Am I correct in understanding that the onMouseOver event doesn't fire if the mouse button is clicked and held down prior to moving the mouse over the specified object? Would I need to code something using hitTest to see if the mouse is over the specified object regardless of whether the button is down or not?
View 1 Replies1) add a SimpleButton to the stage and view the SWF2) then press and hold the mouse button down OUTSIDE of the button's boundaries3) then drag the cursor over the SimpleButton while still holding down the mouse button......Then the SimpleButton on the stage does not detect the mouseover and display its 'over' state. It just stays in its idle state. Why is this? And is there a way to enable the SimpleButton to display its over state while the mouse button is being held down and then the cursor brought on top of the button (as described above)?That's the abstract, and if you are at all curious (this won't elaborate on the question, but maybe help you visualize a practical scenario) what's motivating the question, it is an application I'm building. In this app, the user is able to drag video thumbnails in order to rearrange their order.

View 8 Repliesim currently making a game, and the game has some powerups, that when picked are stored. the problem is that, if i have, say, 3 shields, e press the matching button and the 3 shields are used instead of one. i found out its because i was checking the button pressing every frame, so i created a flag that checks if a button is corrently being pressed. here's the code

how would i go about doing that?... the only reason is cuz right now my game lags so bad if i just hold dow the button cuz so many movie clips on the screen at once...
I have two buttons in my movie that move a movie clip up and down on my stage. the code in the buttons atm is as follows,
on (press){
if (this.pics1._y<-240) {
} else {
this.pics1._y = (this.pics1._y-10);
}
(this is just the down button)This just checks to see if the movie clip has reached its lowest position and if it hasn't it movies it down by 10px.What i would like to do it make is so when the button is clicked and held the movie clip moves down untill the button is released.(Im using Flash 8 with Actionscript 2)
i'm trying to make a button that when held will go to the previous frame, pause for 0.042 (24fps)seconds and then loop again until the mouse is releasedso something like thisI think know the first bit of code from much forum trawling, but have been unable to find anything further.I am an almost complete newb to programming, having online done a tiny amount of vb several years ago,just wonderingtranslate this following script into as3, and also point out if it won't work.

I have a free transform tool simulator that rotates an image when the middle top button is clicked and held. The image rotates to 180 and then stops. Does anyone know why it is getting stuck?I have enabled viewsource for the code. the method is in WidgetEditor.as
View 3 Repliesok lets say you create a button that when held down play an animation of 20 frames if realsed it goes to frame one and stops if held down it plays out this animation. for the topic lets say you have a fire animation and you want the fire to apear and if the user hold its down the animation reaches the end of the time line and loops back and plays the last 5 frames of the animation and as soon as it is let go it goes to and stops at frame one. Well i know how to make a button that when held down plays out an animation. And i know how to say when released goes to and stops at frame one. What i dont know how to do is to loop the fire at the last 5 or 6 frames so the user can hold it down all day long and play out that animation.
View 1 RepliesI understand that when applying html text to a textfield you can have an anchor tag call a specific function. however, is if you can call a function on rollover of the anchor tag?
Example:
Instead of this...
<a href='asfunction:_root.test'>Click here to call the test function</a>
I'd like this...
<a href='' onMouseOver='asfunction:_root.test'>Rollover here to call the test function</a>
I currently have a document set up with a large movie clip (about 2000px wide) and have created 2 buttons - left and right. I would like for when you mouse over the left or right button, the movieclip would slide across the screen horizontally.
View 8 RepliesI want a scrollbar to show up when the onmouseover event is triggered on element A.
How is this done with actionscript 3?
Before I ask let me explain the swf. Basically I have a logo (mc) on the first keyframe. Then I have like four more keyframes each containing a different movieclip with that some logo with different animations. Now what I want to accomplish is. onMouseover I want to randomly jump to any of the keyframes containing the animations. To give the effect of a random animations on the mouseOver event.

View 3 RepliesBasically I have some TLF text as a symbol, it's read only, the font is embedded and I set mouseEnabled to false. It's sitting as a graphic, on top of a button. When I mouse over the text, or the area where the text would be, it prevents the button from receiving the on mouse over event. Using classic, dynamic text, this route normally works just fine. Any ideas what could be causing the problem?

View 9 RepliesI have movie that has two different images... When the movie is loaded and reach the end, I have large button that onMouseOver effect has new image (smiling girl). The problem is that I want her to smile all the time while the mouse is over animation. That should includes the case when someone trys to type something and finally press small button to submit data. But when mouse cursor is not rolling over she should stop smiling...
The problem is that it's simple to have her smiling in every other case, but when the event as described occurs, she stop simling.. I try several solutions that came up in my head, such as attachMovie, createEmptyClip, different depths, rollOver/out etc, but it seems that I haven't bright idea what i should do i order to get the expected result.
I'm going to have a row of images all of which will need to enlarge when you mouse over. the images surrounding the enlarged image will need to shirk when it enlarges. So I have multiple images that need to shrink and grow depending one which image is moused over.
View 7 Repliesi have this code that should get a face (eyes, shape, etc) in motion on Mouse Over. The thing is i dont know how to loop this onMouseOver code so it works like an onEnterFrame handler (while onMouseOver).Another way to put it: as long as the mouse stays over the Mclip i want the code to loop. How can i do this?Here is my code:
Code:
package{
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;[code].....
My menu(code is by scotty)has 3 movieclip buttons, with text. I broke apart the text to change the color onMouseOver. Problem is the button only works when the mouse is pointed over the actual text, so it doesn't work properly, because the text is obviously very small. I can't put a "field" behind it, because it will become part of the MC, and thus will change color.
Here's the example: [URL]

I have a very simple piece of code but it has one very annoying bug. When I press the button a second time, the code doesn't work. The only way to get the code to work is by moving the mouse a tiny bit, or moving the mouse off the button and back on. make a button that can be clicked many times without moving the mouse?

I changed the mouse cursor using a tutoral from this forum, but when I press the right mouse button,the standard mouse cursor reapears.How to prevent that?
View 10 RepliesI would like to make a flash movie with a picture, where when the user holds down the mouse button, part of another picture will emerge in that general area (like a magnifying glass looking into another dimension).
Technically, my idea was to make a flash file with two images, and then code the mouse to be able to make the top picture transparent in a circle-like area around the cursor, while the mouse button is down.
But how to do that? I am using Flash CS4, but I don't really care if the solution is in AS2, or AS3, as long as it works

This is quite a complicated problem to explain.Basically I had some buttons with a on mouse out, and on mouse over effects.I wanted each button to load a different scene of the movie.For some reason the on mouse over and mouse out button effects work until I link them to load a scene in the movie.The only button I have linked to load a movie is the Drinks button. It loads the drinks scene, no problem, however the mouse over effects don't seem to work anymore.I have included the .fla file so if someone could maybe have a quick look at it, it is probably just a small bit of coding I have done wrong!
