I am working on this tutorial
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/slidingmenu.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/slidingmenu.htm)
How can I add pieces to the sliding menu and the trigger buttons??
What bit of script should I ammend?
Is it possible to increase the main mask to show 2 or more immages at once?
Please help I cannot get my head around it.
Thanx

funny, you say you can’t get your hea around it, implying you’ve tried for a while, yet you give people 77 minutes to respond.BUT I will say, clarify what you’re asking 😉

:-)🙂
I think you guys are at least 77 times better than me…
Ok the tutorial has 4 large images and for buttons. I wanted to add more immages to the slide. I have managed to add other 4 and work out the \_X value to move the slide to the correct position.
The problem is that if I change the size of the mask (I need to show 4 pictures) the all slide disappears, but I cannot understand why this happen.
Shall I come back in a coupple of days? No no no…

Excuse me guys
any idea on how to solve the above?
I have now found many examples of a double menu / scrolling and so on…
but I still need to show more than one image (square) for each trigger, hence I need the mask to be enlarged…
or maybe someone know of a different tutorial / movie to show?
Pleeeease
Thanx

oooh.
i just figured it out.
take the tutorial and build one yourself side by side.
that’s what i did and it works like a charm!!
just make sure that the content pages (no matter how big) are at x=0,y=0 each for its coordinates. and then line them up correctly in the content holder.
so happy! 😉

Well…I am happy that you are happy
You mean that it can be done it is just a matter of starting from scratch and make the mask MYSize…is that it?
I will trust your words, but if I fail will you show me your example? Even just the swf working…
Nite Nite

oh sure! it’s really easy. i made mine 750x580 and plan to add more slides.
i also moved the buttons to the top instead of the sides. i’ll attach my swf
here for you to look at. it is possible! 😉 i thought it wasn’t but it is!!! 🙂
**Now, what I want to know:**
Could someone pleeeze be kind enough to tell me – how do I make it so that an animation does not begin/load until users get to a specific slide?
Example:
The shine effect tutorial. [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/shine.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/shine.htm)
Say I want to put that effect on an object in slide 4.
How do you make it so that the object animates itself only when that slide is called up?
(maybe i should post this somewhere else. i don’t want to drag on your post)

you can put your animations on frames
and that animations are movieclips
movieclip start animating from frame 2
on first frame of animation clip you put stop();
and on selecting menu item you say
movieclip.gotoAndPlay(2)
if you have problem determining when your manu frame is on right place use jsut \_x value of your menu sliding clip
