Feature Request - Menu "Unfolding"

Post by vikenk »

Hello Milonic team!

I thought I may request a new feature be built into the Milonic meu - unfolding submeus. See here for an example: http://www.patriots.com/homepage/

The main menu at the top has menus that unfold down. I think that is a cool feature and would love to see it included in the Milonic menu. I envision it as an option: you can either have animated unfolding menus or regular menus. Although I realize that the menu in the example is a Flash animation, I think that it could be incorporated in a Javascript.

Andy, have you had many requests for such a thing? Would it be exceedingly difficult to do?

Hi Vikenk,

Just so you know, you can do it now in IE, but not in the other browsers. As you note that would have to be something that Andy programmed if it is possible.

To do it in IE use this

Code: Select all

overfilter="GradientWipe(WipeStyle=1, size=1.00, motion='Forward', duration=1.5)";
outfilter="GradientWipe(WipeStyle=1, size=1.00, motion='Reverse', duration=1.5)";
You can test it at the filters demo http://support.milonic.com/demos/filters/index.htm

I set the duration real high to get it to slide down real slow :)

Hi Vikenk,

There are some real neat effects, I play with that demo a lot to test things. Here's another one that probably is even better for doing what you want, I just found it.

Code: Select all

outfilter="Blinds(bands=1, direction='Up', duration=0.5)";
overfilter="Blinds(bands=1, direction='Down', duration=1.0)";
