Flash-like menus for Wordpress?

hey, so I used to be big into flash cs4 and as2 back in the day. I'm still sort of able to find my way around a flash as2 project. I've been hired to make a wordpress site and I have figured out most of what it takes to install wodpress and edit the CSS etc. the basic stuff, but then i want to make somewhat "complex" tables with animated gifs and stuff (which i've been having trouble getting right), but I also would like to make it so that the buttons are animated vectors like they woulda been with flash (no audio syncing) but in a way where they'd work on most computers and most capable mobile devices.

who knows which tutorials i'd need for that?

Sounds like your best bet would be to learn how to use SVG and CSS3 animations. Here is a great place to learn about CSS3 animations. You'll find those lessons in the CSS section.

Chris Coyier over at CSS-Tricks has thoroughly explored using and animating SVGs, and has many great articles about it.

With the limited info you provided, I can't image exactly what you want to do, but check out the Snap SVG library and see if it won't help you.

You mentioned vector and flash, and those are the resources my mind jumped to.

fuck yes! i didnt even know css3 animation tricks even existed wtf tight!
