Guest Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Hey guys and gals I 'm sure this is simple..but I'm trying to put a Nav bar in my header that reads an xml file for the information contained in the Navbar. I can get the Navbar to appear in my header but its missing the Text. It is changing to the appropriate colors on rollover that I assigned to it but it's not showing anything else. Can anybody help?

blueline Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 I probably shouldn't be showing you this cause I threw it together in like 2 seconds, and it doesn't look right yet......but check this out: http://www.eclyptiq.com/flashosC Is this what you're talking about? -Chris Chris Sullivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Blue Line that Navbar you have on top is similar to what I need. Is it xml driven from Flash? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueline Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Yep....flash and xml. I'll tell you though....the biggest problem with something like that is this: The menu will only show in the confines of flash....and depending on how many links you want in your menu, the menu may be longer than the flash movie....and then the menu will just get cut off. I am actually looking into building the whole admin in flash, and something like that would work then....but for just a regular site, I would recommend a DHTML menu instead. -Chris Chris Sullivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I tried to do it that way bt its not reading the xml file. Its seing the bar but no text. How did you get it to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueline Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Are you using the XML Connector? You have to have Flash Pro 2004. Also, did you bind the connector to the menu compoenent? -Chris Chris Sullivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I'm using MX. The NAVBAR works locally when I test it. Did you specify the data source differently than just the file name or did you give it an actual path? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueline Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Probably a dumb question....but sis you make sure to upload your .xml file to your remote server? -Chris Chris Sullivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 definetly not a stupid question...I've done worse. But yes it's uploaded and in the same folder as the .swf. Did you have to specify a path in the component portion besides the actual xml filename? I don't know I'll keep plugging away. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueline Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 No....you can just name the .xml file as long as it's in the same folder. -Chris Like I said....MX 2004 PRO makes it so easy. If you do a lot of flash I would DEFINITELY recommend it. Chris Sullivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
