Tree component

Today, I've started to work in a new project where I need to use the new UI components

So, to test myself, I've made the little links thing that you can see on the right.

And I must say that everything has been fast and easy!:

_global.style.setStyle("fontSize", 12); myTree.setStyle("color", 0x999966); myTree.setStyle("borderStyle","solid"); myTree.setStyle("themeColor", "haloBlue"); // load and asign content myTreeDataProvider = new XML(); myTreeDataProvider.ignoreWhite = true; myTreeDataProvider.onLoad = function(){ myTree.dataProvider = myTreeDataProvider; } myTreeDataProvider.load("/enlaces/tree_en.xml"); myTreeListener = new Object(); myTreeListener.tree = myTree; myTreeListener.change = function(eventObject){ var theSelectedNode = eventObject.target.selectedNode; var theSelectedNodeLabel = theSelectedNode.attributes.label; var esLink = theSelectedNode.attributes.isLink; var esBranch = this.tree.getIsBranch(theSelectedNode) if (esBranch){ if (this.tree.getIsOpen(theSelectedNode)){ this.tree.setIsOpen(theSelectedNode, false, true); }else{ this.tree.setIsOpen(theSelectedNode, true, true); } }else{ if (esLink){ var theSelectedNodeURL = theSelectedNode.attributes.url; //trace("url " + theSelectedNodeURL); getURL(theSelectedNodeURL, "_blank"); } } } myTree.addEventListener("change", myTreeListener); stop();

The spanish version works also with the same swf.

Obviously the xml is generated as utf-8, so flash can display spanish and english characters.

In early December I created a link tree with the Flash MX 2004 Tree component, and posted some example code - http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000075.cfm

In my example, I do the XML parsing by hand (since the menu is actually 5 different XML files). Also, take note of the "iconFunction" to allow for an image to be displayed for the category. I also went the old-school way of the "changeHandler" instead of defining a chance event listener.

To see the menu, you'll have to visit the front page of my weblog at http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/index.cfm

Hi, Darron, and welcome!

I remember reading about your link tree when you released it. It is great!
