how can i do that ....

[blah-de-blah]

what you mean when you rollover the box moves away so you can't click on the button!?

well thats what happens if you make the box move when the mouse moves over it :-\ Theres not really a solution apart from changing the idea :-\

[cool blue]

OK!!! thankx......
a lot for ur help.
but wat i want is

OnMouseOver

the button moves down
( now in that there r few links like history, planning...etc)
but as soon as i try to click on any of the links the buttons moves up....)

now i have tried using on release but since u have use and invisible button. it stays on that same position when taking ur mouse over it.

how can i move that invisible button with the mAIN functioning button........

[blah-de-blah]

sorry i'm not too sure what you're trying to say?!

Are you saying the links dont work or something!?

[cool blue]

I HAVE GOT IT ...not so perfect but this is wat i want.

If u can enhance it a bit then i would be glad.

I MEAN...THERE U FIND THE BUG....PLZ CAN U HELP ME IN THAT

THANKX

[blah-de-blah]

thats because you don't have any seperate code for the actual 'links'. THey all are targetting the BIG BOX thing....you should make each link a new movieclip and give each their code...

[cool blue]

i did not get wat ur tring to say....
different code for each link....
wat code?
r u saying that the code for the box should be applied to the button!!!!

if yes!!! then when i will click the link it will move, regardless to the box...

if no!!! then plz specify....

THANKX

[blah-de-blah]

half yes half no....
yes in that a code should be applied to each link...and no in that not the SAME code should be applied as the one used in the box...A different one should be used....
This code should be the one which makes the box move back up. I dont really undertssand your code as it is really unorganized (for me), so i can't rally help you there. BUT if you understand what i'm saying, it shouldn't be hard for you...

[cool blue]

I know its unorganized.
but when ever if u have time, for me .....plz do me this favour.
i will be greatfull to u ??
cos now u know what i want, and been good in script i think u can help me out in a proper way!!!

I will aso definatly try. and post it as soon as i get it.

thankx....

[blah-de-blah]

I will try in a few minutes, but i'm not too sure of your code so it mite not work :-\

[cool blue]

U MADE IT!!!
but i still cannot understand the script....
will try to underestand....

but a MILLION thanks to u

thankx

[blah-de-blah]

Which part don't you understand i'll help you :) oh yea, you have to make sure the registration point is at the bottom, and you have to change the initialy value depending on your thing....

So if you click on the object, it will tell you the y value at the start. Just put this as your 'initialy' value get it?!

[cool blue]

Iam so SORRY, the above text what u have explained me, beliveme its like chines for me.
plz dont mind, but with all repected u r tooo good in scripting.
and iam just a 5 day old in scripting.

hope u dont mind.
and the script what is in the menu i got some part of it, i am doing through the flash help and trying to understand it.

if i dont then will u help me out???

THANKX

[blah-de-blah]

yeea if you don't understand anything i will tell you, but check through flash help first :)

[cool blue]

OK!!! here it goes....
I guess iam on the right track...else get me on right track


newy = _root.box._y*1.5;

(Asigning a vaiable nemy, in that the box`s y corrodinate is multipled with 1.5)

Question: Why do u multiply by 1.5


MovieClip.prototype.ymovement = function() {

(MovieClip.prototype - moving the box in y direction which is asigned to a function)

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
( the current object, on enter frame is asigned to a function)

movement = movement*0.7+(newy-this._y)/7;

( variable movement assigned to a formula)

Question : what does this formula does???

this._y += movement;
(current object from y corrodinate + movement = movement...this must be to move the menu)

};
};

MovieClip.prototype.rollback = function() {

(MovieClip.prototype - moving the box in backward direction which is asigned to a function)

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

( the current object, on enter frame is asigned to a function)


var initialy = 48.4;
(variable has initialy value =48.4)
Question : y 48.4?

from here confused.
i mean how it works

( can we deburg and see which function or line is running while running tehj program)
var finaly = this._height + initialy
this._y -= 10;
if (this._y<=finaly) {
this._y = finaly;
}
};
};

thankx

[blah-de-blah]

Question: Why do u multiply by 1.5

because if we multiply by too much the rollout function will always take place, get it?! Because the box is only so big, so if it goes toooo low, then that means the mouse has 'rolled out', therefore the box will go back upwards.



Question : what does this formula does???


THis formula i got from the slide menu tutorial, it gives the box an easing movement, as well as the springy thing. Change the values 0.7 and 7 to see...



Question : y 48.4?


I said this in the post before, but i will say it again since you din'dt understand. We need the initial 'y' value of the box to see how far it rolls back. Therefore, if you click on the box before anything happens, you will see the 'y' value is 48.4. So in your initial value, the value = 48.4.

And basically you will see i have 2 functions. When the mouse rolls over the box, function ymovement takes place. When it rolls out, function rollback takes place. Get it?! :)

thankx u ??
