How can i get the disappear(i used zoom out)Effect when i click another link
i mean i want to get the zoom out effects for the previous movie clip when i click the next movie link.

You can use tweening to simulate zoom out by scaling x and y to a low value. (_xscale and _yscale properties)

if you download the file then you can understand my question.

On the Stage:[list=1]
[]Layer1 frame1: movieclip, instance name “buttonGroup”.
5 movieclips within “buttonGroup”, instance names, “b1” “b2” “b3” “b4” “b5”.
[]Layer2, frame1: movieclip, instance name “pageGroup”.
5 movieclips within “pageGroup”, instance names, “page1” “page2” “page3” “page4” “page5”.
[*]Layer Actions, frame1: paste the script.(ActionScript 3.0)[/list]

Thaks a lot but The link is not working for mine.
I’m using flash 8.Is there is any way to get ActionScript 3.0 without installing Flash cs3.

[U]This is the error report i get when trying to preview[/U]

Install TweenMax. (AS2 version)
Adapt the script to AS2.
The basic concept is the same.
