ActionScript 2.0 :: Movie Clips Return To Original State?
Apr 3, 2007
the problem is that when i click on another link i.e. "Home"...i have an outro that plays.it is a mask that covers all the buttons and creates a wipeout effect. but you'll notice right after you click the link the buttons return to their original opacity. is there a way to have their current opacity stay so that they don't return to original when the wipeout occurs? the code is fairly simple. each rollover button(movie clip) has the following code.
I'm just creating a simple navigation bar. When you scroll over a button (in this case "cai_btn") the other buttons drop to the bottom of the screen. But when I try to run this script the items drop to the same place and overlap. They also don't return to the original state, they move in the right direction, just completely off screen. Here's a link to what it does now: [URL]
I am trying to have colorTransform work on MouseOver and MouseOut I can get it to work problem is I want it to go back to the original state of the button,
C // This line defines a variable of type ColorTransform and naming it colorTransform var colorTransform:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
i want to creat a script that if my movie clip is idle for 5 seconds (or some period of time) with out someone moving there mouse over it, that it returns back to the original state.
Now that I'm on the verge of madness I must consult the forum. I'm simply trying to take one movie clip I made, make it behave like a button, and attach multiple instances of it on my stage, each of which will load a different image to the page. Therefore each movie clip instance contains one crucial bit of unique info -> a number.
That way when I click on the upper left movie clip button it will load ["poster"+this.num] where this.num = 1 and so on. Im having a heck of a time talking to the variables stored in my movie clips... tried to do an onLoad since I only want to set it once but to no avail. any ideas? i'm confused myself just trying to explain it so i'll attach the fla, it's not too big.
I have made a number of Flash banners and I save them and everything is good but when I open them, some of the movie clips have reverted to a previous state. So I need to resize and redo thsoe movieclips. I make one banner and then save as new file and resize it. It is really annoying.. I am on P.C. and have all the current updates installed.
I am working on a project for a client. It is a service map for their company. It is basically an isometric view of the clients state, split up into counties. The counties are individual Movie Clips. When a clip is rolled over, it appears to float up above the rest and it glows and displays a tool tip with county specific information. On roll out, the clip tweens back down to its original position in the isometric lay out.
Heres my issue, These Movie Clips are all odd shapes since they are counties in a state. If the mouse is positioned at the bottom edge of one of these clips it will "bounce" as in it rolls over, tweens up, sees the mouse isnt there, tweens back down, hits the mouse, and goes back up again. I have tried rearranging my event listeners, and even adding a timer to the tween back down, i still get the bouncing effect. here is some of the basic code.
I have 6 scenes, the first scene has 5 pictures that i converted to buttons. each button goes to a different scene to play the appropriate movie clip. right now it shows up with scene 1, then i click on the button and it goes to the appropriate movie clip but after it finishes playing it just goes to the next clip on the next scene, then after it is finished it goes to the next clip on the next scene and so on. i would like to know is there some way i can make the movie clips return to scene 1 after they finish playing?
I have the code below and am trying to set up a "reset" button that takes all the buttons back to its "up" state or original state. And I can't seem to get it to work. The last selected button remains in its "down" selected state.
This the code that sets up the buttons' up/down/over/out states: var selectedButton:MovieClip = null; setupButton( one_btn ); setupButton( two_btn ); setupButton( three_btn ); setupButton( four_btn ); [Code] .....
I'm making an app with pages set out as classes which extend the MovieClip class.
What I've got are back buttons and different pages which go to the same page, however... If I end up going out of a page and back into a page (specifically one with drawn squares and dynamic text boxes called from a web service), it seems to have kept all of the original information.
So far I've tried killing all of the children with a while loop targeting the index and also using weak event listeners - neither is working!
I made a gallery in flash. I have external images load in a fixed display area -- I call it 'imageStage'. When the image is loaded, I resize the movieclip at the _x and _y to make the image fit the stage.
But what happens -- when I flip prev/next through a couple images, they keep shrinking and shrinking. Images that are smaller than the fixed area are being shrunk even further.
I'm thinking maybe if I clear the existing image from the MovieClip, it will reset itself back to regular size and proportions. But I don't know how to go about it.
Need to usually use actionscript to do alpha and tint fade? or Just use the properties tween control? Iheard that using actionscript will be better as it will not lag if the user's computer is slow. Here is to get a better idea what i'm trying to achieve using tweening. [URL]. To Alpha fade in, white tint fade in and then fade out white tint to original state. I know how to script the alpha fade in but I have problem with the tint fade.
I have a movicelip that has a cirlce with a gradient fill. When I rollover I use a color transform to change the color. I'm not sure how to get the color transform to return to its original gradient fill once I roll out of the movieclip
var overColor:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform;overColor.color = 0xffcc00; mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, buttonOver); function buttonOver(e:MouseEvent):void{ mc1.transform.colorTransform = overColor;}
Trying to build a drag and drop navigation, all the drag and drop works great, the test for the hit works ie if its on the target it centers the drag clip over the target, if its of the target the drag clip returns to its start postion. What I cannot get right is the code to check if the target already has a clip on it, if it has that clip needs to return to its start position, so we only ever have one drag clip on the target.
I have an enter_mc with arrow_mc (ie. which is ">>") at the end. When I mouse over enter_mc, i want the arrow_mc to bounce back and forth. the problem is when I onRollOut, the yoyo is not stopping and I can't get it to return to the original position either.

Code timeline: Initialize vars left = 10; right = 500; top = 10; bottom = 380; speed = 10; targetX = targetSpot_mc._x; targetY = targetSpot_mc._y; [Code] .....
I have a video clip which I initially set a size and location to. I then re-size the clip and move it when a button has been pressed. Once the video has finished playing, the video clip should go back to the original location and size. For some reason though, it goes back to a different location though.[code]...
I have a movie in which I have several squares that are pushed away once you mouse over them, this is achieved with some action script. What I need to do is once the viewer leaves the flash window where these squares are housed, I need them to go back to their original state, or the state in which all of the square line up against each other and do not break up because of the the mouseover effect.
I am trying to recreate an effect like the clouds on[url]...I would like to be able to click and drag on an object then once mouse is released the object would dynamically return to start position. I am struggling to get my script (AS3) to dynamically return it to original location.
I have an exit button on my movieClip that sends a trigger that removes the movieClip it is contained in off the screen. That works fine. The when that movie clip is put back on the screen, the Button is stuck in the OVER state.

The title pretty much sums up what I am trying to do: I haven't started digging into using script in Flash yet, still being very much a beginner.
I created a simple file using movie clips nested in buttons so that when I mouseover a letter, it bobs up and down, but I can't work out how to make it return to its original "up" state *smoothly* when the mouse is moved away. If it must involve script please be aware I am a total noob!
say I have a clip with an onEnterFrame running on it with a hit test to check if the user has rolled off the clip . . . Then i create an empty clip within that clip and attach clips to it. Will my .onEnterFrame and hitTest now apply to the clips i have attached to the original clip?
I'm trying to create a set of 4 vertically arranged buttons that 'split' apart when those buttons are pressed. For example, if you click the topmost (1st) button, the bottom three buttons will drop down so submenus (for the 1st button) can now be revealed beneath. Again, when you click the 2nd button from the top, the bottom two buttons drop down, revealing submenus, and so on.
Now, is there a way that I can use actionscripting to tween the buttons to not only motion tween a drop down when a button is first pressed, but also to motion tween the button to return up to its original spot when another button is then pressed? Right now, I have two keyframes, side-by-side which each containing a different y-scale value for an object. Can I do some actionscripting to get the object to motion tween upward to its original spot instead of "clicking," or snapping back to is original spot when another button is pressed?
I've put together this simple code for an SWF with three roll over images (called: Training, Resources and Contact).When I roll over Training I would like the symbol Training_txt to tween its alpha to 1 (from 0) and tween its y axis to 220 (from 83).When I roll out of Training I would like to run the two tweens in reverse.
This works fine for each of the three roll over images, so long as each tween is allowed to fully execute before a new tween is started. The problem arises if i quickly move the mouse curser between the three roll over images before the previous tweens have finished executing.In this instance, the tweened objects start to behave erratically. They usually return to their original position as per the roll_out tween but then start jumping between y axis 200 and y axis 83 (without tweening - they just appear).
How is it done? All I've seen on the web is how to change the color. Well how about going back. I'm talking about a MC with many colors. I can't just change back to a single hexadecimal color.
I can accomplish the change as it passes over a frame, but I can't get it to change back.
In the frame is this:
Code: cHurtColor = new Color(_root.compMC); cHurtColor.setRGB(0x00FF33);

I'd like to control a movie clips current frame by another movie clips action script.I realise the following controls the outside (root) frame time line:
on(release){ _root.gotoAndStop(1); }
but I'm not sure how to apply that to my other movie clip. I'm guessing it would be something like this:
