menu on master will not align

[hege_d]

I have been trying for hours to align an accordion manu with a hamburger icon inside, with links to facebook and insta. It will not align in any way. so now i' m trying to put them on top of each other, but they still do whatever they want!

I show you here a picture of how close together i want them -and how its turning out . WHY?? I have checked pinning, alignment, spacing on all elements- and it won't work!

and if i try to have the on a line next to each other they wont. some are high some are low. ARGHH

Could you please upload a .muse file with only this object constellation to Dropbox and give us the download link?

And, having done this, could you please clarify your second posting? I don’t understand, what you are trying to achieve.

Hi Günter. We transfer with muse-file here WeTransfer

i have tried to align them side by side and over each other - neither works. I can center align on page, but i rather have it in one of the sides. I have tried to group them, to pin them, etc. Also to embed the icons into the accordion.

I am not astonished, that this construction doesn’t work.

3rd party widgets very seldom work correctly, if you integrate them by using sophisticated Muse functions like element nesting.

What happens her:

• You take the 3rd party widget "Animated Hamburger" by "creativated.com" and copy it.

• You click your way into a standard accordion widget: accordion -> label -> text.

• You paste the widget like text into the text box within the accordion label.

• You pray to the gods of fancy web sites, that this construction will work – but it doesn’t.

Nesting of objects and widgets seldom is supported by 3rd party vendors.

A different way, not as fancy as intended, but working:

Fill the accordion label with an image and move it by using state-wise different orientations (this small 9-dot-grid-icon) or fill the different states of the accordion label by different images. Nice side effect in this case: You can use the "Transition" feature in the "States" panel to animate the change of states.

Here you find a corrected sample file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7046655/menu_alignment.zip

Matching ambitions and skills – that is a wide spread, human genetic defect.

Be happy to suffer from this. Otherwise you weren’t a human!
