Roll Over text effect

[[e-mail]]

Hi I am trying to achieve an Flash menu the same (or very similar) as the one
featured on this website:- http://www.goldfrapp.co.uk/ it looks very simple and
I am sure it is but I am still a bit of a virgin when it comes to Flash so any
help would be fantastic.
Cheers

The menu is basically a movieclip that contains buttons. When you move your
mouse into the bottom area of the stage, that triggers the display of the menu
movie.

This could be done either by monitoring the y position of the mouse or by
having a movieclip along the bottom that has a rollover assigned to it, but no
buttonMode effect assigned to it.

When you move your mouse out of the lower area of the stage, it triggers the
hiding of the menu.

Can this not be achieved by adapting the text in Flash, is the example I provided not xml ?

There's no telling if xml is used, though I doubt it. There does not appear to be any need for it to be dynamically created--just fixed menu options.

When you use the Network Timeline in Cruz browser it breaks the website down and when you look into the code it shows this:-
Loading Image...

Dont know if this helps any.

I don't know what that Cruz thing does, so I couldn't tell you why it's
producing html code for those menu items. It is possible it uses xml, but does
it really matter? If anything, that would only define the content of the
buttons, not how they are made interactive. What really matters is what you
want to do, and it is possible that it's overly complicated for your needs to
begin with. The explanation I gave is the simplest approach I can think of to
create something just like it in Flash.
