ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Sub Menu Items Using XML

Apr 27, 2010

I am trying to learn how to add sub menu items to my main menu which is being generated using XML. I have been able to add the top level menu items but I am not sure how to integrate the sub menu items. a link to my development site [URL] In my code I have a variable showInMenu this value is true if it is a top level menu item and false if it is a sub menu item. If I list out the XML menu items they look like this where About Us is a top level menu item and Our Mission is a sub menu item of About Us. how to set up the sub menu items. I attached the fla with xml file.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Menu Items Dynamically?

Feb 4, 2010

1. An XML list, which works just fine, retrieves between 3 and 15 strings (or menu names). These menu names are put into an array called, "aGalleryMenuID".

2. I want to be able to create a MovieClip and TextField dynamically for each string and place them on the stage dynamically. So if there are only 5, it will make five. 3 will only make 3. The long way of doing this is to create 15 MovieClips and 15 TextFields and use a loop to use addChild. This is okay, but what if later it is decided there needs to be 30 menu items. I want to avoid that and make this future proofed.

for loop that loops through the # of array items in aGalleryMenuID
set the MovieClip's name to a unique identifier
set the TextField's name to a unique identifier

ActionScript 3.0 :: Document Class - Building And Adding Menu Items?

Jan 18, 2010

I am working on a new site, and in the site items from the library are brought on to and taken off the main stage through a handful of functions in the document class. I also have a main menu class that is responsible for building and adding menu items. The way it is built currently, these menu items must somehow reach into the document class and call the functions I created earlier, but I am unsure how to do this. Most things I find on how to call a parents method end with the person saying if it built correctly you shouldn't be doing this at all.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Multiple Items?

Jun 3, 2010

I have entered the following code and both items do import, but i cant control the label of the second library item called "Cool"After doing some digging, i think i found out the class name of the second object was called "Cool" and the base class was "import flash.display.SimpleButton;" so it looked like i had to import that class at the top like i did! But still not working. and still no joy!I think i need to add in "public class Cool extends SimpleButton" so it inherits the SimpleButton class after the first public class and then create a new function called "public function Cool() " and then add the function body but when i go to do that it all goes wrong. Am i on the right track or am i missing a trick!!

package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;

ActionScript 3.0 :: CS4/AS3 Adding Transitions To Items In An Array?

Mar 3, 2011

The buttons search and find the movie clip in the array flawlessly, but I'm having trouble adding a transition to every movie clip as it is appears. Most tutorials on transitions require a specific instance name, but I want ALL instances to have a transition. Heard the .getChildAt() method is the way to go but cannot find solid guidance on this. Here is the basic code:

Quote:

var myDishArray = [chicken, steak, tuna, pasta, iceCream];
for each (var btn in myDishArray) {
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onDishBtnClick);

[code]....

how do I properly use the transition manager or add a transition code?

How To Make Menu Items Clickable

Jun 15, 2009

I'm creating an xml generated gallery/menu, I have the gallery and menu populating fine but my issue arises when I try to make the menu items clickable.

This is inside my populate menu function
_root["mainMenu"+[i]].onRelease = function() {
trace(this);
var splitThis:String = this
var splitThisArray:Array = splitThis.split("Menu");
trace(splitThis)
trace(splitThisArray[1])
};

Now the trace output I get is
_level0.mainMenu1
_level0.mainMenu1
undefined

Although when I set splitThis to "_level0.mainMenu1" manually I get "1" or whatever number comes after "Menu".

Flex :: Adding Click Handler On SkinnableDataContainer Items

May 21, 2010

I am new to Flex. What I am looking for here is adding a click handler on all the items created by a SkinnableDataContainer. I tried several things that didn't work, and I have no idea what is the right way to do it.

<s:SkinnableDataContainer id="teamList" itemRenderer="TeamSummaryRenderer">
<s:dataProvider><s:ArrayList>
<fx:Object teamName="A super team 1"/>
<fx:Object teamName="A super team 2"/>
<fx:Object teamName="A super team 3"/>
</s:ArrayList></s:dataProvider>
</s:SkinnableDataContainer>

Furthermore, I don't want to declare the handler in my custom TeamSummaryRenderer component. I would prefer that the handler code stays at application level.

Flex :: Iterating Over ArrayCollection While Adding And Removing Items

ActionScript 3.0 :: Reusable Buttons / Menu Items?

Jun 16, 2009

A good button should have all the available out, over and down states, and often there are a bunch of nice to haves such as animation, disabled states, filters, you name it. I seem to change my mind in each project I do. The last one, I reskinned and extended the Button Component. The project before I extended SimpleButton Before that I built my own custom class using a Sprite and TweenLite. Then of course you need to work out if you will use library items which is great for laying out on stage, or do everything from scratch using code, which is more powerful but crap for design. I haven't looked at the swc or component route myself.
