The Snake Menu V2 (XML)
A unique menu with dynamic, pixel-perfect buttons, which are all dynamically scaled and positioned in relation to the mouse position to produce a unique animation among the buttons. This animation is entirely controlled by ActionScript. This is a thumbnail menu for galleries or even a gallery in itself if you plug in images big enough. Thumbnail images can be any size you would like! But it works and looks much better if they are all the same height, and looks best if they are all the same size in width and height. All the buyer has to do is fill in the XML . There are also other things the buyer can change.
This is the same menu as The Snake Menu – but this new updated version has tooltips added.
AS3 .
All code is commented and step by step instructions included.

How do you think this thing would do if I used it to load swfs? Can it handle 5-10 , 200×400 pixel, swf animations? Or maybe 10-15 @ 350×500 ?

Jamison: it is possible and supported to load in swfs, but swfs can be tricky. I will give no guarantee for it to work perfectly, because I made it for thumbnails, but I think it would work and if you’d have any problems, I would help you out. It will also look kinda of blocky because of the big sizes of your swfs…

Can the orientation of the menu be changed, e.g. left/right (vertical), or top/bottom (horizontal). I’d like to move the menu to whichever side is best for a given screen ratio. Thanks.

No problem Mott. 
rexxy003, no, it’s AS3 , sorry.
duneglow, thanks a lot, but to do what you want, add images in manually, you would have to change some AS3 code, and pasting in 50 paths would take a long time – it’s up to you!
funkybudda, no, it’s not continuous and it would take at least some working knowledge of AS3 to do that.
tgg03, no, only the bottom side is supported, sorry.
maurypb, thank you again! 
basezero, the XML is not set up to link out to sites, but you could set this up, definitely. however, i advise for you to have at least some working knowledge of AS3 before attempting this.

Bought this menu and want to use it as navigation. It has no links included in the file. I was hoping to just change the links in XML to get working .What do I need to go to get it working?
Posted 10 days ago
It is set up as the following:
if (event.target.depth 0) { // if the first (button 0) button is clicked.. // place your actions here } if (event.target.depth 1) { // if the second (button 1) button is clicked.. // place your actions here }
If you want to add a link out on click, change it to the following code:
var req:URLRequest;
if (event.target.depth == 0) {
req = new URLRequest(“http://flashden.net”
;
navigateToURL(req, “_self”
;
}
and so on.. thanks. I might update this to fit within the XML …

Im sure you would save yourself a bunch of grief if you update this file to be a real xml menu that can be modified in xml. I only bought it because thats what it claims….But its not and has been a real pain. Im very disappointed I purchased and still have to recode to use it…..Real Drag…
