Rollover Pop Up Menu Issue
I have 16 buttons with pop up sub menus that appear when
rolled over. I am using 16 different 2 frame movie clips with the
collapsed version in frame 1 and the expanded version in frame 2.
When the user either rolls off the submenu or enters the area
between the buttons there is a script telling all the movie clips
to go to frame 1. My issue is that the expanded images stick on the
screen if the user quickly goes from one button to the other. If
the user rollovers over one of the stuck images it goes away. Is
there a way for Flash to redraw the stage to avoid this or keep
checking if the stage needs to be updated?
1. Include an "on mouse out" event to handle the event of
exiting the menu area
2. and/or create an invisible button that surrounds the
outside of the menu area to triger the menu to close.

I am using CS3 Fireworks and CS3 Dreamweaver to edit a pop-up
menu originally made in Fireworks. I have not altered the pop-up
menu code whatsoever, and when I preview the index file that the
pop-up menu is in from Dreamweaver, the menu appears to run just
fine. There are no numbers within any of the file names or menu
items. For some reason, once the index file is loaded onto my
server, certain menu items do not show up and the ones that do are
out of order. There are multiple pop up menu's within the index
file, but those two are single tiered and work fine. The pop-up
menu in question has 2 sub-groups. Could this be the
problem?pixlor:
OP is using CS3 and the menu blog is talking about the menus
in earlier
versions of FW, so *most* of the points made in the blog
don't apply.
That's not to say that using CS3 pop-up menus is a *good*
thing....

Fireworks Pop Up Menu Issue in Dreamweaver
Hi I have built a pop up/dropdown menu in Fireworks. This menu bar is for a site that I built using dreamweaver. I exported the menu bar in fireworks and then inserted it into dreamweaver but when I do this the button images are missing. Instead of images (of the menu bar categories), there are gray boxes in the shape of the picture (category/button image).
I had this issue before and was able to correct it. I am not sure what I did though. Nothing seems to be working, since I am unaware of how I actually fixed it, I can't figure out how to fix it again.
When I preview the file in fireworks, it looks fine and everything seems to work. When I insert the html file into dreamweaver, I have this issue with the menu bar images. The weird thing is that it is only the button images. I do have this site published and I have uploaded all of the files but the pictures still do not show. The link to this site is www.pariswyattllansoart.com. (the site is still under construction obviously).
The menu bar works fine otherwise. The only issue is that the up and over images for the buttons of the menu bar do not show in dreamweaver or on the published site. Even the images that make up the rest of the menu bar show. If you check the site out, you will see what I mean.
Thanks for your help in advance!

</div>Thanks you!!! Your advice was so helpful. First of all thank you for pointing out how I should be saving my files. Because of your advice, I thought I would watch the tutorial again and pay attention to exactly how he was saving his document. I was saving the doc like this: Menu Bar, now I know that I need to save this file like this: menuBar_file and it works wonderfully. The files have to be saved in a folder in the local directory. Also because of how I was saving things, I realized that I had a few other problems with DW. I fixed those issues and DW works wonderfully.
Also here is something else that I learned from this. Once I got the images working, the dropdown/popup menus where no longer working. The issue was that I was trying to insert the FW dropdown menu into a document that had already been saved as a template. If you do this, there is not enough room for all of the code, so the remedy is to insert the menu bar into an html doc. and then save it as a template.
Thanks so much again. I have learned so much. -
Strange Navigation Issues After Using Pop-up Menu
I have a Blu-ray project I'm working on. It's 1920x1080 resolution.
I have a main menu and then seven sub-menus as chapter-selection menus for three different videos.
The Main Menu has four buttons. Button one is a highlights video, button two takes the user to the first of three chapter-selection menus for the first video. Button three takes the user to the first of two chapter-selection menus for the second video and button four takes the user to the first of two chapter-selection menus for the third video. I have transitions from the main menu to each of the three chapter-selection menus and back from any of the seven chapter-selection menus to the main menu.
I also have a pop-up menu with the same four buttons on it as the main menu, except that the top button takes you to the main menu rather than playing the highlights video.
The problem I have is that all of the navagition works fine when moving around the menus, unless you open the pop-up menu during a video and navigate to one of the chapter-selection menus. When you do this, it works. It goes to the first page of the chapter-selection menu for any of the three videos, but if you then go to the main menu from there (each chapter-selection menu has a "back to main menu" button on it), it will play the transition, but then jump you to one of the chapter-selection menus for the video who's chapter-selection menu you were just on.
For example: If I play the highlights video and while it's playing I open the pop-up menu and choose Video 3, it will take me to the first chapter-selection menu for Video 3. If, once that menu comes up, I then scroll down to the "Back to Main Menu" button on that page and choose it, the transition from that menu to the Main Menu will play, but after it finishes, the Blu-ray will jump to the last chapter-selection menu page for Video 3. If I then navigate back to menu page 1 of the chapter-selection menus for Video 3 and choose the exact same "Back to Main Menu" button, the transition will play again and this time the Main Menu will open up.
The links for all of the menu buttons are correct, I've check them numerous times. It just seems that they get screwed up after you've navigated somewhere from the pop-up menu.
Sorry this is so long, but I wanted to try to explain it as best as possible.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.Hey Shark. I read your explanation of what's happening, but I am not sure why you are having that weird navigation issue. There are a lot of weird anomalies that happen with Encore authored blu-rays, and things that just don't work that really should. For the price, it does the job, but there are limitations.
Last year when I started using it for blu-ray authoring, there were non-stop road blocks and things to overcome.
Check out the documented misery. It gets better at the end .

Pop-up menu feature and IE issues
I am using Firework MX 2004, Version 7.0 Build 288, to create drop down menus using the “Pop-up Menu” feature. The pop-up menus that I create work great in Netscape and Firefox, but fair in IE 6.0. The pop-up menus appear under certain elements such as select boxes in IE 6.0. I have read and tried some of the solutions on Blogs in regard to setting the z-index in div tags, but to no avail. Any help or work around would be greatly appreciated! Unfortunately, the huge company I work at switched from Netscape to IE 6.0 as the corporate platform, and I don’t have the patients to upgrade Fireworks if that is the solution. The last time I upgraded from Fireworks 4 toFirework MX 2004 the Macromedia Tech Support area had to e-mail me special registry entries for the product registration to work, and it took a very long time. I still have the emails to remind me of the pain. Thanks William!
I found this: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/158/tn_15842.html
And this:
Fireworks generated html and javascript calls its layers with a z-index beggining with a value of 1. Try doing a search of text external JS file and you will see your menus.
I would rename the offending layer that runs over the top of the menu layers in the with z-index:0
Also this: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/fw8_popups.html
Hope something here works, that being said...the menus from that version arenb't very good. a better solution is CSS menus. A quick solution is from Project Seven here:http://projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm2/index.htm for $95. It's a DW extension and simple to use. Alkso compatiple with most browsers. -
Here's a Pop-up Menu Challenge/Issue
Peace.
I have read dozens of posts on using dreamweaver and fireworks to export various symbols, objects, and pop-ups. Getting the pop-up menu to work in DW is to have javascrit code in the header and body portion of the page. Also, the difference between browsers FF and IE, popup menus not working properly .
I have managed to work through most of these problems, including the popup alignment of X,Y parameters, to get them to show up properly (what a nightmare for an intermediate)! If I only knew how to use CSS?
Anyway, I finally got my pop-ups to work the way I want, but ONLY in IE, not in FF.
The "challenge" is that two of my pop-up menus work on FF and the others don't? See images at http://www.christianacademyonline.org/testnew/index.html
I have done my best to scrutinize the script (java/mm_loads,images, etc) and I can't find the problem. The two images that work have two diffent codes, probably (on_click), because I was doing what I could to make it work..
I need more eyes to help find my script problem...I'm almost complete, but missing something!
Thanks Guys!
Deke D.I don't get any pop-ups anywhere nor any menus (if there are supposed to be some). The code is rather messy, also, with all those on-the-fly definitions for styles and endlessly long JavaScript actions. Quite possible that the links override one another. Not to ruin your day, but I'd definitely start from scratch with an empty page and a clean style sheet for the various elements. IMO that's the only way to get this working properly.

helpppp!!!!
ok here's whats going on... i'm making a rollover drop down
menu for a site im creating for myself...
in fireworks, when i preview it... it works fine
when i try to preview the page or template in dreamweaver, it
doesn't work.
i'm fairly new with a lot of this stuff. i tried going to
insert rollover image and tried swapping between the .jpg file for
the menu and the .htm file for the menu. basically with the jpg
file, the rollover image works but no menu. when i use the .htm
file, a small box appears within the image button... which one am i
supposed to be using?
as for the mm_menu file which was created, am i supposed to
do anything with it or is it automatic?
thanksWhat's the URL to your problem page?
Without seeing your code & how you've implemented your custom fonts, it's impossible to help you.

Pop up menu with rollover images?
I have created a standard pop up menu in behaviors... is it
possible to have images appear as the pointer is rolled over the
individual pop up menu items? or should I be using fireworks to
create an advanced pop up menu?

NEVER! use fireworks to generate code. You'r just asking for

Best way to create pop-up menu's
Hi All,
I have been having a heck of a time doing something that i
would have assumed to be relatively simple - specifically creating
a pup-up menu.
My first set of approach was to dynamically create a movie
clip on a button rollover, and within that movieclip create several
other movie clips that i then assigned actions too. The problem was
that since i applied a action on "rollout" on the initial movie
clip, it became a button, and as such all of the sub
movieclips/buttons became in active (any click was only detected on
the parent).
My second set of attempts have been around the MenuComponent
(see other posts), but here too i have hit problems, initially with
animation and depth. I solved the animation issue, but the depth
problem remains.
Now, i see pop-up menu's everywhere, so i assume that this is
a relatively simple problem - so what am i missing. A google search
showed up lots of examples of how to do using menu that are created
in the UI (rather than purely in AS), using purchased components.
The first case is not an option since i need to create it fully
dynamically, the second would be an option - however i typically
need a far greater level of visual control than off the shelf
components provide (hence i have needed to build up my own class
library for many common tasks).
So after all that, i have a simple question.
"What is the best way to create a dynamic popup menu in
AS2?"
Regards
NeilI guess you want to make your own popup menu, if I understand
correctly. Nothing simpler, your first attempt was in the right
direction, you just don't assign button actions to the parent clip,
because you won't get the child clips to work, but add another
child at the lowest level inside the parent, that acts as a
"background" clip/button.
And for the rollout for the entire popup, you can add a
transparent clip just under the popup (which is at the currently
topmost depth) covering the entire stage, give it rollover that
acts as your rollout, and make it not use the hand currsor, so you
can't tell it's there.
That's how I do it, anyways.. -
I had a power failure and then began getting a message that the printer (Canon Pixma 610) was not detected. So, I unplugged it from the computer, restarted the computer and no change. The printer was still showing as the default printer, but not being detected. So I deleted the printer and then tried to reinstall it. However, when I clicked on the + sign to reinstall nothing came up. The screen was blank with no printer choices. I went to the Canon website to try and download the driver and received this message: There is no driver for the OS Version you selected. The driver may be included in your OS or you may not need a driver. I would appreciate any help...

I finally contacted Canon and they informed me that my printer is not compatible with Maverick
As Greg stated, the Canon support person is simply referring to what they see on the web and knosw nothing about Mac's. The reality is that the v10.8 driver will work on 10.9. You just may need to get past Gatekeeper to install it. So here is a link to the v10.8 driver. If you get a message stating that the driver is not signed and cannot be installed, then this is Gatekeeper blocking it. So to install it, right click (or Control-click) on the installer and select Open from the pop-up menu. Now you will have the option to install.
The second issue is the printer not appearing in the Add printer window. The USB cable is often the cause as suggested already. Also USB hubs can be a cause. To check if the Mac can see the printer, open System Information and select USB in the left column. The top right pane will show all the USB busses in your Mac. The MP610 should be listed under one of these busses. If it is not present, then try another USB cable and/or another USB port on the Mac. Until you see the MP610 in this view, you will not be able to add the printer. -
The last time I tried to do rollovers with a pop up menu in
Dreamweaver 8. It wouldn't work. So I'm searching for another way
to do it.
I created navigation using Fireworks - follow link below to
example. But when I mouse over the rollover that has a pop up menu
attached to it (First link on the left) the rollover images
disappear. Also the drop down menu tends to hang down longer than I
would like.
Can my problems be fixed? Is Fireworks the right tool for
this task?
I had down loaded a trial of the latest version of
Dreamweaver a few months ago and it seemed that this feature had
been deprecated, but there was some sort of plug-in. I'm far from a
casual user, but it was beyond me for the weekend I tried to use
it. Also, this is a bad time for me to invest in new software or
upgrades.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Example of rollover and
pop up menu problemDon't use Fireworks to make HTML,
especially interactive HTML. Fireworks is a great tool for
making Web graphics, but it is
NOT
good for making HTML. Don't go there. You won't be happy.

The
Sordid Tale of mm_menu and fw_menu.js and then save yourself
loads of frustration and go buy yourself a professional menu.
What's your billing rate? At $20/hr a $100 professional menu that
works, cross-browser, beautifully, is going to save you more
than 5 hours of hassle trying to get this stuff in Fireworks to
halfway...kinda...function...almost.
I don't use these kind of menus, but I've seen this question
asked often enough to know that one recommendation is the code from

I'm having a problem with my site menu. The site works off a
template and all links are created in the template. I have a
central menu bar with rollover buttons, each with their own
drop-down menu (using the Show Pop-Up Menu behavior). When tested
in the browser, the menu drops down on mouse-over as it's supposed
to, but when the links in the drop-down menu are clicked on, an
error page comes up. The directory path specified in the Pop-Up
Menu behavior is correct, but changes inexplicably when tested in
the browser. All other links in the site (not in drop-down menu
format) function as they're supposed to. I have no clue how to fix
this problem. I think there may be a script error in the mm_menu.js
file which is automatically created by Dreamweaver, but am not sure
how to go about correcting this. Any ideas?> When creating pop-up menus everything works fine

I am learning to create a website using dreamweaver, fireworks and photoshop. I created a sample website using these tools. Initially I created a layout in photoshop followed by web slices in fireworks. Later I exported my work in dreamweaver to complete the website. I saved my layout as a template so that any changes get updated automatically in all pages. To add a rollover image menu, pop-up/drop-down menu in template, I switched back to fireworks within dreamweaver. I created rollover image menu successfully and even drop-down too. It worked fine in fireworks preview window. I finished my editing in fireworks and switched back to dreamweaver and updated the changes in template. when I previewed that template, the rollover and pop-up menu worked fine on all menu item(on mouse over). when i clicked a menu item/page /link, it follows to the page correctly and rollover worked still fine and smooth but pop-up menu failed as if i never created one. I tried reloading the page but it failed.
Again I loaded a preview from template and it worked. when I click any menu, it failed. But the rollover works well. I tried to repeat my steps from beginning and the result is the same.
I tried for preview from individual pages, no pop-up emerged. Later I observed that pop-up javascript is located in all pages but never works on execution. It works only in the template from which I created all other pages but it still fails on clicking other links in same template preview. Please help me. This stopped me from moving to next lessons.Please elaborate

i have created a pop up menu in fw then brought it into my
page using "fw insert html" into dw. saved the page as template. i
then modified it w/ behaviours to have internal page links. i have
already resolved the issue of the menu text showing thru the menu
colors by adding a wider border and making it dark so they wont be
seen. now the links from the pop up menu dont find the pages. i
have partially resolved the issue on the first page view but once
the page is found the menu doesnt work at all on the second page
using the pop up menu that are duplicated into all the pages from
the template.
any ideas?? help!!Well, I found a coworker with CS4 and the popup menu editor appears to work. Further confirming that this may be a bug.
