Hello Johnathan

 

Thanks for this suggestion. It's far bit over my head at this point but I'll
try to work my way through it as time permits.

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.attribut
es.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

I'd like to turn checkmarks on on a menu when the student has finished a
section.

 

I want to loop through an array to get '1' or '0' then place the checkmark
and display it if the value is '1'.

 

How to best do that in AS? Can I create one checkmark graphic, move it
around with x/y coordinates and make it visible on the fly? Any time saving
suggestions on how to best handle this? My AW code is not a direct port on
this one :- (


Happy New Year!
