  Applet Menu
  HorizontalSlideMenu - Tree with several sub item levels

This space saving multi level menu lets you display your menu items one on top of the other.

The Background color

The background color will be applied if the "Solid background" option is checked. Otherwise the applet will be displayed with specified background color in stand-alone mode and with transparent background when loaded to other movie.

Adding menu items and URLs

It is very important that you read the section Working With Tree Fields in the VAC manual. This section tells you how to include the menu items and how to use the tree field.

Item Colors and Images

Item consist from text, optional image under it, and rectangular button which serves as basement for both of em. Text and button will change color from inactive to active on rollover. Images are customizable and first image will be displayed for first main item and all its subitems, same goes to second, third, etc... Its possible to define image transparency, so button will be still visible under image and yet make lit-like effect combined with it.

Menu

This is multilevel menu, so submenus will be displayed as long as there is space provided for it. X-item and Y-item variables will determine how much items (maximum) might be displayed at axis. Item positioning made based on applet dimensions and XY item variables, so items placed in proportional way. By defining custom button width and height its possible to provide a space between items, so if applet width, lets say, 400 px and 4 items max supposed to be shown at X axis, then with 90 px button width there will be 10 px gap between items.

Animation

After selecting item with submenu all subitems will be displayed with defined animation style. After end of animation subitems will be available for further selection. Time of animation specified by Duration variable.

loadMovie compatible

This movie can be loaded to any other clip or sub-clip with all functionality kept intact. Also it might use loadMovie compatible SWFs as well. Just make a list of clip names in "Clip names" box of "Movies" section providing valid URLs as names. Type coordinates for each clip in "XY" box next to box with names. Separate XY coordinates with a ",". So for each "name.swf" you should provide "X,Y" placement. Specified clips will be positioned and loaded by applet.

SWF items

Items with no ".swf" substring in URL will be served as usual - opened in specified browser window. Items with ".swf" inside of URL will be served in special way and opened in defined position within menu movie area. Default content item (swf movie) can be specified to be loaded at menu startup.

There are other settings that are discussed on the following topics from the Advanced Effect Maker documentation:
