I would like to display an items description when you "roll over" the item with the mouse (you know how a little box pops up under the mouse icon). Is there a way to do this?

I want to create a button that toggles but has a roll over, roll out and click animation. Anyone willing to point me in the direction I need to be so that I can achieve this. I can create the roll over and roll out animation for the buttons but then how could I toggle between the two buttons. Ultimately this is for a start and stop situation. I want when I roll over the button for it to have a transition then click and it toggles to the alternate button with animation. I have been tackling this now for a week and with no success. So far I have found ways to toggle but loose the animation or vice verse.
View 4 Repliesi've been trying to code a small variation into the normal roll over roll out animations... i want the animation to stay on the last frame once i click the button. but when i put the code in it dosent even bother playing the rollover/out animations it just goes to the end frame...
Code:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
prevFrame();

So I have a menu that fades in on a movie clip rollover. It fades out when the mouse rolls out over a 'hit area' mc. All is working fine except when you move fast off the hit area. Sometimes the fade in menu remains up when the mouse should have traveled over the hit area and told it to fade out... any reccomendations to remedy this?

I have MovieClip A on stage, that when the user rolls over it another MovieClip (B) is added above it to the stage (it's not added as a child of Movieclip A). Now, when the user rolls over this newly added clip, it triggers the roll out event of the clip 'below' it. So, how can I prevent this from happening ?Basically, it's a movieclip that displays a button when rolled over and hides it when rolled out. I need the roll out NOT to be triggered when the user rolls over movieclip B.
View 6 RepliesI just want to design a button when the mouse roll over the button will gradually become larger (to a fixed size) and gradually comes to the originally size when roll out. I try to use "Adding Buttons to Movie Clips" method, ie, one MC with two layers, an amimation MC (tween from small to big and then big to small) and a button. Add script as follows:
on the first frame:
if (Playing eq "True") {
play ();
} else {[code]....
When I roll over the MC tween small to big and big to small and when roll out the MC gradually small. What I want is when I roll over the MC tween small to big and keep it is except when I roll out.
I have a graphic that when rolled over it starts a movie clip, when rolled out or off I would like the clip to instead of stop actually roll the movie back whether the clip is at the end or not. Like an animated button I would guess.

I want to be able to make a movie clip (that acts as a button) so the roll over effect finishes before the roll off effect is triggered. Like if a marker circles a button, i want the circling animation to stop before the roll off effects happens. Anyone know how to do this.
View 2 Replieson my stage are 5 buttons, each with the name of a product. i want to be able to hover over each product and see a Description of the product with a "learn more" link at the bottom of the description. the problem is that i want the Descriptions for each product to appear in the exact same place.
if the hit area of each button covers only the button itself, you can't click the "learn more" link because it disappears when you move off the buttonif the hit area of each button covers the Description area, the hit areas overlap each other. this causes the Description to always show the same thing (i think it is the Description of the last button i added) if you are hovering over anything besides an actual button.

What I would like to do is add a paragraph of text describing each photo in a different text field. Im not really sure how I would do this. I assume I would add another txt field in flash and set it to dynamic. I would then give it an instance name. Im not sure how I would implement it into the xml or AS though. I know its quite simple but ive been trying for awhile now.
ActionScript Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;

I used this code, from "Creating Websites for Dummies" to create a video playlist. The only problem is that it (the book) doesnt show how to load descriptions for the video thumbnails (saying the title etc...of the video). I cant work out how to attach a dynamic text field to each thumbnail that reads its description from an xml file, can anyone give me some pointers or explain how this is done? I've been stuck on this for a few days now and i cant work it out..
in the code below 'main' refers to an attribute in teh xml file.
Code:
ar nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);

I'm trying to do build some kind of photogallery, with movieclip loaders, but instead of having only one movieclip to load each image, I want to have a lot of movieclips to each load one image (so it increases se loading speed), and I want it to slide, so I have one movieClip, named Main, which holds numerous movieClips (it's not a movieclip loader, but each movieclip inside Main movieclip will be a movieclip loader), I have two buttons, one to go further, and one to go back.
What I want to do is, basically, that once we click on one button, for example the next button, the code tells "go inside Main movieclip and display the next movie clip" (for instance if we're on the number 1, go to number 2) etc ... So I thought I could give the movieclips inside the main movieclip a generic name, like n and n+1 (or n-1) and create variables but I don't know the syntax and to be honest how I really have to do it (I know how to declare variables, functions, but it's useless because I don't know how to describe it so it's understandable by flash).
IM trying to load an XML file with images and their descriptions and titles however when i attempt to trace the length of the XMLList, it displays as empty. heres the code.

I have two buttons in my flex app next to each other, ButtonA and ButtonB. When the user does a mouse roll-over on any of the two buttons, I want the roll-over skin (overSkin) to show on both buttons, i.e. Button A and Button B. I tried to do it using this when user rolled over Button B:
ButtonA.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER));
and then when the user rolled out of Button B I do:
ButtonA.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT));
Button I cannot do the same on Button A when the user rolls in/out. It causes an infinite loop resulting in stack overflow.

View 2 RepliesI have a gallery page that has a UILoader Two buttons (back/next) and a Dynamic Text box.
When UILoader pulls in the new image i want to populate the text box with the description of that image. I have got the code working to pull the external text in the first time you go to the page but cannot figure out what to do to make it call the function and pass the right argument every time you click the next or back button.
Attached is my code.

var textNumber = 1;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("images/description"+textNumber+".txt"));

View 2 RepliesI am busy converting my online digital portfolio from AS2 to AS3. I have made a new .fla and placed within it only the elements that relate to my question, to greatly simplify things so it is easy to see what I want to do.Lets say I have 3 movieclip buttons, which do three things when hovered over :
1. play a shine animation
2. move slightly
3. cause a tooltip description to appear / fade in, somewhere else on screen.
When mouse moves off, the above 3 things revert to normal and the description fades out.These buttons serve to show a description of the relevant project in my projects folder (project1.html, peoject2.html and project3.html, for demonstration purposes), and to link to them when clicked. The point is that I am trying to do this dynamically, so I have one movieclip(called descriptions) that contains all the descriptions each on its own frame, and use something like
//pseudocode
when button 1 is hovered over, descriptions.goToAndStop(1);
It is difficult for me to explain - but if you just run my swf and also take a quick look at my code (its not a lot) you will know exactly what I am trying to do.
In summary: Basically if you run my swf, you will see 3 buttons. When you hover over each, they are all saying Description 1, but I want button 1 to show description 1 and button 2 to show description 2 etc.Key items / code to look at inside the .fla are :
1. the first frame on the main timeline, actionscript layer - the code
2. the descriptionsHolder movieclip on the descriptions layer
3. the projectDescriptions movieclip inside the descriptionsHolder movieclip
4. the dynamic button (double click any of the buttons) - this is the idea I want for the descriptions too, its a reusable button that has the label 'button1' on all 3 buttons but with some code - the labels change at runtime to button1, button2 and button3.
5. the code inside the dynamic button movieclip on frame 1, actionscript layer.
6. note the buttonLabel movieclip inside the button movieclip, same thing I want done for the descriptions.
6. Also to please note, my code for linking each button to a project (not working)- that I also want to be a reusable function, for assigning a variable to contain the link for the dynamic button, depending on which instance of it is clicked -> go to either project1.html, project2,html or project3.html. I am trying to 'think like a programmer' and use modular, dynamic stuff, but it seems I am having trouble assigning variables or individual frames at runtime to multiple instances of the same dynamic movieclip.
I have basic movie clips, On roll over, show arrows [NEXT, PREVIOUS] on movie clip [they then show other images inside movie clips]I can show arrows on roll over.But when i roll over the arrows the main ROLLOUT function gets called, the arrows hide. I've tried several flagging methods and have resulted in using a larger invisible border around the clip, rolling over that hides them.
View 1 RepliesIm struggling to get anywhere with this which i assume is simple :swhen i enter a page it rolls in with a animation, and when i press any other main nav button it rolls out (reversed animation) of current page and then plays (rolls in) with the new page.Ive got all my buttons going to relevant pages but not sure about the reverse animation bit ?
View 1 RepliesI have 3 buttons going around in a circle, in the middle of this circle I want a specific image to fade in for each button when you roll across it then fade out when you move off the button. I also want the button itself to change colour slightly when you roll across it. I've not had much look so far without the use of actionscript, but even with using it I'm not getting very far, I also seem to have a problem where once I have an image appear on the rollover of abutton that the image becomes part of the button, ie instead of the image just appearin when you roll over the button it appears when you roll over where the image should be appearing.
View 1 RepliesI imagine this is a simple fix but I can't figure it out. I'm still very new at ActionScript so please forgive me. I have a contact form that works great as a .swf on its own, but when I import it into a larger movie I get loading errors as such:

I am trying to use a rollover or a click effect on a button placed in a time line. The button is in a different layer to the running time line. When I go in to up, over down, hit and insert a new frame there when the movie runs the button just flicks back and forwards continually.
How can I get the button to switch over only when I roll over or click it?
I have 10 square color movieclips and I want whe rollover on one another 3 kinda rollover too and do this for all the movies clips. When rollover on b1 i want the b2 b3 and b4 to appear darker too. When roll over on b2 I want the b1 b3 and b4 roll over darker too.
