I’m having difficulties trying to create a special type of sidebar style navigation. I’m wanting to have each pages info on a tab(page) that’s laid out like a folder system in a file cabinet. When a user clicks on the tab on the left, it pulls out to the right to expose the content. When the user clicks either on the tab again or another tab in the navigation, the existing tab(page) returns smoothly back to it’s position and the newly selected tab pulls to the right to expose the next content selected. I’d prefer to do this with actionscript to keep the file size small. Any ideas?
