ActionScript 1/2 :: How To Fade In And Out Buttons When Rollover
Aug 17, 2009
I am building a website and I need to fade in/ fade out buttons. Here is an example : My main goal is that when I roll over the services button, I want the submenu (corporate and weddings) to fade in. Then when I roll over the portfolio button, I want the first submenu (corporate and weddings) to fade out and the second submenu ( clients, corporate, weddings, etc..) to fade in and to stay like this. Finally when I roll over testimonials, the second submenu fades out. And so on for the rest of the buttons. I know how to animate the buttons to fade in/out but I don't know how to make them fade out when I roll over the other buttons. I have attached my fla and swf. [URL]
I'm designing a site for a friend and I have a menu bar across the top with 6 buttons. I made your basic rollover with CSS, but now I'm asked if something can be done about the abrupt change from the down state to the rollover state. Not knowing much at all about Flash, I thought this would be pretty simple and a good way to get acquainted with the program. But after spending hours today rummaging through Google I'm considering digging my eyes out with a spoon. It seems that no tutorial quite tells me what I need to do, and when I try to adapt what I'm told to what I need, it all stops working. There seems to be a dozen different ways to do the same thing and now I'm just really confused. So here is what I need:
When you mouse over the button, it quickly transitions/fades into the highlight/rollover image. When you move the cursor away, it fades back to normal. And *possibly* a quick transition to another highlight on click.
Does anyone know how to do this rollOver effect? [URL] Enter flash site and look at the rollOver buttons. I have the bar moving over each button but can't get it to fade out.
making a banner that fades out one image and increases visibility on another. Kind of like one of the Kirupa footers i saw on one of the tutorial pages. Here is the link. [URL] . As you drag to the right one image fades out and another becomes visible
I have 4 buttons, I need each button to fade the others out as the mouseover event occurs. I can get this to work if I add in one other button to the actionscript on one, but as soon as I add actionscript for another one I get errors.
I have a page with alot of logos (buttons) and I would want so when the mouse is over a logo all the others fade like 50% and when you move your mouse away they go back to 100%, This should be for every button on the stage.
I need to create in which two images fade in and fade out, and each of them must be clickable and hyperlink to a separate URL.I've got the fading going okay, but I cannot for the life of me get even a single button to work on it.
Nowadays I tend to use photoshop and dreamweaver more than flash. how to do it? I can make the fading out movie clip, but it's just a case of telling the button to do that on release of it!
I have 3 buttons profile, about and contact. what I am doing is when I click on profile all the buttons should fade off first and then only the about and contact button should appear on the scene.
i think this is like the 5th time i'm asking this question, i'll ask it differently this time. I just want the button to fade out on rollover. at the same time, i would like text (that is loaded externally in a text field called "caption") to fade in also on rollover.
I have was surfin' the tuts when I came across this one: Advanced Rollovers. So I whipped up a sig, and finally got what I wanted. But when I press ctrl - enter to preview it, the rollover affect doesn't fade in and out, plus since it doesn't fade in and out, the image never entirely disappears.
i'll ask it differently this time. I just want the button to fade out on rollover. at the same time, i would like text (that is loaded externally in a text field called "caption") to fade in also on rollover. i've tried sooooo many things - scavenging this board and others.
i have this menu that gets the number of buttons and subbuttons depending on the xml file. it attaches the buttons to an empty movie click. the same's happening to the subbuttons - they get attached to a different empty mc. everything works fine there. My question is how do make the subbutons in that mc to fade in on rollOver of a button one by one and then fade out again one by one on rollOut. I will probably need to set up some sort of a loop. just having a hard time on where to start. here are the fla and the xml files. [edit]bump..why can't we upload fla's anymore?
I am having trouble with a job I am doing at the moment which has an mc with buttons within it. I want it so that when I roll over the mc it tweens from a small version to a larger version, and on this mc there are some buttons. At the moment I can get the mc to move but the buttons remain inactive and also the rollover states on the buttons don't work. I have attached a simpler version of what I am trying to do to this post.
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.
I'm building a flash web site, this site contain images in 5 pages, i want to do an effect when rollover of any image ( make image brightness 100 and fade to 0 ).
If you rollover and rollout a single instance it works perfectly. When I place two instances side by side (alterning the instance name for each script obviously) and move the mouse over each of them the script falls to pieces, with one instance stopping the other and generally screwing things up!
I'm creating a menu system, the text buttons should, on rollover, move all buttons to the left (of the button currently rolled over) 100 pixels, in the gap created a sub menu running vertically will appear which will break into a 2nd horizontal submenu etc. I'm still in the early stages, and have hit a stumbling block, I placed a trace (this); cmd in root of the roll over function then again in each segement of the IF/ELSE loop inside that fuction. The trace CMD in the root of the rollover gives me the feed back _level0.btn1 or 2 or what ever button I have rolled over but the ones inside the IF/ELSE loop all say _level0.btn0 regardless of the button I roll over!
Movieclip I want to fade out: "StartupText_mc" Within "StartupText_mc" I have a frame labels "normal" on the first frame and "over" on the last. On the actions layer I have "stop();" on the first and last frame. On the third layer I have a simple alpa tween from 100% to 0%.
Now, Back to the main scene where the button "ProductMarketingIcon2_mc" and "StartupText_mc" exist next to each other. Here is the code I have for the button:
I have a long screen shot that I have put in a scroll panel. I want the user to be able to point to a specific field and then have a tool tip fade in, hold for as long as it takes to read, and then fade out onRollout. To implement this I covered all the fields in the scroll panel with a transparent button symbol. Then for each field, I create two moviclips. The first fades in on rollover and stops. The second one starts visible then fades out on rollout.
However it seems that the more of these I do, the more unstable the code gets. In some instances it works just as designed. In other instances somtimes the tool tip doesn't appear, somtimes the fade tween dosn't play. And another issue is that the longer I play the .swf the more unstable it becomes. A snippet of my code for one field/button combination is shown below. I'm very new to AS. How can I Improve the performance?
I have the same code for each field in the scroll panel. I put stop(); as the last statement in the Action layer. All the code and the movie clips reside in the first frame.
I'm working on a site and the customer wants a small image gallery, only about 6 pics, but he wants the buttons to work as they do on this BBC page, i.e. they fade in when the cursor is over the image area. I've tried various ways, but whenever I put an action on, say, an invisible button it overrides the actions on the buttons.
Look at the attached images for an example : My main goal is that when I roll over the services button, I want the submenu (corporate and weddings) to fade in. Then when I roll over the portfolio button, I want the first submenu (corporate and weddings) to fade out and the second submenu ( clients, corporate, weddings, etc..) to fade in and to stay like this. Finally when I roll over testimonials, the second submenu fades out. And so on for the rest of the buttons.
FYI, i know how to animate the buttons to fade in/out but i dont know how to make them fade out when i roll over the other buttons.. I know this can be done with action script but I have no clue how... Here is my fla and swf.[URL]
This is a real general question but I'll explain what I'm trying to ask for.I'm trying to make a button that when you press it, you continue on to the next "scene." I know how to do that now.I also want music to play when clicking the button but the issue remains, how will the music keep up if the user is pressing it too soon? I don't want it to end abruptly so I need a code that fades the music out (or in).
I am creating an animation. In the Stage I have filled up it almost with many squares in its different rows and columns, and leaving something of space among them (something as well as the tiles), and each of these are buttons, that when they settle above an animation begins type fade, but returning to the main color. My question is with respect to creating an animation with them, I have all in the Stage, but my intention is that when begins, appear 1 to 1, with fade in, and randomly.
I have four buttons on a website - on press I want each button to trigger a fade in for an image...When a user hits on diff button, the the previous image should fade out and a new image fade in..... The script I am using doesnt work all the time..sometimes when i press a button...the i press a diff button...two images will fade in overlapping eachother take a look at my file and tell me how to make this concept work with no errors?
The AS3 script below is a cross-fade that is time-based with no user control. How do I keep the cross fade and control it with the "before" and "after" buttons? And with the API opening in its "before" state? And for users to be able to click and/or hover between the two. The link to what I'm trying to set up is:
