2-------and when u click on them, they have these funny jagged lines appearing and disappearing…almost looking like someone is drawing them…how is tat done?

I’m sure there’s a scrollbar tutorial on Kirupa somewhere… Where’s electrongeek when you need him?

I’ve just checked through, and I can’t see one in Flash 5. Maybe we need to make one. Anyway, if it’s a tutorial you need, check out Flashkit (loath as I am to recommend them).

Okay, the moving arrows that go to highlight the menu options look like simple motion tweens with a bit of a blur on them. The tutorial for that is http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/motionblur.asp.

Kit: Sorry Angel, I think you’re mistaken. I’m 99% certain those lines are done with A/S. I’m guessing using the Drawing API. Give it random points for a second and then define the end point depending on which button is pressed, and then fade out the MC.

Heres a link to the Drawing Board made by Pom:

ITS using MX.

Here is one for Flash 5:
