Flash Speaks Actionscript

Check out Flash Framer’s new Flash Component called magneticMenu.  The magneticMenu Flash component displays icons, images, or flash files in a magnetic like menu. When a user mouses over an icon the icon is attracted to the mouse pointer much like a real magnet.

This new Flash component also supports both a horizontal or vertical mode. One other great feature is the ability to apply the menu’s settings right through the component inspector within Flash.

Key Features Provided by magneticMenu:

This tutorial by Flash Farmer covers how to create a dynamic Flash XML navigation menu using Actionscript 2.0 and XML. Each button has a roll over and roll out animation. Control the clickthroughs, button titles and the total number of buttons with the external XML file. Once the Flash file is created you can update the menu just by editing the XML file.
