uh. maybe i just purchased/downloaded a different file or something because this is not “Excellent documented”. A thorough list of attributes isn’t the same as clear instructions.

I’m not a flash expert at all, so I don’t claim to know what I’m doing, but i was able to get this working pretty easily on my local machine. Step two was getting it to work online. But then step three has me baffled: I can’t get the swf to work within my site, as part of a page. I realize that this is not the fault of the flash, but some BETTER documentation might have helped relieve me of this puzzle.

You need to open it in CS3.
You can see source codes in com/flashdo/flashblue folder.

yes i did tweaked fonts/size using CS3, but doesnt go to the url I placed.. and I cant figure out how to put it into a frame so it can stay.

the flash appears in a different place when I use other browsers.

You need to use it in a AS3 project. Also, you need to try it on a website if your Flash Player settings isn’t available to run urls on localhost.

You can try to load it externally by writing that code:
```
var loader:Loader = new Loader(); 
loader.load(new URLRequest("menu.swf")); 
addChild(loader); 
```
Or you need to copy-paste library items into your project. Then, copy codes in com/flashdo/flashblue except Main.as

Add that codes into your Main.as file:
```
//FlashVars 
			var xmlUrl = "xml/menu.xml"; 
			if (stage.loaderInfo.parameters["xmlUrl"]) { 
				xmlUrl = stage.loaderInfo.parameters["xmlUrl"]; 
			} 
			//Use these lines to add banner to another flash project 
			var menu:BlurMenu = new BlurMenu(xmlUrl);	 
			addChild(menu); 
```

Hello,

is it posible to set just one items color and text size?

Thank you.

# / posted on Sep 09, 2009

No. You can set color-size for all items.

Do you mean the ff (which I already did but doesn’t seem to work):

1. Copy paste ALL folders/items into the main library project

2. Copy/paste codes (//Flashvars var xmlUrl…) into the top area of BlurMenu.as and XMLLoader.as?

3. Copy/paste codes (var loader:Loader…) into Main.as?

Thanks

Do you want to use it on a HTML page? Can you send me a private message about it?

I couldn’t get your message. Can you send me an e-mail directly to [email protected]?

agree with the previous poster —a list of attributes is not “excellent documentation”.
most of us buy these components because our skills/understanding is basic/intermediate…add in that its AS3 and it’s tough.
Meant as constructive criticism..the file is beautiful….how the heck do I change the font?

# / posted on Sep 22, 2009

You can change font from library & coding.

Firstly, open menu.fla. Go to library. You’ll see fonts movieclip. Change “Myriad Pro” to other font.

Then, open com/flashdo/flashblue/BlurMenu.as . Search & replace “Myriad Pro” to other font name.

Finally, export fla source.

This is a great looking menu, however, DO NOT EXPECT THE AUTHOR TO RESPOND TO EMAIL SUPPORT QUESTIONS. It won’t happen.

var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.load(new URLRequest("menu.swf")); addChild(loader);

You need to load menu into an existing movieclip. I wrote that code as example.

Got it going and it works perfect!! -

-Make a drawing object the dimensions of the menu area stage -move to background- make transparent - -export - in another fla and add a loader the dimensions as the menu stage - set the path to the menu swf

I got my loader at: http://www.jumpeyecomponents.com

Hi, Great component.

How do I link to 'markers' within the movie itself? What do I need to change here?
```
    About Us        
    navigateToURLs
    http://www.flashcomponents.net/authors/index.html, _parent      
```
Thanks.

Is there a way of making the links go to internal 'markers' within the movie?

I'd like to use this as a menu within a flash document and link to frames and scenes and markers and not to external pages etc.

Thanks

You have to write your own function call to BlurMenu.as. Find "methodCall" function & write your own codes like "navigateToURLs"

Thanks for your help. Unfortunatley, I don't know how to add this to the "methodCall' function. I wanted to use a single scene and make the buttons go to a frame and stop.

Sadly, I'll have to try and find a different component. Thanks.
