I've been working on my project and finally got to make the animation work, but what I noticed is that before I get to mouse over, it keeps going.
The movie clip is a picture that rotates about 45 degrees and goes back to the starting position. When the timeline reaches the point where the actionscript starts, it keeps moving until I mouse over and works the way it should (moving on MouseOver, stopping on MouseOut).[code]...
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.
View 5 RepliesI have a movie clip working where on rollover it sends it to scene 2 to play an animation but I don't know how to bring it back to scene one once you roll off of the clip. I have so far:
R1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, do1);
function do1(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndPlay(2)
stop();
}
what needs to be added to send it back to scene 1 after you MOUSE_OUT?
I need a letter to move slightly in one direction when the mouse hovers over it, and then move back to its original position once the mouse leaves the letter.
View 3 RepliesI would like a button on a keyframe mid-animation to stop the timeline if the mouse is over it and when the mouse rolls out of the button it continues to play. Is there a method like this that will work?:
if(MOUSE_OVER.btn_hold){
then stop();
} else if(MOUSE_OUT.btn_hold){

I am creating a sort of "information slideshow" for a clients website where a movie clip on the main stage acts as a slideshow and when not touched by the users mouse it fades through 3 stages giving information on 3 different subjects, then when the user places their mouse over the movie on the HTML page the animation stops to allow the user to use the scroll bar on the right of the movie to scroll through the information on the subject, then when the user is finished then can move the mouse away from the movie and it will continue to play through as it did before.
i have the animation playing with the 3 seperate "states" and identical scroll-boxes for each state and im trying to think of a way to make the animation stop when the mouse is over it WITHOUT using a button, when a button is used on the top layer of the animation the scroll boxes are not useable as the button is on top of them, so i tried making a gap in the button to cater for them but then of course the mouse isnt over the button when the user goes for the scroll box and the "rollout" part of the script is activated and the movie continues to play. is there a way to make the animation stop prehaps when the mouse is over the "main automation" movie clip WITHOUT the use of a button, or what would be even better is when flash detects that the mouse is over the top of the actual .SWF itself it stops the movie.
I am looking for real simple scripting - I have a 15-25 frame flash tweened animation and all I would like to do is run thru the animation once then on mouse click go to frame one and start again. And of course I am under a time crunch and completely fogged with actionscript 3.0. I did some basic projects back in the director days and thought I could just pick up where I left off. If I remember right it was simple scripting like
gotoFrame
and
pause
etc...
Image mouse overs cause fades the image to "black and white" and calls up a "view more" animation.
As far as I can tell, there are no sprites or images associated with this "view more" clip! I have searched everywhere, the images, graphics, movies, root directory.
I have Flash CS4 but I decided to use Actionscript 1/2 for this file. I am a beginner at using ActionscriptI need my file to loop back to frame 110 on mouseover. Also, the animationshould not loop or stop until the animation is over. What is the actionscript code for this?I already added a stop(); command at the last frame of one layer so it won't loop)
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a mini site for a course I'm doing and I have a row of buttons that have an image of a character that I want to animate when the viewers mouse goes over them. I'm not good with action script and I'm stumped on what to look up when googling for an answer.
Ideally I would like the row of buttons (that the chacters sit in - and when they are clicked they go to that characters main page) to animate - ie blink or move slightly but when the viewer hovers their mouse over them they then go into a new animated sequence - so I guess that would require two movieclips - so that would mean that the first animation of a blink would run all the time (I can do that bit! ) but how to get it to switch to another movieclip for the duration of the mouse hover - and to only play when the mouse is in that area (I've done scrolling image bars before and I hated the way it scrolled even when the mouse was no where near the images!)
this is a very rough bare bones of the flash page I'm doing - I've attached it to my main website just so others can see what I'm talking about. [URL] all the squares at the bottom will have a characters in them and I want them to do very subtle things like blink or the occasional wave but when someone goes to click on them they wave or jump around - this would stop if the viewer then moves the mouse away and it goes back to the initial movieclip.
how to make an animation reverse on a mouse event.I have a FLA with 20 frames with a movie clip (box_mc) with a motion tween applied, left to right then stops. I simply want to be able to click on the box to make it play backwards to the starting position. Simple? Not for me it seems. The last frame has a stop action, and the first has the code below.
import flash.events.Event;
box_mc.buttonMode = enabled;
box_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goBack);
[code]....
I have made a flash button, but I have a small problem. When i hover the mouse over the MC, my animation works fine. But when I remove the mouse, it plays the animation again. I can't figure out why. The animation is only supposed to play as the mouse hovers over the MC, and only then.Here's my code:
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_picture_mc = true;
} on (rollOut) {
[code].....
I am trying to make a class that plays an animation from code when the user clicks on a MovieClip.I copied the animation from the time line using "Copy motion as actionscript3", and made a class that plays it. However, when I try to add the mouse click functionality I run into problems:
1. If there are several instances of the class on the stage, clicking on one instance plays the animation on that instance, as expected. But if I then click on the other instance the animation plays on both clips.2. Repeatedly clicking on the same instance results in the animation eventually only playing partially, as if the animation got terminated early. This is the case even when I wait until the animation finishes before clicking again.I suspect that this behaviour is caused by AnimationFactory.addTarget getting called repeatedly.
Code:
package { import flash.display.MovieClip; import fl.motion.AnimatorFactory; import fl.motion.MotionBase; import flash.filters.*; import flash.geom.Point; import flash.events.MouseEvent; public class Square extends MovieClip { public function Square():void { addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playAnimation); } public function playAnimation(e:MouseEvent):void {

new to AS3 and starting with an ambitious project for my father in law's website. I don't want anyone to write the code for me, but I was hoping to explain what I'm trying to do and have some more experienced coders drop some keywords, pointers on how they would code it.I want to have a movie clip of a gunsight/scope thingy moving around a map, pausing once in a while. When it pauses, some text will come up that says "Searching...Found" and then a picture of a car will appear for a couple seconds.Now, I can animate all this in the timeline easily. But, here's where I'm getting held up: Across the top of the map, there will be a menu. On each button, when you hover over it, I want the gunsight to stop what it's doing, move to the center of the map and expand to show a picture that is related to the specific menu button. When the mouse rolls off, the animation reverses and the gunsight returns to the original looping animation (either starting over at the beginning or returning to where it was before the roll over).Is this going to be really complicated? Do I need to code the original looping animation to for actionscript to pull the gunsight from where ever it is on the map and smoothly move it to the center, or is there a way to pull it away from it's current location?

I'm trying to scroll an MC based on X mouse position and ease it into it's final position as it reaches the edges.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if anyone knew how I would go about making the following animation (just an example) start after the mouse has been inactive for, say, 20secs.
Code: Select allimport gs.TweenMax;
TweenMax.to(mc, 1, {blurFilter:{blurX:5, blurY:5}});
I have a menu at the bottom of my site. I want this menu to appear when the mouse moves and to fade out when there is no movement?
View 4 RepliesHow can I know when the mouse has left the flash animation?
View 2 RepliesBasically I want to have something pop-up, and stay up on when the mouse moves to a side of the swf, but it re-animates the pop-up motion when the mouse is moved even after it is on one side. Here is the script I wrote for it: (left_motion is the mc that has the animation.)
onMouseMove = function() {
if (_xmouse <= 300) {
left_motion.gotoAndPlay("up");
trace("mouse is on the left");
[code].....
So what I'm wondering is, how do I have the pop-up animation happen only when the mouse has changed from the right to the left, and vice versa (sides determined by the x position of the mouse).
How can i move an animation backward and forward with the movement of the mouse on the x axis? all of the mouse trailers etc move an object which is linked to the mouse. however i don't want my movie clip to move around the screen. I have an animation of a wave form which I've animated to look as if the wave is increasing and decreasing, ie its amplification. I'd like to move this animation with a mouse movement. ie move your mouse to the left and the wave form increases. move your mouse to the right and the wave form decreases.
I have made an attempt. but it is very clunky and the link with the mouse isn't exact. the animation of wave form moves only if the mouse moves to one side or the other. it's not instant, like the infinite menu.
here is my clunky code:
if (_root._xmouse>=300) {
_level0.animation.nextFrame();
} else {
_level0.animation.prevFrame();
}
I have a menu at the bottom of my site. I want this menu to appear when the mouse moves and to fade out when there is no movement?
View 4 RepliesI have a animation which plays from frame 1 to 10 and then stops. I have this animation inside a button. I have this button on the stage. Now when i play the movie, the animation in the button is played once. What i now want is that i want the movie to play once every time the mouse is rolled over this button.
View 4 RepliesI have a flash animation where a image is panned back and forth by moving the mouse in the direction you want to pan the image. I want to make it so that when the mouse is outside the swf, in the normal HTML area of the page, the movement of the image will stop, or better yet go to a much slower pan.
You can view the swf here: [URL]
I have created an animation by making a series of frames. So now I have a FLA file with the frames in.So far, so good.I can export this as a movie and create a SWF file.I can use this SWF file in a HTML document and get it to display in the browser.This is where I hit a brick wall. I have done a lot of searches but I am getting something wrong. I need to adjust this FLA/SWF so that in the HTML file, when the SWF is first loaded it does not play. If the mouse moves over the object it starts/continues playing. If the mouse moves away it stops playing.

I have 2 overlapping movieclips on the stage. Both are instances of the same movieclip, but with different names. One bigger then the other, due to a magnifying effect. (I have tried to out-rule that code by the way, so its not that). The intention is to make both movieclips play when the mouse is over the stage and then stop as the mouse leaves the area. Seems simple and I have done that alot of times with other animations.

In my flash project I have numerous buttons that when hovered over or mouseOut an animation of that button happens. Everything works as it should, except if you pull the mouse away from the button very quickly. The animation gets hung up in its own timeline. I know that there is a way for the flash file to repeately check to see if the mouse is still in fact over the button. I couldn't find anything in the tuturials. If anyone knows the scripting on this

I have two animations on the timeline- one from say frame a to b and second from frame c to d. I would like the first animation to loop indefinitely till mouse moves over it, which triggers the second animation to start and loop until mouse it moved away.
