ActionScript 2.0 :: Create Advanced Rollovers On The Main Stage?
Jul 23, 2004
I used the tellTarget method to create advanced rollovers on the main stage. They work great.
I created another advanced rollover button, but this one is inside of a movie clip called "project1_movie". Project1_movie only comes up when a button is clicked, using 'attachMovie' (if that makes sense). The advanced rollover inside of the movie clip "project1_movie" will not work. I get the error message:
Target not found: Target="/rollover1" Base="_level0.project1_movie"
Target not found: Target="/rollover1" Base="_level0.project1_movie"
I did give the rollover movie clip the instance name "rollover1".
I have tried out on the advanced roolover buttons in this tutorial [URL]. But the problem now is tat I have a button a red crab when I rollover it it will become a crab grey button. I have 2 separate buttons for the crab. While basically the grey crab button's animation lies in the same movie clip as the word tween. So what I want is when I roll over the red crab it will display the grey crab, and when i roll out the grey crab will fade away to the red crab. And also when I clicked on the grey crab when the mouse is hovering over it it will open up another movie clip. There's also some mistake with the grey crab it only seem to be working when it is in graphic but want I want is a button. I can't assign ant actionscript codes to it if it only works in a button.
My problem that I'm having is I am trying to build a menu consisting 3 buttons, side by side that open and reveal subnavigation buttons on rollover. Then on rollout of the main container button, they close back to where they were. I have built the buttons and everything works great, the only problem is that on rollover of the internal buttons, the main button senses this as a roll out and plays the rollout animation event (closes the button). How can I make the main button not sense the rollovers of the internal buttons and only play the rollout event on rollout of the main button?
I'm trying to create tool tip rollovers for buttons, a little bubbled message that pops up and follows the cursor while the cursor is ontop of a button. Kinda like the tooltips in windows, instead it moves. Hope that makes sense. the problem i'm having is creating a loop within the rollOver event so that the x/y co-ords for my tooltip movieclip updates each time the mouse moves is there any other way of doing this? here's what i have so far
[Code]...
the problem with what i have now is that the tooltip movieclip doesnt continue to move along with the cursor while on rollOver
I am trying to create rollovers in dropdown menus that i have. I am having a problem with the rollovers on the same dropdown all playing at the same time. The rollovers play backward and forward correctly as they should but when you mouse over one of seven they all play.the invisible button to animate the rollover:
on (rollOut) { _root.direction = "backwards"; } on (rollOver) { _root.direction = "forwards"; }
on the movieclip with the rollover animation in it:
I'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.

I am designing a web application in Flex 4 and currently facing an issue rendering advanced HTML tags and entities in Flex 4. All I want to do is basically render an HTML text coming to me something like the one given below:-
I'm googling this as I speak, but I have a movie clip called intro_mc that plays in frame 1. My introduction(it's a web portal project that will be published to a server at college) is on frame 2. Can anyone help with the AS code that will take me from the played movie clip on 1 to the main page on 2? The movie clip stops at the end.
I have a mc, "Transition", on my main stage. It does an animation. At the end of the animation I would like it to gotoAndPlay("music"). The problem is that "music" is on on my main stage. Is there any way possible to jump from a frame of a movie clip to a specific frame on the main stage?
I have a very simple .fla. One frame, one button on the main stage. I have named the button and when I right click>actions, it says I can't put actions in this area. So then I put the Actions on the main timeline/keyframe. The code below works, but I can't get code to work in the button that I placed on the main stage. This button is dynamically placed by the first two lines of code.
Code: var MyButton:ButtonOne = new ButtonOne(); MyButton.x = 100; MyButton.y = 300; addChild(MyButton); MyButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,startMC); function startMC(event:MouseEvent){ myMovieClip.gotoAndPlay(11); }
If I try to just have the code that looks something like this.. Code: ButtonOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMC); //movie clip function startMC sits here.. I get an error saying the symbol doesn't exist.
If I wanna to access a variables which located on frame 1 of the main stage, can I write a script to access that in a movieclip which located in frame 2?
Or the movieclip has to be in frame 1 to access that variable using parent method?
I want to have a hidden menu so I have put some buttons in a MC and added it to the main stage but I am having trouble controlling the stage with the buttons in the movie clip. I think I need to reference the main stage some how... parent or something like that but I'm not really sure and don't know where to put the code.
From within a movie clip, I'm trying to update variables on my main timeline. I tried both _parent.variablename and _root.variablename, but neither worked.
Can I add a ProgressEvent listener to the stage? I don't see it in any of the auto-complete options when I am typing in Flex. What do people normally do to get a progress readout of the entire main runner's loading progress? I try the following, which is where I would expect to see the ProgressEvent options pop up: stage.addEventListener(
I'm new to AS3, and am having issues loading external swf files so that they appear on top of entities on the main stage. My main stage is an interface, and as buttons are pressed, external swf files are loaded. Some parts of the external swf files are meant to display over the interface, but they are under it.
Here's my code: var _dummy1:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(_dummy1); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("external.swf"); import flash.events.MouseEvent; Button47.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,bClick3 ); function bClick3(event:MouseEvent):void { _dummy1.unload(); _dummy1.load(url); }
how to import them in to the mc's on the main stage: they are named mc1, mc2 to mc6.Also, because the images will vary in width and height, I need to align them to the center horizontally, and aligned at the bottom of the holding mc.

Im trying to get the X, Y of a Movie clip (well call it "target_mc").its inside of a parent MC (well call it...."parent_mc")but im trying to get the X,Y as they relate to the main stage(_root).so far the two methods ive used are
it seemed like the first method(the one in the code block) places it at the starting position of the MC i need the location of, but to further complicate it the parent_mc is a rotating clip(Ive got code to make it follow the mouse).how i can place this in a location that is changing whenever the mouse moves
Is there an easier way to set up 6 different similar tweens? I can't seem to get a "for" loop to work - Each of the nested clips is sitting on the main stage. The following code works, but it's way too long:
I just began learning AS3. I'm simply trying to play an FLV video. How do you attach the video object to the main stage? I tried but it said that "stage" was undefined.
I want to create a container MC on the main timeline and have different buttons that load a different navigation within the same container, and also has a preloader.
I am trying to create an array on the main timeline that I can access from scripting in other movie clips. I have tried putting the _global. in front of my array initialization like this
_global.array_name:Array = new Array();
but i get a syntax error. how can I make my array global?
