ActionScript 1/2 :: Unified Rollover Function On Multiple MC's
Nov 4, 2010
I'm trying to code a variable rollover for a sequence of MCs on the stage. I have 3 buttons (MovieClips) on the stage and each time one is rolled over I'm making a different movieclip appear.
So I've done this in a root timeline frame script:
//put an empty container movieclip on the stage
containerMC = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", this.getNextHighestDepth());
//button 1 - "but1" is my linked instance name and Content 1 is my content movieclip
[Code].....
and so on for each button (1, 2 and 3). As you can imagine if there were 20 buttons there is a lot of uneccessary duplication.
What I've considered is, as they are sequential I should be able to read "but"+i and "content"+i and I could push the button names and content names into an array. The thing I'm having trouble with is, how do I write the function so it checks which clip is rolled over and then attaches the corresponding content movieclip?
Ultimately I would like the script to check how many buttons there are on the stage and simply iterate for that number (so I don't have to specify how many there are to loop through i.e. numOfButtons = 4), But not sure how to go about it.
As you can see the code could be the same for each button, if I could read the movieclip rolled over and attach the function variably.
In summary what I'm trying to do is have a single function for all rollover buttons named but1 to but n.

How 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?

I am currently working on a menu system where all the MCs are created during run time. Well the short of it is that I am having trouble detecting what MC I am supposed to be moused over. I am using a loop, but the loop run and finishes and uses just the last MC reference.
Code:
var menu_xml:XML = new XML();
menu_xml.onLoad = startXML;
menu_xml.load("menu.xml");

basically i have a mc that i want to use as a button.
frame 1 is the initial state with a stop() action on it. frame 10 is the full rolled over state, also with a stop() action on it, and frame 20 matches frame 1.
so basically i want the button to animate frame 1-10 if they rollover, and animate frame 11-20 when they roll off. i would also like it to detect the current frame, so like if the user rolls off and rolls back on at frame 15, it will play backwards to the mouseover state (frame 10).

Apparently when you give the button component a rollOver function it eliminates the it's own rollOver state... it's as if your rollOver function now overwrite the buttons...

I have successfully implemented the INTERACTIVE 3D Cube, but I can't seem to figure out how to create a rollover function properly, so that once the user rollovers a face, a title for the face fades in and when the user rolls out, the title fades out. I have done it by placing 6 movieclips on the stage and giving each face a rollover and rollover event, but once I rollover a face the title flickers.

Suppose I have three different movie clips. mc_A, mc_B, mc_C I want to have a rollover call a function that changes each movie clip. But I don't want to type it out like this:
Code:
mc_A.onRollOver = function() {
Explode.newExplosion(mc_A);
};
mc_B.onRollOver = function() {

Above you will see that I used this, it made sense to me, but this always refers to the main timeline (root in my case). So how do I pass the name of hte clip I am rolling over to a function?

should be an easy one, but I tried everything i could think of
I just read this tutorial ::[URL]..Got it to work fine, and even added a function to have a click sound play on rollOver.
The thing is, I can't change the color of the link text on rollOver

is there a way to add a onRollOver: change tint of 'poly' to red (poly is a mc)??

I'm constructing an area with selectable buttons that transition and appear every 10 frames. During these 10 frame transition periods I don't want the buttons to be selectable and if possible to disable the rollover.
I've tried creating an If statement on the addEventListener so that it only works when currentFrame is 11,21,31 etc but this didn't work. I then also tried the same principal on the function to which the Event Listener relates but still no success.

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 am trying to activate a rollOver-function when the mouse rolls over a movieclip inside of a movieclip.On the main window (root), first you rollOver a button where a window shows up with more options (movieclips).From stage, my first movieclip is called "catapultas_read_more" which leads to amother movieclip called "pic1_mc". The label that is going to play when mouse over on pic1_mc is "rollOn".I tried this.gotoAndPlay("rollOn); directly inserted to the movieclip, but the movieclip inside pic1_mc never starts

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");
}

I have three buttons. My goal is that each button will load and play a sound file from the internet. Here is what I have:
function loadPlaySnd(pSpecifier1:String):void {
arguments;
SoundMixer.stopAll();[code]....
Every Button I press goes to the same sound file. The best I can figure, is that the file I loaded the first time I pressed a button has been uploaded, and from there I cannot load another file over that variable when I try another button.

Other boxes will be to left and right of the current black box. Code is below as well as link.

I'm building a menu for a website that plays a sound each time you mouse over one of the buttons. (each button is a piano key) I've written two functions that change the size of each key on ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT events. What I want is someway to play a unique sound in my library for each key, without writing a separate function for each key. Either a new function, or just written into my existing ROLL_OVER function. Currently, it plays the same sound for every key.
Here is a zip of my project

What I've got in there is a fla file called menu.fla In that file there is a movieclip on stage called "keyboardmenu" and inside that movieclip are 8 movieclip's (my buttons) each with a unique instance name. In the library there are 8 mp3 files with class name keysound1, keysound2 etc...Here is my code: ( I'm using tweener to handle the scaling. )
Code:
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
function keyisdown(e:MouseEvent):void{
Tweener.addTween(e.currentTarget,{height:185, width:80, time:.25, transition:"easeOutBounce"});
varsound1.play();
