transition panels?

[invisible7]

hi, i'm interested in creating sliding transition panels for menu items similar to those found on the below websites. My question is how these panels work from an actionscript point of view in terms of the very fast and clean motion dynamics and whether people think they are built into the main page or whether they load as part of the called swf.

any help greatly appreciated

make a search for "accordion menu" or "accordion" for the menu.
as for the smooth effect, search for "easing".
if you look in your temporary internet files, you can see that on the 24-7media.de website, the information is separate swf's (PORTFOLIO.swf, COMPANY.swf etc.)

so, that's how it's done!

btw, that's a good looking site! I like the fly!
