View 6 RepliesI have a scrolling dynamic text box, in which i have alot of information. I am trying to create a rollover effect for just a couple of words within this.
eg. Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla Link Bla Bla Bla Link Bla Bla Bla
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 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?

I want to change the text of the button in Test2 on RollOver over this button which instance name is btn1.

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 1 Replieshow 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 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...
View 1 RepliesI'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.
How do I create a listner which listens to rollOver on the textfield?[code]
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to have a button rollover create an empty MC (board_loader) that will load a swf in itself (board1.swf) and follow the mouse around for the duration of the rollover. I know its not much, but here's what I have so far[code]...
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 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 have a site at the mo with a banner in flash but i know that there are sites out there that use flash more in depth. ive seen pretty much whole sites done with flash before but have no idea how to do it! I could get something interatctive with buttons etc in flash cs3 but would have no idea how to display it all in a webpage, create a link from flash to the html or whatever so when a button was clicked it'd take the user to a different page...etc
I have an ad banner that the client says the clickTag layer must be the top most layer. The problem is I have movies below that layer that animate on rollOver:
Code:
on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay("bounce");
}
These do not work unless they are above the clickTag layer. Is their a way I can adjust the rollOver code to acomodate for this? Both the clickTag and the movies are on the main time line but the rollOver animation is in its own movie.
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 trying to create some buttons as MCs that will load random imageMCs on release or rollover i think i am supposed to use math random in some form with MCs but i have no idea how to execute the script for that
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. I used to be able to do something like this:
Code:
this.onRollOver = function(){
if(this.ID != _root.selectedLink){
this.gotoAndPlay('in');
}

View 1 RepliesI have been trying to convert my swf files to flv.
I've tried a whole bunch of converters and I can't find one that will preserve the interactivity of my file.
My interactive .SWF that is called loses all interactivity when loaded, however, the .SWF works perfectly on its own. The .SWF that is called basically has 4 buttons that moves a set of 4 images 50 pix to left so it can be viewed when button is pressed.
View 1 RepliesI'm having trouble retaining interactivity in a DisplayObject (MovieClip) that has been altered to become a 3D object in Flash 10. The current structure is as follows: MovieClip1 with Mouse EventListeners nested inside MovieClip2 inside MovieClip3. MovieClip3 is rotated in 3D space via rotationX and rotationY as well as in Z space. After this happens interactivity in MovieClip1 does not function.

View 1 RepliesIn 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 new to using flash and actionscript, but i'm looking to learn how to make a video or a series of videos play using flash. Where the user has to click on a specific part of the screen to play the next video. I'm using Flash cs3 to do this and again i'm new to this so i don't know how to navigate very well. If anyone could provide me with a tutorial or walkthrough on this that'd be amazing.
