Of course...
Attached is a project that mimics those menus.

Also, check the samples section for more complex samples:

And creating this menu would be out of the question correct?

That's been done.  I think it's mentioned in the "I dare you" thread in "Boiling Room", or in the samples on the main XFX site.

Do you have a link Hywel?

Not at hand, but there are 10 pages in the "I dare you" thread just waiting for you to read through.  :p

Sure... ya.. I get the joke.. But I can do it via flash though with a flash decompiler... smile.gif

Hy guys,
I am Adrian, the developer of Micro Menu at:
http://www.adriantnt.com/products/micro_menu/
I wanted to tell you that you should not use decompilers on my menus since the source is protected by copyright.
I suggest you use the free menus on the site and if you plan to develop your own menus I can offer my support  smile.gif

-Adrian.
Hywel
Adrian - grey area, surely.  At which point does what I produce with a piece of software become mine?
adrianTNT
That software being a decompiler? Or macromedia FlashMX?

I guess it`s all yours when you made it all from zero, the menu I made was made from zero even if it looks a lot like the one on macromedia.com smile.gif

Using all those decompilers will get us nowhere, me for example I will not spend weeks developing for others to steal in minutes.  Sure is simple for  a ripper to go to a site and stelal things but if this procedures are expanding they will not have anything to steal after developers will stop making new staff.

I have few more menus to add on my webpage but i will hold them down untill I find a solution to stop people stealing staff.
Hywel
I just looked at your site.  I use Mozilla without the Flash player installed.  Am I right in thinking you wrote the software (in this case a Flash movie) that loads a menu from an XML file, rather than software that will generate the code, as DMB does?  If this is the case, I agree with your original post - my misunderstanding.
adrianTNT
I am not sure I understand what you are saying beacuse i don`t know what "DMB" does, the menu is made in flash and loads it`s configuration from an XML file, this XML is not generated by some soft or something, it comes with the menu and has to be manualy edited with a text editor.

What is "DMB" ? it generates XML files ?

.
Hywel
DMB - DHTML Menu Builder.  It's the software that this thread is talking about (http://software.xfx.net/).

DMB generates a load of JavaScript that builds the menu.  The Developers' Edition can be combined with a server-side scripting language and a data store (SQL, MySQL, plain text, XML, and so on) to build the menu at run time.
xfx
I'd say they look identical to those at Macromedia web site...
In any case, answering iampedro's question:
Here's the link to the menus created with DHTML Menu Builder that mimic the menus at Macromedia's (and adrianTNT's) web site:
http://software.xfx.net/utiliti....mm2

And to keep things clear, the menus at the link above were created, from scratch, using DHTML Menu Builder. No need for decompilers wink.gif
adrianTNT
Yes the menus look good and even has some features I didn`t inclued in my menu.
I like the old menu macromedia used too, the 2 colors combination looks good.

Adrian.
xfx
I agree. The old ones looked a lot better.

I have taken a look at your web site and I can see that you're very good at graphics design. Did you do all those buttons?
Perhaps we could do some "business"...
I would like to create several samples (with DHTML Menu Builder) that use flash-based animated buttons and backgrounds.

Let me explain:
DHTML Menu Builder supports having multiple images placed at different sections of the menus to create truly complex menu systems.
But, what most people don't know is that you can use Flash animations instead of images... which could considerably improve the look of a menu.
Imagine having a menu where the background is a sky with moving clouds? Or menu items that roll (like a dice) when you select them... that would be very cool.

Would you like to provide such animations?
If you like the idea, please, let me know how much would this cost me and what would be the licensing terms for our customers to use your animations.
adrianTNT
Hello,

Yes, the graphics on my site are made by me.
Yes, I like the ideea, we should talk more about this.
Can you please contact me at by email at adriantnt#adriantnt.com ?
I will also try to find some contact information around here.

-Adrian.
adrianTNT
I could not find a direct contact method ont his page, can you please contact me ?
