Look good. One VERY important feature missing, text over the thumb when mouse is over so the user knows what’s he’s clicking on, otherwise the user is clicking blindly at an image and have no idea where it will lead him to.

The Snake Menu (XML)
A unique menu with dynamic, pixel-perfect buttons, which are all dynamically scaled and positioned in relation to the mouse position to produce a unique animation among the buttons. This animation is entirely controlled by ActionScript. This is a thumbnail menu for galleries or even a gallery in itself if you plug in images big enough. Thumbnail images can be any size you would like! But it works and looks much better if they are all the same height, and looks best if they are all the same size in width and height. All the buyer has to do is fill in the XML . There are also other things the buyer can change.
This menu is used in The Snake XML Image Gallery.
The Snake Menu V2 with tooltips is now available.
AS3 .
All code is commented and step by step instructions included.

Woow this is a nice file !
+1 madman; i’d definitely buy a copy if this feature (tips) could be added.
Can the images be used as links ? i tried clicking on several thumbs but nothing happened.
thanks

its got super smooth scrolling. I mean, if you put a cape and tights on it it would probably BE super scroller.

I’m trying to get the buttons to link to pages, but am having trouble – is there any other documentation available?

toddnoe: the click function is already set up for you in the code – please email me with your contact info so i can send you a very detailed outline of how to write whatever click function actions you would like
mott: thanks man, i’ll get on it, but these upload times take a long time, haha. 
I’m with the others put the tool tip on the buttons so they know what they are clicking and I’ll grab a copy.
Another question are the images pulled from a directory or do they have to be embeded into the file? I’d like to use this with an XML admin for creating the icons and it would be easier for the client if they could load the image and/or select it from a folder and I put the images in.

Make sure in v2 you add automatic scrolling as well. So even if mouse is not over anything, it slowly scrolls left to right and back. Attention grabber so visitors hovers over it.

madman: It does scroll, even if you are not over any of the thumbnails – I don’t know what the problem there is – is your Flash Player up to date?
toddnoe: thank you bow 
Hi everyone, I’ve just uploaded the V2 with tooltips, so hopefully that will be up soon and everyone can help themselves to that. Thanks for the support.
