Best way to do a dropdown menu?

i've been exploring using a spry tooltip and collapsible
panel, not sure what is best and easiest to have a vertical
dropdown menu that opens when your mouse runs over a tab and closes
when your mouse goes off the tab, but remains open while you are
scrolling though the menus under the tab and opens and closes in
the same location regardless of where your mouse runs over the tab.
example of what i want:
Anthropologie.com
(the "new", "clothes", "loungewear", etc. at the top of the page)
how do i do this?

>i don't understand how to use these links.
Click on them. Read and study the page(s) they take you to.
>>what to i do with the code? how do i know where it
goes?
Sounds like you may be getting ahead of yourself. Start with
the basics. IOW
learn HTML & CSS. Here's a good start:

Most of P7's stuff are commercial extensions, meaning you
need a credit card
or PayPal account.

You CAN'T get the commercial extensions for free but P7
offers some great
free tutorials so you can build your own.

Best way to create pop-up menu's

Hi All,
I have been having a heck of a time doing something that i
would have assumed to be relatively simple - specifically creating
a pup-up menu.
My first set of approach was to dynamically create a movie
clip on a button rollover, and within that movieclip create several
other movie clips that i then assigned actions too. The problem was
that since i applied a action on "rollout" on the initial movie
clip, it became a button, and as such all of the sub
movieclips/buttons became in active (any click was only detected on
the parent).
My second set of attempts have been around the MenuComponent
(see other posts), but here too i have hit problems, initially with
animation and depth. I solved the animation issue, but the depth
problem remains.
Now, i see pop-up menu's everywhere, so i assume that this is
a relatively simple problem - so what am i missing. A google search
showed up lots of examples of how to do using menu that are created
in the UI (rather than purely in AS), using purchased components.
The first case is not an option since i need to create it fully
dynamically, the second would be an option - however i typically
need a far greater level of visual control than off the shelf
components provide (hence i have needed to build up my own class
library for many common tasks).
So after all that, i have a simple question.
"What is the best way to create a dynamic popup menu in
AS2?"
Regards
Neil

I guess you want to make your own popup menu, if I understand
correctly. Nothing simpler, your first attempt was in the right
direction, you just don't assign button actions to the parent clip,
because you won't get the child clips to work, but add another
child at the lowest level inside the parent, that acts as a
"background" clip/button.
And for the rollout for the entire popup, you can add a
transparent clip just under the popup (which is at the currently
topmost depth) covering the entire stage, give it rollover that
acts as your rollout, and make it not use the hand currsor, so you
can't tell it's there.
That's how I do it, anyways..

Is there a way to create a dropdown menu template for metadata entry in Bridge?

For certain categories such as keywords, I would like to create a set of standard terms to use for my department. Is there a way to create a template for a dropdown menu within the metadata window?
Currently running CS5.1

This was discontinuted in CS5 howerver you could migrate that plugin to CS5. I don`t know if you can do this with CS6.
To my knowledge they only provided a revised Contact sheet II script for CS6. In my opinion a very bad idea because they should have put all efforts and resources to enhance the Output Module PDF contact sheet that has far more options.
Still not using web galleries but the goal for web gallery was also to use this in the Adobe Output Module, maybe that provides you the options you want?

Best way to make a main menu?

Hello guys I was wondering if you guys could help me.
Im trying to make a main menu which is displayed to the user when they load my applet.
Im using 3 JButtons on one applet.
I have 3 separate applets I want to be accessible by clicking a button on the menu.
So the user presses a button and they are displayed the required applet. I have each applet working separately but cannot get the menu I require to work.
So does anyone have any idea how to make JButtons show another applet in place of the menu?
It would be great if each applet could pass a value between each other too such as a score.
Any help would be great
Thanks
pbd2

I would call a JavaScript function from the Java applet to set the visibility to "hidden" or "visible" of the tag the corresponding applet, here's some pseudo code:
<div id="applet1">
<applet archive=blabla.jar ... width=... height..>
</applet>
</div>
<script language=JavaScript>
function doHide( appletID ) {
document.getElementById( appletID ).style.visibility="hidden";//"visible" to get the opposite effect
//should call this from Java
doHide( "applet1" );
</script>

Best way to make a rollover menu?

Rollover menu in Flash CS3, ActionScript 3.0
This is my first project in Flash and I am having trouble
with this. Does it make sense to have a button that plays a movie
clip of the menu which contains buttons? Or should the button be a
rollover and in the over stage the menu pops up and there are
buttons in there?
Finally, if I have a button that plays a movie clip with
buttons that need to gotoandplay a specific frame, should the
script for those buttons be in the menu movie clip or in the main
timeline?
I hope this makes sense, please let me know if I can clarify!
I appreciate any help...Thanks

no, that doesn't make sense. but what you mean by a rollover
menu is probably clear.
don't use the button timeline to do anything, especially not
create a menu that's revealed on rollover of the button because the
menu will disappear when you rollover the menu (and out of the
button) or you won't be able to access your movieclip with
actionscript (if the movieclip is part of the button's rollover
state.
so, use a movieclip button.

Can the dropdown menu color be changed?

I can't seem to find a way to change the dropdown menu color. With the new user interface options of black or charcoal grey, the dropdown menu looks out of place being white.

Hello, there is no functionality to do that. It is a good suggeston, but it might be a setting controlled by the operating system.

How to contorl ring's dropdown menu position?

Hi All,
I have ring controls on FP. The problem is, when the ring text string is long, the dropdown menu goes over the screen and shows up a few centimeters over to the left.
Any way to control the dropdown menu position? It's just not in the right spot and looks wired.
Thanks a lot for any help.
Anne

Since the ring control on FP is just beside the monitor right border and its text string is longer than it's actual size, when I click on it, the dropdown menu shows up a few centimeters over to the left instead of going out of the screen. I guess it's a build in feature, but looks bad.
I am using classic ring contol, and labview 8.5.1.
Here is the screencopy. Thanks

What is the best way to create a drop down Menu

It is my frist time using Dreamwaever CC and i was wondering if there was a jQuery UI widget that could make, creating a drop down menu easir.

*Best* is subjective and depends on what you require.
For multi-level CSS drop-menus, this one is nice:

Best way to make a menu that shows up on all pages and that's easy to add links to later?

Hi everyone, first post on the forums. I am very new to using Dreamweaver and making web pages in general, so bear with me
Here's what I want to do:
1. Make a web site with a menu bar on the left with about 30 links.
2. All 30 links go to different pages on the same website, and each page has the exact same layout, only the body text is different (same placement of advertising, menu, etc.)
3. I want to be able to add links to that menu quickly and easily.
In other words, I basically want to just make one static menu that shows up the same way on each page of my site.
Now, how I am thinking is best to do this is to make one menu its own page (in its own frame??) and just have each page on my site link to that menu, so that whenever I want to update the menu, I don't have to update the static menu on each page of my website, only the one menu.html or whatever.
This is probably the easiest thing in the world to do and I'm probably not using the proper terminology or anything, but I hope that I have explained myself clearly.
Please respond if you have any ideas about how to accomplish this. Thank you!

While Breqent is right that server side includes are the best way of doing this if you aren't up on
server side coding then you can use Dreamweaver to manage you menu.
You do this by simply ensuring you never edit the menu area on any individual page.
It should therefore be identical on all page and as such you can just use find and replace across the entire site or folder to edit all occurances of your menu.
I hope this helps.

I'm creating an epk and I need to add a bio to the menu. Can I import the text file or do I need to retype the bio somewhere? What is the best way to proceed?

Electronic Press Kit.
Usually in the form of video outtakes, movie trailers, cast and crew interviews. Basically, the stuff that gets bunged onto commercial DVDs as extras or ends up on late night TV "Making Of..." shows.
To answer the OP, you want a button on the menu that leads to a still image, or series of them, set up as a slide show. You can copy/paste the text in DVD Studio and then add formatting via the Text menu. (Highlight the text and right click to access formatting controls). Or do it in a graphics application using the appropriate video image preset.

Iphone 4s coming friday, what is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across.

What is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across. If I do a restore as I have when previously from one iphone to another it has shown (in settings, usage) the cumulative usage from previous phones so all the hours of calls on all previous iphones will be displayed even though its brand new. Anyone know how I can get my notes (from standard iphone notes app) to my new iphone 4s without restoring from previous iphone 4. Thanks for any help offered.

First, if you haven't updated to iTunes 10.5, please update now as you will need it for the iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
Once you're done installing iTunes 10.5, open it. Connect your iPhone to iTunes using the USB cable. Once your iPhone pops up right click on it. For example: an iPhone will appear and it will say "Ryan's iPhone."
Right click on it and select "Backup" from the dropdown menu. It will start backing up. This should backup your notes.
Please tell me if you have any problems with backing up.
Once you backup and get your iPhone 4S, you must follow these steps. If you don't follow these steps, you will not be able to get your notes on your new iPhone 4S.
Open up iTunes again then right click on your device (iPhone 4S). Once you do you will see a dropdown menu. It will say "Restore from Backup..." Select this and it'll ask for a backup, select it from the dropdown menu. For example "Ryan's iPhone - October 12, 2011." Pick that and it will restore to your backup. Do this when you get your iPhone 4S so you will not lose anything. Even though you're restoring, you're getting back, since you're getting the previous settings, notes, contacts, mail and other settings from your old iPhone. You'll still have Siri though! So, restore when you first get it. Also frequently backup your device, as it will be worth it. You can restore from a backup if something goes wrong or save your data for a future update.
Once you do that, you should have your notes on your new iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
Please tell me if you need any help.
I hoped I answered your questions and solved your problem!

What is the best way to import photos from iPhoto 9 into PSE 11?

I just installed PSE 11 and I would like to move the pictures from my iPhoto 9 Library in to PSE 11.
What is the best way to accomplish this as far as accuracy of data?
Thank you!
Len

There is a direct option in Organizer which lets you import from iPhoto. This is under Import dropdown menu in left panel.
If you are importing from iPhoto'09, your Tags, Albums Events, captions, star rating would also get imported apart from your media. This works differently for iPhoto'011 where you can get only the media to the Organizer,
Just a couple of things to know:
1. If in iPhoto preferences, you have chosen to create copies of your photos in iPhoto library and your library hence refers to the media store inside the library package, then on importing from iPhoto, Organizer would create copies of all those media under your pictures folder. That means, it would not corrupt your iPhoto package or modify it in any way.
2. However, if in iPhoto, you are organizing by using references to original location on your Hard drive i.e. you are not creating copies of media in iPhoto library then on importing from iPhoto to Organizer, the Organizer would also use the same references and would not create copies of the media.
Hope that helps!

The best way to import photos from Picasa to iPhoto

Hi,
Many of my friends share their pictures online using picasa. Sometimes, I'd like to copy these pictures to keep a backup offline. As a software, I use iPhoto; not picasa. What is the best way to import pictures from picasa to iPhoto?
I first tried to subscribe to the RSS feed using iPhoto and then copy the pictures from there to my library, but then the dates of the pictures are set wrong: instead of indicating when the picture was shot, it indicates some other date (I guess it indicates the date when the picture was uploaded to picasa).
Then I decided to install the software picasa.app. From the webalbum of my friends, I could download the pictures directly to picasa.app. Then I exported them to the desktop, and from there imported them to iPhoto. The dates where set correctly, but I lost all the titles and comments of the pictures.
Do you have any method to download the pictures while keeping both the dates and the titles correctly?
Thanx!

Best way to create vertical slide navigation

I would like to create a nice navigation that opens up vertically to help users get around. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks!
Van

Hello,
The rollover or dropdown menu will be the biggest issue, best way to realize that would be using a widget. I have been trying for another user to create a flyout menu, using effects triggered by advanced actions, but was not able to have this functionality more than once.
There are some widgets coming with Captivate: did you have a look at the 'GotoSlide_AS3' widget: it allows you to type in precisely the slides you want to offer navigation to. It will not dropdown on rollover, user has to click.
I do not understand your other wish: you do not want all the slides ready in the menu, only the ones that have already been visited? What if they did not visit anything yet, what do you want to show up for navigation? Which links should be disabled?
