I was looking for some information before proceeding with the work, I was looking to create a navigation bar in Flash with drop down menus coming form some of the links. Now will this require the visitor to have JavaScript enabled, I'm just a little cautious as I want the links in the drop down to be available to everyone, and if they do need Javascript enabled how do i get round this.....

View 3 RepliesI'm creating a webpage, and I have made some buttons.Image 1 is the homepage, which is frame 1 in Flash.Image 2 shows that when I rollover the button "Portfolio,"I get a dropdown menu.I have this set as frame 3 in Flash.Image 3 shows that I've gone down the dropdown menu and rolled over "Photography." But if I rollout of any of the things from the dropdown menu, it stays at Image 2 (Frame 3)with the dropdown menu visible. Which is a problem...I want to be able to rollout of these buttons to revert back to the homepage, Image 1 (Frame 1).But, for instance, telling "Graphic Design" to go to Frame 1 on rollout means that if I try to go below "Graphic Design" to "Photography," I've rolled out--and so the rest of the menu disappears.So I want to roll be able to select anything from the dropdown menu, and only rollout to Frame 1 if I go outside the entire dropdown menu, not just one button.

I was wondering if there is a way for me to build a dropdown menu in flash, and somehow integrate it with a nonflash website. For further explanation on what I am trying to accomplish...I was going to code a fully custom dropdown menu / button in flash, however for this to work the website would need to have a giant blank space where the flash meny would roll-down at. I am wondering if there is a way to get around this.
View 1 RepliesIn the attached file, for some reason, when the menus drop down, they frequently get hung up. (stay down, slow to move back up into the hidden position, etc.)

I am aware of how to reset the right-click context menu to just "settings", but when the file is opened in Flash Player directly from a computer instead of on the web, the drop-down menu in the player is still available. You can even press ctrl+enter to play. My searches just come up with solutions to the right-click menu, and I have a client who wants me to get rid of this menu for a game I've already made.
View 2 RepliesMy dropdown menus work fine with tthe swf and xml file offline, but once I upoload them to my domain the dropdowns are all buggy and get stuck and don't drop down fully. I'm not sure what the problem is, does anybody have a possible solution.[URL]..
View 5 RepliesI'm having with a menu navigation system. I'm using Flash MX. I have created a menu system for the site I'm building ([URL]) where one of the buttons "Choose photographer" drops down a list of names. All the other buttons just jump to another page. The drop down is currently using tweens also the logo moves to the left as the dropdown appears and returns when the dropdown returns. All working fine apart from its a bit jerky.
It's I just wanted to get away from tweening and use action scripts instead, as I'm a newbie to all things Flash I trawled the net for tutorials and examples so that I could cobble together the exact same effect. I have managed to get the drop down work and return using the action script and it does seem smoother and works slightly better. But can I get the logo to move to the left and back in time with the drop down...no.
I have a css drop down menu on the header portion of my website and the flash movie plays on the center of the site. The problem is, when the drop down menu is clicked it goes under the flash movie so that people can't see what is on the menu. Not sure if this is something that can be adjusted on the parameters of the movie or not?
My current parameters are:
<div style="text-align: center;">
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="[URL]" width="640" height="342" id="main_page" align="middle">

View 6 RepliesI have an HTML website with a flash header and dropdown menu.In the beginning, the flash dropdown menu would not show at all untili found the wmode=transparent trick.The menus are now showing properly except for one specific page wherethe text on the page show up OVER the dropdown menu. In all otherpages, the dropdown menu shows up on top of any text that may be inthere.There's nothing on that particular page jumping at me that would causethe problem. In fact, the page uses the same CSS file as the otherpages. I'm really clueless.I'm not sure if it's a flash problem or HTML/CSS problem.
The only difference i could think of was that the page was called froma combobox change event. But i switched the page called to anotherpage i know works with the menu and it was fine. So the problem doesnot come from the combobox calling the page, it really is the pageitself.Does anyone have a clue?Working page sample (sorry its in french)click on Nos Services. You can see how the menu shows up over the bolded text.Now click on the combobox and select the first item listed in it.

View 1 RepliesFirst, an explanation to what I am doing. I am currently building a Flash movie to go onto a CD. It will be self contained so that the audio files are not exposed for easy bit torrent sharing, and is pretty working really well until this point. have build a custom dropdown menu which is functioning (when you click on the button, the dropdown animates and brings up the new options to select from), however...I cannot seem to get the coding correct on them. I have scripted them so that if you was to click another link or dropdown, that the previous link would be closed. But the buttons within the dropdown will do nothing but look pretty, for a lack of better terms.
The downdown menus are within a movie clip for the Nav Bar, separate layers from the other buttons of course.Yet when I source the scripting to go to those buttons to call the EventListener...nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? If needed,I can make a "random" version of the layout.Demo song buttons will link to an audio page on Scene 1, but at different frames. Multimedia will also have two separate frames which hold two separate functions. I already know how to make the direct buttons (credits and the B-Side) work correctly, but the dropdown buttons will not function for me.
I just created a simple Mailform with drop down fields. I used AS 2.0 to fill in the information in the boxes. And it does work, when I execute it local on my machine.ut as soon as I upload all the files on my Webspace and click on the Mailform, it doesn't open up the drop down boxes. You can see, that there is data in it, but you can't click on the downarrow to choose between other data. As I told, it works fine on local, but not Webspace.Here is the Code:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
var senderLoad:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

I tried to make one of those dropdown menus where you have the rest of the menu move down if you open a dropdown. Kinda hard to explain with words :/. I cant find an example either.I quickly found out that I wouldn't be able to do this with AS tweens though hehe. Heres what I came up with: http://hundsteg.se/Erik/menutesting.swf
if you press "meny2" you will see what I'm trying to achieve. If you press "meny1" the "meny3" will stay still though. Can't work that out with just tweens.how to do this? Or have a tutorial or something?
I just spent too much time perfecting a CSS/JS dropdown menu that I am going to have to port to Flash. I only need one of my buttons to dropdown. Nothing fancy because I am emulating the CSS menu. I've been searching Kirupa but have not found anything that meets my needs of AS2, and rollover expands dropdown.

View 1 RepliesI'm having an issue with my dropdown menu, and I know how It's not working, but not why. See, I have an mc in my menu that I have a rollOver and rollOut function on. This makes it swap between frame 1 and 2 (2 beeing the frame with dropdown). Here's the issue: When I have the rollOver/Out function on the main item, the submenu items don't do anything when clicked. But when I remove the rollOver/Out function and just go directly to frame to from start, they work.
View 1 RepliesI'm currently working on an AS3 scripted drop down menu and for the most part it works exactly like I had envisioned with one small hiccup. The issue I have is if you accidentally navigate away from a button that creates one of my drop downs before the script has finished running the other drop down buttons will drop down but not be active until you go back to the original button and finish the script. What I believe will fix the problem is to disable the other main menu buttons until the script has finished. I could just disable at the beginning of the script and enable at the end but there are 5 flyouts and 9 buttons on the main menu. This would add up to a ton of extra code. So how could I create a block of code that disables the buttons and another block that will enable them at the end of the script but be able to call them in each script?
And here is my site that I'm currently working on. [URL]
Building 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. I can get the submenu to drop down ok but I cant figure out how to get it to link (jump) to a new frame/scene. I think problem is in function showSubMenu? Flash CS4, AS3
Code:
// SETTINGS
// Make submenu buttons hidden
btn_Set.btn_Set1.visible = false;
btn_Set.btn_Set2.visible = false;
// Add event listeners for main button
