@santiago872: be sure to embed the characters of the font that you use.

Select the textfield > go to properties panel > click on "character embedding" > be sure to select "Uppercase, Lowercase, Numerals, Basic Latin AND Punctuation". Punctuation will give you the & sign

Dwight,
I can't open the .FLA file with Flash 8 Pro. I get an error "Unexpected file format". Is it saved as flash 8?

Note that I can open the fla files of the other post that you have except this one.

Hi zillraja,

normally I don't give so much support on a freebie that I've made. But in this occasion I will make an exception ;-)

I've changed the code to your wishes. Notice that I also have modified the XML-file.

New features:
- Loads .FLV file into the video component when clicking on sub-buttons.

- Loads .FLV file into the video component when a "category-button" doesn't have sub-buttons, but does have a URL to the video.

I hope you can use this to save your job ;-)

Hi Dwight,
Thanks for the file.I have placed a "1.flv" file in the folder,and edited xml file as <item>
<title>title - 1</title>
<url>aneis1.flv</url>
</item>

But it is not loading.As i am opening in browser it says

"A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 9 to run slowly....Do u want to abort the script?"

And one more humble request...Please give me one more tree view inside "title1".if i click on "title1" i want it load one more submenu inside "title1"...

And in one of the category i dont want any submenus at all(anyway that i will do, i will remove the code in xml from
<item>...</item> so that only category will be displayed.And as i click on the category there should be link to load flv file inside flash too.

Please save my job,i am in new job in new company and this is my first project and i dont want to loose my impression...i asked many people nobody could do it...i have hope on u only....

i really wonder if u be very thankful and greatful to u if u help me in this case

Thank you very much.....

I made a quick FLA to show what I mean in my last comment.
You can download it at: labs.dwightdemmers.nl/downloads/xml_menu with video.zip

user Dwight
the listing author Dwight 16 years ago

You should put an .FLV component on the stage next to the menu or if you can use NetConnection (google and adobe help for more info).
Then you need to modify the code used by the buttons (onRelease function).
If you decide to use the standard FLVPlayback Component then the onRelease function should be something like:
_parent.nameOfTheVideoComponent.content Path = XMLdoc.firstChild.childNodes[num].childN odes[this.subNum].firstChild.nextSibling .firstChild;

@goloat: That is strange... It opens in my CS3 even if I download it from this site.

@arttree: It shouldn't be to hard to create a tween effect. Try using the mx.transition.Tween and mx.transitions.easing.* classes

user arttree

Is it possible to add in Sliding or tween effect to the menu? it will be perfect then :)

It's ok now, I moved your files. The issue weas that you zipped a full folder and folders are preserved, I moved the xml file outside of the folder.

user Dwight

Can I upload my ZIP containing my XML again? It doesn't work now...
