I wanted to know if it's possible to have the flash menu understand what page you are on so that it will highlight the menu item associated with it.

Example: my .php page get function "index.php?page=about" if this is true, than select / highllght the "about" on the menu.

Please help,
Thanks in advance.

Hello,

If your pages are made entirely in Flash, the menu highlights the menu item associated with the page automatically. If your pages are made in HTML, you should use the DW Creative Menus, because they do it automatically.

Sincerely,

I have made a page entirely in flash using XML to drive the menu, but the menu is not highlighting the correct item in the page for the url it has loaded. Is this function of highlighting still possible with an XML driven menu in flash?

Thank you,

Hello,

You probably create a new instance of the menu component each time you change a page. Because of that the highlight is lost.

You can force the menu to highlight the button that you need by using this code:
my_menu.selectButton("button_id");

Place it on the first frame of each "page".

If you need more help, please send us a copy of the FLA at support at extendstudio.com

Regards,
Andrei Rinciog

Is the "button_id" the buttons name in the XML? <button text="Contact Us" url=.....>

Also, I have a preloader on the first frame, still place it there?

I'll also send you the FLA.

Thanks
