Hey,
I want to be able to do what they have at this website

http://www.redletter9.com

and then click on tshirts, you see how they have it when you do a mouse over on an arrow the thing moves to the appropriate way. how do you do that? thanx

The easiest way to get this effect is to have the pictures of the shirts contained in a movieclip - a very long one ;-)

Select the shirts movieclip on the stage and put this code in the actions panel:

onClipEvent(load){
_root.move=0;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x+=_root.move;
}

The arrows are buttons with a little bit of code - if it points left have this:

on(rollOver){
_root.move=-2;
}
on(rollOut){
_root.move=0;
}

If it points right have this:

on(rollOver){
_root.move=2;
}
on(rollOut){
_root.move=0;
}

For the different sized arrows increase or decrease the value of _root.move accordingly.

That will give you the basic effect without "wrapping around" although what they're doing is quite a bit more complicated... Slainte
