Circle menu + source

This is another - pretty unconventional - navigation-system I made, but I figured at this point it makes more sense to share it than to let it gather dust in a folder somewhere.
The circle-segments are supposed to represent selection items. Everything is procedurally generated: the segments are drawn with an arc-drawing routine, and everything (colors, radii, gaps, arc thickness etc.) is customizable.

If you are good with the mouse, you can make a full 360 degree turn with each arc. This feature was actually the most non-trivial part to do: this thread helped a whole lot to make it happen.

Anyway, you can open it in a new window, you can download the ActionScript3 source by clicking HERE, or you can play with it right here:
