| This stylish menu enlarge your
menu items when moving the mouse pointer across the screen.
The items then go to their original size after the mouse movement
with a "bouncing" motion.
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. Note that this menu supports JUST ONE LEVEL!
This means that you can't have child items, only top-level
items.
The menu colors
You can set the menu item colors and the background color.
Font
You can set the font and the font size.
Background Images
You can specify a background image for the applet. You can
have it scaled or not.
Speed, Break, Bounce and Acceleration factors
With these settings you can customize the menu behaviour.
The speed setting will set the speed of the menu items. The
break setting will halt the menu when you move out of the
applet area. The acceleration factor is used for the reaction
of enlargement of the menu items. And last, the bounce factor
will let your menu items "bounce" when you leave
them with your mouse pointer, value should be fractional between
1-2.
Movement sensitivity and Item spacing
The y-sensitivity setting is for setting an area in the center
(in pixels) in which the menu items will not move. So when
the mouse pointer rest in this area, the menu items are still.
The item spacing is the displacement of each item (in pixels).
That is, the working space between each item.
Limitations
Due to a bug 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.

Version history
1.1 : Added support for the ActionScript LoadMovie() command,
which means that the effect can now be inserted into Macromedia
Flash FLA projects. You can now load other .swf files or disable
the links by entering empty links.
