i am having problems with a dynamic menu calling from a data base. The menu with its submenu shows up but always the last menu button doesnt show its sub menu. I am using cold fusion to input the menu variables.
This is what flash reads to generate the menu system.
&News_List=Current,Archieve&News_Links=Current.cfm ,Archieve.cfm&Products_List=Box 1,box 2,box 3&Products_Links=box.cfm,box.cfm,box.cfm&Company_L ist=company 1,conpany 2,company 3&Company_Links=company.cfm,company2.cfm,company3. cfm&Contact_List=Contact 1,Contact 2&Contact_Links=Conatact.cfm,Contact2.cfm&Stafflis ting_List=Staff 1,Staff 2,Staff 3&Stafflisting_Links=Staff1.cfm,Staff2.cfm,Staff3. cfm&Status=1&
if you goto
http://calbox.com/menu.html
you can see that the submenu work for all but the staff buttton. The cold fusion is outputting the info it needs for the staff button, but flash isnt displaying it. If i add a another menu button then the staff submenu shows. Its always the last menu button that dosent show its submenu.
Here is the script from the flash that generates the menu submenu.
MC_Over._visible = 0;
// depth
depth = 1;
// hide the origional clips
MC_Over.Sub._visible = 0;
// split up the array by looking for the commas
tmp = "_level0." add hidID add "_List";
set ("Sub_array", eval(tmp).split(","));
tmp2 = "_level0." add hidID add "_Links";
set ("Link_array", eval(tmp2).split(","));
// get the length of the array
Sub_length = Sub_array.length;
// set the start y position (x position depends on where you put it on the screen)
yposition = -60;
// looping everything
for (i=0; i<Sub_length; i++) {
// Name position
duplicateMovieClip (MC_Over.Sub, "Sub" add i, depth);
// URL position
setProperty ("MC_Over.Sub" add i, _y, yposition);
// Name and URL values
set ("MC_Over.Sub" add i add ".Text", Sub_array[i]);
set ("MC_Over.Sub" add i add ".URL", Link_array[i]);
depth++;
// YPOS Must be adjusted per button size
yposition = yposition+30;
}

code is hard to read, but i think you want to load menu items as specified in your document? correct? ok. Take a look at my open source fla that i wrote. I just finished the exact same thing only with text files. Shouldnt be difficult at all to switch to variables from a database.
