... > Single Level Menus > BackgroundPictureMenu Help

This single level menu will put items on top of a background image, which will fade in when you move the mouse across an item. Thus resulting in a beauthiful effect! It supports many options such as logo images and top text.

The menu colors

You have three text colors in this menu. One is for the top text (above the menu items), one is for the menu items themselves and the third is used for the menu items when you move the mouse pointer over them. The page marker bar color will color the top rectangle in which the top text is located. You also have a background 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 here specify the text size for the menu items, the text size for the top text (in pixels) and the font file. This applet supports FFT files.

Top text settings

You can set the top text for the menu and it's scroll speed (with the Scroll Speed setting).

Specifying Images

You can specify a menu image for the applet. Parts of the image will fade in when you move the mouse pointer across an item. The fade delay setting will affect the background image fading speed. You can set a top image (logo image) and bottom image too, which will affect the position of the items. Note that this menu also supports a background image, which will override the background color. The top and bottom images will overwrite this background image, if set.

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 Anfy Flash documentation:
