Slide-n-scale, slide-n-scale, slide-n-scale.

Sha-BANG! A rotating menu.

I do like the effects though - glowing, tweening, etc. Makes it look really good for something so simple. Sometimes it's the art over the code that makes something great.

One thing I'd advise changing is the ability to change my selection during the animation; I can cause the menu to get scrambled or lose functionality due to this.

eh...

yea its all coded, no timeline crap here. But I'm sure it's got possible bugs, but I made it in like an hour, maybie 2.

No time to even really play with till now when I get home.

But I just thought it was cool for the day, so I'd post it.

it is cool
the movement is a bit slow, and the texts should be changing when ever you click on a button. since the buttons change

good graphics!
well done

No - check the code. It's one-frame long and has three clickable regions which when clicked produce an animation using some simple math and advanced onEnterFrame calls.

The only thing I don't like about it is that right after you click something, when the other part replaces the old ones place, the glow just flashes, and doesn't stay put. Besides that, great.

yea, i see that too, its a simple fix, Ill probably be working on that this weekend, the project deadline was today and it had to go in as is.

But we get a few days for revue, so I should be able to get my hands on it again as we polish the rest up.

I'll post this project when its done. we made it in 3 days.
