Initialise Flash Dropdown Menu In HTML

HTML Cell Will Crop My Flash Dropdown Menu...
Hi guys,
I´ve made this cool horizontal menu which has an item that displays a dropdown submenu. My flash movie is 60px high, but the dropdown menu is 220 px high... And it appears right on the bottom of the movie. Everything goes well if I play the movie in flash player... However, if put the swf with the menu inside a HTML file (in a 60px high cell), the dropdown will be cropped!
Is there any way to solve this?
Thanks in advance!

Is There Anyway To Disable The Flash Player Dropdown Menu (not The Context Menu)
Greetings,
I am aware of how to reset the right-click context menu to just "settings", but when the file is opened in Flash Player directly from a computer instead of on the web, the drop-down menu in the player is still available. You can even press ctrl+enter to play. My searches just come up with solutions to the right-click menu, and I have a client who wants me to get rid of this menu for a game I've already made.
If you don't think there's even a way to do this, could you just tell me that so I can inform my client?
Thank you either way

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 MX Dropdown Menu
How can I make a simple dropdown menu in Flash, without using XML? I have attached the .fla file. This is for a school assignment, so I need this really soon. I want the boxes below the headings to appear/dropdown when the heading is hovered over. This is targeted at elderly people, so it needs to be simple. Any help would be much apreciated.

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?
Flash Movie On Top Of Dropdown Menu?
I have a html document with a javascript drop down layer menu in the top.
Under the menu I have a flash movie.
Problem is:
When I mouse over the drop down menu the flash movie is on top of the drop down so you can't see the menu.
Can somebody help me please??

How To Stop Flash Player's Dropdown Menu?
Hi...
What I'm interested in is that... if you click the 'third mouse button' in the Flash player, you get this dropdown menu, with options such as zoom, play, and 'about Macromedia' and stuff.
For some websites, when you click the third mouse button, you only get two options, instead of ALL others... How do we do that?

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.

Dropdown Menu Not Showing Over Flash Banner
dear flashkit,
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.
Tks, intan
[CS3] Dropdown Menu And Flash-banner Problem

But there is a anoying problem: When you roll the cursor over the dropdown menu in the top, the parts of the dropdown that crosses the banner disapears behind the banner.
Do anyone know how to solve this problem, so that the dropdown menu wont disapear behind the banner?

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?
Thanks
[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

[CS3] Trouble With CSS Dropdown Menu Over Flash With XML Image Calls
I'm not all that great with flash, and what I'm doing is fairly simple but for some reason I just can't seem to get it to work right, and can't find the answer I'm looking for.
I have a couple CSS dropdown menus in my navigation, which is directly above a flash player that uses XML to call different images.
The solution I've found was to make the window mode be transparent... and you can see if you hover over either the Products/Services/About Us/Sustainability sections that it works... but only during the transition fade between images. When the images themselves are shown, they sit above the menu.
My thinking is that the flash itself sits behind the menus, but when the images are called upon they raise up above the menus.
Does anyone know the solution? This is driving me nuts

I've got an issue with my site displaying improperly on a Mac. The flash movie on the index page is covering the drop-down menus that come out from the left navigation bar.
I was having the same problem on a PC, but someone gave me this great fix:
<PARAM NAME="wmode" VALUE="transparent">
Is there something else I can do to fix this on the Mac side?

Dynamic Menu AS2.0/XML - Seperating Main Menu Title MC From Dropdown Item's MC
Hi everyone, this is my first post in this forum, I appreciate all the help
I've got a dynamic menu using AS2.0 that's being populated by an XML file, it's quite complete and is working fine, the only thing I'm having trouble with is assigning a new MC to the Titles so the visual design (Text and background) can be different from the rest of the dropdown menu.
What would have to be done to capture the menuNodes and isolate them form the rest. Below is the XML that I’m using, the highlighted (red, bold, italic) text below is what I’d like to capture and seperate from the rest of the submenus for the menu title in my flash project.
XML

Drop Down Menu Within A Dropdown Menu
Hi There, I'm new to the forum and to flash - which is what brought me here in the first place!
My question is; I have a dropdown menu which is fine, but now I need to make two of the buttons in the drop down have their own drop down options, My drop down menu is a movie clip with the buttons etc inside the movie clip and I've been trying to put another movie clip inside the origional to try simulate my origional drop down but it just won't work, am I asking too much of flash or is there an easer way to do this?
Dropdown Menu
I want to emulate an HTML dropdown menu.
I know how to script out a scroller, but
I'm having troubles getting the menu to
disappear if nothing's selected (on rollout). Meaning:
I need a simple mouseout piece of scripting
or something. Any ideas?
Using a mousevent doesn't work because I can't put
a button on top of my scroller.
thanks,
fred
Dropdown Menu?
how can I finish my dropdown menu so that the menu which "drops", stays on it`s position when I move my cursor on it and leave the sourcebutton which drops it?
it just pulls back where it came from, quite annoying
