frame 6 opens the menu and 11 closes it.
This is replicated to form another sumenu
I have declared the menu instance as "menu"
I have declared the submenu instance as "subsect"
I have declared the button to open the submenu as "expander"
using the with action i have told the expanders to tell all the other submenu's to play the closing sequence so that the open menus close when a new menu is opened .this fails to work as the with action cannot find the target .the code on the expander button is as follows
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay(5);
with (_root.menu.subsect2) {gotoAndPlay(11); [code]............

I'm doing site menus in Flash/Action Script. Each top level menu heading is a button with a standard look and rollover/click that is highlighted. The code waits for a mouse-over and runs a function that moves the movie to a frame that displays the relevant drop down menus (with buttons) under the top level menu. When a dropdown item is clicked, the code runs a function and the appropriate URL is loaded.Everything works fine but here's my one problem (isn't there always one...?).
The top level menus always look the same on every page. It would be nice to highlight the top level button that corresponds to the page currently being displayed. For example, if the user selected About Us..History, then it would be nice to make the About Us top level button remain highlighted (over/down state) instead of reverting back to the standard look (up).1. What do you suggest as the most efficient way to do this? I know ther must be a simple way of doing it. I haven't used Flash variables but I imagine that calling the flash movie with a variable and then acting upon the value of that variable might be the way to go.2. How do I highlight a particular menu/button?Can I use code to cause it to display in over or down state instead of regular up state? Is it better to overlay a separate graphic showing the item in highlighted state?

I just finished creating a large online flex app with 43 different screens. I am using a mx:MenuBar with four main menus and a couple of submenus to navigate between these screens.I am now trying to convert this into a iPad app as well, but the mx:MenuBar does not appear to be supported in mobile flex. Is there any way I can replicate this sort of navigation system in mobile flex? The user needs to be able to move between any of these pages at any time, and 43 tabs will obviously not work

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.

I'm building a menu with action script, the menu has an interval, so the items follow after each other. This is not a real problem. But the submenu is. I want to build it the same way, with the interval. But the menu array contains, some years, and with a loop a go trough this array and flash builds it with the items of the array. The submenu array, contains the quantity of the year, so the quantity of subbuttons.. But i can't fix it to use the number in the array as quantity of subitems. here is the code:

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.

Any tutorial for a simple vertical navigation menu with a submenu. Like a drop down menu but vertical where the main links are on the left and the submenues come out the right side of the menu. I don't need any bells and whistles and I am just learning so it doesn't need anything but a button link when rolled over more link options appear to the right. Is there a tutorial that is not a place trying to sell me this capability and actually works (CS3), no errors, broken links etc...just a how to for a simple menu with submenus.

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;

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.

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:

I want to use it for what seems like a fairly simple application, but I am having a terrible time finding any tutorials that address this specific need. I've been through basic "how to us Flash CS5" training but I'm having trouble making the connection between the skills taught and what I'm trying to accomplish.
I have a static paragraph of text - black on a plain white background. I would like each sentence to highlight with a yellow box behind it as the audio for that sentence is read. I would like a user to be able to hear the entire passage, but also be able to click on individual sentences and hear them separately.

By default, whenever you rollOver/mouseOver (not sure of the difference) an item in a Datagrid or a List, that item is highlighted with the component's rollOverColor.I'm just wondering if there's any way to do that programmatically. I haven't been able to find much help on the issue. For example,suppose I have two DataGrids.When I rollOver an item in the first DataGrid, I want to highlight the corresponding index in the second one as well.Basically, as if two separate cursors were rollOver'ing two separate DataGrids.

I'm trying to implement solr hit highlighting using a flex client. There are lots of examples out there to do high lighting in client side writing logic to do this, but couldn't find proper solution to tag them from back end (eg. some words<pretexttag>keyword<posttexttag>some words) so that it automatically highlight with results.

I have been working on a Flash touchscreen project for a year, and I'm currently trying to make it easier for users to add text half way into a message. The normal way to solve this, is to click with the "caret" and then keep typing.
I'm looking for a similiar iPhone caret. I'm currently using to find the location, but would like advice about how I could best replicate the iPhone caret hover.
Code:
testText.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, printCursorPosition);
function printCursorPosition(event:MouseEvent):void {
var tf:TextField = TextField(event.target);
