On Roll Over animation

programming flash
1

I’m trying to figure out how to put together an animatated navigation bar in which rolling the mouse over, say 5 different pieces of text causes each piece to alter in some way …pretty basic really, but I can’t find a tutorial that tells me how to do this.

Check the link here ([URL=http://www.hintclothing.com/media/navigation.swf]http://www.hintclothing.com/media/navigation.swf) to see what I’ve done so far.

The videography and photography text alters as I want it to, but the warriors text won’t… I think this is probably due to the way I’ve laid out all the frames and the scripting I’ve used… the source file is here: http://www.hintclothing.com/media/navigation.fla

Any input would be very much appreciated, or a link to a helpful tutorial on the subject…

Thanks very much

Here, hope this helps. What I did was move the frame for the warrior timeline that had the button to the first frame.

why do you guys keep uploading mx flas in the Flash 5 forum. Isn’t it a bit obvious the guy uses flash 5???

Thanks very much Lorcas! I must’ve missed that!
We had a copy of MX running on another machine anyway, so opening the file wasn’t a problem.

Riggghtt… I do have another small question;
http://www.soapshoes.info/sneak/index.php has the completed animation on it…
Notice how, if you roll the mouse over one of the pieces of text, it’ll rise and then fall again when you roll out. The problem is, if you roll out straight onto another piece of text, triggering it to rise, it’ll cut out the falling animation of the previous piece of text.
In other words, two different events can’t take place at the same time…

It’s barely noticeable on this animation, but I’ve come up against this problem in the past, what’s the solution?
