Flex :: Menu/Submenu Navigation For IPad?
Mar 21, 2012
I just finished creating a large online flex app with 43 different screens. I am using a mx:MenuBar with four main menus and a couple of submenus to navigate between these screens.I am now trying to convert this into a iPad app as well, but the mx:MenuBar does not appear to be supported in mobile flex. Is there any way I can replicate this sort of navigation system in mobile flex? The user needs to be able to move between any of these pages at any time, and 43 tabs will obviously not work

Any tutorial for a simple vertical navigation menu with a submenu. Like a drop down menu but vertical where the main links are on the left and the submenues come out the right side of the menu. I don't need any bells and whistles and I am just learning so it doesn't need anything but a button link when rolled over more link options appear to the right. Is there a tutorial that is not a place trying to sell me this capability and actually works (CS3), no errors, broken links etc...just a how to for a simple menu with submenus.

have designed a menu that opens into a sub menu that in turn opens up to reveal another menu .the menu is split 5 times too reveal the submenu's the script to do this is a tween that at frame 6 opens the menu and 11 closes it.
This is replicated to form another sumenu
I have declared the menu instance as "menu"
I have declared the submenu instance as "subsect"
I have declared the button to open the submenu as "expander"
using the with action i have told the expanders to tell all the other submenu's to play the closing sequence so that the open menus close when a new menu is opened .this fails to work as the with action cannot find the target .the code on the expander button is as follows
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay(5);
with (_root.menu.subsect2) {gotoAndPlay(11); [code]............

How can I make sure a menu button name appears in a different colour when it is selected and stays that colour until the user navigates to another page?Example: My menu buttons have a dark brown font. I have changed the font colour to red on the 'down' state of the button setting. This means the users clicks on a menu, e.g. Gallery and the Gallery button turns red briefly. However, it doesn't stay red which is what I want.

I've been using sen's flash/xml drop-down menu tutorial, and I have been able to create the following for (mt):url...If you rollover the first item, you will notice that the submenu loads to the right side. What I would like to have is something similar to the following attached image. Also, the code I am using can be found in the attached FLA.I know how to make the menu appear directly below the parent node, but the problem is that I am unable to shift the menu items down so that the menu items don't overlap over the existing menu items. You can see an example of what I am trying to do in the attached image.Does anybody have any insight on how to accomplish that. I tried finding the name of each movie clip and shifting them downward, but it seems that none of the movie clip names correlate to the actual menu item - therefore, I am unable to shift them downwards in order to make a space for them.

I'm building a menu with action script, the menu has an interval, so the items follow after each other. This is not a real problem. But the submenu is. I want to build it the same way, with the interval. But the menu array contains, some years, and with a loop a go trough this array and flash builds it with the items of the array. The submenu array, contains the quantity of the year, so the quantity of subbuttons.. But i can't fix it to use the number in the array as quantity of subitems. here is the code:

I'm creating a flashwebsite and I've got a problem with submenu appearing/disappering. What is extremely easy in html/jquery is taking me overburned in actiuonscript: make appear a submenu only when the mouse cursor is over its button and not over itself. Indeed I've my button/MC, that contains its submenu (which is a vertical list of MC), and when I go over it, submenu appears, when I leave, sub menu becomes invisible.
BUT, when I go over the space under the button (where my invisible submenu is), submenu become visible another time. I know that cause is the listener associated to the main button is linked to all its nested MC.

I'm creating a menu from XML. It will be able to traverse over the XML recursively (so n-levels deep). The menu itself is a composite -- each node in the menu, either a menuList or menuItem, is a menuComponent. menuComponent is more-or-less an abstract class so they all inherit and override a draw() function. If the object is a menuList, then it has a Sprite container to hold all of it's children. I did this so it would be easy to add and remove all of it's children by just adding and removing a container that holds all of them.
The issue I'm having is with the event listeners. I am adding a mouse_over event to a button. The button is within a Sprite container. When I mouse over the button, I'm adding the submenu into the buttons container. The problem comes when I mouse out of the button. I've gotten the submenu to stay but not disappear on mouse_out OR it appears when I'm over the button but disappears as soon as I exit it. I THOUGHT if I attach the mouse_out listener to the container, it would work because the container should expand when I add the submenu into it.
ActionScript Code:
package as3 {
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.ErrorEvent;
import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;

url...I don't really know actionscript and I have two issues.Firstly, and most importantly, how can I make the submenu design different to the main menu? Specifically, I need the submenu items to have different y spacing, width, font heights & background. No probs doing a separate movieclip, but how do I assign a certain movieclip depending on whether it's a main menu or submenu item? Secondly, when the cursor moves off the movie, the last open submenu stays open! This happens in this site's example as well. It only closes when the cursor hits another main menu.

I'm trying to develope a simple elastic menu in AS3 but I have several problems because is difficult understand OOP when I come from AS2. I have a class named "menu" to create a vertical menu with n elements using a MovieClip from the library. It is linked properly as "base_primaria" and with MovieClip class as base class. Every element in the menu is in button mode and when is clicked calls a method (crearsub) to create a submenu.
I have another class named "submenu" that creates a submenu with n elements using a MovieClip from the library. It is linked properly as "base_secundaria" and with MovieClip class as base class. All the elements in the main menu must be relocated depending on the .y position and their .height. For that I'm using a method inside "menu" class named "posicionar". To animate the elements I use TweenLite. The first problem is I want to relocate all the elements through TweenLite and it is not working. Probably the "posicionar" function is wrong. The second problem is I want to click in one element from the main menu and it creates his own submenu. If there is one element with a submenu created, it must to disapear. All the elements must to relocate in real time in every click. Here the "menu" class code:

I want to build a flash based website and place there 4 button MovieClip instances. Once the user clicks a button, all the EventListeners the button attached to (Mouse_OVER, Mouse_OUT, CLICK) are removed until you click another one. Then the previous button gets these listeners back again. One button is always active at a time, so you can't turn on/off buttons.I thought it would be easier to write a ButtonClass and link the button MovieClip to it. But I had to realize that I can't listen that previous button from that class, because it only listens itself obviously. I'm trying to use "dispatchEvent" but I can't get it to work.In the flash movie I have only one frame, 'cause I'm trying to do this without the timeline. I want to use Classes and this and that to practice but I'm stuck with this problem.

I've been doing flash for a while, but I've never been good at coding. I'm trying to make a navigation bar for a website that follows the path of a mouse. Some examples are below: [URL] I'm looking to create something similar, however instead of having a bar slide through, I think I want an animated mask.
I want to set a default background image behind the text of the buttons, and a mask that fades out ontop of the background layer but behind the text. For those who don't understand... imagine a flashlight being pointed at a wall in a pitch black room. The circular source of light gives light to the background.Different from the examples above, I need to figure out how to make it follow the mouse exactly, instead of jumping to the next button automatically? I also suck at masks, but I'll be able to look that up. Are they animatable, or should I use a layer that is semi transparent in a circular area?

see the attached file for reference. A couple of things :I have a selection bar moving down or up 25 pixels on press, but it seems to be adding 2 pixels on each successive move, how do I get it to respect the 25 pixel movement restriction?
While the selection bar is moving, you can press the button again, breaking the code and sending the bar off the screen. Ive tried to solve this with a boolean (var moving) to tell whether the bar is moving or not, and thus prevent the movement code from running. However, once the bar has stopped, I cannot get it out of the moving = true state, to move the bar again.
edit: "I'd like to add a movement tween to the bar..." There is a thread above about this, plus millions of examples around the web.

I am an intermediate flash user and need to create navigation for my flash project. Basically what I have is one swf with several scenes and I need a small pop up menu with clickable buttons to jump to different scenes. I know scenes are not generally recommended, but I cannot load separate swfs due to technological constraints at my company. The way my project is set up is like one continuous movie that plays from start to finish. I don't need a player controls or anything. I have divided it into scenes to make it easier to work on the fla.
It starts and plays through to the end, one scene after the next. What I want is a small menu button at the bottom that when clicked pops open a list of buttons that can be clicked to jump to and play a different scene. It never stops or anything, just jumps to and plays the chosen scene. I have created a movieclip with a menu button and the pop up list with buttons. I can get the list to open and close, but it won't jump to a different scene. Is this because it is in a movieclip?
