I am using a magnifying glass effect in flash, but because my content and rollover buttons sit "inside" the magnifying glass, so they appear magnified, the rollovers dont work when you mouse over them because technically you aren't mousing over them, if that makes sense.
View 13 RepliesI'm trying to create a magnify glass tool.I am familiar with copypixels() function for Bitmaps so i've had no problem making a magnify glass on a regular bitmap image, the problem is i want to magnify a movieclip full of other movieclips, layers, videos, active links etc....is there an efficient way to do this? i really dont want to load the whole thing into another movieclip just bigger....?
The idea is that the user can scan over the content and read, view, watch in a slightly bigger view.I have a zoom function when the user goes to full screen mode but this isn't an option in this case.

Any reason my slider bar would be moving on its own after you scroll over a couple of the hover buttons?
well i want to make buttons that on rollover move to left, on rollout move back to their initial position, and if clicked, they but stay this time at the final rollover place, and be there until something else is clicked. When something else is clicked, the previous button , returns to its initial place. So i ve got it all figured out except for the freeze and move part when the buttons are clicked. All it does now , is when they are clicked they freeze at the position i want, but i havent got a clue how to update them, after so they start moving back, and reacting on rollover and rollout, when the next button is clicked.

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.
View 3 RepliesI'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!

View 5 RepliesI am making a game that involves a function that makes a bottle randomly explode in all directions. The function is on the main frame of my game and is linked to several movie clips inside the bottle. When the conditions are right, the movie clips should call the function and then fly out in random directions. The problem is, when i put the code directly onto the movie clips it works fine, but when i attempt to use it as a function is makes the entire movie move in random directions instead of the glass shard. My only guess as to why this happens is because this '_this.' command somehow applies to my main frame because that is where the function originates.

should i make the glass buttons in flash also? i want my buttons to ease like that..
I have a flash file that uses Mouse.hide() and sartDrag() to show a custom cursor. The problem is that when the cursor is above a button or movie clip (via level or layer), it doesn't work... sometimes it flickers a bit, but that's it.
This is the weird part:
When I move the custom curser beneath the button or mc, (via level or layer), it works perfectly.
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'm using CS5 actionscript 2. I would like to create hovering text when one mouses over an item in the navigation window (please see pic). You know, something that would act like a brief abstract to give the user more info re: whether or not they need to click on that link.At present, the nav_mc is linked to an xml doc FYI (the nav_mc accordians in and out, but doesn't have to). I input what I want the menu and submenu to say in the xml nodes and it shows up. It would be cool if the hover text added could also be xml driven tooI am green to this so the more detail the better. Do I need to create a new xml doc? new .swf? How do I link this? Should I use Flash Builder or Catalyst?
View 6 RepliesI am editing an existing application that has three sets of wheels that spin. inside each each wheel are buttons that lead to a second movie layer.this second movie layer is on rollover and on release to show information.after wheel has spun twice the button actions inside the wheel still work but they are the wrong actions for each button symbol..........
prior to the wheel spinning it makes a calculation in a form.would i use movieclips as button symbols? ..
I'm fairly new to actionscript and could use some help. I'm using Flash CS3, AS 1/2.I have made a musicplayer that is inside a movieclip, but when i pull the movieclip onto the stage the buttons inside the movieclip stop working.Inside the Movieclip:I have the music start on frame 1 and then gotoAndPlay at frame 3.Frame 3 has a stop();, a button that stops the music and gotoAndPlay "play".Frame 2 has a stop();, a button that plays the music and gotoAndPlay "stop".it all works fine on its own, but as soon as i stick it on the stage it stops working.Labels have been set up fine, it works when i use 'Test Scene'. I've hardcoded all the buttons to work on the timeline frames and not on the buttons.[code]
View 1 RepliesI have created a sliding rollover panel so that a user can hover over an invisible button to reveal the panel itself. The panel itself is under a movie clip which basically motion tweens the panel to slide in and out effectively. Then there is the panel_mc inside the movie clip which contains an img. The one panel can slide out but for some reason cannot slide back, even when you rollover the button(popUp_btn)!!!! The compiler errors does not even display this error!!!
Here is the code for the main AS timeline in the site:
stop();
panel_mc_arrangement.panelInner_mc_arrangement.popUp_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,rollFarrange);
function rollFarrange(event:MouseEvent):void{ if(panel_mc_arrangement.currentFrame <<2){
panel_mc_arrangement.play();
}else{ panel_mc_arrangement.gotoAndPlay(20); }}
My goal is to remove all hover feedback from the UI. The motivation is for testing touch interface prototypes and not wanting users to have the queue of interactivity when the mouse hovers which they won't have with a touch interface.
I have a partial solution but it has two problems:
Requires an event handler on each component. Flickers on hover.
protected function ui_suppressHover(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var b = event.currentTarget as UIComponent;

Im using Flash 8 to make a meny for my webiste. When you point whit the mouse on the meny it will scroll down, and if you take it outside it will scroll back. But im facing a problem When i try to put buttons or linked text into the movieclip, they just wont work... Anyone know what i have done wrong?Here you can download the movieclipHeres the code.
on (rollOver) {_root.html.gotoAndPlay(2);}on (rollOut) { _root.html.gotoAndPlay(7); }
okay so what i cant figure out is...(still earning as3)i have these 2 buttons that are nested inside of movie clip........i havent added any code to em yet or nothing....ALL I LITERALLY did was, i have MC-a and went inside it, created 2 button symbols, and tested movie just to see how it'd look but when i rolled over the buttons they didnt work. they dont have roll over/out/press/hit states at all...it acts like its a regular graphic.i took the same buttons, copy/cut/paste on the main stage and work just fine.
View 2 RepliesI have a flow chart, the Flash works perfectly, no problems, however i am using the multiple screens on Powerpoint slides in a program called Articulate (a simple program to house things like this as a whole media object on a website etc).The only issue with this is that i need to add links on top of each button on the page, which link to other slides in the presentation. So not hyperlinks in the Flash code, slide-hyperlinks in Powerpoint.
The Flash code should be enough to make the shapes have hover states, but not be a 'button', if that makes any sense? The hyperlink shapes i add on afterwards in Powerpoint should be the clickable areas with the cursor turning to a hand, but the Flash code by itself should just have a hover state with the cursor staying as an arrow.
Here's the code -
var tl:MovieClip=this;
for(var i = 1; i < 30; i++){

I am trying to achieve an effect in Flash. The effect in question is that when I hover a certain area I want my navigation (6 movie clips that acts as a button) to appear and disappear when I move my mouse out. The trouble is that right now I Can make then appear but I cannot click them nor mouse over them since I've put a transparent (alpha = 0 ) over them.
I'd like a solution or hint of a solution in AS2 but I am open to AS3 solutions as well.
I Have this code:
this.map_fade.map.image.tar_total.btn_bp_035.onRollOver = function() {
_root.map_fade.map.zoom.zoomer_txt_right.text = ("xxxxx");
trace("over");
}
this.map_fade.map.image.tar_total.btn_bp_035.onRelease = function() {
trace("release");
}
The strange thing (for me ) is that the on RollOver works and the on Release does not.
I need to trigger the hover state of a Flex button programatically, so that it looks like the user is hovering over it. There is a flex page about "Manually dispatching events":

Which would work, but what I'd really like to do is change the style of the button without having to throw an event. How can I do this?
I have the raster of dots on white background. I would like it when i DragOver EACH DOT it becomes white so it looks like you are actually drawing white line by erasing the dots. Ive somehow found the way how to do it by making it transparent when I rollover.But it doesnt work with dragover. Does anyone knows how to do it only when i hold down the mouse button and drag my mouse over the dots?his is the script assigned to MC with one black dot (I copied this MC with one dot into another MC and multiplied it to have the raster):
this.onRollOver = function () {
this._alpha = 0;
}

im working on a zoom/pan gallery and i have a problem that i can't solve.URL...the pan buttons are not working but the zoom and reset buttons works. im working on movie the image using the mouse now, if you will hold the image and move it it will drag it on stage.the image is a loader the loads and image and placed on screen.there is a mask on top of it and a frame that indicates the size of the gallery.when the user pan the image loader content i want it to stop as soon as it gets to the gallery frame,but i cant seem to find the best way to do it.so basicly when the image is in 100% i dont want the user to be able to drag it but after you zoom the user will be able to drag it but only to the edge of the frame so there wont be any white spaces.i tried a lot of different ways to do it but all of them are complicated and not working the way that i want them to work.
View 2 Repliesi am making a scroller and need to have it so that when you hover on the up or down buttons, then it will keep moving the designated layer up or down. right now the event handler i am usiing (onRollOver) doesnt really work right because it only moves one pixel, then you need to roll off and roll back on.... i am thinking there must be some do... while statement for the rollover action but i cant find it...

View 2 RepliesI'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.
