On my stage, I have a movieclip, in the movieclip (movieclip A), I have a dynamic text box and {another movieclip with buttons in it} (movieclip B). How do I rollover a button in movieclip B so that the dynamic text box in movieclip A will show a word. For example, I rollover the 'News' button and the text box will show the word 'news' I have tried
_root.(variable name) = "News"
But it does not work...
I have a set of 9 buttons, all have the 4 rollover stages, i.e up, over, down and hit. I want the hit stage to remain in bold color, till the user selects another button. How do I code this?
View 3 RepliesI've got an issue - When one of my buttons is rolled over, I want text and a movieclip to appear. When the button is no longer rolled over, I want the text and movieclip to disappear. The way that I was going to do this was to have anchor_mc as an anchor, and upon rollover have the movieclip play from inside the anchor (as its at the exact X & Y that its needed at) and dynamic text appear.

1) Is there an alternative way of doing the below, to avoid so many listeners?
2) Can the below functions be merged into one?I've tried merging them into one using IF statements, for example:
if(event.target.name == line1)
{
line_output.text = "This is a test made by the MonkeyTest that has previously messed up
And testing a new line";
gotoAndStop(2);
}
However this does not work, and gives an error.
3) I had to get the background to display by moving to the next frame. I could not work out how to get the textbox to appear at a specific XY, or how to get the textbox to disappear after a rollover. Is there a better way to do this, or is what I'm doing acceptable? (NOTE: Textbox is a Movieclip)

View 4 RepliesI 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);

View 5 RepliesI've a main movie, for example, this movie has 3 buttons, in each button there's a MovieClip in the Over area, for example button1 contains a MovieClip with some animation, this clip has an Instance name clip1_mc, ok, untill this, everything it's ok, the effect it's easy to achieve, when I rollover my mouse over that button, the clip called clip1_mc starts to play, piece of cake, the problem is this, what happens if I call an extrenal .SWF, this .SWF contains a simple button, when I rollover this button I want to play my clip inside in my button in my main Movie, I cannot do this, I was trying with something like this:
on (rollOver) {
_parent.clip1_mc.play();
}
But this is not working.
Whenever I am trying to do, the button rollover work, and put the dynamic text on top of it. The area outside the text is reacting to the rollover, but when I rollover on the text, I lost the rollover effect of the button under.The only way I have found to work around this, is to create another mc, invisible, on top and covering the button and create a script to activate the button rollover effect under... but is it the only way?
I don't have to do all this with static text, but the font react bad with rollovers or some other effects.
I'm trying to create reusable rollover button states with dynamic/changing text - any cleaver workaround for that?

View 1 RepliesI create a button(MC) and want to duplicate it and easily change the text inside this button... basically I have an mc that acts as a button so inside the mc I have text that I added that animates on mouse rollover. Now I duplicate this mc in the library go into the mc and want to change the text, and when I do, the text in the original button also changes. This happens because the text is a Tween so it's using the same tween from the library for the new button. Is there a quick way to avoid this? I don't see anyway other than typing in the text again in the new button and animating it again.
