how to create a rollover description whereby when i rollover a button a description box pops up at the bottom which either scrolls information or shows shows some text.
I've created my buttons and have used "hover captions" which have worked perfectly, however i would like a description box at the bottom of my button so when i rollover the button some text scrolls or just displays a box where i could put a lot of text.
I want to create a URL link for the description text. Everything works fine until I get to the actual link - it's displaying the HTML. I've clicked on the HTML button in the properties inspector for the text field (see the attached photo); I've also added the following in the AS:
Code:
desc_txt.html = true;
desc_txt.multiline = true;
No luck; it's still displaying the HTML.
Code:
function nextImage() {
if (p<(total-1)) {
p++;

create a rollover button that once hovered over would create the snow and once 'un-hovered over' (<---:s) the snow would stop falling. I tried creating the button but kept getting errors etc.... Im a total noob (been using flash for about 1 month) if you could give us a hand that would be great....
View 5 RepliesIm looking to create a rollover animation that looks like the one you will find on the 2advanced sites lower navigation bar. Click on the button "view demo reel" for the example.
View 1 RepliesI am just learning Flash and ActionScript and I am having a tough time with AS syntax. I am trying to create a rollover navigation effect similar to that of Gnomon School.
View 1 RepliesI am creating some buttons for a menu, and am using movie clips so that I can have a multi-frame effect on them when you roll over them. The buttons are flowers that bloom on rollover, and I only want them to play once- so the first time you roll over them they bloom, and then they stay in that state as long as you're on the page.
So far I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. I can create the animated rollover effect, but the next time I rollover them, it plays again from frame 1. I've tried using a variable that increases by one every time you roll over it, and then if it's greater than 0 it doesn't play, but I don't know how to set it to 0 at the beginning without it setting to 0 every time you roll over it.
I'm pretty new to Flash, and I want to create a button like these.I understand how to make a basic rollover button, but I haven't got a clue how to do animation like that.URL...

I know how to create button rollovers but that seems a bit tedious if im going to constantly change the content and links.I have added links that work and have colored them to show users they are links but id like a simple rollOver color change to occur when the user navigates over them. I have seen this done in many flash sites and have been searching for days without any luck.
Do i need to call external CSS or an xml/txt file to do this as there is no option to add actionscripting to selected text within the box.
I'm interested in learning how to create a "3d" object that a user can interact with using their mouse. I've taken 60+ pictures of a camera rotating by 5 degree increments and I'm trying to put together something similar to what Verizon has on their website for phones - Where your mouse rolls over an object and rotates it.
I've seen this done with Java as well, but I'm interested in how flash does it.

View 4 RepliesI'm looking to create a simple effect using AS2. I need to create a rollover effect on a movie clip that would in turn blur out of focus everything else behind it (Not selected).
Let me know if this does not make sense. I'm looking for guidance on how to achieve this effect optimally.
I am trying to create a simple pie chart that has rollover states, and when clicked brings up a first column of text, then when a field is clicked brings up a second column and then a third. There will be around 100 different text fields show up. Now at this stage I have about 40 functions setup and about 25 event listeners and I havent even started on the text fields yet.
My question is do I need to continually write new functions for text to appear, then a second to disappear and trigger the next filed OR is this what Variables are for?
I think this sounds very confusing so I have attached the file. Please help as I have a crazy deadline on this and simply can't work it out, unless I continue on my road of endless functions.

I'm using CS5 actionscript 2. I would like to create hovering text when one mouses over an item in the navigation window (please see pic). You know, something that would act like a brief abstract to give the user more info re: whether or not they need to click on that link.At present, the nav_mc is linked to an xml doc FYI (the nav_mc accordians in and out, but doesn't have to). I input what I want the menu and submenu to say in the xml nodes and it shows up. It would be cool if the hover text added could also be xml driven tooI am green to this so the more detail the better. Do I need to create a new xml doc? new .swf? How do I link this? Should I use Flash Builder or Catalyst?
View 6 RepliesI'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?
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to create flash rollovers for buttons that play the full rollover animation even if you roll of it, and if you stay on it if will play once and not keep repeating. The rollover animation is only short, about 2 seconds, but which ever way I try it I can't get it to play the full clip if you roll off, either that or it will play the full clip but keep repeating if you keep the mouse on it.
At the moment it is just a movieclip in a rollover keyframe of a button.This has stumped me for years. Other sites seem to do it fine (off the top of my head the 4 menu rollovers at the bottom of http:[url].... do it - if you rollover each one left to right in one go they do a kind of Mexican wave) but I just can't see a way of doing it.

View 1 RepliesI'm in the process of learning OOP and have run into a small problem. I'm trying to create a basic menu system where you can rollover and rollout of all links. When you select a link, it stays highlighted until you click another link.I've given the 5 links instance names like (link0, link1, link2, link3, link4) and given them each an ID of (0,1,2,3,4) - respectively.

In AS2, I was able to create an rollover and rollout state that utilized the nextFrame() and prevFrame() commands. When hovering over the hit target, a specific movie clip would continuously advance to the next frame using an onEnterFrame command. Conversely, in a rollout state, the movieclip would play backwards until it reached the first frame.
I could specifically use some help with how to implement the onEnterFrame command so that the nextFrames and prevFrames constantly run.

I'm trying to create a simple interactive animation for a website that consists of three rollover areas on a page. When you mouse over an area, a bit of explanatory text is revealed by animating a mask over some text. The text is left displayed until a mouseover of a different area occurs.Let's call the three mouseover targets A, B, and C.A MOUSE_OVER event listener is registered for all three targets. In the event handler for each, I'm following a pattern like this:
Code:
A.transform.colorTransform = highlighted;
B.transform.colorTransform = notHighlighted;
