i have made a button with a rollover and rollout state. Everything seems to work fine but only once, When you want to use the button again. It does not seem to start again on "rollover". it only does the rollout script.
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, over);

I'm in the process of building a Flash AS3 navigation for a client's website. The horizontal navigation has five main links, and a secondary navigation will drop down under three of them on rollover (this part isn't complete yet). The rollover and rollout states are animated: on rollover they gradually change color; on rollout they gradually change back to the original color.Well, I've finally gotten the code figured out (my first foray into AS3 after finally being comfortable with some things in AS2!). However, depending on how you move the mouse (i.e., if you move the mouse over the button too quickly), the rollover state remains on rollout and I can't figure out why. Can someone help? I also need to know how to designate an active state when the button is clicked (say, if you clicked on Projects, the Projects button would be highlighted (the rollover state) when you're on that page.The link to the in-progress navigation is located here: http:[url].... And this is the AS:
var homeLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("../index.htm");
var mySound:Sound = new clickSound();
home_mc.buttonMode = true;[code]......
I have created this menu with 5 buttons. The script attached to these buttons tells a movie clip to play certain sections of the clip to create the mouse over mouse out effect. The problem is if I move the cursor away too quickly the rollOut does not happen and the button is left in rollOver state.
View 3 RepliesI have navigation set up, where on rollover of each button 3 separate movieclips are affected. On release another movieclip is effected and a swf is loaded. Fine so far - here is the code (where the first mclip is where the buttons are located and the command goes to a frame in that mclip, the 2nd mclip is called 'copy' and the 3rd is called 'date')(the mclip effected on release is called 'overs'):-

The last time i put a problem on to this forum, i also spent a long time pasting my code and trying to describe my problem in detail, i then received an email from someone asking me what my problem was! Please only reply with questions based on what i've put here, if it doesn't make any sense to you then don't worry about it. If it does make sense to anyone out there tho, or if you have a better way of turning rollover states on and off, please dont' hestitate to get in touch with me.
was wondering how you could make a rollover/rollout over an swf and change the image without reverting back to the original image. For instance, or more specifically,How would you create the effect where you have a permanent change on a mouserollover so that it does not go back to the original design? I made two movie clips and I put them together so that now when the mouse rollsover or you click on the original movie clip, the second movie clip is played, but the second movie clip gets cut off as soon as the mouse moves away and reverts to the original movie clip. I also wanted to stop the second movie clip from looping or replaying if clicked upon - just play once

View 1 RepliesI'm using the code bellow to change the color of button on rollover and rollout. Tried to disable the button using mouseEnabled = false, but when rollout, the button changes color, instead of keeping it's rollover state.
Code:
stop();
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
//leave button1 as clicked when starting the movie.
[code]....
in short, when a button is rollover, it has to change its tint to "blue", when rollout, change to "null", when clicked should remain in "blue state", and restore the previous clicked button to "null state color".
In AS2, I was able to create an rollover and rollout state that utilized the nextFrame() and prevFrame() commands. When hovering over the hit target, a specific movie clip would continuously advance to the next frame using an onEnterFrame command. Conversely, in a rollout state, the movieclip would play backwards until it reached the first frame.
I could specifically use some help with how to implement the onEnterFrame command so that the nextFrames and prevFrames constantly run.

I need to add a rollover effect to the disabled state of a Spark button. This way, users can rollover the button and know why the button is disabled.I think I would have to override ButtonBase's getCurrentSkinState. Is there anyway to test if a mouse cursor is over a disabled button?
View 1 RepliesI have a menu with five nav buttons (atcually MovieClips). Each has three frame labels: "on", "stay", and "off". The rollover and rollout animations play flawlessly, but I'm at a loss as to how to give each button a sticky "active" state. I'd like the button to stay in it's active state until another button is clicked, then I would like it to play it's "off" animation. Each MC has this code:

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.

Scissor Sisters
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.
I started working on a little page of mine, and I already ran into some trouble hehe. I'm kind of learning as I go along. Heres the script I'm having some trouble with:

//tweens rolling in the menu

There is a flash which have a small navigation on the buttom. There is a small arrow on the buttom when the mouse rollover on the arrow the arrow is gone dissaper and the navigation show on the stage. When i rollout the mouse its collaps but when my mouse pointer is in the swf area. If i have rollout quickly form the navigation out of the swf area (on html). It's not working.
View 3 RepliesI have a simple graphic in Scene One which when you mouse over it, it changes to Scene Two where there are several round buttons that people can navigate with. What I want is that when the mouse is dragged away from the stage where the buttons are in Scene Two, you are taken back to Scene one. I can't seem to work this out. I only to want to go back to Scene One when the mouse is completely out of the SWF.
I made another button and made a square hit point that covers the stage and put that on the level above the other round button levels but this then doesn't allow you to activate and click the buttons underneath the square button. I just want a rollOut when the mouse comes completely off the SWF back to Scene One. Am I missing something?
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!
how to keep a Movieclip Btn 'Over State' to stay in the over position until another button is clicked?
View 1 RepliesI have a series of buttons inside an array. I am trying to get the buttons so that once they are pressed, they remain in the over state. Which is a darker color than the up state. So that people know which button they have pressed. Is there an easy way to do this for buttons?

View 8 RepliesIs there a way of telling a MC button to have a hit state like a normal button? I have some text popping up away from my MC button that is included in the hit state. When I roll over the main button the text pops up. But also, when I roll over where the text pops up it also triggers the pop up animation.
View 2 RepliesI have movieclip controlled by a button. by rollover on the button the movieclip transition starts working and I want that on rollout the movieclip will disappear in smooth fade. (the movieclip and the button have an instance name).
View 2 RepliesI have looked all over internet and so many different forums but no1 has the answer yet but here is what i rly wanna do in AS2 :
lets say i have a button(which is a MovieClip and not an actual button) tweening in size to 150% from frame 1 to 40 and then another tween sizing it back to 100% from frame 40 to 80. Then when some1 Rolls Over the button you see this animation going in a loop from 1 to 80 and again and again etc. BUT i actually want a Roll OUT that finishes the animation to frame 80 (even when some1 rolls out on frame 10 or so) and then returns to and stops on frame 1.
This seems quite easy to me and i used several stuff including currentframe etc but i cant make it to work.
I have a project where I need my button to have more than one function.the link to my flash file is:(tried to upload but it keeps saying invalid file)I have a countdown within frames 1-90. I didn't convert it to a movie clip because I have a flash movie that needs to run after it, which I put in frame 90.The way it runs right now with my rollover/out actions is perfect, BUT IT'S REVERSED from what I need. so close! grrr!
I need the countdown to stop if you move the mouse away.Then when the video starts (after the countdown), I need the rollout action to disable. If I can get this to work, I will be putting an exit out button on the flv movie so the user may exit out, using the button instead of the rollout action of the mouse.
Brief summary:
countdown frames - rollover/rollout
flv movie - no mouse actions
I have created a slide out menu using a tutorial (http:url...) the only differences are my buttons slide out to the right and they should do this when the user mouses over and then slide back when they mouse out. Unfortunately I am getting an error on the rollOut which I apply to 'dummy button' movie clip in the dropdown movie clip which allows the 2nd menu to slide back. This is the actionscript I'm using:
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
tellTarget ("_root.reverse") {
gotoAndPlay ("subbuttons1");[code]....
how I can get this to work (?), I can't upload the .fla here as it is too large but you should be able to view the tutorial fla if needed...
i need to make a button out of an image and i want it to go BW (black & white) when rollOver and back to color when RollOut.
View 6 Repliesthis is what i have ON THE BUTTON itself. (i'm using it to generate a stack of buttons, which work almost perfectly)
Code:
on(release)
{
this.text_txt.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;
this.base_mc._alpha = 100;
[code].....
now what happens is that everything works UNTIL i select a button. THEN it no longer reports (traces) when i mouse over it. (problem 1) ALSO once i select another button, the old button alpha doesn't reset to 0 and now i have TWO buttons that don't report on the rollOver. they still work, oddly enough, in terms of loading fullRes...how do i fix it? 'currSel', BTW, is defined in the main AS body...
I am a complete novice in Flash and action scripting, but i'm trying to create a button for a website that simply fades in on roll over and fades out on roll off. I've successfully managed to make the roll over effect work, but i'm struggling to figure out how to reverse the animation on roll off.

View 7 RepliesI'm trying to make buttons that involve a character pointing to indicate interaction.When a button is interacted with (mouse over or down) the character's arm points to that particular button. I separated his body, so that it remains constant on the main stage, no matter which button is being interacted with.The problem is, when the user is not mousing over or clicking down on any button, the character has no arms (since only his body remains constant)!How do I resolve this?The only thing I thought of so far is if there's any way to create an up button state that includes the arm (right now I have nothing for mouse up) THAT ENDS when the next button is interacted with. Is that possible? If I put the arm in the up state (in addition to mouse over and down) it stays when the interaction is over, which poses a problem when the user interacts with the next button (the character ends up with double the arms since each button introduces a different set of arms pointing towards that particular button).
