Popup Menus and Flash

Hi All,
I have created a you-beaut pop-up menu in Fireworks 8 and
have it sitting on the webpage just nicely however, on the page is
a Flash slideshow as well. The Popup menus are hidden behind the
Flash content
Now I have read all the stuff about making wmode transparent,
but it makes no difference.
Has anyone else come across this problem and found a
solution?
Thanks all.

A little reserved? I'm rabidly opposed to it. A menu system
that can
generate > 3000 lines of css should be thrown in the
toilet. I don't pick
that number lightly - it was actually on a menu that was
posted here for
help not too long ago. Personally, I think you made a bum
decision - all my
experience is recoiling at this choice.,...

Popup menus and trigger record

I have a problem (in Forms 6i) executing code in popup menus: When right-clicking an item, the menu opens at the right position, but I am not able to find out which record was clicked - the input focus remains where it was, :system.mouse_record is empty and :system.trigger_record gives me the record number of the record with input focus, not the one where the user right-clicked at. Any suggestions?

No ideas so far?

Pop-up menus and Flash image

My development page has two things on it that are conflicting
with one another. I have a flash movie, and a pop-up menu. I would
like the menu to pop over top of the flash object, but quickly
learned that certain objects naturally float up to the top -
Thread
- But, the fix on this thread won't work for what I'm trying to do.
Is there any other way to get my menu pop over the movie? I
noticed the adobe main page has its menus overtop the flash movie,
so it must be possible, somehow. . . right?
Here's my
Test Page if it
helps to see what's going on. The pop-up in question is located at
"What We Do" -> "Programs"

The key is a special Flash parameter called WMODE, short for
Window Mode.
You'll need to add this parameter to your movie, set to
transparent. The
fastest way in Dreamweaver is to select your Flash movie and,
from the
Property inspector choose Parameters. In the dialog box that
opens, add
wmode in the Parameter column and transparent under Value.
That should do
the trick!

Drop down menus and flash

Here's the site:
http://www.oldshoecreative.com/CLS/
In IE, I cannot seem to get the drop down menus to appear in
front of the swf files that runs below them. I've tried the "wmode"
and "transparent" settings which work fine in Firefox, but I can't
get it right in IE. Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same problem and Í can't find the solution
for this.

Popup menus and form dropdowns

I've read about this before, but I can't seem to find the
solution.
Here is the page:
http://www.brettatkin.com/clients/tgc/index.asp
If you hover over the "Instruction" or "Course Equipment"
tab, the
drop-down form field below stays on top of the popup menu.
How do I fix this?
Thanks.

By either hiding the field with javascript or by moving it
offscreen when
the menu triggers. If you look carefully, you can see the
search field
disappear before the big honking layer appears.
You could do this with PVII's Swap Class extension to swap
the class on the
<select> tag to one that is display:none, or with DW's
built-in Change
Property behavior to do the same. Are you up for that?

Popup menus and templates

Having problems with my exported pop menus from FW and
including them in DW templates.
All my .dwt files are in a directory called /Templates
My pop up menu html and the associated .js file is located in
/Menu and the images are stored in /Menu/images
Originally my pop up menus were working only if all my HTML
template derived files were also located in the /Templates
directory. However I don't want that as I want to organize all my
HTML pages in subdirectories that are relevant/meaningful.
So doing some searching I followed this
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15832&sliceId=2
I tried to make root relative paths in the templates but the
pop up menu doesn't show up properly when previewing. The Example X
links from that tutorial are not working so I cannot verify if what
I am doing is correct.
Please help with any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

IStat Menus and Flash

Will iStat Menus work (be accurate) with the flash memory in my new MacBook Air? Thank you.

Yes. iStat pulls its data from all of the same places as the various Apple features do.

DVD Menus and Flash

wonder if someone can help me, im trying to make a DVD menu in flash, it this possible?
any links to tutorials would be greatly appreciated
thanks a lot

No, not directly. You will need to use a DVD authoring tool like Encore or DVD Studio to build the actual menu. You can use Flash to create the individual artwork or parts of the animation to be used in the authoring tool.

Encore CS3 Does it do popup menus and accept surround LPCM?

If it does not I might as well stay with DVDIT Pro HD.
Cheers
Mike

I would imagine that now that it has been announced, that the NDA does not apply, I mean, they list all the specs, we know what it can doif it has a certain feature, why would they not want there faithful customers to know, seeing as it has already been announced and there are articles covering the review of the products.

Pop up menus with Flash ?

Well. Here is a situation: I have created a Popup menu on
HTML, this is above a flash banner (Like the first page of
www.adobe.com) But, when I click on the button, no option is played
over the flash banner... I do not know why. it looks like cutted...
only those options which doesn't cover the flash banner appear.
So, as a first option I want to know what to do with HTML in
order to make it work (like adobe.com), as a second alternative, I
would like to know how to create popup menus with Flash. Thanx,
Appreciate any help,

I suggest either:
Take a class about flash at a community college OR
But a fully functional flash menu bar. They are customizeable
and usually can be insterted into HTML.
but in order to customize it you have to learn alot about
flash and the component window.
But if you are really good at flash disregard the course in
flash and buy one.
You can create your own in a movie clip and apply that to
most of your SWF.
Good luck

Fireworks 8 CSS Popup Menus

Hi,
in previous versions of Fireworks I was able to create
multiple popup menus and insert the menus into various table
positions across a web page.
In the latest version of Fireworks (8) I have tried to do the
same using the CSS popup up menus but when previewing the page one
or both of the menus fail to work properly. In some cases the popup
menus appear onmouseover in the wrong place or other times the
menus simply don't function at all.
If I create a single CSS popup menu and insert into a page
there is not a conflict and it is viewable in various browsers.
Is there an adjustment that I can make to the code or the way
that I export to Dreamweaver 8 so that multiple popup menus (in
different tables) can function on the same page?
Thanks,
Boris

Check the uberlink and McFly tutorials at PVII
http://www.projectseven.com/)
and the Navbar tutorial at Thierry's place (
http://www.tjkdesign.com)
Either of these are miles better than any DW/FW pop-up
menu....

Flash menus and html

Hi. I have a question that I hope won't be too complicated. I
have two Flash objects (A Top horizontal bar and a Flash menu)
inside a number of html web pages: <
http://www.mikelrouse.com/>
What I'd like is that the Flash objects not reload every time
you selct a new page. I think there are two ways to do this: 1.
Have the whole site as a Flash document (probably to difficult for
me right now) or
2. I've seen sites where a new html page is loaded but the
menus and/or Flash opjects seem to "stay in place", meaning they're
not reloading each time.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to do this in
Dreamweaver?
I would oh so grateful. Thanks in advance!

Go to the Flash forum for this.

Popup menus in Forms 10g and Java Bean

Hi all.
What class in Java corresponds with popup menus(not in menu module) ?
I know that oracle.ewt.lwAWT.lwMenu.LWPopupMenu is corresponds with MenuBar's submenu. I can find Buttons, Text Fields, Menu and other components in my Form-Applet, but I don't know how to find popup menus in forms through Java Bean...

Hello François,
I have created a java bean that dynamically creates a popup by left-clicking on the bean.
          Set_Custom_Property( 'BLOCK.BEAN', 1, 'ADD_ITEM', 'Item' ) ;
          Set_Custom_Property( 'BLOCK.BEAN', 1, 'ADD_SEPARATOR', '' ) ;
          Set_Custom_Property( 'BLOCK.BEAN', 1, 'ADD_ITEM', 'Item one' ) ;
          Set_Custom_Property( 'BLOCK.BEAN', 1, 'ADD_ITEM', 'Item two' ) ;
My problem is the layout. I want to simulate a button. I can't put the bean transparent over a button and I can't simulate a button with the bean.
How can I add the popup functionality to a button and not only to the bean? Or any other workaround?
Regards Pedro.

Labview edit time menu and right click popup menus

How can i add a menu item to the labview edit time menus and to the right click popup menu of any selected object in a block diagram?
I would like to integrate commonly used tools by me out of the springboard scripting tool into actual labview.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It sounds to me like you are looking for something like the Right-Click Framework. Some people really like it, I have not used it extensively myself. I've had a request to convert a quick drop shortcut into a RCF plug-in, I'll see how it goes. I have also longed for a good way to hook into the LV IDE to add my own tools, what I find are useful, but not fully satisfactory solutions.
1) Right-Click Framework: Some initial startup costs in terms of downloading and installing. Start up is a bit slow (on my machine), and the workflow is a bit different than what I am used to: Select an object, press the hotkey, right-click. You can get used to it, but it is not as responsive as a built-in right-click since you can't right-click in one action. It seems to be easily extensible, I'll know more in a day or two.
2) Quick Drop: Built into LV. Slow startup like RCF. Fairly easily extensible. Not context aware (unless you build it in to your plug-in), so you have to choose your letters wisely. After the initial pain, the response time is not shabby, does require the extra Ctrl-Space action.
3) Tools Menu: I drop a few things in here, like my custom connector pane editor. Not bad, but there are no keyboard shortcuts (what a pain), so it is good for actions that you might call once or twice on a given VI.
In short, all of these methods require extra clicks or keypresses and are a bit sluggish. If something like copy and paste behaved this way we would never use LV again, but if your tool truly saves you a bunch of steps it is well worth it. I have almost run out of letters to use for my QD shortcuts.
Addedendum: Personally I am not quite ready to start talking to my computer, but LVSpeak seems pretty cool, Smashy Smashy.

XML and PopUp Menus

Hi ... I'm new to Dreamweaver but I've managed to build an
html page with a PopUp menu and also convert the html page to an
xlst page but I cant get the popup menu to work ... its seems to
object to the 3rd line in the following code ...
</xsl:text>
</xsl:comment>
]]>
</xsl:text>
The error message when you attempt to preview the page is ...
SAXParseException: The sequence ']]>' is not allowed in
character data
(contacts_notemplate_1.xsl, line 81, column 4)
I cant find anything in the documentation saying this
shouldnt work ... can anyone help me ?
Cheers
Geoff
