scripted motion

[karen]

hi...

Can someone point me to a tutorial or help me out with how to get an effect similar to the one here:

http://www.webookbands.com

Look on the top navigation bar. When you mouse over a link, a black bar moves over to "hilight" the link....it's doing this with a nice smooth movement. I'm not concerned with the black bar resizing itself because I just want to use this effect to hilight boxes that are all the same size.

Thanks!!!

thanks...but I don't think that is going to work ...

In my case...I want the "hilight" to move to specific _x and _y not only linear.
sorry, should have stated that.


thought it was some kind of motion formula incorporated with a final _x & _y.
???

is there a reason you want use flash to do that? the effect can be accomplished very easily via javascipt and standard DOM/ dhtml methods - i can supply you with the script if you'd like - otherwise i'm new to/suck at flash/as so can't help ya
