Create an action menu with smart animate in Figma

Today we’re going to show you how to make an action menu in Figma.

- Start with 4 buttons (56p x 56p). Change the color of the add-new button and rotate the plus icon 45 degree
- Select all buttons and apply auto layout (Shift + A)
- Set spacing between items to 24 and rename the auto layout frame to “action-menu”
- Turn the frame into a component
- Add new variant, and rename variants to “active” and “default” respectively, “property 1” to “state”
- Select the add-new button of the default variant, and change its color back to yellow and set the plus icon rotation back to 0 degree
- Update the spacing between items so the buttons overlap (since each button are 56p tall, set the spacing between items to -56 will them overlap one another perfectly)
- Select the add-video, add-photo and add-post buttons in the default variant, and set pass through to 0%
- Switch to prototype mode
- Connect the default variant to the active variant, and set the animation type to “smart animate”. Adjust the easing to “Ease out back” and set the animation duration to “300ms”
- Connect the active variant back to the default variant, set the animation type to “smart animate”. Adjust the easing to “Ease in back’ and set the animation duration “300ms”
- Duplicate an instance and place it in your design, set constraints to right and bottom
- Click the present button and try it out!

Make more of these vedios. They are quite informative

[KreeTerry]

Please more of these! This was so freaking helpful!!!

[samislam]

One correction I've noticed. Don't make the layer opacity to 0%, instead click the eye icon besides it to unmount it completely. because when you want to make a prototype to one of the buttons inside the floating action button, it will overlap with the (X) button.
just a side note hope it helps someone.

nice but background music in some moments sounds like air alarm, which made me jump up )

[fritolays]

Thought that music alarm was at my house right now. We're in a severe thunderstorm warning, lol.

A designer's dream is a developer's nightmare

[mikaamann]

I tried to recreate this but somehow the animation seems to pop out of the bottom of the screen and not the button itself. Any ideas what i did wrong?

[jasc]

There is something wrong with my prototyping- with Smart Animate set to "Ease Out Back", when animating, why is the start location of the animation transitioning from the bottom of the screen as opposed to where the plus sign is placed on the screen?

[wazn]

And how do you connect the action buttons to other areas when this is located in a library and you are using an instance of it?
