How To Build This Menu?
I would like to build the menu illustrated below.
O -- o -- o -- O -- O
Each big O (button) contains a submenu (small o:s) of variable length.
When initialized, the first O's submenu will be visible and the others collpased.
When an O is clicked its submenu will be expanded and the others collapse.
I would like the whole menu to be built from an xml file and preferringly there should be some animation when submenus are expanded/collapsed.
If you have seen a pre-built menu component of this kind somewhere, I would be glad for a link (could cost ...)
thanks!

Help With Code - Build Menu
Trying to build an menu based on an external xml file. The XML is like:
Code:
< imc >
<menu title="menu" >
<submenu title="sub1" over="sub1" click="as1" />
<submenu title="sub2" over="sub2" click="as2" />
<submenu title="sub3" over="sub3" click="as3" />
</menu>
The actionscript I've got is:
Code:
imc = new XML();
imc.ignoreWhite = true;
imc.onLoad = getMenu;
function getMenu (){
theMenu = this.firstChild.firstChild;
numOptions = theMenu.childNodes.length;
menuHeight = numOptions * 20;
setProperty (_root.newmenu.menubg, _height, menuHeight);
_root.newmenu.menubutton.menuname = theMenu.attributes.title;
optionx = getProperty (_root.newmenu.menubutton, _x);
optiony = getProperty (_root.newmenu.menubutton, _y);
optiony = optiony + 18;
sub = theMenu.firstChild;
for (i=1; i<numOptions; i++){
sub[i] = sub;
_root.newmenu.menubutton.duplicateMovieClip (_root.newmenu.subMenu[i]);
_root.newmenu.subMenu[i].menuname = sub[i].attributes.title;
_root.newmenu.subMenu[i].onRollOver = function (){
_root.isay = sub[i].attributes.over;
}
_root.newmenu.subMenu[i].onRollOut = function (){
_root.isay = "";
}
_root.newmenu.subMenu[i].onPress = function (){
actionscript (sub[i].attributes.click);
}
setProperty (_root.newmenu.subMenu[i], _y, optiony);
setProperty (_root.newmenu.subMenu[i], _x, optionx);
optiony = optiony + 18;
sub = sub.nextSibling;
trace (sub.attributes.title);
}
}
imc.load ("imc.xml");
menuname is a dynamic text box in newmenu.menubutton. When I run this the menubg stretches. But no subMenu's are created and no menunames are applied.
Any help is appreciated

How To Build An Accordian Menu That Looks Like This...
Hi.

http://www.minershardware.com/
Note: this is a static nav bar. Does anyone have any example action script code that they can refer to that I may be able to easily utilize (I'm no Action Script expert but I am good at examining intuitive code and reutilizing it)

How Can I Build This Dynamic Menu?
Hello to all! This is my first posting on Kirupa in some time. I am trying to build a dynamic menu,that requires easy updates for images and links. The resolution for the navigation is 600px x 75px, with five links in the main area and a image area to the left of the links. When a link is clicked the image area loads the appropriate image for that link clicked, then sub-links will appear for the corresponding link.
I need to have all of the links and image field dynamic,so updates are easily accomplished, also the links will need to scroll horizontally when links are added. I have the interface already set up.....but just dont know where to start with the coding.
Thank you.

Build Menu Out Of Text File?
I would like to build some buttons out of an external text file.
My text file would look like this:
PHP Code:
nrOfButtons=2&button[1]=Home&button[2]=Contact
in the movie i would place some action script:
PHP Code:
myLV.load("menu.txt");
myLV.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace(this.nrOfButtons);
nrOfButtons = Number(this.nrOfButtons);
for(i=0;i<=nrOfButtons;i++)
{
trace(this.button[i]);
button[i]=this.button[i];
}
}
so now i have a variable with the number of buttons, and i know the button titles. But now what??? How can i build nrOfButtons under each other and give them the title's out of the array?

for (var i = 0; i<channels.length; i++) {
var cCode = channels[i].childNodes[0].childNodes;

Building A Menu - Need Insight On The Most Efficient Way To Build
Hello everyone,
I'm taking a nav system i previously used in HTML and converting it to Flash for ease-of-use. See the below link for an example of what i'm working with.
Mock HTML Navigation
I piddled around with Actionscript all night trying to dream of a way to get this thing working, but ran into one big issue. When one of the main categories is 'expanded', i can't figure out a effective way to get the other sections to fluently move with the group.
The desired result will be clicking a main section once to expand, and remain open until the section is cilcked again to condense (with the ability to have multiple categories 'expanded' at once).
Any insight to ways this project could be done would be greatly appreciated!
- RJ
p.s. much time was spent w/ the search engine trying to find a solution. even spent a good amount of time @ flashkit.com

Anybody Know A Way To Build A Vertical Scrolling Menu Dynamically Using Xml.
Yo, Ryan Mac here, have an interesting task to accomplish and am not that experienced in hard coding. Yup you could say Im a bit of a copier and paster.
Doing this furniture site - The navigation is a horizontal scroll menu, which includes small pics when clicked are loaded to a targetclip. Now I would like to figure out how to build the vertical scroll menu dynamically, so that I can just type the input text in an xml file, and the extra added item will be pulled from the images folder and appear on the vertical scroll menu, aswell as in the target clip.
You see, new furniture comes in everyday and time is of the essence, so I can't keep going into the source code and changing it. If I can specify it in the xml, and just add the extra pics to the images folder then I'm waxed.
Take a look at this site as an example, if you have the time.
www.cecilnurse.co.za - it's a good example of what I will achieve. Click through to one of the sections to view the effect.
Any help or code anything, just point me in the right direction.
Help me help you to make this internet an even more successful place!

Integrating External Files To Build Dynamic Menu
I am trying to add within my movie player( that is already built) a dynamically generated menu that will build the menues on the fly when reading the text file. If some one can help that would be wonderful. I have tried several tutorials but they don't seem to sink in. I am trying to call an external text file to dynamically build a menu. If someone can send me a sample fla source that would be perfect, especially if it describes what is happening. Thanks.

[AS 2.0] Error In Build-in/build-out Transition
I used the tutorial done by Voetsjoeba on "Transitions Between External SWFs" on my website to make transitions between content.
Everything is working ok, such as the transitions, but when the transition is starting to build in and you click another one of the buttons it temporarily disables the button that is clicked. So once the content has finished loading the button that was clicked during the load is inoperable. You must then must click one of the other buttons to reset it..
Here is the code that I used.. Since my buttons are not on the main stage I had to change it slightly so it would load the content into the container.
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "story";
_root.container.loadMovie("story.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "story") {
if (_root.container._currentframe >= container.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "story";
_root.container.play();
}
}
}
I have done everything in the tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions2.htm
to the T.. except for the extra stuff on my page..
Here is the link to my website:http://www.crusadeclad.com
I do have a bunch of stuff loading in on my main page, that eventually ends with a stop action at frame 165.. I dont think that has to do with it.. Please help if you can..

Help Build Me This
I've got a client who wants to pay us for a project. I am a flash hack, but the time has come to hang up my boots. This project is too complex. So - who can do this? email me at mycview@yahoo.com if you want to talk more. Admin - if this is posted in the wrong area - tell me where to post it in the future -
Project:
Client will give us a 8 - 12 minute voice presentation matched to a powerpoint presentation in which he describes his business. He wants to convert this to a 56k loadable, 8-10 minute flash presentation that has basic character animations synced to the voice track of his presentation. So, envision flash characters giving his speech, and also showing the highlights of his flash presentation in some novel way.
Oh yeah, 30 - 45day turnaround from next Tuesday :-)

Help What's The Best Way To Build This?
I have been asked by a client to build a website that has the following properties:
1) Menu items on the top and the side must be editable by the client. They would like to be able to add or subtract menu items at will.
2) text associated with these menu items in the center portion of the page must also be editable by the client.
What is the best way to build this? I am assuming XML may need to be involved, but the client mentioned ColdFusion as a possible solution. I am not familiar with actually using ColdFusion and mySQL databases, and I think there can eb an easier way to build this.
What would be your recommendations? I'd appriceate any feedback!

[F8] Trying To Build A Map
Hey,
So I've posted in the last few days without an answer (which is rare). I'm going to give it one more shot. I've taken a graphic of a map (converted to an MC) and placed it under a mask about 1/4 the size of the map. I have a drag function as well as buttons to increase and decrease the map size. What I would like to do is make sure the map when zoomed out does NOT come outside of the mask and show the background.
I tried setting the (l,r,b,t,) coordinates but as you can imagine when I zoom in the map moves almost no were.
Any suggestions? I'm just looking for ideas or thoughts. Anything would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

My First As3 Build
Just wondering if someone could take a quick look at my attached fla and see if they can tell me where I am going wrong?
I've basically pieced together a gallery (yes i know sorry) from two tutorials. There is a scrollable list of thumbnails which then load the large image above them.
It all works fine really apart from when you click on a thumbnail for a brief moment the large image area goes black, but then the image fades in as expected over the previous image.
I suspect its got something to do with it loading the current image into the background movieclip, as when i create the background movieclip it is given a color or black.
But as to how i get around this I am stuck.
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sean

How Can I Build-in HIT And DOWN To MC
I would like to be able to have the following properties for a MovieClip and I don't know how to go about it. It seems that I am always checking hitTest or onRollOver and it would just be simpler if they were intrinsic properties of every MovieClip. So basically there would be:
instance_MC._hit:Boolean; //checks if mouse is over the clip
instance_MC._down:Boolean; //checks if mouse is down on the clip.
So I though I had the _down property worked out by overRiding the onMouseDown event for the MovieClip prototype:
ActionScript Code:
MovieClip._prototype._onMouseDown=onMouseDown;
MovieClip.prototype.onMouseDown=function (){
this.dwn=true;
_onMouseDown();
}
But what about _hit. Do I need to override the hitTest method or should I override onEnterFrame?
(codeMonkey, where are you?--and all throughout the land a bright monkey light could be seen shining in the clouds)...
Thanks in advance for your input.

HELP Need To Build A Game..
Someone please help me! I have to build a game in flash. I'm a graphic artist...not a programmer and this game requires way too much programming and I can't find any help anywhere!
It's a game for kids learning to do simple math. I've posted about this game before and have recieved some help, but I need more. There is a gopher that goes back and forth across the screen and there are golfers that hit balls. The balls have different numbers, and the golfers are randomly hitting them. A randomly selected question is to appear in the right hand corner. The kid uses the mouse to move the gopher and catch the ball with the correct number. When they get it correct, they get 10 points. If they catch the wrong one, they get -10, and if they don't catch any and miss the right one, they get -5. There are 3 levels. After they get 100 points they are moved to the next level, and the balls get faster.
So far this is what I've got:
1. I have the score working.
2. I have 2 balls that come out for score testing purposes.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO ANY OF WHAT IS REQUIRED!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!
If anyone has done a game like this and can spare the fla, I would appriciate it. If not, any help would be so great.
