| A single level
menu in Macromedia Flash technology displaying items as tabs.
Very useful if you want to have a tabbed menu for your web
page without having to mess with images.
Setting Colors
In the Color tab, you can set the menu's colors such as the
item text and background colors and the mouse over text 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. NOTE! On this menu you can also enter targets for each
individual menu item.
Fonts
You can specify the text size (in pixels) and the font. This
applet supports FFT files. You can also set the text alignment,
maybe you prefer centered items?
Item Size and Space
The item size will set the size of the menu items. This parameter
is important so make sure you set it correctly depending on
the menu mode. You can also set the space between items.
Menu Mode
The menu mode will set your menu into vertical or horizontal
mode. Note that you must adjust the Item size parameter for
this to look well.
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.

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.
