Tool bar

[Bloodshot]

Hey i was wondering if anyone knew how to insert actionscriping in a tool bar like the one above, so that it will fold out when the mouse goes over it and fold back in when the mouse is off it.
Thanks

OK since imagestation is fuckin gay u can't see the image, but what i mean is that all the buttons are stack on top of each other and when the mouse goes over them, they slide out to the right.

imageshack.ws is also pretty good

but anyways you're going to put the folding out part in the "over" part of the button. (Insert it as a movie clip and put the animation of the fold-out in the movie clip)(Also be sure to put "stop();" in the end of the movie clip

put in hit and down area the finished part of the fold out so that you can click on each one seperatly

also, make sure each one is its own button
In this way each one can link to its own place

but this is just speculation and it may be wrong

Thanks mate but i still am a bit confused. I ain't very good at actionscriping.

make a movieclip of the thing that you want it to start with (without your mouse over it, in your case it would be "home". then double click that and on the over make a motion tween or something where gallery and contact go. make each one its own button and at the end of the tween put in stop();

i hope this help, but it probably doesn't

i think thats gibberish
unless you mean that the bar should fold out automatically
but he wants it to only fold out when the cursor is over it

ill have a turtorial up in a sec

yeah, after re-reading over my post i realize that what i wrote doesn't make sense at all. good luck writing your tutorial

aight
after a few attempts I'm still trying to get the toolbar up and running
there a few bugs to work out

maybe have it up in a couple days

Thanks a lot mate.

aight here its is:
I have yet to test this as my flash has been down for a bit but anyways:

First, in your library make a button.
(This button will look like what your menu looks like before it opens.)
Next make a movie clip of the three menu things folding out.
In the movie clip make sure each of the "items" is its own button.
On each button but the actionscript:

on (release) {
(I believe you put your website here that you want it to go to, ask Hery to be sure)
}


anways, in this way each one will have its own link
(also, put:
stop();
at the end of the movie clip so that the bar will stay out)

next put this movie clip into the "over" portion of the very first button you made
in the "down" portion put what the bar looks like all folded out
in the "hit" portion of the button put the same thing that you did for the "down" portion

(if you don't know where these "portions" are:
1. double click the original button
2. you will see it in the timeline)

and that's that

once again... dreamweaver and flash are 2 completely different pairs of shoes.

That and Flash got NOTHING to do with HTML. It just happen to be useful for online applications.

Dreamweaver and Flash have about as much as common as Dreamweaver and Photoshop. They are all owned by Adobe. You make Pics in Photoshop and put them into the html file using Dreamweaver. You make Flash files in Flash and put them into the html file using Dreamweaver. Period.


so to make it short -

yes.
