mm_style() undefined?

Howdy,

I just took my old 3.4 file and ran it through the converter to see what would happen. I then took the result and just replaced my old menu_array.js file with the new one (of course I made a backup first).

When I view my web page locally now to test it, I don't get a menu but get the little error icon at the bottom of IE6. When I open it it says:

Error: 'mm_style' is undefined.

Do I need to do anything to the mmenu.js file at all or any other steps I need to take to get the upgrade to work? I didn't really see any isntructions anywhere other than to just stick my menu_array file in the converter.

Thanks.



EDIT:
Here's the first part of the menu_array file...


if(navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE 6.0")>0)
{
effect="Fade(duration=0.2);Alpha(style=0,opacity=88);Shadow(color='#000000', Direction=135, Strength=5)"
}
else
{
effect="Shadow(color='#777777', Direction=135, Strength=5)"
}

_menuCloseDelay=500;
_menuOpenDelay=150;
_scrollAmount=3;
_scrollDelay=20;
_followSpeed=5;
_followRate=40;
_subOffsetTop=10;
_subOffsetLeft=10;


with(style1=new mm_style()){
offcolor="white";
offbgcolor="none";
oncolor="pink";
fontsize=11;
fontstyle="normal";
fontweight="bold";
fontfamily="Verdana, Arial";
padding=5;
subimage="arrow2.gif";
high3dcolor="#66ffff";
low3dcolor="#000099";
pagecolor="red";
headercolor="#ffffff";
separatorcolor="#3399ff";
}

Did you follow the install docs that come with the download of the menu? You need to copy the milonic_src, the mmenudom, and the mmenuns4 files onto your server as well. Then you need to reference those files correctly in any pages that use the menu....the docs explain it all.


From this am guessing you just plugged your converted menu into your page, which uses all the old code. Download the menu samples and read the docs!

First, a tip - whenever posting code use the tags provided at the top of the posting page. A lot can get lost when you don't.

Based on your message I have to make quite a few assumptions, the main one being...

1. You just ran your _data file through the converter and then popped the result back on the server? If so, wouldn't it seem logical that since it's a v3 to v5 converter there might be some changes to the menu code as well that need to be loaded?

If (1 = true) then that is, obviously, the problem. Download the complete v5 from the main site, read the included install instructions (it is completely different than v3), and try again.

If (1 <> true), then my apologies. Post a URL (as requested) so we can see all your code and dig into it further to get you going.

Well as a suggestion to Milonic, maybe on he COnverter page it should have a note that says You will also need to download the sample menu to work with your newly converted file. There is no mention of this anywhere that I could see. Some simple Upgrade Instructions would be nice that would say which file to download and replace and things like that.

When you've converted your menu there is a link provided to download the file. This will send you to a page with a link to either the converted file or the whole download that will include your converted menu. This will include everything you need.
