ActionScript 3.0 :: Streamlining The Code For The Button Group With Individual Links And Rollover Images?
Dec 2, 2011
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 buttons that need to perform multiple functions: On rollover, they send their link to the browser's status bar. On roll out they clear the status bar. On press they send tracking code to the html. And on release they send getURL with the link. I've put in some variables so that I don't need to copy the links over and over, but I'd really like to streamline button functions so that I don't need to make a whole new set of onRollover onRollout onPress onRelease functions for each and every link. how to simplify button functions so that they can work for any button.
Code:
//IMPORT THE JAVASCRIPT EXTERNAL
import flash.external.*;
//THE FUNCTION THAT WILL CALL THE JAVASCRIPT FUNCTION IN THE HEAD OF THE HTML DOC
function jsStatus(link) {
// The name of a JavaScript function to call
//IN QUOTES, IN THIS CASE callStatusBar

I've been trying to develop a Flash Cube that has different images on each face as well as individual links for each, but I'm having trouble coding it - I can either get it with images and one link per cube, or no images and individual links!!(I've seen this elsewhere) I'd like it to freeze its rotation when you hover over each face as well.

i have followed the complex button tutorial today to design a websites buttons..
I wanted each button to link to a seperate frame for each seperate page of the site.
The roll out effect is all in one movieclip, with the actions on frame one (below)
//stop(); this.onEnterFrame = function(){

but I have had no success, it works perfectly for URL's typically!

It's been a while since I've last posted, but I read a lot of others' posts, and try to keep up to date.My question is this:I have a group of images that are loaded up using xml into a movieclip. The movieclip is masked. I have 2 buttons, that scrolls the grouping either up or down. I would like to make these buttons inactive when the grouping of images is on it's last row, meaning when there is only one row of images shown on the screen/mask.
I have tried using hitArea, but I wasn't successful. This would be easy for me to achieve if I wasn't trying to make it a bit dynamic. Basically, someone would be updating the xml file with more nodes/images and the swf would update the list of images, thus making it difficult to hardcode when the list should stop scrolling.

i have a bunch of movie clips and in order to make them rotate the way i want i have grouped them together, made the entire group into a movie clip and applied the motion tween. I'm trying to code it so that when i mouse over the movie clips WITHIN the group movie clip, something happens. How would i go about it? All i can work out is how to make the entire group react on mouse over, not the individual movie clips themselves.

As a test, I'm loading images (or references to images, more accurately) from an external XML file into Flash, each image representing where a thumbnail might appear in a portfolio, for example. I can get that to work fine. I have a couple of problems with the way the images appear, though. For one thing, when the 95 px X 95 px images are brought into the dynamically created 100 px X 100 px movieclips I have set for them, the JPGs stretch to fit... is this because I'm using the loadMovie method? The main difficulty I have, though, is my inability to get these individual movieclips containing JPG images to exhibit rollover and rollout behavior dynamically... without disturbing the image contained within.
Here's the code I have right now; my lame attempt at a dynamic rollover behavior is the for.. loop at the bottom, which is non-functional, by the way.
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
//according to "content2.xml," this would set the parser at "<projects>".
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
var thumbs:Array = new Array;
var description:Array = new Array;

I've got an area that, when you rollOver, tweens out a group of menu items. These menu items change colour when you mouseover. When you rollOut of the whole area, the menu tweens back. It seemed like the most simple thing to do, but it keeps giving me trouble! What I've got at the moment is an invisible symbol over the top of the rollOver area, including where the menu sits. The menu items are individual buttons for the mouseOver effect. I've got a full page invisible area (my standard technique - I call it "blockout") sitting right at the back, so when you rollover that (and off of the invisible area) the menu tweens off.
I can't just use rollOut invisible area because hovering over the buttons triggers that response and causes the menu to tween off. I've had to do plenty of similar things for work (apparently 'basic flash' to them meant I can do complex AS-based apps), and just tend to use my blockout method, but now that it's my own site, I'd like to do it right! If anyone knows a better way to do it,

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.

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:

I'm just starting with Flash CS4. I have done a whole heap of vector images and before I did anything I turned it into a movie clip but for some reason they are no longer movie clipped. How can I get my vector layers from the "Scene 1" and move them into their own movie clip?
Also I have done them all in individual files (never again), but how do I get all the individual .fla vector images and layers into the same file?
Cut and Paste just doesn't seem to work like PS.

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.

How can I load a group of Images and do something AFTER all of the Images have been loaded?
Furthermore I think they have to be part of the stage, to fire events, right?
I mean... I cannot simply create them, load the iamges and then add them to a Group just present in the interface... I have to add them to the Group BEFORE I load the iamges if I want to be able to handle the complete event, right?

I have this group of images loaded around 5 rows. When I mouseover at the edge on the right or on the left, the image will scroll. As I scroll, i want the images to loop.
Then, i tried to find script on this whereby if mouseover, each rows will move in diff speed. Myabe 1st row is faster, and the next row might be bit slower.
How can I loop the arrays of images? How can I make each of the rows move in diff speed?

[URL] I finally figured out how to get my rollover links to work, but now I need to figure out how to make the bottom links move. For example, when we rollover the Arizona Link, we want the California and Contact Us links to move BELOW the Arizona rollovers. And same thing for when the California link is rolled over, we want the Contact Us link to move BELOW the California roll overs. I feel like it's just a matter of simple code manipulation where I have the rollover code for the individual links, the code I have is below:

I am creating a flash website that is pretty much loading everything externally. I have some links that are loaded in by xml and I would like for them to change color when you rollover them. Ok I will give you the full actionscript and then the few excerpts from that actionscript where I think it should go, but hey I could be wrong it hasn't worked for me yet. heh.
Code:

I'm trying to build an AIR app to convert a group of png images in my desktop to SWFs.So far I can do that using PNGEncoder to convert the loaded images into a byteArray and then using another ByteArray to generate the swf.The problem is I want to compress the images as well and PNGEncoder class doesn't support compression. I triyed with JPGEncoder, which supports compression, but it wont support transparency.
What I'm trying to do is something like the properties menu in the Flash IDE where you can select a png and apply a jpg compression to it. And when you export the png's transparency is preserved.The point of this is so is easy to convert, lets say, 100 pngs into swfs (without having to load each one of them into flash, adjust document size, export, ...)

I'm dynamically loading images from a JSON feed into individual movie clips and then adding the clips to the stage(both by addChild)--basically creating thumb tiles. I've added a click handler to do something when the MC is clicked. WHAT'S MY PROBLEM: The problem I have is that the MC is clickable, but the content is not. For instance, the clip has a white box in it, and the loaded image is made slightly smaller and centered to give a white border around the pic. An empty clip loaded to the stage works fine, and the white border around the image is clickable, but the image is not.

I'm in the process of learning OOP and have run into a small problem. I'm trying to create a basic menu system where you can rollover and rollout of all links. When you select a link, it stays highlighted until you click another link.I've given the 5 links instance names like (link0, link1, link2, link3, link4) and given them each an ID of (0,1,2,3,4) - respectively. I used to be able to do something like this:
Code:
this.onRollOver = function(){
if(this.ID != _root.selectedLink){
this.gotoAndPlay('in');
}

I have a scrolling dynamic text box that has a list of links in it. They all have a different link added for each line in the list but I have been asked to make them change colour on rollover. Normally I would just create a button and rollover but I can't as the text is scrolling. Is there a way of adding AS2 or even css that means I can make each link change colour on RollOver?
