    Hi, just want to pick the brains of you flash pros out there.... Interested in doing something similar to this site.. www.72.com.au/.. just wondering about the navigation - im guessing it is a MovieClip controlled by the scrollRect command in Actionscript.. How would i also achieve the easing effect ie. how it slows down and eases into the final page.

    Anyway, if anyone could point me in the direction of a tutorial or even confirm what actioncript commands would be the best to use I would be very much greatful (i havnt been able to find any similar tutorials on the internet).

    Ease in effect is simple, every time when you increment the x or y coordinates, just add/subtract based on the difference between the destination x or y coordinates. something like this:

    currentX = currentX + (destinationX-currentX)/rate_of_increment;

    You might want to add in a limiting factor to stop the equation from going on infinitely (depends on your initial and rate values).

    it seems you have this sorted now, but i was going to say that there are built in easing functions in motion tween...

    Code:
    import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

var tw:Tween = new Tween(movieClip,"_y",Strong.easeOut,movieClip._y,NewPositon,NoOfSeconds,true);
    like that i think? youd need to double check syntax as thats off the top of my head...

    edit* forgot to say that this is of course AS2...
