Any ideas how to do a menu like this?

[BeauJangles]

I'm doing some web design for a department here on campus and so far they've asked me to do things that are pretty easy (CSS template for their site with some background php running it). Anyway, they just wanted to know if I can create them a menu like the one seen here: http://goredsea.com/. I have no flash experience. I was thinking I could do it with rollovers but I don't really know if that is the best solution.

My brain is also pretty fried from finals, so anybody have ideas?

Thanks

im going to assume you mean the map with the links that rollover highlighting spots on the map?
create an image map of the image with hot spots over the words, possibly slicing it up a bit to allow for faster loading...when mouse over word swap image for an animated gif that shows the spot "highlighting"

haha yeah, that would work too.

Thanks, my brain hurts.

The rollover idea would be the only other way i see it as well without flash.

But I don't think it will be that hard in flash, so you can learn it as a starter if you got sometime. But if you have a deadline, use the map hehe.

Please don't use flash for something like this. The site you linked to is using the hover css pseudo-class to specify the look of links while the mouse is over them. There is no need to use images unless you need to radically change the look of the button.
