which transition, exactly (i quickly browsed the site and saw 3 different ones).

im talking about how the square with the menu's content in it fades out and then shrinks, and another square fades in and grows with content from a different link from the menu. i can do this without using actionscript, but i would like to know how to do it using actionscript.

-thanks

Well, you don't. It uses an mc, wich holds the different menuitems. This mc is placed inside anoth mc, with an animation in the layer ontop of the layer where the menuitems mc is held.
The animation is just a the square being animated.

Everytime you press a button, the animation is started. When the animation is over, the menuitem in the menuitems mc is changed and it brightness is changed in a motion tween. You can set the brightness in the advanced settings. Fill the right boxes (except the alpha) with 255.

It's that simple.

I didn't use a motion tween to do it, actally. But it's much easier doing it with one.

if you didnt use a motion tween how did you do it?
