This is just a concept. The buttons go nowhere…
I want honest opinions please…
should I go fwd on this path, or try another?
thanks,
Rev
nice, although i dont particularly like the font 
Interesting layout, I like those rolling balls, but I think it would be nice to have them roll back into position onrollout.
I would like to see you move forward with it. Also is there a reason why photography is spelled fotography? Am I missing something?
I haven’t made the balls go backwards yet… it was easier to code gotoandstop for now… I do have it planned to roll back on rollout…
fotography - no reason. I spelled it correctly on the rollover text… just being weird…
thanks for the comments
not sure about the font either. I want something non-linear if you know what I mean…
Rev
The last letter of Fotography and Design were halfway cut off for me.
You could do a hitTest() movie clip button Rev, that would make rolling forward and backward easier… Something like this…
Instead of having a button symbol use a movie clip symbol as your button. Create your tween or whatever of your ball rolling. In frame 1 put a stop() action to it stays there to start.
Apply these actions to the movie clip… [AS]onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)){
this.nextFrame();
} else {
this.prevFrame();
}
}
on (release){
//do whatever here
}
[/AS]
This will have it so that when your mouse is over the clip it will keep going nextFrame() until it hits the last frame, and if you mouse isn’t over the clip it will goes prevFrame() until it is back to frame 1. This would make for an easy roll in and roll out effect. If you wish me to set up an example just say the word, but im sure EG has one in his stockpile already, hes posted it a few times.
I think you can continue, more sections would be nice to see for better judging though =)
I stole that exact code I think, to do a footer once…
if I remember correctly… but that was what I was intending…
I was just lazy with the coding so far…
[edit]they are MC’s[/edit]
I’m still not sure it’s right… I won’t say why, but I’m sure someone will point it out…
Rev
Ok, I made an example anyway 
thanks … I’ll d/l the fla and take a look… it may be more efficient than mine…
I have a tendancy to leave the coding until the end. I just make things move first, decide if I like them that way, or if they don’t work, I’ll move things around, or end up doing more 3D work.
then, I worry about the coding, making things work right… etc.
Rev
note: Im not sure why the shadows move the way they do. Is the light source moving?
that is exactly what my prob is…
yes, the light source is moving, I am trying to make it seem like there is a depression in the middle of the page.
maybe if I took out the sig…
let me see…
Rev
Oh, I definitely didn’t get the impression there was a depression 
You need like a .png image there of a light radial gradient or something to show that the page is dented, it would work better visually what you were going for I think. IMO, not really sure though.
that is what I was just thinking about…
maybe I can incorporate the sig into that…
hmmmm
thanks lost!
Rev
since lost’s code was so nice, I had to redo it…
I’ve moved the light source… changed the way they lay out…
Oh, and added lost’s code to make it look pretty…
thanks lost :love:

The ends of the words are cut off on my comp :-\
i wouldn’t title a page “balls” lol
but your balls are nice,
words cut for me to
Very nice rev
The words are still cut off at the end for me as well.
Also…the Fotography and Design buttons overlap so if you mouseover just the right area both of those roll out and display their overlapping text :x
I still have to work on the hit stage of the mc’s …
weird about the text tho. I have embedded everything… it should look the same on yours as mine… must look at this…

just a working title…
:beam:
Rev
Heres what the words look like to me…
Are you sure you check the embed font outlines option for each textbox? :-\
Doing it for 1 textbox embeds the font in the movie, but you still have to choose to embed the font on all the other textboxes so that Flash knows to use the font that was embedded in the movie.
yup. MX hides boxes all over the place… :beam:
I fixed that, you should see the correct font now…
You should also have the overlap of hit spaces fixed…
thanks
Rev
