Am trying to make a 3 level flash menu. I'm getting into Flash and Actionscript 3 all in all so I'm a beginner as well.I'm also using TweenLite for the tweening and I got as far as the attachment goes. The problem is that when the 3rd and last level comes out on a mouse hover, ok so far so good, when the mouse goes over that 3rd part, the "menu goes back" animation is triggered as if I hovered out of the whole menu It probably sounds confusing, a flash file is worth a million words so check it out. The .fla is for CS3+
I've messed around with XML+FLASH menu systems (downloaded from various Flash resource sites) on a novice level . As in, I know how to modify the XML file to have the content I want and where to rename the XML file in the FLA if need be. But I've never had to actually manually modify any functions within the FLA before. I'm really green when it comes down to diggin' within the Flash coding. Anywho, I came upon this really nice horizontal/glide menu from a way talented flash guru who was nice enough to share his source files with me...
Does anyone have any tips for how to approach building a two level accordion menu from scratch? ...or better yet a tutorial? I haven't been able to find anything online other than references to the accordion component which I do not want to use.
Right now I got as far as loading in all the 1st level menu items and their child items from an XML file, when you click one of the 1st level items a function is called which moves all of the 1st level items below the one you click on down far enough so that all of that item's sub items have space, they then attach to that item.
I'm using a for loop within a for loop, is there a better way?
i got the drop down menu to come down once rolled over but it cancels out all other actions meaning it cancels the functions of the rest of the menu none of my other buttons work nowhow can i fix this?each button has its own action ie:
I'm struggling with a 2 level menu and it needs to follow this condition: The "menuItem" button should be trigged with MOUSE_OVER to open its SubMenu, cause it needs to be also associated with the CLICK event.I'm managing the objects in the display list like this:
stage __menu ____menuItem ______bt_title (movieclip that contains textfield with title of the button)
[code]....
how should I manage the EventListeners ?I've done like that:
I should be able to MOUSE_OVER the menuItem to open the subMenu, and leave it open while I'm still able to MOUSE_OVER and CLICK the menuItem.bt_title and every other subMenuItems.If i do:
Code: menuItem.mouseChildren = false;
then i don't have access anymore to its children. If i do that:
then I get the "epileptic" effect created by continuously mousing OVER and OUT the menuItem. Is there something to do with the capture / bubbling phase of the event flow?Where exactly should I place the listeners?

I am doing a website in which I load a bunch of movies with an empty first frame to different levels in the first frame of the main movie. When I want to see each movie I have a button which tells a specific level to gotoandplay (2). Every time I "play" a loaded movie, I also tell all the others to gotoandstop (1) - so I wont see them anymore.Is it possible to make a loaded swf to "jump" to a much higher level - and all the other movies go back to a lower level? this way I wont have to make my movies go back to frame 1 all the time.
i've got that when you click a button it takes you to the next frame/level of the game, but i want to make the next level harder, meaning you have to kill all the enemies to goto the next frame/level, so, how do i make it so you have to click ALL 3 buttons on the stage to go to the next frame? Or is there another way to do this?
