I would love to know how http://deepend.co.uk have managed to make animate the text so slickly and how to create the roll over buttons within the animation as they have. can anyone help?

It's a high frames per second rate with an onClipEvent (enterFrame) loop running in the background. The loop checks for mouse position relative to the menu items and then zooms the appropriate items. Each item is just and MC with a series of buttons in it...

Shouldn't be too hard to achieve the effect.
Basically it's:

if ( _root._xmouse > _root.element1._x && _root._xmouse < _root.element2._x ) {
// Untoggle all other elements
// toggle menu element 1
}

Etc...

The toggles are done via looping setProperty actions I imagine.

Cheers

I don't have any advice, but have a question.

Is there a tutorial that teaches something like this?
I am not too good in actionscript and come from a design background not programming.

I would like to do an Interactive map using this type of interaction.

Thanks

What do you want to happen? You want the map to zoom up around the mouse?

Cheers

Jesse,
Yes I want the map to zoom around the mouse.

In deepend's web site, instead of the text [links] that zoom in on rollover, it will be certain parts of the world in a world map.

Nat, that effect would require each part of the world to be a separate MC. You're better off using the sort of method shown in the open source which I referenced on this post: http://www.actionscripts.org/forums/...?threadid=1094

Cheers

Jesse
