I’m done. Not much, mainly actionscripted, and bugged as hell 😛

[swf=“[http://membres.lycos.fr/museebranly/menuBattle2.swf](http://membres.lycos.fr/museebranly/menuBattle2.swf)”][/swf]

It looks very small on my comp, no idea why. Here it is again:

Concerning the time extension, I agree to give you one or 2 days more, but that’s all. It’s still a battle 🙂

If you import the Arial font in your library, you’ll get my menu with this code (piggy style, sorry :beam: ) :

```auto
sections=["me","portfolio","works","contact"];
subSections=[["Myself","and I"],["First","Second","Third"],["smth","else","than","this"],["mail","address","fax"]];

k = .2;
damp = .9;

function fadeOut (cli){
	this._alpha /= 2;
	if (this._alpha < 2) this.removeMovieClip();
}
MovieClip.prototype.springTo = function (){
	var dx = this.targ_x - this._x ;
	var dy = this.targ_y - this._y ;
	this.vx += k*dx ;
	this.vy += k*dy ;
	this.vx *= damp ;
	this.vy *= damp ;
	this._x += this.vx ;
	this._y += this.vy ;
}

function createButton(clip,texte,size,dep){
	var cl = clip.createEmptyMovieClip("but"+dep,dep);
	cl.createTextField("section",0,0,0,80,20);
	var tf = new TextFormat();
	tf.font = "Arial";
	tf.size = size;
	tf.selectable = false;
	tf.color = "0xff0000";
	cl.section.text = texte;
	cl.section.embedFonts = true;
	cl.section.setTextFormat(tf);
	var c = cl.createEmptyMovieClip("but",1);
	c.beginFill(0,0);
	c.lineTo(cl.section.textWidth,0);
	c.lineTo(cl.section.textWidth,cl.section.textHeight);
	c.lineTo(0,cl.section.textHeight);
	c.endFill();
	c.ind = dep;
	c.onPress = function(){
		a = subClip.length;
		if (a > 0)
			for (f in subClip) subClip[f].onEnterFrame = fadeOut;
		var q = subSections[this.ind].length;
		var radius = 75;
		subClip = [];
		for (var p = 0; p<q ; p++){
			var b = createButton (this._parent,subSections[this.ind][p],15,p+10);
			var ang = 2 * Math.PI * p / q ;
			b.targ_x = this._parent._width/4 + radius * Math.cos(ang) ;
			b.targ_y = radius * Math.sin(ang) ;
			container.targ_x = Stage.width/2 - this._parent._x;
			container.targ_y = Stage.height/2 - this._parent._y;
			subClip.push(b);
		}
	}
	cl.onEnterFrame = springTo;
	return cl;
}

this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",0);
container._x = Stage.width/2;
container._y = Stage.height/2;
n = sections.length;
radius = 100;
for (var p = 0; p<n ; p++){
	var b = createButton (container,sections[p],20,p);
	var ang = 2 * Math.PI * p / n ;
	b.targ_x = radius * Math.cos(ang) ;
	b.targ_y = radius * Math.sin(ang) ;
}

container.targ_x = Stage.width/2 ;
container.targ_y = Stage.height/2 ;
container.onEnterFrame = springTo ;
