I have a movieclip that I want to rollover to begin animation. I don't want the "finger" pointer so people aren't inclined to click it. i want to keep the default cursor.
How can this be achieved?
I have create a TextField over a button inside a movieclip and when I roll over the part of the button where the TextField is the rollover is not registered. Is there a way to prevent the mouse from seeing the TextField so the rollover just happens? I've set the selectable parameter to false, but that hasn't fixed it.
View 3 Repliesnormally the mouse pointer is the arrow.When it's over something with an on(press) event or some such, it turns into a "pointing finger."
Is there any way to force it to change to some other icon?Specifically, I have a draggable movieclip that I'd like to control with a "grabbing hand" pointer, but Flash insists on making it a "pointing finger,"
I have Macromedia Flash 8 Pro with AS2 and I was wondering if there was a function that would change the depth of a movieclip on rollover of a button.

View 1 RepliesI am using movie clip buttons while building my own flash site, and I need to prevent the rollOver effects from being available until after a certain frame... I have the buttons "blurring" in when you first access the site, and if you rollOver the movie clip buttons before the blurring has compelted, the buttons skip straight to the rollOver effect and it looks really wrong.Here is my current movie clip buttons

I've seen a site a while back that as you went through it it would change the url without reloading the page/swf. I want to know how do you build a Flash banner and buttons and as they the movie plays or they click on buttons have it change the url and the html text but leave the swf playing? Can this be achieved without too much hassle or will it require advanced coding?

I want to rollover a button and have it trigger the rollover state of another button. The buttons overlap. The one on top is transparent and smaller than the bottom button.

I've got a bunch of text in some of my pages, and there are parts of the text that I have linked. On the web, the text just looks normal, which is fine, but when I put the mouse over it, the finger pointer doesn't come up, so no one would guess it's actually a link if they didn't know. It still works if you click on it, but why doesn't the mouse turn into the finger pointer?

View 1 RepliesI have got one movieclip that is a square it is 20 x 20 the movieclip changes from black to white when you roll over it and remains white. The problem I have is that I need 3000 of them and putting them in a grid format so the user can create there own black and white mosaic. But when I do it only the newest square added to the stage changes colour i think i have gone down the wrong path and I've hit a dead end.
This is my code (Which im 90% is all wrong):
PHP Code:
stop();
var sqreArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i:int = numChildren - 0;
i >= 3000; i++) {
var child:DisplayObject = getChildAt(i);

I have this flash top banner that plays an animation for a normal html website.Everytime the user goes to another page, or refreshes the site, the banner plays again.
View 8 RepliesMy AS 3 program has multiple buttons. Users can select one and then immediately select another and this causes 2 threads that collide. Once one button is executing, I want the other buttons to ignore clicks.
The problems are twofold: 1) the first time the 2nd button attempts to execute (by checking lock), when it returns (from checking lock) and attempts to pick up processing where it left off, it seems to forget where it was and does not utlimately complete its task(s); possibly variables have been altered, it is difficult to say. That is, AS 3 is unable to successfully pickup where it left off on the first button. the second problem is that AS 3 incorrectly returns to button 2 after the lock condition is cleared. It persists and will execute that button.
I have a few swf's that are loaded into a base file using levels. These clips can be cycled through by means of a setInterval function or when the user clicks the next or previous button. However, when the user hovers over a defined 'hit' area which is ultimately a blank movie clip, the setTimeout call is then canceled. This works fine, except that now the 'hit' clip - being above everything - prevents the movies below accepting hit states, and if I move it to below everything else, when one mouses over any element in the loaded movie, it then acts as though the user has mouse out of the hit area.
Is there any way to have this 'hit' clip do its job simply by determining if the mouse is over it, but without using an onRollOver function or equivalent?
Take a look at the following sites; and notice their menus. Both have a rollover and rollout on their buttons, and when the button is hit the button stays down until another button is pressed. In the scissor sisters site, the neon bar still fades out after another has been pressed.

I am trying to achieve this myself with my own site, which you can view in progess here:
My Site
I have mastered the button rollOver and rollOut effect, in which i gathered the code from a kirupa tutorial. My problem is, getting the neon bar to stay underneath teh last button that has been pressed.The main movie is located on the main timeline in frame 2, because frame 1 contains the pre loader.
The actions for frame 2 of the main timeline are:
Code:
stop();
movieLoader.loadMovie("news.swf");
total = movieLoader.getBytesTotal();
loads = movieLoader.getBytesLoaded();
[code]....
Now the buttons are not buttons, they are movieclips, which are located on the stage, and have instance names of b1 for news, b2 for biography etc etcInside the movieclip, the animation of the neon bar fading in takes 25 frames, and this has a stop action on the end.
This code is placed on the first frame:
Code:
stop();
news.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true)
[code]....
So now my problem is to make sure that the last button clicked leaves the underline bar down until the next button is pressed.
I started working on a little page of mine, and I already ran into some trouble hehe. I'm kind of learning as I go along. Heres the script I'm having some trouble with:
