Flash :: Menubar

MenuBar - How To Get The MenuBar Item?
I played first time with this component.
I can use it for a web menu.
How can I get the Edit item?
Assume that the text Edit could be like buton with name About us.
I can get the menu items but the menubar not.

Thanks

Code:

// MenuBar definition
var my_mb : mx.controls.MenuBar;
my_mb.setSize (940, 25)
my_mb.move (5, 15)
trace ('my_mb: ' + my_mb.getDepth ())
//
var myDP_xml : XML = new XML ();
myDP_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
myDP_xml.onLoad = function (success : Boolean)
{
if (success)
{
   my_mb.dataProvider = myDP_xml.firstChild;
   trace (myDP_xml.toString ());
} else
{
   trace ("error loading XML file");
}
};
myDP_xml.load("http://www.flash-mx.com/mm/xml/menubar.xml");
// set depth for MenuBar
bg.setDepthBelow(my_mb);
// Add a change-listener to Menu to detect which menu item is selected.
var menuListener:Object = new Object();
menuListener.change = function(evt_obj:Object) {
var item_obj:Object = evt_obj.menuItem;
trace("Item selected: "+item_obj.attributes.label);
};
my_mb.addEventListener("change", menuListener);

I Need A Bit Of Help With A Menubar
I'd like to make a menubar somewhat like on Pellepiano's site, (the elastic moving mouseover effect) except I'd like to make something that moves to underline the button that the mouse is over.
How would one go about doing that?

Menubar With XML
I have a menubar using XML. It works, but only links on the sub menus work.

here is my xml

Code:
<Menu>
<link label="Amuse Music" url="http://www.burnlounge.com/Amusemusic"></link>
<link label="Calendar" url="http://www.myspace.com/djtalonya"></link>
<Group label="Reviews">
<link label="Mariah Carey - We Belong Together" url="http://www.explodingplastic.com/reviews/craigcwebelongtogether.html"></link>
<link label="Release the Pressure" url="http://www.explodingplastic.com/reviews/releasethepressure.html "></link>
<link label="The Little Big Band feat. Simon Green - If You Don't Know Me By Now" url="http://www.explodingplastic.com/reviews/littlebigbandknowmebynow.html"></link>
</Group>
</Menu>

only the links in bold work

and here is the AS

Code:
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite= true;

xml.onLoad= function(success:Boolean){
if (success) {
MusicMenu.dataProvider = this.firstChild;
var menuL:Object = new Object();

menuL.change = function(evtObj:Object) {

var url = evtObj.menuItem.attributes.url;
getURL(url, "_blank");
}
MusicMenu.addEventListener("change",menuL);
}
}
xml.load("MusicMenu.xml");

Why don't the underlined links work?

MenuBar?
I've read the menuBar component can't be used in CS3 unless you have AS2 setup in the publish settings. Which means no menuBar for AS3.

Has anyone attempted to create their own menuBar component in AS3? I have a requirement for a menuBar but thought I would ask before I create my own.... I might even be interested in purchasing a component if it saves me a lot of time.

Regards,
Brent

MenuBar Bug?
Hi,

I'm having a major problem with focus on textfields - they refuse to relinquish focus when another item or the background is clicked on. I eventually tracked it down to having the MenuBar component in my library.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Method to reproduce the problem:

1. Create a new flash document
2. Draw a text box on screen and set it to 'Input Text'
3. Add the MenuBar component to the library

Now run the document. You can click on the text box, but if you try to click off it, you can't! HELP!!!

Thanks,

Chris.

MenuBar In Flash
I'm trying to build a menu Bar in Flash 5 then put it in a Dreamweaver 4 page so that on buttonn being pressed you go to new URL page.

I created button symbol with no text on.
I put copy on seperate layer and then added text to each button.

When I had my 12 named buttons on indiv layers I opened the Actions Panel and - highlighting each button on its layer in turn I used Basic Actions then added this:

on(release){
getURL("thelinkpage.html")
}

I then put the .swf into the Dreamweaver site and tried to Preview it in the browser. The page keeps on trying to open - I can see the page content and the menu for a split second then it disappears and the same thing happens over and over.

What has gone wrong? Before I added the Actions I created a .swf and put it in Dreamweaver to see if it looked OK and this worked. The buttons changed colour when I rolled over them so it must be the actions that I am doing wrong. Should the actions be on a different layer?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Moving Menubar...
Hey there!

This is probably an easy one for most of you people out there, but I just couldn't solve this one myself. I got stuck down the wrong line of ideas...

I have this vertical menubar, that I want to move to different preset x-positions on the stage, according to what menu-item has been clicked. On click (the buttons are inside the bar, vertically), the bar is supposed to move smoothly across the stage; rapidly at first, deccelerating towards the target X.
I hope you know what I mean, but my English isn't super, so it's difficult to explain...

Hope you can help...

SWF Menubar Cached
Dear All,

I have designed a menu bar with Flash, and it resides in an ASP page. My problem is the on the local server, I can see the changes I have done to the menubar, however, when I upload it on the server, the changes are not visible.

I tried to insert a ?cachebuster="+getTimer() after every link, and also tried to amend the asp file with this code:-

meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
meta http-equiv="PRAGMA" value="NO-CACHE"
meta http-equiv="Expires" content="Mon, 01 Jan 1990 12:00:00 GMT"
link href="inc/frontstyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"

'here we set some vars so that the page will refresh and will not be cached
Response.expires= 0
Response.Expires=-1
Response.Expiresabsolute = Now() - 1
Response.AddHeader "cache-control","private"
Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"

However, I still cannot see any changes to the menubar. Can anybody help me please.

Thanks for your help

MenuBar Trouble
I have been working with the menuBar UI Component in Flash MX2004 and i have two issues

#1. I have been customizing my menuBar and I can change the color of everything except the bar itself, it stays the default grey. This is the code I have been using for the other changes:

myMenuBar.setStyle("backgroundColor","0x6699FF");
myMenuBar.setStyle("color","0x0000CC");
myMenuBar.setStyle("themeColor","0x0000CC");

#2. I have also been trying to get a submenu on the pulldown menu of the menuBar.

I have searched google up and down and read tutorials all morning. Any action examples or advice would be very much appreciated.

Menubar Component
Hello,

My goal - Have the menubar component within FlashMX 2004 Pro, get populated by an external file (preferably XML) that will display the menu choices. In addtion to this, most or all content that will be loaded in from this will be local to the machine the UI is operating on. I need the ability to send a .swf file with an updated menuXML file down to update the uers system.

Is the MenuBar component the best way to go? I have seen others created, but they do not look as nice. In this process I want to learn more about AS2, versus buying a menu program.
I have been using this menu component http://www22.brinkster.com/hamzaf/Hi...c/docpage.html

I can create the menubar and populate it from inside with AS2, but do not understand how to populate it from an XML file and how to update that XML file with caommands to loadMovie from outside the .swf

Anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

MenuBar Component Help
I am currently exploring the use of the menuBar component in Flash MX 2004 Professional.

1) How would I use custom images (jpegs) as the background for the individual buttons contained in the menus? Example: the same exact images except for color - blue for the "up" state, silver for the "over" state, and white for the "down" state....Where in the code would I do this, and what code would be needed?

2) How would I use a custom or specific font for the text to be used with the menu items? How would I implement the use, where in the code, and what code to use?

3) Where in the code would I place the specific behavior for each individuaal button, such as using the "getURL" command to link each button to the desired web page?

Please help, I am going crazy trying to figure this out. any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

Menubar Component
I have three questions on the menu bar component.

(1) Can the main menubar buttons be used as navigation or is it only the submenus that do this?
(2) Can the menubar be used to navigate to screens in a form application?
(3) Can the menubar be used to navigate to different parts of the time line (the same as if buttons were used)?

So far I have three tutes on using the menubar and not one of them uses navigation in the normal sense ie: going to a particular place in the time line or going to a screen in a forms application. Can the menubar do this?

Thanks in advance

Sub Menus In MenuBar
Hello, I'm a pretty new Flash user, and I found some information on how to use the MenuBar component in Flash MX 2004 for use in a website. My question however, is whether or not you can make submenus in the MenuBar component. I have a menu that pops down already, but instead of putting like 10 links in one menu, I wanted to break it down into categories with submenus under each category. So roughly, it would look something like:

|--------------------------
|Links | Help | ......
|--------------------------
|-------------|
|Category 1 > | > |---------|
|Category 2 ...|....|Blah.......|
|Category 3 ...|....|Blah2......|
|-------------|....|Blah3......|
.........................|---------|

I tried addMenu as an argument to the addMenuItem in ActionScript, but it didn't work, and I have no idea what else to try. I would really prefer to keep the MenuBar setup, as it is quite nice and very professional looking, and I'm better at scripting than designing

Component Bug (menuBar)
having a weird problem with the menuBar, another guy seems to have the exact same problem as me here:

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/mx20...0002657.htm l

check first reply.

when i click a menuBar then click back on the stage, move to another button on the stage, press that button, release the button. The onRollOut function of the button is run?

this is a big problem for me, too hard to explain why, but anyone have a fix to this. Maybe a function i can run in the component after a mouse is pressed to say, return focus back to flash. Or something like that?

any help, much appreciated

MenuBar DataProvider
Hi,

i have a MenuBar component which i loaded content into with XML.

lets say this is the menu:

Code:
<menu label='SMP'>

<menuItem label='open' instanceName='op' enabled='false' />
<menuItem label='close' instanceName='cl' enabled='false' />

</menu>
i loaded this string into an XML:

Code:
var xmlMenu:XML = new XML(// the string which contains the above menu)
and then i assigned the XML to the MenuBar:

Code:
myMenu.dataProvider = xmlMenu;
now, the problem is, suppose i want to change the 'enabled' attributed of the 'open' menuItem to true. after i make the change, the XML looks like this:

Code:
<menu label='SMP'>

<menuItem label='open' instanceName='op' enabled='true' />
<menuItem label='close' instanceName='cl' enabled='false' />

</menu>

but the menu doesnt change yet. only after i write:

Code:
myMenu.dataProvider = myMenu.dataProvider
the 'open' menuItem is enabled.
while this may seem ok, when the MenuBar is more complex, loading the whole menu's dataProvider is rather slow and you can actually see it blinks as it loads the xml structure again.

do you know of another way to change the menuItems and show the change without loading the dataProvider again?

thanks,
Ronen.

Menubar Rollover

Cut - menuItem
Copy - menuItem

<menu-item label="Services" instanceName="xedservices"/>
<menu-item label="Clients" instanceName="xedclients"/>

helpMenu.addMenuItem({label:"About", instanceName:"aboutMenuItem"});
helpMenu.addMenuItem({label:"Ultrashock", instanceName:"aboutUltrashock"});

Q: How, for example, would I get "About" to go to an "About" url or movie? I tried using "get url" but I don't know where to insert the code, or what the whole coding looks like, ior if I'm missing something -- can some one pist an example?

I posted this in the components section but after 26 views, 5 days and no replys I thought I would repost it here. Any ideas or directions would be greatly appreciated.

Ok here is the deal:
I am using a XML obj as the dataprovider for my menubar component. Now i want to assign functions to my menu's. The thing I can't figure out and have been unable to find on any threads is how to reference each menu then how to reference each menuItem so as to assign functions to them. Anybody have any ideas?

THX

PS: If you wanna know what my code looks like just check out the MenuBar.dataprovider in the Help.

Menubar Won't Drop
Does anyone know what would cause a menubars menu's:

File Edit View etc...

to stop working?

At this point, it seems pretty random. And my project is huge. I was wondering if anyone had any input?

What happens is during the course of using the program (It's a Texteditor), The menu's simply will no longer drop down to allow their respective options to be selected. The title of the menu will still change color, but it won't give me the list...

Anyone? Please?

Thanks.
