We've all seen them before. Those obtrusive ads that expand their size when your mouse rolls over them. How are they done? I'm assuming it's more than actionscript code, and something is done with javascript or something.
View 1 Repliesi have to make a banner that expands over the website it sits in to reveal more content. i've never made one before so i was wondering a few things.
1) is there anything special i'd have to do to the flash to make it work?
2) it looks like the banner sits in a css layer that's over top the rest of the site, is that correct? [URL]
I have to create a banner that expands over content when moused over and then contracts on mouse out. I have managed to create the expand/contract animations and actions but I am having trouble positioning the that the flash file is in to ensure that it's flows over other elements on the page.
View 1 Replieswhy this isn't working?
Code:
changeWidth (quiz_holder, _width + 200, mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeInOut);
function changeWidth(movName, moveTo, moveType){[code].....
What I want to happen is that the quiz_holder box expands sideways, then when this is finished, it expands lengthways. At the moment it's just getting to the point where it's expanded sideways and then stops?
trying to tween an animation that expands as the browser window expands. To clarify this, imagine a box that simply expands to fill the dimensions of the stage and stops there. The issue is when the stage dimensions change, how can I adjust it so that the box equally expands to those stage dimensions...
View 3 RepliesI've got a simple rotating banner and would like to have an mp3 play if someone rolls over the banner and stop if they move their mouse away. I grabbed some code from this forum and placed it on my button instance but it's not working. Here are the working files: [URL]. I've "linked" the mp3 file and given it the ID of "makin" and posted the following actionscript on the button instance:

I got a problem with making a Flash banner. I've been looking over the internet for guides and tutorials for the past 2 days, but they just don't seem to work for me :/What I'm trying to make:Banner normal:Banner when you hold your mouse over "News":With "Game" and "Website" also being a button that link you to another page.So far I've managed to make a Rollover action, but it activates whenever I hold my mouse over the whole banner, not just the button (the "News" text). I got no idea what I'm doing wrong, or what I should do instead.
View 2 RepliesI'm new to actionscript and am having difficulties creating a simple rollover action for a flash banner. I have managed to make it repeat on rollover, but only the first couple of seconds of the animation. the code I have used is:

I'm having is keeping the other mc boxes a set distance away on both sides at all times while one box shrinks and another expands.I've gotten it to stay away in a drag example, but I can't get it to constantly stay away while the animation is expanding/ shrinking.On a less important note, I've tried scaling (expanding/shrinking) the boxes using actionscript via the x/yscale properties, but I noticed it scales uniformly, I think the word is. To understand what I need, transform a box, circle, whatever and then hold ALT + transform it. It expands only on that one particular point.

I am trying to create a nav system that expands to show sub-sections when the user rolls over main section buttons.Let me describe exactly (as best I can) how this would work:A vertical list of 5 menu buttons is stacked and distributed at equal distances.The user clicks a button (lets say Button 2) and Buttons 3, 4, 5 slide down to reveal the sub-nav below Button 2. When the user clicks or rolls back to any of the original 5 buttons, that subnav closes up.Does anyone know of a good tutorial for this type of nav or have anything I might be able to dissect and work from?
View 3 RepliesThe script for my timer worked for one button but as soon as I set up the other 2 buttons to do the same, I started having a problem where the rollover action would go after the set amount of time was up but then would repeat itself once after the set amount of time was up again. just to clarify, if it needs it, the reason I don't have a rollout attached to these buttons is because I want the menu to stay out until you leave the menu area
so I have an invisible button called menuin_btn which sits to the right of the menu and covers the rest of the stage where the content will be, so you have to rollover that area for the menu to roll back in. The "rollin" in my code brings the movie clip to frame 16 (the end) where I have a gotoAndStop(1); command to get it back to frame 1 so the rollover can be used again. I've attached a zip with my current flash file and swf and here is what my current script looks like on the main scene:

I am making a ball move from left to right and back. but when I rollover twice quickly, it also accepts the second rollover command. I would like it to accept that second rollover only when the first one is finished. I mean, I want the first to be finished before it accepts another rollover.I know it is simple to solve this with a tween using frames instead of as, but I was wondering if someone knows how to adapt the script.
on(rollOver){
ballTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(balMC, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut,balMC._x, 44, .5, true);
ballTween.onMotionFinished = function() {
ballTweenterug = new mx.transitions.Tween(balMC, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, 44,11.9, .5, true);

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a rollover for a movie clip. On rollover, a line underlines the text,and when it rolls out, the underline reverses. This works fine the first time. The next time you rollover, the animation doesn't work. Then when you move the mouse off the button, a line appears under the text and doesn't go away. Here's my code on the invisible button.
on(rollOver){
this.gotoAndPlay("animIn");
}

The animation/rollover works well but it still abruptly stops when I rollover another button. The link below is an example on what I want to accomplish.
View 1 RepliesI have a button set up, that when you rollover the button, it changes into another picture and stops, and also when it's rolled over, a large picture appears under the rollover.But when I first rollover the button, it acts like it's told to go to the out state. When I rollover it again it works fine.URl...there is my code to go into the movieclip and play the button
View 1 RepliesHow do I do a onRollOver detect without using the onRollOver function?I have a movieclip and when it's rolled over I have it zooming using the AS2 tween function.In that movieclip there's a form with fields, and if I use the onRollOver function on the movieclip to zoom, the whole movieclip becomes a button thus preventing any input into the form fields. Is there an alternative I can use?
View 6 RepliesOkay, now things are getting a little complicated. I need to build a Flash object that can sit over the corner of an image to serve extra content. It's way beyond my Flash skill level, my work is usually limited to print work in Photoshop and Illustrator so please excuse me if any of the following isn't clear. I am trying to learn though, So this is how it's all supposed to work, along with my issues; When the image & Flash item load a small looping animation will play to draw the eye/show the item as interactive.
When the user rolls over this the corner will peelback. I have a working peelback animation for the rollover, that reacts to mouse over/mouse off, and a looping animation for the initial, but I cannot work out how to make the initial loop until mouseover, then play the peelback when the mouse is over. And go back to the initial animation loop if the user rolls off. (Each of these animations is stored as a movie clip in the Library)
Then it gets more complicated... if the user stays on the corner until it is fully peeled back I need to make a small countdown (sort of a 3, 2, 1 situation) show, before launching a lightbox (would this have to be jQuery, or could it be done in Flash?) in the browser to serve the content.

I'm currently working on a flashsite and are trying to figure out rollover menu buttons. The site has 6 menu buttons and are placed next to each other. I want to put a rollover action on the buttons, that when you rollover a button that the whole button image enlarges and moves in front of the other.
View 1 RepliesBasically what I'm trying to do is build an interface out of a fan of cards. I've got the the whole fan as a movieclip and then individual movieclips of the cards inside that have rollover animations.My issue is the rollover works on the cards arranged behind the cards that have the cursor over, which I don't want to happen.e.g see attachment.here's the rollover actionscript i've got on each card:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.nextFrame();

I am trying to figure out how to make a bottom bar similar to the one seen ontions inside the bar- here's what I've got so far:as you can see I have a date/time MC inside the bar_mc which is working fine but whenever I try to have a new rollover/rollout movieclip (or button) inside the bar_mc it won't work/won't show rollover animation.
