Help with actionscripting multiple drop-down menus

So I have 3 different drop down menus that I want to use, and I want them to all work together so that if I have drop down menu number one open, the 2nd menu will drop down while the 1st one is still down.
(I'm using Flash cs3)
Here are some screen shorts:

I'm relatively new to actionscripting all together, and I'm not a great programmer either. I'd greatly appreciate any help, I'm completely stuck and have no idea what to do.
Thanks!

Multiple drop down menus won't work

Hi guys,
Mac newbie here: I decided to give them a shot after a lifetime of PC use due to a friend's recommendations.
I'm trying to apply for jobs, and every single site that has two drop down menus, with one dependent on the other, won't work in Safari. (if I go try it out on a PC with IE, it works without any problems). For example, a menu that reads "country" and the next one reads "state". It will let me choose the country, but then the "state" one won't work at all, with the only option being "choose one".
As these are required fields to send the application along, I'm having to borrow someone else's computer every time I apply for a job, and that's getting old fast. Any ideas on how to get Safari to quit hanging up on the dropdowns?
I have no idea if this matters or not, but I bought my Mac when I lived in Japan. I'm still running the English version of the OS, though.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

I use www.alldatapro.com for auto repair information. It a members only site so it might be a bad example. The problem im having is, i cant select the first option in any dropdown menu. The badpart about that is some of the menus only have one option. In such a case, i have to log in on regular computer, put the info in, then reload the website on the ipad so i can use the "previous vehicles" option. I have a jailbroken ipad running 4.3.1. The dropdown mnus worked perfect until i upraded to 4.2 and i still havent found the source.

Help writing code for drop down menus and/or radio buttons

Hey, new to the forums, fairly new to programming in Java. I want to put up a "Ebay store", on Ebay.... well I guess that's obvious. I want to make a menu that either incorporates "Drop-down menus" (preferred - see below) or radio buttons. I do not know how to code these or how to incorporate them with the Ebay interface so that the new options selected by the customer with automatically adjust the price of the item. All help is appreciated.

I'm guessing what you want to do has nothing to do with Java. It probably has more to do with JavaScript. You are probably going to have to learn a little HTML (Drop-down menus are really select boxes) and then some JavaScript to go along with it (onChange="javascript: doPriceChange();"). I have absolutely no idea about the EBay interface so this is all just a guess. Here's a google search for adding javascript to a select box.

Multiple drop down menus

I have generalised this question to JSP's i'm using the struts framework but it applies to JSP's as well anyway:
I have many part drop down menus. These are mapped to partXX, part XX where XX represents the part number. This is a bad way of doing it because i can't easily add more parts to my form without creating more variables. I've tried storting it in an array but the last selection is stored and then previous one is wiped when the form is submitted. Any ideas?

Given that you use JSP twice in the first sentence,
possibly the JSP forum would be a smarter place to
ask your question?

Need multiple drop down menus to populate text in one text box

Not sure how to do this. I have 27 drop down boxes with the choice of true or false. What I need is that everytime someone chooses false it will create a list of subjects that were false at the end of the document in the notes section.
I tried a simple false export value and on blur - run a java script 'this.getField('NOTES: Resource concerns').value = event.value;', but it will replace the previous drop down boxes subject. Is there a way for me to get multiple lines included in the notes section?
Thank you

This is quick and from memory, i can't test it right now, but it should give you an idea. Put this in a document level script:
function SetNotesField() {
     // Set up a variable to hold the entire NOTES field value
     var Notes
     // Add the value for each dropdown box here (replace 'GetValueFor_SE_FieldHere' with the value you will use for that dropdown)
     if (this.getField('SE').value == 'true') {
          Notes = Notes + 'GetValueFor_SE_FieldHere' + '\r' // add a carriage return if needed
     if (this.getField('SQ').value == 'true') {
          Notes = Notes + 'GetValueFor_SQ_FieldHere' + '\r' // add a carriage return if needed
    //...Duplicate the above for any other fields you need
     // Set the value of the notes field to the concatenated value for all dropdowns.
     this.getField('NOTES').value = Notes
For each dropdown field, add the following to the 'OnBlur' event:
SetNotesField()

Multiple drop down menus in a row

I am trying to create a bid sheet for my interior design business.
For example in my first column(A) i would like to have a drop down menu with Demo, Plumbing, Electric, etc.... and if i would select Pluming in that drop down menu, next to it in column(B) I would like to display a drop down menu specific to plumbing like Toilet, Under-mount sink, Tub, etc.... then the next one after be a grade like entry level, mid, and high end with a hidden value that would be added at the end with my overhead % added.
Like i described above I am a designer with cad experience but not Numbers experience. However, I know how to make a drop down menu but don't know how to make the selection control the next column and/or columns.
If anyone knows an answer, a forum, a book I would love you for ever.
Thank You

Help with jsp and drop down menu

hi, im tryin to put a drop down menu using javascript, is the example in the page:
http://tutorials.alsacreations.com/deroulant/
but creator detects a error:
The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.
int creator and when i deply the proyect, here is the code:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Can anybody tell me what im doing wrong?

hi,
Creator does not recognize (or whatever you say) characters like '<'. You can import js file which includes your script or change these characters for example put "<" instead of "<".

Drop-down menus and submitting completed forms

Hi,
I have two questions:
1) On my form I have multiple drop-down menus. Is there a way to allow the user to return the field to its original blank state once an item is selected from the menu? I noticed that I could add a choice to the menu that is simply spaces and when that line is selected, the field returns to blank.
Is there a better way? To reset the form following a "mis-click" on one of those menus would be frustrating for the user.
2) We would like to set the form up so that when the user is finished, they can click on a button and the form is saved in PDF form and also with the XML data. In reading about LiveCycle, it seems to me that we need to send it to a URL or by e-mail, but we would like for the user to be able to save it to their own hard drive. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Michael H

This bug still occurs:
How to Reproduce:
1.Download:
http://jqueryui.com/resources/download/jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.zip (or any other version)
2.Find the default example for sortable:
jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom\ development-bundle\demos\sortable\default.html
3. Replace first li item to (just to add a html select)
<li class="ui-state-default"><select><option value="1">1</option><option value="2">2</option></select>Item 1</li>
4. The dropdown options will not appear(as if the dropdown is disabled).

Multiple drop down filter for xml

Hi,
I've had a look through previous posts, but I think I need
the very basics explained to me.
Here's an example of some XML that I want to use:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<company>
<department name="Research & Development">
<employee>
<name>John Doe</name>
<job>Software Analyst</job>
<salary>2000</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Jane Fletcher</name>
<job>Designer</job>
<salary>2500</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Chris Benton</name>
<job>Programmer</job>
<salary>3100</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Ben Walker</name>
<job>Programmer</job>
<salary>2800</salary>
</employee>
</department>
<department name="Marketing">
<employee>
<name>George Palmer</name>
<job>Copywriter</job>
<salary>2530</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Tony Norberto</name>
<job>Content Editor</job>
<salary>1900</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Adrian Segata</name>
<job>Marketing Manager</job>
<salary>5000</salary>
</employee>
</department>
</company>
I'd like to have two drop down menus (Job and Salary).
Default output table should display all of the names of the
employees. When a user selects a drop down menu, the output table
should filter so that only employees with that job are displayed.
It should also have a reset button (or blank on each drop down
menu) to reset the table to its default.
Currently thinking that the drop down menus should be
Spry:repeats as a menu.
As you can probably see, I'm very new to this, but if anybody
can suggest some code to do this it would be really helpful. I've
had a few attempts with Spry, but my programming is really limited.
So far I'm OK with displaying the drop down menus and the original
table, but can't implement the filters. I've just spent a while
trying to do it in XSLT to no avail :(.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any help on this.

So, I've got 3 drop down menus, and an output table.
How do I go about making the drop down menus filter the table
(e.g. choose a salary and the table only displays employees with
that salary)?
I'm guessing it's something along the lines of Spry:if
"employee/salary" = "salary", but I've no idea how to implement it.
Thanks again for any help with this.

New Drop-down Menus Not Picking Up Styling

I have a Muse site with pages and drop-down menus.
I have stylized top-level pages, and also the drop down menus for the secondary pages.
I was under the impression that once a drop-down menu was stylized, any new drop-down menus created by adding secondary pages to a different top-level page would inherit the same stylization as the first drop-down. But, that does not happen. Yes, I have Edit Together selected in the options panel.

Help with rollover drop down menus

I created a flash document with rollover drop down menus, but
the menus some times won't go back up unless you rollover their
associated buttons again. Also I created a link inside one of the
buttons on one of the menus, but when you click that button the
menu stays down until you rollover the button again. Some times 2
menus will be down at the same time. Can anyone help me fix these
problems? I'm a beginner and this is the first flash movie I've
ever made.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

How can I correct the problems I've been experiencing lately with drop-down menus in general as well as and leading of text. It 's occurring on both Safari and Firefox browsers.

The above headline pretty much covers the problems.
Access to the drop down menus is erratic. Sometimes it's problem-free, but at other times it's impossible to see the options on the menu, or if they are visible, it's impossible to effect a change by clicking on one of them. The times I notice it most is when I am trying to change fonts or font sizes, but it occurs at other times, as well.
It's also frustrating to have to deal with double spacing (for example, when describing items on eBay). Sometimes the text flows normally, but if I force a return, the text that follows usually is double-spaced.
Often, the justification option does not work either.
Occasionally, I can get around one problem or another by switching back and forth between Safari and Firefox, but eventually, the original problem resurfaces.
Because it happens on both browsers, eBay tech support is inclined to think the problem is in my software. (I'm inclined to agree.)
Although they have suggested clearing the history in FF, that option must have been relocated, because it'sno longer under the "Tools" menu, where it was in the past. I also can't find the clear your cache option on OS Safari or 10.8.3.

I don't think it'd help much but clearing history is now in the History menu, and setting FF to clear history on exit is near the bottom of the Privacy tab of FF Preferences.
Also, if you don't have the Develop menu in Safari, open Safari preferences, click Advanced, and select “Show Develop menu in menu bar.” You'll find "Empty Caches" there.

I am having some serious issues with firefox, i can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and I can't use any of the drop down menus on any site

I am having some serious issues with firefox to the point of choosing another search engine. I can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and won't let me change it to my printer when i do try to select my printer it jumps right back to fax. The drop down menus do not work on any of the sites I go to. For example when purchasing clothes and you have to choose a size from a drop down menu I can't do it when I click on the drop down menu it doesn't work at all. I don't have a virus I ran my virus protector and no viruses are present. I don't have any suspicious issues going on with my computer so there has to be something in Firefox that is causing my issues. I tried internet explorer and I don't have any issues there. I hope you can help me because I love Firefox and would really like to continue to use it.

Lots of issues there, main one getting fcpx going again, try deleting the preferences using the utility deveoped by these guys.
