How do you do a sliding menu?

[kelvinblade]

I am trying to make a sliding menu but I am not sure how to tween the group to slide.

 

this.menuGroup = game.add.group();

this.menu = game.add.sprite(game.world.centerX, game.world.height, 'menu');

this.menuGroup.add(this.menu);

this.menuCloseButton = game.add.sprite(game.world.width, game.world.centerY, 'menuCloseButton');

this.menuGroup.add(this.menuCloseButton);

this.menuCloseButton.events.onInputDown.add(this.removeMenu, this);

 

game.add.tween(this.menuGroup._container).to({y: game.world.centerY}, 300).start();

 

 

It gave me an error saying y doesn't exist for menuGroup.

 

1) Is this the correct way to do a sliding menu?

 

2) Also is it possible to group the text labels into the menu group as well?

 

Thanks in advance. Any help is appreciated.

I think you have to use

game.add.tween(this.menuGroup.position).to({y: game.world.centerY},300).start();

I've built a sliding menu myself, but have not used _container.
