You can incorporate the Dock Menu in any website for free without even using Flash. The alignment may be horizontal and vertical, customizable min and max images width and height, configurable spacing. You can also choose from three expanding directions and have an optional auto scrolling and multiple scrolling properties and speeds. It can be resized to the extent of 1680 x 1050 pixels. The tooltip is HTML formatted. Lightbox can easily be integrated for this menu.<\/p>\n\n\n

Make sure your Wordpress version is greater than 2.8 and your hosting provider is using PHP5.<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. There are two files to download: WordPress Plugin<\/a> (that you have to install and activate) & Free archive<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Create a new folder inside your wp-content<\/strong> folder called flashxml<\/strong>, inside this folder create a new one called dock-menu-fx<\/strong> and copy the content of the free archive<\/strong> there<\/li>\n
  3. If you copied the free archive<\/strong> to a location different than the one above, go to Dock Menu FX<\/strong> from the Settings<\/strong> tab in your WordPress Dashboard<\/strong> and update the path accordingly<\/li>\n
  4. Add [dock-menu-fx][\/dock-menu-fx]<\/code> where you want the Flash to show up in your post\/page<\/li>\n
  5. If you want to make the Dock Menu FX part of your theme, edit the template files and add <?php dockmenufx_echo_embed_code(); ?><\/code> where you want it to show up<\/li>\n
  6. Go to FlashXML.net<\/a> and customize your Dock Menu FX<\/a> using the Live Demo. Generate the settings.xml<\/code> text and use it to overwrite wp-content\/flashxml\/dock-menu-fx\/settings.xml<\/code><\/li>\n
  7. To use your own images, upload them to wp-content\/flashxml\/dock-menu-fx\/images\/<\/code> and update the wp-content\/flashxml\/dock-menu-fx\/images.xml<\/code> file accordingly<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Additional settings file<\/h4>\n\n

    To embed the Dock Menu FX more than once, you will need another settings file and (probably) another set of images. Let's assume your new file is called settings2.xml<\/code>. Add [dock-menu-fx settings=\"settings2.xml\"][\/dock-menu-fx]<\/code> where you want the Flash to show up in your post\/page. If you made the Flash part of your theme, add the file name as the first argument<\/strong> of the dockmenufx_echo_embed_code()<\/code> function call (for example <?php dockmenufx_echo_embed_code(\"settings2.xml\"); ?><\/code>).<\/p>\n\n

    No Flash support text<\/h4>\n\n

    To support visitors without Adobe Flash Player, you can provide alternative content by adding the text between [dock-menu-fx]<\/code> and [\/dock-menu-fx]<\/code>. If you made the Flash part of your theme, add the text as the second argument<\/strong> of the dockmenufx_echo_embed_code()<\/code> function call (for example <?php dockmenufx_echo_embed_code(\"\",\"Alternative content\"); ?><\/code>).<\/p>\n\n

    If you have PHP4<\/h4>\n\n

    To make it work with PHP4, add [dock-menu-fx width=\"600\" height=\"300\"][\/dock-menu-fx]<\/code> where you want the Flash to show up in your post\/page. If you made the Flash part of your theme, add the width and height as the third and fourth argument<\/strong> of the dockmenufx_echo_embed_code()<\/code> function call. Don't forget to provide your own width and height values, since 600 and 300 are just examples.<\/p>\n\n

    Getting rid of the FlashXML.net label<\/h4>\n\n

    To remove the FlashXML.net label from the top-left corner you'll need to buy the paid package<\/a>. Once you'll do that, simply use the SWF file from the paid package to overwrite the SWF file from the wp-content\/flashxml\/dock-menu-fx\/<\/code> folder.<\/p>","raw_excerpt":"Probably the most advanced Dock Menu on the web.
