i found this,

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/vid...ngMCbuttons.htm

was wondering is there any other method similar to these? coz the one dat i found is kindda "mafan"

pls help..thanx in advance

lolz.......yes it does look very mah fan.......but that's the normal way to do if you want to do animating buttons. However you don't really need to use Movieclips unless you need animation for mouse out and mouse down and stay state. If you need those 2 effects....then this is the only way....i can assure you. I can only cut short that guy's method a bit which is the changing colour part. You don't really need to convert that part to a symbol and have a tint. If you only want to have tweening colour effect you can just select the vector and choose a shape tween instead of a motion tween.

sorry dude...not much short cut unless you pay some cash and get external components which does everything for you....

mafan means leceh ah?

i agree with whitetower.. that is the way of creating good animated button.. unless if u want to do simple.. just go into the button symbols... got 4 place rite, up over down and hit.. so at frame over.. u can just put a movie clip .. that way when u over the mouse it has an animation but not as good as movie clip button that u see.

nonono, not really, using movie clip as button is way more easy to control

let say u hv 10 buttons in movie clip, u can put all their action script in one frame, while is 10 buttons in button symbol, huhu, have to assign one by one

yeah, is more advance to create movie clip as button

agree.. in terms of scripting and accessibility and time management.. creating movie clip button seems difficult but worth it.. but for beginner... creting one by one would be a boring but easy to understand ( in my experience la )

if want more easy.. use function in frame script that the easiest way to do but yet .. maybe it's hard depend on the user..

junkieG - tryla creating movie clip button.. u'll see the differences.

anyway junkieG.....you only need to do the mah fan thing once and if you designed it properly.....it can be reused for the same thing over and over again in the future....so you need not create it every single time. in the future you can just swap the symbols and it'll work nicely.....

i got 25 button here...i doubt it can be as same as dragNdrop from library style...coz i tried it and it wont work...sigh

*each button is different lenght//

will post it here when im done..i got like 2 hours to complete it...

regards n thanx for the advice to evryone

25 buttons and each different length.. 0.0 i salute..

i think the best would still be create all the 25 MCs then just place an invisible button on them with a created function for all of em in the stop(); frame.

like i said.....if u designed it to be more dynamic.....it can be modified very easily. Take for example based on the tutorial video that u've shown...and all that you wanted was to change the button text and the width....the rest remains the same, i could probably do 25 buttons in 15 minutes.

If it was more dynamic using code.....I could probably do it in 5 minutes for 25 buttons.

yes use code for it,

then pass variable like button name and link to generate the button.
in this way, no need to waste time rewrite many rollover/rollout script

erkkk...u guyz, it would be better if u guyz like include sum tutorial so dat not only me but everyone else too will appreciate ur kindness

n'ways done the hard way here

um using table...css is under learning process...

so as u can see, i want my button to stay there, but when the user click it, the table content will change meaning not the whole page...

can it be done?

u should use IFRAME, set a name for it, and in your <a> tag put target as the iframe name..

ya...klesk is right..you can probably use iframes...it will only load the iframe that you hv assigned and not the whole page..but somehow..there's a flaw in iframe which if someone google or yahoo to search for ur page...probably it will only load the iframe page into the search..which will turn out to be pretty cacat...i still don't know anyway that i can get rid of it

wut frame rate u use??? IMHO u should use faster animation to smooth the blinking..

the button u wanna create maybe something like the attachment..
yes. u hav to use iframe for create web like the one u said..

getURL("whatyouwantoload.htm", "the I frame");
}
