Drop Down Menu - Clipping in IE

Hello,
I'm having an issue with drop down menus when displayed in
IE6. The site is at www.dtoomey.com and the menus in question are
on the left margin of the page, with a grey background.
Basically, with Opera, Firefox and Safari (mac/pc), the text
box contained within the menus expands in order to display all
text, when a user accesses the menu. However, IE6 users cannot read
the whole menu, as the text box clips off the text.
I have applied a style to the menu:
.dropdown {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0px;
border-top-width: 1px;
border-right-width: 1px;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-left-width: 1px;
border-top-color: #FFFFFF;
border-right-color: #FFFFFF;
border-bottom-color: #FFFFFF;
border-left-color: #FFFFFF;
list-style-type: none;
width: 125px;
overflow: auto;
I'm new to CSS, and am not confident I've done the right
thing here, but the width of the boxes, when unused, can't exceed
125px, without messing up the layout.
I hope someone could offer some hints, as I've searched these
forums and the web without any result.
Kind regards,
jackson.

Safari won't provide a drop down menu when I click on paper clip in outlook email. Any help on this would be great.

I am using Microsoft Outlook for work email and Safari won't display a drop down menu when I click on the paper clip for attachments. The IT person at work says the browser isn't working or Safari isn't updated and I should try a different browser. My other Comcast email is fine. I can attach anything. Any help would be great.

You could try enabling the Develop menu and try using IE but no guarantees. Not surprising that (Microsoft) Outlook isn't compatible with Apples' Safari.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Prerferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now from the Safari menu bar top of your screen click Develop > User Agent
Try IE 7, 8, or 9.

Why can't I find preferances in the edit tabs drop down menu?

Although I had Indesign CS6 for over a year this is my first time using it . I want to set the default page size to inches, instead of using Indesigns default settings. Following Terry Whites instruction From the video clip on YouTube I tried finding Preferances in the Edit tabs menu, But when I click on the edit tab I can't find preferances in the drop down menu. What am I doing wrong or what am I not doing. sombody please help me to change this setting. I know nothing about the measurement type that indesign uses as a default.
Thank you, For your answers.

If you use a Mac they'd be under the InDesign menu....

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.

Simple Drop Down Menu buttons not working

I'm having a bit of trouble getting a button in a hoover over drop down menu to link to another scene in the .swf movie. I just doing a basic drop down menu (example here: http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Interactivity/Navigation/Drop_dow-Phlook-951/index.php) with a couple of buttons with in a movie clip, the movie clip being the "button" someone hoovers over. The buttons however are not going to the corrisponding scene I have them set up to. What's strange is that if I set in the buttons action panel to go to an url instead of a scene, in the .swf movie the button works when I click it...it wants to go the specificed url. Nothing happens when it's set to go to a scene. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply Ned. The code I'm using on the buttons is the same method I'm using for the regular buttons (i.e. not with in a movie clip).
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene X", 1);
I like and appreciate the idea on keeping it with in the same timeline, but that didn't work either. This is all very strange, because as I said, the buttons that are not with in a movie clip work with that method in their action panel. And the buttons with in the movie clip work out to an url, just not a scene or frame number.
I'm using CS4, but I'm not sure which 'Publish' settings I should have it at, and on 'Profile' it's set to 'Flash CS3 Settings (it's either that or 'Flash 5 Settings').

Horizontal drop down menu not staying open?

Hi there again,
So now I'm attempting to create a horizontal drop down menu. It is meant to be a vertical tab that sticks out, expands to the right, then expands and drops down.
However, when I hover over the button (which is the blue box) and click it, Flash thinks I'm clicking the button on the bottom. The technique I used to do it must be the problem. I'm using a button inside a button. (In place of the "over" state of my buttons, I have inserted a movie clip of which in itself are layers). I've tried so many things to try to make it work to no avail.
There must be an easier way to accomplish what I am doing...but as I've said before, I'm noob and experimenting.
The link to the uploaded .swf file is below. It isn't the final file, but it is a small sample of what I am trying to accomplish with the navigation.
http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1354160938
Thanks!

When you roll over the purple rectangle, it expands to the right. You have to move the cursor to the right to get the rectangle to expand down, exposing the blue rectangle. The problem that you see when you roll over the blue rectangle is because the rollover on the blue rectangle causes a rollout on the object below and this causes the rectangle below to shrink up.
You can control this, but you'll need to use Actionscript to achieve the effect. Here's a link to one way: http://www.senocular.com/pub/kirupa/as3tips_p6.html.

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?

Drop Down Menu Component

I have completed a tutorial for a drop down menu. I test the
movie and clicking on a submenu item named Save under a main menu
heading named File and using a trace action, correctly identifies
the item as shown in the attached code. However, I don't know how
to use this result to then proceed to a movie clip named "Save".
(These are just sample names for my trials.) I would have thought
if I put a movie clip named Save with a frame label "Save", I could
just replace the trace (e) code with gotoAndPlay(e); The logic is
working to a point, as when I do this, I get a compiler error
saying there is no label "Save" on Scene 1, so Flash is attempting
to find the correct target. This is the compiler message
"[MenuEvent type="itemSelected" bubbles=false cancelable=false
eventPhase=2 menuIndex=0 menuLabel="File" itemIndex=1
itemLabel="Save"]
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label [MenuEvent
type="itemSelected" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2
menuIndex=0 menuLabel="File" itemIndex=1 itemLabel="Save"] not
found in scene Scene 1.

at
flash.events::EventDispatcher/flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at
fl.example::MenuBar/fl.example:MenuBar::menuMouseHandler()"
I am wondering if a frame label and an indexLabel are two
different things?
I am using Action Script 3 strictly. Anybody out there with
any ideas?
Thank you.

Can you post a link to an example page where the menu is duplicated? Also, what version of GoLive are you using? The first thing that comes to mind is that the ID that the script relies on is being changed by GoLive to make it unique for each Component... why that results in it being duplicated I don't know yet, unless the script doesn't find what it's looking for, and then generates it automatically.

Drop down menu commands

I have a drop down menu that is a movie clip that works fine,
but i need to be able to set the buttons within the drop down menu
to goto the main scene to a certain frame. I've tried to do this
but cant get it to work. the buttons work if i set them to goto a
frame within the movie clip of the drop down menu, but that would
mean bringing everything from the main scene into that movie clip
and also the drop down menu itself disappears.
Is there anyway to tell a button within a drop down menu to
goto different scenes and certain frames?
Any help would be appreciated
cheers

on (release) {
_root.my_scene.gotoAndPlay(21);
}

Drop down menu doesn't work

I've created a movie clip with the first frame as button
(action: stop), then on roll over of button, it will go to and play
from frame 2 onwards, which contains the fly out buttons (action on
last frame of the movie clip: stop) When I export, the button on
the first clip doesn't not work on roll over, but on click, it
plays, and when it ends, buttons doesn't link to anything... Is
there special things that I need to do to it? or a drop down menu
has to have a complicated script that I have to download somewhere?
Please help~ Thanks~~

I consolidated all my floating windows to tabs the way you instructed windows>images> consolidate all.That worked fine.
After that I went to the arangr documents dropdown window and picked an arrangement (that wasn't grayed out) and nothing happened. (In CS5 this works fine).
Another question if you don't mind.
I open photos in the editor by file> open or command open and I get what appears to be the finder however the thumbnail of the pictures are very small difficult to see. Is there a way to make the thumbnails bigger.
When in the finder<I can go to show view options to make thumbnails bigger, but that has no effect on elements10.
Thanks for your help,
Sue

Drop Down Menu's Don't Close with Fast Mouse Movement

Hi, I am an extreme novice in Flash and I've built a drop down menu following a tutorial from YouTube - sadly this took me days! It functions BUT fast mouse movement away from the menu drop down seems to prevent the drop down menu from closing. Does anyone know of a fix for this?
Second question - I know how to create text links but when I do this the text's position jumps down without me having told it to. So is there a way to apply a link to a button rather than the text in the button, and is it possible to also apply a link to a movie clip?
Thanks in advance.

Linking to page in main frame from drop down menu movieclip

I have a drop down menu movie clip on the 3rd frame with links that I want to link to pages on the main frame. I tried linking them the same way as if they were on the same main frame but I'm guessing it's not working because the drop down menu is on a sub frame of the movie clip. Any way around this?

In AS3, _parent and _root are replaced by parent and root. And almost always in implementing them you need to caste them as object types. Try using...
MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndStop("3");

Drop down menu buttons not working

hello anyone..
i have buttons on a drop down menu that wont do anything. The
only thing the works so far is the on roll over stage. I am trying
to make the button navigate to a certain frame on the same scene.
The buttons are from my button1_mc.... and the first is affars_btn.
I labeled the instances accordingly and placed the script on the
first frame of the scene (2) which is where the menu and main info
is on. Scene 1 is just the preloader.
button1_mc.affars_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("2", 51);
}

Thanks for the reply Ned. The code I'm using on the buttons is the same method I'm using for the regular buttons (i.e. not with in a movie clip).
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene X", 1);

Is there a way to create a drop down menu with an automatic answer dependent on what is chosen?

Is there a way to create a drop down menu with an automatic answer dependent on what is chosen? An if-then statement perhaps? I am looking to add over 100 drop down options and would like to have a message automatically pop up depending one which option they chose. Thank you.

Hi,
You would use the skip logic to conditionally show form items based on the selection within the drop-down menu. Here's a link to a description of the feature in our help documentation:

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.
