Okay, I've spent at least 3 days experimenting, searching, yelling and whatever else in an attempt to make this work and no matter how close I think I am to getting there, it's always one more problem to stuff it up.
What I hope to achieve is this:
A simple menu, just plain text, 7 lines (Home, About Us, Products, etc) in a vertical list. When the user puts their mouse over each menu item, it should 'grow' to roughly 150% of it's current size. And I would like it to grow, not just suddenly double in size, then on mouseoff, shrink in size.
I know how to do this by making a motion tween and transforming the size, etc... but I don't want to have to do this seven times over. Surely there is Action Script that could easily do this for me.
I have looked at flashikit, ultrashock and search google for help, but I've failed miserably. I did start off playing around with a script from http://www.ultrashock.com/ff.htm?http://ww...tailed/165.html which sort of had the desired effect I was after (onMouseOver object grows, onMouseOff object shrinks). I managed to to remove the random 'shaking' and get the text to show up in the right spot, but I failed to make the text itself be the link (I don't want that shape there, just text, in a locked position). I have sinced found out, that no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to make that work at all, so what I'm asking now is:
What ActionScript is there that I could use on a button, so onMouseOver, it smoothly grows to 150% in size, then onMouseOff, it smoothly shrinks back to 100% size? I've spent ages looking and I'm asking for help as a last resort, but I've got NFI how to achieve this.
sucks! i never ended up using it, but when it was announced i was excited to see a new and refreshing browser. i guess we'll see what Dia has to offer but at first glance, seems like an operator type browser.
maybe tis the end of the browsers as we know it, you know with Opera's Neo and all. exciting times.....i guess......
