hi there, i’m trying to do a menu like this site: [alanis morissette](http://www.alanismorissette.com/main.html)

this slide menu i found very hard to code…  
could someone help me? i have no idea how to do,  
i began to do and i was doing something like this:

well i must have 5 options in the menu, so, i did a movie clip, with the width of the option \* 5, ex: each option (main, music, etc) have 550 pixels of width, so my movieclip have 2750px of width, i put one in the side of the other in sequence, the buttons are outside this menu with the site content. but the actions are driving me crazy…

i tried to do a function like this, just for test:

function moveMenu(){  
do{  
menu.\_x -= 10;  
}while(menu.\_x \> -550  
}

and in a button i did this:  
on(release){  
moveMenu();  
}

burt when i release the button, the menu only moves 10px left…

please, could someone help me out?

That’s an outdated tute. Try to understand it and then do it your own way, it will probably be better 🙂
