I have a big question, perhaps too big for this forum given my mediocre actionscript skills.
I’ve been tasked with creating a multi-menu drag-and-drop information screen. A bit like iGoogle, but with one annoying difference. Each menu section must be able to expand and minimize and each menu below it must react to this expansion or minimization.
Dragging, no problem, of course. The expansion seemed possible by treating the interaction with the bottom of the upper menu with the lower menu as a collision, but I ran into problems with the menu bottom not being on the same stage as the menus that need to react. Since I can’t get the expansion, then the minimization is out of reach as well.
Is this even possible in actionscript, or should I pick up a Flex3 book from O’Reilly? Also, feel free to berate me for asking such a big, out-of-my-depth question (I did search extensively for any examples before I decided to post, though).
Thanks for you expertise
