AATW - added along the way

  • Add easing – 26 Mac 08 – in the function called ‘mv’ 
    change this:

levh._y = -(Math.ceil(stagecur/100*leng));

to this:

dest = -Math.ceil((stagecur/100*leng));
speed = 5;
if(stagecur < 50){
    levh._y += Math.ceil((dest-levh._y)/speed);
}else{
    levh._y += Math.floor((dest-levh._y)/speed);
}
  • Bug fix – 03 Dec 07 – Uppercase = “false” messes things up. To fix this, get into ‘myScrollMenu’ movieClip from library on frame 21 line 89: 
    Change:
}

To:
}else{
    var dtxt:String = menu[i][0];
}

@encryptme

Hi, thanks for asking. I’ve made some progress. Some help to share for those who can use it: a) to activate a function without argument but returning variables, i needed to initialise the variables needed at root level and not only into the menu //my Functions. Example: 1)You want to call a function named play_movie from the XML of the menu 2) You want to call a variable into this function, named targetfilm which is the filename of the movie and the content path of the FLVPlayer component: on the root write: var targetfilm:String = “init”; on frame 1 FLVPlayer.contentPath = targetfilm; where you have your player and into the //my functions of the Encryptme menu write: play_movie = function () { _root.targetfilm = “name_of_my_movie.flv”; }

b) Now, encryptme, what would be super cool for an upgrade is the capability to add arguments to the function you can call with your menu: So handling arguments here:

releaseIt = function () { // if (menuthis.no != “link”;) { var f:Function = root[menuthis.no]; trace(“RUN FUNCTION : “+menuthis.no); f(); _root.tracer.text = “RUN FUNCTION
—--
“+_root.tracer.text; } and into the xml: calling “function(parameter,parameter,…)” rather than “function”

I will be happy to buy a new flavour of you menu if it can handle function with arguments! Keep up the good work Stratus

Hi there,

I just bought this and it’s looking good so far. I am feeding it a dynamic XML file and have discovered it needs more than 1 menu item to display.

Eg:

<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”iso-8859-1”?>

This will render no menu items.

Any advice for fixing this?

Cheers!

PS: Also what would you say to wrapping the two XML settings and navigation tags in another (like ‘menu’?) to make it valid XML ?

Sorry, the comments seemed to have eaten my XML snippet. This is the xml that’ll break the menu:

@ <?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8”?> @ Posted 4 months ago

@supagroova
im sorry im not understanding your question. About the valid xml, for flash use it really isn’t necessary but a good practice for sure.

Hi! Is there a way to tweak this so that the menu also scrolls automatically when the mouse is NOT over it?

I sent you an email with the question as well but thought I’d repeat it here so you can see that I purchased the file :)

Thanks! stacybird@mac.com
