Can anyone tell me how to create the menus that are animated on this page?

If you put your mouse over the pictures, you will see them.

I still don't see it.... :(

Is it flash? Cause I don't have flash installed.

If not, a picture highlighting what you're referring to would be useful....

there are three pictures with text that says "social responsibility, our products, health matters"--
if you move your mouse over these pictures, you will see a text description scroll up that is animated.

Oooooh yeah, that's flash - that's why I can't see it.

But yeah, there's your answer, they're using flash :P I have no idea how...I have no knowledge of flash. I'll have to leave it there...and maybe let someone more knowledgeable about flash step in...

If not, you might be better off asking on a flash forum, if they even exist.

Well, I would know how to do that in Flash, but isn't there a way to do it with script so that people like you (without Flash plugin) can just view it?

Well, I still don't know what it does since I can't see it :P

But chances are you can do something similiar with javascript.

Basically, javascript animations involve the use of the setTimeout() function, which calls a function that modifies the style of a particular element, which gives the effect of animation.

You can probably find a tutorial on google to do it, although I can't point you to a specific one since I don't know what the menu does.

Good luck!
