Menu bar - Animated Menu Bars

I am rather inexperienced with Flash, i know how to make a
movie, do motion guides and shape tweens, and how to make something
a hyperlink. BUT i am trying to figure out now to make a menu bar
that looks like the one on this website "
http://www.broadcastmediagroup.com/
" and am having some trouble.
i have read the discussion on/by Topic Title: How do I do
this? .Topic Summary: Flash neophyte needs help. Created On
05/10/2008 08:28:22 PM
but the code suggestions and what not, that are a part of the
discussion, are just beyond me. Is there a decent place to get
examples (.fla files that i could then play around with)?
I have the Flash MX 2004 "bible" by Reinhardt Dowd (even
though i am using Flash 9... ) but haven't been able to find
anything specifically helpful, and in trying to follow the book's
directions for making a menu bar, well it didn't go so well...
any suggestions, hints, helpful comments?
tnx.

To play animation in a button - you place a movie clip in it.
Each frame of
the button can have a different clip if you like.
However, while you can do it with a timeline, those buttons
would be pretty
simple using one of the tweening classes. I'd recommend
having a look at
Tweener - which is hosted on Google code.

  • After downloading firefox to a new computer and using sync I no longer have any navigation bar or menu button.

    This is on a windows computer at work. It actually happened on 2 new computers. Before the sync, both the navigation bar and menu button were there. After the sync - Gone! I have tried uninstalling firefox and then reinstalling, but when I reinstall, the problem is already there, and the bookmarks from the sync reappear automatically on the reinstalled version. Is there any way to uninstall the sync?

    Currently UI customizations do not sync. However you can add this about:config.
    services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.uiCustomization.state = true

  • How do I change the display order in the VPN menu in the status bar?

    Hello,
    How do I change the display order in the VPN menu in the status bar?
    (in the drop-down menu from this icon) ->
    Thanks.

    Hello. Perhaps this is because you are trying to arrange the order of many VPN services, since only one VPN service can be selected at once in System Preferences. In my original post, I did not mean that; I meant that I wanted to arrange the order of VPN configurations within a VPN service. In this screenshot, I have one VPN service only:
    And in the following one, it is shown that there are more than one VPN configurations within that VPN service:
    Furthermore, it was the order of VPN configurations that I wanted to change, not the order of VPN services. If you are trying to change the order of VPN services, I do not have a solution.

  • Linux - Can't move menu or enable menu bar button (like Windows)

    I have used Firefox 4.0 betas on both Windows and Linux. I notice that unlike Windows, Linux doesn't seem to have the ability to hide the menu under the button which says 'Firefox'.
    I also cannot move the menu bar and place it on the navigation bar for example. I like to minimise on toolbars but because of the way this is designed, this does not seem possible on Linux. On 3.6.9 I use an add-on which consolidates all of the menu bar items onto one called menu, and then I add the navgation bar to this bar as well as buttons, and then I can remove one of the toolbars. With 4.0 beta however this is not possible if one wants to use tabs on top.
    Can anyone confirm if the single menu button functionality as available on Windows will be coming to Linux? Given how many betas have been released I'm concerned time is running out for this feature.
    I had previously found a support page which revealed that the Windows version has an extra toolbar which Linux does not have. I cannot find that link currently however.

    There has been some progress on this. To implement the Firefox button on Linux, 3 separate patches to the code need to be added. The first has just been added and the developer who is working on this hopes to get the remaining 2 patches available over the weekend. Still no guarantees that it will make it but it does look hopeful.
    There is a limited time frame for this to be implemented, beta 7 is planned to be the beta that is "feature complete", new features should not land after this. If the patches have not landed by beta 7 then Firefox 4 may ship without the Firefox button on Linux.

  • How can I combine the nav bar and menu bar on the same line to save space?

    Firefox v29 seems to be a huge step backward in customization. I need to save space for content so previously I turned off tabs and combined the menu bar and nav bar on the same line. The url space is way too long anyway. Now with v29 all my customization is gone and I cannot get it back. I can no longer move items on the nav bar to combine it with the menu bar. Why was this done? It only limits my ability to customize my browser? I am very frustrated that you took a great browser and ruined it.

    I get it that Firefox has changed, but the change is for the worse. It makes it impossible to customize menus as I had before v.29.

  • Firefox 4 Menu Bar - When I hover over or select a menu bar item, the menu bar sub-menu becomes transparent and unreadable. Is this a known issue that can be corrected with an update or is it functionality that is not designed to work with this version?

    Firefox 4 Menu Bar - When I hover over or select a menu bar item, the menu bar sub-menu becomes transparent and unreadable. Is this a known issue that can be corrected with an update or is it functionality that is not designed to work with this version?

    If this happens on monitor 2 of 2, this problem has been solved here:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/794823#answer-157988
    Go to "Firefox"--> "Options" --> "Advanced"
    Then un-check "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    While not verified, I believe this problem is due to an SLI configuration where the focus is on monitor 1. (I.e acceleration is available, but only on monitor 1.)

  • After the setting of Firefox 3.6 in myPC with the help of the browser IE8, i found that the File menu aswellas the Address bar were missing? What isthe actual problem in the installation of Firefox 3.6 with the help of the IE8 browser?

    I have install and reinstall Firefox 3.6 as well as the Firefoc 4.0 more than 3 times. A problem occurs during the installation created and done by the browser IE8. I'm not able to detect and eradicate the problem. Do you have any proper idea, Please send it to my email id. Thank you.

    There shouldn't be a problem. Try right clicking on toolbar space and make sure Menu Bar and Navigation Bar are checked.
    I don't have access to your email ID. In any case it helps others to see the answers.

  • I've lost my menu bar and command bar. How do I get them back?

    Now that they're gone, right clicking does not bring up an option to re-enable them.
    By "command bar" I mean the edit box where you enter a new website. Maybe it's called the address bar.

    For details of how to restore the menu bar see [[menu bar is missing]].

  • How do I put my menu bar and address bar back at the top?

    I closed my menu bar and address bar, etc. Now I can get them back I even tried reinstalling Firefox and that didn't work. Opposite clicking the top of the page doesn't work, either. HELP!
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == When I temporarily turned off my bars.

    Hit the '''Alt''' key to show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark.

  • Hide menu bar and title bar in a JFrame

    Hi!
    I'm using a JFrame for a kind of viewer application. I start it as normal, so the JFrame has a JMenuBar with menus and the title bar with the application name.
    So far, all right, but at some point I would like to press a JButton to make the viewer application full screen, that is, hiding the window title bar and the JMenuBar.
    Any idea?
    PD: I've tried the method myJMenuBar.setVisible(false) in order to hide the menu bar, but it seems it doesn't work because I'm using the Look&Feel Metal with border decorations.

    something like this seems to work OK.
    basically, create a JPanel that is the contentPane of the frame, then for full screen
    create a JWindow, add the panel to the window, show the window
    (alt-F4 to close)
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    class Testing
      public void buildGUI()
        JMenu menu = new JMenu("File");
        JMenuItem menuOpen = new JMenuItem("Open");
        JMenuItem menuSave = new JMenuItem("Save");
        JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
        menu.add(menuOpen);
        menu.add(menuSave);
        menuBar.add(menu);
        JButton btn = new JButton("Full Screen");
        final JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
        p.add(btn,new GridBagConstraints());
        final JFrame f = new JFrame();
        f.getContentPane().add(p);
        f.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
        f.setSize(200,100);
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.setVisible(true);
        btn.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
          public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
            JWindow w = new JWindow(f);
            w.add(p);

  • 5.1.3 Restoring bookmarks bar and menu ?

    I'm running Safari 5.1.3 on imac on 10.7.3
    I just synced my ipad to computer.
    On my bookmarks bar on the ipad I had only 2 bookmarks. On the computer I had a whole bunch. Same with bookmarks menu.
    After the sync, on my computer, it had deleted all the bookmarks on my bookmarks bar, and only left me the 2 that were on the ipad. Same with bookmarks menu.
    Seems to have affected bookmarks bar and menu only. Rest of bookmarks are OK.
    I have an external backup drive and backed up a week ago. But, have never had to restore anything.
    What's the procedure to restore the bookmarks bar and menu in Safari, using time machine?
    Thanks.

    The only way is to restore from a useful backup, if you have one.
    If you sync the iPad to iTunes and use Time Machine regularly, you would likely have the appropriate backup to restore from. In that case:
    Restore the iPad backup set from Time Machine from a date before you overwrote the bookmarks. The location of the backup is ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ (you can get to it by pressing Cmd+Shift+G in the Finder and entering this path).
    Connect the iPad, run iTunes and restore from the backup.
    If you use iCloud Backup, then you can restore from iCloud and choose which date's backup you'd like to restore from. You can check if you're using iCloud Backup by opening the Settings app on the iPad, then going to the iCloud submenu and looking at the status right below "Storage & Backup", where it would say "iCloud Backup is off." (or "iCloud Backup is on.", as the case may be).
    In any case, keep in mind that restoring from a backup means you lose all application data changes after the date of the backup.
    Also see Restoring from a previous iCloud backup.

  • Right part of menu bar and menu bar clock freezes.

    Right part of menu bar and menu bar clock freezes after a few minutes works. Happens every single session and seems to not be affected of what programs that are running.  There are other anomalities too, which seem to be somehow related, affecting my main software (Finale).  Keyboard Maestro and Time Machine are always running in the background.  Any ideas?

    Nope.
    BTW:  After restart, it all seems to work.  This seems to happen after the MBP has been taking a nap and in all following sessions.
    It's a 2 months old MBP, 8 gB RAM, all the newest updates on everything.

  • Repetition in Bookmarks Bar and Menu Sidebar, shifting in MenuBar,

    I am seeing deleted bookmarks return as well as it seems a neverending growth and repetetion of my bookmarks since 5.1.2 update and numerous repeats in the bookmarks bar and menu. See attached screenshot. Yes, I used MobileMe and have been using iCloud since so I suspect it is related.
    Thanks for any thoughts

    Actually, it just keeps growing. Even more repetition today. I have emptied cache, reset Safari, replaced the bookmark.plist file with an older Time Machine backup and within minures it starts repopulating and starts all over again growing in duplications. This has to be iCloud related in my opinion. If not, where is it coming from.
    It seems various threads with different descriptions of the same problem or a variant of bookmarks and menubar issue are being addressed in this Safari forum, and most just started seeing this it seems in the last several weeks but not before the 5.1.2 update.
    Does anyone else think so? This appears to need Apple Support attention at an advanced level, as all the suggestions, while great to have and try, they are not working. I'll bet this issue is very widespread, just not observed or reported yet.
