DYNAMIC XML MENU

HomeBrowse CategoriesFlashMenus & ButtonsVertical MenusDynamic XML Menu

This vertical menu is TOTALLY customizable and is easy to configure via XML .You can also drag and drop the movie clip into your projects and configure it easily with flash. The actionscript and the xml files are pretty well documented, there is also a help file and the zip comes with the 3 examples.

You can change the size of the flash movie in the HTML to make it larger or shorter and the menu wont scale and wont move from the position that you specified in the XML .This allows you to have really long menus with virtually any amount of items.

You can place this menu in front of any kind of image or design and make the background of the movie transparent by adding this parameter in the HTML : param name=”wmode” value=”transparent” and this line in the embed tag: wmode=”transparent”

Here is a list of all the parameters you can configure via XML or ActionScript:

+    tweenVelocity
+    firstTextColor
+    secondTextColor
+    firstRectangleColor
+    secondRectangleColor    
+    rectangleWidth
+    rectangleHeight
+    verticalSpace (Between Rectangles)
+    initialAlphaTween
+    selectedMenu (Enable or Disabled)
+    initialPressedButton
+    initialMenuPositionX
+    initialMenuPositionY
+    initialTextPositionX
+    initialTextPositionY
+    initialTextWidth
+    initialTextHeight
+    typeWriterEffect (Enable or Disabled)
+    titleName
+    link
+    window (_self, _blank... or another frame)

You can also easily call your own functions or do whatever you want through actionscript using flash.

With Adobe Flash 10 in Firefox, the firstTextColor and secondTextColor settings are no longer working for me. Everything is switching to black. Anyone have a fix for this?

just an update… the text color issue in firefox only is an issue when using wmode transparent as a parameter. Looking at adobe’s bug system, I get the impression this is a bug that will be addressed so hopefully it will be resolved in a future update.
