[rockstah690]

Hi there!

This site has some really fantastic tutorials and Im certain I have come to the right place. I really need help in achieving three things, the first one is the transition effect created on this site: www.kurdmaverick.com (http://www.kurdmaverick.com) Upon clicking a menu button this graphic transition occurs, how to get that? I've tried masking but it just looks horrible.

The next is a photo gallery, I really want to know how to create something like this:

And lastly, how to achieve such crisp looking images as featured in the gallery above!!

I will be truly greatful for you help!

Thanking you in advance,

Well the transition effect is easy, as for the photo gallery I am not quite sure, since I have had no experience with XML so I can only help you with the transition effect.

Here is how it goes:

1. Create a shape(rectangle) (in this case the menu text with the white square)

2. Convert this into a MC(movie clip) symbol and name it menu_mc(or whatever you like

3. Double click the menu_mc to go inside it.

4. Name layer 1: "whiteBG"

5. Select the text and press Crl+X to cut the shape.

6. Insert a new layer and name it: "Tittle txt"

7. Crate a movie clip (Crl+F8) name it: "MenuItems"))that has all the menu items that you whant, this must be less than the with of the white rectangle and as long as you desire.

7 and a half. (7.5) Insert a new layer name : MenuItems Layer

8. Whit that done, you can find the MenuItems MC in the library, drag this instance to the stage on teh layer you just created

9. Place the bottom of the MenuItems on top of the white rectangle.

10. Create a new layer called: MenuItems Mask

11. select the white rectangle layer and on frame 20 press F6

12 Select layer MenuItems and on frame 20 press F6

12.5. For the next layers select frame 20 and press F5

13. select frame 20 of the Menuitems layer and selcet Menuitems_mc and drag it down so that the top of the MC is just 20 pixels down from the top of the white rectangle.

14. Select frame 20 of the white rectangle layer select the white rectangle, with the free transform tool(Q) rezise the white rectangle so that the bottom is 20 pixels down form the bottom of menuitems_mc.

15. Select any frame between 1 and 20 of the menuItems_mc, right click and selcet create motion tween.

16. Do teh same as step 15 on the layer of the white rectangle

17. select between frames of the layer white rectangle and MenuItems and in the property inspecos delect ease and drag it down to +100

18. select all the frames of MenuItem layer and drag them so that the first drame is on frame 21.

19. press F5 on frame 40 of all the other layers.

20. Add a new layer above all and name it actions.

21. select frame 40 and press F6, in the actions panel(F9) insert this code:

stop();

22. drag layer MenuItems above the layer which contains the white rectangle

23. Select "scene 1" to come vack to the main stage.

24. Select menu_mc and in the properties inspector for ann instance name write: menu_mc

25. Add a new layer and name it Menu Actions

26. Select frame 1 of Menu Actions layer and press F9 to open the actions panel.

27. type the following code:

menu_mc.onRelease = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

And this should work.

Tell me if it does not.

Cheers! :beer:

As for the 'crisp' images they are just how the pictures have been taken. Like what camera used and what lense used.

All those images on that site look like they are off a stock photo site.
