I’ve got a taugh-to-explain doubt. I want to make a menu which items are, let’s say 1, 2 and 3. Ok, this is easy. The thing is that I want a mouse over effect, with which when I mouse over one of the items, it is highlighted with a coloured square. Til here, i managed to do it. Now is when it comes the difficult thing. I want the square to move from on number to the other when I mouse over. That’s it: when I am on number 2, if the coloured square is on number 1, I want it to move with a motion tween from 1 to 2. I first thought of doing so with a GoTo action, and puting the movement into the Timeline with a Motion Tween. But I realised that doing so, the only possible movements would be from 1 to 2, from 2 to 3 and from this back to one. And I want the square to go to the rolled over number from whatever number the square is. How can I do it?I am not sure I made myself understood. The thing is I don’t even know if it is possible to do. Can someone help me, please? Tks!
