ActionScript 2.0 :: Enlarge The Hit Area Of Button

May 12, 2005

how can i enlarge the hit area of a button when i'm over it? i tried creating a movieclip ("mc") containing two frames; one frame ("normal") with a button including a small hit area, and one with a button containing a larger hit area (framename="over"). when i roll over the movie clip it sucessfully changes to frame "over" with the large hit area button (from root i tell "mc" to cange to frame "over"), but in fact only up,over and down state frames are taken from the new button. the hit area is still the small one from the first frame.

basically the thing i want to achieve is, that one rolls over the button, but will have to move his mouse farer away from the overstate graphic of the button, to release it. so optically the same button, but with a larger hitarea than the one you entered when rolling over the button in the first place, so one cant accidentally get off of it too early.

IDE :: Make To Have A Button Inside Another Button Area?

Mar 5, 2010

I've made a mask with a FLVPlayback inside and with a sliding bar that appears when I make rollover in the FLVPlayback. All working well. I want to put some simple controls in the sliding bar like pause or play, but I can't access the buttons because they are inside a first button ( the FLVPlayback ) that triggers the sliding bar. How can I make to have a button inside another button area?

AS3 :: CS3 Create Hit Area Button

Apr 1, 2009

I made a movie (looks like a button). Inside that movie, I have frame 1 - 36 for MOUSE_OVER, and the rest for MOUSE_DOWN. Frame 1 is for MOUSE_UP. I've assigned name to the movie home_mc, then went to scene1 and place a script on frame 1 (in separate layer):

home_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,but tonOver);
function buttonOver(event:MouseEvent):void
{
home_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
home_mc.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, buttonOver);
}

The movie plays correctly,but whenever I move the mouse (while its still on the button), then the movie plays again; to me it looks like its a hitArea() not configured.

To check that I have set a button and placed my home_mc movie in OVER frame.

CS3 Movieclip Button Hit Area

May 8, 2009

I have a movieclip button with the following actionscript (which I have on the main timeline above my MC layer):

movieclip1.onRollOver = function(){ movieclip1.gotoAndPlay("normal");
}
movieclip1.onRollOut = function(){ movieclip1.gotoAndPlay("hitout");
}
movieclip1.onPress = function(){ movieclip1.gotoAndPlay("over");
}

This works perfectly! My movieclip button takes up the whole stage but I don't want the whole stage to be my hit area (which right now it is). I was searching and I found this actionscript: hit._visible = false;
this.hitArea = hit; The tutorial said to make another layer inside my MC, then add that code. But when I play my movie, I can still see my green square (which was supposed to be my hit area) and it does nothing!

Here is a link to my movie [URL] If you click on the pic of the gauge you will see the image blows up, and the background fades to a transparent black for better contrast between the pic and the page. I need the background fade effect to not have a hit area otherwise the rollout action does not work.

Button Hit Area Different In Flash Than Published?

Oct 7, 2010

I am creating a simple flash animation in Flash CS5 of a hip hop group, where when you mouseover their picture, their name pops up over their head.

I made each image a button and created the frames for up, over, down, and just a black rectangle for the hit area.

The problem I have is that in Flash when I have simple buttons enabled, it works fine and flawlessly, but when I publish it the hit area is sketchy and doesn't always react when moused over.

Professional :: Animated Hit Area Into A Button?

Aug 23, 2010

I have an 800x800px button within a 800x800 stage, in the up state only 200px of the button are visible, the others 600px remains out of the stage, the over state is a movie clip with a spring-like animation that brings the button to the left to a viewable area of 600 pixels (while now only 200px are left out of the stage). the down state is very the same than the over (without animation, so no changes in size at all).
 
The problem here is how i set my hit area: if I set it to be the size of the up state then the button works the way it's supposed to work but if i move the mouse just i little to the left (just out of the hit area, remember, same size as the up state) then is considered not to be on the over state so i come back to my initial 200px button. By the way if i set the hit area to match the size of the button once it has completed it animation on over state (600px of viewable button) I fix this issue but then I will click the button even when I'm out of the UP state.It's possible to place a movie clip inside the hit area so that it always mach the motion of the movie clip inside the over state?[URL]This is an early prototype of the site but you'll see what i mean, my buttons are the numbered tabs, when you roll over there you'll see they become animated but i planning to make this animation much more exaggerated and then is when the problem come...

Tween Hit Area Of Flash Button?

Mar 19, 2009

Is there anyway that you can tween the hit area of a button in flash so that it follows a button as it moves? I have my buttons set up as such:When a viewer visits the page they only see a small part of the button, and when they roll over it the entire button rolls out, but I want to be able to make the hit area only as big as the small portion, and expand when the button appears in full so the entire button is clickable.

IDE :: Define Hit Area For Animated Button?

Dec 9, 2010

I've created an animated button where when you rollover it - a message box appears. My problem is that the button hit area is the whole size of the movie clip (including the message box), so the box will appear even if you haven't rolled over the button.

So basically I want to define the hit area to just the size of the button itself, rather than the whole movie clip.

Flash :: Reducing The Hit Area On A Movieclip Button?

Sep 20, 2010

I created a movie clip button that contains 2 text fields, one static and one dynamic. The dynamic text field holds strings that will vary in length. This MC in general is used as a button so what im trying to do is not have the hit area as large as the length of the text box.

If you go to http:[url].... and click on (takeout > menu) you will see on the menu all the items listed are overlapping onto the picture, i want to limit the hit area so that does not happen. I cannot shorten the MC because it will vary in length, and if it does become that long then that portion should not be clickable.

Enlarge Document Property Size?

Is there a way wherein I can enlarge the document property size and force the contents to align to the center?  I'm new, so I probably started backwards.  I made my file with animation just how I wanted it, then realized it would look better if I put a frame around it.  But, when I enlarge the document properties to accommodate the frame, all content, including associated animations, are top flush left.  I need them middle center.

CS3 : Creating A Specific Area To Play Movie/button?

Feb 10, 2010

I've created a widget that that, on roll over, starts an animation and allows the user to jump to a url on clicking the widget. It all works well, except that the whole stage area (209x204 pixels) is sensitive to the roll, and I want to somehow make a specific target area start the animation on roll over.

I've tried putting it into another button and adding a hit state to the button, which did create the specific area I was aiming for, but prevented the movie from playing, creating a weird 'stutter' of the cursor.
