How do I make the second level background stay on when clicked

[Lenroc]

Adrian,

I bought it, and love it... but I have one big need -- How do I make the second level background stay on when clicked...just the background. (not the letters highlight).So when clicked a second level choice, I want the background to stay on like it does on level 1.

I am using it to show a movie that has a few steps - Introduction, Features, Conclusion I also have the need to be able to call the second level background dynamically, I need to let the user know which part of the movie he is watching.

If I get this answered your work will be on a huge site in the US..and I will post it shortly after in your forum.

Please help I always like helping my Romanian friends with exposure...its the least I can do.

Multumesc mult - in avans,
Lenroc

Hi,
Open source\oxylus\TwoLevelsMenu\Level2Item.as and add the following code (written in bold):

	.....
	private var txtCol:Number;
	private static var crt:MovieClip;
	public function Level2Item() {
	....
	private function onRelease() {
		onClick.call(this, node, 2);
		crt.enabled = true;
		crt.onRollOut();
		crt = this;
		crt.enabled = false;
	}

Open source/main.fla and republish the swf to see the results.

All the best,
Adrian

How do I get the second level buttons to reset after closing the accordion by clicking on Top level buttons.

The second level button stays highlighted/disabled after the accordion has been closed and reopened.

Hey Oxylus,

Nice work!...I just have a small problem regarding the solution above...

The above solution was applied and it worked very well, thank you. But, how do I get the second level buttons to reset after closing the accordion by clicking on Top level buttons. Currently...The second level button stays highlighted/disabled after the accordion has been closed and reopened.

I want to have the second level buttons stay highlighted and disabled when they are selected and being used, but when the top level nav is engaged then I'd like the sub Nav to reset...

Thanks for your help...

Add a static function in Level2Item.as:

public static function resetSub(){
crt.enabled = true;
crt.onRollOut();
}

Now, inside Level1Item.as, inside the onRelease method you should add:

oxylus.TwoLevelsMenu.Level2Item.resetSub();

Save and republish.

does the second level stay open while on the page that the url pointed to from the home page.....?

[pelsar]

both my as files do not have the same exact coding as you have shown here..which means i can't say i'm sure where i am putting in the changes...

import mx.utils.Delegate;

public function Level1Item() {

private function onRelease() {

crt.onRollOut();
crt = this;
crt.enabled = false;

}
private function mcPlay(mc:MovieClip, f:Number) {
if (f == 0) {

}
mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
var cf:Number = this._currentframe;

delete this.onEnterFrame;
} else if (cf<f) {
this.nextFrame();
} else {
this.prevFrame();
}
};
}
private function onRollOver() {
mcPlay(Bg, 0);
mcPlay(Arw, 0);
}
private function onRollOut() {
mcPlay(Bg, 1);
mcPlay(Arw, 1);
}
private function onReleaseOutside() {

}
}
