drop down menus

[Murray *TMM*]

It loads slowly because it is large relative to the target weight for a web
page. The only remedy is to not use that method. Here are two tutorials
about alternate methods that will require about 15% as much code -

> I've created drop down menu's with the 2nd tier of dropdowns that is a

newer feature in Fireworks MX, there is a problem with it, it loads so
slowly is there anybody know a fix for this. It only is slow in IE and
Netscape I believe but not mozilla. So it appears to be a browser problem.
All the javascript it has to load is rediculous thats the problem, I just
need a remidy for that.

Hi,

I am trying to create a drop down menu that will contain a list (test1,
test2, test3 etc) that will link to various pdf's. Can someone show me how
to make this work so that when a user highlights a certain link in the list
it opens the related pdf (I am using buddy the api command:

on MouseUp

set OK = baOpenFile( the pathName & "test1.pdf" , "maximised" )

end

on normal buttons

to open pdf's through normal buttons at present. Thanks.

[Mintyman]

i am - i just don't know how to implement it so that it works!

Can anyone please show me how to use drop down menus? I want to be able to
click on an item within a menu and a pdf opens. I don't have a clue how to
do this though!

[Richie Bisset]

Have you had a look through the notation in the drop-down list
behaviour?

It's a while since i used it but as far as i recall you had a choice
of either going to a marker with the same name as the selected item in
the drop list or you could access the selection as a text string,
which was the one i used.

assuming that your drop down list is called DropList then something
along the lines of the following should help you.

you'll have to dig about in the behaviour script for more specifics
i'm afraid, but the notation within the script is really good as i
recall.

hth,

regards,

richie


on MouseUp

set dropDownListOp = sendAllSprites (#DropList_Selection, [:])
set OK = baOpenFile( the pathName & dropDownListOp & ".pdf" ,
"maximised" )

end

There is not much built in menu support in with director. There is one
drop down menu behavior in the library palette, designed more as an
option selector with a settings form, it displays the last selection.

There are 3rd party xtras that make popup menus, some hierchical, they
don't always come in mac and pc versions.

There are also a couple of examples on director developer web pages, I
don't have them handy, yell some more if you want more specifics...

Can anyone help me make a dropdown menu in flash... I just can't get it to
work, I have tried to do it with buttons and rollovers but for some reason I
just can't get it to work... help me please

[LesHemphill]

:confused; Does DreamWeaver 8 for Mac have the capability of developing a drop
down menu. That is you click a spot and a sub-menu appears (I believe that is
called a drop down).
For years, I have used a shareware HTML editor called PageSpinner, but
apparently Page Spinner doesn't have the drop down capability. So I downloaded
a trial version of Dreamweaver 8. I have spent at least an hour searching the
Dreamweaver menus and have been unable to find any evidence of any drop down
capability. Could it be that DreamWeaver has another name for drop down?
Could it be that HTML cannot support drop down? Could it be that I would have
to switch perhaps to CSS (whatever that is)?
If DreamWeaver can develop a drop down, then HOW?????
I refuse to buy a pig in the poke, so that is why I downloaded a trial
version. For $399, I am not going to buy a pig in the poke.

Download the Trial of Fireworks8 too. It has the ability to make the menus
your asking about very easily.

An excellent menuing system for DW is ProjectSeven. I bought a bunch of their
stuff when I was a web dev rookie.

User friendly and you don't have to go into the code to make it work.

If you don't want to pay for the Project 7 one - and that is so good I bought it, then look at:

I recently made some drop down menus in layers and it's showing behind the
flash movie when I preview it. How can I make these menus show up above the
flash movie? Any suggestions or tips would help greatly. Thanks.

[Murray *TMM*]

All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so to speak,
including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers. There is not a good
cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but if you can be
confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can use the Flash
wmode parameter.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it.

How do I create rollover images with atttached drop down menus.
What I seem to find are just drop down menu scripts with out the ability to add roll over images.

Go easy on the web dev rookie here,.... I am using studio MX 2004 and I would
like to incorporate a drop down menu on my nav table. (By this I mean if a user
hovers over a link in the nav table, a drop down menu would be displayed to
make further choices) I have looked through my manuals as well as w3.org, but
have not been able to find anything. Can anyone help out? Thanks

Thank you so very much for the quick reply. I have already purchased and downloaded it, and will be using it very shortly.

[Murray *ACE*]

The links I gave were to free tutorials - what did you purchase?

I was very impressed with the project seven webpage. I went ahead and purchased
the software especially since it is compatiable with Dreamweaver. Is there an
issue with the software? Thanks again for the reply and the help. I'm a novice
and can use all the help I can get.
