I have a movieclip and I have 3 layers within the movie clip with Shape tweens. Now i want to create either 3 buttons or shapes or graphics which, when you hover the mouse over, one of the specific layers with the shape tween, will play only once (until the mouse hovers over again).
View 3 RepliesSo, I had a problem animating a movie clip on mouseover which was solved here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/496745?tstart=0 Now the problem I'm having is that I want to movie some of those clips to a lower layer so that they animate behind an object on the top layer.If I put the same code on that bottom layer as in the top layer,
leaf.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,doStartAnim);
it tells me that I have a duplicate function definition.If I cut out the second half of the code,
function doStartAnim(e:MouseEvent):void {
e.currentTarget.play();
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,doStartAnim) ;
}
and just put that other part it doesn't give me the error, but mousing over the leaf does nothing. Any thoughts?
P.S. - If I leave the entire code for the movie on the top layer (with the movie on a seperate background layer) I get the following error:
Description: 1120: Access of undefined property leaf5. Source: leaf5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,doStartAnim);I hope that all makes sense!
I have a flash ad that I can only play once. After it plays the user is required to mouseover to play it. When their mouse leaves the ad it stops playing.I am not sure what code I need for this. I am guessing a stop action with some extras.
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash CS4 and I'm trying to create what I think is pretty simple. I have a tree that will have leaves. I want the individual leaves to fall on mouseover. When the animation is complete, I want the leaves to stay where they land and not reset back up on the tree. I know how to tween and animate the leaves, but everything else is really falling apart for me. I feel like this should be pretty simple. I've created the tree and leaves in illustrator and am importing the .ai file into flash and turning each of the leaves into a bitmap (as opposed to a movie file)
View 2 RepliesI have a .flv video which is too wide, it needs to be 300px wide. I can scale it down in flash, no problem. I need it to start paused (displaying an image of my choosing) then when they mouseover the image, the image fades out to black real quick and the video starts playing. This needs to be exported as an swf file. Sounds easy, but I can't seem to get the action scripts to work. I'm using Adobe Flash CS 5. The video I want to use is here. [URL]

View 1 Repliesi want to do many little animations with sound on one page. for not getting a complete sound mess i thought about playing only on hoover. i was lucky to mix up some as3 to get a sound playing only when you hover the animation.
A invisible button on a layer above the movie frames controls via mouseover and mouseout the start and stop of the sound - problem here: sound runs totally uncontrolled and asynchronous to the frames of the animation.

here is the code of the button:
PHP Code:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
newButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mouseOutHandler);
[Code].....
I've never used Flash for anything more than simple animations, I know nothing about actionscript. But I a sequence of images that I've loaded into a movie clip in flash, I need it to play when you mouseover it, stop when you roll off of it.
View 8 RepliesIts been a while since i used flash and i need some action script for my latest project. On my button i want: aboutUs_mc to play when mouseover aboutUs2_mc to play when mousedown i also dont want either to play until both the mouseover and mousedown happens. i also dont want them movieclips looped.
View 3 RepliesI just created a new site that hasnt launched yet. The scene is a city scape with water beneathe. In the water I want to have a fish that bobs up and down slightly on mouseover. I have the movie created
I know I have to make a button and i just copied the initial stage of the movie and converted that into a button.

View 2 Replieshow to make a basic image rotater by importing images and setting up motion tweens in the time line. That part works. When I hit ctrl + enter it plays through the images correctly.
Now I want to add an action script that will play/pause the rotator on mouseover and mouseout.
What I have so far is layers img1, img2, img3, img4 and an invisible button layer called buttonLayer.
I added a 6th layer and named it action.
Now every time I try to use one of the symbols from the library I get a "undefined property" error.
I have looked all over and find all kinds of tuts but none of the ones I'm finding tell the basics of how to use a symbol in the actionscript. Or how to make a symbol/instance/object in the first place. They just say things like "somesymbolname.play()" but when I replace that with my symbol name I get the error.
I've renamed all my symbols to img1, img2... because one thing I can see that is obvious is that there is no way "symbol 1" works in any programming language because of the space in the name. I'm confused that flash would automatically create a symbol with a name I can't use.
When I right click->actions to bring up the actionscript window for my action layer where do I start? And are there other things I need to do with the symbols and layers before I can use them in action script?
I'm attaching the fla file in a zip. how to add the actionscript it would go a long way in helping me understand how it all works.
I also tried saving the swf and then importing that into a new project as one single layer to work with and that doesn't seem to make a difference as far as figuring out the actionscript.
Don't know if the flash layer on the view stack contain only the compiled flash swf file
View 1 RepliesI have a simple rollover button that I want to use as a background image for a navigation on a drupal site I'm helping to develop. I'm not too skilled in AS3 and I can't figure out how to get the button to play on a mouseover and reverse on a mouse out - all from the current frame.URL...I set it up a motion tween that would play on a mouseover and then play a motion tween back to the original size on a mouse out but this only works if you stay on the button until it fully expands, otherwise it jumps around.
View 1 RepliesI don't know if this is possible, but can you have a button on one layer play a mc on another layer? I am trying to build a file where when my button is clicked, it will move the x and y axis of a movie clip on the layer below. I'm working in CS4 action script 3.0 (no drop down menu option?)

View 2 RepliesI have a basic mouseover in my flex application which changes an image onmouseover and changes it back onmouseout using the code mouse Over "functionToChangeImageSource()" and another one to mouseout.It works fine when you slowly mouse over and out, however if I quickly move the mouse over it, it occasionally stays on the mouseover image and the mouseout function doesnt appear to kick in. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or does anyone have any ideas why its happening?Also, I've tried the rollOver and rollOut instead but it has the same problem.[code]I'd imagine you're correct about the mouseover event not completing before mouseout is but how to I fix this?
View 3 RepliesI have a simple movie clip for which i bind two events 1-MouseOver and MouseOut
in these events i am just tracing simple text
But the Problem is when i take my mouse over the movie clip both events called tracing the string in the output panel
Infact, things should be done like that on mouse over, its text is printed and when i take my mouse away[out] from the movieClip MouseOut event should be called.
ActionScript Code:
import fl.motion.Color;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I am doing some research on creating clcikTags. I read a few places that the clcikTag should be on the top layer. That has been fine, but now I want to loop it and I usually put my actions in the top layer. Will this cause a problem? Am I better off just putting my loop action on the last key frame of the clcikTag layer?
View 3 RepliesIm creating a program that is designed to allow the used to select 3 pictures (movie clips) and print them off on a single peace of paper.
The program works by allowing the user to select 3 graphics (the graphics are actually instructions for various exercises) and then moving the desired movieclips onto the stage. This all happens on a layer named "Content"
So far the program will allow the user to select the movieclips and will move them into place on the Content layer as well as move smaller versions of the pictures into a preview box the only thing it does not do is print. (the most important bit)
Is it possible to create multiple layer masks over a single layer using Actionscript3?Below is the flash effect I wanted to create with masks.First it starts from A and goes to B and C simultaneously.Then from B it goes to H and D simultaneously (the same applies to C).This is how the end result will look like.ps. I need my background to be transparent. I'm embedding it into a web page later.
View 2 RepliesI can't seem to go to a master edit file that is supposed to show both the body (layer 1) and wing (layer 2) of a flying bird animation. Is there a way to merge these two since I'm planning on shrinking it down and making a lot of birds?He merged the two layers at 14:24 of the video without even explaining how he went to this so called "Edit Master Movie Clip" that seems non-existent on Adobe Flash CS4.
View 1 RepliesI want to create a simple mask. A white oval on a second layer on top of a bottom layer that just has a word of type. I want the oval to travel from the upper left down to cover up the type. When I create the second layer, create the oval, and choose a distant frame for the "end" of the oval's positioning, my type in the first layer disappears as soon as I press F6 on that second layer. Why? Why is it nuking my first layer?
View 3 RepliesI have a container MovieClip called Drags where I can drag stamps (other MovieClips)--they are added to the Drags container via addChild. I have a second container MovieClip above that one (display order-wise) call Paint that contains a bmp, and some sprites used for adding a layer of paint.
My question is this: I need to be able to click on the Paint layer when I am above a draggable MovieClip and trigger the MouseEvent for the correct object to drag it around, but the item must always remain below the Paint layer.
I'm trying to do a little comic comedy type video in Flash. I've done an outline sketch with the pen tool of my first character, now I want to color it BUT I want to keep the colors and the outline sketch separated on two different layers. Is there a way I can select the path (outline) on layer A and then colorize it with the bucket tool on layer B? The problem I'm having is that every object I select it automatically jumps to that corresponding layer.
One reason why I want to do it this way is I still want to continue working freely on the outline sketch since it's not fully finished, so that I just can blend the colors out and keep working on the outline, at the same time I want to color it while I go just to see where it's going and to make sure that I'm not wasting my time unnecessarily with trying to do a outline just to find out that it won't work out at the end.
how to do a comic type animation, how to create the characters, how to make them move and talk? It can be a free or paid resource.

Is it possible to add layers, re-order layers, move movieclips from layer to layer or specify which layer a duplicate movieclip appears on at runtime with AS3?I am aware of the depth properties and the functions associated with that but it would be easier to have a concept of a layer because I am dealing with masks.I have a nasty feeling I'm gonna be told that layers don't really exist within an swf and that depths and setmask are all there is to work with.
