Hi all,

Got a question regarding easing and moving some objects on RollOver / RollOut.

Lets take the following setting

[http://img422.imageshack.us/img422/4933/buttons6ml.jpg](http://img422.imageshack.us/img422/4933/buttons6ml.jpg)

3 simple buttons

what i want the clip to do is that when a user Rollovers button 1 , then button 2 and 3 fades (\_alpha) to 0 (zero).  
And when you rollout of button 1 then button 2 and 3 fades alphas back to 100

Same goes to button 2 and 3.  
When you Rollover button 2 then button 1 and 3 will \_alpha out to 0 and on RollOut then button 1 and 3 re-appears.

I did manage to make ‘something’ out of it, but it doesnt quite work and i have a feeling that i am using too much code.  
Also, the alpha changes for alll the buttons instead of just 1 , 2 or 3.

onClipEvent (load) {  
\_alpha = 100;  
div = 4;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
\_alpha += (endAlpha-\_alpha)/div;  
button1.onRollOver = function() {  
endAlpha = 20;  
};  
button1.onRollOut = function() {  
endAlpha = 100;  
};  
}

There is another catch though.  
Because i want to be able to have text slide in place as well.

Lets say you RollOver button 1  
Then button 2 and 3 fade out.  
But on the location where button 2 and 3 were… i want text to slide in (as to give a description for button 1)

Alot of simple things but for me very frustrating to do.  
I have tried reading alot of easing AS examples but can’t seem to re-program it to my needs ☹

anybody can help ? Big big thank you in advance.
