This version is far far less feature complete than the ActionScript 3 version. This version was a “proof” of concept if you like of how I would approach making an Accordion Menu, which I then used as conceptual direction when making the ActionScript 3 version.

Nevertheless, it is an XML Accordion, but does not support function calls from the XML file. It is also not class based, and instead relies on two fairly simple sections of timeline actionScript to generate its functionality. The two .fla files have good comments and directions on what to edit to make changes to the ActionScript.

If there is demand, I can finish this menu to the level of the ActionScript 3 version.

Dependencies
The menu uses Tweener. Its an old file, that I have not update to tweenLite.

This file started life as a comparison to an ActionScript 3 implementation of the same idea. The ActionScript 3 version is more elegant and is slightly more flexible.

Gallery Features;

• Horizontal or Vertical Scrolling Thumbs track
• External XML Images
• Load Progress Handling
• Ability to load in different XML files

The source file contains two files, one file has a horizontal image scrolling track, while the other has a vertical images scrolling track.

File uses TweenLite, for image fading in and out.
Flash 8 or Flash CS3

Basically images are loaded sequentially from an XML file into a movieClip, which is dynamically masked and then tweened. The gallery has support for text descriptions and also creates a dynamic image numbers navigation system which updates itself based off how many images you happen to load in. All text is CSS styled.

Contained in the .zip file are a Flash CS3 and Flash 8 source file, XML files, sample images, the tweenFilterLite class and the font used in the project.

Updates
09 June, 2008. File now supports multiple XML files

I extended this as an exercise when helping out a poster on the?Ǭ†Kirupa.com?Ǭ†forums. I’ve added in support for a dropShadow beneath the tooltip. Support for different amounts of text ( the toolTip is still single lined, but it expands depending on text amount). And support for detecting the edge of the stage, so that the toolTip will flip horizontally if it would end up being displayed off the right hand edge of the stage, thus becoming unusable.
