Moving things with AS????

[jasonhardwick]

I have a question and i hope you can help me.

I have a page that has 4 buttons at the bottom the buttons act as tabs when you click on one the tab pulls up a window I need the window to slide back down once another button is clicked I tried to work this out but have had no luck. just hoping you could help.

the trouble is in the "Bottom Menu MC"

There are a few ways to achieve this but let's go with the way you've started. One thing you have to do is put a stop(); on the last frame of the mc so it doesn't keep looping. Makes me seasick with the boat and all :)

Then you would create another section after the stop where the mc slides back down. Use a frame label so it's easy to refer to it from your button. Your button function should then end up saying something like:

this._parent.gotoAndPlay("downAnimation"); //or whatever your frame label is


So, your "Bottom Menu MC" should have a section where it animates upward and stops. Then another section where it animates back down and resets.

Well this issue I have is after the movie loads I want the buttons when clicked to move up into position when you click another "Tab" the old tab slides down as the new tab slides up the motions should work at the same time... but i cant even get one tab to move. any ideas?

ps: Sorry about the stop.

I have a similar code in my file but it doesn't seem to work because it is in a movie clip I don't know if that is my problem.

Just really need to figure this out.

you could try something like 'onRollout(rewind =='true') ' or something. Try the tutorial on advanced rollovers, that might help.
