Help making links

Hi

On www.jamesmorrisonmusic.com, how do you make effect on the links - bouncy effect, and the change in colour effect. If you need actionscript, what is it? Thanks for the help.

Maybe it's timeline effects, I'm not sure. You can do this with Flash 8, when you change the easing of an interpolation in flash, you can draw a custom easing curve. Click on the frame wich has been interpolated, then in the properties, click on "edit" (the button near "acceleration").

If you want to do it with actionscript, I recommand you the fuse class (http://www.mosessupposes.com/Fuse/). It's quite simple, just choose a preset and a clip to apply and it's done !

I think it's a timeline animation, but it could certainly be done either way.
You wouldn't need any easing scripts IMO, it doesn't appear to accel/decel to me.

If you wanted to timeline it, it would be as simple as a rollOver script or hitTesting the link areas to activate the animation.
If you wanted to do it dynamically it would be pretty easy too.
You'd just have it move over a few pixels on rollover, display a duplicate clip on top of itself in another color, then animate a mask dragging across the dupe text.
