I like to know how to pursue this effect to have the active button highlighted. So visitors know which page are they on. Second part is how to have the fade out effect on the rest while have mouse over on certain text
View 9 RepliesMy question is, Is there a way to highlight and active button when i navigate to different page on my site?Home - highlighted when on the homepage
View 1 RepliesHere is the code on my buttons, which work fine.[code]...
How do I setup these buttons so that when button1 is clicked, and the button1 page is loaded, that the button stays in 'Over' state?
And just to elaborate, when button2 is clicked and loaded, I want button2 to be in 'Over' state while button1 goes back to normal.
So basically, how do I highlight the active menu item with my 'Over' state?
I found this script but it doesn't work. My buttons are not in a movieclip, and the instance names are but1-6.[code]The script is on a new layer called actions. Can anyone tell me why this script has NO effect whatsoever?
View 1 Repliesi have an array made of movieclip squares named "quiqua" that are positioned in a grid with coordinates (grouped into another array named "coo"). Both the arrays have a numeric variable named saturaz. when i click on the coordinates i want to highlight that coordinate and select only the elements which fit with the "saturaz" value. It works fine but I can't figure out how to tell Flash to highlight just a coordinate (and the squares that match with that value) at a time. This is the code.
Code:
var quiqua:Array = [rosa, blu, viola, giallo];
var coo:Array = [sat_sessanta, sat_settanta];
var saturaz = uint;

I have a menu with about 5 items, they all work great with this code on each one:
Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>1) {
_parent["b"+_root.link].play();
_root.link = 1;
_root.play();
}}
(The number 1 changes 2-5 depending on button)
Works great, now.. When I hover over a menu item is turns green, I click it, it takes me to the right page, but I want it to stay green. And when I click another page I want the other menu item to turn green and all other revert back to regular. How do I do this?
So, I've always struggled with the best way to do this. I have a method, but it seems like there's gotta be a better way.
Say you have an array of menu items
Code:
var menuArray:Arrary = [item1,item2,item3];
, and onRollOver they receive a certain color:
[Code]....
I realize that there's some additional code that would need to be written here, but you get the point. Basically what I'm doing is disabling the button so nothing happens onRollOut. Then I'm setting all the buttons colors to null, but changing whichever button was flagged as active to red.
It seems like a really ghetto way of doing this, and you notice a visible flicker in color of the active menu item if there are a lot of items in your array. Does anybody know a better way to handle this?
Is there a way in CS3 to preserve radio button state (selected or not) from frame to frame?I have a multi-frame app where users select either yes or no (radio buttons) to an array of questions; as they complete these questions they click a forward button to move on to the next frame (set of questions). But I am wanting to add a back button that allows them to go back and change their answers...how I can preserve the state of radio buttons clicked on previous frames, so that when they go back to a previous frame (or frames) those radio buttons they selected are still selected?
View 3 RepliesI 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:
[Code]...
In my code, when a user clicks on a button, I set the alpha of the button to 50 and set enabled=0. This works to essentially disable and grey out the button. The problem is that even though the button has been disabled, it still sits in the over state until the user moves the cursor off the hit area... Funny, no?
Since you can't tell a button what frame to go to, how do I get it to go back to its up state (without recreating all my buttons as movieclips and doing the whole thing manually)?
I want to make a button (or graphic) active and visible if another button is clicked. But it must be invisible and unclickable before the other button is clicked. (this is a "find the differences between the 2 pictures game" and I want circles to appear over the differences that the user finds but only after he clicks it)
The button (or graphic) I want to become active has instance name of "sockcircle_btn" The button you click to make it appear is called "sock_btn"
In the first frame of the sockcircle_btn layer, this is my code
sockcircle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,sockcircledisable);
function sockcircledisable(evt:MouseEvent):void{
sockcircle_btn.mouseEnabled = false;
}
In the sock_btn frame (frame 3) this is my code
sock_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,sockcircleenable);
function sockcircleenable(evt:MouseEvent):void{
sockcircle_btn.mouseEnabled = true;
}
The file is setup to loop between frames 2-3. But the sockcircle_btn never enables even when sock_btn is clicked.
I have some buttons placed on stage. Every button has s baseclass, Button.as.
What i wonder is how i in my baseclass can highlight the button that was clicked.. and then when another button is clicked highlight that one instead.. some current-button functionality.[code]...
I will try to explain my problem (I'm swedish...); If you look at the fla posted here and the trace information in the output panel when published, you see what the button is called. What I need is a way to use this info to create a code that makes the button blacked when clicked on and back to grey when some other btn is clicked.
View 4 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is highlight a movieclip button when it is clicked, and then remove that highlight when another movieclip button in the same menu is clicked.I think the problem is arising from the fact that the buttons temporarily highlight when rolled over. I have used the 'ROLL_OVER', and 'ROLL_OUT' event listeners to initiate the animation, so any attempt to keep the current button highlighted is quashed when the mouse is moved off the button.here is some of the code i have used
[AS]overview_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER , highlightMenu);
photography_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_O VER, highlightMenu);
overview_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, UNhighlightMenu);
[code].....
I have 3 buttons(say b1,b2,b3) in my app which are under the controlbaron clicking those buttons it will open new view(components)suppose if button b1 is clicked it should highlight the button b1(bg color change).how to go about this sorry if it is noob question as am new to this
View 3 Repliesi was trying to reproduce this nifty little effect of a springy rollover on a button, that can go from button to button, and also springs up when nothing is selected.
the effect i'm trying to reproduce is at:[URL]
go into the portfolio section and rollover any of the pieces. Now i've studied the tutorials for elasticity at kirupa and came up with a effect that is based on mouse-click and not on a button. [URL]
the 3 externally loaded SWFs rotate with fade in/outf effect on their own as well as per button click. What I would like to add to it is having the the buttons change appearance (Tint or anything) - just to show which slide the user is currently seeing. here's my code:
// Attach Musicvar req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("squeeak3.mp3");var sound:Sound = new Sound();var controller:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var b:Boolean;

Well, title explains all. I'm trying to get rid of the highlight that comes around of the selected button in a ToggleButtonBar
View 2 RepliesI have a menu with 5 selectable items. I would like to add a 6th. This is a side menu and they are stacked on top of each other.I would like to know how to highlight the current menu selection using flashvars and this page is html. Like I said I have searched but nothing is making sense and no one has offered to help as yet.Sometimes when I am browsing that site the flash menu up the top doesn't display, but hitting F5 brings it right up. There is a go to and play the last frame action in there. Could that be causing it? I have uploaded the file as well if anyone wants to have a look at that.Maybe someone can explain this to me Link to possible resolution. Here is a link to the page where it is in use, the site is yet to be finished.
I have uploaded the fla files into a zip.
Buttons allow 'Up' , 'Over', 'Down' and 'Hit area' , but how do you show an 'ON' status or 'ACTIVE'. Say the user has pressed the button and you want to show that it it active after the user has released and moved the mouse off the button?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to get some buttons to work that I have in a timeline. These buttons are on top of each other and are called to be visible only when a certain image comes up.my problem is the the topmost button is the only one active, because all the buttons are "on" even though you can't see them.currently buttons are set to alpha.0 at the beginning. I know there's a way for them to only be active when they are visible, but I can't find the documentation.I have my code started as such:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.ui.Mouse;[code]..........
then as the buttons come up I bring alpha to 1 over a period of time, but there's some trick to the visibility
I have a movieclip that reacts to the cursor postion, but when the movie is embed into a browser such as firefox, i dont want the button to be active until the cursor has actully rolled over the flash movie as it seems to be active before the cursor has hit the actual flash object?
View 3 RepliesI'm making a website in flash, inspired from this site : [URL]. I've done mouseover so that when you go over a circle you can see full text in the middle, but I don't know how to make the other "buttons"/circles fade white when I have my mouse over one of the circles. Please take a look at the webpage, it's kind of difficult to explain. [URL]. I'm using CS 5.5 and Actionscript 3
View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip that I'm using as a button- the rollover state is on frame two, the up state is on frame one and I used actionscript to apply the different actions. All of the actions work fine normally, but about 25% of the time only part of the button is active. The mouse doesn't change to the hand symbol and the rollover/release effects don't work on most of the button, just on a small band around the perimeter of the button. Its not like it happens every time and there doesn't seem to be any consistency in what causes it.
