Hi Chuckanucka, very nice piece of work that you are contributing here.

As I am in Germany I have problems using the “Ã¼”, “Ã¤”, “Ã¶”, (called Umlaut here) and the ÃŸ”” for the text and description text. Even when I embed all signs, they do not show up. I tried with different fonts, but no way. Is there something in the code, which I have to change? Many Thanks for Feedback Bernd

Hi guys,

Loving the movie! Can you just confirm whether this supports AS2 or AS3 ?

I need to embed this into an AS3 movie as our current navigation component is not working!

Cheers…

Is there any way to freeze the rollover state of the clicked button ? releasing it back to closed only after one of the other buttons are clicked?

thanks in advance

Example click it once – it stays in it’s rollover state – you click one other places on screen and it still stays in the rollover state – but as soon as you rollover or click another menu item the rollover state is then released.

I needed to explain better than above.

thanks to anyone who can help.

ok, maybe asking to much but how about being able to adjust the Kerning(letter space) of the Description text (desc.t). I have tried applying style sheets and also editing the actual text field in the properties panel but nothing’s changing 0 kerning. Any ideas anyone – thanks

Hi!

I have the same problem with font like Bikul, but with polish fonts…:

“As I am in Germany I have problems using the â€œÃ¼â€, â€œÃ¤â€, â€œÃ¶â€, (called Umlaut here) and the ÃŸâ€â€ for the text and description text. Even when I embed all signs, they do not show up. I tried with different fonts, but no way. Is there something in the code, which I have to change? “

Love the Nav,

I was wondering if there was an easy way of changing the color so that i start with the original color and alpha and transitipon to new color and alpha. I noticed there were to color settings in the actionscript

var mainText:Number = 0xFFFFFF; var mainActiveText:Number = 0xFFFFFF;

yet when i change them nothing happens please let me no what i can do.

Again great NAV .

Hi:

I must complement you on a fantastic menu / navigation system that suits many a site design hence I purchased it immediately. I’m a relative newbie to flash and as such am a little baffled when I tried to load external flash files into my main flash file via your menu and would appreciate any help you could provide.

I am trying to load external flash files into a movie clip which I have called dummy (instance name dummy) that I have placed in a new layer in my main flash file yet each time I try this using what I have read in the above comments and in your notes around lines 102 -110 the files open up in a new window and not in the MC dummy. I did try changing “_blank” to “_root.dummy” but this did not solve the problem.

I have managed to integrate this menu into my main flash file along with the XML file but cannot get it to load external flash files (all in the same folder) into the dummy MC and would like to know how to accomplish this.

Any help here for a newbie would be greatly appreciated and hope it can help others.

Again a fantastic menu and thanks.

Hi CGnaz,

-in the xml, put the name of your swfs in the LINK tags. - at line 110 put something like this:

scope.createEmptyMovieClip("placeholder", 2000);
loadMovie(this.link, placeholder);

Hi, this menu is great, since I’m not very skilled with AS I ’ve a question … Can I make ONLY the first button link back to the previous frame of my movie and leave all the others to load external movie clip ? If yes can you please explain me how I do it?

Thanx L

hi laura972,

Try replacing the mainBtn.onRelease event with this:

if (i == 0) { 
mainBtn.onRelease = function():Void { 
// do something for the first button 
}; 
} else { 
mainBtn.onRelease = function():Void { 
// do something else 
}; }

Also the use of scenes are very outdated and should be avoided.
