Flash XML Menu was designed to help create nice animated website headers in seconds! All configuration parameters and settings are moved to the external file for maximal flexibility. Menu structure and links are stored in a separate file as well.
Horizontal Flash XML Menu is data-independent. That is why creating your Menu in Flash requires zero Flash knowledge! All you need is define menu items and set corresponding links and colors! Paging functionality comes into play automatically when you add more menu items than possible to fit into your movie. Runtime namespace with special functions and procedures constructor assures correct work and no interference with other objects in the library. You can also set the menu to pop up downwards or upwards, by changing only one variable!
XML Menu is ideal for CMS driven websites as well, because menu structure file is well-defined and can be generated dynamically.
Flash menu has a wide set of parameters that make it easy to customize for every website Interface: Menu popup direction, Size, Colors, Font face name and size, Background transparency setting (as in example Below).
And what is more important – most flash menu parameters are stored in the external file, that is why you do not need to edit flash files and set up external configuration file instead!
Using as SWF
Insert SWF object into the html page (or use sample code provided in delivered files) and change path to XML files with menu structure and visual settings. This enables running same menus with different visual settings or structure on different pages. Your website users require Flash player version 6 or above to run the menu correctly.
Using as FLA
