Actionscript :: Flex - MouseOver Event And Image Scaling
Apr 18, 2010
1) if I create items in a for loop, is correct to add a new eventListener for each item ? Or should I add only 1 eventListener to the parent ? and call the event through ID ? 2) if I want to scale my item, (a LinkButton with icon image), I noticed that the icon is sometimes resized with delay, so I have a bit of flickering when I trigger the event. Should I not use icons, and set the image in another way ? How can I fix this?
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?
Ref: spark.components.ButtonBar. In the spark ButtonBar's mouseOver event, how do you determine which of the several buttons the mouse is hovering over? There is, of course, no selected index at this juncture. If it makes a difference, my ButtonBar is not defined in MXML but is instantiated in ActionScript and an ArrayList is assigned to the dataProvider property of my ButtonBar instance.
How can I scale up an entire animation when the mouse moves over it? Background: I'm no newbie on web development (I do PHP, javascript, CSS et al, and get paid handsomely for it) but I've never done Flash. However I am updating this site [URL] (the guy in charge is a friend) and you can see the Flash radar thingy in the corner. That came from the original site and is very old, links to the wrong pages and has the wrong text anyway. I have compensated for its wrong URLs with redirects but the owner asked if I could update it.
Well, I have a new version in CS4 Flash (having spent several hours seeing if I could modify the original it became clear that a re-write was more sensible), and everything is fine - but the only thing I can't work out is how to scale up the whole image (and scale it back down when the user moves off it). The original code was this, which doesn't scale down even though the code looks like the original author meant it to:
I created a simple mouseover (like this one http:url... )with one small image that grows to a LARGER image directly on top of the smaller image when mouse is OVER the smaller image. When user mouses OVER the smaller image the larger image appears correctly.Problem is that even when user mouses OVER the "boundries" of where the LARGER image WILL appear, that also causes larger image to appear. What I want is for the larger image to appear ONLY when mouse is OVER the smaller image.
Is there a way to dispatch an event after Flex loads an mx:image? I'm loading image externally and don't know the width/height until it's loaded. I get an exception when I call width/height to the image before loading.
I'v created a video. It has 4 layers. An image on each. the page is the same size as the images(all images are the same size). i've added motion to them so the pics move from top to bottom, no gaps in between. thats it. what i want is for the clip to only move when the mouse is placed over the clip, otherwise it shouldn't move.
I have a actionscript "Sprite" class which load a transparent png. When i set a "mouseover" event over the Script, it is throw when the mouse goes over the "square" containing the transparent png. I would like a glow effect to be displayed on mouseover, but only when the mouse is on the displayable part of my transparent .png. How can i do to throw the event only when the mouse is not over the transparent part of the png? Do i have to check by myself in the mouseover handler then do what i have to do?
The mouseOver event doesn't work should be pretty basic but... y'know it's flash and that which should be simple is usually a PIA when you're an actionscript beginner
How do you disable only the MOUSE_OVER event for a an instance of the Button class in AS 3? MyButton.Mouse_OVER = null ; Will not work as it is not a writable property. MyButton.enabled = false Will not work as that disables the entire Button and that is not what I want.
What I've got is a clip that when moused over expands down, and when moused out contracts back up again...simple right.
The problem I've got is that as soon as I place a child inside the expanding clip (which is another expanding and contracting clip). the listener gets blocked by its child making it contact before it should. This sounds a little confusing, but will make alot more sense when viewing my code here...
Code: import com.greensock.*; import com.greensock.easing.*; var section1:Section1 = new Section1();
[Code]....
By the way I will be putting buttons inside the clips eventually, so disabling the clips contents is a no go.
This reads a php file (which in turn reads a database) and returns a series of years that have content hidden behind them. then the years are placed into a dynamic textbox within a movieclip (yearmarker = "yearmarker"+i).
This all works fine. My trouble is i can't figure out how to add an OnRollOver event to each dynamically added clip telling it to go to its second frame.
What seems to happen is as soon as the cursor goes over any of the MovieClips that are inside of the expandable button the MouseOver event is getting cancelled. and the MouseOut event gets Called (I presume that it no longer thinks it is over the clip due to the call getting blocked by the content clips). This can be seen when the mouse goes over the text (which is a MovieClip inside the expanding button). I'm pretty sure this is to do with event propagation, and is probably quite straight forward to sort, but I'm just not sure where? here's my code...
I have imported a bunch of images from photoshop and I want the images to act as links -- similar to an image-map. Is there a way to have a mouseover apply only to an image within a movieclip instead of the entire movieclip? For example -- lets say I have a 45 degree line contained in a movieclip... I only want the line to receive mouseover events and not the whitespace of the bounding movieclip.
I am creating a thumnail bar having the thumnail of the images, it has the default visible thumbs of 7 images, while the others must be hidden on the right of the bar. I used the code in AS3 to add thumbs in to the bar, the first 7 were fine, but the others still appearred visible and cover the bar border.My thumbBar is simply a rectangle and what i really did was to thumbBar.addChild(thumb). But all the thumbs appeared visible, first 7 thumbs stayed inside the rectange but the others were outside.How can I make the others invisible and turn them visible only when i use with the MouseOver Event.
I am working on a simple flash project. In Scene 1 I have a large image above and a long scrolling image below which is a movieclip called image_slider. The Scrolling is set with actionscript 3.0 mouse over event listener. When the user moves the mouse right image_slider moves left, when mouse is left it moves right. It works very nicely. Now I wanted different parts of image_slider to change the large image above when they are clicked.
So I decided to do these actions as part of the image_slider movieclip. So I have added transparent buttons to the image_slider movie clip and added event listeners for them and functions to gotoandstop at different frames in Scene1. This works well.
My problem is that now the image_slider no longer moves freely. It does move, but as you can see it if your mouse stops moving the scrolling will stop at the next button. You have to move the mouse again to make it keep scrolling. I don't know why it has decided to do this. how to stop it from stopping at each button edge?
I have an swf with a few images on it, the images glow on mouseOver, and trigger an event when clicked.However, when I load that swf into another SWF, the click event works but the mouseOver doesnt glow.

Description:
I would like to know how I can make an image invisible until I hover the mouse over it. Once the image becomes visible how can I make an image behind it (on a different layer) rotate until I move the mouse away.
1. How do I make image invisible until I hover mouse over it?
2. Once image is displayed how do I make an image rotate 90 degrees behind it?
3. Once I move the mouse off, how do I make the button become invisible again, and the rotated image to be restored to it's original rotation.
I'm currently working on this website (http:uel...) and I created a little gallery. When you press the image it becomes the background of the website. Now this has some problems if the background is white and you look at the other pages again, you can't read the text any more.I would like it to be when you go back to another page, the background changes to it's original one. So basically I'm looking for the page (component?) load event or something alike, but I can't seem to find it.
CreationCompleted doesn't work for this, because when you navigate to it the second time it's already created, this the background doesn't change.I'm setting the background like this:
I have built an dynamic XML image scroller to load jpgs via an XML file and then populate a horizontal scroller with a mouseover effect and a mouseclick function that sends you to another url.Right now the mouseover function fades the image alpha, but I want it to also add a text label dynamically grabbed from the XML file.Here is the code for the mouseover function:
I have a button, and i have an image (converted to a movieclip)The effect i want to achieve is for when someone hovers over the button (not the MC) the image (MC) expands from the button, then when the mouse is taken off the button, the image retracts and then vanishes.
I'm working on an image gallery using a mouseOver to scroll the thumbnails. How can I limit the area affected by the mouseOver as at the moment it scrolls wherever the cursor is on the page.
I want to do a image slide show using flash MX. I need a help I Just the image to scroll, But i don't know
1. how to stop the Image scrolling on Mouseover. 2. On clicking on a particular image a new webpage must be displayed. 3. how to made a multiple images to scroll one by one
just been trying to fade one image into another on mouse over. found a .fla template which does it for me and have applied my images to it. works how i want it to - image 1 fades into image 2 on mouse over, then goes back to image 1 when mouse moves off BUT the problem is that when the mouse is over the image and it fades into image 2 it begins to flicker - see for yourself in the .fla file here - [URL] i think this is all of the code from the different layers
I'm trying to tween six Movieclip (using TweenLite) in an Array to where they scale up when pressed. When another is pressed it scales up and the others will scale down. I'm having trouble getting them to do this consistently. This is probably a minor fix for most of you, but I have been tackling this for two days.[code]
