I've got a rollover menu bar of buttons that opens up a list of sub-items below each button when you roll over it. Pretty standard, right? Then once that movie plays (sub-items appearing), a thin box appears both around those items and the menu bar's actual button, meaning that once the mouse pointer moves off of either the button of the sub-items, the movie disappears (that's what my invisible button is set to do). And herein lies my problem.
While the button works almost always, if I drag the mouse pointer very quickly over the active area, the button fails to activate. So I can literally keep my pointer at one side of the screen and race it over to the other side, activating all the sub-menus and making them stick in their 'open' position. Someone on these forums suggested increasing my framerate and I've set this to maximum. It makes the problem less frequent, but doesn't fix it. This problem happens both in the preview window and my browser (Firefox, Vista).So I guess at this point I either need a way to 1) Fix the problem and make them close, either by tweaking what I already have or making a rollover menu by a different means or2) Add something to each item like a 'timeout', where if there's no pointer present for, say, 1 sec, the it closes automatically. But I don't know if such a thing exists, especially in an older version like MX.
I 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.
I have created this site with a expanding / collapsin menu. When a user selects a menu e.g. "hammers" then the menu is loaded and show the submenues. When the users closes the menu by moving the mouse away from the area the menu collapses. If the user expands the menu again the menu should have remember the last visit menu and show the menu.
So if you click on Capital Strategies group on this page: [URL] you'll find a .swf file that has a collapsible menu (accordion menu). Everything works great except for two problems: 1. There is some sort of wierd masking occuring that's clipping the bottom of the menu as you'll see. 2. The items don't collapse entirely. I assume this has something to do with actionscript but as I'm sifting through it I'm just not having much luck.
I need to make an xml generated menu that when the user clicks on an option, the menu closes down to show only the clicked item, then it opens a new submenu. unfortunatly my knowledge of AC is VERY limited
here's the code I'm using so far
Code: // ActionScript Document GenerateMenu = function(container, name, x, y, depth, node_xml) { var curr_node;
My problem that I'm having is I am trying to build a menu consisting 3 buttons, side by side that open and reveal subnavigation buttons on rollover. Then on rollout of the main container button, they close back to where they were. I have built the buttons and everything works great, the only problem is that on rollover of the internal buttons, the main button senses this as a roll out and plays the rollout animation event (closes the button). How can I make the main button not sense the rollovers of the internal buttons and only play the rollout event on rollout of the main button?
Well, I was able to simply enough (after about an hour of googling) implement i18n (internationalization) into my Flex application by having to reverse engineer the Flex SDK and do a lot of digging (a specific question on here helped me a lot! (with some updates for flex 4.5)).The problem is, I can't use my {getLand('key')} bind inside an <fx:XMLList> (how you define the contents of a <mx:MenuBar>. I've included some example i18n below, as well as an example of the menu bar.
<!-- Example of proper (working) i18n --> <s:TextArea text="{getLang('Rules')}"/>[code]..
I'm developing a multi monitor fullscreen application with Adobe Air 2.6. I can create a window for every monitor, and put those windows to fullscreen. theWindow.stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE; The problem comes when interacting with those windows. If I click the window on the main monitor (the one with the dock and menu bar) no problem, but when I click any other window the system menu bar becomes visible. I've tried resizing the main window to match the monitor size and moving it to a negative coordinate but it always stays behind the bar. Is it possible to do this in Air?
I'm trying to look for tutorials on getting my AIR application to OSX's menubar when minimized. However, when I try to search for it, I end up getting examples on doing it for the system tray on Windows and the Dock on macs. I don't want the app to stay on the dock when the window is not visible. I want it to minimize to the menubar instead. EDIT: I don't want to learn about working with the OS X dock (on this post at least). I'm interested in working with the menubar. (See image below.)
regarding the events related to menubar sub items, here is some code iam working with
[Code]...
i want to handle events wen particular subitem is clicked for example ,if submnu item hod of cse is clicked it should go to the particular mxml page ,and if hod of ece is clicked it shold goto other page how do i differentiate each page of particular deparment how do select that particulasr item of that particular submenu itm
As you can see there is Vision and Contact Us but the eventHandler doesn't know when those two are clicked. What is the correct way to implement the eventHandler?
I have an mx:Menubar, which I need to be able to open/expand based on the key pressed. For e.g., if Shift + R is pressed, it needs to open the 'Request' topmenu. Then if Shift + N is pressed, it should load the 'New request' module in the module loader. I've already implemented the MenuBar/module-loading functionality with the mouse, but I haven't been able to implement the keyboard shortcuts. I found a nice sample at [URL].
However, the solution directly performs the action (e.g. Shift + N to load the 'New request' module). The menu does not open/expand when you press the shortcut as though you had hovered your mouse over it (e.g. Shift + R to open/expand the 'Request' topmenu and then Shift + N to load the 'New request' module).
I would like to have menuItems with checks that show what element of the menu has been selected. I know it is possible to have checks with XML. But is it possible to have variables in XML because the elements of my menu are variables. If there is a component on sale that has exactly the design of the flash component menuBar + menu and that is more easy to program,
I'm trying to make a menubar with an itemrenderer of linkbuttons. How could I go by doing this? Here is what my code looks like so far, but I can't seem to get it working.
I have a little concern. I started trying to make a MenuBar control with custom icons already made in FXG format. I have 3 FXG files in "assets.graphics.icons" inside my project folder:
I have a MenuBar which opens downwards except when there isn't enough room to open it. For example, it may have 10 items but there's only enough room to display 4-5. Flex then tries to display the menu above the bar, which is completely off the screen. Is there some property or style I'm overlooking to always force it to open downward?
EDIT: Thought I'd give some clarification as to how I plan to circumvent the issue. If I can always force the menubar to be orientated downwards, I can make it into a scrollable menubar displaying only a few items at worst.
Is there a way to store the clicked menuItem index of a clicked menuItem on a menuBar component?I need to be able to create a previous and next button that relates to the currently clicked menuItem of a menuBar. My menuBar dataprovider is an XML file. So I'm thinking it should be possible to show the nextSibling or previousSibling according to the clicked menuItem of a menuBar
I m new to this forum & flash. I need to create a wbt which can run thru a 56K modem. also i want to know how can toolbar & menu bar of browser be removed when i publish it.

I've created a custom MenuBar to make this happen. But it just doesn't seem to happen. It never renders any of the changes I made to the Graphics.What am I doing wrong?[code]
How can customize the horisontal position of the menubar-buttons? The ones I make always appear at x=0 of the menubar. And if I create some blank ones to sidestep the menubar, they always become small buttons with no text (they still show, though).
