Hi,
You need to add this line in your settings.xml file, in <General_Properties> tag:
showAbout value=“false”;
Hi… I have the Dock and would like to use as a button navigation with a single Flash Movie with links on each thumb going to a scene within the same Flash movie… I realise I will have to put the Dock in every scene..
Is this possible…??

Hi,
If you want to play different frames in you Flash project, you could do something like this:
First you’ll need to drag&drop on the stage from you Components Window (Ctrl F7) the DockMenu component. If the component DockMenu doesn’t appears in the Components window, you’ll need to install it using mxp file that is found in the commercial archive.
Give an instance name to the DockMenu using Properties Window (Ctrl F3), for example: dockmenu.
After that, create a new layer an call it actions. Open the actions panel (F9).
Now you need to add the event listener that listens when you release a mouse click over the thumb.
Write the follwing piece of code in your actions panel.
AS3 version:
dockmenu.addEventListener(“thumbReleased”, onReleased);
Next write the function onReleased that treats this event:
function onReleased(e:Event):void
{
var id:Number = e.currentTarget.id;
gotoAndPlay(id);
}
AS2 version:
code dockmenu.addEventListener(“thumbReleased”, onReleased);
function onReleased(e:Object):Void
{ gotoAndPlay(e.id);
}
Using this id you can play different frames from your flash project.
hi again.. sorry we could not get it to work.. it said There was a syntax error in this script…
We were wondering how each thumb image will know to go to a different scene… We removed all url’s in the .xml file…..
Also, we would like to put a flip book on some of the scenes/pages. We bought a Flip Book a couple of years ago but we rather like your one since we can put a transparent window on the cover of our wedding books… We were wondering if this Flip Book could incorporate a .swf file created by a third party software.. The software does not create the fla file… Here is a demo of our VR Movies so you can see it..
http://www.redlynchsc.eq.edu.au/VR1/OneImageVR.html
We create .swf VR Movies for real estate… It would be great to showcase a small VR inside your Flip Book which we could put a url onto to open the html/.swf big version of it. Do you know if this type of .swf would work in your F/B.. since the swf was created using third party software….
We also have your Carousel which is just great.. Your components work so well.. and we love the way you can create the script file for copy and past…
Any help you can give us with our project would be appreciated…

hey.. sorry to bother you again with same subject but we really need help… there are heaps of menu docks but we like yours the best …. we used it on our college web site here…
http://redlynchsc.eq.edu.au/wcmss/
It was easy to put a url onto a html file and like it to self via the xml file… but crating a Flash link within the same movie is very hard to work out… perhaps its not possible at all… Strange.. I would have thought that this would be a regular use for it…
ANYONE WITH ANY PAST SKILLS IN THIS... PLEASE HELP! There must be some brainiacks out there….
Destiny….
you probably think this is really crazy but we keep getting syntax earror so we are trying everything and anything…. Like this…
code dockmenu.addEventListener(“thumbReleased”, onReleased);
function onReleased(DockMenu):Void
{ gotoAndPlay(“weddings”, 1);
}
well.. at least we are trying…
Destiny
Hey.. this is our project template… not finished…. As you can see we have our Dock buttons with no where to go…. but it will look so cool when its working….

gotoAndPlay(5);
}
we want to include a cms work flw in the dock menu with AS2
Hi,
You need to change the value of backgroundColor to 0 in your settings.xml.
Hi, I just purchased the commercial version of DockMenu FX. Forgive me, but I need to use special characters and i´m not getting.
For example, I put:
“...<![CDATA[António Márquez]]>...”
and appears:
“Ant Muez”
Thanks for the help
Hello again.
I hope you can help again :)
I have a commercial version of DockMenu FX. But now, i want a slideshow without XML and without, a folder to store the photos.
I need a “fla”, which i can can put the pictures and names/descriptions.
There is some here that I can buy??
Thank you very much.
Hello snowcat,
I bought the commercial version of the dockmenu for a client. He wants to show his artwork with thes galery function. Very fine but now he wants to change the description for the pictures dynamically via a php/mysql database. Do you have a solution for writing a xml-file via php or is it possible to let flash look into the mysql-database?
Thanks a lot for your quick answer.

Hi rui.fernandes,
This is the default mode for our flash applications but if you want to add images through the fla file we can do this as a custom work for an extra fee. Send your request to custom[at]flashxml.net.
