Slide to the next Button menu

[gunko2]

ok here u go, a guy named scotty from kirupa forum helped me put together this code....
just replace the code in the first frame that i gave u, to this one:

code:

---

var mSpeed = 7;

var mxT;

_root.mcArrow._x = mxT;

MovieClip.prototype.mMove = function(mxTarget) {

	this.onEnterFrame = function() {

		this._x += (mxTarget-this._x)/mSpeed;

		if (Math.abs(mxTarget-this._x)<1) {

			this._x = mxTarget;

			delete this.onEnterFrame;

		}

	};

};

for (nNum=1; nNum<=50; nNum++) {

	MC = _root["mc"+nNum];

	MC.onRollOver = function() {

		mcArrow.mMove(this._x);

	};

	MC.onRollOut = function() {

		mcArrow.mMove(mxT);

	};

	MC.onPress = function() {

		mxT = this._x;

	};

}

---

hope this helps....
again - if u have any questions - i'm here!

OH MY GOD!!!

Gunko, it is official, you have been granted super hero stardom in my books!

Thank you so much for this, it is exactly what I have been trying to do - you are amazing.

I have ammended the code to work on the y axis instead of x.
so now it looks like this:

var mSpeed = 4;
var mxT;
_root.mcArrow._y = mxT;
MovieClip.prototype.mMove = function(mxTarget) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._y += (mxTarget-this._y)/mSpeed;
if (Math.abs(mxTarget-this._y)<1) {
this._y = mxTarget;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
for (nNum=1; nNum<=50; nNum++) {
MC = _root["mc"+nNum];
MC.onRollOver = function() {
mcArrow.mMove(this._y);
};
MC.onRollOut = function() {
mcArrow.mMove(mxT);
};
MC.onPress = function() {
mxT = this._y;
};
}

I only have one problem. The starting postion (before any clicks) is now above the first button off the top of the page do I have to put in at the beginning declare a ypos on the McArrow something like: ypos = 20

I know this is asking alot but if you have time could you give me a quick explanantion of how this is working I understand a bit but would love to know what is going on. (perhaps some comments in the code?)

attached is my updated fla for you to see

sorry man but i get an unexpected format error....
and i don't really understand the problem....
u meant that the arrow (before pressing any button) always returns to the top?
if so then just change the value of mxT to what position u like it to slide to.... for example:

code:

---

var mxT = 200;

---

this will make the arrow slide to a y position of 200....
hope this helps....
