hey, derbauer made that. they are located in my town. http://www.cosmicbear.de/icons/upsidedown.gif

i would create this type of button using a point_level-animation or a morph, render it with an alpha as single pics and then import them into photoshop to erase the background and then into flash to make the roll-over effect.

very clever people...love that effect....and once you know its so damn versatile! that site looks very slick....

not got any tuts...but couple of morph plugs on this site and now free thanks to this great guy.....give them a look may help sometime in the future....and don't forget to read the " !! " on the plugins menus....cos you know it makes sense!:thumbsup:

never used the morph plugins but i think you can use them for point and bones stuff...worth checking out even if not for this project.
