I am using Adobe Flash CS4 Professional. I have a simple navigation menu that I am trying to edit. I may be in the wrong place in the file, but when I open the .SWF files I can see the lines of code and I can see the actual navigation menu as it appears on our web site. I have not been able to figure out how to change / edit / delete the line inthe drop down menu that I want to delete on our web site.

I'm making a very short text adventure, not one that will be all that fun, but just so I can learn a little as3. So I was designing a system that splits the persons input into an array of words, and then goes through and takes out unimportant words like "on." To test this out, I quickly (and messily) coded it up, and the only thing you can do is sit on a box. but it doesn't seem to be working. if you type "sit box" it works, but "sit on box" does not.

I need to add a couple menu items to an existing Flash menu that I did not create, but I am having trouble figuring out how to make the buttons stay highlighted until you click another one. Best way to simply describe my problem since is to simple show you. The first 5 links work exactly as they should. But the last 2 (Careers and Client login) do not stay go highlighted on the loaded page. [URL]
View 9 RepliesI found what I am looking for when I list all variables. I want to cut out the rest of the menus that create a fan of pages.I removed the SWF's from showing up. But I am still having issues with changing the nMenus = "14" which is the number of menus to show. I want to change the "14" to "9" so there are no spacing in between my 3D Pages.

View 4 RepliesI have a menu that works really well, however sometimes it is hard for users to get to the submenus because there is no delay between when they roll off the main menu item till the next one pops up. They currently can avoid this by rolling the mouse straight down, and then over, but that isn't necessarily intuitive. The main difference is I added some rollover effects and made it horizontal instead of vertical.

View 2 RepliesI'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".
Why these menu items won't open the specified url's in the same window? (won't open them at all)
And why is there no hand cursor (like normally when you mouse over a link)?

View 1 RepliesI have two PNG images that have text in them as menu items. When clicked, a new XML file is loaded and new set of photos is displaying.Everything works fine, but I want the menu item to be highlighted when hovering the mouse over the item. In other words, so that new image is displayed in place of the old one on MOUSE_OVER, and the old image is back on MOUSE_OUT.

View 11 RepliesA 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.
View 1 RepliesBuilding a website for myself and I know a bit of flash but not much. Mostly following tutorials and adapting for my own purposes. Anyway I am building a menu bar, which when you hover over certain items drops down a submenu.

// Make submenu buttons hidden

btn_Set.btn_Set2.visible = false;
// Add event listeners for main button

For now, I have it set up so that if someone clicks one of the menu items, the output window say "commited suicide after being cyberbullied", what I want to do is either have different text (that shows in the window) for each of the eight menu items when clicked, or 8 different URL links for each of the menu items, when clicked.

I do not know why but I see that itemclick event on a menubar do not fired unless you click a sub item. What is the clean way to handle clicks on menuitems which are on the top level and do not have sub menu items. For example I want to fire an event whenever MenuItem B is clicked.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- menus/MenuBarControl.mxml -->
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="[URL]" >
<mx:MenuBar id="myMenuBar" labelField="@label" itemClick="{itemClick(event)}" >
<mx:XMLList>

I have searched the net, but all those tuts are for Flex 3.

I have a menu of 10 items. I want that the selected item be highlighted. So i have a function "highlight item", called by the item listener on MOUSE_UP event.
myItem.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, selectedOn);
how can I deactivate the previous highlighted items in the menu ?
I'm updating this site for a client:

I can't get "Motion" and "Press" to show as active. Basically this is done via a gotoAndPlay function, but it's not working. In addition, the code also deactivates the menu item when it's active; so, if I was on "Profile" before going to "Web" or "Press," that item remains inactive once I've clicked on "Web" or "Press," so I can't click on "Profile" again until I go to any of the other pages.
Below is the code for the navigation. Also, there is an external file named BookSection.as that I believe contains the code we would need to edit, I just can't figure out what it is - I've tried several edits.

View 14 RepliesI asked how it were possible to have a XML-driven dynamic menu in Flash where you could tell it how many columns to display in. Scotty directed me towards the following [code]...
The reason being is that the way I've implemented this script is within a menu that only displays certain items pulled from an XML document (by using an if statement > if myrelateditemname = oneoftheotheritemnames then success - that kinda thing). The problem is, it still seems to be going by the total number of items in the XML document to display the menu, rather than the total number of items that achieved success in the if statement, therefore, when the menu displays, it is leaving gaps where the unsuccessful items would be displayed.
I need a menu with 7 graphical items:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Where the item to the farthest left is largest in physical size. If someone clicks on, say, "5" in this example, 5 will scroll to the left, getting larger as it does so. As it scrolls to the left, 1,2,3 and 4 with drop off one at a time reappearing instantaneously in small size on the right of the menu. So, after someone has clicked "5" the menu will look like this:
5 6 7 1 2 3 4
