macromedia flash sitedesign:
i've seen flash sites where they create a visual effect to move into a section
of a web stie, and then when you click out of it, the effect reverses back to
where it was.

is there a script for this?

no, your basically looking at a lot of tweening. Calling MovieClips and other
things to make it look like that, there is no simple little action to do
something like that, other than. on (release) {
this.gotoAndPlay('close-frame'); } things to call movieclips end.play();
There are a lot of factors, all of which take time to develop.

thanks stevo...i figured as much but was hoping there was a different solution.

so regardless of what frame you are on with a loaded movie in that frame...you
have to somehow reverse that action using tweening before the movie you clicked
on loads.

see that's where it gets me. if you have 3 different links of which you can
click on and you can click on them at any time while a different movie/frame is
loaded, how can you always put that reverse action into place?

aha, that's where it gets tricky, you have to be creative, If I where to do
something like that I would go about it by making a movieclip for every option
there was to clicking out of it, you really only need to make one movieclip
then duplicate it so your not redoing work. You just looking at a hard days
work in flash and long development time. One thing to keep in mind is, the
better it looks the harder it is to do ;-). I have often thought about this
before, If I ever think of a better solution, I'll be sure to share :-)
