BUBBLE MENU

HomeBrowse CategoriesFlashMenus & ButtonsHorizontal MenusBubble Menu

This is a flash menu that uses a series of bubbles that orbit on user input. When the user clicks a button, a separate page is loaded into the target specified in the configuration. For this example, it is set to "_self" so it will load within the same window.

Features:

  • XML -Driven. Numerous configuration options are controlled through an external XML file.
  • Can loads external images into the bubbles.

Included:

  • Source FLA and SWF Files
  • Help File (HTML and PDF )
  • XML Configuration File (Default)

interesting take on a landmark tutorial (thanks Lee…;), i like the possibilty of changing the y-radius with the + and – buttons

I actually have never seen any tutorial on making a menu like this and it was constructed mostly on a desire to understand image masking. (It started with creating a bubble that held an image and moved on from there…;) Who is Lee? The + and – buttons are just event hooks to an exposed yScale off the class, the xScale and size of the bubbles, glow, number of bubbles, text size, links, etc. are adjustable as well, they just aren’t exposed in this example.

nice…bt you should add some smoothness

benny_dh: Sorry, could you clarify “some smoothness”? I had considered tamping the motion control to smooth the mouse input… but then I also considered that the reflections might be served with a blur to cut the small amount of aliasing. Maybe I will just do both.

can it load swf

Posted 4 months ago

Yes. I just double-checked and tested that it does indeed load and animate SWFs. You just specify a .swf file in the XML configuration file rather than an image file.

thx for answer but i need thats in as2 can you it ??

Posted 4 months ago

Sorry, but no. The construction uses several AS3 specific paradigms (DisplayList, Document Class, etc.) that just aren’t available (cleanly) in the previous version. We drew the line at AS3 and won’t be stepping back over it.

Can it be set to rotate at a fixed angle as well as auto rotated without the activation of the mouse? I really want to buy this but need to use it in this settings.

I just responded to your question from artitron@gmail.com. I think the answer is yes to both of your questions. There might be a few code changes that need to happen to get it to ignore the mouse, but it shouldn’t be too complicated.
