| This
menu will fade and scroll in your menu items at the same time,
thus giving a catchy initial animation for the menu. You can
display your menu items vertically or horizontally.
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.
The
menu colors
You can
set a varierity of colors in this menu. This menu works in
two ways, you can either have a background image for all the
menu items, or you can have just text items. The highlight
color will be used for the mouse over effects.
Horizontal
or Vertical placement of the menu items
This setting
is important, it lets you display the menu items on a single
line (horizontal mode) or on a column (vertical mode). Make
sure you set the displacement parameters correctly.
Displacement,
Item size and Animation speed
The vertical
and horizontal displacements are used to displace the items
from the top and left sides respectively, this is measured
in pixels. The horizontal displacement should be larger than
the item width if you are using the horizontal menu item placement
mode. The vertical displacement must be larger than the menu
item height if you have unselected the horizontal mode. The
menu item width and height are the dimensions of the menu
items in pixels.
The animation speed will set the speed scrolling effect and
the mouse over effect. Values between 2-10 are recommended.
Background
Images
You can
specify a menu item background image for the applet. Specifying
a background image will override the background color.
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:

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.
