I've created a rotating navigation menu with 4 parts/submenus. To make the rotation/spinning graphics look smoother On rollover of one of the submenu/movieclip (the rotation will stop and continue on rollout), it should hide/decrease the alpha of other submenus, so a rollover effect could be seen. I've already tried with this:
Code:
_parent.MCInstanceName._alpha = 30;
But when on mouse rollout, the hovered submenu/movieclip does not continue to rotate.
I have used code in the "Complex Button RollOut/RollOver Effects" tutorial for a menu in my media, but after trying and trying I can't make the button stop on last size when I click it, and the then make it play again when click it a second time.
how to open a new window when you click on the button, I am looking to jump to a frame label in the same movie, I tried adding the goto function in place of the get url but it wont work. This button is on the main timeline in scene 1 and I need it to go to a frame thats labeled port on its release.
here is a link to the tutorial you currently have: [URL]
I know a lot of people had asked questions about this Complex Button RollOver/RollOut Effects.url...This tutorial is very helpful, but i am having trouble with linking the button to my movie clip container.In the tutorial the code is this:[code]I am trying to combine with this tutorial:url...But i want the button onRelease to load a swf into my mc_container, but when i click the button it doesn't load my movies. does anyone know the code i need for this button to load external swf's into my conatiner, through this complex button?[code]
I was following the tutorial for the RollOver/RollOut effects button...and I came into a snag. Everything worked great...with exception for a little bit that I wanted to change.
I wanted the rollover/rollout effect but have multiple buttons with different links. In this tutorial, you can only go to one URL. I was interested in using the rollover/rollout feature as part of a dropdown menu in flash. [URL].Is there any way to take the following line of code and play with the instance names?
I need some help figuring out why my rollout is not working on this menu:I put some little close buttons at the bottom just to link them closed for now.Rollout isn't working.My code for each link is a movie clip with two frames for example links on "mens"Frame 1:
I have downloaded the following code and tried to change it. It works so far, but the attached MC are "pulsating" - if I change them with another MC (with text inside) I can't use them as a Menu links - they are "pulsating" too much and I can't read/see the text properly. where in code I can change(reduce) this "pulsation"? how can I make the MC-s cklickable=working as a buttons with mouseover/mouseout effects (changing color etc.)
I'm trying to create a pop-up menu. I've gotten it to work, however, I'm using an invisable button to control when the mouse is over, or when it leaves so that the menu will hide itself back down. It seems that when I but a button or ANYTHING using the rollOver or rollOut tags that it messes with the invisable button and hides the menu. I figure I need a hitTest?
I've created a rotating navigation menu with 4 parts/submenus. I'm having trouble of figuring the following:
1. To make the rotation/spinning graphics look smoother
2. On rollover of one of the submenu/movieclip (the rotation will stop and continue on rollout), it should hide/decrease the alpha of other submenus, so a rollover effect could be seen. I've already tried with this:
Code: _parent.MCInstanceName._alpha = 30;
But when on mouse rollout, the hovered submenu/movieclip does not continue to rotate.I've attached my source files if you guys want to have a look at it. Please help me, because I am pretty much a newbie at AS and I'm hitting a dead end.
I am trying to figure out how to make a bottom bar similar to the one seen ontions inside the bar- here's what I've got so far:as you can see I have a date/time MC inside the bar_mc which is working fine but whenever I try to have a new rollover/rollout movieclip (or button) inside the bar_mc it won't work/won't show rollover animation.
On the attached swf you'll see my slowly rotating menu. Each of the icons around the outside is a button which takes u to a specific page. When the user rolls over the button I want the menu to stop rotating, and if the user moves the mouse away I want the menu to continue rotating. Should I be using mc instead of a button?
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.
*trouble with gotoandplay and roll out functions* basically i have an after effects movieclip (followed the after effects button tutorial on this site) that i have made into a button. it works ok on rollover and rollout i use tweener which works a treat and when i click it goes to another frame and plays a small sequence of smoke exploding.
problem: its a look problem really. when i rollout the smoke click sequence tweens back to frame 0 as per my rollout instructions IS there a way for me to have the click smoke sequence play all the way through before going back to frame 0 on my rollout ? i see tweener has a oncomplete statment is that of anyuse? ive tried a few thigns but it always reverts to the rollout and reverses the footage.
I have a rotating menu that sets the selected button to the 3:00 position once clicked. I need the labels for the buttons to stay in the upright position as they rotate with the button. I have attached an image. Anyone know of an action script that would keep the labels upright?
There is a flash which have a small navigation on the buttom. There is a small arrow on the buttom when the mouse rollover on the arrow the arrow is gone dissaper and the navigation show on the stage. When i rollout the mouse its collaps but when my mouse pointer is in the swf area. If i have rollout quickly form the navigation out of the swf area (on html). It's not working.
I've created this thumbnail navigation bar that uses XML to get an external image, title, and link information. It then uses attachMovie() and a for loop to generate the listing. It all works like it's supposed to!
However I am now having two problems. The first, since I am loading in an image I would like to have a preloader appear in all the thumbnail containers before the thumbnail image loads in. I have a simple circle preloader in each thumbnail module that I would like to hide it once the image loads in.
The second issues and perhaps the more important one is that the site is color coded meaning once you click on a navigation button the site color scheme changes to a different color. I put all the instance names of the site elements into an array and then created a color change function with a switch statement to had the color change. However I cant seen to include the newly attached thumbnails into this array so they don't change color along with everything else on the website. I'm completely suck on this and have no idea how to go about making this color change happen. I'm frustrate and I need help.
Here is my code:
First this is how I loaded the XML data and attach the thumbnails:
Code: var linkItem:Array = new Array(); var instanceNames:Array = new Array(); function loadHomeBar() {
[Code]....
I'm also attaching the zip file with everything I have coded so far fla, image, and xml files are included.
I have an issue with the attached project (Flash 8). On the rollOver event, the shapes are supposed to turn yellow. On the rollOut event, the shapes should fade back to blue.It works well except in the case when you quickly rollOver then rollOut several times (try it with the largest shape at the bottom). If you do it fast enough, it seems to get hung on 'blue', the initial color.
so I'm currently working on a project where I will have the user mouse over an image (in this instance, a paint can) and ideally a menu should scroll up with information (which is a movie clip) and when the mouse comes off the menu would scroll back in. What I've currently got going is the paint can image as a button, and on another layer I've got the movie clip at 0% opacity. The action itself works, but the point in which the user has to mouse over is very finicky. There must be something I'm missing. I've worked with Flash years ago, so I'm a bit choppy.
I've been searching around and can't quite seem to find the answer. I gather it's a problem with actionscript, but, i digress.
What's going on is if I move my mouse too fast it won't activate either the RollOver or RollOut, and it'll just stay. Is there a certain way I need to set everything so it will NO MATTER WHAT animate when rolledover, and then ALWAYS RollOut?
I have a button which on ROLLOVER shows a MOVIECLIP on the stage and on ROLLOUT it should remove it from the stage.Check out this code which perfectly works as i want
[Code]...
but my problem is wen i go back to same button after a rollover, the movie clip doesnt show or code does not respond.
I want to have a few menu buttons on my web page (home, about, contact etc.) and above them a bar (we'll call it 'grey bar' to make it a little easier to understand). When you roll over one of the buttons I want a small 'orange bar' to run along the 'grey bar' and stay over the button that you are hovering over. Then if you choose to rollout of the button the 'orange bar' will return to the page destination button that you're on. For example, if you are on the homepage the 'orange bar' begins over the 'home' button, then if you rollover 'about us' the 'orange bar' moves along the grey bar horizonatally to stay above 'about us', if you rollout it returns to 'home'.
Sorry if this isn't making much sense, i've attached the flash file so you can see what i am working with. I am just looking for a tutorial or some actionscript that will make it work. It's driving me crazy, I don't know if i should be looking to use a startDrag function (but i don't think you can use this with a rollover function) or a way to get the bar to follow the mouse.
I have been trying to build a navigation that has a rollout animation but functioning internal buttons. This navigation uses the theory I'm trying to recreate, it seems simple enough but I can't figure it out for the life of me![URL] I tried this variable, but it renders the internal buttons undetectable and is very unstable midanimation (if you rollover it while in transit, the button goes crazy):
