Hi.

I need to implement this kind of 2.5D side menu. Is it possible to do it with Corona?

Hi Renato,

Yes, I think this should be possible. Just adjust the two right-side path points. I assume you’ve read through the various tutorials and guides on this?

Yes, I am very familiar with path points. But I can only adjust the path points of the corners, correct? In this side menu I would have to adjust a point between the corners…

Hi Renato,

Maybe I’m not seeing it… this looks like a basic 2.5D adjustment of the two right corners. Where is there a middle point that would need to be tweaked?

So, if I had access to a middle point, I could make the necessary adjustments, but as far as I know, the path points only allows me to access the corners (x1,y1  ;  x2,y2  ; x3,y3;   x4,y4)

Ah, I see now. You can’t tweak a middle point, but you could probably make the menu into two side-by-side snapshots (when the drag/slide begins) and then adjust the respective corner points of each simultaneously.

Yeah, my first thought was to divide the menu in 2 rectangles but then I faced the problem that the labels would be added to just one of them…

But your suggestion (of having 2 snapshots) may solve that… I will try here. 

Thanks for the input.
