Various button/image hover over methods

Here's 4 different methods to highlighting buttons using transparency effect, multiple animations or multiple objects, images & conditions. these methods could be applied to any object really especially the transparency method which would be good for ghost characters

I'm working on a detailed step by step for it which will be available via my forum when I'm done

Looks interesting but the link is broken

of course: it's from my old web server which I haven't renewed. It was nothing special anyway. It was just different ways of adding/showing menu buttons.

1. fade in/out single image for each.
2. use multiple images & conditions to show active, inactive buttons.
3. use single animation with multiple frames containing the various states.
etc.
