Hello,
I’m (still) trying to make a dropdown menu with submenus. I have several versions I’m trying, but need advice from an expert: What is the best way to insure proper detection/activation of rollOver/rollOut states? I need my menu items to be able to 1) load an external swf; and 2) go to a specific frame on the loaded external swf. This, I can accoplish in all but the last menu I mention below:
hitTest: I have a menu that uses hitTest, but it’s very chokey. Is hitTest too CPU intensive?
onEnterFrame: I also have ones that are based on on(rollOver) with onEnterFrame functions. This gets chokey too, sometimes, but not as badly as the hitTest one above.
lotsofscript: The last one I wish I could use populates the menu content via Actionscript. There’s a HUGE thing of code at the very beginning where you specify what the menu items will be, and it just “happens” (i.e., I don’t know what I’m talking about, but it was a lovely tutorial.) Because this is my very very favorite one, if someone could help me with this file, I would really appreciate it. [file attached, if anyone would be willing]
I’m certain that there are numerous other ways to do rollOver/Out states that are effective and not CPU intensive. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you so much for your time!
