View 5 RepliesI'm trying to create a simple banner ad where the mouse hovers over the button and a panel shows up over some content of the site.[URL]I have two different .swfs: the container, which is the button and a loaded swf that has the animation that comes up when the button is clicked. The button is only 183 x 40px where as the loaded swf is 183 x 160px.When the loader swf is loaded, it takes the dimensions of the button.
Is there a way to have the loader swf be its original dimensions, so when the mouse hovers over the button, the loader swf covers some of the content on the Web site?Also, how can I change the MouseEvent to load the SWF when the mouse is only over the button and not clicking?
The simple code I have so far:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
open_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadBanner);

I made an interactive rotating globe that shows all the continents (using CS3 and AS3). The globe rotates automatically. When the user mouses over the globe is stops rotating and they can use left/right arrows to rotate it manually to get to a continent. When the mouse rolls over a continent (Australia for instance) it changes color and should be clickable and go to a website but it's not working. It doesn't return any errors. The basic structure of it is this:

i've made some buttons that on mouseover shows a larger picture above the button. when the cursor leaves that button though the picture disappears until the user mouses over the button again. is there a way to ensure that the picture stays up until the user mouses over another button (then they would see another image)?

I've got several MC's on the stage set up so that when you Mouse Over one, another MC will popup with more info. However, the MC the pops up overlaps the original MC, so if the user moves their mouse over the popup (while still remaining over the original MC), it makes the popup go into an flickering loop since the roll over/roll off events are triggered over and over again to add/remove/add/remove the popup.
How do I make it so that Flash ignores the popups if the user mouses over them? I only want the popup to disappear if the user mouses off the original MC. So even if they mouse over the popup, the popup stays until the mouse is actually off of the original MC.
EDIT: I had to set mouseEnabled to false along with mouseChildren to false. I only had mouseEnabled turned off...but the MC's inside the popup were still accepting mouse events.
I am just learning actionscript 3.0 and am hoping someone can help me with a little problem. My code seems correct but only works half the time when I preview it. All I am trying to do is when a button is pressed, the content movie moves down to the right and scales down to 50%. The code works perfectly for the first few times I push the buttons but then starts to move some of the way and stop and I have to press the button at least one more time to get it to complete! Sorry this is so long winded but I don't know how to phrase it!

I just tested out my site in Firefox and IE. Everything works the way I want it to in Firefox but in IE I'm having trouble. When I click on a button my preloader shows up but doesn't stop to load the content, it plays straight through and then my movie pops up. Does anyone know why this might be happening? I've never encountered this problem before.

Web Design, Illustration, Resume and Downloads are all I have working so far.
i would just like to now how you could expand an image when the mouse moves over it.
I'm trying to copy this effect:[URL] as you can see, not only does the image increase in size, but it also shrinks the other buttons around it when the mouse goes over it.
To start things off, I use Flash CS3.moving menu that moves on its own when the mouse moves around it. Like the menu moves up when the mouse moves down.[URL]i have found similar tutorials for what i wanted.. but they are AS2 or older versions of flash..and what i needed is more along the lines of AS3 as that's what my class is learning and using.Does anyone know of an AS3 or anything that works with Flash CS3 tutorial thats what I'm asking?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to code a click-and-point adventure game for a class, in which interactive objects glow when you mouse over them.... In the frame I have the background image (in which there is, say, a drawer), and an image of the drawer glowing placed exactly over top of that. The glow image is invisible until you mouse over it, at which point it is supposed to become visible (and disappear upon mouseout). I have the mouseover function linked to the entire glow image (which is a movieclip), but it only seems to work when you mouseover a specific portion of the image (usually a corner). The code looks something like this:
ActionScript Code:
DeskDrawer.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, drawerLightUp);
function drawerLightUp(e:MouseEvent){
DeskDrawer.alpha = 100;
}
when the glow-image is moused over, it moves upward slightly and a small amount of whitespace appears at the top of the image.
I've been reading a lot about the benefits of Object Pooling. Found some "tutorials" online, all above my skill level. Can anyone please show me an extremely simple example of an Object Pool. What my game does is creates Ball objects when the user holds down the mouse, stops when user lifts up mouse. I need to store these Ball objects in an array(or Vector), and hit test them with other objects, removing them from the stage when the hit another object. I'd like to create a pool of say 20 of so, created once, and recycle them.

how to make mp3 player made in flash resume music when user moves from one html page to another?
(so that the music is constant it doesn't restart with every page).
I think this should be here instead of the Actionscrip area but not sure.I am using a button to have a small popup (which is a MovieClip) appear when the user does a mouse over. I have a LOT of these because it is a list of bullet points. What I'm wondering is if there is a way to do an array. It would cut WAY down on code.Although this is the Flash forum instead of ActionScript My code for one button is:
box_new90.btn_newUsers.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, newUserOver);box_new90.btn_newUsers.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,closePop) ;
function newUserOver(e:MouseEvent):void{activePop = pop_newUsers;heightPop = 75;topPopOpen = 190;topPopClose = 155;openPop();}[code]....
I have converted an image into a button and am using the following code to use it as an external link.

This works fine which is great but I would like for it to display information about the link when the user hovers their mouse over the button. How would I do this?
I have a presentation which is split into several different movies which are linked together by buttons, all I am trying to do is add a sound which will play when the user moves over the button, and then another that will play when they click on the button; I got this to work once but it cut off the sound because it loaded a new movie, so I found the onSoundComplete command, which I've tried in a load of different ways but nothing works...
here's the code i've got at the moment:
on (rollOver) {
mySound = new Sound(this);
mySound.attachSound("twisted1");
mySound.start(0, 0);
} on (release) {
mySound = new Sound(this);
mySound.attachSound("twisted2");
mySound.start(0, 0);
twisted2.onSoundComplete = function(loadMovie("history.swf", "this"));
}
And this is the error that I am getting:
**Error** Scene=home, layer=links, frame=1:Line 12: ')' or ',' expected twisted2.onSoundComplete = function(loadMovie("history.swf", "this"));
I've tried a few things but i just seem to get more errors...

View 0 RepliesI'm building up a site in flash CS4 using AS2.i have a movieclip that acts as a button where it displays severall other movie clips inside of it, for example mc1, mc2, mc3; I'm trying to set a value to a variable that tells me at the time the end user presses it which movieclip is playing.I've done this by adding: var cb = "sp"; on the first frame of each movieclips (mc1 stands for "sp"; mc2 stands for "te")
On the main movie clip, they are displayed sequentially, so on my perspective, when mc1 starts, the value of the variable cb should be set to sp. That way, when the user releases the mouse button, the timeline should move to the specified frame.Here's the code I have for the Mouse event:
bannermiddle.onRelease = function() {
if (cb == sp) {
bannermiddle.gotoAndStop(3);[code]........
I've had the trace to the code so I could see if the value is correctly set, but it keeps showing undefined...
I am building a sliding image movie. It takes two photos and compares them by using "startDrag" to slide a "setMask" MC horizontally to reveal one photo under another. The idea here is to compare two photos taken 50 years apart.

As you can see I have two MCs here one is a mask and the other is a handle of sort. They work fine separately but I would like to have the two function in unison or as one MC. The handle MC is just that a handle that appears on the left edge of the masked image. So when user drags the handle the masked image moves as well. (or vice versa)

View 1 RepliesI am looking for a possible fix for the issue I have. I created an animated movie clip where the animated images are bigger than the size area of movie clip's stage. Let's say I have a mc with dimension of 500x700px, but images are used 650x850px in size. I make transitions between images while they move on a stage. It is a simple timeline based animation. When I look at the published swf, everything is looking great. When I load this published swf into another swf on its stage, the behavior is changed. I can see the area what is beyond the intended visible area of 500x700px. I can see the portion of the image that supposed to be out of visible area and transitions lost the intended style. It looks really bad.As far as I can tell, the loaded swf content is losing its stage area. Its content is shown no within swf's stage area but within upper level swf's stage area. Is that possible to fixI still need to have the loaded swf with own boundaries where nothing can be seen outside intended visible area. I used mask to hide content but it did not completely fix the problem,
View 10 RepliesI'm trying to make an application in cs4 that allows the user to move a stickman into various positions and then play back the sequence of moves. Despite the fact that I haven't even gotten that far yet I also would need an undo and redo button. I have a few ideas regarding this i.e. logging each body part's coordinates as the user moves them and editing the timeline through some sort of 'record' button and undoing by having some sort of array...none of which I know how to implement into actionscript yet.
