Slider Menu

Hey. I can seem to decide how to go about creating a slider menu like the one at this site…

slider menu

I assume movieclip actions? Any help or point towards a good tutorial would be great. Thanks!

It is the method called easing…

I will say it before and I will say it again, tutorials teach a theory and method of how something works, so even though the above tutorial isn’t exactly what you want, the easing method it teaches is what you want, you just have to implement it how you need it.

sorry lostinbeta i just saw this. Thanks for your post I was starting to doubt whether anyone could give me any tips. I’m about to take a look at that tutorial and yea I usually try to fool around with a code to see it’s abilities once I’ve got it down. It is however about 1:30 in the morning so I’m heading to bed and I’ll be doing all the editing in the morn. Thanks a lot for the reply beta, sorry I am pretty subborn about figuring things out sometimes. :slight_smile:

haha … i noticed it’s even WRITTEN by you too. :love:
You’re great.

No problem Seretha, its 1:30am too, so I understand…lol.

I only mentioned that last thing because A LOT of people take one look at the tutorial and say “this isn’t what I want, I don’t want it to follow the mouse, I want to go do this… , how do I do that?”

It really shouldn’t be that hard to edit, just keep in mind that the clip will go wherever the endX and endY variables are. And it helps to put those variables in the _root timeline so you can target them as _root.endX and _root.endY (IMO it makes it easier to use when doing this button rollOver effect).

Good Luck :slight_smile:

There is another one called Mouse Follow w/ Easing that I wrote as well. They were my first two tutorials for this site, it was a 2 part series (released at the same time) on the method of easing :beam:

check this out :slight_smile:
