Moving Slices (I think) ?

I have started to design my PS6 website but need some advice about how to get something to move from position x to y

have a look at this pic Here

what I want is a round edged button to come out of the pipes on left so they are completely visile on rollover of mouse by the end of the pipe ??

is it possible and is there a relitively easy way to do it as this is my first ever PS project apart from 1 Tutorial

you cant make animation and mouse over with photoshop, but you can use imageready who is photoshops animation program.
Take a look at it its quite simpel. Find a tutorials on how to make animation i think u can find one here, then u are one your way.

I would go for Flash for that.... Opens more possibilities overall, if you choose to design that kind of movement in the site......

I agree w/ Paavo...If you want it to look smooth and leave your options open as far as animation goes...Flash is your best bet. Couple of notes though. If the navigation only rolls out on mouseover, thats what I refer to as mystery meat navigation. Customer/Visitor doesnt know what they're getting until they take a proverbial bite. It's also confusing and probably will frustrate first time visitors (especially w/ slow connections) to wait for the swf to load before they know what the site is even all about. Ok....enough about that....If you do decide to do this w/ Flash....I'd recommend redrawing all the pipes as vectors to keep the swf load time down...Hope this info helps.

thanks for the advice

can you convert the pipes as they stand into vectors or is it a case of a complete redo?

the image you can see is just a jpg to show the look I still have the psp file for editing

You can convert the images of the pipes into vectors if you'd like...But I'd recommend redoing them...You'll get more accurate results and a smaller file size that way.

thanks again a major rethink in order :(

That's always the hardest part Coming up w/ the concepts that will work well and be functional and look good at the same time....Doing it is the easy part ;)
