I'm trying to create a menu, where some buttons becomes visible when the user "rollOver" a box the buttons is beneath. Look at http:[url]... menu system, at the main page.I place my buttons within a MC, and gives the MC this AS:
But when I move the mouse over the buttons, they aren't enabled, probably because flash got the idea that the MC is above the buttons, and that the MC is a button.
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.
So below is my code for a project I'm working on. I'm having some trouble though. I got the code for the scrolling menus online from another forum, but I can't figure out where that was. In any case, the current version of the code allows for the scrolling to happen when I open the page displays (enter Frame). But I can't figure out how to get the scrolling to happen only when I hover over the menu. I only want each one to scroll when I hover over the menu, not when I get on the page. I tried to replace the "enterFrame" part of the code, but it didn't work right. I need this done ASAP.
I am building a fake Windows looking OS in Flash for a project of mine. So far I have a clickable start menu, and I want the categories inside the start menu to be able to be rolled over like in Windows and open up to clickable links. Just click the start menu in Windows, and then scroll into "All Programs". I want to be able to have scrolling buttons like that. I am using Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Actionscript 3.0. I've only ever used Flash in the past to make cartoons and things of that nature.
I'm designing a site for a friend and I have a menu bar across the top with 6 buttons. I made your basic rollover with CSS, but now I'm asked if something can be done about the abrupt change from the down state to the rollover state. Not knowing much at all about Flash, I thought this would be pretty simple and a good way to get acquainted with the program. But after spending hours today rummaging through Google I'm considering digging my eyes out with a spoon. It seems that no tutorial quite tells me what I need to do, and when I try to adapt what I'm told to what I need, it all stops working. There seems to be a dozen different ways to do the same thing and now I'm just really confused. So here is what I need:
When you mouse over the button, it quickly transitions/fades into the highlight/rollover image. When you move the cursor away, it fades back to normal. And *possibly* a quick transition to another highlight on click.
I have created an XML driven Drop Down menu using the kirupa tut by Senocular found here. I am trying to figure out how to get the submenus to push the rest of the main menu down on rollover kind of like this. Not sure where to start to get the AS to get the button created fromt he XML nodes to move down.I haven't changed the code found int he tut too much and the menu works fine except that the rollovers just go over the main menu.
I am having trouble with a job I am doing at the moment which has an mc with buttons within it. I want it so that when I roll over the mc it tweens from a small version to a larger version, and on this mc there are some buttons. At the moment I can get the mc to move but the buttons remain inactive and also the rollover states on the buttons don't work. I have attached a simpler version of what I am trying to do to this post.
I'm creating a menu system, the text buttons should, on rollover, move all buttons to the left (of the button currently rolled over) 100 pixels, in the gap created a sub menu running vertically will appear which will break into a 2nd horizontal submenu etc. I'm still in the early stages, and have hit a stumbling block, I placed a trace (this); cmd in root of the roll over function then again in each segement of the IF/ELSE loop inside that fuction. The trace CMD in the root of the rollover gives me the feed back _level0.btn1 or 2 or what ever button I have rolled over but the ones inside the IF/ELSE loop all say _level0.btn0 regardless of the button I roll over!
I need a tutorial for a hierarchical drop down menu system that drops down 3 sub levels. Do I make the items in the sub menus individual buttons and then insert them into a movie clip or make every sub menu item a movie clip and insert them into buttons?
I am looking at creating a menu with three movieclip buttons on a main menu. I want to keep these buttons on the top of the screen at all times. I am opening different swf's and I want to make sure that the buttons are still showing. I know there is something with changing or swapping the depth of the movie clip when it loads the new swf's in, but I have not found anything that is seeming to work.
I am creating a navigation bar in Flash (which will then be used in Dreamweaver). When you mouse over each topic in menu (ex. Products), i want it play a movie clip (so it shoots out a sub-menu underneath). so far so good, but the only thing is, the sub-menu won't stay open in order for me to click on buttons in it. For each button, I assigned it the Behavior to go to a url. Also, I tested the buttons within the mc and they don't seem to direct me to url. do you think maybe it's because it's nested within the movie clip?? Is there an easier way to go about this?
I have a scroll over menu that works great (see code below) But I only want it to work when I scroll over the menu. Right now, it activates and scrolls even when I'm not hovering over the menu. My canvas is about 800x400 and the scroll over menu is only 200x350. I tried: on rollover disable but that did not work.

stop(); ym = 5; //function to set the xpos of the movieclip function ypos(bar_length, mul) {
so i am parsing an xml file and each node becomes a button. ifigured out how to make each click work properly, but i can not getthe rollovers to work. with the code below makes it register youare rolling over one of the buttons, but it only shows the rolloveron the last button in my list. im thinking its because i am notreferencing my button correctly, but im not sure what the referenceis because the buttons are created through iterations.
I'm trying to make a menu that has onRelease buttons on top of onRollover buttons (the onReleases are on a separate layer from the onRollovers). The onRelease buttons take the user to different urls, and the onRollover buttons are supposed to allow different parts of the menu to appear.
The onRelease buttons work fine, but I can't get the onRollover buttons to work consistently. Sometimes the onRollover buttons will correctly advance to a different frame, and sometimes they "stick" and do not advance. The script has no errors and I've tried changing the sizes of the onRollover buttons (in case they were too large and the cursor was hovering over more than 1 at the same time), changing the order of the code for the onRelease and onRollover commands (in case the onRollovers were being superseded by the onRelease commands), and countless variations of the layers and frames.
I'm sure that you'll want to see the script, but I don't think that pasting it all on this post would be reasonable? So I've put the .fla and the .swf on this page for reference: [URL]
I would like to do something like the menu on the left hand side of this page: [URL] I am after the effect where the color fades in when rolled over and fades out when the mouse leaves the area.
Everything works fine but it seems but it seems that when I roll over the menu items the menu goes back up! It's just when your roll over the menu items it is actually leaving it the movieclip?
I have a question about the navigation of this movie website, (inside content) they have this springy menu when you rollover the menu inside the page (the backstage button)
wonder if anyone can help me with the actionscript used in this particular effect[URL]..
I have a flash movie with a hidden menu. The hidden menu will appear whenever theres a rollover at the portion that says 'quick menu' . This portion of the quick menu btn is visible to users.
Now here's the problem: After writing the OnRollOver tween for ._y , the individual btns on the menu stop working, the trace dun even work !!!!
Here's the sample(.swf) and working file(.fla) http://www.greenimagination.com/preview/pacodis/scope/ .
[URL] I finally figured out how to get my rollover links to work, but now I need to figure out how to make the bottom links move. For example, when we rollover the Arizona Link, we want the California and Contact Us links to move BELOW the Arizona rollovers. And same thing for when the California link is rolled over, we want the Contact Us link to move BELOW the California roll overs. I feel like it's just a matter of simple code manipulation where I have the rollover code for the individual links, the code I have is below:
I have a .FLA that is working perfectly in AS2 that needs to be migrated to AS3. I am an AS3 beginner and cannot figure out for the life of me how to translate my code where i'm trying to execute a command in nested movie clip (i.e. something like parent.MyMovie.gotoAndPlay(2) or parent.MyMovie.currentframe = 2 ) - it keeps returning a 'possibly undefined instance / function' error and because it cycles through all the frames I can't even tell if ANY of my code is working or not.Here are the two files:Here is the code from the _southamerica movieclip that contains the rollover:
frame 1 (menu has not yet dropped down - 'clearbox' is the clip that should be moused over and 'mousegetoutsa' is the clip that senses that the mouse has left the area) mousegetoutsa.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OV ER, mouse_get_out);
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 have this menu that gets the number of buttons and subbuttons depending on the xml file. it attaches the buttons to an empty movie click. the same's happening to the subbuttons - they get attached to a different empty mc. everything works fine there. My question is how do make the subbutons in that mc to fade in on rollOver of a button one by one and then fade out again one by one on rollOut. I will probably need to set up some sort of a loop. just having a hard time on where to start. here are the fla and the xml files. [edit]bump..why can't we upload fla's anymore?
I got this movieclip. With actionscript I attached a new movieclip to this one, as a popup menu, which will show on rollover. Inside this movieclip, it automatically makes textfields, as menu options (information I receive from a XML document). The problem is, that I cannot get it to respond on a onRelease function on those text fields, and I do not know why.
I'm creating a roll over menu where, when your mouse is hovering over a button, a menu below that button appears, and then you can go over that new menu and click another button which links to a different page. My problem is that when you hover over the new menu that appears, the whole menu flashes rapidly. This only happens when I try to place a button on the new menu.
I am making a videoplayer for an embedded flv and I want the menu mc to appear when the mouse pointer is on the video. My problem, is that inside that mc I have 4 buttons (play, pause, stop, volume). When I make the rollOver, the menu is visible but the buttons are not clickable...
Code: _root.menu_mc.play_btn._visible = false; var silencio:Boolean = false; var s:Sound = new Sound(root); s.setVolume(100); _root.menu_mc.onRollOver = function() { [Code] .....
I am currently making an interactive Map, as i rollover to a certain continent, the continent will light up in a yellow highlight, afterward as i click on the continent the box menu will pop up on top of the continent, everything went fine until i browse around inside the box menu( the box menu is bigger than the continent,..wider) cause at one point the cursor will go to a certain area inside the box menu that is not on top of a part of the continent, That's when the yellow highlight went down. I was just wondering how do i make sure the yellow highlight on the continent stays on while i freely browse around the box menu( which is wider than the continent)
I am trying to build a website that uses the XML menu in kirupa tutorials. However, I am trying to customise it but I am having problems trying to solve this impossible task! Basically, instead of it being a drop down menu, I am trying to make the menu work on Click instead on RollOver. When the user clicks "on" a link, the link will keep an on state. And when the user clicks on the sub link, that sub link will keep an "on" state.
However, when the user selects a different menu item on the main level, the other "on" states will turn off. So basically I am trying to set up perhaps a variable that remembers which menu item is on and loops through the same level and automacally switches the other items off. Is that confusing? I AM!
I've got an area that, when you rollOver, tweens out a group of menu items. These menu items change colour when you mouseover. When you rollOut of the whole area, the menu tweens back. It seemed like the most simple thing to do, but it keeps giving me trouble! What I've got at the moment is an invisible symbol over the top of the rollOver area, including where the menu sits. The menu items are individual buttons for the mouseOver effect. I've got a full page invisible area (my standard technique - I call it "blockout") sitting right at the back, so when you rollover that (and off of the invisible area) the menu tweens off.
I can't just use rollOut invisible area because hovering over the buttons triggers that response and causes the menu to tween off. I've had to do plenty of similar things for work (apparently 'basic flash' to them meant I can do complex AS-based apps), and just tend to use my blockout method, but now that it's my own site, I'd like to do it right! If anyone knows a better way to do it,
