How to do the button effect on this site

www.xdude.com

that lighting button effect he uses on the text… i’ve tried doin it using mask’s -n- stuff but i can’t seem to get it to work very well =/, anyone have an idea on how to do it??

that flash of light is a MC that follows the mouse. then its just told to gotoAndPlay when it rolls over a button.

yep, or an onMouseOver

yeh, heheh sorry i dun think i was clear enough. I wanna know how to make the flash of light… just like a linear gradient type of thing or ???

Ya know i remember seeing a tute on that here somewhere. If not here flashkit…

hmmm i think i got it worked out…i just made a graphic in fireworks that kinna looks like that and put it on the rollover ;p… dunno if that’s how he did it, but it works =D

xdudes site is kind old, so it was most likely imported graphics.

I THINK, not 100% sure that his site is Flash 4. It first came out in like 1999 and hasn’t been updated since…lol.

He keeps saying he will, but never does.

Nevermind, it is Flash 3 and has been “Under Contruction” since August 1999
