Hi Chuck,

Great menu, easy to use – this file has been a great-value buy.

I have an issue with the xml path – the menu works great as long as the web page with menu is in the same folder as the swf file.

If i put the web page in a sub-folder, the menu appears but won’t load the xml file.

I have tried changing the xml path (line 41) from a relative path menuXml.load(“menu.xml”;); to a path from the root folder menuXml.load(”/menu.xml”;); and also tried putting my domain name in menuXml.load(“http://www.mydomain.com/menu.xml”;);

It still won’t load the xml file when the menu appears on a page in a sub-folder, while the menu is out in the root folder.

Any suggestions?

Regards, Unity

Woops. Don’t worry. Looks like my Flash wasn’t publishing right, or Dreamweaver wasn’t overwriting the old swf when I uploaded it each time.

Everything is working fine with the paths I mentioned above.

BY THE WAY – EVERYONE SHOULD BUY THIS MENU if you haven’t already. It’s the quickest, easiest menu to configure, and actually works easily with minimal edits.

Compared to other menus on here, (and I’ve tried a few for my clients), this one wins out.

Hey Chuck what is up with the bg.jpg file? If I remove it only the first menu node with its submenus show up. Actually if I remove the background layer it does not work or the bg.jpg. Help!!!!

Hi prophet01,

that`s really strange! i am also amazed no one else has picked up on this! try changing lines 32 and 33 to this:

mask._width = Stage.width;
mask._height = Stage.height;

Dear Chuck, I already bought your file and send you an e-mail about my problem.

I figure a lot out but several problems still the same: The menu should have a length of 980pxl, I will have 9 main buttons.

So only 7 buttons are shown and when I resize the button and also the subbutton leght I have a lot of space between each button and still only shown 7 buttons.

Also I want to add sound in 2 different types: -sound 1 when you go over the main buttons -sound 2 when you go over the sublevels

But worked not out. Can you help me to run your great file? Waiting for your answer, really thanks a lot Tom

By the way, this – Background layer- was also one of my problems. Thanks chucks, now this works. But still black or white.

Can I have the sage transparent? And how?

Thanks Tom

Tom,

please remember support is free..

anyway:

1) sounds like you just need to resize your stage to 980px or am i missing something? I not sure why you would have alot of space between the buttons but make sure you are resizing everything, there is a layer called shad, unlock it and make sure ti resized too.

2) sorry but as you can see from the preview the file does not support sound and i don`t do freelance work. But really its very easy, look up how to add sound on any normal button then just add the code to the onRollOver events

3) sounds like you are putting the menu in a html site? not sure how you are embeding but you need to set the wmode to transparent. (look up swfobject)

thanks, chuck
