Drop Down XML Slide Menu

Now maybe someone can help me out….

I’ve got the menu to work exactly how I want it. However, when I embed the Flash into and HTML page, it works great on my homepage but does not work in sub folders when it comes to Internet Explorer.

Example:

Menu works in: http://www.website.com/default.htm

Menu DOES NOT work in: http://www.website.com/subcategory/default.htm.

Keep in mind that I am simply saving http://www.website.com/default.htm to another area of the site, meaning that my .js, XML , and .SWF should be the same on my homepage and subcategory page.

Is this just an Internet Explorer bug or a problem with the Flash File? It seems to work perfect in Mozilla.

Hi again.

I posted earlier to try to get a tip on how to change the rollover states of the text of the subbuttons rather than the background.

carriej11 have you had any luck? Please let me know if you figure it out or get a reply from chucknucka (I haven’t)

rosendahl I appreciate your help but what I want to do requires a change in the code (I think this goes for carriej11 too). I know how to change the colour of the sub button, but would like to change the rollover state of the text on the subbutton to yet another colour. It currently changes the colour of the bg…

Chuckanucka please any tips on how to change the code?

Thanks.

please – I come to Flashden because I don’t know Flash – there are no instrux for embedding the swf and flashvars in HTML – can you please post something? Thanks

I didn’t ask you to teach me Flash, and your tone is not appreciated. I asked for the embed instrux, like the ones that come with every other script on this site. I expect that when I pay for a script, the least I get are embed instrux??

Can you help me out to make the main buttons that scale to text widths. Drop me a quote to tobbe@karlevid.se thanks! asap today would be great.

I also would like to have hover color on the sub buttons also.

I need help with linking to another page, I sent you an email…. thanks

Hey Chuck…Just purchased this file. Been looking for something like this for quite some time. I’ve gotten it pretty much setup the way I wanted it. Did some graphics tweaking. However, can you tell me how to add a hover color to the subMenu text? I tried to duplicate the method you used to change the mainBtn hover color, but I’ve gotten myself a bit confused. I’ve not worked much with dynamically created menus.

Thanks in advance…

Second question. For the life of me I cannot find in the code where you are having it always load on top of other content (or on the highest level). Sounds crazy, but I’d like to have a movieClip load on TOP of the menu. I’ve tried loading a movie on different levels all the way up to level 5001, but this menu seems to always stay on top no matter what level I load my movies on. Can you tell me what line(s) I need to change in the code to make this work?

I’m still tryin to figure out how to change the subMenu rollOver text color. If I figure it out I’ll post the solution for everyone else.

How do you make the buttons link to an html page? instead of another swf?

Forinstance say i want it to link to www.google.com instead of inside a swf movie?

Was wondering if I could use this menu to implement into a HTML website?

Thanks,

Gabe

Hello,

I purchased this file a bit ago and was looking for an answer just recently to this question, which I believe was posed earlier but I wasn’t able to find a response either:

Is it possible to have some links open in “_blank”, while others in “_self”?

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Hey Chuck

love all your work, not only is functional, more like visual effects.

…Just purchased this file. I’ve tried reading all the comments from page one up to this page. There is a problem and needs your help: I set the “hitZone._alpha = 100;” see a problem, When the mouse “onRollOut” submenu, “hitZone” remain in the original position and did not put away,”HitZone” blocked loadMovie swf buttons.

Thank you for your help.

Hello. I just purchased the menu. I have it working fine except I need each dropdown link to go to a different frame in the main Flash shell. How do I set this up in the XML and/or Actionscript? I’ve looked through a number of the support responses but didn’t see this specifically. Several of my approaches didn’t seem to work either. I’m new to using XML and have about a year with AS2 . If you could point me in the right direction or to a support response that addresses this, I would certainly appreciate it. Thanks.

Hello. I purchased this file a while back and have been able to get it to do everything except load different swfs into a blank movie clip from different menu buttons. I’ve read and followed the tips in the discussion, but as a newbie to actionscript, I can’t seem to get it to work. Obviously, I’m doing something wrong and can’t seem to figure it out.

For someone who is well-versed in actionscript, it would probably take a short time to do this. So, if you can help, I would be happy to pay for assistance. You can email me at fbarnette@juno.com Thanks.
