ActionScript 3.0 :: MovieClip As Button Animate On MOUSE_OVER
Mar 16, 2009
I have a SCENE with 4 MOVIECLIPS near the bottom of the scene that when moused over I want them to scroll/animate upwards to reveal the full view of the movieclip which has a message on it. Very similar to www.sunchips.com. Please look at this and you'll know exactly what I'm trying to do.
In the main timeline I have the 4 movieclip properties set as BUTTON with instance names on each mc. The attached code is for the first button/mc. I want the mc to scroll up when you mouse over it then scroll down when you mouse out.
Here is the AS code that is on the last frame of the SCENE where it stops the intro animation.
I get this error message when I test the movie: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndPlay through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.

I have a basic rollover function for my button, which seems to work, but whenever the mouse is moved to the right (but remaining inside the movieclip) the MOUSE_OUT function starts happening, and then when the mouse is stopped moving, the MOUSE_OVER code re-activates. I have no other movieclips in front of it, but it is masked using actionscript. I don't understand why it's doing this, because the mouse never goes outside the area of the movieclip, so the MOUSE_OUT function shouldn't activate. The movieclip doesn't change side or shape at all, it just changes colour.

I am attempting to have a text sentence slide out from behind and to the right of a company name. The company name is a movie clip and the sentence is a movieclip within a movieclip.On a mouse_over the sentence scrolls out from the right of the company name and then on a mouse_out the sentence scrolls back to the left behind the compnay name. This is working perfectly.Here's the trouble: after the sentence has scrolled back behind the company name and when the mouse is placed over the company name again, the sentence will not scroll out from behind the company name. The movieclip performs perfectly only one time and it won't repeat itself. I would like it to work everytime the mouse is placed over or removed from the company name. Perhaps you know why this is happening. Here is the code I am using on the main timeline. The inner movieclip has its own timeline for the sentence. It has a 60 frame tween on it with a stop() command on the first and sixtieth frame.

I have a square movieClip that expands into other movieClip options with a MOUSE_OVER. This works no problem. I drew an invisible rectangle underneath all of these options so that they would stay open when I moved the mouse towards them.
But when I try to code the first option to also work with MOUSE_OVERs and CLICKs it causes problems. At first when I tested the movie it looked fine until I tried to MOUSE_OVER the first new option - the new option produced no results. I think this was because the original invisible rectangle was on top of it.
So I changed the order of layers so the invisible rectangle was on bottom. Then as soon as I tried the new option, the entire original movieClip collapsed back to its original state. I assume that the area beneath the new option was being covered up, and thus my MOUSE_OVER (on the original movieClip) no longer registered.I then tried adding code to tell the original movieClip to also listen for a MOUSE_OVER on the new option. This worked - I could move the mouse over the new option and the original movieClip remained open, but the old problem of the new option not registerring occurred. I think my new code overrided what I wanted the new option to do.
I am confident that I could probably get this all to work if I simply opened the original movieClip with a CLICK instead of a MOUSE_OVER, but I'd rather keep using a MOUSE_OVER if there's a way to do it.
I realize that this is all a bit hard to follow, so to summarize - I want a single movieClip to animate, revealing new movieClips. I want to be able to animate these new movieClips (with MOUSE_OVERs and CLICKs), all while the original movieClip remains "open" in its MOUSE_OVER state/frame.

I have a movieclip that contains a textfield inside of it. This MovieClip has 2 frames, with the graphic changing colors in both frames and textfield staying the same.I have applied this code to it:
Actionscript Code:
btn.buttonMode = true;btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, pauseBtnOver, false, 0, true);btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, pauseBtnOut, false, 0, true);public static

I'm using a MOUSE_OVER event to display an invisible movieclip...so when user hovers mouse over movieclip it tweens from 0 alpha to 1 alpha. However, I'm having problems with it. The movieclip is a MusicPlayer, which contains other movie clips within it. When I move the mouse over the music player's background it appears....I then move the mouse over the Play button and briefly the MusicPlayer disappears then reappears. This happens every time I move the mouse to different elements of the MusicPlayer? It quickly flashes invisible, then becomes visible again and its a pretty annoying effect.
Are there any alternatives to the MOUSE_OVER event? I was thinking about maybe drawing a rectangle that covered the area of the music player but was separate to the music player, so whenever the mouse was within the rectangle's x and y coordinates the MusicPlayer would become visible.

What I would like to do is have various MC's act as buttons so I can have animations in their various states. I have no problem controlling the MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT animations, but I want another animation to happen with the MOUSE_DOWN action, and at the same time I want to disable the button controls. When I call a myClip.mouseEnabled=false;, myClip plays on, instead of remaining at the frame it is at, like it did with AS2. One solution I found was to create a second mc and have it cover myClip, but the animation I'm using makes it unusable.

I have a bunch of areas on a map that I've turned into buttons. When the user does a MOUSE_OVER on a button, I'd like an info box to show up so they can see some information. So far, I've created my info boxes as movies clips with fade-in/out tweens between frames.

Ive been messing around with Tweenlite recently and love it. However there seems to be an issue how you can set which movieclip you are animating, for example to animate a movieclip from one position to another you would simply have: TweenLite.to(mc1, 1, {_x:220, _y:220}); However Im simply trying to replace the movieClip with a variable which changes like this: TweenLite.to("mc"+i, 1, {_x:220, _y:220}); Where 'i' is incrementing as normal. This in effect should produce mc1, mc2, mc3........and so on but it doesnt??? Anyone have anything they could share with me into why this wont work?

I have a MovieClip (call it base_mc) which is under a bunch of other MovieClips (call them subclips). The MovieClips on top are all mouseEnabled with MOUSE_OVER, CLICK, etc, event handlers. I want to capture the event of MOUSE_OVER (or ROLL_OVER) on the base_mc as well. Any time I am over one of the subclips I am also over the base_mc clip. How can I capture this event?

I'm working with an ActionScript Classes file for some MovieClip buttons to animate In and Out. Everything is working the way it should but I would like the button to stay indicated once clicked on and then animate out once a new button is selected. The way I set it up in the past isn't very efficient and the next project I'm working on is going to be a lot of buttons. Trying to learn something more efficient.
Here is the AS class code:
class ButtonClass extends MovieClip {
public function ButtonClass() {
this.onRollOver = this.Over;
this.onRollOut = this.Out;
} private function Over() {
this.gotoAndPlay("Over");
} private function Out() {
this.gotoAndPlay("Out");
}}
And then for the MC button in the FLA:
b1.btnMC.btnText.text = "PORTFOLIO";
b2.btnMC.btnText.text = "CONTACT";

supposing there is a movieclip in stage.. let's say its a circle with an instance name of "theCircle"..
the circle has to move / go to / animate to a random location on stage every 5 seconds... basically, the circle should move to the random location, stop and wait for 5 seconds, then move again to another random location.. again and again...
the code below is untested and incomplete.. but it is what i am trying to do.
Code:
var randomXPosition:int;
var randomYPosition:int;
var positionTimer:Timer;
[Code]....
on the moveCircle function, i can simply set the X and Y of the circle equal to randomXPosition and randomYPosition... but that would just change the location of the circle, not move it.. i am trying to make the circle animate towards that location at a constant speed..

I have 170 images that I need to place on the same place on the left side of the stage and and have them move across the stage one at a time, increase in size and then fade out after 10 sec. The sequence then continues for all 169 images. My initial thoughts are to animate the first image inside a movie clip, duplicate it and swap the image. When I tried this it worked fine until the image had shape tweened to the larger size (at this point the image displays for 10 sec and fades out). At the key frame at this point the image changed back to the original one. What do I need to do to make the new image visible throughout the whole movie clip when I swap the image like this? Is there a better way to produce this type of animation? I am using Flash Professional 8 and quite new to the world of Flash and Action Script.

I have a movieclip created in the IDE exported to Actionscript via the Library panel (Linkage?).I instatiate multiple instances of it via a loop on the timeline.I want to move them around randomly via Actionscript. How do I do that?I tried using listeners, but I have no way to store values to make each movement unique.

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 have a simple question on a FLA I downloaded from ultrashock. You can download the FLA here Currently when you rollover a button the submenu drops down, but I was wanting to make that drop down menu animate above the button that is rolled over.Make sense? For some reason I just don't see where you make this change in the code.
