Hi, can this menu work if it was put in a movie clip rather then on the main time line. cos what i need to do is put the menu in a movie clip and then be able to scroll the menu up and down, like in a scrollpane. ---

Update to v2: Added effects to the menu. You can change the entry effects for the main items or the sub items by changing the tweens within the corresponding mc (‘Item’ or ‘sub’ in the library). ---

lbeetles, you can load this menu into a movie clip. And about the scrollpane, that should be possible too. If I understand you correctly… ---

I’m not with u on this one…i’m not sure what ur tryin to do! what exactly do you mean by saying ‘scrollpane’? You mean you want the menu to move up/down? ---

im using the scrollpane component and i want to load the menu inside the scrollpane because i have a lot of buttons and i wanted the user to be able to scroll through them rather then one big list on a page. ---

menu\_v2 but with scroller. A few things to note: -If you need to load this menu into another swf ( main swf for example), you would need to add a mask for the area required. And if so, you would also need to embed the characters. -The ‘menu’ clip and the ‘scrollUp’ clip (both on the stage, second frame) MUST have the same \_y value. -This scroller will not function accuratly if submenus are added. Have fun 😉 ---

Andy242, to embed the characters, do the following: Open the library. Find the item button (not subItem button, not sure what its called cos i have no access to flash at the mo). Double-click it from the library. You should see a dynamic text box (This holds the item name). Click it once. From the properties panel, you will see an icon called ‘embed characters’ or something (not sure cos no flash ☹ ). Click it and then click ‘embed all’. Thats it. let me know… [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/xml-menu-done/97959.md?page=2)
