ActionScript 2.0 :: Create Tool Tip Rollovers For Buttons
May 1, 2006
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'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 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 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 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".
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?
All my image buttons show a "home" tool tip when the cursor sits over them in the SWF file.How do I change the tool tip (or alt ) text on graphic buttons in Flash CS4?
Anybody know how to create the tooltips show on this website URL...The tool tips will appear when you mouse over the word "location" that is highlighted in blue on the web page. The tool tips will follow the mouse where ever it is within the blue highlighted area.
How can I create funcionality like pen tool with actionscript 2 or 3, which I can then use in my flash app? Searched the web, but did not find any good source.
The main goal is to select a first point(moveTo), and then using lines creating a shape(for example a triangle). So when the first and the alst point are the same we are done "drawing"[code]...
I am a homebuilder and I would like to create an exterior visualization tool to help my clients choose thier exterior siding, roofing & brick colors. My on-staff architect can create photo-realistic renderings of our different models. The question is how would I go about substituting materials for different parts of the home. Would I start with a base model with no textures applied and then have each of the textures or colors applied? Would this be acheived using masks?
What tool can i use to create an animation the will run in I.E., Firefox and iPad. I want to have a series of large buttons that i can scroll using arrows on the left and right side of the large buttons, with each button being a hot spot. I can't use Flash because it is not supported on the iPad.
I have been following several tutorials on how to create a file upload tool, from: [URL] and best off all I have exhausted google and Adobe labs... and I magically have a tool [URL] (left button: browse, right button: upload). Maybe it's a security thing? but my images are just not uploading!? I have fed all information through the text box - which should give you an upload status when you click upload - at least it does on the computer, just not on line. How to check for security or how to interpret the results. Although most of the code I have used is from adobe labs, it has been copied and pasted but not in a lazy fashion, I have learned a lot about the upload tool as I've gone along... well I thought I did, but this is one heck of a brick wall!?

I would like to create a panning tool similar to the attached. I looking for something very simple, I would like to be able to scroll the large image from left to right using a smaller inset browser.
i'm a newbie using Flash CS4 and AS3. A retired social worker, I need to create a basic Flash drawing tool for an eLearning project to teach students how to draw their family tree.
The drawing tool would allow the students to add multiple circles and squares to symbolize their family members, plus text labels for names, ages, and they would need to be able to draw connecting lines between the circle and square symbols. Finally, in order to continue work on the drawing, over time, they would need to be able to save their drawings to be re-opened and edited (add new symbols, erase incorrect ones, etc.). Once the drawing is completed, they would need to be able to print a copy.
Being a newbie (but I have done some related scripting: JavaScripting-ECMA-262, HTML, CSS), I am not sure if this can be done in AS3, Flash CS4. But, if it is possible, I would like to learn how to create this.
I found that .fla files do not save in Flash CS4 when the Deco tool or Spray Brush tool is selected. Is this a bug? Or is there a workaround to this issue.
Working with senocular Transform Tool - How to remove/disable tool for objects Im new to AS3, and i have to use it for my current project. I have used the AS2 Transform tool extensively, but needless to say, the AS3 version works entirely differently. The way i understand it, the tool applies to and every Sprite , movieclip on stage
I have seen a few blog entries on this and have had a discussion or two with my team mates but I would like to see what the stack overflow community thinks.
So why does the Adobe Alchemy Tool create so much faster running flash byte code than the flex compiler?
Also, when will the flex compiler be able to make similar performance gains? Will it require programmer specific use of special Array's or something of that nature to get the same performance?
im making a bone animating system in flash but then i want to give it a more vital animation by manipulating its z y x position how is it possible using the 3d tool?im doing everything needed but when i get to that point nothing seems to work,i dont get 3d tool options.
I bought a Flash video tutorial online for Animating and the FIRST step is to create a circle with the circle tool, and the guy does it online, and it fills itself in. I repeat his actions exactly and I cannot get the same result at all. I just get a circle.
I want to create a line tool exactly like flash line tool. But the code that I am using shows the line when we release the mouse button. How can I show the lines while it is drawing
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.

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...
I have an input text field with a movie clip behind it. When you roll over the movie clip it scales up, when you roll out, it scales down.problem is, rolling over the textfield triggers rollOut. which i dont want.
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); }
