Referencing item's textfield in Drop Down (Tree) Menu V3
(2007-08-29 - views: 3720)
Q: How can I set the anti-alias for the text of Drop Down (Tree) Menu's items
A: In order to access the textfield of the Drop Down (Tree) Menu v3 to set the anti-alias option or other option you may want to modify, you have to use the actionscript below:
var listener = new Object();
listener.onDrawComplete = function (evtObj){
//call recurent function for the first menu.
parseMenu(dropDownMenu.subMenus)
}
//this is a function parse each menu .
function parseMenu(arg){
//arg = menu reference
//get the length of the menu items array
var len = arg.itemsMc.length
//go on each menu item
for (var i =0;i<len;i++){
//check if this menu item will open another submenu . If yes we will check that submenu
if (arg.itemsMc[i].myMenu!=undefined){
parseMenu(arg.itemsMc[i].myMenu);
}
//to reference the textfield you have to write arg.itemsMc[i] ... for example made the border visible for all items
//you can now apply anything you want on this textField.
arg.itemsMc[i].myText.border = true;
}
}
//add listener to menu
this.dropDownMenu.addEventListener("onDrawComplete",listener)
See the attached archive for a working example:

var listener = new Object();
listener.onDrawComplete = function (evtObj){
//call recurent function for the first menu.
parseMenu(dropDownMenu.subMenus)
}
//this is a function parse each menu .
function parseMenu(arg){
//arg = menu reference
//get the length of the menu items array
var len = arg.itemsMc.length
//go on each menu item
for (var i =0;i<len;i++){
//check if this menu item will open another submenu . If yes we will check that submenu
if (arg.itemsMc[i].myMenu!=undefined){
parseMenu(arg.itemsMc[i].myMenu);
}
//to reference the textfield you have to write arg.itemsMc[i] ... for example made the border visible for all items
//you can now apply anything you want on this textField.
arg.itemsMc[i].myText.border = true;
}
}

textfield changing depending on the selected item
Hello!!
I would like to know if it is possible to have a dynamic textfield that takes a variable text from the Menu XML and how can I do it.
Example:
When I press "Home > Subtitle 1" the text shown on the dynamic textfield changes to "You are in Home-Subtitle 1"
Thanks

This function used to parse the menu is very useful and important. For example if you want to use hand cursor for your menu, all you have to do is to replace the arg.itemsMc[i].myText.border = true; line with arg.itemsMc[i].useHandCursor = true; and you have now this menu with hand cursor. The same function is used on the "Centering the titles on the Drop Down (Tree) Menu V3" item...
