I’m not really sure if this is the correct title, but i will tell what i’m looking for.
A while ago i saw an open source file for a menu (that time i was too stupid to remember to download the source file).
And the menu goes like this.
For example:
there are 5 buttons and a few ‘floating’ windows above.
Whenever someone click on a button the floating windows position themself to the coordinates that were given before.
And if another button is pushed the windows change shape and position again…etc. etc.
I have searched and searched and couldn’t find it !
Maybe i’m just using the incorrect name to find it, but if anyone here know what i mean and also know where i can download an example of that - A BIG BIG THANK YOU IN ADVANCE !!!
Electorngeek, you are very active on this forum man
anyway…
the image below is split in 2.
It shows what happens when you click on one button.
As you can see the ‘floating’ windows change when a button is clicked.
Surely you should have seen such thing before.
The floating windows resize / move to a predefined position when a button is clicked.
This happens at a ‘realtime’ way…so the user can see the windows resizing or moving to another position.
Well I’m sure there is many ways to do this, but I’ll show you one way. I basically used frame labels and a bunch of tweens. Here is an example fla file I put together real quick to help you understand what I’m talking about, I hope it helps. =)
I made that sample in about 10-15 min and yes, I’m sure there’s a way to script it all out of actionscripting, but I’m not to sure on it. I know you can use the moveTo action along with the x and y scale properties, but I haven’t attempted to come up with anything for it so I opted for the regular tweens.
As for this type of transition, I have no idea what it’s called…sorry. :-\
