How did they do that?

[Dunny007]

I tried to replicate the effects in the navigation on this site: http://www.extremecreative.com

I am curious as to how they did the sub nav animations (Nav Items: Services and Company.) I tried to replicate this by making a button and creating a behavior for it to open an play a MC on Roll over then a seperate frame in the same MC on the roll out. But it only worked for the first instance quite the same. Any Ideas?

Why don't you show us the code you created so far and we'll help you from there?

I will also include the .fla


on (rollOver) {

//Movieclip GotoAndPlay Behavior
_root.roller1.gotoAndPlay("1");
//End Behavior

}
on (release) {

//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("http://www.macromedia.com","_self");
//End Behavior

}
on (rollOut) {

//Movieclip GotoAndPlay Behavior
_root.roller1.gotoAndPlay("21");
//End Behavior

}

There are many ways to do this, follwing is one solution.
put this in your "Home"-clip actions instead of your onRollOver and onRollOut events:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
_root.roller1.nextFrame();
} else {
_root.roller1.prevFrame();
}
}

And remove the last frames in "roller1" (21-40).

thanks this works like a charm. Will this work with multiple buttons on the same frame? The reason I ask is because I have experinced this in the past, having several buttons with the same features and some end up not working.....

[wintzell]

Yepp, it will. Just give the moving movieclip (roller1) a new instance name. "roller2" for example.

Cheers

how would I do the sub nav buttons? I got them to come out but they will not say for me to click on. "ow-sub1" is the sub nav MC.

I used the same code you (wintzell) provided.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
_root.roller2.nextFrame();
} else {
_root.roller2.prevFrame();
}
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
_root.mini2.nextFrame();
} else {
_root.mini2.prevFrame();
}
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
_root.ow_sub1.nextFrame();
}


else {
_root.ow_sub1.prevFrame();
}
}

on (release) {

//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("http://www.macromedia.com","_self");
//End Behavior

}
