Ok, now I see how complicated this is. I wanted anyone to be able to change the buttons, so I don’t know how long they would make it. I imagine 4 lines would be the max, and I could always just tell them no more then x lines. I am limited to how long it can be. Attached is the xml. I’m not giving up. If I can get it working I’ll post the .fla file. I’ll probably be able to come up with some more specific questions as I get into it.
Thanks for the help!
Hey hga77,
This thing just keeps gettin better and better!!!
Great work hga77. Ok I know that you made a button down version, and I have that. But I am trying to have that function with the v2 fading menu? I tried playing around with it and and I could not get the button to sick??
Once again big ups to hga77 for all his time and great information;)

On post #221 I uploaded v3 of this menu. I want to incorporate the following in v3:
and i’ll post as soon as possible 
That would be great!! Can’t wait!!;):thumb:
I’m glad hga got that done for you, Salvador.
I have two more questions. Can the top level items be horizontal with the subitems still vertical? Also, can the subitems drop down on a rollover instead of a click?
I got the menuitems horizontal by changing the x position to width * d, but I’m not sure how to get the submenus to line up under the correct item.
Also, is it possible for the submenus to animate out instead of just disappearing?
Thanks,
Joshua
To be honest, if I needed a horizontal menu, I would not modify this menu, I would either build a new menu or search for one already made (many horizontal menus are around) since the coding for this menu was done mainly as a vertical system. A horizontal menu is not as complex as a vertical menu, because main items don’t need to change position. So why modify this menu?
But if you insist then show us what you have done so far and I’ll have a look 
Also, is it possible for the submenus to animate out instead of just disappearing?
It is possible but for this menu we have the sub-menus simply removed on menu close. To have the submenus animate-out would mean solving the problem of masking each sub-menu…etc…this is so hard to explain :hangover:
Hi there,
First off, just wanted to say that it’s a great job done on the menu 
I just wanted to ask a quick question to everyone on the board (dont you hate when people say that, and it ends up being hours of work?). How do I reference the sub menus and sub sub menus in the v3 of the menu from other MCs? At the moment, I am trying to make each of the sub menus the link to a slideshow, with each of the subsub menu buttons linking to an individual section of the slideshow.
The reason I wanted to reference the sub menus and subsub menus is that when a slideshow ended, I wanted to then close the previous submenu and open the next one in readyness for the next slideshow.
Sorry if I’ve confused anyone 
. Think I confused myself half way through writting this with all the sub menus and subsub menus.
I think the easiest thing I’ve done to this menu was getting it horizontal. Thank you for the response. I think I’ve just gotten it the way I want it, actually. The only thing I’m missing is the out animation. Is it really difficult? You don’t have to do anything if you don’t have time. I actually like figuring this stuff out, but any hint would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I dowloaded this one “xml menu_v2_fading_loading.zip” and it´s wery nice. I wonder if some one knows how to put the resize script for the (jpg,swf:s, , ,) like th one on the resize thread.
/M
Duh…I solved it:) thanks a lot anyway for the inspiration:)
Hi, does nayone know how i could get the gallery version to load the first image to load when the menu loads???
beetles,
I don’t have the code right in front of me, but try something like
containerMC.loadPic(“pic1.jpg”);
or check these threads where they had the same issue

I’ve been going through all these different photogalleries, so I’ve run across this question a couple times.

cheers for the reply sticmann, but the xml file is being created by php which is pulling the information from a mySql db, so as it is dynamic i wanted it to load the file which would be the first node from the xml rather then me hard code it into flash. Any ideas on ho wi could do this.
beetles,
These threads start with this exact question. They are different photo galleries, but I think the idea should still work

Also, on the menu v3, would it be difficult to have a timeout feature that retracts the submenus after a second or two if the mouse is no longer over it?
hga77 !

“xml menu_v2_fading_loading.zip”

nessie,
use the script from this post http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=584822&postcount=262 and take the code from the timeline and put it on the timeline in the fading file and this should be what you are looking for.

nessie,
Here you go the “xml menu_v2_fading_loading.zip” with the resize on it.
your welcome, but credit goes to hga77 for the menu and Cello for the resize script and all the other people who contributed to the resize script.
