Flash :: Dropdown Rootmenu In Flash MX

Form Dropdown Help, One Dropdown Works How Do I Code The Other ?
I have a form with 2 comboboxes. One mc is comboselect the other comboselect2. My php code is:

<?php
$sendTo = "myemail@email.com";
$subject = "Contact Flash Form";
$headers = "From: $name<$email>
Reply-To:$email";
$message = "1.Name:$name
4.Email:$email
5.Contact Address:$address
6.Inquiry:$temp
7.Comments:$com ments";
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers, $category);
?>

the flash AS on submit button is:
on (release) {
trace(name+'
'+email+'
'+address+'
'+temp+'
'+ comments);
}
on (release) {
loadVariablesNum("contacts.php", 0, "POST");
_root.nextFrame();
}

the flash AS on one of the comboboxes is:
this.stop();
myData = new Array('New York', 'Beverly Hills', 'Miami', 'other');
for (i=0; i<myData.length; i++) {
comboselect.addItem(myData[i], i);
}
function comboDisplay(component) {
temp = component.getSelectedItem().label;
}
comboselect.setChangeHandler("comboDisplay");

2nd combobox AS:
this.stop();
myData = new Array('10mil', '50mil', '100mil');
for (i=0; i<myData.length; i++) {
comboselect2.addItem(myData[i], i);
}
function comboDisplay(component) {
temp = component.getSelectedItem().label;
}
comboselect2.setChangeHandler("comboDisplay");

only info comes through is for the 2nd combobox - 10mil, 50mil, or 100mil
what do I need to add to the PHP and AS to have the other combobox info be emailed ?

Flash Dropdown X And Y
Hi,
I am attaching movies through linkage i my library, and that part is working fine. They are loading into an empty movie clip. The attached movie that loads has a couple dropdown boxes in it, and when I click on the dropdown box, the contents of the drop down has a different X, Y coordinate. It hangs out all the way to the left of the screen top justified? Is there a way to force an X,Y for the drop down, or have it not do that. Below is my attach movie code.

_root.attachMovie("Sarasota", "hotel_loader_info", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:442.0, _y:11.5});

the attached clip "Sarasota, has a form with dropdown boxes on its frame2.

Thanks for your help

One Dropdown Affects A Second Dropdown, HOW?
i have an HTML form where one dropdown (DEPARTMENT) causes another dropdown (AUTHORIZE) to to have it's contents changed.

For example, if the user selects 'Accounting' from DEPARTMENT, then in the AUTHORIZE dropdown, only Accounting department names appear. The user then has to select one of the names.

I want to do the same thing in a flash form, can I just copy and paste my scripts? I am using arrays.

ANY help is greatly appreciated!!!!!
THANKS!

Dropdown Menu Help In Flash MX
Hi,

I'm having serious difficulties trying to make my dropdown menu work. I've gotten the whole movie clip so that when I mouse over it, it shows the other three subcategories, but when I click in either one of them they don't connect to the other scenes of my project...

I've make such sub-buttons to be tracked as menu items, and tracked as buttons and none of these options work. Each one of these sub-buttons have a "on release" action script "to go to and stop" on frame 1 of x,y, or z scenes...

Basically my sub-buttons are dead as a tired donkey!

I need help, I've been dealing with this for weeks.

Thanks community!

Flash Dropdown Banner Ads
I'm sure everyone has seen the "New" types of banner ads, which are flash movies being played OVER existing content. There are examples everywhere.

You'll go to a web site, the HTML content will load, and then all of a sudden an ad for MASTERCARD will show up out of knowhere.

Does anyone know how to do this? Or at least, does anyone know how to create a flash movie with NO background color or a TRANSPARENT background. I can get a flash movie to pop up on a page ... but I'd like to make it so that the HTML page will "peek" through the transparent part of my Flash movie.

Any ideas?

[F8] Flash Dropdown Navigation
Hello all;

Having trouble with dropdowns sticking in Flash (mouse not registering rollout/rollover correctly) -

I'm currently using a mc rollover function that tells another mc to dropdown; with a hit-test to tell the dropdown not to go away when you rollout of the initial mc onto the dropdown mc;

Code:
this.onRollOver = function(){
gotoAndPlay("btnOver");
_root.1_roll_mc.gotoAndPlay("Down");
}

this.onRollOut = function(){

this.gotoAndPlay("btnOut");

if (_root.hitTest(_root.1_roll_mc._xmouse, _root.1_roll_mc._ymouse, true)) {
_root.1_roll_mc.gotoAndPlay("9")
}

else if (_root.hitTest(_root.1_roll_mc._xmouse, _root.1_roll_mc._ymouse, false)) {
_root.1_roll_mc.gotoAndPlay("Up");
}

}

I also tried a series of if, then statements to eliminate the sticking, saying when you rollover this movie clip, tell all other movieclips to go away;

Code:
on (rollOver) {
if (_root.2_roll_mc._currentframe == "9") {
_root.2_roll_mc.gotoAndPlay("Up");
}

else if (_root.2_roll_mc._currentframe == "1") {
_root.2_roll_mc.gotoAndStop("1");
}}
I got some of these ideas in posts, but haven't eliminated the issue.

Basically I'm trying to understand the most error-proof way of doing these dropdowns as this is my first all-flash site design.

An example I found (http://80.ufc.com/) works really well, I figure it uses some other scripting as well.

Thanks-

Dropdown Submenu Over A Flash Movie?
Hello all,

With the help of Fireworks, I have a JavaScript navigation bar across the top of my site in one table and a FlashMX movie (.swf file) directly below it in another table. The nav bar has dropdown menus on mouse over and these are the problem...

I want the dropdown submenus to drop OVER my .swf movie and they're consistently dropping down behind the Flash movie thereby hiding the menu choices.

Is it at all possible to force my submenus to drop down over the top of my FlashMX movie? How would I accomplish this little miracle? Modification of the JavaScript or the Flash movie?

TIA!!

Flash Sitting UNDER An HTML Dropdown?
I have flash (that lives in a DHTML) layer, that appears after a few seconds. That works fine, the problem is that there is an HTML dropdown menu on the page as well, and it sits above the flash layer. I need my Flash to sit above EVERYTHING on the page. I thought that no matter what, flash will ALWAYS sit on top of HTML in IE.

I searched the threads here in FK and found that what I am having trouble with should not be happening. The threads I have read were from people that did NOT want their Flash to be on top of the HTML drop down, but it was. this is weird...

Please help!

Thanks!

Getting Flash Dropdown To Display Over HTML
I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I'd really appreciate anybody's input.

At http://www.echobloom.com/index2.php I've got a dropdown menu that, with all menu options fully extended is ~210 px tall (the main menu options themselves are only about 35 px tall). I'm trying to get the HTML elements in the page to display directly under the main menu options, as opposed to under the entire menu (which sort of defeats the purpose of the dropdown) - but I can't get my Flash to display ontop of the HTML.

Right now, there are essentially two elements - the Flash menu is in a div, which is at a z:index of 2. The HTML element is in a div with a z:index of 1, position:relative, and bottom:160px;. The HTML keeps appearing in front of the menu. Any helpful ideas?

I have a flash dropdown menu, when i try to incorporate in my htm page as -

<table>
<tr><td><embed ... menu.swf> </embed></td></tr>

<tr><td><img src="main.jpg"></td></tr>

leaving significant white space between both rows, same problem also comes when the next <TR>
contains some another flash file.

I would like to have dropdown to appear on that image or on flash file as we see normally

thanks in advance

Flash Moive Blocks My Dropdown Menu
Hi,

I have a dropdown menu that is coded by javascript and HTML. Everything works well, such as the hidden/visible layers. However, I have a flash movie below the menu. Whenever the dropdown menu overlaps with the flash movie, the menu will be hidden by the flash movie. I tried to use CSS to set the flash movie to the lowest layer, and made the dropdown menu on top of the flash movie, but the movie still blocks the menu. This only happens on PC. On Mac browsers, I don’t encounter this kind of problem. Does anyone have a solution for me?

Please take a look at the website, then you will understand better.

I am making a website with a simple top menu (the links have drop down menus). Right below, i placed a flash banner which plays a short movie. (the structure is similar to the adobe.com site). I have already embedded the flash correctly but my problem is that the drop down menus don't show when the flash banner is inserted in the html page.

For the drop down menus, i used a simple one which i got from dynamic drive.
They work just fine without the flash banner.

Any help would be appreciated.

Flash Dropdown Menu Links Do Not Work
What I am trying to do is this:
A Flash drop down menu - I have
A MovieClip instance "servicesMCinst" with
CODE
// dropem is a label at frame 10
servicesMCinst.onRollOver = function() {
servicesMCinst.gotoAndStop("dropem");
}
// start is a label at frame 1
servicesMCinst.onRollOut = function() {
servicesMCinst.gotoAndStop("start");
}
END CODE
and similar for another one or two more MC instances.
For each MC at frame 10 (ie. "dropem") I have included some buttons below
each other.
each of the buttons has the code:
CODE
on(release){
getURL("http : // somewhere ");
}
END CODE

When I test, the showing and hiding of the dropdown buttons is fine
BUT
The buttons are not acting as a button acts ie.
There is no change in its mouse normal view vs mouse over view (or mouse
down view)
Also the getURL is not performed.

I guess it is simply just NOT recognising the mouse.

This has caused me so much time and effort, I would so much appreciate any
help you are prepared to give me.

Insert Dropdown Menu In Flash File
I have one Flash file that simply has a JPEG map as a background image. Then I have another file with a dropdown menu. Can I save a swf file of the drop down menu, import it into my map Flash file, then place it on top of the map?

If so, please explain how. I've tried importing a swf of the dropdown into the map file library, then dragging it onto the map. However, it imports as a graphic symbol rather than a movie and the dropdown function doesn't work. (The menu works perfectly as a standalone swf).

I would like to keep the menu file separate as I need to make a bunch of different versions of the menu and drop them over different areas of the map.

The end product will look something like this menu that was built for me by a subcontractor. I'm trying to figure out how to do it myself rather than sub'ing it out.

Flash With Javascript Dropdown Menu - Level?
I know the answer to this, but I want to be sure I'm right.

I have a webpage with a JavaScript drop-down menu.

I have flash piece right below that JavaScript dropdown window.

When the user mouses over the JavaScript menu, the menu drops down and disappears behind the flash piece below it so that users cant see the options on the dropdown.

Any idea how to allow the JavaScript to pop up OVER the flash?

I was thinking the answer is: There is no way, as flash retain the top level of an HTML page in order to pass mouse commands.

Ideas?

Flash Google Adsense Ads Over Dropdown Menus
My vbulletin forum has adsense ads right under the navigation bar where the "quick links" and other drop down menus are.

Anyways, when Google shows flash based ads the drop down menus are hidden by the flash ad.

I've done some searching and found people talking about this line of code:
Quote:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

I must not understand how to use it because to me it looks like something you would have to add to the flash file which I have no access to since Google shows whatever ad they want.

Any help on this? What is the solution? Code examples would be awesome!

[Flash-AS3.0] Problem With Dropdown Menu Class
Hi everybody! i'm learning how to use classes, and i'm developing a set of classes which construct a "panel-kind" dropdown menu, driven by an XML file...

the concept i'm working on is this:

on the main timeline i have a function that reads the content of the menu.xml file, shown here
Code:

<menuset language="ENG">

<state ID="1" labelColor="0xB3B3B3"/>
<state ID="2" labelColor="0xFFFFFF"/>

<menuSpacing x="10" y="0"/>
<panelOptions alpha="0.5" round="10"/>

<menu ID="1" label=":Bitamine:" panelColor="0x00000" lineColor="0xFFFFFF">

<section label="News" labelColor="0xFF6600" ID="31"/>
<section label="Partners" labelColor="0xFFFFFF" ID="32"/>
<section label="Profile" labelColor="0xFFFFFF" ID="33"/>

</menu>

<menu ID="2" label="Portfolio" panelColor="0x000000" lineColor="0xFFFFFF">

<section label="Graphic" labelColor="0x00FF00" ID="12"/>
<section label="Webdesign" labelColor="0x00FF00" ID="22"/>
<section label="Misc." labelColor="0x00FF00" ID="23"/>

</menu>

<menu ID="3" label="Contact" panelColor="0x000000" lineColor="0xFFFFFF">

<section label="Contact" labelColor="0x0000FF" ID="34"/>

</menu>

<menu ID="4" label="Users" panelColor="0x000000" lineColor="0xFFFFFF">

<section label="Login" labelColor="0xFF0000" ID="41"/>
<section label="Register" labelColor="0xFF0000" ID="42"/>

</menu>

</menuset>

For each "menu tag", the function creates an instance of a "PanelMenu" class, and for each "section tag" of the menu, the PanelMenu creates an instance of a "PanelItem" class, which contains the label TextField and the ID information for the project page to call...

each "PanelItem" creates an instance of a class called "PanelEvent", which dispatches an event containing the ID of the PanelItem clicked... i think is the only way to do it, i am wrong?

i tested the whole system, and everything works as expected, but now i have the problem for which i ask for help here... i have to capture the event where the function for setting the page resides (on the main timeline) and i don't know how to do it...

here is the PanelEvent class
Code:

package {

import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.*

public class PanelEvent extends EventDispatcher
{
public var panelItemID:Number;
   public var panelItem:MovieClip;

public function PanelEvent(item:MovieClip, itemID:Number):void
   {
      panelItemID = itemID; trace(itemID);
      panelItem = item;
      panelItem.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dispatchID, false, 0, true);
}

private function dispatchID(evt:MouseEvent):void
   {
      trace("Dispatching event for PanelItem "+panelItemID);

dispatchEvent(new Event("PanelClick"));
}
}
}

the tracing of ("Dispatching event for PanelItem "+panelItemID) occurs, and i think also the dispatching o the event, but now, assuming i have to listen to the event to occur by the main timeline, how i have to do it? i think by writing

this.addEventListener("PanelClick", handleClick, false, 0, true)

isn't it?

please, help me understand, i'm new to classes writing, and' i'm stuck on this problem since a week....

any help will be really appreciated! THANK YOU
