Old fashion menues

[johanbj]

Hi

Please bear with me, I'm a newbie... Is there a web-site or an example that explains how to make these types of menues:
I have 3 choices that I want the user to choose from: 1) More Information 2) Register 3) Quit. Menu 1 should automatically be highlighted and marked with a see-through rectangle. If the users presses down-arrow, the next menu should be highlighted and marked with the same rectangle, and so on... I think this is the old way of navigating through a menu. No use of mouse, only selecting with arrows for up, down,left, right and Enter as OK instead of click with mouse.

Best Regards,
Bjarte

Hi and yes, just like those menues, but it can even be more simple. There doesn't have to be that fade-inn effect on the see-through rectangle... And the menu should work with press on the keyboard (left, rigt arrow and enter) instead of mouse.

Yes, this is the one that I'm looking for, but how to control it by the arrow-keys? I'm not able to use the propriu.rar file :-(( Which program should I use?

(Rename the: ".rar" file to: ".zip" then unzip it!) To control by keys you need to add this:

onClipEvent (keyDown) {
	if (Key.isDown(37)) {
		direction = "left";
	}
	if (Key.isDown(39)) {
		direction = "right";
	}
	if (Key.isDown(38)) {
		direction = "up";
	}
	if (Key.isDown(40)) {
		direction = "down";
	}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (direction == "left") {
	    // left code here
	} else if (direction == "right") {
	    // right code here
	} else if (direction == "up") {
	    // up code here
	} else if (direction == "down") {
	    // down code here
	}
}
