Thanks Glen... I am not hardcoding the easing effects. That is an option for the user.
About the button being 2 different images. Yes, i understand, that it isn't very professional that way. They are the images of the original author though and i don't have too much expertise creating images... any help from an expert like u will be sincerely appreciated. But, don't get me wrong... i know u r busy too... So, if you can't do it i will understand, and will try to roll out my own pretty soon... -GTG On 8/14/07, Glen Lipka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Its a great effect and will make a great plugin.
