Its a great effect and will make a great plugin. I love it. Are you hard-coding the easing or allowing options?
I saw a little bit of strangeness in the first load, when only the right-side of the button showed up. One suggestion. Use a button sprite to have the caps and the body as part of the same image. That way it would load all at once. Nice work! Glen On 8/14/07, Ganeshji Marwaha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > wow, u guys overwhelm me ;-).
