Radial (Pie) Menu
I’ve created a basic radial context menu that can be used for simple tool selection or navigation. Because of the right-click limitations in Flash/Flex I have made it accessible with Ctrl-click, but I may apply the javascript hack that makes right-click possible.
There are 2 standard modes of interaction. If you Ctrl-click without moving the mouse, the menu will stay open, allowing you to pick a tool. As users become more familiar with the navigation, they can select the tools with a single click and drag in the right direction.
This is very much an alpha level component. I may look into developing it further if anyone is interested in using it. At the moment the ’segments’ of the pie are fully skinnable, and the options in the menu are specified by a dataProvider, so it can be driven from XML, Arrays, etc.

Very nice. I’ve wanted one ever since I saw that Doug Mccune had developed one for his “super-secret” app. You planning on releasing source? Thanks for the demo.

AWESOME, any change to release the sources? Even if not completed, I could learn from this.
thanks

Hey bud, that component is very cool and easy to use! Would definitely be keen to see it without the Flash ‘right click’ limitations.

This is awesome man! I wonder how hard it would be to open the menu when the user did a “click and hold” action. That would be cool.

Good evening Alex – were you planning on releasing the source for this? If not – it’s all good and I’ll just try to hack one together myself. Thanks for always sharing so much knowledge!

Alex,
Is there any way I could get the source from you? I am a software engineering student research efficient experience design for multi-touch systems in retail environments, and I’ve been trying to find an example of someone who has implemented a great flash radial menu.
Thanks!
