New Flash Horizontal Menu

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

I have another file for sale on ActiveDen and it’s called Flash Horizontal Menu. This flash horizontal menu is great for any site or flash project. It is written in AS3 (Actionscript 3.0) and can be used as the navigation on any website and is super easy to use and setup. This menu supports loading swfs, going to frame labels, frame numbers, external links, and calling functions. If you want to use it in your flash file just drag and drop it. If you don’t know Flash and you are linking to several web pages, use the provided swf and XML file and you don’t even have to open up Flash. Some of the special features are that its customizable by XML, you can easily change the width and height, and a special javascript function handles the resizing in the browser. There is no need to even open the flash file, unless you want to use it in another Flash project then its just drag and drop, easily change the initial font color and the hover font color, easily change the font size and font type, easily change the space between items and navigation padding on the left to easily center it, it handles most html tags for even more customization, and you can add as many items to the menu as you want.Click the image above to view the flash in action.

Mini RocPod – XML Flash Music MP3 Player

Friday, February 19th, 2010

I have another file for sale on ActiveDen, its called Mini RocPod – XML Flash Music MP3 Player. Some of the special features of this flash mp3 player is that it is fully XML driven, it streams the mp3s, you can add unlimited amount of songs, it has auto start feature, you can auto hide the panels on start up or show them on start up, it can be easily added to actionscript3 files by just dragging and dropping. you can easily change the color of the music player through the xml, it displays album art, and it has 7 different background skins or art to choose from. I used a lot of the same functionality as my first flash music player I creatd, the RocPod – Flash and XML MP3 Player, but I wanted something that was a little more standard so I took out the circular scroll wheel volume controller and the ipod style menu. I still wanted to mix it up a bit so I added 7 different background arts and the hide-able panels and appropriate settings in the xml for them. In the end I was really happy with the design.

Pulsing Circular Preloader

Monday, January 18th, 2010

I have created another preloader and had it approved for sale on ActiveDen. It is a Pulsing Circular preloader, and its has a few really nice features I worked on. For one its really easy to use, all you have to do is just drag and drop the preloader movieclip to your flash file, its really easy to customize and change the colors, also there is a variable in the actionscript that you can changes the amount of time its displayed for and how many times it circles before showing the loaded content. Also, I made it so this moveclip is centered on the stage vertically and horizontally at all times, even if the browser window is resized. Click the image below to view its animation.
