Hi,

I have some drop down menus I used in Flash from the UI Components.. for some
reason they open upwards on my page, and I cant see what is in them..

I want them to drop down and not go up...

Anyone know how to fix this.. must be something simple, I just cant find it..

Thanks

I think the drop down menus drop down by default. Flash calculates whether they
will fit on the screen depending on how many items you are trying to display.
If it determines that the list will not fit downward, it goes upward. Try
reducing the number of items you are trying to display at one time.

Hi,

I see what you are saying, but drop down menus hover downward sort of... they
do not really need room to fit.... I mean, if I have 10 items lets say, do I
need to have blank white space for the drop down men to fit? That should not
be the case... for instance in this forum, there is a navigation drop down, its
not Flash I know, but drop downs are ideal for when space is tight and you want
to display a lot of options... I don't understand why the drop down would not
go down... . this is weird..

I made a page with tons of white space and my drop downs still open upwards...
and there is one drop down that does not even open.. it tries to but apparently
it can't...

I am sorry but I think you will have to post an example of the offending file
so we can understand better. I have always been able to fix this by limiting
the maximum number of lines to display and positioning of the menu on the stage
so I cannot fully grasp the problem you are having.

Hi,

the problem does not lie within flash..

its my published .swf file..

I imported it into an html table... in flash, the menus work fine.. if I go to
Test Movie in Flash, it works fine..

The menus behave exactly how they are supposed to in Flash....

I have this code on the html page:

<td><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ve
rsion=6,0,29,0" width="685" height="119">
<param name="movie" value="../../media/myfile.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="../../media/myfile.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="685" height="119"></embed>
</object></td>

Hope that helps.. but from what I can see, the code above is sort of
autogenerated by Dreamweaver.. I mean, it looks fine to me...
