Squeeze buttons aside

[neliy]

Hey there! I'm trying to create a menu with 5 buttons and I want it to make the following movement. At the time the mouse is over a button, the button will get bigger and squeeze aside the rest of the buttons. I found through a tutorial code that makes objects to move away form the mouse cursor and I was wondering if this would work in my menu, while seting a movie clip 4 each button in the over state? (the code includes mouse coordinates which I think is irrelevant with what I want to do) If not, any suggestions? Thnx

What do you man by "squeeze asaide the rest of the buttons"? is your menu vertical?

When I'm doing animated rollovers, I usually do this:

I make the main movieclip that hols the button states (off, over and sometimes a press state), inside that movieclip I put another movieclip with the text inside. So in the first movieclip I can animate the movieclip with the text in any way I want, then, in the main timeline I write the code for the buttons to work. Sounds a little complicated, but notice that I do this when I load the buttons dynamically from an XML file, so it's really easier.

Specify a little more about what you want and I'll help you.

good luck!
