   Is there a way to make it so the fash file opens on a fixed position. It's scrolling all the way to end and is distracting for the rest of the webpage. Thanks!

   I just re-uploaded an improved version which adds the following:
   - smoothed images movement
   - text description
   - images preloaders
   
   This version also fixes the issue of loading in a fixed position.

   Is this a component or class? Do you provide the source code?

   This is a FLA file (opens in Flash) which includes all the Actionscript code and assets that makes the menu work. Within the FLA file you can change all the properties of the menu. In the XML file provided you can specify the images, text description for each image and target urls for clicking them.

   What version of Actionscript did you use to code this?

   Vdiaz, is AS 2.0
   Manyhavetried, if you want to load images in a movieclip on the stage, you could use loadMovie() instead of getURL() method for onPress event.

    Hi Snowcat,
    
    I am really interested in this dock menu. However my main aim would be to use it in conjunction with slideshowpro (http://www.slideshowpro.net) - I would only be doing this if I can load items to the dock menu via array's loaded when ssp has loaded the xml for display - I realize that I would have to tweak some code to get this to happen, but you may know that it is not possible.
    
    thanks - Fruits

    Hi Fruits,
    
    I don't know how slideshowpro works but I'm sure it can be tweaked. I'm sorry I can't help you with more details right now.
    
    Thanks,

    Hi, I bought the menu, but I have a problem with it. I want to use bigger images, so I changed their sizes, but now although I have
    
    mirrorDistance=0; //the spacing between the thumbs and their reflection
    
    the distance between the mirror and the images is more than 100 pixels and the mirror effect looks strange (smaller). Can you help ? I also don't know how to determine this value
    dockHeight = 350;
    
    Regards
    Silvia

    Hi Snowcat, this component is super. I'm using the vertical format and am wondering... is it possible to have the text description appear with the vertical scheme? Either next to or above the images?

    Great menu. I just purchased this. It works great, except I need to use images of various sizes. Any suggestions?

    Hello, decaye: you can modify the info text position by editing the descriptionY variable and the animation by editing the "description" symbol from the Library. Silvia: in order to have a proper mirror effect, "inner" and "item" symbols from the library must have the same width and height as the actual images' width and height. See the ScreenShot.jpg in the package. trixits: I've uploaded a new dockmenu.fla file with your requested option. Simply edit descriptionY and descriptionX variables for a proper info text positioning.(just re-download the commercial archive) Elementeleven: The code needs some adjustments to be able to use different image sizes. I'm planning to add this option but I can't give you a deadline for this. hvejsel: To change the size of the images you have to edit these variables (you can find them in the first frame of the dockmenu_container symbol from the Library): minThumbW = 45; //onRollOut thumbs sizes (width minThumbH = 45; //and height) // the minThumbW/minThumbH ratio should be equal to width/height ratio of the // images you are indicating through the XML file maxThumbW = 100; //onRollOver size of the thumbs maxThumbH is automatically calculated Thanks, Snowcat

    Hi, Snowcat. First of all let me say that you've done a great job. I purchased it and overall looks great. I am having a slight problem though; After it loads the images I specify in the xml file, images' backgrounds look grayish eventhough they have solid white backgrounds. They are not transparent though, but originally all have white backgrounds.
    
    What would be the problem? Is there a fix to that? Or is it by design?

    After further investigation; It looks as if there is an effect that is causing the grayish backgrounds. The effect is to highlight the image that has the cursor on. To be able to that, it adds a light gray color filter on all images that does not have the cursor on. And I think this is the default setting. I am a Flash newbie. But is there a way to turn that effect off and if yes, what is the easiest way to do it?
    
    Thank you.

    Hi yazicim,
    
    If I'm guessing right... your problem would be fixed if you'd set the inColor and outColor variables to 0. Or maybe just outColor = 0;
    
    Tell me if this helps.

    I have just purchased the Dock menu and I am waiting for money to clear before I am able to download it. I was wondering how easy it would be to use a different XML doc?
    The XML I would need to use would contain image ID number that I would then feed into a URL to download the images into the Dock Menu?
    
    Many thanks

    Snowcat, Nice scripts. We purchased the special Package and are implementing the commercial dock menu as a Nav bar. See: http://www.knupp-watson.com/fact/dev/fight.php Two problems: 1. If you repeatedly click the nar bar to link to different pages, the mirrored images randomly disappear on page reload. We need the mirrors to be there the whole time. 2. The whole dock menu is a little jumpy on first rollover. When you mouseover the first time it kind-of jumps to the side before centering under the mouse icon. Thanks for your help. xnix

    hi, I am looking for the same black background effect as the "demo 2" on this page. I changed the flash file to call in the "icons.xml" file, and for some reason the transparent background in the pngs is showing up white in firefox /os x? Thanks for your reply and time.

    Hello snowcat,
    
    I have purchased the Dock Menu and I very happy with the way it works. I am trying to include more functionality by being able to navigate through different XML files.
    
    Can you tell me if there is a way to clear all the items in the Dock menu and then load in the contents of a new XML file?
    
    Many thanks

    mediagrin: I send you a private message with a hint on how to load different XML files on specific events.
    
    xnix: 1. i fixed the bug; you have to re-download the commercial archive from the Downloads tab of the product
    2. you could try to publish a larger swf (with a bigger width I mean) while keeping everything else the same
    
    mojotown: when using PNG's set the loadSmoothed variable to false

    Is it possible to handle a onclick even instead a URL? I use some js on my site and i want to use a onclick event handler instead a url.
    
    -> Is it possible to combine both using URL and onclick handler?
    
    Is it possible to do the zoom from the bottom line and not centered? This means, the bottom line is fixed and the images will hold this line through zooming?

    riesengros: Actually, the getURL() method is inside the onPress event, so you can put any kind of code to this event.
    Yes, combining is possible.
    You mean the zoom like in demo2? Yes, zooming is possible in any vertical direction (from top to bottom, from bottom to top, in the middle)
