[Xerte] Re: display checkmarks on menu

[Kemp Johnathan]

Hello Ron,

I don't know how you are building your menu but if each item is a text
object you could assign an image to each text item and then change the
image when the menu item has been accessed.

Create an image icon for each image you will require - it may be you just
use a tick image and a transparent image. In this example I'll call then
imgBlank and imgTick

For each image capture the url data

blankUrl =
imgBlank.XMLElement.attributes.url.substring(16,imgBlank.XMLElement.attributes.url.length
-1 );
tickUrl =
imgTick.XMLElement.attributes.url.substring(16,imgTick.XMLElement.attributes.url.length
-1 );

// Set the image visible properties to 0 to hide them.
imgBlank._visible = 0;
imgTick._visible = 0;

// create a movieclip loader
loader = new MovieClipLoader();

// for each text icon in your menu you can then assign an image
txtMenuItemA.createEmptyMovieClip("myImage", 999);
// then assign the appropriate graphic
loader.loadClip(FileLocation + blankUrl, txtMenuItemA.myImage);

// at a later time you should be able to change the graphic to a tick
loader.loadClip(FileLocation + tickUrl, txtMenuItemA.myImage);

The above is based on a page I created a while back.

I don't have time to test it out now but if you think it looks like it may
solve your problem then give it a try.
If you have any issues getting it to work post back and I will check
everything over to make sure I haven't missed anything out.

Kind regards

Johnathan
