Showing complete route to last clicked item

[javierdealfonso]

Hi again Adrian,

I have now the need to show in the textbox (result_txt) not only the name of the item clicked but the complete route (category1/category2/.../item).

This way the user could see the position within the contents tree of the last clicked item (that is, the last loaded external movie clip or actual content of the screen), while he surfs the menu looking for another item to click on (another different content to be loaded).

Could you give a hand here?

Regards,

Javier

Try this:

PList_mc.onItemSelect = function(n:XMLNode) {
    var path:String = "";
    while (n.parentNode != null) {
        path = n.attributes.title+"/"+path;
        n = n.parentNode;
    }
    result_txt.text = path;
    
    trace(path);
};

Hi Adrian,

i tried your code but it wouldn't work. It will freeze Flash and after a couple of seconds i can stop the script so i can work again.
Any hints?
Thanks in advance

I've updated the code above. Sorry for the error.

sweet! thanks alot Adrian!
One more thing, is there a way to show the tree in the top title, but adding every submenu, i.e.: my menu goes like: framework -> management -> methods > items. I want to show in the top title the path im going (clicking) down the menu. Is that possible?

many thanks in advance!
cheers

I'm not sure the whole path will fit in the top title. But, if you want this addition, send me an email, and I'll reply with a quote.
