This multilevel menu uses color mixing along with alpha shading, perspective distortion and XY movement to provide different 3D circular effects. The Background color The background color will be used as the background for the effect if no background image supplied. Otherwise background color will be used as the background only during preloading of applet. The Timing Effect cycled, so menu will make full circle of movement in defined amount of frames. Perspective distortion and color mixing cycled as well. The Text Three colors provided for text - initial, final and rollover. When text appears it displayed in initial color. Initial color gradually changed to final color as effect goes on and at the end of effect text displayed in final color. Radius values and Alpha shading Specified amount of shades will be displayed with different alpha transparency (Alpha From/To values) around original text. Offset from original position determined by X and Y radius. Both radius values dynamically changed with timer, providing cicrcular movement in given direction. So if X radius greater than zero, shades will move from right to left and back; if Y radius greater than zero, shades will move from top to bottom and back. This way its possible to set different vertical, horizontal or circular movements for effect. Size Distortion Size of menu item shades will be changed by defined percent value. So if x and y movement set to zero and distortion set to 10, shades will be changed in size and position from -10% to +10% comparing with original position. Such change creates kinda Z-movement and menu items zoomed in and out. Other settings There are other settings that are discussed on the following topics from the Advanced Effect Maker documentation: Aleksey Udovydchenko
