ActionScript :: Show Buttons When Hover A Certain Area?
Mar 9, 2011
I am trying to achieve an effect in Flash. The effect in question is that when I hover a certain area I want my navigation (6 movie clips that acts as a button) to appear and disappear when I move my mouse out. The trouble is that right now I Can make then appear but I cannot click them nor mouse over them since I've put a transparent (alpha = 0 ) over them.
I'd like a solution or hint of a solution in AS2 but I am open to AS3 solutions as well.

I have a "hot" area where the user can drag around this newspaper looking thing. Also, there are hover captions that say, "Drag" and a caption that says "Close" over what will be the close button. Everything works fine. Until.... Click to drag the paper thingy, then release it. Move your mouse off the paper, then back onto the hot area. The captions snap right to the center of the hot area.

I am trying to find out when a link is 'hovered over' in a text area showing html text. I wonder if listening for a cursor change kind of event might be the way. I can't find anything in the docs.

Basicly I have a photo gallery which has graphic above the photos with text saying what the image is of. I am not sure on how to set the graphic to visible = false at the start of the flash movie? Also how would I achieve it so it only shows the graphic when the user has its mouse hovered over the certain images?

I have inserted in an image and a button and tried both ways. When you click on the image I want a picture to appear. I am using this on a map of a building I want to be able to show pictures of what you would see if you were in the building. The only problem I am running into is that when you click where the picture shows up it will appear.

I have a flow chart, the Flash works perfectly, no problems, however i am using the multiple screens on Powerpoint slides in a program called Articulate (a simple program to house things like this as a whole media object on a website etc).The only issue with this is that i need to add links on top of each button on the page, which link to other slides in the presentation. So not hyperlinks in the Flash code, slide-hyperlinks in Powerpoint.
The Flash code should be enough to make the shapes have hover states, but not be a 'button', if that makes any sense? The hyperlink shapes i add on afterwards in Powerpoint should be the clickable areas with the cursor turning to a hand, but the Flash code by itself should just have a hover state with the cursor staying as an arrow.
Here's the code -
var tl:MovieClip=this;
for(var i = 1; i < 30; i++){
[code]......

I need to trigger the hover state of a Flex button programatically, so that it looks like the user is hovering over it. There is a flex page about "Manually dispatching events":
[URL]
Which would work, but what I'd really like to do is change the style of the button without having to throw an event. How can I do this?

Any reason my slider bar would be moving on its own after you scroll over a couple of the hover buttons?

i am making a scroller and need to have it so that when you hover on the up or down buttons, then it will keep moving the designated layer up or down. right now the event handler i am usiing (onRollOver) doesnt really work right because it only moves one pixel, then you need to roll off and roll back on.... i am thinking there must be some do... while statement for the rollover action but i cant find it...

As the topic says, I am looking for a easy way to show ALL of the flash content when i import the .swf into the HTML fil. That means everything that's outside the set work-area in flash.Not sure if it's done in flash or in the HTML code (CSS)? Did find a css command:
overflow: visable, but im pretty sure this isnt right.Im offering my first born child for this simple information > GOGO!

I am using a magnifying glass effect in flash, but because my content and rollover buttons sit "inside" the magnifying glass, so they appear magnified, the rollovers dont work when you mouse over them because technically you aren't mousing over them, if that makes sense.

This will probably be simple for some of you. How do I make the "animation" stop? The text moves, based on the mouse movement, and I put a mask over the text to only show a certain area at any given time...

I am trying to make a brain anatomy game in flash CS3 and I am having some difficulty getting the buttons to respect certain proportions. Allow me to elaborate.
[URL]
And then I bring it into photoshop and make a different layer for each different structure (in the screenshot I only did it for one structure but you get the point)
[URL]
Now what I would like to do is import my .psd file into flash and make every layer a different button. But I don't know of a way to view layers of a .psd file in flash. But here's the bigger problem. As you can see, it makes the "clickable" area for the button a rectangle shape.
[URL]
Whereas I would like for it to be the shape of the specific structure. If the clickable area is a rectangle then there is an overlap onto other structures which is not at all ideal. Especially when I get into smaller structures. What I want is for the button to be exactly like the layer in photoshop.

how to make buttons play movie clips in a particular area when I press a button however I'm trying to make the jump up higher.
I have 3 menu items with 3 movie clips loaded just beneath the menu Items. However my first problem is, how do I hide content or even better, only play certain movies when a button is released?
At the moment the code for a button I use is:
on(release){
_root.intro.play();
}
But all the movie clips are overlayed!!

I just got the trial of Flash Cs5 and haven't used Flash since MX back in 04-06. Having an issue with buttons now in context of a scrolling text area. My code is set up as such:
[Code]....
Where up is the button to scroll upwards and down is...(you guessed it). Maintext is the movieclip in which my text is which each frame being the text "scrolled" further. My issue IS: This was working just fine UNTIL I added "Over", "Down", and "Hit" frames into my buttons (whereas previously they were just single frame arrows), and then when previewing my flash the cursor doesn't even recognize the buttons as such, and nothing happens if you click on either... If I got back and delete the over, down, and hit frames, BOOM, problem goes away. This seems very strange to me, I never had a problem like this in MX.

I have some movie clips turned buttons (by way of mc.buttonMode = true and friends) that scroll by an invisible button area, and when they are 'under' that area, none of their mouse events work. How can I still catch their mouse events in addition to the MOUSE_OVER of the invisible button on top?

I have a 400x300 area that needs to detect a rollover and animate several buttons, text fields, etc. sliding into it when the mouse rolls into the area so that they can be manipulated, and animate them sliding out when the mouse rolls out of the area to hide them from view. (example here: [URL])
What is the best way to do this? The only way I have got it to work so far is by using a listener to track mouse position, but it's not reliable since you can move the mouse quickly in some areas of the movie and the listener doesn't catch it.

I'm working on my personal portfolio site and desperately need help with some AS3. my knowledge about AS3 is very rudimentary. Hope anyone who's I want to change the pointer cursor to custom movieclip when mouseover different invisible buttons. These buttons are mainly forward & backward button for my gallery. I got some help from other site but still unsolved. Please take a look at my fla attachment to point out what's wrong with the coding. To elaborate a little bit more as what I wish to achieve you can take a look at the sample URL...I just need the pointer cursor to turn to custom mc when it mouseover the hit area of the respective buttons.

I'm working on a project for a presentation that has hidden buttons. I want a way that the hidden buttons can be located, if someone else has to give the presentation. I've seen an example where if the user hits the tab key it would cycle through all buttons and outline them in red. I am new to flash and action script and have no idea how to do this.

I am looking to create a flash based image slide show, but have some restrictions. Can't use XML to store the images, b/c this is going into powerpoint, and the client uses an older version which doesn't support external files. Also, this won't be advanced by a button, click, but will need to be timed between transitions. There is voice-over, music involved so the transitions times may not all be the same. I did a Google search, but every example involved XML and/or button controls.
