How would I go about making the navigation bar rollover at, www.northface.com?

thanks

What exactly are you after? Be more precise, please.

(downloading various patches, spending the time browsing the forums.. :-/)

when you go into the site, click on North America, then at the Navigation bar at the top where it says mens, womens, youth, footwear, packs

Ah yes..

Well, one simple way of doing that would be to make Movie Clips out of those links and then on the their timeline create tweens about what you would like it to do when you do a rollOver on them. So on rollOver it would go to the beginning of the animation - say, named "animation" -frame - and start playing. On rollOut you'd command it to go to the frame where the static graphics are located.

So:

on(rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay("animation");
}
on(rollOut) {
this.gotoAndStop("static");
}
on(release) {
// whatever or wherever you want it to go to..
}

Mind you, this is just one way of doing it. You also can play around with doing the visual effects with script, but I think the way I just explained is the easiest for now. Then again, I'm just a beginner in Flash. :)

If youre just looking for the animation effect itself its a simple
motion tween achieved by doing a simple rectangle same size
as button which expands from middle of picture and that starts with
100% alpha and goes down to probably 30% alpha.
Sorry if this was not answer to your question Im just a newbie trying to help ;)

[rrmcguire]

so basically do something like

on the rollover state of the button alpha tween it to 30 percent?

how again do you do tweens on buttons, or is it easier to do it with script?

thanks everyone.

[rrmcguire]

would it work to make the rectangle then f8 make the button, and

do

on (rollOver) {
mission._alpha = 30;
}

where mission is the name of the button. Then when you roll off the rectangle it goes back to the original 100%?

thanks
