This serves it’s purpose and the source fla was easy to edit. Even if you don’t have the ability to edit the fla, the author gives you so many controls within the xml that you would hardly need to. Five stars and worth the price!

Love the look of this, but before I buy I’ve got a few questions:

1. The specs say it opens in Flash 8, but the description says CS3 and CS4 only. Can it open in Flash 8?

2. I want to develop a slider like this – http://bit.ly/b4bUKU – so the text is “always there” and doesn’t transition-in. Just nice, simple content text in each pane. Can this slider do that?

3. I will be using this in a standalone offline projector app, using SWF Studio. Can you foresee any problems with that? Is it possible to edit the pane content in Flash, or does it have to be done with XML

Thanks!

1. The file was developed in Flash CS3, but one of the flas should have been saved for Flash 8. There shouldn’t be any problems (if it’s not up already it should be up shortly together with a couple of bug fixes).

2. It can’t do this “out of the box”. Although you can simulate this behavior by changing 5-6 lines of code (you need to change the tween duration to 0 and direction to “alpha” from the xml and call itemAnimationFinished at the same time with the addTween method). I can elaborate later if you need further help.

3. You can try to load the free version with swf studio and test it. Can’t really guess if there will be any problems.
You can edit the fla file, but if you want to modify the data displayed inside the menu, it’s easier using the xml (most of the movieclips are created dynamically in action script). For example, if you want to create a custom mask for the panes, you need to add it to the library and replace the mask creation code with an attachMovie call (in as2).

Best regards

Thanks for the response, I’ve tried the demo with SWF Studio and it loads it fine!

Instead of opening HTML links, I would need the image buttons to call a function in my main swf. Is this going to be possible? In the xml file you can only set a value for “link”, which I’m assuming only takes http links…

There are two ways to call certain functions on mouse hit.
You either replace the click code (easy to find – ctrl+f “getURL”) with your own code which calls certain functions depending, for example, on the name of the instance.
Or you can place the function calls in “link” and the argument in “target”, and replace the click code with eval calls. More to the point:
```
link = "trace";
target = "it works";
eval(link)(target);
```
is the same with
```
trace("it works");
```
Keep in mind that eval is not available in as3.
Best regards

Sorry, I forgot about asfunction. I don't know if this will help but here's an example showing how to call a method using asfunction:
```
function testFoo(foo: Object){
	trace(eval(foo));
}
var tmp:String = "it works";
getURL("asfunction:testFoo,tmp");
```
Basically you only need to edit the "link" field.
Hope it helps.

Fantastic thanks so much, that all makes sense, hopefully I can get it to work in the full version. One last quick question on licensing, with the Multiple Commercial License does that basically let me use this component on any future project I do? I produce multimedia CD / DVD-ROMs for my clients, and plan to use this as a really nice slick main menu. Also, my products are often duplicated and distributed in their thousands, mainly for training purposes Is this ok? What does it mean in the license where it says “You may not redistribute it”, I don’t understand that?

Hi,

You can get the Multiple Commercial License and use it for CD / DvD-ROMs multimedia presentations for training purposes. You may not re-sell copies of the product itself or as part of templates or other Flash products.

Hi. Thanks for nice component.
I am building a CodeIgniter site. In case you are not familiar with the system in the stanradr setup images and other such skin-related folders are in the root directory, whereas all the php files (controllers, models and views) are in root/../../folders . I am having troubles making component work.
I am pretty sure it’s all about the paths. Could you please help me figure this out?
Thank you.

I solved this problem. This was a .htaccess issue, not paths as I thought it was.
Thanks for the nice component again.

hi, greate work, i like it. got a question. is it possible when i load some text use a scrollbar when to much text inside the frame? hope you can help me thanks alot!

Hi,

Sorry, but you can’t do that without modifying the code.
Depending on what you want, you may need to attach an instance of the scroll bar to the mc_DescContainer movieclip, or the movieclips (named “mc_x” where x is the number of the box) inside it.

If you need more help, or need custom work please send me a private message.

Hi

I am doing a project which will not have any mouse control.. only keyboard cursor keys and enter keys.. how can i do it with this component? Other parts of the component are perfect..

Hi,

You can look for (ctrl+f) "showPrevItemBtn" in the action script code. The forth instance should lead you to the function used when you press the previous button. You can use that code as an inspiration for the function called when the user presses the left key.
Similar to this, look for "showNextItemBtn"to get the code for the right key function.
For the enter event you need to modify the main loop function (search for "CLICK HANDLING").
If you need further assistance you can pm me.

Hi,

I am planning on buying this however I have a question about the maximum resizing we are allowed. Can I make it larger than 400 x 600 px? As the demo only allows this I am worried I cannot make it larger...

thanks.

# / posted on Oct 04, 2010

Hi,

Yes, you can make it as larger than 400x600. To modify the size you need to edit the settings xml file (menuWidth, menuHeight) and the html file you use to import the swf (width and height of the flash object).

Best regards,

Hi,

I bought this a couple months ago, however am now having issues. I am trying to create an additional gallery for the same website (all in flash) However it refuses to work! I already have multiple versions working, so it doesn't make sense that no images are loading. whats also confusing is that I am only adjusting the linking as per my other versions.

Please help.

thanks
