Hello there!I bought a flash template and i try to change it.My problem is that i cannot center my main menu when i resize the .swf file.
My menu is read from an external .xml file from where it takes the menu values (i.e. Main | Contact | Fotos etc).
At my .fla file at the loadmainmenu - movieclip i can see only one dynamic text and a seperator - which are probably populated through a function. At this movie clip it has no code.
At the main clip it has a layer named functions where it contains code, in which i saw this part:
function clearMainMenu () {
for (a = 0; a < xmlTotalItems; a++) {
nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + a].menuTitle._tint = 0x707070;
nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + a].bt.enabled = true;
}
thisNav = undefined;
}
//
function loadMainMenu () {
var mainMenu:XML = new XML ();
mainMenu.ignoreWhite = true;
mainMenu.onLoad = function (success) {
if (success) {
var xml:XMLNode = this.firstChild;
xmlTotalItems = xml.childNodes.length;
for (i = 0; i < xml.childNodes.length; i++) {
var itemTitle:String = xml.childNodes*.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
var itemContent:String = xml.childNodes*.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
nav_menu.attachMainMenu.attachMovie ("mainMenuItem","mainMenuItem" + i,i);
nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i].menuTitle.txt.htmlText = itemTitle;
nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i].menuTitle.txt.autoSize = true;
if (i == 0) {
nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i]._x = i;
nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i].tabs._x = nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i].menuTitle._width + 15;
nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i].bt._width = nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i].menuTitle._width;
}
else {
nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i]._x = nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + (i - 1)]._x + nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + (i - 1)]._width + 15;
nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i].bt._width = nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i]._width;
if (i == xmlTotalItems - 1) {
nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i].tabs._visible = false;
}
else {
nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i].tabs._x = nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i].menuTitle._width + 15;
}
}
nav_menu.backMenu_center._x = nav_menu.backMenu_left._x;
nav_menu.backMenu_center._width = nav_menu.attachMainMenu._width;
nav_menu.backMenu_right._x = nav_menu.attachMainMenu._x + nav_menu.attachMainMenu._width;
nav_menu.backMenu_left._alpha = 35;
nav_menu.backMenu_center._alpha = 35;
nav_menu.backMenu_right._alpha = 35;
nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i].bt.instance = i;
nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i].bt.instanceText = itemContent;
nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i].bt.onRollOver = nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i].bt.onDragOver = function () {
ZigoEngine.doTween (this._parent.menuTitle,'_tint',websiteColor,0.5,"easeOutExpo");
};
nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i].bt.onRollOut = nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i].bt.onDragOut = function () {
ZigoEngine.doTween (this._parent.menuTitle,'_tint',0x707070,0.5,"easeOutExpo");
};
nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + i].bt.onRelease = function () {
lastSubNav = undefined;
thisSubNav = undefined;
lastNav = thisNav;
thisNav = this.instance;
ZigoEngine.doTween (this._parent.menuTitle,'_tint',websiteColor,0.5,"easeOutExpo");
ZigoEngine.doTween (nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + lastNav].menuTitle,'_tint',0x707070,0.5,"easeOutExpo");
nav_menu.attachMainMenu["mainMenuItem" + lastNav].bt.enabled = true;
this.enabled = false;
if (this.instanceText == "submenu") {
ZigoEngine.doTween (nav_menu,'_y',Stage.height,0.5,"easeOutExpo");
if (subMenuOpened == true) {
ZigoEngine.doTween (nav_menu,'_y',Stage.height + 25,0.5,"easeOutExpo",0,function () {
ZigoEngine.doTween (nav_menu,'_y',Stage.height,0.5,"easeOutExpo");
subMenuOpened = true;
loadSubMenu ();
});
}
else {
subMenuOpened = true;
loadSubMenu ();
}
}
else {
subMenuOpened = false;
ZigoEngine.doTween (nav_menu,'_y',Stage.height + 25,0.5,"easeOutExpo");
closeAudioPlaylist._height = Stage.height - 95;
swfToOpen = this.instanceText;
content_blocker._visible = true;
ZigoEngine.doTween (content_container,'_alpha',0,0.5,"easeOutExpo",0,function () {
loadMovieClip (swfToOpen,content_container);
});
}
};
}
}
};
mainMenu.load ("xml/website_contents.xml");
}
in another layer named config i found this piece of code for placing to center a small logo:
function loadLogo (externalTarget:String, targetRoot:MovieClip, action:String) {
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader ();
var listenerLoad:Object = new Object ();
listenerLoad.onLoadStart = function (target:MovieClip) {
targetRoot._alpha = 0;
isLoading = true;
};
//On Load Complete
listenerLoad.onLoadInit = function (target:MovieClip):Void {
if (action == "ini") {
ZigoEngine.doTween (targetRoot,'_alpha',100,3,"easeOutExpo");
}
target.onRelease = function(){
ZigoEngine.doTween (content_container,'_alpha',0,0.5,"easeOutExpo",0,function () {
loadMovieClip (defaultHomepage,content_container);
clearMainMenu ();
});
}
//Center position of the small logo considering an area of 160x75px
target._x = 160 / 2 - target._width / 2;
target._y = 75 / 2 - target._height / 2 - 100;
isLoading = false;
};
mcLoader.addListener (listenerLoad);
mcLoader.loadClip (externalTarget,targetRoot);
}
How could i make my external menu to be placed at center while resizing?Where to put the code?(When i say center i mean at the center of the width of main movie(not center height also).
Thank you in advance
