Creating Advanced Navigation Menu
Hello all,
I am having trouble building an advanced navigation . What i'd like to happen is that when you rollover item A in navigation bar, then menu A pulls out to the side. IF you then rollover item B in the nav bar, then menu A pulls back in and menu B pulls out. I suppose I'd have to use variables to store values, like which menu is open. Not sure.
Any help is much appreciated.

Creating A Menu/navigation Point For A Website
hey! well, i am somewhat new to flash, and macromedia products. i am currently attempting to use flash, dreamweaver, and fireworks/photoshop to build a website. i am trying to make a flash toolbar/menu/navigation point opr whatever like the one shown here. But unfortunatley i am not sure where to even begin. I want it to absically look just like that and operate that way but be different colors, to match my site. anyway, i ahd the idea and started looking for sites that might have had it and i found that one. so thast what i want to make, would someone be able to tell me how or point me to somewhere where i may be able to learn to do this? i have tried the tutorials but havnt found one yet that shows me how... also, this isnt really related to flash, but when i amke a site, like the site above, i am trying to make it so that when you click on different links the url in the address bar doesnt change. how do you do that?
thats just a side thing, the most important question is the flash one, so can someone help me out?
thanks for your time.

Problem Creating A Draggable Navigation Menu With Dynamic Buttons
Dear All,
I am trying to create a draggable navigation menu in which the menu items are dynamic. For the time being the text of the menu items is stored in a script variable as comma seperate values.
The buttons are created within a movieclip which is created on the _root object. So far it works fine. But the moment I add the code to make the button container movie clip draggable, the buttons lose their mouse interactivity. The buttons no more respond to mouse events like onRollOver, onRollOut etc.
Attached is the code that I used:
Code:
//setProperty("btndyn.swf", _x, "600");
stop();
//
// Color for button text.
//nbrBtnTextColor = 0xFFCC99;
nbrBtnTextColor = 0x000000;
nbrBtnTextColorOver = 0xCCCCCC;
// Size for text on button.
nbrBtnTextSize = 12;
// Color for button background in UP state.
nbrBtnClrUp = 0x006699;
// Color for button in OVER state.
nbrBtnClrOv = 0x000066;
// Color for button in deactivated state ("you are here" indication).
nbrBtnClrOff = 0x999999;
// Space between buttons.
nbrBtnGutter = 3;
// Button interior margins.
nbrBtnMrgLeft = 2;
nbrBtnMrgRight = 2;
nbrBtnMrgTop = 1;
nbrBtnMrgBottom = 1;
btnMinWidth = 88;
btnMinHeight = 15;
// ====================================================================
// Create TextFormat for button textfields
tfmBtnText = new TextFormat();
tfmBtnText.align = "left";
tfmBtnText.color = nbrBtnTextColor;
// See library for font object and it's linkage properties.
tfmBtnText.font = "Arial";
tfmBtnText.size = nbrBtnTextSize;
// Create TextFormat for button mouseover textfields
tfmBtnTextOver = new TextFormat();
tfmBtnTextOver.align = "left";
tfmBtnTextOver.color = nbrBtnTextColorOver;
// See library for font object and it's linkage properties.
tfmBtnTextOver.font = "Arial";
tfmBtnTextOver.size = nbrBtnTextSize;
// ====================================================================
// Delimited string of all button text.
stgBtnText = "About Us|Design|Our Work";
// Split above string to an array.
rraBtnText = stgBtnText.split("|");
// ====================================================================
// Create navigation container clip (makes moving the whole thing around a lot easier).
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mvcNav", 0);
//mvcNav._x = 10;
//mvcNav._y = 10;
//mvcNav.createEmptyMovieClip("navContainer", 1);
//_root.createEmptyMovieClip("navContainer", 0);
/*
navContainer.onPress = function(){
startDrag(this)
};
navContainer.onRelease = function(){
stopDrag();
}
*/
//navContainer.setMask("menu.png");
// ====================================================================
// Loop to create buttons and all interior objects.
for (icrBtn=0; icrBtn<rraBtnText.length; icrBtn++) {
// Create clip to hold button and reference to it (saves on typing and redundant concatenation).
rfcBtn = mvcNav.createEmptyMovieClip("mvcBtn"+icrBtn, 0);
// Store button's number inside button's own timeline (used later).
rfcBtn.nbrID = icrBtn;
// Create textfield at depth of 2, so background and outlines can go under it.
rfcBtn.createTextField("tfdBtn", 2, nbrBtnMrgLeft, nbrBtnMrgTop, 1, 1);
// Create reference to textfield (can't be done on single line, like movieclips).
rfcTfd = rfcBtn.tfdBtn;
// Apply textformat to textfield.
rfcTfd.setNewTextFormat(tfmBtnText);
// Set textfield properties, including text to display.
rfcTfd.autoSize = "left";
rfcTfd.embedFonts = true;
rfcTfd.selectable = false;
// Assign text from array to textfield in button.
rfcTfd.text = rraBtnText[icrBtn];
//
// Calculate button width & height based on current dimensions
// (dimensions of textfield) plus interior margins.

Help With Navigation Thanks In Advanced
UGH! I cannot figure this out and its starting to drive me mad. The solution I'm looking for cannot be that hard to get to work, I just dont have the experience to figure it out.
Attached is the .fla
basically what i want:
there are 6 links on the navigation. two of them (company and portfolio) I want to have submenus. I would like to set it up so that when the user clicks on the "company" clip the lower btns will drop down and the submenu will come in... then in order to remove the submenu, just click on the "company" btn again
I've been able to get part of this effectively, but now when you roll off of the company btn the submenu disappears and the company btn snaps back to its _up state. .
I'm sure its just me missing something simple. I just cannot figure it out. I appreciate anyone that has the time to look at the file for me... and help me out. I'll be honest with you its probably a bit crazy in the fla, let me know if you need me to clarify anything.
and maybe if you can provide me some suggestions when trying to set up a navigation clip like this. Thanks again for your help.
I'm getting better with this stuff... I just sometimes have a hard time visualizing what clips i need and where to make something like this work.

NAVIGATION Questions For The ADVANCED
I have a menu tab Navigation (MC) that contains 8 buttons that will link you to different parts of the Main Timeline for then an External SWF file will load. So far that works..
Here we go ..The Navigation (MC) is a menu tab located on your left hand side. As you click on the tab, the entire menu navigation animates out displaying all 8 buttons. Ones you click on either one of those buttons the Navigation (MC) slides back to its normal stage. By the same time you are being link to a different part of the Main Timeline.
What I would like to accomplish is the following...
For the user to link to X button and ones the user has been link to the X "Frame Label" for he/she to be able to click on the Navigation and see the X on the menu HIGHLITED. I like for the Navigation to act as an indicator to show the viewer were they are in the Timeline.
The thing is that the Navigation animates out from the left hand side..so I really can not figure out a way for it to animate and have the X be highlighted as it is being animated out from the left.

See URL - Advanced Button Navigation
I'm trying to create a similar, vertical hierarchical sliding button/navigation sequence on my website as the one you'll fine here:
http://www.killzoneps2.com/index_en_GB.html
Click on menu on the top left, and then "multimedia". What I want to do is something like what the screenshots, audio, and video sections are doing there, except have them on the bottom instead of the top, and have them open upward to display an image or a site section, much like these do.
I really don't need it to be as slick, and anything I can do to start off with would be a big help. I just really don't even know where to begin.
Thank you in advance,

Advanced Buttons Navigation Problem
hey guys, this seems real simple.
i have a navigation that has a color fade in when you roll over the buttons, then it is supposed to fade out when you roll out of the button. if i go real slow it does it right.
now the buttons themselves are all the same button but the tell target movie clip for the tell target fade is differant for every button. the problem is i got it to fade in just fine but if i go off the button kind of fast it stays solid red (it fades in the color but it just stays there instead of fading out) now i know you can fix this with some complicated if statments to see if the mouse is over the button. i was wanting an easier answer though. (i dont know much about actionscript) this project is in flash 5.

Probs W/ Advanced Tabbed Navigation (flash)
Hi,
I bought The Flash Anthology and went straight to Chapt. 2 (Navigation Systems) to try out the advanced tabbed navigation exercise.
I've run into a couple problems, perhaps I've missed something.
In my first attempt I got the tabs to go up and down as needed on mouse over and mouse out. I still never saw any text (I later found out the text was white on a white background). Did I inadvertantly set the text color to white somewhere? NOTE: I hand copied the AS from the book.
On my second attempt, the text shows up fine but the tabs do NOT rise when moused over. NOTE: here I tried to save some time and copied the AS from the code archive and pasted it into my actions panel. Since the sample tabs.fla file works perfectly, I thought copying this code would give me the same result. If I've added all the pertinent AS, why won't the tabs move when moused over? Help is much appreciated.

Button And MC Navigation Problem. Advanced Actionscript Question..
I am having a problem with a navigation system that I am trying to create. The general concept of the nav is that
when a user rolls over any link on the nav bar a menu
slides down. When they roll off the menu retracts. The
problem that I am having is that when they roll from one
link to another the motion on the previous link just stops.
I want to set it up so that if they move from one link
to another each animation cycle of the menu expanding and retracting completes. Here is the code I am using...
Button:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay ("menuSlideBegin1");
}
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay ("menuSlideEnd1");
}
MC:
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.navMenu1._y = -120;
endPosy = 78;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
currentPosy = _root.navMenu1._y;
diffPosy = endPosy-currentPosy;
movey = diffPosy/3;
_root.navMenu1._y = _root.navMenu1._y+movey;
}
I appreciate anyones help....

FLASH HELP FOR CREATING ADVANCED ROLL-OVER STATES
FIRST OFF, Can i email you my flash file as it exceeds your forums limit???
If you click on "HIV" button, you'll see that when u roll-over each state,
you will see a picture of a difierent person along
with their bio. Now, I have created about 10 fla.
files for each person & linked it to the states using
"behaviors, then attach external movie clip." I was
wondering if i can make that simpler & have flash just
pull in one file as I will have 10 photos on each
button!!! That's about a 100 flash files. Does that
make sense?
ALSO, if you roll-over CA as a state, you will see a
yellow label called "Batterman" hover right over
thestate, BUT IT IT TRANSPARENT....I want thiis to be
sitting on top as I will have to create labels for all
states this way too....any idea how to create this as
well?

Advanced Menu
Hey everyone - long time viewer, first time poster. (Sorry, had to be said)
I was wondering can anyone give me a hand or point me in the right direction for a website menu I'm making in flash. I know enough actionscript to get by but i can't find any resources anywhere for what I'm trying to do.
Basically I want to make a menu with drop down sections when you click on the buttons. I can normally do this no problem but the effect i want to get for this paticular one is when you click on another of the buttons the drop down menu that is currently activated rolls back up into the menu before the next one comes down. The only way I can think of doing it is animating for every possible outcome which, as my menu needs 8 buttons, would require 56 movie clips of every possible combination a user could click in, and that's slightly more of an undertaking than I'm willing to commit to! Hope I'm making sense decribing it, any help would be much apreciated.

Advanced Menu Help...
Heres my problem. I want to have a menu that moves down the content (which is loaded from an external SWF) and reveal a menu. THe thing is I want it to look smooth when u click on the different buttons.
Basically, I want to know if I can have one external SWF that has a menu and the content but the content would load ANOTHER Swf. So it would be an external swf loaded in an external swf. Thats not that big of a deal but the thing is I want the main container (has menu and content container) to have the transitions explained in the tutorial here. The only really confusing the is I want to make it so when the main container loads a different swf (for a difffernt menu) to keep the current swf loaded in the sub container. I dont want it to have to load again or change to a default SWF. I will try to make a diagram for you guys to better understand me.
Main Container (Has Buttons that when clicked, lowers the content, that is loaded external in a sub container, which reveals a sub menu that changes depending on what button is changed)
When a sub menu is clicked the 'content' container loads another swf.
I know is complicated but u guys probably know what I'm talking about. Thanks very much.

Advanced XML Menu
I am using this fine XML-Driven Drop-down menu by senocular and I have tried to add the following: as soon as you click on something, the menu disappears and the only thing left are the active(chosen) items on each navigation level. In other words, if you choose food>vegetables>carrots, the menu disappears and you only see these three words standing on _y top position, next to each other:
food vegetables carrots. On mouse over the menu becomes visible again and these three have to be back in their original _y position in the menu.
Would you do this with the original menu items by hiding all the rest and moving these three up or would you hide the whole menu and use additional text fields to write the names of the active items?
Whatever the way, I've tried and just can't do it. Any help will be most appreciated.

Advanced Flash Menu
I'll be honest and not beat around the bush here. I need to create a menu system in Flash 5 that behaves much like the one at:
http://www.thebeatles.com
Look at the enhanced site and you'll see a navigational tool to the left that is like a 3D sphere of menu items. I could build this in Flash myself, but I'd rather cut down my production time by getting a source FLA to work off of.
Any ideas or FLAs?

Advanced Dropdown Menu
Hey ppl. I'd like to make an advanced dropdown menu. It should work like this. There are a couple of items in it:
chapter1
- subchapter 1
- subchapter 2
- subchapter 3
Chapter2
Chapter3
- subchapter 1
- subchapter 2
- subchapter 3
It should work like this: When you go with your mouse over chapter 1, this item should expand, when you go with your mouse to chapter 3, chapter1 must collapse and chapter 3 has to expand, and so on and so on.
I have searched the hole internet to find an example --> negative.
Anyone can help me with an example or maybe explain how stuff like this could be done ?

Advanced Menu System
I have a site wide flash only navigation bar. Right now, I have seperate movies for each additional page so when the html page loads, the flash movie will be in the correct state. I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to action script the movie so that I do not have to load a different movie every time a new page loads? I would like to be able to code in for example... if user clicks on - link x the movie should load y.html - a page with the movie embedded and goto scene 2, frame 20 of the embedded movie.
Is this even possible?
Anyone have an answer let me know at

Advanced Right-click Menu
What I'm trying to do is creating a right click menu that has sub-menus (so a user can use the right click menu to navigate the entire site). What I'm aiming for is something similar to the quality menu (which has options inside of it). Does anyone have any idea how to do this?

Advanced XML Drop Menu
Hey guys, I've got a tough one (for me atleast ). I'm trying to get a drop down menu to populate from an XML document. I have categories and sub categories. I have included the XML, and the AS so that you should just be able to copy/past and see what it's doing. Sorry I forgot to put this in the title, I'm working in Flash 8
Here is the XML:
<?xml version="1.0"? encoding="UTF-8"?>
<menu>
<categories>
<main name="web desgins" sub="true">
<sub name="category 1"/>
<sub name="category 2"/>
<sub name="category 3"/>
<sub name="category 4"/>
<sub name="category 5"/>
<sub name="category 6"/>
</main>
<main name="flash" sub="true">
<sub name="category 1"/>
<sub name="category 2"/>
<sub name="category 3"/>
<sub name="category 4"/>
</main>
<main name="video" sub="false"/>
<main name="audio" sub="false"/>
<main name="test new" sub="false"/>
</categories>
</menu>
The flash I've got is (sorry it's quite lengthy):
var spacing:Number = new Number();
var menu_spacing:Number = new Number();
menu_spacing = 25;
spacing = 1.5;
function loadMenu(my_xmlmenu){
var categories = my_xmlmenu.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
for(var i = 0; i < categories.length; i++){
var currCat = categories[i].attributes.name;
var hasSub = categories[i].attributes.sub;
var currCat_mc = menu.createEmptyMovieClip("cholder"+i, +i, i);
currCat_mc._x = menu._x - 40;
currCat_mc._y = (i*(menu_spacing/spacing)) + 25;
if(hasSub == "true"){
var subCat = my_xmlmenu.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.childN odes;
for(var j = 0; j < subCat.length; j++){
var currSub = subCat[j].attributes.name;
var currSub_mc = menu.createEmptyMovieClip("sholder"+j, (+j + categories.length), j);
currSub_mc._x = currCat_mc._x + 15;
currSub_mc._y = 40 + (j/spacing * currCat_mc._y);
currSub_mc.createTextField("scat", +j, 0, 0, 0, 0);
currSub_mc.scat.text = currSub;
currSub_mc._visible = false;
var sformat = new TextFormat();
sformat.color = 0xFFFFFF;
sformat.font = "_sans";
sformat.bold = true;
sformat.size = 12;
currSub_mc.scat.autoSize = true;
currSub_mc.scat.selectable = false;
currSub_mc.scat.setTextFormat(sformat);
};
};
currCat_mc.createTextField("mcat", +i, 0, 0, 0, 0);
currCat_mc.mcat.text = currCat;
var mformat = new TextFormat();
mformat.color = 0xFFFFFF;
mformat.font = "_sans";
mformat.bold = true;
mformat.size = 12;
currCat_mc.mcat.autoSize = true;
currCat_mc.mcat.selectable = false;
currCat_mc.mcat.setTextFormat(mformat);
};
};
var my_xmlmenu:XML = new XML();
my_xmlmenu.load("menu.xml");
my_xmlmenu.ignoreWhite = true;
my_xmlmenu.onLoad = function(success){
if(success){
loadMenu(my_xmlmenu);
};
};
I've got it to populate the main menu and the first subMenu ok, but the problem I'm running into is that it's reading the second subMenu ("flash") as having 6 categories rather than 4. I'm not sure whats happening in the for(){} that is causing this, but I can't figure it out. Also it will populate the first, but not the second subMenu (even with the incorrect number of categories), and changes the spacing of the first for some reason.
Also I want to add onRelease() events to the main menu to display/hide the subMenus with tween() effects, and am at kind of a loss as how to do that. I have tried putting the onRelease() in either of the for(){}, or outside of both, but it didn't quite work so I'm not quite sure where to put it.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

[F9] Creating A Navigation Bar
Hi!
I'm new to this forum and relatively new to Flash. I'm working in Flash CS3 and am creating a navigation bar for a website. The first page of the site is located here: http://www.williamsonthelake.com/New_site/index.html.
I'm having difficulty figuring out how to make the submenu choices disappear when navigating away from them. Currently, they only disappear when rolling over other menu choices.
There is probably a very easy way to do this, but I have not found it yet. Any help would be great!
Thanks.

Creating Navigation
Hello
I've been wondering if there is any good tutorial online which demonstrates how to build a simple navigation with just actionscript 3 in flash (with no or minimal symbols involved).
Many thanks for help!

Help Creating Navigation
Hi, I need to create a complex navigation, I don’t even have a clue is it possible or not….
Here is the deal:
White circles – menu items. On _mouse over_ one of the circles, the white square should move on a green line trajectory and the bottom part of the white square should be always parallel to green line (pic2).
That’s it =)
