Any idea on how to do this?

1

I am assuming that this is some sort of action script, if anyone knows any tutorials that they can direct me to on how to do this it would be greatly apreciated.

I am looking for something that looks like on the following page:

how the main menu falls, and when you mouse over one of the falling menu items it stops its motion and drops its submenus

Again thank you all in advance on any help you can give me

hmmm… don’t think the pop down sub menu’s are action scripted. It looks like a movie that plays when the main menu item is moused over. I’d say the most actionscript used in this is to determine whether that picture window appears above or below the line… maybe an if statement and some actionscipt to determine the x and y locations of the menu’s and pictures. It doesn’t look too hard, but it would be fiddly.

I’d say if you want to recreate this experiment with using actionscript to control the timelines of movieclips. I’d dare say you could find some good tutorials on this site (don’t know any off the top of my head).

Beware if you are going to use this. While it looks ok its not very functional if you have a low end computer. I was lagging so much that I could hardly use the site when I used my work laptop. At home it was smooth but hey… most people dont have what we would have in their home OR work.

I noticed some lag as well… but it was the whole moving navigation thing that turned me off. I’m a fan of buttons that are easy to click on!:slight_smile:
