Sliding XML Menu

This is a single level, horizontal, customizable XML menu that can be implemented with or without a copy of Flash. You can go with the default look and only define the menu item text, or you can change any of the following (using XML ):

• menu item text
• destination URLs
• the window you want the destination URL to open in
• the menu item font/size/color
• the selected menu item color
• moving box color
• moving box speed
• item separator (line) visibility
• item separator color.

If you don’t like the look of the box (and you have Flash), you can easily change it to an underline or whatever you want and the XML file can still control the color.

If you want to put this menu inside your flash site, you can also easily assign ActionScript to be run when the menu items are clicked as easy as this:

myMenu.setItemAction(1, function() {
    trace("my action here");
});

Enjoy!
