I am working with a tutorial i found on here based on the xml menu in flash mx 2004. it basically creates a menu and populates it from external xml file.
rather than a drop down menu i have modified it so it works like a menu bar with the drop down items being positioned horizontally rather than vertically. My main problem is that each menu item is a different width, according to how many characters in the text length what i want to happen is that the menus all butt next to each other horizontally.
I am very close but not quite there and would really appreciate any help with my code. I have uploaded my fla as it is easier to see what im trying to get at. My xml file is basially formatted to produce a menu and sub menu items:
<?xml version=“1.0”?>
<menu name=“links”>
<item name=“Home” action=“gotoURL” variables=“http://www.google.com”/>
<menu name=“Products”>
<item name=“Floors” action=“gotoURL” variables=“http://www.someurl.com/something/somethin”/>
<item name=“Maintainence” action=“gotoURL” variables=“http://www. someurl.com/someurl/someurl”/>
</menu>
<menu name=“Services”>
<item name=“Installation” action=“gotoURL” variables=“http://www. someurl.com”/>
<item name=“Customer Service” action=“gotoURL” variables=“http://www. someurl.com/someurl/someurl.php”/>
</menu>
<menu name=“About Us”>
<item name=“Company Info” action=“gotoURL” variables=“http://www. someurl.com/someurl/someurl/someurl.htm”/>
<item name=“Showroom” action=“gotoURL” variables=“http://www. someurl.com/someurl/index.htm”/>
<item name=“Location” action=“gotoURL” variables=“http://www. someurl.com/web/index.htm”/>
</menu>
</menu>
<item name=“Contact Us” action=“gotoURL” variables=“http://www. someurl.com”/>
</menu>
