I have the same question. I can not find the new "Creative FL Vertical Menu" book in the Flash help facility. But I did find the FL Vertical Menu extention installed in components, so it looks like the install worked even though it did not update the Flash Help.
I am running Flash Pro 8, and downloaded your free demo.
Thanks,

I recently purchased this product and have created some menus that we are very satisfied with. My question is:
How do I get the drodowns to overlay the content immediately below it? I currently have 2 Flash files
1. Menu.swf (made with Extend Studio)
2. SkyPLUS.swf (Our company's animated banner)
I want the dropdowns to overlay the animated banner when they dropdown.
Thanks,
Al

If you want to overlay the menus over html code containing any kind of content (swf, pictures, text, java applets, etc. ) you should use the Dreamweaver menu extensions which have the following main features:
- SEO friendly
- Easy to manage across the website
- Can be placed anywhere
- Browser compliant
- The menus have over 30 built in skins
- Over 35 menu and button effects
- Custom skin support
- and many other
NOTE: in order to overlay this kind of menus over a SWF you should do two more steps:
1. Set the background of the Flash movie to be transparent <param name="wmode" value="transparent">. Here you can find more about this http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14201&sliceId=2 ;
2.Give a higher z-index to the div containing the menu
If you want to overlay using the FLASH menu components you should include the menu and the banner in the same FLASH file. The menus created with the FLASH components cant overlay over html content, they had be made to be used in Flash.
If you encounter any other problems please feel free to contact us.
Cheers,
Catalin Serban

Thank you so much for this info. Sometime today I will implement these instructions and see if I get the needed results.
I will look into getting the html menu studio as well. Before I do however I encountered another problem with my Flash menu studio that I will address with the support person wh helped me the other day.
Thanks,

Hi,
I've ordered last night and read the manual - Creative FL Tabbed Menu Documentation in 'Flash CS3 Help Files'.
but I can't found something. help me please.
1. How can I link - url & button?
'Adding Button Actions' was described in the manual.
this is the only way to link url?
2. Button Setting Resize menu in Layout tab is not working. I can't find the right way.
Manual described 'Fit to text' will be 'Each button is resized to fit its text', but It doesn't any change between resize 3 options (no resize, fit to text, fit to latgest text)

How can I control it?

There are two methods of adding a link to a button in the FLASH component. Both are described in the documentation and are the only one. This two methods offers a great flexibility because you are able to add the following actions:
- You can add a URL
- You can call functions from you FLASH file
- You can gotoAndPlay anything
- You can basically call anything you want
The button resizing option (fit to text, fit to largest text & no resize) are override by minimal button size. So if you have a minimal button of 150 px and you choose fit to text? or fit to largest? the option will be visible only if your button label is bigger than this size. You can do a quick text to see exactly how it works:
- Go to preview mode and choose the Adobe menu Skin or Apple menu Skin
- In the Layout Tab, under the Main Button Settings? switch between fit to largest text and fit to text and click update. You will see the changes accordingly
- You can also set, just for testing purpose, a button label like My company name is EXTEND?. This is a very big label but it will see how the resize works on a big scale.
A few more things that you need to consider:
- The menu size can be set from the Stage just by using the Flash resize options
- The buttons cant be downsized lower than the default skin element size. It can only go up. The default size for any given skin element is around 100px.

You state that the instructions addinga URL link to a button is "in the documentation." What documentation? I looked at the Extend menu drop down menu docs in the help file but saw no mention of how to add a URL. Could you please be a bit more specific as to exactly where this documentation is?
Thanks,
Al

Hello Al,
You can find more about how to add a URL or any other action in the Help Panel > Creative FL Drop Down Menu > Working With Drop Down Menus > Adding Button Actions. (ATTENTION: you need to select All Books? in the Flash Help)
Here you will find the two methods described earlier. In order to call an URL you have to replace the ?trace alerts? that you can see in the examples from the Adding Button Actions? with the getURL("http://www.thepage.com/", "_self"); ? function. Alternatively you can call a custom function that will handle the URL calls and can trigger other things in your banner.
Regards,
Catalin Serban

I've solve the two problems.
my url is http://www.modelaid.com
check it first.
the first is the menu size issue and the second is link the url.
the solution of first issue was resize library components size.
default size was near 100 px. I've solve the problem that every component image resize under 60 px.
if you have so many menus, resize library component size.
the solution of second issue was analyze sample file 'button actions.fla'
there is empty layer contain 'flash actions', that is the key of this issue.
If you make a menu, you need naming all menu items.
naming method is described in Help Menu 'Adding button actions' in Creative FL Tabbed (or Droped) Menu.
and you need make action script for activate that name.
and then you need naming the Creative Menus, like my_menu (same as the below action script variable)
below is my action script. (reference sample flash file)
-----
var my_menu_listener=new Object();
my_menu_listener.changed = function() {
switch (my_menu.selectedID) {
case "home": geturl("http://www.modelaid.com/"); break;
case "hmac": geturl("http://www.modelaid.com/about/mac/"); break;
case "hpolicy": geturl("http://www.modelaid.com/about/policy/01.html"); break;
case "htech": geturl("http://www.modelaid.com/application/"); break;
// case "eboard": geturl(""); break;
}
}
my_menu.addListener(my_menu_listener);
------
If you do that, play the preview.
If you can't solve the problem, check the sample file 'button actions.fla'.
thank you.

I am very eager to purchase the Creative FL Dropdown Menu - but before I do I am trying to figure out how to add sounds the the action (mouse over) the tabs. I want it so that while the mouse pases over the tabs that a quick sound will play (actually a water bloop) anyways if you could help me out with that I will purchase this software instantly. Thank you

I have made sample menus and have them working on a test site. This is my code for a get URL on sub menu 1 of Main 2. It is the only button that has code:
var menu_listener = new Object();
menu_listener.changed = function() {
switch (my_menu.selectedID) {
case "m2_1": getURL("http://albrassell.com/sky/SPT2.html", "_self"); break;
}
}
my_menu.addListener(menu_listener);
As it stands now I can only test the functionality and appearence of the site if it is hosted on a Web server. What must I do to be able to test it on a local drive?
I have also purchased the DW Dropdown menus and intend to replicate the menu system of the site with it. I wanted to Do it both as Flash and DW in order to "feel" the difference.
What I have found so far in the Flash process is:
1. Since I have a Flash banner on the index page and wanted the dropdowns to overlay the Flash content I had to make the menu part of the banner.
2. Since the banner only appears on the index page I had to create a stand-alone menu that would appear on every other page.
3. I had heard that the dropdowns for the stand-alone menu would not overlay the html content on the page but with a few tips from the support guys at Extend I seemed to have made it happen.
Everyone should keep talking about thier experiences in the Extend forums. It is amazing how much we can pick up from each other.

I noticed that you use absolute URLs. You can also use relative URLs so you can test localy.

Hi Danny,
The extension does not have a built-in feature for adding sounds, but you can use the events that are broadcasted by the component to play sounds when certain actions occur. You will have to use a little bit or ActionScript for this. Here is a list of the available events:
changed triggered when the selected button changes (when a button is clicked or selected by ActionScript)
subMenuOpen triggered when a submenu opens
subMenuClose - triggered when a submenu closes
We are working on an update that will contain multiple improvements and we will also add some more events in this update (for button rollover and rollout for example). The update will be ready in a couple of days.
Best regards,
Horea.

Hi Yann,
For now, using embedded fonts is not supported. You can choose your font and text formatting using the Text tab in the component interface.
We will add this feature in the near future along with a better ActionScript handling (ability to set the menu structure, text format, etc from ActionScript).
Best regards,
Horea RADU, Extend Studio.

I need some help... I have the following code on my movie with my new Extend Studio Menu's and I cant get the movie to load behind the Menu. Once I click on a button and It loads the mezzV3.swf into the scene it places it infront of the menu and you cant access the sub menu any more. Any help?
var loadContainer:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("cntnr", _getNextHighestDepth());
var menu_listener = new Object();
menu_listener.changed = function() {
switch (my_menu.selectedID) {
case "wpt": loadMovie("http://static.podshow.com/LukaszGFX/ky/mezzV3.swf", "cntnr");
cntnr._x = 0 ;
cntnr._y = 40 ;

Hello Lukasz,
I noticed that you are creating an empty MC at the highest possible depth, and in this MC you are loading the external SWF. The problem is caused by the depth umber, because you are creating the empty MovieClip above everything else.
The simplest solution in your case is to create the empty MovieClip in another MovieClip created by hand.
Here are the steps:
- Create a new layer under the MENU layer;
- create by hand a new movie clip on stage and place it on the new layer;
- then give this MC and instance name like myContainer;
- instead of
var loadContainer:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("cntnr", _getNextHighestDepth());
USE
var loadContainer:MovieClip = _root.myContainer.createEmptyMovieClip("cntnr", _getNextHighestDepth());

Well, I purchased the Flash Tabbed Menus, downloaded the extension, installed it. Removed the demo version so that only the new full extension was installed. I went into Flash and it is not listed in the Components panel. The Creative FL Tabbed Menu is under the Help File, but how do I get it started then if it's not listed under components?

We just purchased the Creative DropDown menu and can't get started. Your product looks good but if only we could get the Serial Number to be validated we would be happy campers.The S/N we got from my Account page gives error as follows: "Javascript ExtendLib". Please help us meet our deadline.

How would I make the buttons call different movie clips? I can only get one button to work or none. Here is how my code looks right now.
var loadContainer:MovieClip = _root.myContainer.createEmptyMovieClip("myContainer", _getNextHighestDepth());
var menu_listener = new Object();
menu_listener.changed = function() {
switch (my_menu.selectedID) {
case "show": show.onPress = function() {
loadMovie("shows.swf", "myContainer");
}
case "market": market.onPress = function() {
loadMovie("market.swf", "myContainer");
}
case "financial": financial.onPress = function() {
loadMovie("financial.swf", "myContainer");
}
case "choose": choose.onPress = function() {
loadMovie("choose.swf", "myContainer");
}
}
}

URL's simply don't launch no matter what I try.
I'm not a very experienced Flash author which is why I bought this script in the first place.
It would be helpful if the product would allow you to just drag the component to the stage, hit test movie and see it click to open a new browser window. Then at least I could look at all the code to see how it is working.
As it is, I create a new movie, drag the component to the stage ( which makes Flash roughly DOUBLE it's memory usage), edit the menu structure giving custom IDs, then I copy and paste the code in that's supplied in the Flash Help changing the ID portion in the code to match the acutal custom ID.
Click to test movie and the menu loads. I can click it, the submenus display. Rollovers are good. But no URLs open in a browser window when I click on any of the buttons that had a "geturl" applied to them.
What am I doing wrong and does anyone have a demo fla they could provide so I could peek at how they have it set up?
I'm not stupid, but I'm just not getting something here.
Thanks!

Hello Jeremy,
Please try reinstalling the commercial version.
Also, if you are using Flash CS3 check that your document has ActionScript 2.0 selected in the publish settings. If you select ActionScript 3.0 the component will not show in the Components Panel.

Hi there,
According to my Task Manager in WinXP, Flash 8 uses about 130MB of resources. As soon as I try to utilize the Creative FL Drop Down Menu component, I get an error warning me that a script is running that could cause system instabiliy. If I allow it to continue to run Flash 8 rockets to about 260MB in the task manager and feels like it's going to crash.
This on a Core 2 Quad with 4GB of RAM.
Anyone know how to stop this behavior?
Thanks,
Dave

Dave...
I have the same problem on my mac with CS3. Or at least when I try to add a new menu to a new movie once I have multiple movies open. if that makes sence. As for your coding problem... Are you running the script for multiple buttons? Could you show me the code that you are working with and maybe I can solve it for you.
var menu_listener = new Object();
menu_listener.changed = function() {
switch (my_menu.selectedID) {
case "myButton": getURL("http://www.google.com", "_self"); break;
// "myButton is the name of the button that you specified within the components properties pannel. (Press F1 for help with how to set up the instance names of your buttons.)
// You HAVE to make sure that once you do your getURL script you follow it with a [ ; break; ] to specify that this is the end of this code. then you can follow with the following...
case "my Button2" : getURL("http://www.djlukasz.com", "_self"); break;
and so forth to complete the call to action to all of the buttons. Know that you cannot call to these as actual buttons. so no on(release) or onPress actions.
I hope this helps you out because It took me a while to really get this down, but now that I do have it I really love the product! I'm looking forward to getting the other components from extend!
Cheers,
Lukasz

Thanks for the reply Lukasz.
Late last night I actually figured out what I was doing wrong and I would HIGHLY suggest to the team at Extend to include my experience in their documentation.
I am a beginner to Flash design and this product seemed like it was a good fit for me. But I must have spent literally 12 hours or more testing the component, reading the documentation, testing some more, reading these forums, testing some more trying every possible combination I could think of to get this thing to work.
The answer? I had to create a symbol and edit the instance of that symbol and then everything worked. Initially I had just dragged the component to the stage which is exactly how the documentation says to do it, pasted the supplied code from the documentation in the only place that looked logical which is right below the actionscript for the component itself, hit test movie and get all kinds of errors telling me I need an onClipEvent handler so I start chasing the route and spend hours and hours of frsutration trying to figure out how to get rid of these errors. Once I finally get rid of them, the buttons still don't open a URL.
Seriously, the documentation needs to say, "create a new symbol in your movie, edit the instance of that symbol, drag the component to the stage HERE, NOT to a layer in the main timeline, and paste the supplied code in layer 1, frame 1 of the instance". And actually code should be supplied in the documentation for getURL stuff because probably 80% of users are going to use it that way. It's just not very clear "out of the box" how to get this thing going and for me I've spent almost 2 days chasing my tail to finally get it to work. I could easily see people trying the demo and giving up out of frustration.
I can live with the component nearly crashing my system because it never does and once I create the menu I want, I can be done with it and move on but the lack of clear documentation is a real bummer.

I have to agree Dave. They do need a better explination of how to make these componenets actually work. For more advanced users they will be able to figure it out very quick but for us intermediate and beginners, we just look in the help section to find answers and then we look to the forums.
I think that you should explain that you have to copy the folder with the menu that you are using onto your library from the FLA file that they provide with the document. I also think that there should be an explination of the code that is required to make this component work. Along with modifiers that would enable these buttons to work as well.
I hope that all of thise great feedback helps you in the future to make a better delivery of this product to future customers.
good luck to you dave.

Hello,
First of all I want to thank you guys posting your questions, suggestions and requests here. It is of great help to us to get feedback from you on both the components and the documentation.
We have already used some of that feedback in the updates we have just released. Based on user requests and suggestions we have added features like XML support, easy links and actions, submenu transparency, etc. Now all you have to do in order to add a link to a button is type the URL next to the button label separated by a comma (you don't have to do coding any more). When you drag the component to the stage you have an example directly in the menu structure interface.
You can download the updated packages from the Account -> My Products section after logging into your extendstudio.com accounts.
We have also made our documentation and tutorials available online so we can update them easier on your requests.
Regarding the memory usage problem: sometimes Flash hangs on the custom interface. You should just click "yes" (to abort the script) and reselect the component in order to restart the interface and it will work fine. Unfortunately, we have no control on how Flash handles the custom interfaces. The interface is just a SWF file (a pretty complex one, it's true, but that's what it takes to make all those options easy to configure). We are working to improve and optimize the interface and we will find a solution for this too.
Best regards,
Horea RADU, Extend Studio

Hello Yann,
We will add this feature request to the wish list for the next update. How would you like this to behave? The button should not remain pressed after being clicked (should it return to it's previous state)? We could add an options for this.
Best regards,

I have purchased the Creative Menu for Flash just today. I installed the extension successfully and tried the sample xml_menu_dropdown.fla file. I am using Flash CS3 with all updates applied.
Everytime I attempt to view the Component Inspector, my CPU goes to 100% and I get a message from Flash "A script in this movie is causing Flash to run slowly..."
I have tried this on two machines now.
Thank you in advance for any help!!

Hey Drew -
It's a known issue they are working on. For now, choose to let the script to run or you won't be able to edit the component.
My Core 2 Quad even chokes on this script so hopefully they'll get a handle on it soon. It's never crashed my machine but would be cool if it didn't eat up so many resources.

I have Flash Pro 8 on my computer, and I have already install one component extension as SlideShowPro via *.mxp file without some problems.
But the dont work with CM_FL_D_115.mxp
What will I do?
Thanks for help

OK, I have to install the *.mxp file via Extension Manager and it went good I think.
But where is the documentation??
I press the help button in Component inspector but nothing happens.
And in Flash help, the are nothing about the Creative FL Drop Down Menu.
I am novice with flash and I really need a help file.
Thanks for replies
Tony

Hi Tony,
The documentation can be accessed in two ways:
1. When you are offline you can use the HELP button and the documentation will be opened in a new web browser window or browser tab ( depending on you configuration this can IE, Firefox, Opera, Mozilla, Safari, Camino etc) .
2. Can be accessed online, on the product page under the As simple as 1,2,3 ...? section . This is the recommended way to read the documentation because here it is always up to date. The direct link for Creative FL Drop Down Menus is http://www.extendstudio.com/Docs/Creative%20FL%20Drop%20Down%20Menu/
You said that you hadnt been able to see the Help Files when you clicked the help button. If you already had a browser window opened that the help should have been opened in that browser window in a new TAB. In the future check the browser!
Kind Regards,
Catalin Serban
P.S. : regarding the MXP package I think that it is a Extension Manager problem. Windows XP should recognized as the default application for the MXP files. Please try reinstlaing the latest verision from the Adobe website http://www.adobe.com/exchange/em_download/ .

Hi -
When I select a color in the General tab of the component inspector the color does not apear in the menu but rather a percentage of it does. I want the Main Menu Color to be the color I specify, and at 100% transparency. How is that accomplished?
Thanks,
JL

Hello again Josh,
Please specify the skin that you are trying to edit.
The best way in which you can modify the colors is by creating your own custom skin. You can find how to do this in the documentation.
Regards,
Monica Chitu.

I am in need of a way to add sounds to the Flash Menu. I would like the menu to make noise when I have a mouse scroll over. I was told the the "changed event" would be usefull. I just don't have much ActionScript knowledge to do this needed task. Is there anyway I could get some help, or possibly pay the Extend Studio team to help me with this last needed adjustment to my site menu. Thank you

Hello Danny,
At this moment we are very busy working at the new proucts that will be released soon. This is why, momentarily, we are unable to help you with custom development.
In order to add sounds, what you have to do is use the events triggered by the component.
The events triggered by the component are:
changed triggered when the selected button changes (when a button is clicked or selected by ActionScript)
subMenuOpen triggered when a submenu opens
subMenuClose - triggered when a submenu closes
buttonRollOver triggered when any button is rolled over
buttonRollOut - triggered when any button is rolled out
Regards,
Monica Chitu.
