ActionScript 3.0 :: Play Movie Clip On Hover?
Mar 9, 2011
I've stumbled my way through making the animation that I want to play and have saved it as a swf. I've now started a new project, added a symbol to a stage and am trying to make it so that the movie clip I created will play when I hover over it.
I've tried making a button where I add the movie clip in the hover state, and it will play, but it just keeps repeating even though I have a stop (); at the end of the movie clip (the one I had created before in a different project). Also, the button is way too sensitive and the clip starts playing when my mouse is still pretty far away from it.
I've been told that I should be doing this with action script - telling it to play my clip on hover. I've tried copying so many pieces of code I've found online but none of it has worked. I've read somethings that said I should be making a button and adding the action script to the button and then others that say not, and then others that say it should be a movie clip.
I'm so frustrated at this point, I could really really use some help. How do I get my movie clip to play when I hover? Please be specific - does the thing that I am hovering on need to be a movie clip that I'm adding the script to or can it be a symbol? Do I need to add any script to the original movie clip I created?

I am going to be working on a site that has various mechanical products for sale. The customer wants me to make a model and movie of each product to show how the product works. Here is an example product:
Flash Clip The problem I am having is, he wants the movie to only play when a user puts their mouse over the video. I attempted doing this with a mp4 file and it worked using jQuery, but only when in Chrome. Here is that link:
MP4 Clip I want these demos to be viewable by the largest possible audience, so I was trying to stay away from Flash (also because I don't know Flash very well if at all). Does anyone know of a way to get this video to work in other browsers like in the second example? If not, how can I achieve that same idea using Flash?

I'm following along the "Hover Captions" tutorial on kirupa.com. everything works as it should, but I'm having a bit of a problem. I want to have the button that will be hovered over inside a movie clip. When I do this, though, that movie clip is moved around by my mouse.

I'm working up a flash file that will eventually be controlled by the Kinect. So I've hidden the mouse and put a startDrag on a custom cursor. The problem is that I can't get a reliable result for a hover/over state when the cursor is over a movieclip. It only registers the over state sometimes and when it does, it's very brief, even if you hold the cursor over it for a long time.The problem seems to have something to do with the drag or the enter frame listener. It's like it can't process fast enough to realize when it's over the buttons.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
import GlobalClass;

randomly perhaps. I would like to figure out a way to animate a movie clip so that it is slightly moving a little bit up and down and left and right. What is the easiest way to do this?

I am pretty new to ActionScript 3 and Flash. I don't want my movie clip to play unless the person's mouse curser is on the movie clip for more than a second. If the person just runs their curser over the movie clips really quickly, then it should do nothing. It must be more than a second. How do I code that?

I want a movie clip (let's call it homecontent_MC) with 100 frames play to frame 80 and stop.Then when someone clicks a button on the navigation bar (home, about, services, contact, etc...) homecontent_MC would then begin playing from it's position (frame 80) til it reaches 100, at which point it wouldn't be on screen, and the movie clip that corresponds to the navigation button press (say services_MC...) would start from frame 1 and continue til it stops at it's frame 80...

I would like play head of a movie clip to return to a certain frame of that clip so a MC inside it would loop. I now have: stop(); as the action.

I have a flash banner that includes a movie clip of the logo being animated. I want the logo animation to only run at the beginning of the main "movie". Currently I have to find the length of the entire movie (for ex. 500 frames) then put a key frame in at the 500th frame of the logo movie clip. I know there has to be a correct way to do this...Do I add a frame name at the end of the main timeline and somehow in AS in the logo movie clip say "when you reach X goToAndPlay(1);"?

I have my flash document set up in the following way: On the main timeline I have my buttons that I want to play movie clips embedded inside a movie clip on the main timeline.However, when I click each different button, the current movie clip stops playing and then the movie clip corresponding to the button plays.
I want them all to be able to play at once. So for example you push button 1 and the alien plays, but half way through you could click button 2 and the alien clip would keep playing, but also the helicopter clip would begin to play as well.Here is the code I have so far:
building_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alien);
building_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, helicopter);
function helicopter(e:MouseEvent):void {[code]......

i want to do many little animations with sound on one page. for not getting a complete sound mess i thought about playing only on hoover. i was lucky to mix up some as3 to get a sound playing only when you hover the animation.
A invisible button on a layer above the movie frames controls via mouseover and mouseout the start and stop of the sound - problem here: sound runs totally uncontrolled and asynchronous to the frames of the animation.

here is the code of the button:
PHP Code:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
newButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mouseOutHandler);

I am creating a project and I want the user when they hover over my button to have a song play, when the user leaves the over state, the song stops, I can't seem to get it to work. Here is what I am doing, I have my button, inside the button on the over state I nest a Movie Clip, inside of that I bring in the song, in the properties I set it to "Start" and "Repeat x 0".
When I load the SWF it automatically plays.I've tried adding some AS3 to it but I can't seem to get it to work. like "stop();" which did nothing.I did some googling and found "SoundMixer.stopAll();" which does stop the song from loading on start.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
SoundMixer.stopAll();[code].....

I want to play a short movie clip at the begining of this flash game. I'm not sure what is the best way to go about doing this. I was thinking to create the clip on its own seperate layers and then just move my action script keyframe that contains all the code for the game after all the frames needed for the clip to play. Or do i need to make it a seperate .fla and just import it, i'm not sure how to do it.

Truly basic question I know but I can't seem to find an answer elsewhere and you don't even want to know how long I've spent on this. I'm trying to create a button that plays a movie clip and stops when it's moused over. I've attached a file (.fla) that illustrates my problem. I'm working in CS4 Flash (not sure if that's the same as MX04?

Here's a simple one I'm sure but I can't get it to work or find a solution online.
I have a movie with 2 movie clips on the stage, the first clip is triggered to play on a button click (which works fine) but I want the 2nd clip to start playing when the first ends. I've tried putting MovieClip2.gotoAndPlay(1) script on the last frame of MovieClip1 but I get "1120: Access of undefined property".

I want something to slide off the screen when I click on it. I (think I) have it set so that when you click, the button itself disappears, and a movie clip of the object sliding away becomes visible and plays.
Code:
mcslide._visible=false;
slidebutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Click);
function Click(ev:MouseEvent):void
[code]....
The problem is that the movie clip will either skip right to the end and stop if I have a "stop();" put in at the last frame, or it will skip right to the end on the first play, but then loop correctly after that if there's no "stop();".

I have a simulation of a 3d rotation in a movie clip and what I want to do is on button press:
1) check to see if the movie clip is on a certain frame and if it is do nothing
2) if it is less than the 16th frame reverse the movie clip and play until it gets to a certain frame
3 if it is more than the 16th frame play until it gets to a certain frame

I bought the quiz from FlashDen and have been able to modify it pretty well except for the part in bold. I've added a movie clip that's suppose to play if the answer is right. I have a stop(); on the movie clip's first frame. I added a label to it's second frame called "coindrop".why the clip won't play?
