This menu mimics the tool tip system of the Windows operating system. Setting Colors In the Color tab, you can set the menu's colors such as the item text and background colors, the description tool tip color and the mouse over text color. Adding menu items and URLs Enter each menu item and its corresponding URL, and descriptiontext into their respective text fields. Note that the descriptions are entered in the next tab. Make sure you have the same number of menu items as you have URLs and description texts. Note that you should not have big description text. See the section Entering Text Or Files for more information about entering menu items. Fonts You can specify the text size (in pixels) and the font for the menu items and for the description text. This applet supports FFT files. You can also set the text alignment, maybe you prefer centered items? Item Area Height and distance between menu items The item area height will set the height of the menu items. Use the distance between the menu items field to set the gap between each button. Limitations Due to a limitation in Flash Player 5.0, you can have a maximum of 200 menu items in the Flash applet. More than that, and the applet will not work. Other settings There are other settings that are discussed on the following topics from the Advanced Effect Maker documentation:
Entering Text Or Files
Working With Text Fields
The Flash Applet Size Parameters
URL Links and Frame Targets
Working With File Fields And
File Lists
Working With Color Buttons

Version history
1.1 : Added support for the ActionScript LoadMovie()
command, which means that the effect can now be inserted
into Macromedia Flash FLA projects. You can now load other
.swf files or disable the links by entering empty links.
