I've just started learning as3 and I've been trying to find a good tutorial on dropdown menu's using just xml and as3. Most of what I've come across so far are either static menus or menus driven with heavy use of the timeline. Is it even possible to build a nice fluid drop down menu completely in code?

Is there a way to completely get rid of that right click drop down menu and use it for something else Eg. scrolling
View 2 RepliesI need help coding this menu system and cant find any tutorials or templates on multi level (4) drop downs. I dont know weather to make everything a movie clip and load the mc's or to place buttons inside a movie clip. Everthing will be onrollover.
View 1 RepliesI have been given a site to update/improve, which uses many AS1 and AS2 elements, and my team likes a piece of AS3 I've found for a fluid layout which tweens the site container to the centre of the browser's window, and we want to keep it.But at the moment, I have to load the AS1 site into an AS3 container in order to make this work, and this means we lose the deep linking, and it's really cumbersome loading 1 thing into another which is loaded into another...
Sooo, I was hoping someone knows how to translate this AS3 code into AS1/2. Is this possible? Does AS1/2 have the appropriate tween/ease classes? Here's what the container page looks (please ignore the commented out sections).siteLoader is the MC i'm loading the main site's SWF into. AS1 would also make this much simpler with loadMovie command.
ActionScript Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;[code].......

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 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'm having a small problem trying to build a simple little Menu Bar. I'm trying to make it so that if I click on one button (Movie Clip) it will make it look different, and then if I click on a DIFferent button (Movie Clip) it will make the old one normal, and the new one look like it is selected.
I tried doing so by creating a function that checked what page I'm currently in, and changed the look of the MCs accordingly, but when I run it, I keep getting the following error[code]...

I am following an online tutorial to build a horizontal menu bar in AS3. In the tut, they are using MovieClips, but for what I want to achieve I am using buttons.
Here is their code.
Select allfunction navOverF(event:MouseEvent):void{
event.target.filters = [navBtnGlow];
navBar_mc.setChildIndex(event.target as MovieClip, 1);
dropMenus_mc.gotoAndStop(navBar_mc.getChildAt(1).name);
trace("We are rolling over..." + navBar_mc.getChildAt(1).name);
}
I have worked out that the issue is in line three "(event.target as MovieClip, 1)", but how do I change this code to work with buttons?

View 3 RepliesI just signed up and am fairly new to flash so I hope I'm posting in the right spot. 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?
