Hey Flash Gurus,
I am new to Flash Action Scripting and I would love some advice. I am trying to mimic an awesome http://mediumbold.com/mainStage.html

I like the navigation and the buttons at the bottom. The way the arrow rolls over one button but yet can find the spot. I wanted to create this same effect but I have no idea on how to do it.

I have enclosed my "trial" or "example" site. I would REALLY appreciate some input on my action script and how to do it.

Hey turtlepd, welcome to the board :)

Looking at their bottom navigation I'm thinking that what they've done is created the text links as movieclips, then basically animated the line moving, and if the mouse rollovers a word it plays the corresponding arrow animation (e.g. gotoAndPlay(5)).

I could be wrong, but at a quick glance I'd say that is it.

I'm sorry if the explination goes over you head, I wasn't too sure of your knowledge of flash so I didnt want to be too patronising.
