Hey Guys!

Well this time I created a relative simple but really smooth workin elastic button menu:

- It generated from a XML file so you can change it by just changing the xml.

- If you want to change the graphics, Elastic movement, motion effect, Just open the fla and you will see that I commentend almost every line so you can really learn from it and adjust it exactly to your preferences.

- Right now the onRelease function on the elasic buttons triggers an event inside flash which makes the elastic content bounce in, but if you want to load an external page, just remove some comment marks ( /* ) and it will automatcly go to the url you inserted in the xml file.

I randomly placed the mouse (first shot) and I believe the button sizes are different in movieclips or timeframe where On (rollout) and On (rollover) are confronting each other and creating a bad timeframe loop small fix but I think if anyone is paying for a file they shouldint have glitches like that.

Has anyone figured out how to add images to this menu? there is image=”” within the XML – but have no idea how to get this to work.

I don’t think this file is very well commented at all. I have no idea why the XML file contains image=”“ and the flash file does not refer to images at all. I would expect there to be something in the code to allow you to load images from the XML file.

I’ve managed to change the textbox saying ‘the event to open…’ to a dynamic text box and included some ‘info’ in the XML for each button so that when you click on each button different text can appear within the box that fills the screen.

But I can’t figure out how to get an image to be displayed on the buttons. I have emailed the developer but have not had a reply – he’s maybe given up on this project as he released so many months ago.

also the url aspect does not work – by uncommenting the following:

getURL(this._href, “_self”;);

and adding a url to the XML file within href=”” when you click on the text you get no link – the box just closes as normal and takes you back to the button menu. I would expect that you get taken to your desired link, but also get the option to click on the ‘close’ text to close the box and return to the button menu.

Not very good to find this out after you’ve already purchased the file.

I was testing locally and the link did not work, but once I uploaded the file to a test server the link did work, but not in the way I expected. When you click on a button you want the large orange box to fill the screen and give further information – then if you click on this I would want the href link to be active and take you to another page. Instead what happens is that you click on the button and just as the large orange box is appearing you get taken to your href link. What is the point in that?

Is it possible to separate the two? so you click on the button the large orange box appears and then when you click on that text you get taken to your link?

I would also want the ‘click to close’ link to function as well so people could go back to the main menu and select another option.

Hello,

Great file and almost got all working but just cannot figure out why my images are not showing up…

1. Can you have both ‘naam’ & ‘image’?

2. What is the string structure supposed to be – i’ve been using: image=”csx.jpg” image=”/csx.jpg” image=”../csx.jpg” But none are working…??

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanx…

:D the amount of times I’ve seen this file and thought it was great. I never clicked on it, the clicks make the file 1000 times better!

Is there anyone who opened this file under Flash MX (Flash 6) ?

Has anyone been able to use images in place of the boxes? The so-called super helpful comments really are not that helpful. I am hoping to use images in place of the boxes, but all the comments appear to be ignored by the creator of this. Would love some help.

Hi,

Very nice.

Can I use each of these buttons in my main movie to load external swfs in an empty movie clip in my main movie?

I want to use an action like this on each of the buttons:

on (release) { if (_root.currMovie == undefined) { _root.currMovie = “home”; container.loadMovie(“home.swf”;); } else if (_root.currMovie != “home”;) { if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) { _root.currMovie = “home”; container.play(); } } }

Will it work in this manner? Thanks…

Does anyone know if you can use these as buttons to go to a certain frame in your fla? I can not figure out how. I don’t want to get a URL or Image, I just need to gotoAndPlay a differnt frame!!
