does swish have this menu effect?

[Off Top]

Run your mouse up and down this menu:

I know the scaling of the items can be done easily... but what about the ability to have the "Over State" sprite still playing, even after you take your mouse off it?

I'm trying to create a fluid, continuous menu effect, but the Over State sprite stops playing the moment I take the cursor off. This makes it impossible to create an effect like this. I thought about creating labels after a stop button, but it would have the same limitation.

Any ideas?

Hi Off Top

Go to:

Go to the bottom of the page and look at "Jelly."

Could something like this be modified for your needs?

you can just insert text aand make a shape or image increase and decrease to your liking and then time a little flash or some other little zing effect to show up and do what you want when you want, i dont think there is a specific effect, but im not positive

Hi jwr, it's not so much the effect I'm interested in. It's the ability to get a sprite in a button to continue playing, even after the cursor passes it.

Hi ddunn... I'm still using 2. I have a few clients' sites in development, but I'll check out Max the first chance I get.

Like I said in my original post, if you use the label method to "time an effect," it will stop playing as soon as another button is over.


Maybe I wasn't too clear in my first post.

Let's say I create a link called "Home" and set label 1 to expand and contract 4 times. Then I set an action over Home, like "on mouse over, go to label 1." Then I create a "Contact" link and set a label 2 for it. If I set up a list of links and corresponding labels, the labels won't continue after another button is moused over, because another label will be activated. When you run your mouse over Contact, the Home sprite (at label 1) will stop playing because the movie will jump to label 2.

I couldn't find the exact ripple effect for the text, but I think this is close ... made in V2.
