Animated drop down menu

i have 3 headings that are layed out below each other. When
you click on one i want a menu to drop down and the other headings
to move accordingly, and when you click on another for it to close
up animated. There will also be sub sections within the sub menus.
This website is roughly what i am talking about. Any help would be
great.

It's easy to customize as it is XML driven, all the links
and titles comes from external source.

How to make animated drop down menu responsive?

Hi
I've made an animated drop down menu in Edge Animate. It works fine at 945px wide with drop downs coming from 4 of the links. When the window is resized to 700px I want to reduce the 8 top links down to 4 and have longer drop downs and the same again at 400px wide. How do I do this as Edge has no media queries. do I use symbols?
Thanks.

Hi garyt88,
Found something that could help although I have to admit that I have not tried it myself.

Animated drop-down menu buttons won't respond onRelease

I created a drop-down menu movie clip. Within it are multiple
buttons which change their alpha values. I'm having an impossible
time of getting the buttons to respond to an onRelease from the
maintimeline.
for instance:
stop();
_root.menu_mc.print_btn.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop("print1");
_root.menu_mc.illustration_btn.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop("illustration1");
I can't place any code directly on the buttons because later
in the timeline the actionscript needs to change for the same
buttons:
stop();
_root.menu_mc.print_btn.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop("print2");
_root.menu_mc.illustration_btn.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop("illustration2");
}

i don't think so. Sorry for my ignorance, but the code you
see is basically the only code I have in the movie.
menu_mc is located directly on the maintime line. Inside of
menu_mc are the buttons. If I place a button instance inside of
menu_mc (and there are not multiple instances of it) I can use an
onRelease and it works fine.
I can create an invisible button, place it over the animated
button and get the onRelease to work, however, since the buttons
are rollovers, I loose the animation with the invisible button
covering them up. I can't seem to target multiple instances of the
same button in the movieclip. is there any way around this?

How can I do an animated drop down menu in Adobe Edge Animate?

Hi everyone! well, it's easy to create a whole animated (fade color and opacity) navigation buttons menu in Edge Animate with rollover and rollout actions, but thing get too messy when try to make an animated drop down menú. How can I do this process more easy?
Thanks!

Is it possible to make an animated drop down menu and still use the menu widget?

Hi- I am trying to create a menu bar that is hidden with just a tab exposed to indicate that there is a menu there. Upon rollover, the full menu bar slides down and reveals the menu items. I can't find a way to make it smoothly slide down so I settled for the Photoshop button and just moved the button position in Photoshop to fake it. The problem is now I need to find a way to still use the menu widget along with this. if that can't be done, can I use the Photoshop button and populate the menu there and abandon the menu widget?
Someone suggested using Edge Animate ( why the hell is this a separate software from Muse?) to make the animation. If that's a possibility, can the menu widget be used with the Edge file that's imported? please help me get to where I need to go however it needs to happen! Thanks in advance.
Here's a link to a screenshot of my menu: http://www.groovindj.com/menu.jpg
Here's a site that does pretty much what I'm looking to do... www.bagigia.com

Ok, thanks! I have another way to do what I'm trying to do, I just thought it might be better to do it this way. Obviously I was wrong!
Thanks again!

How do I create this drop down menu?

I've been trying to figure out how to achieve this animated drop down menu and I just can't. I've gotten somewhere in between (animation using the accordion panel, and the rollover effect using the composition).
Any help would be appreciated. This is the example of what I'm trying to achieve.

Thanks!

Hello,
you can create the same dropdown using tooltip composition Widget but the only transition that you can add on rollover and rollout will be fading.
Please check the attached file.http://adobe.ly/1IxxKfO
Another alternate will be to create an animation in edge animate and use it in Muse as OAM File.

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.

Flash Animation Blocks Drop-Down Menu

I added a simple flash animation (slideshow) to a site I am
working on which is located under the navigation bar that has a
drop-down menu (created in Fireworks). When I preview the site in
Firefox or Internet Explorer on a PC, the drop-down menu is behind
the flash animation and all of the links cannot be seen. Is there
an easy solution to this problem?
Thank you,
Troy

Autocomplete does not work (no drop-down-menu)

Hi all
I'm trying to setup the autocomplete-input, but it doesn't
work. When I type anything into the textbox, the animated image
beside the box shows activity and I see the submitted data from the
backend in debug mode, but the drop-down-menu with the matching
records does not appear.
if I build a static list of possible choices in the
cfinput-tag, it works.
my cfc returns an array and this is serialized as JSON in the
calling backend-template (see code below). In source code view of
the html-page, I see lots of java-script and CSS inserted into the
page.
any ideas?
stefan
calling template:
<cfsilent>
<cfscript>
//Get Query
locationArray =
application.addressDao.findLocation(url.term);
</cfscript>
</cfsilent>
<cfoutput>#serializeJSON(locationArray)#</cfoutput>
relevant part of CFC:
<cfloop query="qLocations">
<cfset arrayAppend(records, fPLZ & " " &
fOrtschaft)>
</cfloop>
<cfreturn records/>

<br />
</cfform>

Rather a general answer I am afraid, as I can not see an obvious problem & solution:
# Note for any one off problems with sites it is always worth clearing cookies for that site and cache [[How to clear the Firefox cache]] &[[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer]]
# Try in safemode (see [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]) that is accessible from your Firefox Button. (but at this stage do not yet try the reset)
#* next try in safemode and also disable the java plugin that you have (Safe mode disables extensions not plugins)
#* for info: note Java and Javascript are different animals: http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript_is_not_Java
# if the above do not help then try the Firefox reset, '''but''' be aware you will loose open tabs, extensions, and certain preferences, you may need to bookmark things first so you can find them again see [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

Drop Down Menu with images in Muse and Animate

Hello,
i am trying to create a drop down menu with images as you can see on this website:
http://www.kadewe.de/
In Adobe Muse the menu with all pages in it doesn't let me insert pictures.
With the empty composition widget i archived something similar but when once activated the action it doesn't close.
My last try was to build a menu in Edge Animate. The Problem i had was that when i used the action click, open URL.
Inserted in Muse the new page opens in the created animation and not on the same page fullscreen.
What have i done wrong?
Thank you for your answers.

I am having a similar problem. I have multiple widgets on a page -- menus, accordions, tooltips, slideshows. As soon as I 'activate' a widget (eg: expand an accordion or play a slideshow) it disables all the triggers below it, as well as all the hyperlinks. This seems like a bug... I hope there's a workaround?

Problems with flash transparent drop down menu over html in some browsers

Hi everyone... this is my first post and it's about an issue
that's causing me a few problems.
I'm currently designing/ building my company's web site, the
test page be viewed here: www.musflashtv.com/test.htm
1) This layout contains an embeded flash movie (.swf) with a
transparent background, this is the main navigation.
The flash navigation has a drop down menu that animates down
and covers the html page (containing links) below.
The problem is that in most current browsers such as; Firefox
2.0.05 (links below template don't work), Netscape 8.1.3
(navigation drop down and links don't work) and Opera 9.10 (links
below template don't work), any links just below the 'invisible'
transparent area coverd by the navigation can't be clicked 'through
the flash file'. The exception is IE 7.0, everything is fine there.
(it hasn't been tested in any mac browsers though).
Because the area below the navigation on
www.kitachi.info/work is one large dummy jpeg file, the link below
would be a much better example to look at.
http://www.musflashtv.com/shows/ind...tlight-Sessions
The flash navigation is embedded in the html (tlp) template
file using the code below and aligned using an external style
(.css) sheet, this html code not only embeds the flash movie but it
also tells the browser to display it's background and as
transparent. The flash movie is embedded in a layer that sits above
the table.
3) The flash embed code:
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
name="shows-navigation-tranparent" width="851" height="300"
align="top" class="flash-navigation"
id="shows-navigation-tranparent">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie"
value="flash/navigation-tranparent.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<param name="SCALE" value="exactfit" />
<embed src="flash/navigation-tranparent.swf" width="851"
height="300" align="top" quality="high" wmode="transparent"
bgcolor="#000000" name="navigation-tranparent"
allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
scale="exactfit" />
</object>
Does anybody know of any code that can solve this problem or
know a different way of creating a flash navigation with a drop
menu that can be embeded over html?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated especially as
this issue is holding back progress in a big way.
Thanks in advance guys!
Adie

It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
last
year to their browser, regarding how Active Content (Flash,

Animated drop down buttons not working in movie clip

Hi,
I am working on this site: (AS2)
http://www.steamandclean.com/Index_w_1.html
I have two types of drop down menu. One under Commercial and one under Technical
The buttons are movie clips. The drop downs are also movie clips that start in frame 2 and are triggered on rollover.
The child buttons are buttons living on the drop down movie clips. They are set to getURL
As you see they are not willing to neither link to any url or will they run their move clip animation. One is a button and one is a movie clip.
The left movie clip has a mask, but it makes no difference if I remove the mask . It also has a emboss filter and no difference is I take that away either.
All of it is in one flash movie right now, but I will be splitting it up in a master navigation movie and individual swf's soon.
Right now I have the main movie, then the button MC then the dropdown MC and in the drop down MC I have placed either a animated (button) MC or a button. So it nested in nested in.......
In both cases I scripting the child buttons like this:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay(6);
on (release) {
getURL("http://steamandclean.com");
I have also tried to use
_parent.getURL and _root.getURL in stead of just get URL, but it does not work.
The drop down buttons seem to be buried. In the left side the whole drop down panel seems to act like a link?
What am I doing wrong?
Can you help?
ggaarde

Hi Ned
Thank you for your reply again.
I figured it out.
Your reply prompted me to have my main button on rollover to go to a frame number on the main time line and then move the content of the drop down movie clip to that frame.
The drop down panel now work and the child buttons animation now work as well. I just had to find a way to make the drop down panel disappear on rollout. Since I could not script the actual drop down panel I created three skinny invisible buttons and placed them on the right, left and button of the drop down panel. I scripted them to go back to frame 1 on both rollover and rollout. Done.
See the result there:

Thank you for your help.

IPhone 4 wifi portal login with drop down menu

Hi,
I'm extremely happy with my iPhone 4. I use it often in WiFi hotspots (hotels, university, train stations etc) and the new portal log in system is really handy. Previously I used a third party WiFi portal logging in app which is now no longer necessary. HOWEVER, there seems to be a problem with the iPhone 4 remembering log in protocols for WiFi portals that include selecting an item from a drop down menu before logging in. For instance, the WiFi hotspots in trainstations here in the Netherlands work with several protocols depending on through which organisation you can log in. Before entering your log in details you have to select through which organisation you have access to such a hotspot. The third party logging in app was able to remember how to do this, but the iPhone 4 auto logging in thing (sorry, I don't know the term) does not remember. It's frustrating to have to fill the details in every time. And I can't even use the third party app any more because it needs primary connection to the local WiFi before it can log in, and the iPhone 4 won't give a primary connection if you don't fill in the details to log in (and if you do, you're already logged in and the third party app is useles...)
Sorry for my rant, I'm wondering if there's a way to make the iPhone 4 log in tool-thing remember the protocol for logging in with drop down menus, or if there will be an update to fix it...
Thanks,
Tasmin
P.S. I'm running iOS 4.1

are you sure your stop() are in the right place??
eg.. on the last frame of the onRollOver animation??
also... why have you got on(releaseOutside); ???
onRollOut will suffice.
