Thankyou for showing an interest in the VRLX website.


1. Thanks you for your compliments! : )


2. The scrolling images that are buttons is a Flash generator movie clip

with an instance created. Flash generator can create scrolling tickers. The

buttons within in the big generator mc - ticker - are buttons within mcs.


3. The spining globe is easy. Just put the globe animation in a mc and give

it an instance. Put a hotspot on top of the spinning globe mc and tell

target the globe animation to stop on rollover and play on roll out of the

hotspot.


I hope I have answered your questions.
