This powerful one level menu has three different effects.

Setting Colors

In the Color tab, you can set the menu's colors such as the item text and background colors, the effect color (the animated bar) and the mouse over text color.

Adding menu items and URLs

Enter each menu item and its corresponding URL into their respective text field. Make sure you have the same number of menu items as you have URLs. 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. This applet supports FFT files. You can also set the text alignment, maybe you prefer centered items?

Item Area Width

The item area width will set the width of the menu items. Use a width that allows the text of the largest menu item to fit.

Fade effect

This applet supports three cool mouse over item effects, try them out to choose your favourite!

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.
