Turn around your menu items using this 3D menu.
It supports background images for both the applet and the
menu items and you can display your menu items vertically
or horizontally.
Adding menu items and URLs
Enter each menu item and its corresponding back side item
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 variety 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 customize the existing menu item
background which is built into the menu. The item background
and border colors will be overridden if you specify a menu
item background image. The item text and highlight colors
are used for the two modes. You can set the colors for both
the back and front side of the menu items.
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 Rotation speed
The vertical and horizontal displacement 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 deselected the
horizontal mode. The menu item width and height are the dimensions
of the menu items in pixels.
The rotation speed will set the speed for the turnaround effect.
Values between 2-10 are recommended.
Background Images
You can specify a menu item background image for both the
front and back of the menu items and a background image for
the applet. These settings will override the background colors
that you may specify.
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.
