Interface help

[Baby-Flashgod]

I was really wondering how in fact you create an interface so when a button is clicked a door closes and opens to reveal it's content? kind of like 2A..estudio and fantasy interfaces? whats happening when the doors close and so fourth? PLEASE HELP..

motiontween the doors
make both keyframes: when the door is closed then when de door is full open: and then when the door is closed again
like this:

close----------open-------------close
(stop) (stop) (stop)

put this mc in front of your text on the main stage

give it an instance name (for exemple: "door")

then make a button with the following code

on (release){
    _root.door.gotoandplay(1);
}

make a close button

on (release)
   _root.gotoandplay(15);
}

hope it helps?

Hello just stop by and read your suggestion here. May I ask you something please? What is _root anyway? cant it be just door.gotoplay(1)

Thanks

_root is refering to the main timeline
idd: door.blabla works also
maybe, cause the second one, it's a relative pad
you know what I mean?
