View 1 RepliesI want to rollover a button and have it trigger the rollover state of another button. The buttons overlap. The one on top is transparent and smaller than the bottom button. So far I think I have the AS3 to handle the rollover of the top button, but I don't know how to trigger the other button's rollover state.

Everything works fine but it seems but it seems that when I roll over the menu items the menu goes back up! It's just when your roll over the menu items it is actually leaving it the movieclip?

I have 2 simple MCs I am trying to control via rolling over the actual animation itself, not a separate button.
Here's the catch though: In one MC the animation is up and down, the other, left to right. I need the user to be able to not only trigger the animation by rolling over it, BUT, control the up and down/left to right action.
When they move the cursor up and down, the animation follows... you get the idea.
Can this be done with an invisible button covering and on top of the animation?
A friend of mine asked me to build a web site. Since I am a graphic illustrator and that I know a lot of After Effects, he tought that that would be easy for me building his site.Well, here I am, stuck with this flash problem (I am a nuke in actionScript). The guy wants an interactive map of the best country in the world, that is, Canada.When the users mouse hovers a province, a little rollover/rollout animation plays. Actually, it took me about three weeks to make it work, but it works.Now, this is wheretrying to figure out how to trigger a movieclip with a rollover/rollout button. When the users mouse hovers an important city (in this example, Ottawa, Ontario), on rollover, it should play the movieclip box_mc up to frame 40 and on rollout, play the rest of the movieclip
View 4 RepliesI am using the Button component (the one shipped with CS3) inmany places in my AS3 project. I am coding in .as files, not on thetimeline.I have skinned the Button to use the colors I like. Now Iwish to "skin" it so that all instances generate a rollOver sound,and I'll be darned if I can figure out how.I know I can listen for ROLL_OVER events in each Buttoninstance. But I have many many Buttons and it seems kludgy to addthat same code to every class I have which tracks a Button. I amhoping there is some way I can make *all* instances of Buttonrespond to rollOver the same way. I am hoping it is likesetComponentStyle or changing the skin for the Button; I can do itin one place and it works everywhere.I guess I can listen on the Stage level for bubble-ups ofROLL_OVER, trap those that come from Button instances, and handleit from there, but stagewide listeners also seem a tad kludgy
View 1 RepliesI created a button that has a movieclip in the rollover state. When you rollover the mouse, the movieclip will animate to appear as if the button will scale from a small to a large button even though it is the movieclip that is playing and not the button itself. But I also want to add a keyboard code to play the rollover instead of the mouse. I learned to write actionscript to play different scenes with the code below, but I'm not sure if I can play a button rollover with the same code.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, key_pressed);
function key_pressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
if (event.charCode==49) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"scene");
}
how to create dynamic button tooltip and get tooltip data from XML.
View 0 RepliesI have an application done in flash- on the main Scene Level, everything has only one frame but I have MCs and the like that are triggered by actionscript.There are quite a few nested functions on the main actions layer as well as an "onEnterFrame" function that reloads XML data in the background, etc... but that is not the problem.
The problem is, that at one point, I am calling a few MCs that kind of close up a section of the page like blinds- and then I want a text to appear ontop of that now closed area... but if I just write...
Code:
_root.TimelineFader.BlendeT1.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.TimelineFader.BlendeT2.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.TextAboveTimeline.theMessage_txt._visible = true;
...it all happens simultaneously, of course.I guess I could check for "BlendeT1"'s (or T2's) current frame (since it's an MC)... but how do I wait while that MC runs / until it reached a certain frame? How can I keep the rest of the actionscript in the main function from continuing?
The script for my timer worked for one button but as soon as I set up the other 2 buttons to do the same, I started having a problem where the rollover action would go after the set amount of time was up but then would repeat itself once after the set amount of time was up again. just to clarify, if it needs it, the reason I don't have a rollout attached to these buttons is because I want the menu to stay out until you leave the menu area
so I have an invisible button called menuin_btn which sits to the right of the menu and covers the rest of the stage where the content will be, so you have to rollover that area for the menu to roll back in. The "rollin" in my code brings the movie clip to frame 16 (the end) where I have a gotoAndStop(1); command to get it back to frame 1 so the rollover can be used again. I've attached a zip with my current flash file and swf and here is what my current script looks like on the main scene:

I am making a ball move from left to right and back. but when I rollover twice quickly, it also accepts the second rollover command. I would like it to accept that second rollover only when the first one is finished. I mean, I want the first to be finished before it accepts another rollover.I know it is simple to solve this with a tween using frames instead of as, but I was wondering if someone knows how to adapt the script.
on(rollOver){
ballTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(balMC, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut,balMC._x, 44, .5, true);
ballTween.onMotionFinished = function() {
ballTweenterug = new mx.transitions.Tween(balMC, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, 44,11.9, .5, true);

I've tried to create this rollover navigation...starting over 6 times already. Is there different language / coding for 1.0 and 2.0? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
I'm trying to create a rollover for a movie clip. On rollover, a line underlines the text,and when it rolls out, the underline reverses. This works fine the first time. The next time you rollover, the animation doesn't work. Then when you move the mouse off the button, a line appears under the text and doesn't go away. Here's my code on the invisible button.
on(rollOver){
this.gotoAndPlay("animIn");
}

The animation/rollover works well but it still abruptly stops when I rollover another button. The link below is an example on what I want to accomplish.
View 1 RepliesI have a button set up, that when you rollover the button, it changes into another picture and stops, and also when it's rolled over, a large picture appears under the rollover.But when I first rollover the button, it acts like it's told to go to the out state. When I rollover it again it works fine.URl...there is my code to go into the movieclip and play the button
View 1 RepliesHow do I do a onRollOver detect without using the onRollOver function?I have a movieclip and when it's rolled over I have it zooming using the AS2 tween function.In that movieclip there's a form with fields, and if I use the onRollOver function on the movieclip to zoom, the whole movieclip becomes a button thus preventing any input into the form fields. Is there an alternative I can use?
View 6 RepliesOkay, now things are getting a little complicated. I need to build a Flash object that can sit over the corner of an image to serve extra content. It's way beyond my Flash skill level, my work is usually limited to print work in Photoshop and Illustrator so please excuse me if any of the following isn't clear. I am trying to learn though, So this is how it's all supposed to work, along with my issues; When the image & Flash item load a small looping animation will play to draw the eye/show the item as interactive.
When the user rolls over this the corner will peelback. I have a working peelback animation for the rollover, that reacts to mouse over/mouse off, and a looping animation for the initial, but I cannot work out how to make the initial loop until mouseover, then play the peelback when the mouse is over. And go back to the initial animation loop if the user rolls off. (Each of these animations is stored as a movie clip in the Library)
Then it gets more complicated... if the user stays on the corner until it is fully peeled back I need to make a small countdown (sort of a 3, 2, 1 situation) show, before launching a lightbox (would this have to be jQuery, or could it be done in Flash?) in the browser to serve the content.

I'm currently working on a flashsite and are trying to figure out rollover menu buttons. The site has 6 menu buttons and are placed next to each other. I want to put a rollover action on the buttons, that when you rollover a button that the whole button image enlarges and moves in front of the other.
View 1 Repliesi have a gallery generated via xml - i have three text fields on the stage that display the title and description of the thumbnail item.
Code:
tn_title.text = "";
tn_desc.text = "";
tn_url.text = "";
I want to make the textfields into a 'tooltip' as opposed to appearing in the same place everytime - ideally within a few pixels of the thumbnail or the mouse. the latter might be the easier.
so i have put the three text fields into an MC and called it tip.
Code:
tip.tn_title.text = "";
tip.tn_desc.text = "";
tip.tn_url.text = "";
this works ok when the MC 'tip' is sitting on the stage. But the question is how do i get the MC to appear next to the thumbnail/mouse when a thumbnail is moused over?
here is the full shabang i highlighted the rows that i think are the relevant ones...

Ladies and Gentlemen, I was hoping to receive a little assistance from one of you fine flash developers out there, if you have the time. Here's my situation:I'm working on an interactive map.with is getting the tooltip to work right when you rollover a specific area. The tooltips content is dynamically generated from an XML file with the ID/name of the area and the number of photos. Also, the specific area needs to be a special color if it has photos associated with it, and just plan if it doesn't. An example of what the XML file will look like is listed below as well as a link to the actual map that I am working on.
View 2 RepliesI am adding some functionality to some Movie Clips as follows:

// Define region
var region : MovieClip = getChildByName ('R' + regions[i]) as MovieClip;
region.alpha = 0.7;

When the mouse is over the MC I would like to show the region name taken from regionNames[i] in a small box with black background.And when the mouse is out to fade out that tooltip.(I think I have all set with the loop and the MouseEvents)(I only need to create the tooltip for each MC).
I have the following code:

var region : MovieClip = getChildByName ('R' + map.Region[r].Id) as MovieClip;

I downloaded an Interactive Map from Active Den ... it came with an XML file that allows me to change some parts, but the part thatI need to change is not covered in the XML ... it needs to be changed in the Action Script.[URL]Basically when a landmark is moused over ... a box pops up that contains hrml (images, text. links, etc)The XML file allows me to set the max width of the pop up box.
The issue is that i need a box that is 225 px wide ... I also need another box that is 400 px wide The XML only allows me the set one width ... so I need another box (one for vertical layout, and one for horizontal layout) I thought I could duplicate the pop up box mc, and the box's Action Script (give them different names) and that would work, but I don't know exactly which parts to edit. [URL]Also, there is a screen shot of all movie clips, but the only mc that has any actions attached to it is "zoom_pan" it's at the very bottom of the list.
