Sliding Menu

[clash_laine]

I am looking for a way to slide the flash across and back on the click of a button. For an example http://www.bu.edu/. When you click on a word, it slide all to the left across and keeps the remaining on the right, click it again it sends it back. I haven't found a tutorial on any site that really adressed this action. Any ideas?

ok... press F1 and read about tweens...
When you master that you can put an onRelease event to each button along with a "flag" variable check in order to see the current button position. If the flag is "left" you should go right and so on...

say ...


var is_the_button_left:Bollean = true;

button1.onRelease = function()
{
if (is_the_button_left == true)
{
// tween the button to the right
is_the_button_left = false;
}
else
{
// tween the button to the left
s_the_button_left = true;
}
}


I assume that you must tween, along with the buttons, some masks in order to hide or show the various elements and some other buttons too..

Cheers,
