ok, i've got a few of questions for your brains, I really hope you can help me out...(again)

ok, first problem:

my 'website' *cough* http://www.geocities.com/enterthefog well you can probably see the hideous purple border around the images on the index...why??? I can't see anything in the source that would be causing this to happen, everything else is 'fine' as fine goes.

2nd problem:

this isn't so much a problem, it's just a fault with my brain.
it's to do with Flash5 (MX out in 4 days!!!!) anyway, how do I make buttons with motion? I can only make up/over/down/hit(whatever) but they're only single images, I think it would be cool to have some funky looking all singing all dancing flash buttons, doted around the pag.

3rd problem:

Photoshop, I love this program, I really do, it can fool the eye many times over, it's amazing with fireworks, importing exporting yadda yadda....

anyway, my so called problem is, i've seen loads of cool images with lines going through them, it's kinda hard to explain, i'm sure someone (at least one person) must be slightly insane and know what I mean.
it's just a simple effect, no idea how i'd be able to do it normally, i've checked most of the effects already, downloaded a few more, but nothing seems to get it right, I'm thinking it might only work in PS6, if it does, it's a stupid program. :p

thanks in advance for ANY help.

Not sure about MX, as obviously, I don't have it. But, with Flash5, you can't create a motion event, unless you use actionscripting as a way of onmouseover and tell it to go to a certain frame when it does so.

Just plonk a movie clip inside the button at whatever state you want it. It should move when it's displayed.

Your 1st problem is pretty easy to solve, add border="0" to your img tag.

2nd problem, dont know anything about Flash, sorry.

3rd problem, I've done this in the past by having whte lines across the image with a transpaency on them. Might be an easier way I dunno. Also, I only ever use Fireworks, so I'm not farmiliar with PSP.

Hope that helps.
