Breadcrumb navigation in console extension not working

Question

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get the breadcrumb navigation working in my console-extension for wls 9.2.
Currently it is displayed like this:
Home >  com.bea.console.handles.JMXHandle%28%22No+context+provided+for+Loggers%22%29 ("Loggers" is the definitonLabel of my netuix:page element).
As described on [url http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs92/console_ext/addcontrols.html#wp1078025]page 6-15 of the "Extending the Admin Console" guide I added the <netuix:meta name="breadcrumb-context" content="handle" /> element exactly as in [url http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs92/console_ext/addcontrols.html#wp1078078]listing 6-7.
Do you have any idea what goes wrong here or any pointers what I might be missing?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Btw. Is there a more appropriate place to post this question?

Answer 1

Chariot, unless someone decompiles that swf we cannot see
your code or how you constructed it. I did do that and took a look
but not everyone can do that. In the future, you can either post
the FLA or use the "Attach Code" button to show what you've done.
1.) first thing I noticed was that your HIT area on your
buttons is the text itself. If you make a rectangle on the HIT
frame only that is slightly larger than your text, you won't have
such jumpy behavior when mousing over or trying to find the "sweet
spot" that will actually click. You've made invisible buttons, I
see. It's the same concept. That way, you can get rid of the
invisible buttons altogether.
2.) Not sure why you have several layers on your buttons.
Looks like you have a layer per letter. They can all be on the same
layer. :)
3.) Try to put your button code on the main timeline instead
of on the buttons themselves. If you're curious why, read
this
article.
4.) You only need one arrow button... not a different one for
each section. Again, place the code on the main timeline and
specify at each keyframe what you want "leftArrow_btn" or
"rightArrow_btn" to do. I just made up those instance names but
they'll do whatever you tell them to do even if it's different than
what you told them to do before.
Other than that, I don't see what you are referring to.
There's a lot of cleaning up to be done. That will probably fix
some errors. I've posted an example of how it might work for you
here.
