ActionScript 3.0 :: Simplifying RollOver Code?
Aug 31, 2010
I'm new to AS3 (less than 72 hours new) and I have a working code that animates buttons on rollover, however the code seems much too redundant There has to be an easier way but I just don't know the syntax yet.
Code:
//Home
menu_mc.home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, HomeButtonOut, false, 0, true);
menu_mc.home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, HomeButtonIn, false, 0, true);
function HomeButtonOut(event:MouseEvent):void{

I apologize in advance if my question is not clear, because I don't know how to put this. What I am trying to do is to reduce few lines of repeated code by implementing various OOP methods/concepts.
The problem I have few set of of classes which has initialization process. So, I am implementing an init() method in all those classes. From the calling class (main), these objects will be instantiated and init() method of each object is called in the the order and call some other process after all of them are initialized. Something like this

I am using Flex/Flash to build a UI which front-ends my Rails server application. I am using WebORB as the communication mechanism. My question should apply beyond just WebORB, however. (I think).
Specifically, it has to do with the services-config.xml file. I have a local (laptop) dev environment, a remote dev and a remote production environment. I am sick of editing the URL in the services-config.xml file, rebuilding and deploying every time I want to test in a different environment.

By setting the URI="/weborb" and giving it a relative path, I figured it would work. locally--but it doesn't when I deploy it to my remote dev and prod environments (Heroku). Weird.

bring object to the front flash (code snippets)-- How can I make this a rollover rather than requiring the user click on the object i.e. they just need to move cursor on top of the object and it will be brought forward.

I know I can make an array if all the buttons would have a unified code executable change, i.e. they would become larger and brighter.
My problem is that each button represents an product image in the lights off stage, then of rollover it is a lights on stage so I have to import two images in the on and off stage and play around with the opacity.Additional problem is that each button has to ling to a different label.
My question is: is it possible to unify the code if buttons have that much individuality or I have to make each one of them as in the example below.
// makes a hand cursor appear over a mc acting as a button for all the buttons inside the scrollpnaeBckgrnd_mc.scrollpaneBckgrnd_btns_mc.
MovieClip(mc_pane2.content).scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.scrollpaneBckgrnd_btn s_mc.buttonMode = true;
MovieClip(mc_pane2.content).scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.scrollpaneBckgrnd_btn s_mc.useHandCursor = true;

I have a background Nav area, that on rolling over, I want to come more clearly into focus. This is done by lightening & changing the colour on rolling over, where the background nav area is actually 2 identical boxes, and only the top one shows and lightens and de-blurs on rolling over.
The problem is, I have buttons (of course!) over this whole thing, and when someone hovers over the button...it makes the original code of the nav background think it no longer is rolled over, and goes to the onRollOut() function. It also seems to be killing my performance, so I might be doing something totally wrong.
What I would like is essentially a focus control - you are over the nav background and it lights up the way I want, but the buttons over it (both the nav and the buttons are on the main timeline - the buttons in a layer above the nav) still work normally and it stays lighted up...here is my code if I am doing something obvious, though I have only made a couple of posts so I will not blame anyone for not having a go at it...Shawn
this is in the nav background movieclip, which has a navUnder mc and a navOver mc included in it:

The script for my timer worked for one button but as soon as I set up the other 2 buttons to do the same, I started having a problem where the rollover action would go after the set amount of time was up but then would repeat itself once after the set amount of time was up again. just to clarify, if it needs it, the reason I don't have a rollout attached to these buttons is because I want the menu to stay out until you leave the menu area
so I have an invisible button called menuin_btn which sits to the right of the menu and covers the rest of the stage where the content will be, so you have to rollover that area for the menu to roll back in. The "rollin" in my code brings the movie clip to frame 16 (the end) where I have a gotoAndStop(1); command to get it back to frame 1 so the rollover can be used again. I've attached a zip with my current flash file and swf and here is what my current script looks like on the main scene:

I am making a ball move from left to right and back. but when I rollover twice quickly, it also accepts the second rollover command. I would like it to accept that second rollover only when the first one is finished. I mean, I want the first to be finished before it accepts another rollover.I know it is simple to solve this with a tween using frames instead of as, but I was wondering if someone knows how to adapt the script.
on(rollOver){
ballTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(balMC, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut,balMC._x, 44, .5, true);
ballTween.onMotionFinished = function() {
ballTweenterug = new mx.transitions.Tween(balMC, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, 44,11.9, .5, true);

I'm trying to create a rollover for a movie clip. On rollover, a line underlines the text,and when it rolls out, the underline reverses. This works fine the first time. The next time you rollover, the animation doesn't work. Then when you move the mouse off the button, a line appears under the text and doesn't go away. Here's my code on the invisible button.
on(rollOver){
this.gotoAndPlay("animIn");
}

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.

I have a button set up, that when you rollover the button, it changes into another picture and stops, and also when it's rolled over, a large picture appears under the rollover.But when I first rollover the button, it acts like it's told to go to the out state. When I rollover it again it works fine.URl...there is my code to go into the movieclip and play the button

How do I do a onRollOver detect without using the onRollOver function?I have a movieclip and when it's rolled over I have it zooming using the AS2 tween function.In that movieclip there's a form with fields, and if I use the onRollOver function on the movieclip to zoom, the whole movieclip becomes a button thus preventing any input into the form fields. Is there an alternative I can use?

Okay, now things are getting a little complicated. I need to build a Flash object that can sit over the corner of an image to serve extra content. It's way beyond my Flash skill level, my work is usually limited to print work in Photoshop and Illustrator so please excuse me if any of the following isn't clear. I am trying to learn though, So this is how it's all supposed to work, along with my issues; When the image & Flash item load a small looping animation will play to draw the eye/show the item as interactive.
When the user rolls over this the corner will peelback. I have a working peelback animation for the rollover, that reacts to mouse over/mouse off, and a looping animation for the initial, but I cannot work out how to make the initial loop until mouseover, then play the peelback when the mouse is over. And go back to the initial animation loop if the user rolls off. (Each of these animations is stored as a movie clip in the Library)
Then it gets more complicated... if the user stays on the corner until it is fully peeled back I need to make a small countdown (sort of a 3, 2, 1 situation) show, before launching a lightbox (would this have to be jQuery, or could it be done in Flash?) in the browser to serve the content.

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.

Basically what I'm trying to do is build an interface out of a fan of cards. I've got the the whole fan as a movieclip and then individual movieclips of the cards inside that have rollover animations.My issue is the rollover works on the cards arranged behind the cards that have the cursor over, which I don't want to happen.e.g see attachment.here's the rollover actionscript i've got on each card:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.nextFrame();

I am trying to figure out how to make a bottom bar similar to the one seen ontions inside the bar- here's what I've got so far:as you can see I have a date/time MC inside the bar_mc which is working fine but whenever I try to have a new rollover/rollout movieclip (or button) inside the bar_mc it won't work/won't show rollover animation.

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 have a horizontal bar that appears on a rollover - goes from a 0 alpha to 50%. In that horizontal bar are some thumbnails that I want to have some type of animated rollover action applied to them.The rollover action to make the bar appear overrides the thumbnail action - if I put the thumbnails on TOP (in the layers) of the bar then when I roll off of a thumbnail then I trigger the rolloff action on the grey bar.I simply want to make the horiz. bar appear - stay there while moused over - but at the same time I want to make the thumbnails animate when I rollover them while the bar is visible.

I would like to have a box and when you rollover it it slides down, and then a simple navigation appears that has it's own rollovers.[URL]I've even gone as far as when the mouse is over a certain area on the stage it calls the rollover function with no luck...How can I achieve this?

As stupid as my question might sound, i have spent the last 2 weeks reading oop books; but could use some guidance. I have a flash project that is basically a supped up slide show. On the stage i have the following: main_mc (instance name = images_mc) = movieclip which holds "pictures" ui1 (instance name = ui1_mc) = user interface that allows user to draw on picture (when drawing is enabled) ui2 (instance name = ui2_mc) = activates invisible hit areas (buttons) on select pics, when hit area is clicked, we jump to another pic in the main_mc.
I accomplished all of this on the timeline, but am updating the code to OOP. I am having A HELL OF A TIME trying to figure out how to store references to the instances (images_mc etc..), so i can control them from varying class files. I have found it is easy to control the instances from the documentclass, but not from unrelated class files. Example: images_mc.stop(); works in document class; but ovieclip(Parent).images_mc.stop() doesn't seem to work from any class file.(ui2 class file for example);

here's a part of my code:
player_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (enemy0.hitTest(this)) {
enemy0.speed = 0;
} else {
[code]...
Note the red code, I need to repeat this an unknown amount yet multiple times but with the number on the end of enemy incremented by 1 each time. It starts with 0 as you can see the code just above the red. I heard about for loops using 'i' but im unsure about how to use it.
edit: ah, this forum isnt letting me highlight red. Everything in this editor is also failing. well, when I say code in red i mean this code:
if (enemy1.hitTest(this)) {
enemy1.speed = 0;
} else {
enemy1.speed = 1;

I'm looking for a workaround to the "AdSense does not let you choose only images but no flash" issue. I'm rather a newbie to JS, but is there any way for one script to prevent other scripts embedded in a site from detecting the presence of the flash plugin? Even if it doesn't work with AdSense, it would be nice to know if there's a hack to do this that might work in other settings.By the way, I suppose I wouldn't care if it failed to work on IE or obsolete browser versions.

I have attached a simple test fla.I am trying to centralize my code in all my movies using dot notation instead of spreading my code all over the place. It never works, I must be doing something wrong.The test .fla has a movieclip with a timeline animation. I used the linkage identifier to name it 'reload' AND named the instance 'reload'.
_root.reload.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
The pointer doesnt even change to a hand.

Got to the point where the hole in my AS3 knowledge is getting large!Realising I have confusion about the relationship of:Body of code on first frame of AS3 file.(Which I have so far used to create instances of library objects using addchild and make calls to class code).Is this code called the document code? What do people call it?Numerous classes linked together by extending each other etc.Library objects (usually graphical objects)Should it be done differently? have the following problems due to lack of understanding:Addchild complicated from a class but straight forward in main body code.Cant call functions on the main body code from classes, because class code does not know the main body code exists?
