Hi,

As a basic user of Flash, I was wondering whether anyone could explain how to create the kind of content boxes that appear on sites such as [www.cruciallimit.com](http://www.cruciallimit.com) and [www.estudio.com](http://www.estudio.com). I love the ‘springy’ effect of the content areas when they open/close and would like to emulate this kind of effect.

If anyone know of a tutorial for this already out there please could they let me know!

Many thanks.

This is basically clever shape tweening. There is a wonderful tutorial here: [computer arts](http://computerarts.co.uk/tutorials/type/tutorial.asp?id=32124).

I advise you to read the whole thing, it’s very very interesting.
