Menus

yo, i was wondering if anyone knows any good tutorials to make menus where you click on one item, and then a bunch of other choices show up, and then you click it again and those choices disappear etc…

thx

have you tried to do a search in the box above?

Rev

yes i have… if i found something, why would i be posting? :sure:

You mean a drop-down menu?

hmm well i’m not exactly sure what it’s called… it basically looks just like a list when you first see it… like this:

+sports

+animals

+foods

then you click on sports and it now looks like this:

+sports
hockey
baseball
soccer
tennis

+animals

+foods

…you can click them all at once so they’re all expanded, and then you click them again and the sub-categories go away.

…except the sub-headings would be indented… i guess it is a drop-down menu of sorts, i just want a plain text one like i showed above

I’m confident you can work something out of this:

pom :slight_smile:

ya, that’s a drop down menu. I’ve never tried to make one, but my guess is that you’d use a couple of movie clips to achieve this effect. Perhaps a movie clip within a movie clip. I think you should take a look at the tell targets on kirupa. That’s my 2 cents, hope i helped.

pom, the .fla won’t open for me :frowning:

Tell targets… Kirupa should take those tutes down, they’re bad for your health :stuck_out_tongue: Flash 5 has introduced the dot syntax, you should really use it instead of tellTargetting, ruen :slight_smile:

Try this one.

lol thx pom, the thing opens, but it’s got so many errors that it doesn’t do anything :stuck_out_tongue:

Arg. I’ve got to go to bed, but I’ll try to do something if I get the chance tomorrow.

yawn

okay thanks

ilyaslamasse, dot syntax? What’s that?

ilyaslamasse, ya, i downloaded the your file. It has some crazy code in it, and when i exported it, nothing. Is that supposed to happen?
