What is this effect?

[papalazarou78]

Hi
I've got a new site to do where I need to scroll up and down a fishing rod. I have found a golf club site where they section the club into sections and when you click on a section it shoots to that part of the club.
The site is http://www.taylormadegolf.com/pickone/ (you then need to pick one of the clubs to see the effect).
I'm not expecting somebody to tell me how to do this, but I could do with knowing what this effect is described as, so that I can search forums or google it to find some info.
Of course if you do want to supply me with a basic file I wouldn't mind but any help is greatly received.
Thanks
Wayne

It's most likely a movie clip that is masked and when a button is clicked it animates to that section of the club.

That'd be the simplest way to do what you are seeing there.

Hi. Thanks for your responce. I managed to find some actionscript to create the effect/movement I was after. Thanks. Wayne.

Hi

This is the code I used to acheive the effect (thanks to neilmmm from actionscript.org for the code)

Code: Select all

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
golfClub1_mc.onRelease = function() {
	var club:Tween = new Tween(golfClub_mc, "_x", Regular.easeIn, golfClub_mc._x, 20, 3, true);
};
golfClub2_mc.onRelease = function() {
	var club:Tween = new Tween(golfClub_mc, "_x", Regular.easeIn, golfClub_mc._x, -230, 3, true);
};
golfClub3_mc.onRelease = function() {
	var club:Tween = new Tween(golfClub_mc, "_x", Regular.easeIn, golfClub_mc._x, -460, 3, true);
};
golfClub4_mc.onRelease = function() {
	var club:Tween = new Tween(golfClub_mc, "_x", Regular.easeIn, golfClub_mc._x, -700, 3, true);
};

I replaced the golfClub_mc for my rod, and then copied and pasted the 'var club...' line on each button and created a logo going the oppisite direction at a different speed.
