PEARL - xml dynamic horizontal menu

Nice Menu. A few questions left: 1. Can a TARGET set in the XML (or AS)? 2. I need a bit smaller font-height is that easy to set? 3. The demo menu is not woking. Where in the purchased version do I set getUrl and TARGET ?

Hi Milian, thanks for your interest. Here are the answers:

1. No, you can only set the url. Here is an example of the xml node for a menu item:

2. Just open the fla. Go to “menuButton” movieclip in the library and open it. There’s a layer called “txt” which contains the dynamic text field. Edit its properties and you’re ready!

3. For the preview I removed the url, just to let it show the click effect without opening another window

Anyway… your questions suggested me some modifications that I can make (adding a “font size” property in the xml, and the “target” value for each button link). I will post a revision for this menu very soon. If you’re interesetd you can still buy it now and then freely download again the upgraded version.

Thanks!

ops… here it is the xml node for the menu item:

<Item title="About Us" link="http://activeden.net"></Item>

And here is the xml menu config line:

<Options sound="yes" align="center" marginleft="0" margintop="30" itemSize="auto"></Options>

Ok bluegestalt, thanks for your answers! Let us know when the modifications are online for purchase.

Very nice menu Bluegestalt! . I want the buttons close (near) to the top and left of the *.fla. Where and how can I place the buttons to that place. (The height will then be appr. 45px)

2. Can you tell me how and where to set the first button (Home) active when start-up? I work with Frames so this would be a nice. Tanks in Advance. Milian

Hi, I need resize the Height 130px to 40px.

Is possible edit the .FLA for resize.

Thanks

@jarscr: yes, you can easily change the graphic, editing the fla. There are specific library elements for the buttons, the highlight, the text field, etc… so you just have to edit the .fla to change the height of the buttons (or the color, or whatever). The width of the buttons instead is automatic, as they are resized according to the content.

Hi bluegestaltX, I would like to purchase this template with one modification: Would you be able to supply it so that the menu buttons are spread out horizontally from left to right with equal spacing between buttons depending on the width of the browser window? This would be ideal if when the window becomes too small the buttons do not overlap each other.

I would like to purchase ASAP . Please advise.

Many thanks, Yaz

Are submenus possible? Can one change the colors inclusing the background?

I am pretty good at changing the code, but just couple questions!!!

Is the code in the fla file or like in a xxx.as file?

Can all the modifications be done inside flash when it comes to like the button gradient, the line the goes over it?

I bought this menu from OXYLUS and it sucks everything is code ever the design of the buttons, so if you want to change something simple we have to read and try to understand the whole code!!! I am never buying stuff from OXYLUS ever again, seems to me he doesnt know designer, he just knows a lot of code, but doesnt make our life easier, I mean how simple is to go to a button mc and change the color, or we have to read the code to try to find where to change it. Dont get me started with some other things we can’t change that easy!!!

Hey.

I cant’s see the buttons in flash cs4 – what do i do? Love the menu and want to use it
