how do I achieve this effect in flash6 with actionscript? do you have to tween to get the effect of the pictures moving in the background? to see the effect, go to:

> **[Poker trick school | Best trick poker school in USA](https://flyingbaboon.com/)**
>
> Best trick poker school in USA

  
then choose the flash site (duh), click enter (double duh),  
then go to the photos section.

I know you can probably do it with a movie and setting a variable to 0 or 1 depending on the mouse position and make the movie advance to the next or previous frame depending on the value. that’s the easy way (I think). is there a way to do it without the tween?? I gotta know! thanks!:q:

Sorry for posting nothing helpfull, but I got to say that:

I´ve seen this before, but I gotta say tha this is a kick@$$ effect!

I doubt that this is made with tweens. This is pure AS for sure. I really want to know that too.

Sorry to not be of helpful assistance tutorial wise, but there is an open source file of a menu exactly like that at [www.levitated.net](http://www.levitated.net) (love that site).

You know that is not just for the link, don´t be modest.🙂

By the way, your footer is awesome, not the effect only, but the pick an treatment of the images was perfect! Very bealtyfull! I would say that is a work of art, by far the best around here.

Thanks =)

My footer is just 3 .png images that I did in Photoshop. And some Easing effects. It is very simple.

It is funny how I made my footer a long time ago, but then like last week someone showed me this site called [http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/](http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/) and they have stuff sorta like that in their games, but orsinal is way better, Ferry Halim is one talented Flasher :o

The Orsinal site was posted by someone else here asking how they did some things.

I have never heard of it until then, but it kinda makes my footer look like a copy from there :-\

Either way, I am proud of my footer, so I am keeping it, I made it before I saw that site :evil:

Finding the time between my posts… hmmmm, I find a lot of time to do things between posts.

I post it quick bursts. I do stuff, come online, reply to as many threads as I can help, leave, do stuff, come back and reply again.

Having a cable modem definitely helps with the speed.
