I need to make a menu.
first, there's only an icon visible. On MouseOver, the menu appears. It sort of slides out horizontally.
My problem is, when I move the mouse to the menu items, the menu disappears again (because of the OnMouseOut of the icon).
I've searched flashkit movies and tuts and all, but I just can't seem to be able to get my menu working.
Anyone want to look at the work in progress, check out http://www.art2net.at/start.asp
The Art2Net Logo is the icon i mentioned.
Thanks guys and gals.
ciao,
Daniel

Why don't you make the hit area of the button larger? This way the buttons will stay on. The area could cover the other buttons. You could also use a clip if the buttons interfere with each other. Use the OnMouseMove event for the same efect.

nice footer !
well, if I make the hit area larger, the menu would slide out even if you don't move the mouse over the logo.
What is the "clip" you were talking about ?
Is there a really simple .fla somewhere that could help me out ?
Thanks for the quick reply

don't put a "on rollout" on the button that slides it out. Instead, make a large invisible button under the menu, and put a on rollover on that that closes the menu. There are many fla's on this all over the place. you might want to check the movies section.

Ok, here's an idea:
Why don't you make a movie clip that starts measuring the _xmouse and _ymouse when the mouse passes over the logo. This way, when the mouse leaves a certain area that you specify, then the menu disappears.
button:
onmouseover{
show buttons;
_root.MC.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
in the frames of MC:
frame1:
stop();
frame2:
if (_root._xmouse>maximum || _root._xmouse<minimum){
hide buttons;
gotoAndStop(1);
}
else if (_root._ymouse>maximum || _root._ymouse<minimum){
hide buttons;
gotoAndStop(1);
}
frame3:
gotoAndPlay(2);
This way the MC checks where the mouse is and when it leaves the area you specify by the minimum and maximum of both the y and x coordinates he buttons are hidden.
You can find good examples of menus at:

oh, I get it !!
I'll get right to it !
Thanks.
wskanaan ... what kind of a name is that ?
how do you like the menu ? Something's missing, but I can't put my finger on it. Any ideas ?
Hasta lavista, babies

hmm
well, i tried the invisible button thing.
Now, when I move the mouse over a button, that's on top of the invisible button, the entire thing fades out again.
I use goto frame 1 (that's the frame where only the logo is visible).
I checked out the code wskaanan fixed up for me, but I don't get it. How do I do "show buttons" and "hide buttons" ?
With goto frame ?
I think I'll go check out some fla's
thanks for trying guys.

Well, show and hide buttons is the way you did them with the buttons. I don't know how you did it.
The MC just loops and checks where the mouse is. When the mouse is out of a certain area it fades the buttons. Again, show buttons and hide buttons depends on how you did it.
