Elastic box draggable menu headache!

1

Hi, this is a test for everyone!!
A client of mine has seen this elastic menu box effect and has asked me to see if I can loosely recreate it.

elastic box menu

Does anyone know how to A; create it? or B; create a draggable elastic box and I’ll go from there!!

Thanks

Hmmm, why don’t you tell your client that you can’t do it, but that I can?!! :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley: :trout:
And special price only for him/her/them = €30/hour! :wink:

So, anyway, here’s a little something to get you started…

hehe, maybe I should!

But unfortuantely the file’s not opening…any chance of trying again…or private messaging it to me?

thanks in advance…

Sorry for not replying earlier paul, but I haven’t recieved any email notification on your reply here :frowning:

Here’s that same file in MX format. (The previous one was made in MX2004)

If you combine mine and scottys files, I think you’d get something that works quite good. (I think my “resizing” is a little bit smoother than scottys, but I haven’t got those lines.)

Thanks for that I’ll try and combine it all…but have you any idea how I can make it work as a menu system!!!
Rather than an expanding box…

Thanks! :slight_smile:
But I just realized that the boxInsideBox_mc is not needed. I think. Yup.
I’ll change it!

Here’s what I have

And here’s mine…
Now use your imagination, Paul (postatomic)!
And if you want me to comment the code just say so.

sorry, error in the AS. Replace row 36 with this row:

[AS]
if (_root.cross_mc._x>0 && _root.cross_mc._x<290) {
[/AS]
