Hey guys I hate to just be the kind of guy that asks and asks questions but how in the name of everything that is holy did pixelranger design the sub-buttons on
[http://www.centralitycomm.com/](http://www.centralitycomm.com/) I cant tell if he used after effects or some other video production software or photoshop and its just a lot of advanced settings within flash with tweens.
Any thoughts

Actually, it can all be done in Flash…just give me a few minutes to post an FLA.

Funny, I’m not impressed with those buttons in the least. It could just be that the entire site doesn’t appeal to me at all.

Yea, the buttons aren’t impressive at all. If you’re going to use Flash…ah, let them do whatever they like.
It’s a quick, rough, dirty mock-up, but here’s your FLA.
It should be enough to get you going in the right direction…and don’t EVER use any bitmap apps (AfterEffects, Photoshop, etc.) for something you can easily rebuild in Flash.

Nice New hope very nice not really as extreme as the ones on centrality but nice none the less. I agree that the overall design of the site is nothing to get up in roars about but I had seen those types of buttons all over the place latey and I was just curious what he had probably used.
Thanks for all the comments guys
Does anyone know a kirupa like site for After Effects?
Its seems I unfortunately do have to catch up on my skills with that one.
