ActionScript 3.0 :: Play/pause The Rotator On Mouseover And Mouseout
Oct 13, 2011
how to make a basic image rotater by importing images and setting up motion tweens in the time line. That part works. When I hit ctrl + enter it plays through the images correctly.
Now I want to add an action script that will play/pause the rotator on mouseover and mouseout.
What I have so far is layers img1, img2, img3, img4 and an invisible button layer called buttonLayer.
I added a 6th layer and named it action.
Now every time I try to use one of the symbols from the library I get a "undefined property" error.
I have looked all over and find all kinds of tuts but none of the ones I'm finding tell the basics of how to use a symbol in the actionscript. Or how to make a symbol/instance/object in the first place. They just say things like "somesymbolname.play()" but when I replace that with my symbol name I get the error.
I've renamed all my symbols to img1, img2... because one thing I can see that is obvious is that there is no way "symbol 1" works in any programming language because of the space in the name. I'm confused that flash would automatically create a symbol with a name I can't use.
When I right click->actions to bring up the actionscript window for my action layer where do I start? And are there other things I need to do with the symbols and layers before I can use them in action script?
I'm attaching the fla file in a zip. how to add the actionscript it would go a long way in helping me understand how it all works.
I also tried saving the swf and then importing that into a new project as one single layer to work with and that doesn't seem to make a difference as far as figuring out the actionscript.

I have a simple rollover button that I want to use as a background image for a navigation on a drupal site I'm helping to develop. I'm not too skilled in AS3 and I can't figure out how to get the button to play on a mouseover and reverse on a mouse out - all from the current frame.URL...I set it up a motion tween that would play on a mouseover and then play a motion tween back to the original size on a mouse out but this only works if you stay on the button until it fully expands, otherwise it jumps around.

I have a basic mouseover in my flex application which changes an image onmouseover and changes it back onmouseout using the code mouse Over "functionToChangeImageSource()" and another one to mouseout.It works fine when you slowly mouse over and out, however if I quickly move the mouse over it, it occasionally stays on the mouseover image and the mouseout function doesnt appear to kick in. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or does anyone have any ideas why its happening?Also, I've tried the rollOver and rollOut instead but it has the same problem.[code]I'd imagine you're correct about the mouseover event not completing before mouseout is but how to I fix this?

I have a simple movie clip for which i bind two events 1-MouseOver and MouseOut
in these events i am just tracing simple text
But the Problem is when i take my mouse over the movie clip both events called tracing the string in the output panel
Infact, things should be done like that on mouse over, its text is printed and when i take my mouse away[out] from the movieClip MouseOut event should be called.
ActionScript Code:
import fl.motion.Color;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I have an image that grows on mouseover and shrinks on mouseout, and I'm using the following script for the events:
[code]...
The problem is that while the image is growing or shrinking,if the mouse is on the exact border it simultaneously gets stuck on both the mouseover and mouseout fuctions, resulting in seizure-inducing loop. Is there any way to ensure that a function completes once it's started, or some other way to avoid the simultaneous over/out condition?

I've got the following movie online to look at:(disregard background, temporary image)URL...I have 3 icons (will be 4, the photos at the bottom of the movie).When hovering over a button, it should rise up around 50px, and on mouse out, it should drop back down to its original position.If you look at the movie, it does that, however, if you move around the images a bit you'll see that at some points it picks up 2 photos/buttons at a time (since they're overlapping a bit I imagine), but the BIG problem is that sometimes, when picking up both images, they do not return to their original position when mousing OUT as they should, they remain suspended as if they are stuck at the end of the onmouseover function and can't come back down.[code]

I want to make two custom cursors. One to be visible on rollover and second visible only on mouse down. Is this possible. I want to make game where cursor changes into mc1 and moves around with mouse but when you click mc1 is changing to mc2. Till now i managed to hide cursor, make mc1 to move with cursor but dont have any idea how to change mc1 with mc2 on mouse down and then mc1 to come back on release. Is there any other way to make this, my idea was to make 2 clips to follow cursors and use as to determine when each clip is visible, but it doesn't work.

AS3 page with text links that change to a new color on mouse_over and change back on mouse_out. Sometimes the links do not change back and all remain colored after mouse-out. I have never been able to simulate the problem on my several computers at several locations but have seen it happen on the clients computers. Is there a known issue perhaps with Flash/AS3/Flash Player Version# that might cause this?

I am building a graphic component in MXML that has different states, each state having its own size. I have a "normal" state and a "highlighted state", the highlighted one having a higher height. On this components I implemented a function to be executed on each mouseOver and mouseOut to change from normal state to highlighted state and back. My problem is, in the highlighted mode, the mouseout event is triggered according to the size of the normal state.

I am using a custom skin on Flex's TabBar, and specifically the skin the controls ButtonBarButton. The width of the button is a variable size depending on the text it contains, and background of the button is an image that only displays on the selected states of the button.
The following is my MXML for the skin:
<!-- states -->
<s:states>
<s:State name="up" />

I tried wrapping the entire block in a Group tag, but to no avail. The invisible Rect does indeed fix the "machine gun" flickering that occurred when the mouse hovered over any edge of the button, but there is still a flicker on every mouse enter and mouse leave of each button.

I searched and found the code below which works fine to change the color. What do I do to make the color go back to it's original color on mouseout?
pedals.buttonMode = true;
pedals.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, changeColor);
function changeColor(e:MouseEvent):void {
var color_transform:ColorTransform=pedals.transform.co lorTransform;
color_transform.color=0x004433;

I have downloaded the following code and tried to change it. It works so far, but the attached MC are "pulsating" - if I change them with another MC (with text inside) I can't use them as a Menu links - they are "pulsating" too much and I can't read/see the text properly. where in code I can change(reduce) this "pulsation"? how can I make the MC-s cklickable=working as a buttons with mouseover/mouseout effects (changing color etc.)

i have an object on the stage, and, on mouse over of that object, a menu made of 4 other objects appears works great i want the menu to stay there as long as the mouse is over one of the objects in the menu, or the original object that spawned the menu so for every object in the menu, and the original object that spawned the menu, i made mouse over and mouse out listeners they keep track of weather the mouse is on one of the objects, with a boolean that is turned true on mouse over, and turned false on mouse out and also on mouse out, there is an if statement that checks if all of these booleans are false, and if they are, the menu is removed the problem is that, when mousing between objects, the mouse out listener for the previous object occurs before the mouse over handler of the next object, the boolean check is performed, and the menu is removed before the next mouse over boolean is turned on i was thinking about making a timer to make the thing wait for a milisecond or 2 before making the boolean check, but there must be a better way to do this, since older computers take longer to do stuff this solution might be buggy.

I have a very very simple flash animation put together, and I believe I set the document up in actionscript 3.0.
There is 4 layers currently: 1: a background, 2: a border, 3: a transparent png, 4: several images that run through a classic tween to make a scrolling effect.
Besides the tween, there is nothing else running and the tween is just taking some images in a straight line.
Is there an easy way to have it so that when someone puts their mouse over the flash in any location that it pauses on that frame and when they remove their mouse it will continue from that location?

I have a timeline of 30 frames, each it's own mc (page01_mc, etc.). In each mc I show a picture or two and hear narration.I have a first, prev and next nav on the main timeline. I need to add a play/pause btn that will pause both pictures and sound. I assume I do that in each mc, but do not know where to find the code.Here is what is in each mc now:
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
mySound.load(new URLRequest("english/Intro01.mp3"));

I have a flash ad that I can only play once. After it plays the user is required to mouseover to play it. When their mouse leaves the ad it stops playing.I am not sure what code I need for this. I am guessing a stop action with some extras.

I'm using Flash CS4 and I'm trying to create what I think is pretty simple. I have a tree that will have leaves. I want the individual leaves to fall on mouseover. When the animation is complete, I want the leaves to stay where they land and not reset back up on the tree. I know how to tween and animate the leaves, but everything else is really falling apart for me. I feel like this should be pretty simple. I've created the tree and leaves in illustrator and am importing the .ai file into flash and turning each of the leaves into a bitmap (as opposed to a movie file)

I have a movieclip and I have 3 layers within the movie clip with Shape tweens. Now i want to create either 3 buttons or shapes or graphics which, when you hover the mouse over, one of the specific layers with the shape tween, will play only once (until the mouse hovers over again).

I have a .flv video which is too wide, it needs to be 300px wide. I can scale it down in flash, no problem. I need it to start paused (displaying an image of my choosing) then when they mouseover the image, the image fades out to black real quick and the video starts playing. This needs to be exported as an swf file. Sounds easy, but I can't seem to get the action scripts to work. I'm using Adobe Flash CS 5. The video I want to use is here. [URL]

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);
