I’ve been working at this for days now but just can’t get my head around it. I have never good at scripting so bare with me .
I have found a scrolling menu that take it’s titles and links (when you click on it) from an XML. Right now the titles get there parameters (font, colour, animation etc…) from a movie clip taged as “menu”.
I would basically want it to have two sets of parameters instead of one. So menu title 1, 2 and 3 would have the parameters from movieclip named “menu” and menu title 4, 7 and 8 would have the parameters from movieclip named “menub”.
I placed bellow the code that is inside the fla:
[COLOR=Silver]stop ();
fscommand (“allowscale”, false);
fscommand(“allowscale”,false);
// CREO L’OGGETTO XML
myXml = new XML();
myXml.load(“menu.xml”);
myXml.onLoad = ParseXml;
// PARSING XML
function ParseXml() {
if(this.loaded && this.hasChildNodes){
count = 0;
name = new Array();
titolo = new Array();
mainTitle = new Array();
menu_title = new Array();
menu_text = new Array();
menu_url = new Array();
name = this.childNodes;
for(i=0;i<=name.length;i++){
if(name*.nodeName.toLowerCase() == “menu”){
titolo = name*.childNodes
for(k=0;k<=titolo.length;k++){
if(titolo[k].nodeName == “value”){
mainTitle = titolo[k].childNodes
for(j=0;j<=mainTitle.length;j++){
if(mainTitle[j].nodeName == “titolo”){
menu_title.push(mainTitle[j].firstChild.nodeValue)
}
if(mainTitle[j].nodeName == “testo”){
menu_text.push(mainTitle[j].firstChild.nodeValue)
}
if(mainTitle[j].nodeName == “url”){
menu_url.push(mainTitle[j].firstChild.nodeValue)
}
}
}
}
}
}
max = menu_title.length;
_root.nextFrame();
}
}
I’m also placing part the code of the XML for you to get a better idea:
<?xml version=“1.0”?>
<menu>
<value id=“1”>
<bigtitle>BLABABABABAB</bigtitle>
<testo>Vai alla pagina principale</testo>
<url>home.php</url>
</value>
<value id=“2”>
<titolo>Chi Siamo</titolo>
<testo>Una sintesi di quello che siamo</testo>
<url>who.php</url>
</value>
<value id=“3”>
<titolo>Contattaci</titolo>
<testo>Per maggiori informazioni</testo>
<url>feedback.php</url>
</value>
<value id=“4”>
<titolo>Prodotti</titolo>
<testo>Elenco delle attrezzature che trattiamo</testo>
<url>products.php</url>
I also wanted the menu to scroll up and down but not continuously, just from the top of the menu and to the bottom.
I’ve placed it online for you do download so you cud have a better look at it.
