ActionScript 2.0 :: Create Rollovers In Dropdown Menus?
Dec 3, 2004
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:
onClipEvent (load) {
this.stop();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
[code]....
These are in a movie clip nested in
Scene 1 > drop > Bar > webrollover

My question is in relation to AS3 dropdowns. You can check the page at: http:[url].....Under the "Visitors" and "Media" links, there are mouseover dropdown menus. You'll notice that they stick a little bit, and to make them go back up, you really have to hit very specific hit areas. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Note: I am only using the Flash animation in IE only as I created an equivalent, jQuery based animation for all other browsers (because, surprise, IE didn't handle the jQuery version).look at this in IE only.The Problemhen you hover over the dropdown menus, the Flash animation temporarily "freezes" and the continues. This causes choppy behavior in the Flash animation.

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 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'm trying to create an xml accordion menu that has main menus and a sub menus buttons (movieClips) revealed with a mask. Simple question, How do I stop the mask area which reveals the sub menus catching mouseEvents on the submenus?The main menu button is a movieClip, it has the mask sprite attached to it as a property so it can scale dynamically to reveal the subMenus. They are set as children of the main menu button container. In my code I've set mainMenu.mouseChildern = true. But when the mainMenu is clicked I change mouseEnabeled = false to help prevent the main menu receiving events. This helps on rollOver rollOut events, but when I click or mouseDown on the subMenu the mask catches the event also and activates the main menu again. I've tried the obvious mask.mouseEnabled = false; mask.mouseChildern = false; mask.hitArea = null; and even setting mask.alpha = 0 but this has no effect at all.
I don't understand why the mask has to extend the hitArea property of the mainMenu and why this can't be set to null. It also seems crazy that when mouseChildren = true the parent clip also has to receive notice of the event.

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'm working on a sort of AutoComplete component and faced one problem. When you create a new instance of a component, fill it with data - everything seems to be ok. When user types a letter in the inputField (and filter accepts one or few records) - everything goes alright, BUT if the first time user types a wrong letter (filter returned 0 records) - I'm getting a null-pointer exception.
This component is based on ComboBox. I have some thoughts about that: I suppose that the dropdown is not being created at time, any ideas on how to force my autoComplete to create it? I know 1 way - copy/paste some incapsulated code from ComboBox class .. but it would be too many of it .. I'm looking for a better solution.

I'm having with a menu navigation system. I'm using Flash MX. I have created a menu system for the site I'm building ([URL]) where one of the buttons "Choose photographer" drops down a list of names. All the other buttons just jump to another page. The drop down is currently using tweens also the logo moves to the left as the dropdown appears and returns when the dropdown returns. All working fine apart from its a bit jerky.
It's I just wanted to get away from tweening and use action scripts instead, as I'm a newbie to all things Flash I trawled the net for tutorials and examples so that I could cobble together the exact same effect. I have managed to get the drop down work and return using the action script and it does seem smoother and works slightly better. But can I get the logo to move to the left and back in time with the drop down...no.

I'm creating a webpage, and I have made some buttons.Image 1 is the homepage, which is frame 1 in Flash.Image 2 shows that when I rollover the button "Portfolio,"I get a dropdown menu.I have this set as frame 3 in Flash.Image 3 shows that I've gone down the dropdown menu and rolled over "Photography." But if I rollout of any of the things from the dropdown menu, it stays at Image 2 (Frame 3)with the dropdown menu visible. Which is a problem...I want to be able to rollout of these buttons to revert back to the homepage, Image 1 (Frame 1).But, for instance, telling "Graphic Design" to go to Frame 1 on rollout means that if I try to go below "Graphic Design" to "Photography," I've rolled out--and so the rest of the menu disappears.So I want to roll be able to select anything from the dropdown menu, and only rollout to Frame 1 if I go outside the entire dropdown menu, not just one button.

I have a bbq grill animated in flash that opens and closes on rollover and rollout. When the grill opens there are hamburgers and hotdogs. When you rollover the hamburgers and hotdogs a hover menu opens but this causes the grill lid to close because the hover menu is being triggered by the rollover from another button.

I'm a Flash novice and I can't seem to get this menu I'm working on to function just right.
[URL]
The problem I'm having is when you mouse out from one diamond to another, the menu doesn't always go back to normal. I guess it's because of the way my movie clips are positioned... If one clip on top of the other, the rollOut function doesn't work on the bottom element. If that makes sense. Probably best to just download my Flash file to see how it's set up:

how to set this menu up so it always fades back to normal when a diamond has been moused out? I've tried setting up rollOut functions on different buttons and can't get it to work...

So I'm actually doing something very simple here, but it's my first attempt at tweening things through code rather than on the timeline, so I'm pretty new at this. Basically I have a small image gallery, all the thumbnails are butted up against one another in a grid. When you roll over an image, the title should tween to reveal itself below the image. I have it set up so that both the image and title are in one movie clip, with the image on the top layer.
My code does work when you move your mouse slowly, however when you roll over and out really fast, the whole thing freaks out a little, and the titles don't tween back properly, they actually stay exposed even though they shouldn't. It looks like they kind of tween back, then pop out again, with out a tween. I linked to my current swf file so you can see for yourself. [URL].
Here is an example of my code which is iterated for every image.
MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,onMC);
MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,offMC);
var myTween:Tween;
MC.buttonMode = true;
function onMC(event:MouseEvent):void{
myTween = new Tween (MC.title,"y",Strong.easeOut,94.5,138,.65,true);
} function offMC(event:MouseEvent):void{
myTween = new Tween (MC.title,"y",Strong.easeIn,138,94.5,.35,true);
}

I currently have a flash file that has a whole bunch of buttons that are MC's with rollover and out states that open up a PDF when clicked.For each number (12-33) I have the MC with a new instance name and I am calling them with the following code:[code]So for each button I have this huge mess of code. There has to be a cleaner and more efficient way of doing this. Can you guys suggest anything?

As you can see the head moves to 4 different levels...
On the left in each on of those levels i want there to button one with there own rollovers
I would make them all one... but i want the head to move regardless of whether you're over the button...
PROBLEM: when you go over the button the roll over to move the head stops working and the head moves back to the original position
So how do define a overlapping hit areas

I am curious on how I can add springs into a basic motion tween for something like menus.
I checked out Kirupa's small tutorial but that is a constant, not something like rollovers. The basic idea is much like lots of other sites, I just want to add a little less ridged feedback from my menus.

Is it possible to have 2 images one for the menu and one for rollovers and have actionscript determine which buttons I rollover? For example - I have a menu that I created in a graphics program with a background color, 7 buttons (HOME, ABOUT, etc) with text, and separators. I also have a rollover graphic with a different background color with the same 7 buttons with text, and separators.
Is it possible with actionscript, say I rollover HOME and it displays the rollover graphic but only over HOME and the same for the other buttons? I thought it would be easier using two images instead of separating the buttons etc.

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.

I recently came across Lava Lamp's website, very interesting. I am curious if anyone can point me in the direction for creating rollovers employing this same style they are using. I can see that it is comprised of movies for the rollover and rollout. However, when I try to create the rollout state things just don't work. I have tried using the advanced rollover tutorial on this site but when I try to recreate it using a shape I just doesn't work.
Can anyone point me to a source for recreating this type of rollover?

Basically what I have is a page in Flash AS2 and on the page I have 16 photos. Instead of clicking on each photo, taking you to another page, etc., I wanted to make it so that when you rollover the photo, the photo enlarges. This is easy. I have done this to all 16 photos, however, there's a catch. Whenever you roll over the first one, it looks great and is on the top, however, when you rollover the second photo, the image is now on top of all the thumbnail photos except the first one. Make sense? So basically the first thumbnail is covering the enlarged rollover of the second photo. Is there anyway to make all of the rollover images are placed on "top" of all the other photos? I have tried to arrange them, but it doesn't work like you would think. If you go into the rollover photo and arrange it to the front, it's as if the rollover and the thumbnail are the same picture (which I guess they are).

I have a button that I want to have trigger a rollover effect when rolled over, and when clicked trigger something. I am changing the background image of the whole Flash movie. On Rollover I want it to give you a preview, and on click, I want it to goto a frame in a movieClip where that image is. Here is a pic of my timeline:For instance. I want my first button, "button1" (which is outside of this movieClip on the main timeline) to do the following:When rolled over, it needs to go to the "btn_over" frame label When Rolled out to go to the "btn_out" frame label.And when Clicked to go to frame 2.Currently My button is a movieClip symbol, because I will be doing some simple animations to it. Here is the code I have on my first button: This makes the click work. (and it does work, just not when paired with the second function for the rollover)[code]Does anyone know why the second function is overpowering the first? Or a way I can get the effect I am looking for.

I'm creating an interactive that consists of 3 maps, each on its own tab. On each map, there are various circles representing data for a particular city.I want the circles to display a pop-up containing text when you roll over each one. Since I don't want the plain old buttons, I'm using 2-frame movie-clips, where the second frame represents the mouse-over state and a text box fades in as follows:
[Code]...
This all works fine, and I can get multiple buttons working on the first tab (frame 1) by grouping them all into a movie clip, as follows:
[Code]...
The problem is when I try to use the same or a similar with a different set of buttons on the second tab (frame 15). I put a similar set of actionscript on frame 15. The buttons seem to accept the buttonMode = true command, but I absolutely cannot get the rollovers to display. I've tried using different function names for the MOUSE_OVER and _OUT events, to no avail. I get no errors and nothing shows up in Output -- it just acts as if there's no rollover to display.Do I need to somehow put all the AS on Frame 1? Is it an issue related to ENTER_FRAME in the rollovers?
