flash drop down menu issue

[DNSQuest]

Hello everyone. I am relatively new to flash, and using CS3 I have experienced an issue where the drop down menus tend to stick down when you move the mouse across the drop down menu buttons rapidly. The site is http://www.thecbguys.com/
Can anyone take a gander and maybe let me know if you can take a look at my fla file?

Thanks in advance

I know nothing about AS3 I can easily remake it for you in AS2 if you like & fix everything.. Nice site btw.

Hi,

AS3 has a MOUSE_LEAVE stage event, so try this on your first frame.

import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.ui.Mouse;
//
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, OffScreen);

function OffScreen(evt:Event):void
{
    trace("Mouse is now OFF screen");
    // call function to hide all menus !!
}

Thanks. How would I get my fla test file over?

Hi,

I obtained your swf from your site, it's not AS3, it's actually published for AS1.
I don't have time to do it, but if you attach your fla here, perhaps Alloy_Bacon can do it, he said he would!!

Good luck

Hi,

Having looked, I think you should do this.

remove the "on (rollOver){gotoAndStop("open");}" from each button that has or needs the drop menu.

and put this on the outer shell of the button clip

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true))
    {
        this.gotoAndStop("open");
    }
    else
    {
        this.gotoAndStop("closed");
    }
} 

you will need to remove all the invisible buttons from each drop menu clip too.

But its a lot of extra work to decompile (so I will not do it) if you don't post your fla.

Hi,

I said I wouldn't do it, but hell I did, the link will be up for a limited time, perhaps 1 week, then gone.

The fla is CS 6 and published for AS1 as was the original file and not AS3 as suggested initially.

Fruitbeard, thank you much! Sorry for my late response I was travelling saturday and sunday. I will download the files tonight. Again, much appreciated!!

Fruitbeard, could you please save a copy of the new fla for CS3?

[fruitbeard]

Hi,

Sorry, I am unable to save back to previous Flash versions (without installing them etc etc), perhaps Alloy Bacon or Angelhdz would do it for you, I know they both seem to have various Flash versions flying around the place.

Alloy Bacon, can you please export Fruitbeard's fla into a format compatible with CS3?

All, I am all set now, thanks again for the assistance!
