ActionScript 3.0 :: Use ADDED_TO_STAGE Event To Load An External Xml Driven Swf Menu?
Feb 7, 2010
well i have a problem to which there are lots of related searches over the net but none could solve it. well the problem is that i have an XML driven carousel menu that needs to be loaded using the preloader. After the load is complete i can find my swf menu's backgound and the static buttons getting loaded but the buttons that should load in the carousel using xml are not present.
I have come across the even ADDED_TO_STAGE to load the swf once it has completed its dynamic loading. But they have used it in the documentation class for thier project. I am not using any separate actionscript file.All my code is written in the 1st frame of my project .... I really need a solution to this problem

I'm looking for a way to use an XML driven Combobox to load external .JPG's and .swf files into my Flash file. I'm a Graphic Designer (way more of a designer than a coder, so I'm no pro when it comes to Action Script) used to AS2.

I bought a flash site template that loads xml driven swfs inside the main swf as different menu items are clicked. The modules that come with the template work fine, but I don't know how to add a third party xml driven swf, so that it shows up properly. While the third party swf works fine as a standalone, the embedded version loads just an empty movie.

I'm getting this weird glitch where the added_to_stage event seems to be dispatched twice when I construct my object.Now I know that my constructor is not being called twice cause I traced a string before the event listener, and it only traces once but I traced the same string within the listener handling function body and it traced twice.
Here's the code:
Code:
package com.berubegraphics.martinemartell
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;

I have this slight problem with the event ADDED_TO_STAGE. The listener is launched twice so I figured the event is dispatched twice.
Here is my .fla code :
Code:
var section:SectionStructure = new SectionStructure("xml/list.xml")
addChild(section)

I'm attempting to initiate a set of variables within a movie clip myElement as soon as it's dynamically loaded onto the stage:
frame1 within myElement:
PHP Code:
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, initiateVars); function initiateVars(ev:Event):void{ var currentY:int = this.y; var currentX:int = this.x; }
I'm trying to make this happen only once, and only when myElement is first placed on stage, but the code above doesn't work. Am I misusing the ADDED_TO_STAGE event?

I'm using flash cs3. I'm trying to to add the eventlistener on a movie clip timeline (frane 1) that is in the library. If the code is in the timeline then the event is never registered when flash adds it to the stage. If however I put the code into an external class (doing the linkage stuff) it works fine.

I've built a UIComponent in AS3. When I drag it onto the stage during authoring time, the ADDED_TO_STAGE event fires.
I have an event handler, but it's really only meant to perform actions at runtime, not when I'm dropping the component onto the stage to design the layout. Is there any way to check to see if the component is "running" in a live SWF?
Basically, I don't want the ADDED_TO_STAGE event handler to do anything at design time.

I have been working on building a XML menu and I have been able to create the main menu but I am not sure how to add the sub menu items in a drop down. I have included a zip file of my little test project which is CS4 and includes the fla and xml file.
The menu items consist of the following and the sub menu options are listed. As I said I have been able to create the main menu but I am not sure how to add and display the sub menus.[code]...

I've been hunting for tutorials on XML driven AS3 menus. I've found some really cool stuff, but nothing that does what I want, and most don't really explain the "hows' involved in getting the XML into the flash. I want to dynamically load menu buttons based upon an xml document in horizontal fashion with sub menus that load 10px down and to the right of the main menu button. With each item in the sub menu filing to the right. I'd also like to have that light up bar track the main buttons so that as the mouse moves over the bar slides to it.
Here's the code for the bar:
ActionScript Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
button_mc.buttonMode = true;
button2_mc.buttonMode = true;
button_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, hover);
button2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, hover);
function hover(e:MouseEvent):void {
new Tween(bar_mc,"x",Strong.easeOut,bar_mc.x,e.currentTarget.x,1,true);
}
Most of the XML driven code I have found obviously doesn't have a static instance name and use addChild()

I've read Sen's tut. on making the xml menu, but I couldn't spot and/or find a way to make the menu horizontal rather than vertical. I would very much like to use this effect as it would make my site so much easier to update as far as more or less links go.Here is the code from Sen's tutorial:
Code:
GenerateMenu = function(container, name, x, y, depth, node_xml) {

I've been taking advantage of kirupa's excellent tutorials for quite a while now, and lurked in the forums from time to time, but not registered until now. I'm finding myself having some problems that I seem to be unable to overcome, I've been trying to create a variant of the XML-driven drop-down menu that instead of displaying the submenus to the right of the mainmenu inserts them inbetween the mainmenu elements.[code]

I have this xml driven menu with submenus that works horizontally and i want to space the menu items and submenu by getting the textWidth of the first item and placing the 2nd item next to it and then the 3rd item next to the 2nd and 4th next to the 3rd etc etc so they all sit side by side horizontally without using a fixed space for all of them. here is my code:
Code:
this._lockroot = true;
//
_level0.fmt_container = _level0.text_formats_container || {};

I have been following and bastardising a computer arts tutorial for a dynamic flash site, its a really good tutorial and I'd like to keep going with that format/style, but I'm pretty new to the whole scripting thing and am finding it a bit of a headache, so was wondering if any kind souls would help me work out how to add submenus to the code below.the main menu button is a movie file(btn_projects_main) consisting of a button (button) and a text box(txt) and is 3 frames long to allow for the different states: What I'm looking for is a set of sub menus which load horizontally below the main menu buttons, here is the code which has been altered slightly (thanks to Ned Murphy for his help and patience with that)
// Setup some initial variables
// Hide the button that will display a web link_root.theUrl._visible = 0;
// Hide the image icons in the project loader// The image icons are simply there to make

I would like to use an XML-driven menu on my site and everything works fine so far, but the XML is connected to a CMS, meaning new menu items can be created through the CMS and added to the Flash menu. That's works, too. Here is the problem: Browsers usually caches XML files,to modify the line where Flash retrieves the XML file:e.g. instead of getting: 'menu.xml'. It should more look like this: menu.xml?'+Math.random(),(or whatever is the exact syntax for a random number is in AS. This would kill the cache, correct?Here is the AS code:
// declare the package
package com {
// import the needed AS packages
