I think this could help you, it’s almost exactly the same effect, just needs a bit of tweaking as far as the “amount” variable goes.
You’ll see what I mean.
Tell me if it works

Sorry, I forgot to put the actions on the main timeline, so here is the updated fla with an explanation:
OK the code on the mc is all commented so you should be able to see whats going on there.
On the main timeline, we have “amount=50”.50 is the xpos of the mc on the stage, so we put those actions there so every time the movie loads, the mc will be sitting in that place.
Now, on each of the buttons, we have a different value for “amount”. To get these values :
The value for the first button is the same as that on the main timeline, as"Home" is our first menu item.
Then move the mc left until the next item is in the position that you would like it to be, and check it’s x value, this is the value that should be used on the button, and so on , . . . .
This can also be done vertically, with the mc being moved up instead of left.

alright i got a problem. i tried to recreate the site, and i copied the action script from your mc to mine, and it works, but its really off line, like when i put in the X coordinance, its doesnt go to the same place it shows on the fla, also how did you get those green lines there… 😑

Hey man,
Do you want to try and attach the fla again, I can download it but cannot open it. Try calling it a different name.Thanks
As for the green lines, they are the guides.
Press “ctrl+alt+shift+r” and the page rulers will appear.You can drag the guides out from the rulers, and drag them back onto the rulers to get rid of them . .

I do not now what makes the code do that as I have had some problems like that in the past.
I have taken a look, and just played around with different values for “amount”.The numbers might need to be a bit more refined, just adjust them slightly and keep testing the movie until you get the effect you want. They are pretty close at the mo’
Cheers

Nice one Tobydog!
Much better example.
And Fluid, how could one make the arrow detect which scene, or current menu item the user is on?
