DYNAMIC XML MENU (AS3) WITH DROPDOWN SUBMENU'S

Full_screen_preview

This is a dynamic XML Menu fully written in AS 3 .0 (Flash CS3 ) with DropDown submenu’s.

In the preview you can play with some settings ot see how it works. I have to note that most links have the target ‘_blank’ so open in a new window. Except in the third menu the first submenu, (in the .xml I have set the target to ‘_self’ there).
Also in the preview if you scale it could be rollovers don’t work as desired, but that’s because the textfields from the settings run over it. It’s works like a charm outside the preview.

Specs

  • Unlimited menu’s
  • Unlimited submenu’s
  • XML driven
  • Easy to customize (a lot of variables)
Nice to know :
  • Inside a movieclip (so drag ‘n drop ‘n done)
  • Manual explains how to add menu’s and such and how to make use of the flashvars !
  • Usage of Actionscript 3.0 (to implement in your newest sites)
  • Very lite ! (95% code, now it’s 50kb just because all font’s are embedded)
  • Easy to customize the looks, animation, ...
    No need to re-color all movieclips, just change a variable and done !

Requirements

  • Flash CS3
  • Basic knowledge from xml (but it’s also explained in the tutorial)

If you still have questions or comments, send me a mail !

Thanks and enjoy !

Looks like there still are a few bugs in this menu. The links still are present when the submenu dissapears. And the submenu does not dissapear when mouse gets out of the mainmenu.

Hi, NinetyNine

What happens to the submenus when the text is rally long, like (“2008 Special Events Calendar Implementation”;)?

Will the text wrap?

Can the text be left-aligned on all menus and submenus?

Thanks!

You can wrap the text if desired also the left-aligning is possible by altering the movieclip :)

If you need any help send me an email !

Thanks

How can variables be passed to the menu (width, colors, etc)? It’s not covered in the 3-page help file.

Thanks!

@irvin00 : You have to make the changes in the fla. Go inside the movieClip of the menu en hit the actions layer. Make your changes and recompile to .swf and done !

Thanks

transluceny…..does it have it?...so that when its over a flash animation we can still see whats behind it?

Posted 2 months ago

did i buy the wrong menus? i need the following- translucent menus left alignment just the font color to change on the top menus-not the background (and it would be nice if the sub menus can be longer than the top menu)

and there appears to be a bug..the swf opens up with the left menu open….
