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".

Alright I'm pretty sure I know what my problem is, but not sure how to fix it. I created a 50x50 grid of objects I want to be individually clickable using the following code to generate them:
[Code]...
I'm assuming this should work except for one issue, the above code is within another object that I have set to be able to clickdrag (so you can drag the whole map at once). Because of this, using "this.onMouseDown" seems to apply to the entire mapObject and gets the depth for each of the 2,000 some odd objects I've created. How do I set it up so that if I click on a nodeObject it gets the depth for just that and assigns it to a variable?

I currently have a movie where I have an icon (image) and a block of text as a clickable button (locked together) the button takes you to a specific urlActionScript
Code:
on(release){
geturl("[URL]");
}
What I need to do is replace the geturl with some script that will add an alert box with 2 options. I would like the box to have a title something like "Where would you like to go from here?" then two text links "Members Excel" (which will take them to members-excel-forum) and "Newsgroup Excel" (which will take them to newsgroup-excel-forum), like I said I have many more to add but once I have the code and a "How to" I should be able to adapt it.I will have to do this for each of the items (I'll have to unlock them first) there are 24 items in my movie (it looks like 12 as there is an icon and text locked together for each category) so I need to do this for 16 of them, I say Alert box as this won't be bothered by a pop up blocker. The Code [URL]

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]

I've been asked to modify this flash piece (CS3, AS2) and add clickable links to the pop up menu. For the life of me I can't get it to work, and my head hurts from searching the web top to bottom for an answer. I would attach the fla but its too large, but basically you scroll over a button, in this case a dot, and it triggers a pop up box beside it with a list of items. These are generated by frame identifiers, and when you roll over the box it goes away. I need it to stay there and make that list of items clickable ones.

I have a menu movieclip that pops out from the right hand side on rollover. On this menu there are four buttons for menu navigation options. However these buttons are not working properly. I feel that the menu movieclip is taking precedence over the buttons because the whole menu is than clickable, while the buttons show up, however are not clickable. Here's what I have so far:

I am building a fake Windows looking OS in Flash for a project of mine. So far I have a clickable start menu, and I want the categories inside the start menu to be able to be rolled over like in Windows and open up to clickable links. Just click the start menu in Windows, and then scroll into "All Programs". I want to be able to have scrolling buttons like that. I am using Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Actionscript 3.0. I've only ever used Flash in the past to make cartoons and things of that nature.

Here're my 2 problems: 1-I did a menu moving in 3d following my mouse movement. But i would like it to have a limit of rotation on the left and on the right, cause i don't the user to see the back of the image (the image is rotating 360 right now, i would like it to rotate maybe like 90 or less). Here's the code i am using:
[Code]...
2-My second question is about my menu buttons. I want them to be on lower layer cause it help creating my 3d scene cause sometimes it is a part cover by my image on the top. But the buttons stop to be clickable when they are behind something (even a part behind). I want them to be clickable at all time. The strange thing is i checked out in the forum and a lot of people have the opposite problem... their buttons still work. How can i make mine clickable?

My Error was:
1120: Access of undefined property adclicker.
After I was creating a symbol and writing the following code on to the frame:
Code:
adclicker.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callLink);
function callLink(event:MouseEvent):void
{
[Code]...
Solution:
I had to change the INSTANCE name to "adclicker" and not only have the symbol with that name!!!
- Choose the button -> Properties -> Instance name: "adclicker".

I 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.
As of now I have two menu items, Portraits and Weddings, movie clips where they are displayed are MenuPortraits and MenuWeddings
I have following properties:
[Code]...
I do see switching of images, but if I leave mouse over - it switches back and forth with high speed. Eventually, when I move mouse out - it can stuck on highlighted state.
