MenuBar (AS2) component without dropdown menus?

I have used the menubar component several times to make
dropdown menus from
the main bar .. but I need to make a menubar on a Flash
header that won't
have any dropdowns .. just the seven links across the bar.
I can't find a way to make this work .. and I can't find any
information on
using the MenuBar component without having dropdowns that are
the links.
Is this even possible?
Thanks,
Nancy

Thanks. If you do post elsewhere, please copy and paste the
link here, so that others (myself included) can keep an eye on it.
BTW, I was pretty time-crunched last week or so when I
originally posted this, so I used Flash as a fallback. At least
there I know how to position with pixel-perfect accuracy, and
nothing psychotic happens with the behavior. Well, almost nothing.
Flash will always have its own charming "quirks" and "undocumented
features", but at least I can contend with those, for now...
It's a bummer, too, because I was really excited to get this
project done entirely with CSS.

Muse dropdown menus won't "hide" in design phase

Suddenly (since downloading v3.0), when I'm in design mode, ALL of my dropdown menus are showing. Before, they'd do that every time I made a change to the menu, but I could go onto my master page and click a menu item that DIDN'T have a dropdown and they'd go away so that I could design without having them "in my face." But now, they're just there and I can't seem to get rid of them. Anyone else having this problem? Is there something I can do to hide the dropdowns while I'm designing?

Yes. That and more.
I want the top menus to be horizontal, when I scroll over them, I want the sub menu to scroll down horizontally if there are more than one sub menu, it won’t do that.
All sub menus should drop down under the top menus so you can see three of them if there are there, four or five.
Currently if I have a top menu of five items each one has say three submenus under each top menu, when I scroll over the top menu the sub menu roll out horizontally and the other two don’t show up until I actually scroll over the one submenu then the other submenu pops out one at a time.
On top of all this the original post says menus won’t hide in design phase, making it all that much more frustrating.
For goodness sake “it it ain’t broke don’t fix it!” Don’t assume that if something is obvious to one person is obvious to everyone else.

Office 365: dropdown menus don't stay open + theme problem

Hello
I recently encountered some problems that make the Office 365 unusable. Could you help me figure it out?
Problems:
These problems appear in every office program: word, excel, power point...
Windows are in some very old 98 looking theme
Office programs appear to be in a window within a window (Image 2)
Dropdown menus in ribbon and in settings stay open less than a second - makes them unusable
Situation:
Office worked well for 2 months, then problems started
Graphic drivers are up to date
Windows is up to date
All the other programs work normally
No recent hardware changes
Comodo Internet Security installed recently
Automatic updates enabled for pretty much everything
When reinstalling, even the installation windows goes to 98 theme
My actions:
Selected default theme from control panel, no effect
Restarted, no effect
Reinstalled Office (Image 1), no effect
Disabled Comodo Internet Security, no effect
Tried running in safe mode, no effect
My setup:
Acer R7-572
Windows 8.1 Pro N
Office 365
I would post some screenshots, but seems that it is not allowed for me.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Seems you've already tried lots of steps, including a complete reinstallation of Office, but to no avail. As per your description above, I'm thinking it might be something on Windows side that is interfering with Office product.
Have you ever tried to disable the hardware graphics acceleration in Office? Sometimes a recent updated video driver might be incompatible with Office. Please have a try and see if it helps:
Open any Office 2013 component, for example Word 2013, then go to FILE>Options>Advanced
Tick the option of "Disable hardware graphics acceleration" under the section
Display
If issue persists after the steps above, I would suggest we try to perform a clean boot in Windows and then verify result. This will help to determine whether any program conflict is causing the issue:

Hope this helps.

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

Xp home and IE already installed. Added firefox and javascript dropdown menus not working at all. Help please

I installed firefox on my laptop, vista and IE installed, and as yet have no problems. I decided to install firefox on my desktop with XP home and IE installed and it has created a problem. Before installing firefox I had javascript dropdown menus on my web site which I build and upload to my isp. Now I cannot get the dropdown menus to run at all on my desktop. I tried uninstalling firefox but it still doesn't work. Help would be appreciated even to get back to how it was before installing firefox.

Yes, there is a work around by doing a forced restore to a "new iPhone", and manually synching the apps, one by one. You still can't update or delete any of them without going through this again. The only real fix will be from Apple - hopefully in 2.1 which is rumored to be released later today...
If you read though these threads, you'll find some really excellent posts that will remind you of a 5 year old when he finds out that his new Batman suit doesn't make him fly.

Handling 2 DropDown Menus in same class...??

Hi,
As you can imagine I am new to this....and I'm having trouble creating 2 DropDown Menus in the same class...
The problem is the "public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e) "...the compiler doesn't let me have 2 of them...I can understand why since it needs to make the difference between the 2 DropDown Menus...but how do I do it? I've tryed "public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent f) " but java doesn't like it either...
Here is my code (note that without the second DropDown "ChoicePeople" it works just fine):
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Booking extends Applet implements ItemListener
String[][] c = { {"French Language","250","130","70"}, {"Painting","270","140","70"},
{"Yoga","250","130","70"} };
Courses courses_list = new Courses(c);
Choice ChoiceCourse;
public void init()
add(new Label("Courses available for booking : "));
ChoiceCourse = new Choice();
add(ChoiceCourse);
int i=0;
while (i<c.length)
    ChoiceCourse.addItem(courses_list.getTitle(i));
    i++;
ChoiceCourse.addItemListener(this);
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e)
String c1 = (String) e.getItem();
add(new Label("Number of participants for the course selected : "));
ChoicePeople = new Choice();
add(ChoicePeople);
int j=0;
while (j<11)
    ChoicePeople.addItem(j);
    i++;
ChoicePeople.addItemListener(this);
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e)
int p1 = (int) e.getItem();
}

I can't view my Applet via the AppletViewer anymore....
My classes compile just fine but when I try to view the applet I get stuck on "Applet Loaded" and even if I try to start it nothing happens...
It worked fine until I added the second DropDown Menu (ChoicePeople) and the if statements in the itemStateChanged as you'll see in my code below...I guess I've done something wrong there...but What?
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Booking extends Applet implements ItemListener
String[][] c = { {"French Language","250","130","70"}, {"Painting","270","140","70"}, {"Yoga","250","130","70"} };
Courses courses_list = new Courses(c);
Choice ChoiceCourse;
Choice ChoicePeople;
public void init()
add(new Label("Courses available for booking : "));
ChoiceCourse = new Choice();
add(ChoiceCourse);
//the following populates the ChoiceCourse dropDown Menu with the Courses'Titles
int i=0;
while (i<c.length)
    ChoiceCourse.addItem(courses_list.getTitle(i));
    i++;
ChoiceCourse.addItemListener(this);
add(new Label("Number of participants for the course selected : "));
ChoicePeople = new Choice();
add(ChoicePeople);
//the following populates the ChoicePeople dropDown Menu with "numbers" from 1 to 10
int j=1;
while (j<11)
    ChoicePeople.addItem("j");
    i++;
ChoicePeople.addItemListener(this);
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e)
if (e.getSource() == ChoiceCourse)
    String c1 = (String) e.getItem(); // When ChoiceCourse is modified
if (e.getSource() == ChoicePeople)
    String p2 = (String) e.getItem(); // When ChoicePeople is modified
    int p1=Integer.parseInt(p2);       // converts the String into an integer
}

How can I create secondary and tertiary dropdown menus whose choices are dependant on the parent?

Kind of a weird question; I know. I'm new to both the Adobe Developer forums, and to XMP in general.
Here's the basic gist of what I'm trying to do:
We've got a Group, Category, and Subcategory structure for a given variable. Obviously, the subcategories are unique to a particular category, just as the categories are unique to a particular group; so displayed as a tree:
I.     Group_1
          1. Category_1A
                    a. Subcategory_1Ax
                    b. Subcategory_1Ay
                    c. Subcategory_1Az
          2. Category_1B
                    a. Subcategory_1Bx
                    b. Subcategory_1By
                    c. Subcategory_1Bz
          3. Category_1C
                    a. Subcategory_1Cx
                    b. Subcategory_1Cy
                    c. Subcategory_1Cz
II.     Group_2
          1. Category_2A
                    a. Subcategory_2Ax
                    b. Subcategory_2Ay
                    c. Subcategory_2Az
          2. Category_2B
                    a. Subcategory_2Bx
                    b. Subcategory_2By
                    c. Subcategory_2Bz
          3. Category_2C
                    a. Subcategory_2Cx
                    b. Subcategory_2Cy
                    c. Subcategory_2Cz
The subcategories are unique to their categories; just as the categories are unique to their groups. In an effort to prevent garbage coming into the metadata, and because these groups, categories, and subcategories have already been defined, I'd like them displayed as dropdown menus; Once the user has selected a group for the file, the Category dropdown would appear (or become active) and display the Category choices available only to that group, and then do the same in terms of the Subcategory.
I'm guessing that I'll start with a closed choice, assign the values to the groups, and then write a function to display only the choices for that group in the category dropdown. Trouble is, I don't have a whole lot of JavaScript experience -- and the word I've seen tossed around in this area seems to be an Array -- so I'm wondering if I'm barking up the wrong tree. If anyone has some kind of direction to point me in, it'd be helpful.
I'm not looking for someone to do my work for me (that's missing the point) -- this is an exercise in learning XML, Some scripting, Flash Builder, and Javascript, and I'd really like to develop it entirely myself; because I am having fun!!
Many thanks,

Do you mean the stuff from here:
http://projects.nateweiss.com/nwdc/workcode.htm
If so, to be honest, don't ("use it", I mean).
It might have been a reasonable approach to this sort of thing ten years ago, but it's not a very good way of doing this sort of thing these days.
This sort of thing is pretty easy to knock together with some HTML, JQuery to do some JS stuff and a CFC behind the scenes.
Indeed just using some binds to <cfselect> tags would be a better approach.

After use and not even long use dropdown menus are blank, Firefox won't close.

For a couple of weeks after a short time of use dropdown menus are blank almost as if they have been lifted off the screen but I can see an imprint of where they should be.. Sometimes running the cursor over them seems to make them appear but not often.
When this happens I cannot close Firefox.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a couple of weeks ago

How can I get my dropdown menus to work on Safari?

I am in a real bind here. The blog I use for my class I teach has dropdown menus, but these don't seem to work in Safari on iPad. They work just fine in Chrome, but our lovely school blocks the Chrome browser...Don't even get me started.
Is there something I could add to the code to get these menus to work in Safari on iPad?
The blog URL is stmlatin2020.blogspot.com
Thanks

Try this ...
Tap Settings > Safari > Advanced then make sure JavaScript is switched ON.
That site is not optimized for iOS devices. Only browsers on desktop computers suport CSS (drop down menus).

Is it possible to import one spark component without importing the entire spark library?

I want to create an actionscript mobile application project because the total size will be smaller than a flex mobile application - the SDK is smaller because it doesnt contain unnecessary libraries e.g. the spark, mobilecomponents, framework etc. are not included. There are however 1 or 2 spark and mobile comonents that i would like to use and it seems a little silly to import the entire swc libraries for a couple components. So herewith my question... Is it possible to import a spark or mobile component without actually importing the entire swc library?

Hi Gordon,
Im using option 2: Merged into code. I have just recreated this on a colleague's laptop as well with the same result.
Could you perhaps see if you can follow these steps and see what happens on your side.
Create a new Flex Mobile Project > SDK 4.6.0 > Google Android Platform > Blank Application Template > Finish
Add <s:TextInput/> under declarations tag
Export Release Build > Intermediate AIRI package that must be manually signed later > Finish
Decompile the SWF from the .airi package (I'm using Sothink SWF Decompiler)
Expand Action > Spark > Components
My components folder contains many spark components im not interested in packaging - see screenshot attached above for the full list. All we added was a spark textInput and the swf contains Buttons, Scrollbars, TabbedViewNavigator etc. Thus the reason for this post.

Is it possible to create a component without a component controller?

Hi every one,
Is it possible to create a component without a component controller?If yes , how and what is the purpose of this?
Thanks in advance. Points will be rewarded.

Hi Prosun Bondopadhyay ,
Component controller is the base of a wda component. its can be considered as the base class. all the other views can be considered as the sub classes of component controller. so without the base class there is no existence for sub class rt?
like we can use all the methods and attributes of a component controller(main class) across all the view(sub class) and the viceversa is not possible.
hence we cannot create a wda without component controller.

4.x dropdown menus are FUBAR

Since the 4.x "upgrade" all dropdown menus and predictive popups go invisible a second after appearing. They are still there, just invisible. If you move you mouse pieces of it reappear but you have to make your choice real fast or just guess.
3.x was flawless. I was very happy with it and would like to go back to it. Is there any specific reversion path from 4.x back to 3.x? Or do I have to uninstall 4.x then install 3.x?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

Why is Safari Not allowing Dropdown menus?

On my account pages for my bank it is not allowing dropdown menus to come up. I have made sure that java script and plug-ins were enabled, but still they will not come up. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
It may be how the site is coded. Have you tried the site in another browser? Here's a list of browsers for the Mac platform.
Firefox 2.0.4
Camino,
Mozilla,
Opera,
Shiira,
OmniWeb (shareware).
I suggest trying Firefox. If it doesn't work there, try Opera.
