Hey guys,

just went to a site and the animation just baffles me.  
please do check out [http://www.spacefx.co.uk](http://www.spacefx.co.uk).  
and when u navigate through the tabs on the left, you notice that the background pictures glow. More specifically, i think the levels were tweaked in photoshop.  
it just kills me that i have no idea how it’s done. somebody enlighten me.  
please.  
many thanks.

Geoff

I don’t see anything that’s all that unusual, it’s gorgious, yes, but it looks like a bunch of external bevels and simple tweens, not to mention some spectacular stock photography. Most of the effects you could create using fireworks or photoshop, pick your poison.

What I want to know, is how these guys made their site…

Now that’s some slick flash.

nono, i see your flow about the external bevel and tweens. the bevels put me off a wee bit actually. haha.  
but what im refering to is the tween which they used when u navigate through the pages.  
as u click on the links on the left, the background image of the main “frame” flashes white. kinda like glowing as i mentioned.  
do you know how to do that effect?  
thanks a plenty.
