</div>

thats because you don’t have any seperate code for the actual ‘links’. THey all are targetting the BIG BOX thing…you should make each link a new movieclip and give each their code…

</div>

half yes half no…  
yes in that a code should be applied to each link…and no in that not the SAME code should be applied as the one used in the box…A different one should be used…  
This code should be the one which makes the box move back up. I dont really undertssand your code as it is really unorganized (for me), so i can’t rally help you there. BUT if you understand what i’m saying, it shouldn’t be hard for you…

Which part don’t you understand i’ll help you 🙂 oh yea, you have to make sure the registration point is at the bottom, and you have to change the initialy value depending on your thing…

So if you click on the object, it will tell you the y value at the start. Just put this as your ‘initialy’ value get it?!

OK!!! here it goes…  
I guess iam on the right track…else get me on right track

newy = \_root.box.\_y\*1.5;

(Asigning a vaiable nemy, in that the box`s y corrodinate is multipled with 1.5)

Question: Why do u multiply by 1.5

MovieClip.prototype.ymovement = function() {

(MovieClip.prototype - moving the box in y direction which is asigned to a function)

```
this.onEnterFrame = function() {

```

( the current object, on enter frame is asigned to a function)

```
	movement = movement*0.7+(newy-this._y)/7;

```

( variable movement assigned to a formula)

Question : what does this formula does???

```
	this._y += movement;

```

(current object from y corrodinate + movement = movement…this must be to move the menu)

```
};

```

};

MovieClip.prototype.rollback = function() {

(MovieClip.prototype - moving the box in backward direction which is asigned to a function)

```
this.onEnterFrame = function() {

```

( the current object, on enter frame is asigned to a function)

```
	var initialy = 48.4;

```

(variable has initialy value =48.4)  
Question : y 48.4?

from here confused.  
i mean how it works

( can we deburg and see which function or line is running while running tehj program)  
var finaly = this.\_height + initialy  
this.\_y -= 10;  
if (this.\_y\<=finaly) {  
this.\_y = finaly;  
}  
};  
};

> 

Question: Why do u multiply by 1.5

because if we multiply by too much the rollout function will always take place, get it?! Because the box is only so big, so if it goes toooo low, then that means the mouse has ‘rolled out’, therefore the box will go back upwards.

> 

Question : what does this formula does???

THis formula i got from the slide menu tutorial, it gives the box an easing movement, as well as the springy thing. Change the values 0.7 and 7 to see…

> 

Question : y 48.4?

I said this in the post before, but i will say it again since you din’dt understand. We need the initial ‘y’ value of the box to see how far it rolls back. Therefore, if you click on the box before anything happens, you will see the ‘y’ value is 48.4. So in your initial value, the value = 48.4.

And basically you will see i have 2 functions. When the mouse rolls over the box, function ymovement takes place. When it rolls out, function rollback takes place. Get it?! 🙂
