Milonic JavaScript Menu

Good news... with the flash player 8 that is currently in public beta, you will be able to call flash functions from javascript on any browser in any environment. So this will be huge for what you are talking about.

Andy,

Hey sorry it's been a few days I got a little busy. But ya with the Javascript it calls a function called getBrowser that returns the a object depending on what browser they are using. ie uses window[movieName] and firefox/netscape uses document[movieName] for flash objects. That is weird ...

That is weird it doesnt work in your firefox 1.02 I need to download some older browser versions and see if I can see what the problem is.... do you get errors or no animations or?

With the flash piece unfortunately it isnt as easy as just making a flash button that has a rollover state. You have ...

I got it working!!!!

Working Example: http://www.engagethoughtware.com/v3/pages/products/index.php

FireFox v1.0.6 winXP
IE v6.0.2900 winXP
Netscape v7.2 winXP

NEEDS TESTING ON A MAC


does not currently work on:
Opera v8 "probably will never look into ...

Its not completely done but I got a flash piece to be transparent and a subImage aligned Right. It took some Jerry Rigging but it works pretty good. This will save a lot of file size and graphic creation because I am using tranparencys in flash and we have different color sub menu's. Im also working ...

Hey I am playing with it right now.... so from what I can tell the only way to place any type of html object in a menu item is in the text= attribute?

Wow Ruth great response... I have to take off from work but I am going to try this out tomorrow. I will let you know how it goes and list any problems I run into just incase somebody reads this in the future.

Is it possible to use a .swf for a subimage inside of a menu. It would help me a lot. I tried putting the <object><embed></embed></object> inside of the subimage property but it looks like it puts an <img> tag around it.

Thanks in advanced
