AATW - added along the way

  • Add easing – 26 Mac 08 – in the function called ‘mv’
    change this:
    
    levh._x = -(Math.ceil(stagecur/100*leng));
    
    to this:
    
    dest = -Math.ceil((stagecur/100*leng));
    speed = 5;
    if(stagecur < 50){
        levh._x += Math.ceil((dest-levh._x)/speed);
    }else{
        levh._x += Math.floor((dest-levh._x)/speed);
    }
    
  • Bug fix – 03 Dec 07 – Uppercase = “false” messes things up. To fix this, get into ‘myScrollMenu’ movieClip from library on frame 21 line 82:
    Change:
    }
    
    To:
    }else{
        var dtxt:String = menu[i][0];
    }

Encrypt, how easy would it be to have these buttons loading external files (.swf, .flv, .jpg) in to it?

If it’s easy enough then i’m buying it!

Posted 11 months ago

I would like for ONLY the scroll menu to appear on my page. Basically, I want to cut out all the excess space around it and make it a 745×32 pixel swf . What is the best way to do this in the fla? My first attempt I did it but it no longer scrolls. I have CS3 .

Thank you!!

Trying to put multiple instances of menu in same .swf.

Renamed XML files…

What other modifications are necessary to avoid these arrors etc

Warning The linkage identifier ‘menu’ was already assigned to the symbol ‘PlayerMenu/menu’, and cannot be assigned to the symbol ‘MenuHitting/menuHit’, since linkage identifiers must be unique. Warning The linkage identifier ‘utility’ was already assigned to the symbol ‘PlayerMenu/utility’, and cannot be assigned to the symbol ‘MenuHitting/utilityKit’, since linkage identifiers must be unique.

Great file…thanks

if you duplicate a movieClip which has a linkage, you need to make sure the linkage name is unique… Right the movieClip see linkage.

also if you change the linkage name you need to modify the script to call the right movieclip. see line 76 on frame 21.

you can also share the ‘utility’ mc, so you don’t have to duplicate that.

Thanks for Quick Respones…

I’ve changed linkage which is allowing me to modify color and text look and feel, however, the width properties in xml file seem to be conflicting.

In other words…all menus default to same width even though xml config file properties are unique.

Thanks in advance

Hi, great file,

Would it be easy to add CDATA to the xml so that I can make some text bold and some text a different colour using html tags?

Cheers,

This file is useful, but built in a somewhat confusing manner.

I like how you give a user the option to write out functions and then call them from the menu… but the idea of embedding all the various core elements of code withing multiple time line instances was a little frustrating. you can absolutely call functions and parse the xml from a single frame…. you just need to check and see if the load xml is good, then init your functions.

In the future it’d be much easier not to bury code over various frames of a movie clip, and run it from frame 1.

I actually set up your clip to pass variables to a single function and found it a useful starting point for a good scrolling menu base.

it’s not a bad clip, but I hate digging around in the time line looking for what to edit. I don’t know abut paying $10 for this…maybe this one should be priced a little more reasonably… just my evaluation.

i did find the file uuseful, but a little harder to edit than necessary.

I’m having a little bit of a problem with this…

I have set the movieclip to load the XML as a variable:

myNs.load(myVariable);

And I have several buttons on stage which modify the value of myVariable.

However, this is causing for the menu to keep the old menu items PLUS the new ones from the new XML file.

How can I make it delete or unload the previous values before loading the new ones?

Thanks!

anyway to makes the list automatically scroll left to right when not hovering? if so, i’m buying.

Great scroll menu! I like it very much and it is really space saving. But how can I change the color of the animation? Green to yellow? I can’t find any option…

Thanks in advance!

@epcos
to change the look & feel. there are 3 movieclip assets which you can modify: ‘menu’, ‘back’ & ‘arrow’ which can be found in the library. double click it, will see the timeline above, move it to frame 11, click the green box, now see properties panel and change the tint color… :)

ops pls ignore ‘back’ & ‘arrow’ as these are only available in mySectionedMenu..
