Hi,

I would like a bit of script that I could attach to some buttons so it looks like they are wobbling slighty on roll over.

The atached jpeg shows the basic design of them - opaque with shadows.

I would like the movement to be random, i can programme it already to move up and down or whatever, but not so its a differnt movement every time.

Can you help?

…no, not really…

I guess i’m after a hovering effect, like the hover skate board in back to the future. When you put your cursor over the square it would move slightly downwards and in the direction of the mouse approach.

ok, how about this in the buttons actions:

[AS]  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
xdist = \_x-\_root.\_xmouse;  
ydist = \_y-\_root.\_ymouse;  
xdist \< 50 && xdist \> 0 ? \_x += 10 : null;  
xdist \< 0 && xdist \> -50 ? \_x -= 10 : null;  
ydist \< 50 && ydist \> 0 ? \_y += 10 : null;  
ydist \< 0 && ydist \> -50 ? \_y -= 10 : null;  
}  
[/AS]

this might cause errors or something, I haven’t tested it 'cause I’m in school.

hmm, i tried and nothing seems to be happening - i’ll keep on trying though… Perhaps when school is over you can have a little play with the code, see if you can get any further.
