What do you mean? Be more specific…

this issue has been discussed there many times.

i think i was cz i need to know how did they did it(the whole thing):beam:

hmm… you HAVE the fla… dont you know already how they did it?

That fla is just too ■■■■ complicated… :hangover: It almost looks like it’s been obfuscated on purpose :crazy:

:beam: that deserves a looksee

Its not that bad considering what its doing. The flash 4 syntax can be a little confusing, though that might have been a concious decision for reasons of speed (though this isnt doing so much that its really an issue).

basically you have a ‘button’ movieclip to represent your section (this being the circle and ‘option’ text. Each one of these is pseudo-rotated around a bar using trig, each offset from the next based on a global rotation value. There are hidden buttons behind each of the positions of these sections to change that global rotation to that position which would make that current selection appear frontmost (and would also control your actions for that section).

Glad you could decipher the code. :slight_smile: I know I could never get anything to appear instead of the default text :-/

thx to all,
i did not think that its a very complicated :hangover:
