    Really nice work. But you really need to fix the jittery movement! I would buy it if you fixed it.

    Hi, I just purchased this and I get a 'failed to open document' when I try and open 3DZoomMenu.fla? Im using Flash 8. The 3DScene_API.fla opens fine.

    Hi,

    It would be great if you have Flash CS3 (it was saved using CS3). Anyway I have re-saved the file for Flash 8 and you can simply login and download again the package.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Thanks for your purchase and nice example.

    To set the title just open the .fla file in Flash, go to the menu Movie Clip and enable the showTitle parameter and adjust the titleYOffset parameter (you find these parameters at the bottom of Main Parameters area) to fit your movie.

    Hi, I've just bought the file... Is it possible that the first image in the XML list, appears when the .swf is loaded : I mean that by default the last image appears on the right, I would to invert the sequence, is it possible?

    Hi,

    The simplest way is to invert the image sequence is to invert the images data from the XML file.

    Is there a way to always show the images when the zoom menu first loads on a page? as you can see on my site: http://www.bacchuslatebar.co.uk/ , the images zoom right out of the screen when the page loads, so people don't see anything, bit confusing.
    All I have done to the current code is change the size of the zoom menu, and adjusted the size of the stage in flash 8, is there something I'm missing?
    Thanks in advance,
    Krip.

    Hi,

    Nice website. Regarding the images display you can try going to the Main Parameters area inside the menu Movie Clip and adjusting the marginsOffset parameter to a lower value.

    Or as a suggestion you can create a little test function that will check if the mouse was or not moved when the movie loads first time, then start the engine handler function only when the mouse was moved.

    I can not figure out why but when you click away from the flash either to the left or right of the movie the movie jumps from either the first or last image.

    Hi,

    Your mouse position reflects the camera current position. If you are with the mouse in the left end position of your Flash movie you'll see the most left end image and if you're with the mouse in the right end position of the Flash movie you'll see the most right end image. Based on this rule if you click away, then return with the mouse in your Flash movie you'll see the image corresponding to that camera position and you'll see the rest of the images scrolling quick on the right or on the left, depending on your mouse position,

    Nice example by the way, I have checked your web address and it works ok.

    I‘m creating a flash presentation, and this menu would be perfect for it. Can it be used to link to items within a flash time line, or is it for external images/urls only?

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the quick reply. This menu is awesome, but does it support PNG transparency?

    Also, I‘ve set showtitles to 1, but the titles I‘ve set in the config file still don‘t show up.

    Thanks for the help!

    Hi,

    Thanks for your feedback.

    The transparency works, but you need to disable the useBitmapSmoothing parameter (set it to zero).

    If titles don't show up here are some general tips regarding text:

    1. If you're using special characters, these unicode characters will work if you use the character itself and specify the XML configuration file as UTF-8 (unicode) format:

    Add the following line on top of the XML configuration file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>;

    Also make sure to embed the necessary character sets you need. To do so:

    a. Edit the title_text Movie Clip from the library and select the Text Field from the stage

    b. Click the Embed button from the Properties Panel of the Text Field and select the necessary character sets (you probably need Latin I or Latind Extended variation etc) depending on the language/characters used in your movie.

    Best regards,

    Thanks a ton for the support/feedback. I think I‘ve almost got this thing squared away.

    Last question (I hope).

    I‘m using the menu inside a project that is wider than the menu itself (menu mask is the size you built it at, project is 400px or so wider).

    When I hover over either the far right or far left menu items, they expand and move to the far edges of the scene. This causes a huge gap to appear, as well as some stuttering when hovering over the image.

    Is there any way to make the items move to a set amount, as opposed to moving along a curve?

    Thanks again.

    Hi,

    To adjust the margins gap try adjusting the value for the marginsOffset parameter and also the mouse speed tweenDecay (maybe lower). Everything else hope to be improved in the next version release.

    FT-


    Love the menu. I am also having the stuttering issue. You can see my implementation at www.melodyburgess.com.


    It seems the stuttering is most pronounced on the right and left ends of the menu. At those point the icons zoom more to the edge. Once the icon moves the mouse is no longer over it so flash gets confused. Is there a setting which will keep the zoom more centered?


    Thanx!!

    @melodius:


    Thank you for your purchase. Very nice implementation. The zoom is given by the camera perspective (so there is no particular parameter to keep the zoom more centered) but I see you have adjusted the images zoom effect a little bit and it’s nice to see someone adjusting the application this way. All the settings as you can see are in the Main Parameters area inside the .fla file and also inside the 3D Scene Movie Clip controlling the 3D environment. All you can do is to play with various values that you may consider necessary in no particular order till you get closer to what you expect to achieve. We will try to fix the stuttering on the next update.
