XML menu 1

Hello,

I see no dimensions anywhere, I too need to have 8 menu tabs How do I set it up?

Thank you Ann

@huckster: please check the settings.as file

@anntaj: adding more menus is done in the XML

setting.as does not exist, only settings.xml and actions.as

Oups, correct – this is a different file. In Actions.as at line 121 you can add spaces before the name of the menu, or directly in the XML , as you wish:

this._parent._parent[“mcOver”+i].mcTxt.txt.htmlText = ” ” + _root.menuArray[this._parent._parent.nr].getSNA[i];

I’m having an issue with the spacing of main menu items… how can I adjust?

In Settings.as

Hi, stupid question maybe but… how do i install it???

What do you mean?

Quick question – when I downloaded the files the only .as files that I have are actions.as and menu.as (The only settings file is settings.xml). Are either of these the .as files that need to be edited to change button dimensions.

After altering the .fla file to make the background shallower (in depth) I have developed a ‘gap’ between the main menu and sub menus. And as you might guess, when the mouse rolls over this space, the sub-menu goes away.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply, I will do that.

I apologize, I have one more question: If I wish for the rollover effect to change the color of the dynamic text instead of the button background, can I edit the .as to accomplish that?

Thank you again for your prompt reply. I like this menu very much.

Just wanted to add, I am referring to the Main Menu. The Sub-Menu rollovers work well with background rollover effect. Thanks!

Hi, I’m trying to implement your Vertical XML menu – 8981 – I need to be able to load SWF files via the MAIN button, not the sub menu button.

In actions.as: Lines 103 and 133: loadMovieNum(_root.menuArray[_root.selectedMenu].getSLA[k],1)

This works for the sub menus but not the main menu.

thanks for your help with this. Kevin

There’s no error return.

This works though.

In XML file: name=”ABOUT” link=”about.swf”

In actions.as: Lines 103 and 133: Change the getUrl to: loadMovieNum(_root.menuArray[this._parent._parent.nr].getMenuLink, 2);
