Director 8 - how do I create a pull down menu

I have only been using Director for a short while and I am
trying to figure out how to create an interactive pull down menu.
There would be a title (click on title) then a series of Chapters
would show up under the title. By clicking on a chapter (or
releasing the mouse button) the viewer would be taken to the
beginning of that chapter. I have seen the pull down button in the
Library but have no idea on how to use it.

To use the Dropdown Menu behavior from the Controls pane of
the Library Palette:
1) Create a field member
2) Place it on the Stage
3) Open the Library Palette at the Controls pane
4) Drag the Dropdown Menu behavior onto the field sprite
5) Select the appropriate* choices in the Behavior Parameters
dialog
6) Run your movie
7) Click on the field sprite.
* What are the appropriate choices? That depends on how you
plan to design your project. You might like to start by creating a
marker label for each of your chapters, and using "Markers in this
movie" as the value for the "Contents" property.

How can I make a pull down menu in I web

how can I make a pull down menu in I web?

You can't do this directly in iWeb itself and it is quite complex - you need to use third party software and it is a matter of pasting code into the html snippet in iWeb and then uploading certain things to your host/server and then connecting them. It can get quite fiddly if you don't really know what you are doing and it only takes you to upload the wrong thing and get some code wrong and your menu will not show up.
Why not ditch iWeb in favour of newer software - try EverWeb at http://www.everwebapp.com and in EverWeb you can create drop down menus from within the app and it is very easy to do.
I would change now as iWeb has not been supported by Apple or sold for the last 2 years, so now might be a good time to look elsewhere and ditch iWeb for good.
I already have and purchased EverWeb and re-built one of my sites using this app and have moved my other site to Drupal so that I can do more with it and make it a members site - this can be done more easily if you use a Content Management System like Drupal.

Help in creating a pull down menu

I am looking for examples on how to create a pull down menu. I have looked on the CLDC classes but can't find one. Do I have to developed the code from scratch??
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi there,
I had the same problem a while ago and posted a message on KVM-INTEREST and here's the most useful reply I got:
There's no high level user interface component that does this specifically. If you add commands to a screen the implementation may use a drop down menu but that is up to the device. For example, if you add 6 commands to a MIDlet then a Palm Pilot renders this as 2 buttons under the screen and a drop down menu containing all 6 commands.
Using the low level API you can do whatever you like however. You could only use these "custom-made" drop down menus on top of your canvas objects
however. i.e. You couldn't add them to other types of screens.
Your code will have to be quite generic if you want portability however and this will no-doubt bloat things out a little. Still, if you want drop-down menus you can have 'em. You need to do some work though :)
Cheers,
Omar...

How can i create a drop down menu for set qty in my store?

I'm wondering how i can create a drop down menu for the qty module that sits on the individual product page. My client sells in quantities of 6 packs. I currently have the minimum order at 6 but i would like to give consumers the option for 6,12,18...and so forth. I was told that it could be accomplished? Hopefully someone can help me.

Hi Chris -
Thank you for your reply! I had seen your article before, and just now again attempted to follow it, but I get stuck. There are two things that I'm confused by.
First off, toward the top, referring to the initial button, you say to add this interaction:
ON CLICK; Play Transition to comboBox: selected
ON ROLL OUT; Play Transition to comboBox normal if comboBox is in over state
ON ROLL OVER; Play Transition to comboBox over if comboBox is in normal
However, I do not see these transition options. When I select the button, the only interactions I have are to Play transistion to state, Play action sequence, Go to URL, and two for videos. So that's the first roadblock for me.
But, trying to get passed that, I went down to the portion of the article that refers to adding interaction to the dataset items. Again, I don't get it, as I see no way to add interaction to a dataset item. When I open my design-time data menu, I do see the items, and am able to rename each item, add additional rows, and change the shape of the datalist layout. However, I see no way to add an interaction to a dataset item. I must be missing a step ... Can you help with this?
Again, thank you!

Hi Katie,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Numbers '09 forum.
Numbers vocabulary for this feature is a "Pop-up Menu". It's available as a Cell Format, and is set and edited in the Cell Format Inspector.
See "Using a Checkbox, Slider, Stepper, or Pop-Up Menu in Table Cells" starting on page 96 of the Numbers '09 User Guide.
This guide, and the equally useful iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide are available for download through the Help menu in Numbers.

How do I create a drop down menu with Code Snippets and Flash CS5?

Hi
I am wondering how to create a drop down menu using the Code Snippets and CS5?
There are some older tutorials out there and it would be nice if someone could create an updated drop down menu tutorial, and it might be me doing this after I have figured out the best and easiest way to create one, but before that I need some pointers.
Thanks!
Have a great day!

You can use panel widget to create manual menu where set to show target on rollover.

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.

How can I create a drop down menu from an array

Hello all,
I am attempting to create a subvi that allows the end user to add a part number to an .txt file, and assigns that part number a value than can be used to select one of two modes of communication to be used to write to a EEPROM. I am using the "write key.vi" and the "read key.vi" to create and read the .txt file. What I would like to do is is use "get section names.vi" to read all of the part numbers and dump them into a drop down menu after the end user generates the file using the subvi.
I guess my question is how do I dump a 1D string array into a drop down menu.
I have attached some semi-functional .vi's to give an idea of what i am attempting to do.

Place a Ring control on your front panel, then create a property node on the block digram. You can wire the output array of "Get Section Names" to populate the Strings[ ] property of the Ring.
Retrieve the specific string selected by the operator by wiring the Ring control to the Index Array function.
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

How do i create a drop down menu???

This is nothing to do with creating a run-time menu, rather it is to do with creating a sort of drop down or drop up menu selection with three or more options. I want to have a button at the buttom of the front panel, when you click on it, a menu which contains some options should appear (kind of Start button menu in Windows), and after chosing one option it disapears (the menu). How do i do it in LabView. Thanks

you can create an event structure that will trigger an event upon a button hit. Now you will have to be careful when using an enum if you want to populate it dynamically. You cannot write directly to the strings property of an enum. I would suggest using a text box and right clicking on it to create a property node. Once you have created the property node then write to the strings property and you will be able to write an array of strings. You can programmatically remove your options from that array before writing it based on what button was hit. Hope this helps.

How can I create a sub down menu specific for the first down down menu response

I want to create a survey that has a drop down menu, for example first listing the state. Based on the answer the next drop down menu will only have the cities in that state selected to choose from

Hi,
You may want to use the skip logic rule (available to paid users), https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en/library/skip.html
You will not be able to automatically change the second drop down choices , i.e., show/no show based on previous response, but with skip logic rule you could create multiple drop down fields so that each one of these drop down fields will only show based on the previous response.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Lucia
