Hi Guys,

I am trying to create a bouncing button effect similar to that of the example I have attached. However, I am having two problems.

The first problem is that when I line the buttons up next to eachother there is an overlapping problem. I think I need to add a getdepth() action or something, and I was wondering if you could show me what I need to add.

The second problem is more of a question. I was wondering if there would be a better way to create an effect like this for a button using actionscript. I have messed around with the mx.transitions effects for a bouncing/elastic effect, but once again I could not get it to function for a simple rollover.

Thanks for your help guys, it is always much appreciated!
