i was working on it.

I can give you some quick notes to get you started on some stuff.

1. Use a loader component for loading the content for menu choice.
2. Seeing that you have animation in all the menu options I wouild suggest making seperate movieclips for each section.

3. (Optional)You could raise the FPS from 15 to at least 24. or remove some of the frames of each section. That would make things go a little faster.

4. The menu animation would be in it's own MC and will animate once when any of the menu buttons is pressed at the beginning of your site. You can do this by setting a variable that will trigger the animation on any button if it is the first button pressed. Initially the variable will be set to false (menuPressed = false). then you would have the button run a checking function that will test if the menuPressed is set to true. If not it will run the menu animation and set the variable to true. If it is true then just load the section for the menu item selected.

5. Remove the attached actionscript from the buttons and put them on the main menu timeline in an actions layer after giving your buttons instance names.

The menu MC will have frame labels that will specify the menu animation and stop area (bottom, animate, top).


You can start off with those suggestions.
