Setup of a dynamic menu

Hey, I am trying to get a rollover on a button where the menu slides in and slides out with the rollover and rolloff. How would i be able to do this, here is an example, http://www.tshirtsthatsuck.com/ns/index.html

Any help would be great

!!

:sigh:

C:-)

It isn’t that hard.

Create a movie clip, give it the instance name subMenu1, have the first frame be a stop() action and be empty.

Have frame 2 and on be the animation of the tabs (tabs will be buttons that are tweened down) coming down, with a stop() action on the last frame.

Now go back to the _root timeline, create your button.

Then on the button add these actions

on (rollOver){
_root.subMenu1.play();
}

Then when you want it cleared out just use _root.subMenu1.gotoAndStop(1); It takes you back to the empty frame.

Works perfectly !! I can use this now to make a window which comes from the side of the screen at the touch of a button, know how i could make it so that when i touch another button, Window A slides out, and Window B slides in? :sigh:

Create a variable that says what window is open.

Like (on the main timeline)…

openWin = “about”

And on your button you could be like…

on (release){
if (_root.openWin == “about”){
_root.aboutWin.gotoAndPlay(outAnimation);
_root.openWin = “links”
_root.linksWin.play();
}

This is if you are closing the about and opening the links.

It is just a quick thing, I am not even sure how well it works…lol.

Do you have an example :stunned: I didn’t get that actionscript

Alright I have a fully commented incredibly basic example.

Where you take it from there is up to you :wink:
