ActionScript 2.0 :: Way To Force OnRollOver Or OnPress?
Jun 28, 2006
ok so i have a few complex movie clips and in them is code for onRollOver, onRollOut, nPress, onRelease, bla bla blais there any way to "force" them to act like they are being rolledover or something without the user actually rolling over them?
So far I have created/hacked about some code for an infinite scrolling menu bar, and am trying to create the rollover and release actions for each menu title. After researching it seemed best that the buttons were made from movies clips as apposed to the 'button' type, but I am not sure if this is the case. The problem I am having is that I am unable to get the Contact movie clip to recognise the onPress or an onRollOver and I am not sure why. The .fla file is available here and this is the code I tried to get it to work.
Code: _root.scrolling_mc._root.menu_mc._root.contact_mc.onPress = function () { if(contact_mc.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, true) ) { trace("Does this button work?!"); }
I also tried: Code: _root.scrolling_mc._root.menu_mc._root.contact_mc.onRollOver = function () { trace("Does this button work?!"); } I understand I am probably on the wrong tracks with the use of _root. but I need to somehow trigger the nested movieclips.
I've created three movieclips to select the next level, and these work fine the first time my game runs, but when I come back to them, after the first game is over and we're restarting, the movieclips appear, but the onRollOver,onRollOut and onPress do not work...
I have a movieClip, which in turn has a nested movieClip. I need each of these to have thier own onRollOver events, the parent movieClip is OK, but the event never fires for the nested movieClip. My code goes something like this:
[Code]...
is output when mcOne is rolled over, as it should, but nothing is output when mcTwo is moused over.
First, click on the Abaco island shape on the map. You'll see on rollOver there is a glow around the island. Now click on that island and the glow remains for the zoomed-in detailed view. When you return to map and zoom back out, the glow is removed.
Now, compare this with clicking on the island name "Abaco" from the list on the right, instead of clicking directly on the island from the map. It zooms in and shows the details fine, but the glow that should be there is not.
The reason this problem is very perplexing for me, is that the onPress action of the list button in the right column calls the onPress function of the map button. So, theoretically they should do the EXACT same thing when pushed. But clearly they don't.
Here is the code for the button from the list on the right panel:
There is more code, for example rollOver, rollOut, and Press actions for the other island buttons, but they are all of the exact same format as the Abaco island button and they all have the same problem.
So, to recap, the problem is that the list button in the right panel do not function properly onPress, even though they are calling the onPress function of the island buttons directly, and the island button onPress function works perfectly. Strangely, all but one little thing works. So it's obviously getting to the correct functions and going through the code as planned, yet that one part about the glow is being ignored or otherwise messed up.
I've got mc which onRollOver goes up and onRollOut it goes down.The problem is when I test the movie and move over the movieclip it works fine, but when I am doing it fast over it, it goes up and doesn't go down even I rollOut.
I have a simple enough Q.. I am trying to ignite an onMouseMove function with an nEnterFrame event ONLY when I rollOver a certain hotspot..Ok,Starting with:..
Code: My_mc.onRollOver = function(){ var mouse:Object = new Object();
I'm dynamically creating movieclips and using loadMovie to load jpg images from an xml file. But I cannot get the onRollOver, or any other event handler to work. Here is my code:
Code: var images:XML = new XML(); images.ignoreWhite = true;
Im new to actionscript , but not new to programming..Got the following problem : Im building a flash page dynamically with actionscript , from a php generated xml file which defines image/swf paths, text, position etc..All works well, except, i can't set an onPress function on the movieclips i create. Im doing something like this:
I have a Red Cup which is a MC and I want the Red Cup to go UP when clicked on and goes back down when you release the mouse click. I know the coding is On(press) { and On(release) { But I do not know the details.
I have a movieclip with onPress and I attach another movie to the first one. Unfortunately, the second movie inherits the onPress function from the first one. How can I remove the onPress function from the second movie? I tried to set it's onPress and onRelease to null and undefined but no success.
I'm trying to use some buttons to navigate through an FLV with cue points. Here is an example of the code I'm using so far, but I'm getting an Invail Seek error in my output.
If I want a button to perform 2 actions such as 1st time onPress the mc visible true and 2nd time onPress the mc visible false and true and false and so on.
I have two buttons. Each one calls in an external swf. I would like one of them to call it in onRollOver but nothing happens. It works fine when I change it to onRelease.This is the code I have for the two.
Code: // Instantiate MovieClipLoader Class var thumbloader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); case_btn_1.onRollOut = function() {
The goal is to have a link to a url, that changes colour when you roll the mouse over it. I'd rather it wasn't a btn as there are a lot of links similar and it would be very time consuming to change them all to symbols and stuff. I'm using flash CS4 [AS2]. Currently, I have a dynamic text box on the stage and a link in the link box. ***please see attatched screenshot*** Please can someone send over some AS2 script that I can use to change the colour of the text on mouseover?
I have a movie which is serving as a button. When you rollover the image, it grows, and stops. When you rollOut, it shrinks, and stops. This code works fine.The Problem: When you scroll the mouse over quickly, the animation get stuck and doesn't execute the rollOut code.Here's my code:
I have a slideshow made up of about 21 photos and each one is on a different layer and each has a fade in and out transition applied to them. I want to be able to stop the slideshow when a rollover occurs. I've tried various types of code and none of them get close.
FLA in CS3 attached.Simple MC with over/out and onPress.All silhouettes have over/out. Silhouette on left initiates the animation.Black box in top left corner resets it.When a silhouette has been rolled over/out it does not follow timeline animation.{Rollover a single person then click left person to see issue.)I originally had the motion done in AS, but switched to timeline for trouble shooting.I'm trying to use more AS than timeline lately, so i hope someone can point me in the right direction. Also any tips in easier ways to do what i'm doing would be great... sometimes i feel like i'm taking the extended route.[code]
I currently have this button set to change the color of little dots on it to black onRollover. However, in the photoshop button sent by the client, the dots look much better. How do i use actionscript to swap one movie clip for another in a smooth fade, like it's currently being told now?
I'm "attempting" to create a tab-like login form that animates with the tweener when rolled over and rolled out. My problem is the textinput component fields can't be accessed inside the movie clip button?
I need an animation to begin playing when another button is rolled over, if the button is still rolled over, the animation will finish it's loop. If it the button is rolled out, the animation is played backwards.
