Whats up with the problems when you let a different MC control the drag of an MC. (ie. press this mc, this other mc drags).Take this FLA for example. Notice the trace will pop up sometimes, if you get the box at a very certain position on the temp MC.
View 2 RepliesI have recently created a game where your drag and drop planet movieclips into individual planet movieclip targets. I had this going fine untill i decided to make it so that the user would have a custom cursor (a claw grabber is anyone is wondering).
Now, when i grab a planet with the cursor and drop it into it's intended target. Nothing happens.
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.
View 1 RepliesCan somebody take a look at my .fla file and tell me why exactly my menu is not dropping down at all?If you download my file go to scene 3. that is where my Navigation Bar is.URL...
View 1 Repliesive followed Senoculars drop-down menu tute [URL], awsome stuff, but it seems the submenu's dont disappear to well when you roll out. ..They only disappear if you click on another menu item or when you click outside the menu.
View 12 RepliesEach 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 love Senocular's XML-Driven Drop-Down Tutorial. But I can't seem to get it to make the menu headers look different from the submenus.
View 5 RepliesI 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?
View 1 RepliesI'm creating an animated (in and out) drop down menu. I've managed to get the menu to open when the user mouses over, with the buttons all selectable. However I can't seem to find an efficient method of making the drop down menu close whenever the mouse is not over the menu. Actions:

I need to add a drop down menu to the main menu button called "galleries".
The menu came from one of the awesome kirupa tutorials here, and below is a link to my existing menu w slider:

When I try to add a popup menu to "galleries" to the over state in galleries, the popup menu dissappears when you rollover the first item.
Here is the .fla, click on gallery, and open up popup_but to see what I've done in the "over" state:

I'm creating a drop down menu and when I addEventListeners to check the clicks on the invisible buttons on frame 19 of the "menu" movieclip, it gives me an error. 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]
View 2 RepliesI made a simply drop-down menu in MX with an invisible perimeter around the drop-down part that will collapse the menu when rolled over. Most of the time, this works. However, I've noticed that when running the mouse quickly over the button (side to side quickly, for example), the menu will occasionally open but not close, and I have to roll over it again (crossing the perimeter) to collapse it.
View 2 Repliesi had desined a drop down menu for a html page in flash. It reads the menu items from a XML file and extends itself.Now the things is what height and width should i set for it. If i set the height of the menu, in the html file the dropped menus are not displayed.
View 1 Repliesany Action Script tutorials to activate the menu and sub menu found here:currently the drop down menu is part of the "over" frame of the button.this flash project will function only as a menu for an HTML site (probably using HTML frames).

View 1 RepliesI have a vertical dropdown menu created in Flash linking to an XML file. Each of my submenus needs to link to a document within my website. I am using a getURL command in flash to link to my page but when I put the page name into the xml file it isn't working correctly. eg, when I click on the sub menu button the URL address for the page should be [URL]. It is coming up as [URL]. If I correct the URL the page is there but how do I program flash to bring up the correct URL.
View 4 RepliesI have a made menu bar with effects and everything. The menu bar height is about 60px, and it must stay that way. But one of the menu options, needs a on ROLL_OVER effect that will open like five other options underneath the menu. My problem is that I am embeding this menubar into HTML, so I need it to stay 60px, and the vertical dropdown menu must appear over it, and have its own effect... Any Ideas? I am thinking that I need something that will either extend the width of my flash stage size, or maybe some code that will open a whole separate swf and i can position it properly.

View 3 Repliesknow Sen's xml menu well i've updated it a bit grabbed some code from somewhere else on this and added a simple little bit of code in my self so that youcan have a horizontal menu with the pop out bits as vertical menus. I've also made it so that you can have the pop out menu as a different menuitem than the horizontal bit.
You can easily make it so that the first menu is vertical and the pop out as horizontal or have them both going on the same axis

HOW do I go about doing it?Ive tried...buttonon "over" create to movie clipinside movie clip have my animations and sublink buttonsit works fine, but there's one problem, The hit area of the main button HAS to cover the hidden sublinks, so even if you scrolled your mouse over the bottom of the button (in the invisible area) it will still show since its in the hit area).How can I create a simple nav drop down? I seriously have went through almost all tutorials, both video and text, and nothing has worked! I am using Actionscript 3, or whatever the tutorial says to use.edit: Here is something I'm working on. Its a button, and on the rollover it creates the animation. Obviously it doesnt work, because you cant have a button inside a button, so I don't know the actionscript to do this.

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]
View 2 RepliesHere is my issue: I've created a drop down menu in CS4 using AS2. In my drop down menu, I'm trying to make the buttons link up to other scene labels, but it won't go anywhere. I have no problem linking to a URL, but for some reason, even when I use Behaviors to make the button Go to and Play at the scene I'm designating. I don't know enough about the scripting to figure out why this is happening.
