hehe..you will probably laugh at this site but hey its my first attempt...and i mean first..

anyway as you see the arrows are just tweens that loop. i don't know as very well but what i want is when you mouse over the button the arrow takes a windy path to where the arrow ends up now...hope that makes sense...if anyone can help or would like too that would be cool

oh yeah and heres the .fla files if that help...

there all going to laugh at me...lol:toad:


i guess no fla file too big...something else i have to work on

What you need to do is make the arrows as Movie Clips.

Make the first frame of the Movie Clip blank and put a stop action in it ( stop(); ).

Then make your animation on the next frames.

Then on your button on the _root timeline. Have the onRollOver action go to your movie clip and play starting at the second frame.

<code>
myButton_btn.onRollOver = function () {
myMovieclip_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
</code>

In this code example myButton is the name of your button...and myMovieClip is the name of the arrow animation.

Good Luck :)
