Flash :: How To Get The Value Of Drop Down Menu Component

Drop Down Menu Component
I have completed a tutorial for a drop down menu. I test the movie and clicking on a submenu item named Save under a main menu heading named File and using a trace action, correctly identifies the item as shown in the attached code. However, I don't know how to use this result to then proceed to a movie clip named "Save". (These are just sample names for my trials.) I would have thought if I put a movie clip named Save with a frame label "Save", I could just replace the trace (e) code with gotoAndPlay(e); The logic is working to a point, as when I do this, I get a compiler error saying there is no label "Save" on Scene 1, so Flash is attempting to find the correct target. This is the compiler message "[MenuEvent type="itemSelected" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 menuIndex=0 menuLabel="File" itemIndex=1 itemLabel="Save"]
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label [MenuEvent type="itemSelected" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 menuIndex=0 menuLabel="File" itemIndex=1 itemLabel="Save"] not found in scene Scene 1.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
at test_fla::MainTimeline/handleItemSelected()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at fl.example::MenuBar/fl.example:MenuBar::menuMouseHandler()"

I am wondering if a frame label and an indexLabel are two different things?

I am using Action Script 3 strictly. Anybody out there with any ideas?

Thank you.

Attach Code

import fl.example.*;

menuBar.addEventListener(MenuEvent.ITEM_SELECTED, handleItemSelected);
function handleItemSelected(e:MenuEvent):void {
trace(e);

}

[MenuEvent type="itemSelected" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 menuIndex=0 menuLabel="File" itemIndex=1 itemLabel="Save"]

Drop-down Menu Cut Off By Flash Component
Hi,

I am using Flash CS3.

I have a drop-down menu and a Flash component immediately below it. When I hover over the menu item, it opens downwards but gets cut off by the Flash component.
This doesn't happen if I replace the Flash component with a picture.

Any advice what could be done will be much appreciated.

Flash Drop Down Menu Like Fireworks Drop Down Menu
Is it possible to make a drop down menu in flash that drops down on top of html on the webpage? (i'm not sure how to describe this, what I mean is a drop down menu like the one used on Launch.com) I know this is possible in fireworks, but I want the buttons to have flash rollovers... is it possible to first off do this in flash or 2nd import my flash to fireworks and then make the drop down from there? If anyone could point me towards a tutorial or movie that does this that would be great. Thanks

Drop Down Menu PROBLEM-Down State For Sub-menu Item Linked To External SWFs?
Hi nice to meet everyone. The drop down menu I'm referring to is located in the main movie. The menu is a movie clip with the buttons inside and I have each button as 'track as menu item' in the properties. The buttons are linked to external swfs that load in the empty movie clip on the main movie stage. Everything loads perfectly no problem. I can't seem to figure out the right code to put on the sub-menu items/buttons in the drop down menu to show the 'down' state when the corresponding movie is loaded (i.e., about-main button, philosphy(menu item). When the 'philosphy' swf loads how do I get the 'philosphy' button that is in the main movie to show the 'down' state until another button is pressed on the menu? I hope I explained myself clear enough without confusing anyone!

Below is a sample of the code that I currently have on the the regular buttons that DO NOT sub-menu items:

on (release) {
gotoAndStop("home");
_root.contents.loadMovie("home.swf");
}

And here is the code that I currently have on the main buttons that have sub-menu items:

on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie("philosphy2.swf");
setProperty("_root.home", _visible, "0");
}

I have searched everywhere on the net, tutorials and still can't find the answer, I've been working on this for almost a week now and I just can't get it right.

Thanks again your help is greatly appreciated!

How To: Create A Drop Down Menu With XML Data For Menu Items
Can anyone help by showing me or pointing me in the right direction of how I'd go about creating a drop down menu and populating the menu items from an XML file?

I'm creating a tour sort of thing and I have it pulling in the slides of the tour from an XML file and all the next/prev buttons are working fine. I wanted to add a drop down menu from the top that has the menu items pulling in from elements from the XML file. Possible? Ideas?

Flash Expanding Menu Instead Of Javascript Drop Down Menu?
I am trying to make a flash file that will take the place of a javascript drop down menu. I need to have a slim horizontal menu bar surrounded top and bottom by the rest of the HTML webpage.

The function of the flash menu would be such that when one of the buttons are moused over > the menu would expand over the HTML images below it with more menu buttons.

This is really easy to do with javascript but I want the creative freedom flash offers. Does anyone know how I can create a flash file that can expand larger than it’s original size on the webpage

I have seen some really neat flash banner ads that definitely are on top of other html. Maybe I could do something like that.

Please let me know any ideas or resources I could use to do this.

Thanks.

How Do I Get Component Drop-down Menus To "Drop-Up" Instead Of Dropping Down?
Hi,

I've been working on this website that has a component drop-down menu that needs to "drop-up" instead of down. How can I get it to do that?

I have another drop-down menu that is "dropping up" on the home page of the site that I am working on. I think it is doing that because it is positioned at the very bottom of the stage (movie). There is no room for the drop-down to be displayed, so it automatically goes up instead of down. However, there's another two drop-down menus that positioned at the bottom of the stage and for some strange reason they drop-down instead of up.

To see the working "drop-up" menu, click here. This is a testing server, as the site hasn't been launched yet. To see the stubborn drop-down menus that keep dropping down, when they should be "dropping up" then you'll have to enter in a 'test' booking. Select a branch (eg: Sydney), then type in "12345678" for the phone number, then type in a 'Contact Name' (your name or whatever) and then click on "Quick Pickup". You will then be taken to a page where you'll be able to see the two drop-down menus at the bottom on the left-hand side.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Drop Menu With Toggle Menu Items
I am having an issue with the toggle state of a couple of buttons in a menu.
I have provided a simplified version of a menu system I am trying to build as a zipfile attachment.

the first menu is empty. For this demonstration it has no purpose but to move the main time line from from frame 1, to frame 2.

The second menu (on frame 3) turns off and on two movie clips that are loaded externally. I have no problem initially loading them, and no problem turning them off and on with the toggle switch's loadMovie and unloadMovie commands.

The problem comes when I've unloaded a movie using the toggle button in the second menu, then click on the first menu. When I've clicked on the 2nd menu again, the toggle switch isn't in the same state that it was last left in. I have no idea how to make it remember which state it was in.

Is there someway I could ask,
"If movie is not loaded, got to off state.
If movie is loaded, go to on state." ?

Here is a zip file with the FLA files and the external SWF's.

Here is the menu in action:
Click here

Please help if you can.

Horizontal Scroll Menu With Drop-down Menu Over It
hey guys, i'm running MX 2004 pro.
here's what's going on:

i've got a horizontally-scrolling menu (in a movieclip) that is constructed similarly to the tutorial here: http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/In...-815/index.php

in the same .fla, there is also a drop-down menu, that when down covers part of the scrolling menu. this, of course, triggers the scrolling menu. ideally, the scrolling menu would instead continue to scroll, and be unaffected by a user selecting an item from the drop down menu.

in the timeline, i have the following code pasted onto the instance of the horizontal scrolling menu:

onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
xmousepos1 = _xmouse;
ymousepos1 = _ymouse;
if (xmousepos1>xmousepos2 && ymousepos1>-45 && ymousepos1<60) {
_root.scrollclip.nextFrame();
}
if (xmousepos1<xmousepos2 && ymousepos1>-45 && ymousepos1<60) {
_root.scrollclip.prevFrame();
}
if (ymousepos1<-45 || ymousepos1>60) {
play();
}
xmousepos2 = _xmouse;
ymousepos2 = _ymouse;
}

how could i modify this so as not to be affected by the drop down menu? unfortunately, moving the position of the drop down is not an option.

thanks for reading and thanks for your time,
decerebrate

XML Drop Menu: Close Menu On Roll Out
Hi,

As I was working through this tutorial I noticed that once the submenu is open you have to click the button to close the submenu.

Any ideas on how to have the submenu close once you roll out of the hit area.

This may be counter-intuitive to the idea of the tutorial but I don't think I'll have any menus beyond the drop down.

Anyone have thoughts on this? Or are there any great sites that explain how to do this? I know it may seem simple, but all I find when searching are drop downs that get submitted with form data, nothing actually on actions that take place after a list item is selected from a drop down

Drag And Drop Component
Hello,

I am developing a quiz that involves the drag and drop component that comes with Flash.
What I have is 4 Drag movieclip and 1 Target movieclip. 3 of the Drag movieclips are associated with the Target movieclip. The 4th movieclip is not assoicated to a Target movieclip, because it is incorrect.

When I run this directly in Flash, it works great, I am using mcTween and the built in Tween class that Flash offers. The problem I am having is when I run the quiz in a stage environment. We have developed a stage component that encapsulates several SWF files and allows the viewer to navigate to any SWF file in the stage by simply clicking on the menu on the left.

I know this is likely an issue with the usage, or lack thereof, _parent and _root. Problem is, I don't know what it is!

Sorry if I have just confused you all, if you want me to clarify something, let me know.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Drag And Drop Component
Hello,

Ok, I thought I had this all figured out, but I guess I'm only half way there....

I have a quiz involving a drag and drop interaction. It works great in Flash, but I have a presentation window that encapsulates several SWF files, the quiz being one of them. On the first frame of the quiz, I must put "this._lockroot = true" in order for the quiz to work at all in the presentation window. All of the questions work properly except for the drag and drop one. What happens is I can drag the dragable objects, but no target is recognized. The only way I can fix this is by putting "this._lockroot = false" on the frame that the drag and drop component is on. Problem with that is I can no longer advance through the quiz, simply due to the fact that "this._lockroot = false". Does anyone know where I would set this._lockroot = true in the component script?

Thanks in advance

Doug

Help Sending Variables Using Ui Component Drop Down
Hi Guys, I am after some advice on using the component combo box. Please forgive my ignorance. I have a form build in flash which sends variables to a php file for inclusion to a DB and to email the results. This works fine however I want to include a dropdown menu with different locations, once the user selects the location the email is sent to a specified email address based on the selection. I have no problem with the php and this works fine if I just include a text field and type the location in but I want to include a drop down menu to ensure the correct data is sent. I am new to Flash and am having problems.

The easiest solution I can see is by using the component combo box but I cant find and usefull help on this. Can someone point me in the right direction or even tell me if I am going down the correct route? The field needs to be assigned a variable name like location and passes the location name based on user selection to the script but I just cant get my head round it.

Thanks

Drag-n-drop Component To Interface With ASP.net
I haven't been playing with Flash much these past years as my time has been
predominantly back-end as of late, so I'm a bit out of the loop as to what
the full extent of the newer Flash and Flex options are out there.

I think I'm at a point where I could benefit from some Flash components for
a project I'm working on.

A key part of the application is an image sorter. I need to impement a
drag-n-drop interface to move images from one 'folder' to another and then
to rearrange the images in that new folder, and then pass the info back to
the back-end code.

I've been playing with Scriptaculous/Prototype and Jquery with some plug-ins
to do this. They work well, but there's one fatal flaw, it seems, when using
javascript for this...if your content expands to the point where you need to
either scroll the window or a scrollable div, things begin to go out of
whack...apparently due to how javascript interacts with the DOM when objects
are overflowing.

So...I'm thinking the only reliable way to accomplish this is to use Flash
for this (and am now understanding why Flickr was using Flash for so long
;o). I've seen a few components, but I'm not entirely clear as to which of
these can interface directly with other app code (sepcifically ASP.net).

Are there standalone compeonents for drag-n-drop interfaces that integrate
well/easily with back end code? If so, any suggestions?

Menu Component And Window Component
I have a dilema. I'm trying to create a flash application that is basically a rich text editor

well, I'm trying to make a menu component to open a window component which has a close button

here is a part of my code (attempt 1):

PHP Code:

import mx.controls.Menu;import mx.controls.MenuBar;import mx.managers.PopUpManager;import mx.containers.Window;var my_mb:MenuBar;var myProfile:Menu = my_mb.addMenu("My Profile");myProfile.addMenuItem({label:"View/Edit Profile Information", instanceName:"newInst"});myProfile.addMenuItem({label:"See My Profile", instanceName:"openInst"});//THE LISTENERSvar mbListener:Object = new Object();mbListener.change = function(evt_obj:Object) { var menuItem_obj:Object = evt_obj.menuItem; switch (menuItem_obj.attributes.instanceName) {  case "openInst":  var my_win:MovieClip = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, Window, true, {closeButton:true, contentPath:"openDialog"});    var winListener:Object = new Object();    winListener.click = function() {        my_win.deletePopUp();    };    my_win.addEventListener("click", winListener);  break;}

The problem with this script: when I test the movie, the movie freezes and Flash asks do you want to disable the script and etc..

so I tried doing the same by attachMovie() :

PHP Code:

//THE STUFF FROM BEFORE  switch (menuItem_obj.attributes.instanceName) {  case "openInst":    _root.attachMovie("Window","openInst",this.getNextHighestDepth());    openDialog.setSize(623.9,310)    openDialog.closeButton = true;    openDialog.contentPath = "openDialog";    openDialog.title = "Open Document";//HERE IS THE PROBLEM:    openDialog.close = function() {        trace("Closing...");        removeMovieClip(_level0.openInst);    }  break;

The problem from the 2nd Code Box: I can't close the box. When I press the X, it won't close it.

So...basically what I'm asking is...How do I call a Window Component from a Menu Bar Component and let the Window Component also close correctly when the user closes it.

Thanks in advance for your great help!

AS2: Menu Component & Window Component

Drag & Drop Quiz Component - Depths Issue
I wonder if someone could help me. I am building a drag & drop question using the Quiz Component that comes as part of Flash MX 2004 Professional.

My problem is that 1 have 3 images therefore 3 targets yet 2 need to be on top of each other, as items need to be placed on top of each other in the correct order.

I need to be able to click item 1 and drag over to target 1, then when released force that depth of item 1 to the bottom. Next click item 2, well this doesn't really matter because it is a larger area and is lower down so not a problem, but the last item 3 needs to be able to see target 3, which would normally be under target 1.

The dragable movie clips are called Drag1, Drag2 & Drag 3 and the target movie clips are called Target1, Target2 & Target3. All of these movie clips are contained within one movie clip called DragDrop on the main timeline.

I pray to the Gurus of ActionScript to see if this can be done, any example or quidance would be much appreciated.

I have an example which can be found at www.iglooweb.co.uk/test/test.zip I have abit of AS on the drag button to colour the target area so that I know I am addressing the correct target but the AS to getNextHighestDepth(); does not seem to be working. I have also tried swapping depths, that doesn't seem to work properly either.

Please help.

Drop Down Menu Help
I've got a movie clip set up with a button on frame one that says "Section 2" on the same frame is a command to "stop." When the mouse moves over the "Section 2" button, the movie clip timeline continues playing, and reveals 4 other buttons. How do I make it so that when you leave the area of those buttons ("Section 2" & Sub-Section 1 - 4), the movie clip returns and stops on frame 1. Is this possible? PLEASE HELP!

Thanks!

Drop Down Menu
I've been through the tutorials and can't seem to figure out how to get it to work. I followed Adam Weeks tutorial to the T and I still couldn't get it to work right. Although, messing about with the code helped me to figure out how to drag stuff around on the stage so that was a major plus (have been trying to do that since I started with flash).

If anyone can help I'd appreciate it. If I figure it out myself I'll let you know. I'm going to try it again.

Drop Down Menu
All right everybody!

I have a menu smart clip that has about 25 states in it. When it drops down it extends the length of my Flash movie. Is there any way to set default to maybe 12 states appear at a time and have the rest scroll so it is manageable. Here is the code in my smart clip...

onClipEvent (load) {
myArray = new Array("Arizona","Alabama","California","Florida"," Georgia","Illinois","Indiana","Louisiana","Massach usetts","Michigan","Minnesota","Missouri","New Jersey","New York","Maryland","North Carolina","Ohio","Oklahoma","Oregon","Pennsylvania ","South Carolina","Tennessee","Texas","Utah","Virginia","W ashingtonDC","Wisconsin");
this.items = myArray;

function onMenu (item, label) {
labelArray = new Array("home","Arizona","Alabama","California","Flo rida","Georgia","Illinois","Indiana","Louisiana"," Massachusetts","Michigan","Minnesota","Missouri"," New Jersey","New York","Maryland","North Carolina","Ohio","Oklahoma","Oregon","Pennsylvania ","South Carolina","Tennessee","Texas","Utah","Virginia","W ashingtonDC","Wisconsin")
val = labelArray[item]
_root.theClip.gotoAndStop(val);
}
}

Does anyone have any ideas, I really do not want to break up this and say states a-m here and states n-z there....

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe
