Could you please give me a clue how I could realize that in your menu?

Greate tutorial Well written and presented. If any body is interested, I’ve converted this example’s ActionScript 2.0 code to ActionScript 3.0. Just replace existing code with the following:

// Startup code
contents.stop();
var numberOfTabs:int = 4;
Initialize();

// Initialize tabs
function Initialize() : void
{
// Add a Click event handler for each tab
for (var i:int = 1; i <= numberOfTabs; i++)
{
var tab:Object = getChildByName(“tab” + i);
tab.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, tablClickHandler);
}

// On startup, make the first tab active
tab1.bottomLine.visible = false;
}

// Handle the Click event on a tab
function tablClickHandler(evt:MouseEvent) : void
{
// Get tab that was clicked
var tab:Object = evt.target

// Show bottom line for all tabs (bottom line for
// clicked will be processed after this loop)
for (var i:int=1; i <= numberOfTabs; i++)
{
this["tab" + i].bottomLine.visible = true;
}

// Now unhide bottom line for clicked tab and show its contents
tab.bottomLine.visible = false;
var frameNo:int= Number(tab.name.substr(3, 1));
contents.gotoAndStop(frameNo);
}

Hi,

I want to incorporate this tabs into my company’s website.
Thinking of using these tabs for the banner part, whereby clicking on a tab will shows a different set of banner.
This is my idea:
I will have 4 tabs, clicking on each of them will give me a different banner.
However,each banner is with 3 photo transitions effect. Is it possible?

How do I go about doing it? Will really appreciate your help!! =)
