ActionScript 2.0 :: Getting "focus" On A Rollover Area - Put OnRollOver Code Under A Button?
Oct 9, 2006
I have a background Nav area, that on rolling over, I want to come more clearly into focus. This is done by lightening & changing the colour on rolling over, where the background nav area is actually 2 identical boxes, and only the top one shows and lightens and de-blurs on rolling over.
The problem is, I have buttons (of course!) over this whole thing, and when someone hovers over the button...it makes the original code of the nav background think it no longer is rolled over, and goes to the onRollOut() function. It also seems to be killing my performance, so I might be doing something totally wrong.
What I would like is essentially a focus control - you are over the nav background and it lights up the way I want, but the buttons over it (both the nav and the buttons are on the main timeline - the buttons in a layer above the nav) still work normally and it stays lighted up...here is my code if I am doing something obvious, though I have only made a couple of posts so I will not blame anyone for not having a go at it...Shawn
this is in the nav background movieclip, which has a navUnder mc and a navOver mc included in it:

p.s. it's available here, well at least in Josh's image gallery: [URL]

I have created a world map that has each region of the world as a rollover. When you rollover the US, for example, it turns red and a movieclip pops out to display some info...it's basically a graphic I created in Illustrator that is a rectangle with info written on it.
The rollover works fine and everything pops out, but when you move the cursor close to the popout, it thinks you have rolled off the US. When you hit the edge it pops in and out almost like it is blinking.
How can I make it so that they are one hit area? Here is some of the code:
na_mc.buttonMode=true;
setChildIndex(na_mc,0);
na_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onButtonOver);na_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onButtonOut);

I know I can make an array if all the buttons would have a unified code executable change, i.e. they would become larger and brighter.
My problem is that each button represents an product image in the lights off stage, then of rollover it is a lights on stage so I have to import two images in the on and off stage and play around with the opacity.Additional problem is that each button has to ling to a different label.
My question is: is it possible to unify the code if buttons have that much individuality or I have to make each one of them as in the example below.
// makes a hand cursor appear over a mc acting as a button for all the buttons inside the scrollpnaeBckgrnd_mc.scrollpaneBckgrnd_btns_mc.
MovieClip(mc_pane2.content).scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.scrollpaneBckgrnd_btn s_mc.buttonMode = true;
MovieClip(mc_pane2.content).scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.scrollpaneBckgrnd_btn s_mc.useHandCursor = true;

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 want to rollover a button and have it trigger the rollover state of another button. The buttons overlap. The one on top is transparent and smaller than the bottom button. So far I think I have the AS3 to handle the rollover of the top button, but I don't know how to trigger the other button's rollover state.

OnRollOver of a Button I want to slightly zoom it and OnRollOut i want to slightly zoom out the Button. And the conditions are I should not use TimeLines/Stage Assets etc. Every thing has to come dynamically. Including the Button creation/ZoomOut/ZoomIn effect etc. and mainly i need it in Flash Cs3/Flash Cs4.

I have an image that will double as a button to make it larger if you click it. on the rollovers I have a plus and minus sign depending on which size the image is currently.if you click the image and it gets larger the cursor will probably still be on the image. Therefore the minus_mc won't play until you move your cursor off then back on the image. How can I have the rollover refresh without having the cursor move off of the image?

I'm developing a series of learning aids and the final screen requires the user to input some text.I have it working correctly but now need to make it a little more user friendly.At the moment the only way for the user to input the text is to click in each box. There are a total of 6 input text boxes.I would like to direct the user to a particular input text and then have them be able to use the tab key or the enter key or mouse clicks to proceed.As the first step I added the stage.focus = inputStarName1. See code below. As soon as I added the stage.focus = inputStarName1 line I get the dredded error 1009 when the code invokes TypeNames.What do I need to do to get rid of this error?

I'm wondering whether its possible to trigger some script by what area the mouse is hovering over. I know this would be simple with roll over buttons, but I already have buttons and thats where the problem comes in because they share the same space. So for instance I need something that says if the mouse is at X, Y ( or a broader area ) goto frame 2

// This is an array, a list of the buttons used. var myButtons = [this.myButton_1, this.myButton_2, this.myButton_3, this.myButton_4]; // Loops on all buttons from the first to the last one for (var i=0; i<myButtons.length; i++) { // When the mouse rolls over this menu option... reduce size just a bit. // NOTICE: I'm not taking into consideration the problem of having the hit area going down and "moving" the // mouse area and out of the button (possible rollover flicking). This is just a simple example afterall.

In the above instance how would I address the problem of flickering? I think want to apply the .onRollOver to an invisible button instead. How can this be done? Im just getting started with tweening animations outside the timeline with MCTween

I'm new to AS3 (less than 72 hours new) and I have a working code that animates buttons on rollover, however the code seems much too redundant There has to be an easier way but I just don't know the syntax yet.
Code:
//Home
menu_mc.home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, HomeButtonOut, false, 0, true);
menu_mc.home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, HomeButtonIn, false, 0, true);
function HomeButtonOut(event:MouseEvent):void{

On most of my option MC's I have something like:
this.onRollOver = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay("onanim")
}
this.onRollOut = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay("offanim")
}
Obviousy if you quickly roll on and then off the MC the animation is staggergy and not a fluid animation.I would like to set it so that everytime you touch/roll on the option MC it will always play its full on animation right, then it will go to the off animation.

Overview: A white ball_mc is to be dragged and drop to different holes. Each hole is represented by different colors.
Requirements:Before dropping into the hole, the white ball has to be changed to the colour when drag near the colored hole and changed back when drag out.I only managed to make the white ball_mc to drag and drop to differerent holes and returned back to default position when not place at the hole.
However, i got problem making the white ball change color when dragged near the hole. Also the white ball_mc will only change color when clicked and dragged which means it will not change its color when mouseover without dragging the ball.

I've made a mask with a FLVPlayback inside and with a sliding bar that appears when I make rollover in the FLVPlayback. All working well. I want to put some simple controls in the sliding bar like pause or play, but I can't access the buttons because they are inside a first button ( the FLVPlayback ) that triggers the sliding bar. How can I make to have a button inside another button area?

I'm trying to set focus on a specific button when the app launches (or later based on certain events), so that the user can simply hit return to press the button. None of the following approaches work however.
protected function group1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
{
//btnBrowse.setFocus();
focusManager.setFocus(btnBrowse);
}
