ActionScript 1/2 :: Detecting RollOver Without Button?

Jul 12, 2010

I have made a movie that loads many sub movies into itself and I want an information box to appear  when the mouse pointer rolls over each movie. Some of the movies just play and loop so to get the box to pop up I just load the movie then attach an invisible button over it in the same size and position, which works fine. The problem is that some of the movies are interactive and have internal buttons that respond to the mouse rolling over them, so if I put a external button over them their interactivity is blocked. I also want to avoid putting custom code that targets the parent movie into the loaded movies so I don't have to adjust every movie I want to load. Is there a way to keep the interactivity of the loaded movie but still detect a mouse rollOver?
 
The scale and position of the loaded movies changes continually, but the only way I can think of of achiving what I want is to write code that continally calculates the size and position of the loaded movies and compares the position of the mouse pointer with them and brings up the info box if a hit is detected. This would be fairly complex

Apr 29, 2011

Okay, in as3 when you click, the object on the highest layer will be clicked on. I want someone to press the space bar and have the objects on the screen to check to see if it is touching a point.So I first tried hittest...

if (this.hitTest(myPoint)){
play();
}

Now the problem was objects behind other ones were thinking they were being "clicked" on.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Using Button Rollover, Rollout And Button Down?

Jul 12, 2005

Take a look at the following sites; and notice their menus. Both have a rollover and rollout on their buttons, and when the button is hit the button stays down until another button is pressed. In the scissor sisters site, the neon bar still fades out after another has been pressed.

Franz Ferdinand
Scissor Sisters

I am trying to achieve this myself with my own site, which you can view in progess here:

My Site

I have mastered the button rollOver and rollOut effect, in which i gathered the code from a kirupa tutorial. My problem is, getting the neon bar to stay underneath teh last button that has been pressed.The main movie is located on the main timeline in frame 2, because frame 1 contains the pre loader.

The actions for frame 2 of the main timeline are:

Code:
stop();
movieLoader.loadMovie("news.swf");
total = movieLoader.getBytesTotal();
loads = movieLoader.getBytesLoaded();

[code]....

Now the buttons are not buttons, they are movieclips, which are located on the stage, and have instance names of b1 for news, b2 for biography etc etcInside the movieclip, the animation of the neon bar fading in takes 25 frames, and this has a stop action on the end.

This code is placed on the first frame:

Code:
stop();
news.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true)

[code]....

So now my problem is to make sure that the last button clicked leaves the underline bar down until the next button is pressed.

Hyperlinks Within A Button / Button Within A Rollover Button?

Nov 16, 2009

I'm working on a project, and it's going OK. What I want to do is for the user to rollover a button/object, and a little pop-up box will show up, and it will have some text/photos/... Pretty routine stuff. That I can accomplish without a problem...
 
Now, what I want to add in there is also a hyperlink that will open a Web page in a new window. And that's where I get stuck. It won't let me.
 
I assume it's because part of the rollover thing in the button symbol. That's how I'm doing it so far.
 
So, is there anything I can do going that route, or do I need to take another approach?
 
I'm thinking the other option would be to create a movie clip, which would hold the pop-up box and the photos and the like, then make a button within that which would hold the hyperlink. Then, I could create an object right on the timeline with a rollOver that would trigger the movie-clip instance.

ActionScript 1/2 :: SwapDepths And Button Rollover?

Dec 2, 2010

I'm currently working on a project (AS2 in CS5) that contains a lot of small dots that are set up as buttons with rollovers. This has been problematic since the rollovers will sometimes appear behind some of the other buttons.
 
I did a forum search and found information about the swapdepths function that can be applied to buttons by using the following code:

[Code]... 
 
This code solved the overlap problem, however... now when i roll out of the button, the "roll over" state remains visible (instead of returning to its original state)
