Flash menu builder

talk design
1

Hello 2 all

I am working on flash menu builder: [URL=“http://1flashmenu.com”]http://1flashmenu.com
Please tell me is it OK? (I mean idea, realisation, usability) Because I programm it almost 1 year, and if it su&^ks I wll kill myself :*(

Maybe you can advise something

I’ve upgrade online builder - add accordion menu and vertical drop down.

PLZ tell me WHY?! Why nobody use it? It’s really cool, fun and usable online tool. :m:

P.S. In fact I send my menu for free, with no logo, but it’s ts-s-s-s secret :slight_smile:

^Its well completely useless. Plus i doubt many even have the knowledge to place one of these in their site as flash over content fails to work unless the person embedding knows what they are doing.

Also the exact same thing can be done with CSS and HTML, people are starting to learn there is a time and place for flash and its not for navigation.

Maybe if you made it output an HTML CSS menu people would like it more?

Flash more flexible and powerfull if you wish to create some “nice looking” website.
And CSS … I don’t know. Maybe it’s more fashionable now?

First thing if someone knows flash they are going to customize the menu for their site and probably code it themselves.

If you made a CSS generator for one it might be more useful. Then all you have to generate is a exmaple html file a css file and a sprite image (you know put all your images into once sprite sheet for the menu).

Really thanks for all that information and your opinion.
I’ll be study CSS (Now I’m full fool in creation website navigation with CSS :jail: )

There’s some times I can see flash/css - mania/fobia (not to you guys, but from my friends and from my … clients!)
But it’s just some tool to build your site.
Peace :slight_smile:

P.S. Have I wrote that CSS sux and FLASH forever?! :wink:

Now I want to try to sell my menus.
If people don’t need it for free, I hope they will buy it :expressionless:

When I’ll begin sell it - I’ll post here how many menus I’ll sell for the first month.

Now I undertand, that parameters and functionality of software is 30-40 percent of success.
Another 100 percent (you’re right, 40+100=140 percent, that’s anough to be the best ) it’s documentation+visualisation of all of your product features.
For example you can use _self, _parent etc for the link.
It’s target=" " parameter:
target="_blank"
target="_self"
target="_parent"

I hope in a month there will be new design, documentation for builder and menu component.
