[HD] Flash Drop Down Menu Tutorial with Actionscript 3.0

[1974MichaelR]

Nice tutorial!!

With this tutorial there is not a second of time wasted.

thanks allot.

But 1 question how do i code a second dropdown cause this:

firstFrame_btn.addEventListene­r(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, goBackF);

secondFrame_btn.addEventListen­er(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, goBackF);

function goBackF(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(1);

}

doesent work :(

[1974MichaelR]

@1974MichaelR i did it i got the second dropdown was pretty easy to do in the end :P

it had every thing to do with how to build up the layers.

i made 2 new Layers, build up new buttons and a frame arround it.

rename the frame to, for example contactFrame_btn.

then insert a new keyframe in as about 10 frames after port_mc then insert a new frame name.

like for example contact_mc, then press f9 for coding in actionscript and put in this code:

[1974MichaelR]

@1974MichaelR

stop();

contactFrame_btn.addEventListe­ner(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, goBackG);

function goBackG(event:MouseEvent):void­{

gotoAndStop(1);

}

[Redmitochondria]

Excellent video tutorial. I appreciate that you didn't skip explaining things that seemed obvious and you took your time showing all the steps. Thank you!!!

[SDGplayer]

thank you !

[Bellinthecurry]

hi please help me! @27:01 u did a cutting of the edges... how do i do that? i can't seem to do it

[victim0001]

OK, I finished the menu. How do I make it work on my website?

[kenohio25]

The way you teach is simply awesome...and I believe it's need lots of patience to teach like this...very nice voice..thanks a lot for your time.

[procise1982]

Great tutorial!! Im new to Flash an AS3 and was able to create this drop down menu.

[hotdos1987]

Please help me out. im getting the error:

RangeError: Error #2006: The supplied index is out of bounds. at flash.display::DisplayObjectCo­ntainer/setChildIndex() at web_fla::MainTimeline/navOverF­()

at line, showed in arrows below

function navOverF(event:MouseEvent):voi­d{ event.target.filters = [navBtnGlow];

------>navbar_mc.setChildIndex­(event.target as MovieClip, 1);

------>dropMenus_mc.gotoAndSto­p(navbar_mc.getChildAt(1).name­);

}

[MockingSoul]

Great tutorial! I'm only a beginner and I managed to actually create the drop down menu with your help. By the way, you have a very pleasant voice so I don't mind listening to it for the whole 40 minutes : ) Thank you so much!

[godziothc]

Having an issue, one dropdown is working perfectly but wanted to make another menu in the same app and the setChildIndex/getChild doesn't want to work again. Tracing doesn't bring results, changing index from (1) to (2) in the second one failed aswell. Compared to the first one it's identical (except for the instance names ofc) any ideas why it won't even trace the movieclips that are supposed to open popups?

[ravenguardguild]

um its not working for me. i keep getting errors."

//navBar_mc.setChildIndex(even­t.target as MovieClip, 1); //DropMenus_MC.gotoAndStop(nav­Bar_mc.getChildAt(1).name); "

the error i get is " Scene 1, Layer 'actions', Frame 1, Line 9 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method getChildAt through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton. "

any help would be greatly appreciated

[MCtinRad]

Great tutorial, it's a lot to intake in a 40 minute sitting though.

I had to watch it again a few times.

[WSnook37025]

an excellent tutorial, thanks sir!

[egilito]

Great tutorial as always :)

I have one question though. How do you get rid of the background? I mean, the white background is still there when you use it in for example dreamweaver. I´m still new to all this and would very much appreciate any help i can get.

[MovieTrailersHD1080]

Thank you so much :)!

[guramika1]

the tutorials great, I understanded perfectly and all, and my first language isn't english, but try to slow down on next tutorials, not everyone understands english that good

[torcunningham]

the new page you make in Scene 1 (on frame 2 for example) for the button to link to has to be labelled. I have called it new_frame. In the function the gotoAndStop contains this label. If you do not use MovieClip(this.root). before the gotoAndStop the link will not work. thumbs up if it works for you :)

[torcunningham]

had trouble linking the drop down buttons to a new frame in main scene. i eventually found a solution hope this helps. Here is the code that you put in the same actions frame that your buttons are on, ill explain after.

WebDes_btn.addEventListener(Mo­useEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, WebDesPage);

function WebDesPage (Event:MouseEvent):void{ MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndSt­op("new_frame"); }

I gave the web design button an instance name WebDes_btn and made a function for when it is clicked. cont...

I would like to create another drop down menu for the about button that drops down when "about" is moused over. What action script would i use and where do i put it?

[kipster4]

Ok so I want to put another drop down menu on my "about" navBar button and have it only drop down when moused over. where do i put the action script for that and what do i type? Thank you so much this was extremely helpful!!!

[juverah]

Thank you for this tutorial! Helped me a lot. :)

[MrBingLee]

has any one mentioned that you sort of sound like Michael J. Fox? any way, this was really helpful and understood everything you were saying =D

[O2Electronics]

[TheHolyGrailOfGaming]

If thats a simple one, i wanna know what advanced is. :/

[nelson138]

I´ve looked every where with out any result. can you help me? or any one else who knows what to do your help will be appreciated!

thanks!

[thijsy01]

Hey man! Thanks for putting the tut up, but I got a lil' problem when I run it... I don't get the dropdown but the glow works. In the Output frame I get this error:

TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null. at flash.display::DisplayObjectCo­ntainer/setChildIndex() at DDM_fla::MainTimeline/navOver(­)

could you please help me out?

[Iliyansky1]

AWESOME tutorial dude! ... thank you very much!!!!

[visvire]

My only dislike about flash dropdowns is you have to increase the canvas space to compensate for the expanded menu which eats up a lot of website real estate.

[jtoadlol27]

I'm creating a lot of buttons from icons, do I need to have multiple AS layers for each drop down menu or can I just copy the code? Also how do I link the menus in my Clicker to the icon button in my Scene?

Great Tut, and thanks!

[sbjoe3]

Thanks dude, I can always rely on your tutorials

[Kraftwerk67]

You speak too fast

[1zorrr]

great man ! thanks !!!! :-)

[xOxymoronic]

I can't thank you enough. I'll admit, I'm a complete noob when it comes to Flash CS5 and ActionScript 3.0, and I've been searching for a way to make simple drop down menus and I had terrible luck.

Unlike others', your guide is full and complete outlining EVERYTHING we need to do, so we can have the easiest time learning.

Once again, thankyou.

[LostEquinox]

if i start typiung the script i get some messages saying "import flash.filters.GlowFilter;"

and

"import flash.events.MouseEvent;"

What the hell?

[Linoleumaz]

Thanks a million

[DRoofcat]

Great tutorial. This is my first time with actionscript besides making a play button. Ive taken a flash class but have yet to take a actionscript class. I am having a bit of trouble with this. I finished everything but my drop down menu wont show up. I keep getting this error:

TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null. at flash.display::DisplayObjectCo­ntainer/setChildIndex() at dropdownmenu_fla::MainTimeline­/navOverF()

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? TY in advance!

[imnot15im84]

ive learned one thing today, dont start your actionscripting with a 40 min long tutorial:S

[kinnnngkhan]

Hey! can you extend the tutorial by extending the dropdown to other buttons...actually what i m tryin to do is... let say you go to portfolio then the drop down comes up, now after that when you click on a button in portfolio menu the menu for that button to come over...any suggestions???

[Darkaero108]

wow you talk fast, great video though thanks xD

[emilelampe]

i don't what i've done wrong but when my cursor goes over Portfolio there isn't coming a submenu?

can please anyone help me?

i'm sorry for my english, it's not my first language

[railfanatic844]

how do you make multiple drop down menus? multiple clickers???

[joeykeys2003]

How do you inappropriate this code to the other navBar items? How would i make the about me react the same. Plz help a brotha out!!! lol thanks

[kopy001]

can someone please explain to me how to insert this into dreamweaver, and will it have all that white bg when it is in dreamweaver? I will sub u :D

[Noctis411]

@kopy001 U just export ur .fla file to an swf (ctrl+enter). Then go in dreamweaver, create a div tag with hieght and width same as ur stage, then drag and drop the swf file in that div. U can also use the publish function in flash itself, go File -> Publish and it will make the html page for u.

[AshSmith06]

To all having trouble search youtube for Flash drop down menu tutorial in ActionScript 3 by flashbuilding

[AshSmith06]

I have added this code to set the main movie clips to show a hand tool...

button_mc.buttonMode=true;

However, the hit area for these movie clips is in the lower half. Every time I move to the center or above that lower portion the mouse pointer turns into a cursor. So how do you set the movie clip hit area to be the whole movie clip area?

Please help.

[AshSmith06]

Is it possible to set the main navBar buttons to buttons instead of movie clips? I'd like to have the mouse pointer display a hand tool like it does for the drop down buttons, and be able to Mouse_CLICK them when using the navigateToURL code.

Please help.

[AshSmith06]

Is it possible to re-code this so that the main navBar buttons are buttons instead of movie clips? You can setup to navigateToURL on these movie clips, but it'd look much better if they were buttons one could click... with the mouse pointer displaying the hand tool.

Can anyone advise me how to set this up.

Thanks

[sirClogg]

Did anyone figure out, how to place links to submenu buttons?

[AshSmith06]

@sirClogg,

Watch this tutvid (name below) about 14:30 in and you'll see how to add navigateToURL to your sub-menu buttons. Just add the code in a new layer called AS in frame one of your clicker/drop downs button where the drop down buttons live.

The output is telling me something is wrong with the childIndex...

.........

TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null. at flash.display::DisplayObjectCo­ntainer/setChildIndex() at FlashWebsiteIntroPart3_fla::Ma­inTimeline/navOverF()

Please can you help me fix this issue.

And, having done one, how do I go ahead and do another drop down for a another button and finally add getURL's to each link?

Thanks,

Ashley

[Xene]

Hi!! I followed your tutorial and it works perfectly! but I've a doubt, how do you script when you have two drop down menus?

Thanks.

[dfotographer]

Hi There.. I tried to follow your tutorial.. all seem smooth till the end. The error shows - TypeError: Error #1006: getChlidAt is not a function. at GoGreenHome_fla::MainTimeline/­navOverF() 

My dropdown menu didnt show up & Keeps flickering... Can you advise please? Thanks.

[ttdantt10384]

[OComputerHacksO]

I have trouble with the navBar_mc I named the mcNavBar symble to nav_mc is that right or is it navBar_mc??

[OComputerHacksO]

@OComputerHacksO nvm i got it......

[dabears900]

PPL TRYING TO CREATE LINKS!!

I used this and it worked for me:

in the AS layer actions:

navbar_mc.home_mc.addEventList­ener( MouseEvent.CLICK, function():void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest("index.html"), "_self"); }

);

navbar_mc = the video clip with all my buttons contained

home_mc=the instance name for my home button

index.html = my root page

hope this helps!

[sirClogg]

@dabears900

nice. But there is a tutvid tutorial covering this as well. What it doesnt cover (and Im strugling with it right now, because its my 1st as3 project and Im completly lost) is how to add links to buttons in that dropdown menu.

I tryed:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

var getDrop1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mysite.html");

drop1_btn.addEventListener(Mou­seEvent.CLICK, dropClick);

function dropClick(event:MouseEvent):vo­id { navigateToURL(getDrop1);

}

But I get error #1009 all the time

[sirClogg]

@sirClogg btw it works for the other buttons the "main ones" SO ANYONE, WHO WANTS TO LINK THOSE, CAN USE IT. just place this code to 1st frame inside the buttons_mc. Make several variables with different links

var varName:URLREqu..

And attach them to your menu buttons

mainmenu_btn.addEvent ...

And make several functions

[sirClogg]

the error says: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I placed the script in that 5th frame inside dropdown menus mc (I followed the tutorial exactly :) )

the "drop1_btn" is one of my buttons in that dropdown menu.

Could you please tell me how to attach links to theese buttons? Thank you.

[sfcviper]

you spoke like Mark Zuckerberg from the Social Network movie lol

[Magareyt]

Very complicated......

[dvzee19]

I can understand how much of learning curve u would have gone thru before expalaining to us without hesitation.. :-)

[JeremyHof]

Tank you for this well explained tut, one of the better tuts out there. Learned allot and will use it for school projects. Tanks again !

Q

[captainkdizzle]

I found a fix for the "TypeError:Error #2007: ..." If you are using a text as one of your drop down buttons you have to change it to static text and it will work fine. To get to this, double click on you navBar_mc and select each text and change it to static.

[AshSmith06]

@captainkdizzle, my text is static and it doesn't resolve the issue. Any other ideas?

[BKollerMusicPL]

Thanks!!

Vera 

[kkm0103]

Can someone pls help, how to link the buttons to the page?

[flutep]

i cant stroke...

[Schneckism]

OK ANSWER TO THE NULL THING:

I figured it out. We all probably tried to copy and paste buttons into our nav bar instead of starting from scratch. Atleast I did and thats why I got this, so:

Click into your navbar (navBar_mc) and then into your button_mc until you get to your buttonbase and text. you may have to unlock the buttonbase layer. Then delete your button and draw out a 100X20 rectangle.

gets rid of the error message but stinks if you wanted a over effect.

[AshSmith06]

@Schneckism,

I copied buttons created from a base from the library as detailed in the video. I'm not sure what you mean, but I have this issue too. Please could you describe how you fixed it.

[tommiejohansson]

@TutFlash I have exactly the same problem... what is wrong?

[TutFlash]

@tommiejohansson have no idea guys from this channel didnt anwser me , so i found out other rollout menu with masking effect its better for me so i left this method.. Good luck anyway:)

[hagnii]

Hey guys. For those of you trying to figure out how to do duplicate dropdown menus, I think I've figured out the solution. I would try to post it here in the comments, but it's about 600 words, which far exceeds the character limit of a youtube comment. It's not that complicated, but I do take you through each individual step.

The full tutorial is in pdf format and can be downloaded here: mediafire (dot) com/?19a7f32fp33vcu3

Hope it helps!

[IERTOI]

Great video. I went through the video and have checked my work literally 10 plus times and do not understand why I am getting an error. Also, my main navigation button is flashing at a constant quick rate once the mouse is over. The error I recieved was:

TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null. at flash.display::DisplayObjectCo­ntainer/setChildIndex() at wip_fla::MainTimeline/navOverF­()

[producer0787]

how do you make the other drop down menus? They all open for me, when you roll over one.

[hagnii]

@producer0787

Hey, I think I have a solution for you. It probably has to do with the root level actionscript. You have to copy and paste the functions as well as the actions they perform for both buttons. There's a whole lot more detail in my parallel tutorial. It's a PDF and can be found in my above post. I hope you find it useful!

[FreeMovieDownload203]

[Lumhiere]

uhmm question here!, i have already premade buttons that i have made using photoshop cs5, can i use i here ??

[MultiComputerScience]

@Lumhiere Yes, just import the picture(buttons) to flash and make sure you have selected the picture that u want to make a button and press f8 (convert to symbol) and make it a button and name like you want, now its a button.. Np

[NxP100]

Sorry I maybe didn't explain it well in my last comment. What I'm saying is that I have a dropdown menu that have some buttons, those buttons I want them to be linked to frame labels that are outside the movieclip, in the main timeline, scene 1. So what's the actionscript (3) code, so I can make it work? I've tried with gotoandPlay ("frame label") but it doesn't work and I also tried with gotoAndPlay ("scene 1", "label") but again, it doesn't work! I hope you understand me! Thanks!

@NxP100 Did you manage to make this work?? I'm stuck with the same problem. I tried to name my other pages the same as the menu button's instance names. And made the gotoandStop link with a getchildindex function. That does work, however the buttons that are clicked won't go away anymore... Please tell me how you managed to do this..
