Buttons To Create Submenu - Must Animate W/AS - Submenu Must Change
Hi there.
I am trying to create a movie which has several different buttons (main menu). When each of these buttons is clicked, I'd like to have a movie clip move (lets call it "shirts") up to a certain point from the bottom of the screen. This movie clip "shirts" will load a remote swf (lets call it "Jim") which must be defined by the user's main menu click of the Jim button.
All of the above is easy enough, but when a user clicks a new option from the main menu (lets use "Dean"), I'd like for the existing movieclip "shirts" to move down off of the screen, then load up a different swf "Dean", then move back up on the screen.
Thanks in advance.

Flash Submenu
i've got a problematic submenu here (at least, it's problematic for stupid ol me).
I've got a menu in flash, and clicking on one link "menu items" is supposed to bring up a submenu. What I did was make the submenu a movie clip ("submenu"). Through the Library I chose the Export with ActionScript option for it. Then, for the link on the main menu ("menu items"), I put this for Actions:
on (release) {
_root.attachMovie(submenu,submenu,100);
_root.submenu._x = 11.3;
_root.submenu._y = 180;
_root.submenu.gotoAndPlay("startMovie");
}
Didn't work. So I tried putting the movie clip in a separate layer that stays there throughout the timeline. Then, on the first frame of the whole movie, I put an action:
_root.submenu._visible = false;
and on "menu items":
on (release){
_root.submenu._visible = true;
}
No good. (well, i knew it was a lame try...) What happened instead was that the submenu was just visible all the time.
So then I tried playing around with _alpha.
But no matter what I do it doesn't work.
I figured one definite way out would be to just make a duplicate of the current frame, but with the submenu turned visible. But I'd rather not do that and do it using ActionScript instead, coz I've got a trillion different frames.
What's the most normal approach used for submenus, and what am I doing wrong in my code?

Flash Submenu Please Help
Hey guys i'm new but needed a hand with this **** flash i've been struggling on for a week now. Take a look over at http://nrpromotions.com/index2/4247-4b.swf This is a section of my promotional company page flash. It gets embedded into a background template flash to complete the page effect. The problem i'm having right now is that the 9 products featured in that block need to change when different menu buttons are hit. Unfortunately I don't know how to do that. The menu (number bar on the right) and the 9 products in that block are 2 different objects ("products" and "menu" to make it easier.) I have attempted to apply actionscript to the buttons on the menu bar such as button #2 was:
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("scene 1", "page2");
}
Whereas "page 2" represents the correct frame for the products within the "products" object.
This didn't work at all, nor did go to and get frame # go to and stop frame # and now i'm about to start pulling my hair out if i can't get this figured out!
There is only one scene in this movie but these two objects are having the hardest time linking...please help? Basically what i need to do is link the button 1 on "menu" to frame "45" of "products" and button 2 on "menu" to frame "46" of "products" and so on.
Hit me on ICQ/Yahoo or any other messenger if you can help someone who is not as well versed in Flash as she might be lol
Also I have no problem providing this fla file to someone who could help me!
Thanks guys! Angel

XML Menu With Submenu (Flash 8 Pro)
So far I have the first part of this menu working (the "main links"/"top links") but the second part is a submenu that pulls from the child nodes of the main links.
What it's suppose to do is: When you roll over the "main links"/"top links" it opens the "submenu" for each of the "main links" appear at the bottom and when you roll out it makes it go away.
...but I can only get the first child nodes of the first submenu to work, and it automatically comes up when it is loaded...the roll over and roll out don't work.
Here's my XML:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<menu>
<page title="What We Do" linkurl="http://www.mackdesignsonline.com">
<link title="Bikes" linkurl="#"/>
<link title="Parts" linkurl="#"/>
</page>
<page title="The Shop" linkurl="#"/>
<page title="Our Gallery" linkurl="#"/>
<page title="Friends" linkurl="http://www.mackdesignsonline.com">
<link title="FBikes" linkurl="#"/>
<link title="FParts" linkurl="#"/>
<link title="FBikes" linkurl="#"/>
</page>
<page title="Specials" linkurl="http://www.mackdesignsonline.com"/>
<page title="Contact" linkurl="#"/>
</menu>
Here's my ActionScript:
Code:
var titles:Array = new Array();
var linkurls:Array = new Array()
var currentOpened:Number;
var itemSpacing = 112;
var itemCount = 0;
var itemCountblack = 0;
function GenerateMenu(xmlTemplate) {
var startNodes = xmlTemplate.firstChild;
var nodes = startNodes.childNodes;
var total = nodes.length;
for(var i=0; i<total; i++) {
var titles = nodes[i].attributes.title;
var CurrentItem = nodes[i];
//Buttons
var currentThumbMenu = menu_holder.attachMovie("Itembutton","item"+itemCount, itemCount);
currentThumbMenu._x = itemCount * itemSpacing;
itemCount++;
currentThumbMenu.linkurl = CurrentItem.attributes.linkurl;
currentThumbMenu.buttonText.titleshere.text = titles;
currentThumbMenu.name.text = CurrentItem.attributes.name;
currentThumbMenu.onRelease = openThis;
currentThumbMenu.onRollOver = ShowSub;
currentThumbMenu.onRollOut = HideSub;
}
}
//SubMenu
function ShowSub(xmlTemplate){
menu_holderblack._visible = true;
var startSubNodes = xmlTemplate.firstChild.firstChild;
var Subnodes = startSubNodes.childNodes;
var Subtotal = Subnodes.length;
for(var k=0; k<Subtotal; k++) {
var CurrentItemblack = Subnodes[k];
var currentThumbMenublack = menu_holderblack.attachMovie("Itembuttonblack","itemblack"+itemCountblack, itemCountblack);
currentThumbMenublack._x = itemCountblack * 100;
itemCountblack++;
var titlessub = CurrentItemblack.attributes.title;
currentThumbMenublack.buttonTextblack.titleshereblack.text = titlessub;
}
}
function HideSub(){
menu_holderblack._visible = false;
}
menu_holderblack._visible = false;
//Buttons Actions
function openThis() {
getURL(this.linkurl);
}
var xmlTemplate = new XML();
xmlTemplate.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlTemplate.onLoad = function(success){
if (success) GenerateMenu(this);
if (success) ShowSub(this);
else trace("Error");
}
xmlTemplate.load("nav_x.xml");

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!!

XML/Flash Menu - Placement Of Submenu
Hey everyone,
I've been using sen's flash/xml drop-down menu tutorial, and I have been able to create the following for (mt): http://www.kirupa.com/temp/mt_menu3.html
If you rollover the first item, you will notice that the submenu loads to the right side. What I would like to have is something similar to the following attached image. Also, the code I am using can be found in the attached FLA.
I know how to make the menu appear directly below the parent node, but the problem is that I am unable to shift the menu items down so that the menu items don't overlap over the existing menu items. You can see an example of what I am trying to do in the attached image.
Does anybody have any insight on how to accomplish that. I tried finding the name of each movie clip and shifting them downward, but it seems that none of the movie clip names correlate to the actual menu item - therefore, I am unable to shift them downwards in order to make a space for them.
Thanks!

Fireworks Submenu Over The Flash Movie
I am developing a site using Dreamweaver MX 2004 and Fireworks MX 2004. I have a menu bar with drop down submenu's - all made using Fireworks.
In the layout of the pages right under the menu bar, I have a flash movie (swf) which diplays a few images with a next and previous buttons. I made this Flash movie after reading/playing with/using the "Photo Gallery using XML and Flash" tutorial found here at KIRUPA.COM.
Everything works well as far as displaying images and captions.
However, the flash movie seems to be displayed on top of the Javascript layers (from the Fireworks submenus). So, when the image is displayed inside the flash movie, if i try to use the menu, the drop down submenu items are hidden behind the flash movie!
Could someone point me to what I am doing incorrectly?
How do I make the menu system to be on top of all the other items - such as the flash movie?
Thanks in advance.

Flash Menu Fails To Hide Submenu
Hello All -
I have Flash 5. I have built a file with 8 NAV buttons. Each NAV button will have the abaility to show a submenu, and each submenu will have 3-7 buttons used to launch a URL.
(** right now all of the submens are the same - I'll change these when I get the code right)
I can get the main NAVs to show the submenu ok, and I have found a way to make each submenu show up highlight too. BUT ----
The submenus fail to hide when you mouse off them. What am I missing?
In my submenu I have frame one called 'hide' and frame two called - show; this is where the buttons/submenu is.
I can email the FLA if needed.
Thanks

Flash Menu/submenu And Html Targeting
Here's what I'm trying to do. I have a menu I'm building in flash, and each main menu item has a submenu bar underneath. What I want to do is just include the swf file in my html on different pages, but let's say if I go to the "about" section, how do I get my flash menu to be the submenu of the "about" section instead of reloading and the wrong submenu is revealed.
Hopefully that makes sense. What I want to do is target labels inside of flash from my html, or is there an easier way?
I'm in Flash MX 2004.
Thanks!

Flash/XML Menu/submenu Optimization Question
Hi all, first of all, I'm not sure if this is an ActionScript 2.0 or just regular ActionScript question, so I apologize in advance if I'm posting in the wrong forum.
Another couple of things that I should mention is that what I want to do is to be able to just update my XML file, so that I'll never have to touch my Flash file again. Also, I HAVE figured out a solution to my problem, but the solution requires me creating 3 different XML files, which I wasn't sure was optimal, or if that's even the "right" way of doing it. So I basically have 2 questions that are semi-related, and I'll separate them with a dashed line down below.
Okay, so I've taken a look at all the XML tutorials from this site, and I'm having a bit of problem figuring something out. I have a Flash file, which has a menu for my photo gallery: family, bw, vacations. In each of my photo gallery, I have a submenu for each photo. So, if "family" has 17 photos that I need to show, then I have a submenu of 17 items marked "01 02 03" etc. I hope you're with me so far.
So, in my XML file, this is what I THOUGHT I should do:
<family>
<id>
<number>01</number>
<title>blablabla</title>
<date>some date</date>
<info>some information</info>
<number>02</number>
<title>blablabla</title>
<date>some date</date>
<info>some information</info>
<number>03</number>
<title>blablabla</title>
<date>some date</date>
<info>some information</info>
</id>
</family>
<bw>
<id>
<number>01</number>
<title>blablabla</title>
<date>some date</date>
<info>some information</info>
<number>02</number>
<title>blablabla</title>
<date>some date</date>
<info>some information</info>
</id>
</bw>
<vacations>
<id>
<number>01</number>
<title>blablabla</title>
<date>some date</date>
<info>some information</info>
<number>02</number>
<title>blablabla</title>
<date>some date</date>
<info>some information</info>
<number>03</number>
<title>blablabla</title>
<date>some date</date>
<info>some information</info>
<number>04</number>
<title>blablabla</title>
<date>some date</date>
<info>some information</info>
</id>
</vacations>
Okay, so here's what I want to do:
When I press any of the buttons ("family", "bw", "vacations"), I want to be able to know how many total entries there are. In this case, in "family", there are 3. So, how can I get this "3" number through my Flash file? If I update it and there are then 20, I want to be able to get this number without having to touch the Flash file. What can I do to do this? I thought maybe by putting "id" tags in there, it might help for some reason. But maybe that's just redundant. Either way, I can't figure out how to do this.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I mentioned up above that I did figure out how to do this by separating each menu into its own XML file. This works fine, but I do have a minor question. Here's what I have written on the first frame of my Flash file:
familyContent = new XML();
familyContent.ignoreWhite = true;
familyContent.load("family.xml");
familyContent.onLoad = function(success) {
if(success) {
trace ("family loaded!");
}
}
bwContent = new XML();
bwContent.ignoreWhite = true;
bwContent.load("bw.xml");
bwContent.onLoad = function(success) {
if(success) {
trace ("bw loaded!");
}
}
vacationsContent = new XML();
vacationsContent.ignoreWhite = true;
vacationsContent.load("vacations.xml");
vacationsContent.onLoad = function(success) {
if(success) {
trace ("vacations loaded!");
}
}
So my questions for doing it this way are:
1. Is this the most efficient way of loading them, or is there a way to load them all at once that's better than this? It just seems so clunky to me to do it that way.
2. Is there a way to tell Flash to loop itself until the XML file IS loaded? If so, how?
3. Do you think I should put all these in the first frame? Or do you think that I should do it once they press the menu item? For instance, I wouldn't load the XML for "vacations" until the user presses the "vacations" button. If you think I should do this, does that mean that I should put the following code in the "vacations" button (I'm afraid of what would happen if the XML isn't loaded quick enough):
vacationsContent = new XML();
vacationsContent.ignoreWhite = true;
vacationsContent.load("vacations.xml");
vacationsContent.onLoad = function(success) {
if(success) {
trace ("vacations loaded!");
}
}
Sorry for the long post, I hope someone can help me out.

My Submenu
ok, i cant make it work, i didnt get a soloution on the other board so ill post it in here too. maybe i didnt explain fully enough before, so ill try better here...
i have a submenu, it comes out when i click a button, i do this by putting the button in a MC and having it stop on the first frame. then on the button in this movie clip i have...
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
it then plays the animation for the sub-menus scrolling out and they stop, at the end of the movie clip i have another stop command, and a new instance of the original button with the scripting on it of...
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
so that if you click it again it retracts the sub menu. now my problem lies in the fact that my buttons that scroll out as the sub-menu dont work in the way i want. i want the buttons in the sub-menu to navigate between scenes. on one of these buttons after it has finished tweening and come to the stop command at the end of the MC has the following action script...
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("scene name", 1);
}
now instead of, when you click the button, it taking you to the desired scene, the sub-menu stays there and the scene stays in the current one.
can anyone think of a reason why or see a problem with my action scripts?
please please please help me if you can.
and i appologise for being so stupid at this.

I know very little about actionscript. So please, if you do figure it out, and you want to help, please please be explicit as to the instructions, or upload a smaller version of the file so that I can go from there.
All I need is an example of how to get one of the links to work, from there I can finish my project.

[CS3] Submenu?
Hey all,
I've been working on a small "submenu", but got a problem. The hitareas block for each other. When I place the menu above the submenu, its hitarea blocks for the submenus (You can't click it now). When I place the submenu above the menu, its hitarea blocks for a part of the menus (It will roll in and the submenu will disappear). I'm out of ideas, on how I possible could fix this problem.
Current code:
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
sub._visible = false;
men.hit._visible = false;
men.onRollOver = ro;
men.dragOver = ro;
men.onRollOut = ri;
men.releaseOutside = ri;
sub.onPress = function () {
trace ("I've been pressed.");
};
function ro () {
var myTween:Tween = new Tween (this, "_x", Strong.easeOut, this._x, 105, 3.5, false);
myTween.onMotionStopped = function () {
sub._visible = true;
men.hit._visible = true;
};
}
function ri () {
var myTween2:Tween = new Tween (this, "_x", Strong.easeOut, this._x, 82, 3.5, false);
myTween2.onMotionStopped = function () {
sub._visible = false;
men.hit._visible = false;
};
}

Submenu?
Hey all,
I've been working on a small "submenu", but got a problem. The hitareas block for each other. When I place the menu above the submenu, its hitarea blocks for the submenus (You can't click it now). When I place the submenu above the menu, its hitarea blocks for a part of the menus (It will roll in and the submenu will disappear). I'm out of ideas, on how I possible could fix this problem.
Current code:
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
sub._visible = false;
men.hit._visible = false;
men.onRollOver = ro;
men.dragOver = ro;
men.onRollOut = ri;
men.releaseOutside = ri;
sub.onPress = function () {
trace ("I've been pressed.");
};
function ro () {
var myTween:Tween = new Tween (this, "_x", Strong.easeOut, this._x, 105, 3.5, false);
myTween.onMotionStopped = function () {
sub._visible = true;
men.hit._visible = true;
};
}
function ri () {
var myTween2:Tween = new Tween (this, "_x", Strong.easeOut, this._x, 82, 3.5, false);
myTween2.onMotionStopped = function () {
sub._visible = false;
men.hit._visible = false;
};
}
Thanks in advance for any help

Submenu Help
I need some help here. I'm working on a Flash site for a client and have a menu that shows a submenu on mouseover.
I want the submenu to disappear when the mouse moves out of it. Right now you have to click it away, which is one step too much for the visitor.
I've got a sample of the menu here:
Hope anyone can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Creating A Submenu
Need help!
I'm creating a navigation bar (horizontal) that has a submenu launch below it depending on the button rolled over.
This is what I'm trying to do:
I want the submenu to stay active even if a user rolls out of the submenu area, but once a user rolls over another one of the main navigation buttons, I need the current submenu to collapse and the new one launch.
Now....I have created a MC that controlls the expanding/collapsing animation. I am able to control that with a tellTarget. My problem is trying to figure out a way to tell the current MC (regardless of which one is active at the time) to deactivate.
Any help?

Scrolling Submenu
pleas take a look at the following site:
http://www.anovadesign.com/
you can see that each button on the main menu activates
the scrolling submenu.
this is done by "on rollover+goto" i presume.
what riddled me was the "rollout" effect, since rollout accures whenever leaving the buttons surface, EXCEP for the
submenu field. allowing the user to hit the submenu buttons without them 'slipping' away the minute the mouse leaves the main menu button. how is this done??

Menu And Submenu
Hey all,
I'm trying to make amenu that opens up with an "onRollOver" event-handler, and will close with an "onRollOut" - meaning, once the mouse is on the MC it will open and once it has left it, the menu will shut. the thing is, due to the fact that "onRollOver/Out" preform as long as the mouse is on it, i get the effect of the menu always trying to open it self. is there a way of making it work well?
thank you.

Help Submenu Problems
hey there!
i've made this menu that uses roll-overs to get to the submenu right next to it. so when you roll-out of the button, the submenu also dissappears.
my question for you is:
can you, in one way or another, also keep the submenu visible if you roll onto the submenu? and preferably WITHOUT CLICKING?!
cause if i put it in the "hit-section" the roll-over starts to work if you go over the empty area where the submenu needs to appear. i've included the fla-file if that helps you (and me) out.
thanks a million, billion, kazzilion!

If my blank movie clip target instance name is: target
And my .swf file is "gameday.swf" on my domain insidehornetfootball.com

Is this the correct actionscript?
//****If you seta component’s instancename as“hornetMenu2”
this.onClickMenu=function(pObj){
var kLabel = pObj.label;
var kMode = pObj.menuMode;
fld.text = “You click “+kMode+” menu , and label is “+kLabel+”.”;
};
hornetMenu2.addEventListener(“onClickMenu”, this);
Is this how the .xml submenu should look?
