Quick Menu XML is a useful web menu that is made to be used as navigation system for your web site.
The menu doesn't require macromedia flash program; it only requires the Flash Player that is installed on over 98% of the
computers.
Place the swf file in your web page, drag and drop in Dreamweaver or copy / paste from the provided html page the tags
needed to display a swf flash file; this is a simple procedure. The only files you need online are menu.swf and menu.xml. Fla
source file will also be included; Edit the XML file with a text editor like notepad form windows; Change the values between the
quotes to change menu color, text, URL to open and other options. You can add / remove XML lines to add or remove buttons
and sub buttons in the menu.
In addition to opening web pages menu can also be used to trigger flash specific actions like gotoAndStop, gotoAndPlay,
fscommand, loadMovie, getURL, it can also trigger a function which means that the actions it can trigger are unlimited.
