Re: FLASH: dynamic navigational system

[Sarah Lamont]

Michael,


You could achieve an effect like this pretty easily using tell targets.

You just make each square a movie clip of a growing then shrinking box,

and you put a stop action in the middle (and at the beginning of

course). Put invisible buttons over these tell target movies and use the

tell target command for on mouse over. 

I know that my explanation leaves alot to be desired...so I'll give you

a helpful URL where you can learn about tell targets if you need help

with those:

That's to Flash Bible. 

HOpe that helps...!
