Flash Drop Down Menu Help Needed

I am using this set-up for a drop-down menu:
http://www.flash-menu.net/flash_drop_down_menu/flash_drop_down_menu_component.htm
I'm usign the vertical setup: http://flash-menu.net/flash_drop_down_menu/download_vertical_drop_down_menu_free.htm
I want to put it both on a static html page (for those who do not have FLASH installed), as well as the FLASH site.
This is the site: http://www.miltongordonussenate.com/flash/index.html
I want to put this menu on both the Campaign page, AND the Links page.
I have the seperate parts- the swf file, the html file, and the jscript file. I don't know if I am uploading the seperate files in the wrong place, or if I am just completely off base.
Can someone help me with this, please?

Ok, I see several people have looked, but no one has answered.
Is there a better way to do what I want to do? Any help is appreciated!

Drop Down menu help needed

Hi, on my site at the checkout page, it has 2 drop down menus, one for country and one for state. right now as it is, if you select United States from the first menu, you are then able to select which state you are from. But if any other country is selected, the Select State drop down menu dissappears. The coding looks like this right now
private function onChange(target:SelectCountryCombo):Void {
switch(target) {
   case _selectCountry:
    if (target.value == 'US')
     _selectState.visible = true
    else
     _selectState.visible = false;
   break;
What i want to do is make it so that if you select canada the drop down menu stays visable, and i've added the provinces into the list. I tried adding 'CA' along with the 'US' but that makes it stay visible for all countries, i only want it visible for the 2. it seems easy but i really dont know action script very well at all. Thanks a lot for any help

I just had another question about the same thing. Is it possible that when CA is selected, that a different data provider for the "Select State" list would come up? For example, if US were selected it would load "_selectState.dataProvider = PayPalStateUSList.instance.option;" but if CA were selected, i could have it load the same thing but with just provinces? i tried to just copy the coding for PayPalStateUSList and rename it PayPalStateCAList with the list changed to provinces, and have it load it in the as but i dont really know what im doing.
right now i just have the states and provinces all in one list, but its just harder to select when everything is all mixed in. it looks a bit unorganized.
another thing i would like to do, is change the total price based on the country selected in the drop down menu, if its possible. right now I have a shipping charge being added to the total from the shopping cart screen (thanks to kglad), but what would make more sence would to have the shipping based on wether its domestic or international. would it be possible to change the total based on the country selected?
these are the last of my questions, after these 2 issues are fixed my site is complete. Thanks for all the help
The coding for the page looks like this (both my concerns are on the same page)

Spry Tabbed Panels overwritting Flash drop down menu in IE

I am having an issue with Spry Tabbed Panels appearing above
a Flash drop down menu in IE6 & IE7 but it works fine in
Firefox. Would someone be able to educate me on what I can do to
fix this problem. The page that is exhibiting this problem is
http://us.shuttle.com/performance.aspx
I’ve tried adding “WMODE” to my flash menu,
also updated “SpryTabbedPanels.js to version 0.5 –
pre-release 1.6”, but neither way is
helping…….

Thank you very much for the suggestion. Yes, this is how I
tried:
.TabbedPanels {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
float: left;
clear: none;
width: 100%;
z-index: 1000;
I’ve been tried setting Z-index to from 50 to 2000 in
attached css, but still not working.

Rollover Button + Drop-down menu = I need HELP!

Hello,
I'm fairly new to this whole Flash thing, but i seem to be
doing really well so far. I have created a website that is in
functional, working order - all of my buttons, actions, links, etc.
are working, (which i'm quite proud of), but i'm now at a loss. I'm
trying to create a rollover button/dropdown menu effect for two of
my galleries, and although i've successfully created the pop-up
effect of the menu by utilizing the "Over" and "Down" states inside
of the button itself, when i render out the file and test it, the
drop-down text flickers. Placing the mouse over the original
button, everything seems to work fine, but as soon as i move the
pointer down over the pop-up/drop-down text, it flickers! i've
tried creating this is separate layers, i've tried increasing my
Hit state, i've even tried a stop action, but nothing works, and
i'm out of ideas. Help!?

If you are hoping to make linkable buttons for the drop down
portions, then they need to be separate buttons. If they are
internal to the main button, then they are the main button and will
only link where it links (if they don't totally throw it out of
whack--I forget what one of my client's doing that resulted in, but
the bottom line is... buttons inside buttons are bad news.).
My suggestion: Google "AS2 drop down menu tutorials" and see
what you can find. Googling is a great resource for finding things.
There will likely be a number to choose from, so read thru them and
see which ones match what you're trying to create and are easy to
follow (some may not explain things well... everybody and their
uncles apparently want to try to teach the world what they know,
regardless of their ability to explain things (or lack thereof)).
Some, if not many, will provide source files you can build
from.

IPhone 2.x 3g... Drop down menu! Need some HELP

My fiance's iPhone seems to have a drop down menu when she scrolls down from the battery/clock or anywhere up there. I tried to do the same with my iPhone and nothing drops
I can't figure out what could be the difference between our phones... If you know the answer, please advise.
Thx!

does it look like a entry field at the top and a keyboard at the bottom?
if not... what does the drop down menu contain?

Flash Drop Downs - Please Help!

THANKS in advance for the help you can provide.
I am attempting to build a flash drop down navigation bar and I followed the Tutvid video tutorial on YouTube, which launched successfully - it looks wonderful!
However, when I wanted to add additional drop down menus for other buttons, the video has a big gap in information for the beginner (me).
To speak the same language, the video is at this address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC7BaZCForE
Action Script sequences to scroll to are the following:
1. Movie where drop downs are created on timeline with action script: 29:13
2. Action Script content for Hit Area: 29.52
3. Root Layer action script: 32:33
I assumed that I should be adding my additional menu drop downs on the same timeline window as the first. I added new layers for the menus and frames, but I thought I should write the action script for the new menus on the same action script layer as the first. I added action script 10 frames from the first menu, so the next grouping began at frame 20 and ended at frame 30.
Adding the second menu (I want more but stopped when I tested) resulted in the two menus alternately blinking on and off so a repeating movie kicks in and no "over" and "out" functions for the menu are recognized.
I'll now paste in my code for corresponding segments from his video so maybe you can show me where I need to change my coding to make it all work. Apparently my function definition needs to change, but I have no clue what that means or how it needs to be different. Before I paste, however, let me share the error that pops up:
Location: Symbol 'mcDropDowns', Layer AS MugCup', Frame 20, Line 4
Description: 1021: Duplicate function definition.
Okay, here's my coding:
1.
Frame 1
stop();
clicker_mc.visible = false;
2.
Frame 10
stop ();
mugFrame_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, goBackF);
function goBackF(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(1);
Frame 20
stop ();
tableFrame_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, goBackF);
function goBackF(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(1);
3.
var navBtnGlow:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0x425616, 0.75, 0, 15, 1, 2, true, false);
navBar_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, navOverF);
navBar_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, navOutF);
function navOverF(event:MouseEvent):void{
event.target.filters = [navBtnGlow];
navBar_mc.setChildIndex(event.target as MovieClip, 1);
dropMenus_mc.gotoAndStop(navBar_mc.getChildAt(1).name);
trace("We are Rolled Over..." + navBar_mc.getChildAt (1).name)
function navOutF(event:MouseEvent):void{
event.target.filters = [];
navBar_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, navOverF);
navBar_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, navOutF);
Please know that I realize this will take a few moments for you to compare my code to what's on the video. Know that you will be doing me a TREMENDOUS favor by helping me to understand the theory behind replicating this step.
I look forward to hearing from you - THANKS!

Ah, no... I tested it further, and found that the script I
posted above is not causing the problem. This puts me even further
back than before... I truly have absolutely no idea what part of
the applet is malfunctioning now.
If there is any sort of list of known reasons for the flash
player to crash... actionscript or animation... I would greatly
appreciate seeing it.
Sorry if I'm failing to provide enough information about my
problem...

LiveCycle Designer 8.0 Drop-down menu help - newbie

I am new with LiveCycle and do not know much about coding and the like. I've search the forums and have not found quite what I need. (It might be because I don't know the correct terms to search - so I apologize in advance if there was a previous posting regarding this)
I am creating a form for lab tests for referring physicians to fill out.
for simplicity, I will just use the state, city example.
>>>>>> QUESTION 1.
I have dragged/dropped a drop-down menu icon onto the form, gone through the Palette>Object>Field>List Items to compile the list of states (in my real case, a list of lab tests)
How can I get the second drop down menu to show the corresponding cities based on the "state" selected in the first drop down menu? So that when I choose "California" I have the option in the second drop-down menu to choose from "Los Angeles," "Orange County," "Long Beach," etc
VERSUS
if I select "Texas" the list will retrieve "Houston," "Sugarland," "Dallas," etc.
I read about hardcoding and although I'm not quite sure what that means, I think that is what I will be doing as I will not be referencing outside of my form.
Also, the items in these menus are long/descriptive in nature, is there a way to refer to the lists in the code without having to type everything out? In my form (instead of "state") I will have lab tests "Test_1" with CPT codes attached, that is the list includes items like:
93880 - carotid duplex scan, bilateral
93882 - carotid duplex scan, unilateral
and in drop-down list 2 I have items like:
454.0 - varicose vein with ulcer
454.1 - varicose veins with inflammation
it would be such a pain to type each out in the code, but if there are no other ways around it, that is fine too.
>>>>>>> QUESTION 2.
The referring physician will have the option to email this form to the vascular lab scheduler. To prevent an "accidental" changes, I would like the form to be a "live form" for people to fill out, but upon return, the form to be a static PDF file, that is, the person receiving the email does not have the option to make any changes (purposeful or accidental), is there a way to do this?
THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!
again, I apologize for asking for help for what I'm sure is an easy fix. I don't know very much about the coding language, if it is not too much to ask - step-by-step would be helpful.
I'm using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0.
Thank you.

Hi Geo,
Thank you for the link.
Sorry, this is very difficult for me to explain not knowing the scripting language, but I will try my best not to confuse you too much.
I was able to get Thom's example to work, and based on that, I was able to get this hypothetical situation to work:
< script contentType="application/x-javascript" name="Example2" >var oTestOrdered = {
12345678912345678: [ ["-"], ["AAA (Endologix)"], ["AAA (GORE)"], ["Aortic Arch"],["other"]],
56565: [ ["-"], ["Varicose Vein"], ["Venous Insufficiency"], ["Spider Veins"],["Symptomatic Var Veins"]],
46546: [ ["-"], ["TA biopsy"], ["CEA"], ["amputation"], ["debridement"]]
function SetTestEntries()
ICD9_2.clearItems();
ICD9_2.rawValue = null;
var aTests = oTestOrdered[xfa.event.change];
if(aTests && aTests.length)
for(var i=0;i<aTests.length;i++)
ICD9_2.addItem(aTests[i][0].toString());
</ script >
HOWEVER, I cannot get something like this one to work (the only difference is that I added a "9" to the first option) it seems as though I cannot insert anything beyond 17 consecutive characters (no dashes and underscores are allowed either):
< script contentType="application/x-javascript" name="Example2" >var oTestOrdered = {
123456789123456789: [ ["-"], ["AAA (Endologix)"], ["AAA (GORE)"], ["Aortic Arch"],["other"]],
56565: [ ["-"], ["Varicose Vein"], ["Venous Insufficiency"], ["Spider Veins"],["Symptomatic Var Veins"]],
46546: [ ["-"], ["TA biopsy"], ["CEA"], ["amputation"], ["debridement"]]
function SetTestEntries()
ICD9_2.clearItems();
ICD9_2.rawValue = null;
var aTests = oTestOrdered[xfa.event.change];
if(aTests && aTests.length)
for(var i=0;i<aTests.length;i++)
ICD9_2.addItem(aTests[i][0].toString());
</ script >
The form I am creating is a Vascular Lab request form, where the test ordered (drop down box 1)has a CPT code to reference the test being ordered (i.e., 93880 - Carotid Duplex Scan, bilateral) and the test has a set of diagnoses (ICD-9 codes) in drop down box 2, associated with that test (i.e., 459.81 - Venous Insufficiency)
I have found that I do not have a problem with the "diagnoses" but I cannot add the descriptive test select in the first place. That is, the code works fine if I leave it as "93880" but not "93880 - description." I have also run into the problem that I cannot use dashes or underscores, nor can I type more than 17 characters otherwise the code no longer works.
Is there something I need to add or remove in order to make this work?
Thank you in advance for your help and patience!

Basic Form with Drop Down Menu Help

Hi Guys,
I have just started using dreamweaver and i dont use code or anything yet. I have been following a tutorial from thesitewizard which runs through the basics of creating a web page in the design screen. It created a form to insert but i need to know how to create a form which has a drop down menu to have say 4 or 5 options to select the normal name email comments etc fields and submit button to enbale people to contact me. Can anyone help with this. Pleae keep in mind i am very new to this and dont have any code experience etc at all.
Thanx in advance for any help.
cheers
chris

You will need to use a form processing script to handle your form data. This isn't terribly difficult, but it's more than you can do in Design View alone.
Have a look at this form building service.
http://wufoo.com/
Another one to look at - although I've never used it myself, it gets mentioned a lot in these groups.

Flash drop down menu (where to start?)

check out this site
http://www.marquiscustomhomes.com
i want to mimic this drop down menu at the top. i made one
similar to this using fireworks, but it's such a mess of code that
i want it to be easy and look better. as far as i can tell, flash
and javascript are being used on this site?
so far, i know how to animate objects by converting to symbol
and tweening. this i understand. but where do i start with this
little project.
Not looking for step by step instructions... although that
would be awesome.... looking for major concepts and specific things
i need to get this done. For instance, how many layers? Is each
menu item it's own seperate movieclip? How does rollover function
fit in? Alright, thanks everyone in advance... i'll be checking
often.
http://www.marquiscustomhomes.com

I am just finishing a similar project and would recommend
taking micro-steps beginning with getting the main buttons drawn on
the stage and set as individual movieclip instances. after that you
need to use actionscript to make the buttons do something (i.e.
change appearance and/or display subnavigation). This is just a
place to start.

Flash Drop Down Menu Buttons

I was under the impression that Flash allowed one to place
buttons within buttons. Basically I am trying to create a simple
drop down navigation menu. A simple horizontal bar with four
buttons that change color and drop down menus as the viewer scrolls
over the buttons. I would then like the drop down text titles to
change color as the viewer scrolls over the individual items on the
drop down menu. When the viewer clicked on the title ("down"
position) it would once again change color. Thank you.

I ended up doing just what you suggested and everything in
the Universe is back in place.
Thank you.

Flash Drop Down Menu

Hi all
I am learning ActionScript 2.0 for about 6 months and I have
created a flash based website. My question is how to allow a drop
down menu to animate outside of a Shockwave files boundaries.
I have seen Flash menus that do this and also I have
seen some banner ads that allow animation to display outside of the
swf file.
Is there any tutorials or information out there that I can
learn, or could somebody give me an idea of what to do. I
understand how to use the Menu component and how to create a
regular drop down menu within the boundaries of a swf file
javono
www.javono.com

you can't visibly animate flash objects outside the stage
boundaries. you can appear to do so using div tags so that's what
you should check.

JavaScript and Drop down menu help?

Hi,
I'm having trouble trying to get options in my drop down menu to update in another section. I have the below script in a hidden field and everything seems to be working but it keeps picking up the last line only when doing calculations (i.e 48) when I change it in the drop down menu to say "HBZ-200" which has the value of 200 it is still only picking up the last line and value of 48.
So to put a little perspective on things the below script is in a hidden field called stndwatt, I then want to calculate that in another hidden field called calc which has the following calculations - (Qty3+ballconsump)-stndwatt, this should then update my visible field called ElectYear1 which then has the calculations of - (Qty1+Qty2)*(Qty4*Qty5*Qtycost*calcs*weeksinyear)/1000, as far as I can work out my stndwatt field is only picking up the last line below which is 48.
I'm sorry if this is vague I'm not very familar with JavaScript or PDF forms and have been scratching my head all day with this.
var v = this.getField("ProductLineOne").value;
if (v=="T101221W-30 (3000K T10 LED Tube)") event.value = "21";
else if (v=="T101221W-40 (4000K T10 LED Tube)") event.value = "21";
else if (v=="T101221W-50 (5000K T10 LED Tube)") event.value = "21";
else if (v=="T101221W-60 (6000K T10 LED Tube)") event.value = "21";
else if (v=="HBZ-100 (100W LED High Bay)") event.value = "100";
else if (v=="HBZ-150 (150W LED High Bay)") event.value = "150";
else if (v=="HBZ-200 (200W LED High Bay)") event.value = "200";
else if (v=="ZSL-48W (48W LED Shop Light)") event.value = "48";

Are you sure the code you posted here is EXACTLY the same as the code in
your file? Did you copy&paste it?
If so, can you share the file in question?

Drop Down Menu Help

Hi,
I am new here and try my best to struggle though to find an answer. After several day of trying I give up and am turning to the forum for help.
I Have a Spry Horizontal Menu.
When viewing the meno in Live view (F12) my sub-menu buttons appear opaque (you can see the contents of the page behind it). Also when placing the curser on the menu it seem confused if it is on the botton or the page underneath it. The contentson the page is simple text. I read that there may be a problem with Flash but this is not the case.
I have tried and adjusted the Z-Indexes but it does not seem to help.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help.
PS. If the answer to this was answered before I am sorry. I did try and find it.
