Question: Buttons have text appear above?

[jasonhalo133]

Hey guys I really appreciate all of you reading this:

Here's a perfect example of what I'm trying to replicate, just differently:

Balthaser Fx

Once their site actually loads after that awesome intro movie, When you roll over a link the word of what that link is or more options appear above it.. I've tryed so many things and can't seem to replicate this... I've tryed different actionscripts i've found in the definitive guide. I tryed to troubleshoot it but couldnt quite figure it out. If anyone could please help in anyway thank you!

BTW I'm using Flash MX not 2004.. A little steep for me right now Got a great deal on MX a year ago. Also should I upgrade? Thanks!

A simple movie clip playing on rollover and stopping on rollout

Heh thanks for the reply, but here's the thing:

Lets thake it step by step:

1st off when you roll over the button is zooms in.. I know how to do standard buttons, but I've forgotten how to make a button outside of the regular button menus. Do i basically create a motion tween on the Over box and have it zoom in slightly? I"m not going for this effect just like theirs but I'm curious as to how I would do that.

2ndly: When you do roll over the button the words kinda of tween into a line? I don't know exactly But i can't make it to as fast as theirs does. I like how their speed is set.. .I can't seem to get mine to pop up like theirs.. Any tips?

3rd of all: the movie they create when you click on a link to where the background fades and does it's thing: Here's my perdicament:

I have an image I'm using... What type of actionscript code would I use to have it fade to like 30% opacity every time someone clicks a link. Also when someone clicks the link i want a box to pop up with the text with the movie type in the background still running...

Thanks guys

Use movie clips instead of buttons for your buttons.

Let me know if you need more info.
