Re: FLASH: navigation idea

[Chris Wiggins]

Natalia,


You need to make your rectangles into movie clips, and use the 'duplicate

move clip' action. Put a button in each movie clip with an action to

duplicate the clip on rollover to a level higher than the other two (you'll

need to use a variable for the level and increase its value each time to

guarantee that the new duplicate is always put on top).


Since you're not trying to let users drag the objects around, there's no

need to remove the old clips (although keep in mind that if you're using

alpha on the rectangles then the rectangles will get increasingly less

transparent as the copies pile up -- so if you want to use transparency you

WILL need to remove the old copies). If you're removing the old copies, keep

in mind that you can't remove the originals so you'll just turn visibility

off on the originals to hide them.


Hope that helps.
