ActionScript 3.0 :: Button Rollover Triggered When Mouse Not Over?
Jun 18, 2009
I'm having a weird thing happen. I'm using the Tween class to move a child mc (slide_mc )of the button called jump_btn. slide_mc is supposed to move from left to right on rollover, then right to left upon rollout. They seem to work pretty good. The issue I'm getting is when the user is NOT over the button; you'll see the rollover tween (_jump1_twn) get triggered. Again, the mouse is not over the button and is still. How can I get this to stop happening? slide_mc then gets locked to the right until the user rolls over the button. Am I having this problem because Im using the Tween class to move objects I constucted manually?
jump_btn = mc I created manually then had exported for actionscript.slide_mc = a child mc of jump_btn (the issue is with its movement getting triggered at the wrong time)jumpFakeBtn = mc I created manually then had exported for actionscript.
I'm trying to get a water ripple effect that can follow the mouse, or be triggered by a mouse rollover. I found a tutorial here: [URL]. I have been able to figure out how the ripple effect works, and have been able to get the movieclip to follow the mouse. The problem is that I need the enlarged background inside the movieclip to stay stationary or to counteract the mouse movement. If you comment out the script you can see the ripple looks fine, but once the mc follows the mouse the two images do not align properly. I basically want to rollover an image with "water ripples" similar to dragging your hand across water.
I'm using actionscript 1.0 and 2.0 on flash Pro 8 and keep getting an error when I test the movie. Here is the error:
[Code]...
I've tried to create this rollover navigation...starting over 6 times already. Is there different language / coding for 1.0 and 2.0? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
I have a movie clip I am using as a button (instance name btn1) and I added an event listener to it (using the following line): btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, animate1); the function "animate1" triggers some small animation when the mouse is over the movieclip. my problem is that the animation is triggered both on mouse over and mouse out events.
How can I make onRollOver work, when the left mouse button is clicked? When mouse button is released than rollOver work's, when I press and rollOver to some object it wont work.
I have made a couple of 'advanced rollovers' if you will, yet one thing is annoying me about them! When you roll over the button it looks great, yet as soon as your mouse goes off the hit area, it just suddenly shoots straight back to frame 1 of the movie clip , is there any way to animate a scene once the mouse has gone off the button, so it looks smooth when rolling over and when rolling off?
I've a main movie, for example, this movie has 3 buttons, in each button there's a MovieClip in the Over area, for example button1 contains a MovieClip with some animation, this clip has an Instance name clip1_mc, ok, untill this, everything it's ok, the effect it's easy to achieve, when I rollover my mouse over that button, the clip called clip1_mc starts to play, piece of cake, the problem is this, what happens if I call an extrenal .SWF, this .SWF contains a simple button, when I rollover this button I want to play my clip inside in my button in my main Movie, I cannot do this, I was trying with something like this: on (rollOver) { _parent.clip1_mc.play(); } But this is not working.
I created a button that has a movieclip in the rollover state. When you rollover the mouse, the movieclip will animate to appear as if the button will scale from a small to a large button even though it is the movieclip that is playing and not the button itself. But I also want to add a keyboard code to play the rollover instead of the mouse. I learned to write actionscript to play different scenes with the code below, but I'm not sure if I can play a button rollover with the same code.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, key_pressed); function key_pressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void { if (event.charCode==49) { gotoAndPlay(1,"scene"); }
I create a button(MC) and want to duplicate it and easily change the text inside this button... basically I have an mc that acts as a button so inside the mc I have text that I added that animates on mouse rollover. Now I duplicate this mc in the library go into the mc and want to change the text, and when I do, the text in the original button also changes. This happens because the text is a Tween so it's using the same tween from the library for the new button. Is there a quick way to avoid this? I don't see anyway other than typing in the text again in the new button and animating it again.
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.
My code is below. What am I doing wrong? I am trying to have my menu enter the stage and exit the stage when the mouse goes below/above a certain point (425px)
Ive made a program upto the point where i can create circular sprites(balls), and put them in an array..In the next frame, the user is supposed to be able to impart velocity to the balls by dragging and releasing the mouse ... Im having problems with this.. this is my code:
Code: import com.coreyoneil.collision.CollisionGroup; var collider = new CollisionGroup();
[code]....
This code only works with one object added on stage (i.e one object in circObjects).If i add more than one object the balls arbitrarily seem to jump some distance ahead when I click on them, and follow my mouse around even when Im not clicking..
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. So far I think I have the AS3 to handle the rollover of the top button, but I don't know how to trigger the other button's rollover state.
I'm a beginner in AS and is trying to build my website entirely on AS2.0. Here's an effect ( I call it "appear effect" ) I wanna create with the tween class:
[Code]...
I would like to have this effect triggered whenever a button needs to appear. In total, I have about 10 btns. I believe I have to store it inside a function. Tat's all I know, can someone pls kindly guide me thru this?
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.
Code: onClipEvent(load){ _x=0; _y=0; speed=2; } onClipEvent(mouseDown){ targetx=_root._xmouse; targety=_root._ymouse; } onClipEvent(enterFrame){ _x+=(targetx-_x)/speed; _y+=(targety-_y)/speed; } what do i replace to use easing on rotation, if triggered from a button?
i have project in which there is a number of button that work onRollOver by is the mouse is down it doesnt work.
i setup the AS in a very stupid way putting each script on a separate button rather then in the timeline so im looking for a easy fix here, really dont want to change over 300 buttons manually :S
AS in each button just different instance name for each:
on (rollOver) { tellTarget (c5) { _visible = false;
I have been trying to do something in Flash that I thought would be easy. I have created a movie clip with several frames and have tried to add a MouseOver MouseOut rollover to change from frame 1 to frame 2 whenever you roll over the movie clip. It doesn't work. It doesn't even seem to recognise any actionscript whatsoever within the flash file.If I change the movieclip to a button then suddenly everything does work as I want it to.
I have one circle mc, when i roll over the Circle it will show the content of the circle .. this part is working fine. but inside of the content i have one link . i am not able to select the inside of the link.
I like the mouse cursor to change to another object (like zoom lens) when rollover a certain area.but only for this area, when rollout of this area the cursor should be as per normal.[code]...
but that means the cursor have to change to a new object throughout the flash.
what i want is for the cursor to change just only on one area and the rest remain as usual.
I have a lengthy text running in flash movie. I want the movie clip to be stopped (meaning pause) when the mouse roll over on it to read the content... and when the mouse roll out from the movie it should be played continuously. ( not from the beginning. ) how to write the code snippets?
I'm tring to create a menu system for the cue points of an flv video chapters, the idea is it will appear over an flvplayback component when a menu button is pressed. The menu button itself appears when a trigger movieclip is rolled over. Now I have all the basics working, but my trouble is that the trigger movieclip is blocking the mouse events of the carousel. If I change the order of the movieclips so that the carousel is on top I get the carousel mouse events but only get mouse events of some of the area of the trigger movieclip.[code]...
I am a Trainee Web Designer. I have done a few major projects for websites and stuff using alot of Adobe Programs but i have this job where i need to make a map of a school with rollover mouse effects. So when the mouse rolls over the Admin Building on the map, a large picture of the Admin Building comes up. Then when the mouse is moved away the images closes. I need to do that with about 8 images. I have one main image which is an arial of the school, then there is different sections that i need to make 'active'
How can i go about doing this? i have looked for tutorials for ages now but they are either outdated or too advanced for me, i just need a tutorial that can show me how to achieve my goal. i cotton onto things very quickly so i dont get lost unless things get too advanced or there is a lack of explanation.
