Global Navigation Public Methods

setFade(fade:Boolean):void

• Default is “false”.
• If “false”, the children of a button are visible immediatly at rollOver (if setFadeInOnMouseOver is “true”) or release (when the button is clicked). No onMouseOver event is dispatched.
• If “true”, the onMouseOver event is dispatched, where you have to handle the fading in of the children buttons by yourself.

setFadeInOnMouseOver(fade:Boolean):void

• Default is “true”. Note: If you use the xml attribute btnMakeRoomY, set this to “false”: setFadeInOnMouseOver(false). The combination is not (yet) working as expected!

getFadeInOnMouseOver():Boolean

setFadeInDepth(value:String)

• “front” or “back”. Default is “front”.

setFadeOutTimerDelay(delay:Number):void

• Default is 2 seconds.
• The time the children buttons renaim visible when the mouse has rolled out before they fade out again.

setFadeInChainDelay(delay:Number):void

• Defauklt is “0”.
• The time the children of a button wait before the fade in when a deeplink is active. This is usefull if you have a longer animation for fading in buttons, to have a more sequential over all animation. See examples, select example Nr. 8 and click on “Deeplink-Demo” at the bottom.

setKeepRolloverStatus(value:Boolean)

• Default is “false”. See examples, select example Nr. 15, and read this blog post.

getKeepRolloverStatus():Boolean

setAlwaysHideChildren(value:Boolean)

• Default is “false”. NOTE: setAlwaysHideChildren depends on setFadeInOnMouseOver. If setFadeInOnMouseOver is “false”, setAlwaysHideChildren will also be “false”. It is only effective if setFadeInOnMouseOver is “true”.

getAlwaysHideChildren():Boolean

setBtnDepths(rollOutDepth:String, rollOverDepth:String, pressDepth:String, releaseDepth:String)

• Values are “front” or “back”. Default is “front”, “front”, “front”, “front”

getBtnsByID(idArr:Array = null):Array

• Returns an array of NavigationButtons

// Example:
var b:Array = navigationManager.getBtnsByID(["b0","b1_0","b1_1_0"]);
trace(b[0].btnSize)
trace(b[1].initX)
trace(b[2].makeRoomY)

getSiblings(btnID:String):Array

• Returns an array of NavigationButtons of the same level

getParent(btnID:String):Object

• Returns the parent button (NavigationButton) of a button by btnID

getChildren(btnID:String):Array

• Returns the children of a button (by btnID) as an array of NavigationButtons

activateBtn(btnID:String, dispatch:Boolean = true):void

• Activates a button. If dispatch is “false”, only the button status will change, but no event will be dispatched. This is required for example when a deeplink is fired and the content is already loading, the button has to reflect the change but should not activate anything. Espacially in Gaia this is usefull, because there the button only reacts to the “goto” event.

getBranchForGaia(btnID:String):String

• Needed for Gaia projects. There are situations where you need the branches. See the documentation for more info.

activateBtnByPageID(pageID:String, dispatch:Boolean = false):NavigationButton

• Needed for Gaia projects. There are situations where you need the pages. See the documentation for more info.

deactivateAll():void

• Deactivates all buttons

getBtnsContainer():MovieClip

• Get the container where all buttons are added into
