[this site i am working on](http://www.aspirebcg.com/clients/roddy) the menu is not exactly how i would like it. does anyone know how to make the little easing piece i have stop over each word and if you stop between words it will jump to the next word.
here you can take a look

what are the actions for the moving mc? and the actions for the buttons?
80% its just an adjustment at the calculation

well right now i think that i am doing this the totall crap way. i have a mc that is the length of the whole menu bar and i just have that shape easing along that mc. that is why i question if there is (i am sure there is) a much better and more professional way to do this.

you’d probably have an variable in that mc with:
>
newX = \_root.\_xmouse
or something simular…
make sure you set the vars on the buttons with an rollover
>
on(rollOver){
\_root.easingMc.newX = this.\_x + this.\_width/2
}
adjust it to your needs…

i guess i am still a little off here is what is in my mc
```auto
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.tarX = 262;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.box.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse)) {
_root.tarX = _root._xmouse;
}
_root.bigbox._x = _root.tarX-(_root.tarX-_root.bigbox._x)/1.2;
}
```
and here is what is on my button
```auto
on (rollOver) {
_root.box.tarX = this._x+this._width/2;
}
```
my mc is named box

looks like this is a bit useless…
```
if (_root.box.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse)) {
_root.tarX = _root._xmouse;
}
```

I think what you want to do is have the slider ease to a certain position corresponding to a menu option, not the mouse position. If you post the fla, I’ll give it a shot.
