Hi guys,
Im trying new website with the help of AS3 with XML.
I cannot merge 2 AS3 files into single file. Both as3 contains XML files. If i added multiple layers for each as3 it shows lot of errors … Here is my code plz help me to clear this.
**MENU.fla**
// generates a list of menu items (effectively one menu)
// given the inputted parameters. This makes the main menu
// as well as any of the submenus
GenerateMenu = function(container, name, x, y, depth, node\_xml, vertical) {
// variable declarations
var curr\_node;
var curr\_item;
var curr\_menu = container.createEmptyMovieClip(name, depth);
```
// for all items or XML nodes (items and menus)
// within this node_xml passed for this menu
for (var i=0; i<node_xml.childNodes.length; i++) {
// movieclip for each menu item
curr_item = curr_menu.attachMovie("menuitem","item"+i+"_mc", i);
if(vertical)
{
curr_item._x = x+ i*curr_item._width;
curr_item._y = y ;
}else
{
curr_item._x = x;
curr_item._y = y+ i*curr_item._height ;
}
curr_item.trackAsMenu = true;
// item properties assigned from XML
curr_node = node_xml.childNodes*;
curr_item.action = curr_node.attributes.action;
curr_item.variables = curr_node.attributes.variables;
curr_item.name.text = curr_node.attributes.name;
// item submenu behavior for rollover event
if (node_xml.childNodes*.nodeName == "menu"){
// open a submenu
curr_item.node_xml = curr_node;
curr_item.onRollOver = curr_item.onDragOver = function(){
var x = this._x;
var y = this._y - 95;
GenerateMenu(curr_menu, "submenu_mc", x, y, 1000, this.node_xml,false);
// show a hover color
var col = new Color(this.background);
col.setRGB(0x000);
};
}else{ // nodeName == "item"
curr_item.arrow._visible = false;
// close existing submenu
curr_item.onRollOver = curr_item.onDragOver = function(){
curr_menu.submenu_mc.removeMovieClip();
// show a hover color
var col = new Color(this.background);
col.setRGB(0x000);
};
}
curr_item.onRollOut = curr_item.onDragOut = function(){
// restore color
var col = new Color(this.background);
col.setTransform({ra:100,rb:0,ga:100,gb:0,ba:100,bb:0});
};
// any item, menu opening or not can have actions
curr_item.onRelease = function(){
Actions[this.action](this.variables);
CloseSubmenus();
};
} // end for loop
```
};
// create the main menu, this will be constantly visible
CreateMainMenu = function(x, y, depth, menu\_xml){
// generate a menu list
GenerateMenu(this, “mainmenu\_mc”, x, y, depth, menu\_xml.firstChild,true);
// close only submenus if visible durring a mouseup
// this main menu (mainmenu\_mc) will remain
mainmenu\_mc.onMouseUp = function(){
if (mainmenu\_mc.submenu\_mc && !mainmenu\_mc.hitTest(\_root.\_xmouse, \_root.\_ymouse, true)){
CloseSubmenus();
}
};
};
// closes all submenus by removing the submenu\_mc
// in the main menu (if it exists)
CloseSubmenus = function(){
mainmenu\_mc.submenu\_mc.removeMovieClip();
};
// This actions object handles methods for actions
// defined by the XML called when a menu item is pressed
Actions = Object();
Actions.gotoURL = function(urlVar){
getURL(urlVar, “\_blank”);
};
Actions.message = function(msg){
message\_txt.text = msg;
};
Actions.newMenu = function(menuxml){
menu\_xml.load(menuxml);
};
// load XML, when done, run CreateMainMenu to interpret it
menu\_xml = new XML();
menu\_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
menu\_xml.onLoad = function(ok){
// create main menu after successful loading of XML
if (ok){
CreateMainMenu(100, 600, 0, this);
message\_txt.text = “message area”;
}else{
message\_txt.text = “error: XML not successfully loaded”;
}
};
// load first XML menu
menu\_xml.load(“menu1.xml”);
