ActionScript 2.0 :: Making A Button Stay On The "OVER" State
May 9, 2006
I have this Movie Clip Drop-Down Menu, which has a button inside (Overview) that turns red when you roll over it ... When the Drop-Down Menus sub-buttons are clicked, the movie jumps to a frame labeled "WhoWeAre" or "OurMission"... When it lands on either frame, I want the word "Overview" to remain red, indicating that you are now in that section.
Can actionscript be written so that the "Over" state inside a button remains on once it reaches a new frame? I currently achieved this with a dirty hack, creating an ADDITIONAL menu with just the word "Overview" in red on the "Up" state, but it screws things up and the sub-buttons don't work once I reach either of the new frames for some reason.
I've posted the file at [URL]

I have a menu with five nav buttons (atcually MovieClips). Each has three frame labels: "on", "stay", and "off". The rollover and rollout animations play flawlessly, but I'm at a loss as to how to give each button a sticky "active" state. I'd like the button to stay in it's active state until another button is clicked, then I would like it to play it's "off" animation. Each MC has this code:

I would have thrown both my computer and probably my family out the window by now out of pure frustration. I used the tutorial to learn how to use flash mx to make button hyperlinks by using the actions/browser/geturl thingWhat I am struggling with is finding a way to outline or select each individual state so that the user can click anywhere in the state and have it link to another page rather then have to make a dot on the state

Here is my page: [URL] I want to be able to click the top pulldown and have it stay until i click anywhere again. Currently it is just a mouseover. I can't seem to figure out how to make this happen. I've tried the different states but no luck. If i wanted to make the moviego back up when clicked again, do i need to make a separate movieclip with the reverse animation and another layer in my button?

Is it possible to tween the up and over state of a button without making it a movie clip? I just have a button that inverts its bg and text color on over, and I'd like to tween that in the simplest way possible.

Here is what I am working on. [URL]
I am creating an interactive map. It has little bullets that, when you hover over them, display a short description of the room and a link to another page. What I am trying to do is make it so that the user can hover off of the bullet, and onto the link to the seperate page, without the link and description disappearing because of leaving the bullet's "hit" area.
Do I have to define another hit area for the description and link somehow?

I have a document which is basically a catalogue page, and I'm trying to make it so that when you click on an image, a movieclip of the image fading in larger appears, so it will look essentially like it's been zoomed in. To do this I put the movieclip inside a button. I have the button working fine, when you click it, it does exactly what it's supposed to, but I have no idea how to set it so that when the button is clicked it stays in the 'down' position, so you don't have to hold the mouse down. And also how to get back to the main screen afterwards, since the movie does take up the entire stage when played. Is it possible to do this?

I'm working on a dress up game and I have one problem with it. There are so many items of clothing (which are movie clips with the basic drag and drop code) that I had to create different pages for them. I have buttons (labeled like "dresses", "pants" etc) that when clicked on make that group of items appear. So, great. It's just that once an item has been dragged over to the doll and put in place, I want it to STAY there. But as soon as you click on a different page, that item disappears. Is there any way to make items stay on the doll, even though they're part of a page?

I need to add a rollover effect to the disabled state of a Spark button. This way, users can rollover the button and know why the button is disabled.I think I would have to override ButtonBase's getCurrentSkinState. Is there anyway to test if a mouse cursor is over a disabled button?

I have a website with a very simple code that gives all the buttons in the menu an animated rollover and rollout state. When the buttons are clicked, I have a movie clip with all the content which goes to a specific frame label depending on which button is clicked. Very simple, no problems there. But what I can't figure out how to do, is to add a variable so that when each button is clicked, it stays in the over state until another button is clicked (at which point I'd like it to go to the out state, while the new button would go to the over state.)I found several examples of codes that do this, but I can't figure out how to modify them so that when a button is clicked, it also goes to a specific frame label in the content movie clip, so that the content for each section can be displayed the same way is in the original version.[code]

I am making a widget in AS3, looks like a equalizer.
I'm having the problem when swf reloads, everything will reset. Is there a way to keep this from happening. I was thinking maybe XML.
I am thinking as the user scrubs it is writing the XY coordinate to the xml doc but i dont think that can work because the xml doc would then haft to be saved.
Any thoughts on what key words I need to search for in the net.

I have two buttons assigned like this:
buttonprev.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, image_previous);
buttonnext.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, image_next);
These events fire a function which looks like this: loader.load(new URLRequest(getPath()));
My other code is:
loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT,initHandler);

I'm doing a simple 2 button menu. Each button is a movie clip with 3 labels for the states "none" "selected" and "hover". smartBtn needs to be set to "selected" on enter frame. When cinemaBtn gets clicked, smartBtn should go to its "none" state. But I'm not sure why smartBtn keeps on being selected.

I've done an all-nighter & and am having a mind-blank.

I have a series of buttons inside an array. I am trying to get the buttons so that once they are pressed, they remain in the over state. Which is a darker color than the up state. So that people know which button they have pressed. Is there an easy way to do this for buttons?

Is there a way of telling a MC button to have a hit state like a normal button? I have some text popping up away from my MC button that is included in the hit state. When I roll over the main button the text pops up. But also, when I roll over where the text pops up it also triggers the pop up animation.

This is hard to explain. Basically the user needs to choose their sex and type in their name then press the continue button. The gender selection is a bathroom identificationesque picture of a girl and boy. The boy is blue and the girl is pink. When you roll over the boy, it becomes a lighter blue and when you roll over the girl it becomes a lighter boy.
What I don't know how to do is that when you click on the boy, it stays a lighter blue, and lighter pink for the girl. That way they can see what selection they made. Also, when you click the boy then click the girl, the girl will become highlighted and the boy no longer will be (so you can only choose one gender). How do I do this? And how do I tell the program to store the info for later use? (when gender is important). I know that this type of action is used often in games so hopefully someone can help me.

I have a menu with five items in it. Every menu item is two words, both grey, and is a button. When the button is rolled over the second word goes red. So far, so easy. However, when the button is clicked and sends the timeline to the correct frame label, I want that button to stay in its grey/red state, in other words its rollover state. Is it possible to label a frame inside a button timeline, in the same way as one would in a movie clip, and then send the play head to that?
Or maybe there are some really easy and obvious solutions that I haven't seen that I would be grateful to hear about.
