Nov 10, 2009

T really hate doing rollover with actionscripts. The download link for the fla can be found in below. Sorry for posting an external download link as the file is 7mb+! [URL]

I am looking at creating a menu with three movieclip buttons on a main menu. I want to keep these buttons on the top of the screen at all times. I am opening different swf's and I want to make sure that the buttons are still showing. I know there is something with changing or swapping the depth of the movie clip when it loads the new swf's in, but I have not found anything that is seeming to work.

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?

I'm creating a menu bar that is a movieclip and inside the movieclip consists of the buttons.Now the menu bar is twice as WIDE as what is visible on the stage.The only part you can see is the text 'menu' on a bar.Then when the mouse hits the bar, it flies across the screen to the otherside of the bar where the menu buttons are.Now the menu bar does its animation over 20 frames - the last frame being the frame where the menu buttons are now visible.
On the last frame i have the 'stop;' code
On the first frame I have this code:
Code:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
[code]....

i'm making a rollover menu with AS3, and when the user mouse clicks I want it to go to a certain frame in a movie clip and stop. It does this fine, however I have an animation for it to play on Mouse out. So when user mouse clicks then mouse outs from the button area it plays my mouse out animation and i'm back to square one. How can i tell it to ignore the mouse out animation if the user has clicked the button?

I have followed a video guide on how to make a drop down menu in Flash CS4 ( AS3) with a few modifications. Instead of dropping down, it appears to the left of the "button" and it's a fade in fade out effect.And instead of text in the buttons, I've put in .png's. One png for normal button, another png for mouseover.The problem is that when I put the mouse on the original button ( the one meant to activate the menu) it activates the menu, but when I try to put the mouse on the menu, the menu dissapears.I've tried putting the layers in different orders but it didn't work.[code]

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 am having an amazingly frustrating problem here, I created a drop down menu with different buttons and I want these buttons to send me to a different scene in the flash document, again, Working with AS2.When I click the button in the movie clip, all it does is it closes the menu and doesn't direct me to the frame I need, but If I copy the button, and paste it outside the movieClip, it works just fine.[code]

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.

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'm having a bit of trouble getting a button in a hoover over drop down menu to link to another scene in the .swf movie. I just doing a basic drop down menu (example here: [URL] with a couple of buttons with in a movie clip, the movie clip being the "button" someone hoovers over. The buttons however are not going to the corrisponding scene I have them set up to. What's strange is that if I set in the buttons action panel to go to an url instead of a scene, in the .swf movie the button works when I click it...it wants to go the specificed url. Nothing happens when it's set to go to a scene.

I have made a drop down menu, that through shape tweening expands when you mouse over a tab...and when its fully expanded...buttons show up...I want the buttons to perform actions when clicked, but as it is now, I cannot get them to simply trace...I have a movieclip named tools on the main stage...this tools movieclip is the one that expands when you hover over its tab...in the tools movieclip I have a button that shows up when the tab is expanded...."jButton" in the main movie...I am trying to access it using the following code...
tools.jButton.onRelease = function()
that does nothing...in the tools movieclip I tried to put actionscript
jButton.onRelease = function()
this does nothing as well...I am trying to make a simple tools menu which will allow the user to print or save the contents of a movieclip...as as soon as the buttons perform any action I can go on to coding the ideas above...

I'm trying to create a horizontal drop-down (well, sliding in actually) menu bar that expands to stage when rolling over it, and collapsing in when rolling-out. Problem is, when I roll-over one of the buttons in the menu, flash thinks I'm rolling out from the area that was supposed to trigger the menu in.I have attached the file I'm working on (hopefully the most accurate one, as I tried dozens of solutions and wasn't very careful with naming...

how to link the buttons in drop down menu to the content(scenes) within the flash file? The drop down menu has been made using the masks. Those buttons, which are not drop down/masked, work properly. Those which are drop down/masked, do not work. The content appears after clicking on them, then disappears when other (drop down) button is rolled over.
