weird flash menu moving things... (help)

[jono1]

hey
if you look at the main nav menu at www.2advanced.com you'll notice the white bar that hovers over the menu item you most recently clicked...and moves around and stuff. anyone know how to do that (in flash)??

That's what it appears to be.....

*Added* sorry, misread the question......that was done in flash format, not sure how to do it though, actually I'm looking into that now for a site I'm building.....

um i dont know how to do it off the top of my head but go look at www.flashkit.com for a tutorial on it. You are gonna need to know some basic actionscripting to do it.

You dont need flash to get that, you can do it with a regular mouseover. Your gonna have to be able to make the animated gif yourself though. Also if you do it with a mouseover you wont be able to have sound in it.

Each time you click on a button, it probably goes to a new "page" in the falsh navagation.

I.E. Start Page Menu , Show No Bar

User Clicks on Button1
Goto Button1 Page, that has Bar over Button 1 and so forth.

In Flash you can create multiple "movies" in a single Flash Animation, and control how it will go from 1 movie to the next.

well what i'm doing is actually not for the web - i'm creating a completely digital version of my curriculum vitae to show to prospective future employers and i'm doing it entirely in flash.

i see what you mean but i need one where the thing actually moves...see what i'm doing is where you have one 'panel' that has main links and when you hit one of the buttons on it then another panel slides into view with sublinks on it. and then when you click on another main link the sublinks panel for that section moves away and the new one moves in....do you get what i mean?

Each button has a "on (release) goto scene x" command.

scene x will have 12 frames where the white bar is actually moving across and where your sublinks panel will also move in. Frame 13 will have a 'stop' action command in it. It will also have an instance of a movieclip of the white bar pulsating.

This is basically what PGP said just in different words
