Rollover Button + Drop-down menu = I need HELP!

Hello,
I'm fairly new to this whole Flash thing, but i seem to be
doing really well so far. I have created a website that is in
functional, working order - all of my buttons, actions, links, etc.
are working, (which i'm quite proud of), but i'm now at a loss. I'm
trying to create a rollover button/dropdown menu effect for two of
my galleries, and although i've successfully created the pop-up
effect of the menu by utilizing the "Over" and "Down" states inside
of the button itself, when i render out the file and test it, the
drop-down text flickers. Placing the mouse over the original
button, everything seems to work fine, but as soon as i move the
pointer down over the pop-up/drop-down text, it flickers! i've
tried creating this is separate layers, i've tried increasing my
Hit state, i've even tried a stop action, but nothing works, and
i'm out of ideas. Help!?

If you are hoping to make linkable buttons for the drop down
portions, then they need to be separate buttons. If they are
internal to the main button, then they are the main button and will
only link where it links (if they don't totally throw it out of
whack--I forget what one of my client's doing that resulted in, but
the bottom line is... buttons inside buttons are bad news.).
My suggestion: Google "AS2 drop down menu tutorials" and see
what you can find. Googling is a great resource for finding things.
There will likely be a number to choose from, so read thru them and
see which ones match what you're trying to create and are easy to
follow (some may not explain things well... everybody and their
uncles apparently want to try to teach the world what they know,
regardless of their ability to explain things (or lack thereof)).
Some, if not many, will provide source files you can build
from.

How do I get the Back Button drop down menu back?

When surfing in a tab there used to be a drop down menu next to the forward and back buttons. It was a little tiny triangle looking arrow. This was really useful and needed. It is gone in Firefox 4 as far as I can see. I am using the default 4.0 Theme. If it is not there anymore I will have to go going back to 3.16 if the drop down menu is gone. Thanks for any help.

''How do I get the Back Button drop down menu back?''
* "'''Back/forward dropmarker'''" extension<br>https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/
I do prefer Right-click on tab for tab history, or hold a couple of seconds, as the drop-down marker takes up space and had been removing it myself. Although I think it should have been an option.

I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps

I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps at all. And 2, Lr everytime I load it up it gives me the option to retry or switch to and it takes a while for me to even get anywhere with it I think it has something to do with the catalogs? I've been using these programs for a few years now on a Mac...no problem but when I use a PC when I'm away coz it's the (only) comp available these happen PC's are so useless! Please can anyone help??...

I can give a few suggestions on Photoshop CC 2014, but Lightroom is a separate forum and you should ask Lr questions there.
First close Photoshop.
Then start Photoshop by double-clicking on it's icon and very quickly after that, hold down the ctrl-alt-shift keys until you see the reset dialog. answer "Yes" to delete settings, and let Photoshop continue to load.
It's tricky to do and may take a few tries, but at least it should reset Photoshop CC 2014 to defaults.

Pop Up Window and Drop Down Menu Question PLSS Help

Hi Guys,
Ne help would be appreciated I am designing a website in
Dreamweaver, I need to know how to create a custom drop down menu.
Is there anyway that instead of using the standard drop down menu,
you can customize them e.g use an image instead. For example, when
you rollover lets say Home a drop down appears but the menu is
customised e.g colour, text and any other small details.
Even when using the standard drop down menu, how can you have
a particular text, whenever I go to edit font list it does not show
the typeface, although it is activated in suitcase.
Secondly, how can I create a custom pop up window?
I would really appreciate any help for either of these
Many Thanks

hi,
Creator does not recognize (or whatever you say) characters like '<'. You can import js file which includes your script or change these characters for example put "<" instead of "<".

I'm using Mac with OS 10.9.4 and Photoshop CC. I am unable to access "Focus Area Selection". When I go to "Select" on menu its simply not there in the drop down menu. Any help?

How do I access "Focus Area Selection" in Photoshop CC on a Mac? It's not showing in the "Select" drop-down menu.

Select > Focus area is in Photoshop CC 2014, not Photoshop CC. So you must download and install CC 2014 to have access to this new feature.

Some buttons (drop down menu) don't work on a certain website

Hello.
It seems that each time a website changes something about itself, Firefox has problems on that website.
Website in question: http://wotreplays.com/
The buttons on the left side of the screen should act like drop down menus, where you can select certain stuff. I said "should act like" because they act that way in Google Chrome. But nooo...it's too much to ask something like this from Firefox.
Anyway, after opening the Java console, I noticed that each time I press the buttons, I get this error message: ReferenceError: event is not defined. GET http://mc.yandex.ru/clmap/20807356.
Did all the usual stuff: deleted cache, deleted cookies, looked in the prefs.js for any references to blocked content, started Firefox in safe mode. Nothing helped.
Checked Java version, and I'm running the latest.
Can anyone help me, please?
Thank you.

Yes, that website doesn't appear to work with Firefox.<br />
I don't know of a workaround to fix this, so best would be to contact the website and ask them to look into this.<br />
AFAICT this code has never worked in Firefox, so either this code is a recent change or the website creator has never fixed this.

Code placement for drop down menu within an animated button

I have a main menu comprised of 7 buttons; 6 of which are all
straight forward with an animation. (The animation is that when the
buttons are rolled over the button extends itself out to the right.
On the rollout the button returns to its original state.) The 6 all
function fine.
The 7th menu button is the same idea but with the edition of
a two button drop down menu that appears when the main button is
rolled over. The roll over part is fine. My problem is moving the
cursor off the main button to get to the sub-menu items without
having them disappear once the cursor if off the main 7th button.
Within the time line of the 7th button (all of the buttons
are movie clip buttons) I put an invisible button, removing the
sections over both the main button and the sub buttons. I have
tried the following:
(I should point out that the labels within the button for the
animation are an _up, _over and _out states...the buttons animate
out in the _over label and animate back to the original position in
the _out label,)
The code and where I have (unsuccessfully) tried placing it
are as follows:
1.) On the invisible button itself (within the main button):
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("_out");
2.) On the Actions layer (within the main button):
invisible_btn.onRollOver = function () {
gotoAndPlay("_out");
3.) On the Actions layer (on the main timeline...which is
where the code for the other 6 buttons is and running as should):
btnMusic_mc.invisible_btn.onRollOver = function () {
btnMusic_mc.gotoAndPlay("_out");
4.) Just a slight variation of #3 (still on the Actions layer
of the main timeline):
btnMusic_mc.invisible_btn.onRollOver = function () {
brnMusic_mc.invisible_btn.gotoAndPlay("_out");
The result for all four of these options has been the same.
In rolling over the main button (btnMusic_mc) it does animate out
as it should, exposing the two sub buttons. But moving the cursor
off the btnMusic_mc neither allows me to reach the sub buttons nor
does the btnMusic_mc animate back to its first position (as it
should). It just snaps back into that position.
Clearly I am missing something here. Any thoughts would be
appreciated.

Here is what it should read, and does on Safari:
Rates and Hours
FAQ - Yoga
FAQ - Reiki
FAQ - Massage
No, it shouldn't and it doesn't. It should look like :
Rates, Hours, Reservations
Rates and Hours
FAQ - Yoga
FAQ - Reiki
FAQ - Massage
FAQ and Reserve - Training
Here's the correct part :
<select>
          <option value="">Rates, Hours, Reservations</option>
          <option value="http://yogareikimassage.com/MG/Rates.html*_top">Rates and Hours</option>
          <option value="http://yogareikimassage.com/MG/FAQ_-_Yoga.html*_top">FAQ and Reserve - Yoga</option>
          <option value="http://yogareikimassage.com/MG/FAQ_-_Reiki.html*_top">FAQ and Reserve - Reiki</option>
          <option value="http://yogareikimassage.com/MG/FAQ_-_Massage.html*_top">FAQ and Reserve - Massage</option>
          <option value="http://yogareikimassage.com/MG/FAQ_-_Personal_Training.html*_top">FAQ and Reserve - Training</option>
</select>
The <select> item was missing. And if you don't want the first line in the menu (Rates, Hours, Reservations) then don't enter it in the first place.
BTW, it's not a dropdown menu. It's a selection list in a form.

Drop down menu changing values in a form

i have four different sites i would like to search by
entering the search criteria from my page. when they type their
search into the text box and hit submit, it would open a new
window, to the site they searched, displaying the results. i can
accomplish this with four separate forms, however to save space i
would like to combine them all into one form. in the end i would
like one form with one text field, one submit button, and a drop
down menu containing a list of the four different sites they can
search.
how would i do this? the drop down menu would need to change
a few different attributes in a few different tags to get this done
it seems. is that done with javascript? can someone help me out
please?

You could use the input of the drop down to dictate the
redirect URL in your form. i have done this and it depends on what
language PHP ASP CFM? basically look in the code for your
MM_RedirectURL variable and add a if statement after the code that
processes the form like this.
PHP
IF ($_POST['select_field'] = "site1") {
$MM_RedirectURL = "www.example/site1/index.php";
IF($_POST['select_field'] = "site2") {
$MM_RedirectURL = "www.example/site2/index.php";
redirect ("Location: " . $MM_RedirectURL . "");
exit;
This assumes your select field is named "select_field" and
the values are site1, site2. But you could use whatever you want.
Also add two more ifs or use else to make four, the logic works in
any language (at least that i have used)

Drop Down Menu manipulation problem

Hi, I have a dropdown Menu code for AS2 as the follow, this code is applied to a buttonOne on stage, and the buttonOne's next frame is the menu content.** No stop(); at any frame in the button movie.
onClipEvent(enterFrame){        // if the mouse IS over the menu ...
    if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {     // if the menu is NOT fully open
        if (this._currentframe<this._totalframes) {
            nextFrame();        // go to the next frame of the menu opening sequence
    } else {            // if the mouse is NOT over the menu
        if (this._currentframe>1) {               // if the menu is NOT fully closed
            prevFrame();               // play the previous frame of the menu opening sequence
***on the next frame, I have a buttonUp and a movie text1, buttonUp has code as the follow:
on(rollOver) {
    onEnterFrame = function (){
    text1._y -=4;}    // so text1 would move up when pressed.
on(rollOut) {
    delete this.onEnterFrame;
****NOW****, what I need is to make buttonOne work as a Press button instead of Rollover button, and when pressed, next frame will remain on stage even when mouse move away ( I will apply a close window button later on).
My problem right now is, I can change the first part of the code to :
on(press){
     gotoAndStop(2); //or something like that
while put stop(); on both frames in the movie, but then by doing this would remove the funtionality on
onEnterFrame = function (){
    text1._y -=4;}
so text1 don't move at all if there is a stop(); applied to that current frame. I tried a few methods but none work, tried to search the web but all the tutorials I found are all Rollover type drop down menu.

http://www.dcphonecases.com/test02/wordTest.html
this is the movie. as you see the because the next part of the movie is a word input test, it becomes so inconvenient when you try to type something into the field and your mouse moves out and the window disappear. (** update: just tested, on(press) <> gotoAndStop() method would disable Input-text field as well)
that is why I wanted to make it a on(press) <> gotoAndStop() method, and when pressed, the drop-down would stay until a close button is pressed.
but then the 'choose font' onEnterFrame function destroyed if I put stop(); at the frame, I'm not sure what to do now.
Thanks for reply

Made a drop down menu. How can I get the drop down to fade in and out? !

Hi guys!
I've created a drop down menu (with the help of you legends on here! )...Now I just need it to animate so when the user hovers over the main menu item, the drop down fades in.
Here's the HTML I have...
    <ul id="nav">
        <li><a href="#">Nav 1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Nav 2</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Nav 3</a>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="#">» Sub Menu 1</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">» Sub Menu 2</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">» Sub Menu 3</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">» Sub Menu 4</a></li>
            </ul>
        </li>
        <li><a href="#">Nav 5</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Nav 6</a></li>
    </ul>
...and here's my CSS...
ul#nav {width:920px; height:35px; list-style:none; padding:0; margin:0; background:url(navBg.jpg) repeat-x; z-index:999;}
ul#nav li a:hover, #nav li a:active {background:url(navOn.jpg) repeat-x; text-decoration:none;}
ul#nav li a {color:#E0E2E7; display:inline-block; float:left; margin:0; padding:10px 19px; width:auto; text-decoration:none;}
* html #nav li {display:inline; float:left; } /* for IE 6 */
* + html #nav li {display:inline; float:left; } /* for IE 7 */
#nav ul {width:208px; left:-9999em; list-style:none; margin:35px 0; padding:0; position:absolute; z-index:999;}
#nav li:hover ul {left:auto;}
#nav li {float:left;}
#nav li li a {width:190px; background-color:#efefef; color:#2e2e2e; padding:8px; margin:0; }
#nav li li a:hover {background-color:#000; background-image:none; color:#FFF;}
#nav li:hover {background:url(assets/images/frame/navOn.jpg);}
From what I can make out, I assume I need either Javascript or JQuery...
Does anyone know how I can get the drop down to fade in and out?
Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.
SM

Yes, you'll need a client-side script to do fade-in/fade-out fx. Look at jQuery Superfish.

Display XML in a drop down menu

Hi,
I've got Dreamweaver CS3 and I'm trying to display some XML
data.
I've loaded the XML in both XSLT and Spry, but I can't seem
to disply it in the way that I want (i.e. in a drop down menu).
Any help would be great.
Cheers.

Insert a Spry region. With your cursor inside the Spry
region, click the
Spry Repeat List button on the Spry tab of the Insert bar.
Choose SELECT
(Drop-down List) as Container tag. In the remaining three
options,
select the Spry data set, and the names of the columns you
want to be
used for the menu labels (Display Column) and values (Value
Column).

Hi Bruce and fruhulda,
ok, I found the keyboard viewer, it only shows the traditional symbol 'return'. something like a sideway u-turn continued with the arrow under. This is the Canadian or US keyboard.
btw thanks for your suggestion.
