ActionScript 2.0 :: Make The Text Balloon Appear On Mouseover?
Feb 3, 2007
I made a worldmap which is a movieclip, and inside that worldmap I create dynamicly project icons which contain a text balloon with some short information about that project.The problem I'm facing is that I want to make the text balloon appear on mouseover, and when I press the movieclip, it goes to another page.I've been trying this for a while but I can't find a good solution, onRollOver and onPress on movieclips won't work, and I have no clue how else I could do it. The reason why I add them inside the worldmap is because I want to zoom in and out or move the map in certain directions.when I zoom in and out on the map, the icons become largers as well. How can I make it so that the icons always stay the same size?
The flashmx8 file can be found at: http:[url]....
The code is at the first layer called "scripts" in the first frame.
The code for adding dynamicly dots onto the map is at line: 72 and the code for zooming starts at line: 131, and basicly the whole actionscript is in the first frame to keep it easy and mobile to tweak the whole application.
I have a drawing board created and a comic speech bubble clip created. The clip is draggable and text can be inputted into it. The problem is that I don't want to draw on the board when I drag the balloon. See the fla attatched!
I want to make a dynamic textarea with loaded text from an external textfile, and then I want custom made arrow buttons to start scrolling the loaded text on mouseover (not click) andt stop scrolling on mouseout. Ala like in this webpage[url]...
The part with the loaded text is fine, but I can't manage to script the arrow buttons to do what I've just described. Even though I have searched the Internet for recipes I just find how to scroll loaded text on click or with a scrollbar
I tried to make a "drag" and "click" balloon which goes up and with a guy who follows the balloon movement through a line.... No prob, it works, but I need to duplicate the balloon 8 times (i want to create a menu with these balloons).... I tried to duplicate it in a for loop, but it doesn't duplicate the string and the guy.... if somebody has a clue I'll take it...
I'm a Web designer from London and although I have good Photoshop skills, I can't put together my designs for animation
Description:
I would like to know how I can make an image invisible until I hover the mouse over it. Once the image becomes visible how can I make an image behind it (on a different layer) rotate until I move the mouse away.
1. How do I make image invisible until I hover mouse over it?
2. Once image is displayed how do I make an image rotate 90 degrees behind it?
3. Once I move the mouse off, how do I make the button become invisible again, and the rotated image to be restored to it's original rotation.
I'm using a custom item renderer for an AreaChart:
[Code]....
I'm displaying my text. However, I want the balloon to be exactly above the data point. I tried to change the (x,y) coordinates but it doesn't seem to change. How can I move this balloon around to a desired location?
I imported a image file and made it into a button. So in flash8, is there any way to add an actionscript or anything to make the image transparent when I mouseover the button?
I am adding a swf to my website with a streaming flv player and I would like to make the buffer mc invisible until the invisible button covering the video player is moused over. I would like the net stream to begin when the page loads, but for the video to begin when the player is moused-over, and then pause when moused-off, right now the buffer is showing on page load and the animation is really distracting.
This is the code I am working with:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); nc.connect("rtmp://rtmphost.com/banner/"); var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
I have a basic mouseover in my flex application which changes an image onmouseover and changes it back onmouseout using the code mouse Over "functionToChangeImageSource()" and another one to mouseout.It works fine when you slowly mouse over and out, however if I quickly move the mouse over it, it occasionally stays on the mouseover image and the mouseout function doesnt appear to kick in. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or does anyone have any ideas why its happening?Also, I've tried the rollOver and rollOut instead but it has the same problem.[code]I'd imagine you're correct about the mouseover event not completing before mouseout is but how to I fix this?
As a UI specialist, I am often asked to build tool-tip displays and other sorts of popups that display text. One of styles clients seem most keen on is text in a comic-book balloon. I would like to create this balloons programmatically (as opposed to embedding or linking to rendered graphics), because these balloons will have to change size at runtime, depending on how much text they have to hold.
Balloons are easy to draw for the most part: circles, rectangles or rounded-corner rectangles. The tough part, for me, is the tail (the little arrow-like part of the comic balloon that points towards the speaker). If you google comic balloon, you see that there are many varieties of tails. They ones clients request from me most often are curved. E.g...
[URL]
The tail will always be on the bottom of the balloon, and it will sometimes point left and sometimes point right. I have been trying to come up with tail-drawing algorithms for a while, but I'm not happy with the results. I'm basically stumbling around in the dark, changing variables, looking at the results, and using trial and error to try to move closer to the magic numbers that will work. "Work" just means a result that looks pleasing, which I realize is subjective. Most of my clients will be a happy with anything that looks reasonably good and professional.
I want this result to scale. And it would be great if it could work with as few inputs as possible, maybe just isFacingLeft, tailWidth and tailHeight (Which could maybe be a percentage of the whole balloon). Maybe an adjustable curveAmount.
If it matters, I'm using Flash/Actionscript, but any system that has some sort of turtle graphics engine should work pretty much the same way: I'm working with that standard flipped Cartesian grid (y increases downward), x and y coordinates, the ability to move a pen, draw lines and draw curves.One caveat: Flash only allows me to draw 3-point bezier curves -- start point, control point, end point.
Note: balloons won't have to scale after the are drawn.
I am creating a thumnail bar having the thumnail of the images, it has the default visible thumbs of 7 images, while the others must be hidden on the right of the bar. I used the code in AS3 to add thumbs in to the bar, the first 7 were fine, but the others still appearred visible and cover the bar border.My thumbBar is simply a rectangle and what i really did was to thumbBar.addChild(thumb). But all the thumbs appeared visible, first 7 thumbs stayed inside the rectange but the others were outside.How can I make the others invisible and turn them visible only when i use with the MouseOver Event.
I have a simple movie clip for which i bind two events 1-MouseOver and MouseOut
in these events i am just tracing simple text
But the Problem is when i take my mouse over the movie clip both events called tracing the string in the output panel
Infact, things should be done like that on mouse over, its text is printed and when i take my mouse away[out] from the movieClip MouseOut event should be called.
I have a 400x300 area that needs to detect a rollover and animate several buttons, text fields, etc. sliding into it when the mouse rolls into the area so that they can be manipulated, and animate them sliding out when the mouse rolls out of the area to hide them from view. (example here: [URL])
What is the best way to do this? The only way I have got it to work so far is by using a listener to track mouse position, but it's not reliable since you can move the mouse quickly in some areas of the movie and the listener doesn't catch it.
I have a text box that I want to display "tips" in, for example I have a text box with text in it and I added an event listener for mouse over but I realized I have no way to tell the function what text to display. When I try to do something like the following, I just get error messages:
Code: txtpName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, tipText("This is your name"); public function tipText (tip:String, e:Event):void { txtTip.text = tip; }
I have a question and would like some help with creating a flash gallery but for showing information rather than pictures. I will try to make this as clear as possible but if its confusing please let me know and I will give more details.Basically I trying to make a vertical timeline on the lefthand side with years (in text) which expand slightly on mousover and when clicked show the relavent information on the righthand side for that year.I can't seem to get the text to expand on mouseover?
I need to develop some mouse over functionality in text field.I could get the text on click functionality by having htmlText & TextEvent.Similarly, can i get the mouseover functionality in text field ?
It does not seem to work however as the text does not underline when I mouse over it.
Is there a way to do this purely through CSS or do I need to programmatically capture the mouse events and set the styles accordingly (seems like overkill)?
I have a linked movieclip in my library that contains a dynamic text field. I edit this text via my external class but when I tween my MC, the text just disappears !!
Code: var goTo1:_goTo1= new _goTo1(); addChild(goTo1); goTo1.id=0; goTo1.buttonMode = true;
I have downloaded the following code and tried to change it. It works so far, but the attached MC are "pulsating" - if I change them with another MC (with text inside) I can't use them as a Menu links - they are "pulsating" too much and I can't read/see the text properly. where in code I can change(reduce) this "pulsation"? how can I make the MC-s cklickable=working as a buttons with mouseover/mouseout effects (changing color etc.)
I've done my fair bit of HTML coding and work fairly well with CSS but i've never ever done a mouseover in flash.. Now, the website's text, all of it, is simply located on a text.txt file that the flash file reads and incorporates onto the website.. All text and images come from this text file. This is what I want to do.
Click on Enter site, then when it loads, click on the "Selling" tab at the top of the site. On the "My Listings" section is where I want to have the mouseover text and the "Market Analytics" section (which we'll be renaming) is where we'd like the image to actually appear. My question to you is can this be done within this environment and how so?
I can edit JavaScript somewhat, though its been a while.
I want to create an animation like this one [URL]. You can see on the home page 4 blocks of pictures on which if you mouseover you will see it change and display text. I know how to do this. But When you mouseover one block and come out of it, the text will be still there until you move onto another block, which I don't know how to.
I am making some buttons that enlarge and then fall back to their original size when you mouse over them. The font used is a pixel font and this blurs when you do the mouse over. Is there anyway you can make them so they dont blur?
This is the code on the movie clips: onClipEvent (load) { xlen = 100; ylen = 100; xscale = _xscale; yscale = _yscale; [Code] .....
