links not working....no idea why.....

[pelsar]

the two files on line
Link1

Link2

____________________-


the xml file is linked...i changed the xml file name within the As file.

however there is a line in the help file that i have no idea what I'm supposed to do with it


The Help file mentions this:

First define the onItemClick function and then pass the data

i have no idea what that means…i did modify the link to the xml file…..outside of that i touched nothing within the coding of the flash.

the first frame:

menu_mc.onItemClick = function(node:XMLNode, level:Number) {
res_txt.text = "Label> "+node.attributes.label+" | Menu item level> "+level;
};
// LOAD XML AND GENERATE MENU
var xob:XML = new XML();
xob.ignoreWhite = true;
xob.onLoad = function(s) {
if (!s) {
trace("Error loading xml file !");
return;
}
menu_mc.data = this.firstChild;
};
xob.load("accordion_menu.xml");

Hi mate, I can help you on this one.

Instead of this
menu_mc.onItemClick = function(node:XMLNode, level:Number) {
res_txt.text = "Label> "+node.attributes.label+" | Menu item level> "+level;
};

please write this:

menu_mc.onItemClick = function(node:XMLNode, level:Number) {
getURL(node.attributes.url, node.attributes.target);
};

save and compile

Cheers !

i did the change...and now get this:

so now the top level buttons are links....even when i dont want them to be "links".

you notice that on mouse over on the menus on the left (only the home is a link), they are all now links and a click automatically goes to a blank page while it opens up the sub menu....(the links on the submenus now work which is great.

so how do I eliminate the top level links to those buttons that are just suppose to open up the accordian?

the xml has nothing for those upper links:

<menu>
<item label="Home" url="index.html" target="_self" />
<item label="LOW DESIRE" >
<subitem label="Low Desire" url="internal.html" target="_self" />
<subitem label="FAQ" url="internal.html" target="_self" />
</item>

<item label="PAINFUL" >
<subitem label="Painful Sex" url="internal.html" target="_self" />
<subitem label="Dyspareunia" url="internal.html" target="_self" />
<subitem label="Vaginismus" url="internal.html" target="_self" />
<subitem label="Vulvodynia" url="internal.html" target="_self" />
<subitem label="FAQ" url="internal.html" target="_self" />
</item>

<item label="ORGASM" >
<subitem label="Orgasim" url="internal.html" target="_self" />
<subitem label="New" url="internal.html" target="_self" />
<subitem label="Tips to Try" url="internal.html" target="_self" />
<subitem label="FAQ" url="internal.html" target="_self" />
</item>

<item label="AROUSAL DISORDERS" >
<subitem label="Arousal Disorders" url="internal.html" target="_self" />
<subitem label="Persistant Arousal" url="internal.html" target="_self" />
<subitem label="FAQ" url="internal.html" target="_self" />
</item>

<item label="HORMONE THERAPY" >
<subitem label="Female Hormones" url="internal.html" target="_self" />
<subitem label="FAQ Hormones" url="internal.html" target="_self" />
</item>

<item label="SEX THERAPY" url="index.html" target="_self" />

</menu>

i appreciate the help...(btw i must have bought 10 of your flash programs so far....)

menu_mc.onItemClick = function(node:XMLNode, level:Number) {
if(level == 2)
      getURL(node.attributes.url, node.attributes.target);
};

[pelsar]

the submenu links are now working

the top levels are not...if i understand correctly its an either or situation.

Either the top levels work and not the sub......or the subs work and not the top......the present situation is the better solution.

thanks

-next i try to tackle keeping the sub menus open when on that specific page-i noticed a thread already exists about that subject.
