This is the last post for the ultra strechy elastic menu. What was buggy in the last post was that the animation rollOut state was too fast.  If the user rolled over all the buttons real fast everything would mess up.  What we need to add...

Time has come to add rollover action on our menu. What was lacking in my last 4 posts concerning the stretchy elastic menu was the rollOver state.  The reason I did not include it was the confusion I wanted to avoid.  This delicate addition...

By changing the initial movie clip properties of the last post, you can get the menu to open up small litte squares or rectangular shapes. Simply change the values of the line: clip.tw = 200; // target widthclip.th = 200; // target height

Its time to make this elastic menu elastic!  The last post was created a basic stretch menu and now we add the mathematical equation that makes it all go boing. //distance = (target-current)/speed * speedRatio + oldDistance * friction//current...

In my last post I explained how one movieclip property can affect the other one and so forth to create a stretchable menu.  In this example, I make the color switch by using the following line of code: // make growing orange(clip == growingItem)...
