I have create a TextField over a button inside a movieclip and when I roll over the part of the button where the TextField is the rollover is not registered. Is there a way to prevent the mouse from seeing the TextField so the rollover just happens? I've set the selectable parameter to false, but that hasn't fixed it.
View 3 RepliesI have a movieclip that I want to rollover to begin animation. I don't want the "finger" pointer so people aren't inclined to click it. i want to keep the default cursor.
How can this be achieved?
I got this:
Code:
X25 = "<a href="asfunction:myClick">Show Box</a>";
box._visible=false;
function myClick() {
box._visible=true;
}
Where X25 is the name of a dynamic text field variable (not instance name).
What I really need is for a rollOver action - you need to physically click the text box for it to work and I need that for another action
I just recently started playing with cs5 and it's new features. I tried to rotate a textfield with the 3D rotation tool, but when you do this, the textfields gets blurry.And it seems like it's not a vector text anymore, because when you zoom in, it still is blurry.Is there a way to prevent that?
View 5 RepliesI'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.
View 1 RepliesI am using movie clip buttons while building my own flash site, and I need to prevent the rollOver effects from being available until after a certain frame... I have the buttons "blurring" in when you first access the site, and if you rollOver the movie clip buttons before the blurring has compelted, the buttons skip straight to the rollOver effect and it looks really wrong.Here is my current movie clip buttons
code: (for rollOver):
btnContact_mc.onRollOver = function () {
btnContact_mc.gotoAndPlay("_over");

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.

View 4 Repliesi have a button that clears the entire TextField but clicking the button makes me lose focus from the TextField. Right now I'm just putting the focus back with stage.focus = textField; as the event occurs.
Is it possible to somehow not lose focus from a TextField when pressing a button?
There is an attribute .restrict but as the defined it only prevents other characters from entering the textfield, restricting the textfield to the given characters. I want to prevent characters 1-10 from entering the textfield. The code below does not work the right way.

I've tried to create this rollover navigation...starting over 6 times already. Is there different language / coding for 1.0 and 2.0? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
if it's possible to prevent a textfield from auto-scrolling on highlight when it's height is smaller than it's autoSize height. selectable = false is not an option, and the smaller height is a requirement, can't make it proper height and then mask it.

I'd like to have it totally in actionscript 2, one level and able to do multiline with wordwrap. Right now i'm just trying to get it to display correctly. The buttons I think i have figured out once i can get the first part.
I think I'm close, very close, but something's happening. It's either replacing or covering up the previous menu item. I'm suspecting replacing because even larger textfields don't show under the last menu item. Here's my actionscript:

I have created a loop with 5 textfields (with 5 different names). The textfields autosizes and are in an array, so i can place every textfield as i want.
- But how do i create rollover and click events to these textfields?
- Is it possible to place this loop in a movieclip, where the movieclip autosizes according to the text in my text-array?
This is for a menu only with text - no graphic.
My Code:
// INITIAL VARIABLES
var buttonArray:Array = new Array( );

I have a movieClip that I use as a background which sits underneath two textFields that are dynamically generated... I have added MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER and MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT to that movieClip so that I can change the alpha value to fade in/out the background...
The problem is when you directly rollOver on top of the textField which prohibits the MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER happening on the background movieClip...I tried to set the selectable to false on those textFields, but that did not have any effect...

I'm having a problem with a finished flash piece where, in the most simple scenario, if the user screen size is very small, the background html comes up over the bottom of the flash movie and covers a portion of it. The effect can also be seen if you resize the browser window down fairly small. I want the user the be able to see all the content fine, even if they have to scroll a lot to achieve it. I have my flash set up with:
Code:
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
[code]......
The SWF in question is on this page: [URL]
The problem arises in the reflection. It's a duplicate MC of the main text. Once the faces spin to show letters, green boxes of text appear on top of the letters. In the reflection, once these boxes disappear the letters that were behind them do too.

View 8 RepliesMy AS 3 program has multiple buttons. Users can select one and then immediately select another and this causes 2 threads that collide. Once one button is executing, I want the other buttons to ignore clicks.
The problems are twofold: 1) the first time the 2nd button attempts to execute (by checking lock), when it returns (from checking lock) and attempts to pick up processing where it left off, it seems to forget where it was and does not utlimately complete its task(s); possibly variables have been altered, it is difficult to say. That is, AS 3 is unable to successfully pickup where it left off on the first button. the second problem is that AS 3 incorrectly returns to button 2 after the lock condition is cleared. It persists and will execute that button.
I have a few swf's that are loaded into a base file using levels. These clips can be cycled through by means of a setInterval function or when the user clicks the next or previous button. However, when the user hovers over a defined 'hit' area which is ultimately a blank movie clip, the setTimeout call is then canceled. This works fine, except that now the 'hit' clip - being above everything - prevents the movies below accepting hit states, and if I move it to below everything else, when one mouses over any element in the loaded movie, it then acts as though the user has mouse out of the hit area.
Is there any way to have this 'hit' clip do its job simply by determining if the mouse is over it, but without using an onRollOver function or equivalent?
Take a look at the following sites; and notice their menus. Both have a rollover and rollout on their buttons, and when the button is hit the button stays down until another button is pressed. In the scissor sisters site, the neon bar still fades out after another has been pressed.

I am trying to achieve this myself with my own site, which you can view in progess here:
My Site
I have mastered the button rollOver and rollOut effect, in which i gathered the code from a kirupa tutorial. My problem is, getting the neon bar to stay underneath teh last button that has been pressed.The main movie is located on the main timeline in frame 2, because frame 1 contains the pre loader.
The actions for frame 2 of the main timeline are:
Code:
stop();
movieLoader.loadMovie("news.swf");
total = movieLoader.getBytesTotal();
loads = movieLoader.getBytesLoaded();
[code]....
Now the buttons are not buttons, they are movieclips, which are located on the stage, and have instance names of b1 for news, b2 for biography etc etcInside the movieclip, the animation of the neon bar fading in takes 25 frames, and this has a stop action on the end.
This code is placed on the first frame:
Code:
stop();
news.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true)
[code]....
So now my problem is to make sure that the last button clicked leaves the underline bar down until the next button is pressed.
