Flash Source | XML tweened menu

Yet another menu with a cool rollover effect.
This menu:
* of course is XML driven, you can add buttons by adding them in the XML file.
* automatically centers on stage
* automatically takes up the full width of the stage
* can load URL’s and SWF’s (the example does URL’s)

Extra:
* You can add a 50×50px icon for the roll over effect. These icons are loaded by adding them in the XML file.
* You can also give the text of the menu a different colour by stating the colour code in the XML file. You can even give each menu item a different colour if you want.
* Of course the URL’s for each button are also loaded from the XML file.
* All the tweening in this menu is done via AS, not via timeline

If you want to use this menu in your project, just copy the menu movieclip to your library. All the other mc’s will automatically be copied to your library as well

All the actionscript is written in seperate layers and every line of code is commented, so it’s very easy to understand too.

You can place this menu in your movie in 2 ways:
* Just drag the menu mc to your stage, align it to the absolute left of the stage and place it at the height you want it to be.
* Or you can add it via actionscript, which I have done in this file. So you have a good example of how to do this.

I added to design examples, but the menu is made out of mc’s, so fairly easy to change.

Hope you like it!
