Yet another menu with a cool rollover effect.
This menu:
* of course is XML driven, you can add buttons by adding them in the XML file.
* automatically centers on stage
* automatically takes up the full width of the stage
* can load URL's and SWF's (the example does URL's)

Extra:
* You can add a 50x50px icon for the roll over effect. These icons are loaded by adding them in the XML file.
* You can also give the text of the menu a different colour by stating the colour code in the XML file. You can even give each menu item a different colour if you want.
* Of course the URL's for each button are also loaded from the XML file.
* All the tweening in this menu is done via AS, not via timeline

If you want to use this menu in your project, just copy the menu movieclip to your library. All the other mc's will automatically be copied to your library as well

All the actionscript is written in seperate layers and every line of code is commented, so it's very easy to understand too.

You can place this menu in your movie in 2 ways:
* Just drag the menu mc to your stage, align it to the absolute left of the stage and place it at the height you want it to be.
* Or you can add it via actionscript, which I have done in this file. So you have a good example of how to do this.

I added to design examples, but the menu is made out of mc's, so fairly easy to change.

Hope you like it!

This appears to be a flash file, you cannot see a preview because flash player is no longer supoorted in browsers, but you can still download the file to study it's source code.
You can open/play the swf file with Flash Player exe

Hello, this menu is very nice.
But i have 2 questions :
I've opened the .fla file with cs5 but i didn't find how to change the option _blank, where is it?
Is it possible to open the link in a frame and not in a entire page?

Hi again, please ignore that last question, I've figured it out! :)

Many thanks again

yvot, fantastic menu, well done. I have but one question: How can I add foreign (namely Turkish) letters to the XML file so that they are displayed. I've tried but they don't appear!!

I'd love to use your menu, but this is holding me back.

Much appreciated

Thank you. My files are always commented in the code. Enjoy!

Sorry, I should have checked properly. It's all stated clearly in the flash file. I've set it to load on _self.
Thanks and well done.

Hi, thanks for this. Could you please tell me how to make urls load on on the same page instead of a new page i.e. link target is _self instead of _blank.

So unfortunate when you do something for people and trust them, that they disappoint you by not paying for it. Very unfortunate Steve.

Nice looking, but one thing that is buggin me is the fact that the width of the whole menu changes.

Sorry newbie in the house, thnx for the tip adrian.

Click the link under it "Full size (700x200)" to view it at full size.

yvot 16 years ago

The example does not look as great as the original (graphics wise), cause it's been scaled down a bit. I made the fla to big for this site. Sorry bout that.
