I currently have a flash file that has a whole bunch of buttons that are MC's with rollover and out states that open up a PDF when clicked.For each number (12-33) I have the MC with a new instance name and I am calling them with the following code:[code]So for each button I have this huge mess of code. There has to be a cleaner and more efficient way of doing this. Can you guys suggest anything?

My problem that I'm having is I am trying to build a menu consisting 3 buttons, side by side that open and reveal subnavigation buttons on rollover. Then on rollout of the main container button, they close back to where they were. I have built the buttons and everything works great, the only problem is that on rollover of the internal buttons, the main button senses this as a roll out and plays the rollout animation event (closes the button). How can I make the main button not sense the rollovers of the internal buttons and only play the rollout event on rollout of the main button?

View 4 RepliesI am trying to make a group or rollovers that display larger versions on images when you rollover their thumbnails. The problem is since everythign is in layers the bottom layers rollovers show up undernieth the other thumbnails. My whole website design is based on this and I want to avoid writing code for each individual rollover. Is there a way I can make it so all the rollovers apear over all teh other buttons?
View 4 RepliesOn the stage I have 3 objects on the stage which are on top of each other:
top: transparent button (which controls the mc underneath)
under this button: an image which is a mc
under this image: a graphic background with text that describes the image, and a new trans button which will send the users to a separate url.
Problem:The button to go to the url does not work.
To make things simply, I have the top button setting the alpha of the mc to 0% onRollover, in order to view the text. And reset it to 100% on RollOut.
how I can still get this effect with the rollovers, and get my url button to work too?
I have a bbq grill animated in flash that opens and closes on rollover and rollout. When the grill opens there are hamburgers and hotdogs. When you rollover the hamburgers and hotdogs a hover menu opens but this causes the grill lid to close because the hover menu is being triggered by the rollover from another button.

The problem I'm having is when you mouse out from one diamond to another, the menu doesn't always go back to normal. I guess it's because of the way my movie clips are positioned... If one clip on top of the other, the rollOut function doesn't work on the bottom element. If that makes sense. Probably best to just download my Flash file to see how it's set up:

how to set this menu up so it always fades back to normal when a diamond has been moused out? I've tried setting up rollOut functions on different buttons and can't get it to work...
I have an input text field with a movie clip behind it. When you roll over the movie clip it scales up, when you roll out, it scales down.problem is, rolling over the textfield triggers rollOut. which i dont want.
View 7 RepliesSo I'm actually doing something very simple here, but it's my first attempt at tweening things through code rather than on the timeline, so I'm pretty new at this. Basically I have a small image gallery, all the thumbnails are butted up against one another in a grid. When you roll over an image, the title should tween to reveal itself below the image. I have it set up so that both the image and title are in one movie clip, with the image on the top layer.
My code does work when you move your mouse slowly, however when you roll over and out really fast, the whole thing freaks out a little, and the titles don't tween back properly, they actually stay exposed even though they shouldn't. It looks like they kind of tween back, then pop out again, with out a tween. I linked to my current swf file so you can see for yourself. [URL].
Here is an example of my code which is iterated for every image.
MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,onMC);
MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,offMC);
var myTween:Tween;
MC.buttonMode = true;
function onMC(event:MouseEvent):void{
myTween = new Tween (MC.title,"y",Strong.easeOut,94.5,138,.65,true);
} function offMC(event:MouseEvent):void{
myTween = new Tween (MC.title,"y",Strong.easeIn,138,94.5,.35,true);
}

As you can see the head moves to 4 different levels...
On the left in each on of those levels i want there to button one with there own rollovers
I would make them all one... but i want the head to move regardless of whether you're over the button...
PROBLEM: when you go over the button the roll over to move the head stops working and the head moves back to the original position
So how do define a overlapping hit areas
I am curious on how I can add springs into a basic motion tween for something like menus.
I checked out Kirupa's small tutorial but that is a constant, not something like rollovers. The basic idea is much like lots of other sites, I just want to add a little less ridged feedback from my menus.
Is it possible to have 2 images one for the menu and one for rollovers and have actionscript determine which buttons I rollover? For example - I have a menu that I created in a graphics program with a background color, 7 buttons (HOME, ABOUT, etc) with text, and separators. I also have a rollover graphic with a different background color with the same 7 buttons with text, and separators.
Is it possible with actionscript, say I rollover HOME and it displays the rollover graphic but only over HOME and the same for the other buttons? I thought it would be easier using two images instead of separating the buttons etc.
Why are my dynamic RollOvers and RollOuts getting stuck?If you want to download the files go to URL...[code]
View 1 RepliesI have tried out on the advanced roolover buttons in this tutorial [URL]. But the problem now is tat I have a button a red crab when I rollover it it will become a crab grey button. I have 2 separate buttons for the crab. While basically the grey crab button's animation lies in the same movie clip as the word tween. So what I want is when I roll over the red crab it will display the grey crab, and when i roll out the grey crab will fade away to the red crab. And also when I clicked on the grey crab when the mouse is hovering over it it will open up another movie clip. There's also some mistake with the grey crab it only seem to be working when it is in graphic but want I want is a button. I can't assign ant actionscript codes to it if it only works in a button.
View 1 RepliesI recently came across Lava Lamp's website, very interesting. I am curious if anyone can point me in the direction for creating rollovers employing this same style they are using. I can see that it is comprised of movies for the rollover and rollout. However, when I try to create the rollout state things just don't work. I have tried using the advanced rollover tutorial on this site but when I try to recreate it using a shape I just doesn't work.
Can anyone point me to a source for recreating this type of rollover?
Basically what I have is a page in Flash AS2 and on the page I have 16 photos. Instead of clicking on each photo, taking you to another page, etc., I wanted to make it so that when you rollover the photo, the photo enlarges. This is easy. I have done this to all 16 photos, however, there's a catch. Whenever you roll over the first one, it looks great and is on the top, however, when you rollover the second photo, the image is now on top of all the thumbnail photos except the first one. Make sense? So basically the first thumbnail is covering the enlarged rollover of the second photo. Is there anyway to make all of the rollover images are placed on "top" of all the other photos? I have tried to arrange them, but it doesn't work like you would think. If you go into the rollover photo and arrange it to the front, it's as if the rollover and the thumbnail are the same picture (which I guess they are).

View 3 RepliesI have a button that I want to have trigger a rollover effect when rolled over, and when clicked trigger something. I am changing the background image of the whole Flash movie. On Rollover I want it to give you a preview, and on click, I want it to goto a frame in a movieClip where that image is. Here is a pic of my timeline:For instance. I want my first button, "button1" (which is outside of this movieClip on the main timeline) to do the following:When rolled over, it needs to go to the "btn_over" frame label When Rolled out to go to the "btn_out" frame label.And when Clicked to go to frame 2.Currently My button is a movieClip symbol, because I will be doing some simple animations to it. Here is the code I have on my first button: This makes the click work. (and it does work, just not when paired with the second function for the rollover)[code]Does anyone know why the second function is overpowering the first? Or a way I can get the effect I am looking for.
View 2 RepliesI'm creating an interactive that consists of 3 maps, each on its own tab. On each map, there are various circles representing data for a particular city.I want the circles to display a pop-up containing text when you roll over each one. Since I don't want the plain old buttons, I'm using 2-frame movie-clips, where the second frame represents the mouse-over state and a text box fades in as follows:
[Code]...
This all works fine, and I can get multiple buttons working on the first tab (frame 1) by grouping them all into a movie clip, as follows:
[Code]...
The problem is when I try to use the same or a similar with a different set of buttons on the second tab (frame 15). I put a similar set of actionscript on frame 15. The buttons seem to accept the buttonMode = true command, but I absolutely cannot get the rollovers to display. I've tried using different function names for the MOUSE_OVER and _OUT events, to no avail. I get no errors and nothing shows up in Output -- it just acts as if there's no rollover to display.Do I need to somehow put all the AS on Frame 1? Is it an issue related to ENTER_FRAME in the rollovers?

I just started with AS3 and i have a problem with conditionals. I have 3 buttons which animate on RollOver and they animated on RollOut. But i wanna prevent that when 1 button is active the others can be activated as well, though i can't get it to work properly.
This is my code,
Code: Select allvar buttonReady = true;
function move_to_top() {
parent.setChildIndex(this, parent.numChildren-1);
buttonReady = false;
[Code].....
What this is supposed to do is when you RollOver it sets the var buttonReady to false and when the RollOut is done it sets the var buttonReady to true.
I traced this in every step of the progress and the var is adjusting to true and false though it looks like it's ignoring the if statement.
I have some buttons on a page that I'd like to fade from white to orange. However, if you rollout before the entire fading MovieClip plays, it jumps to the out state. I'd like to have it gently fade out, from whatever point you are in the mC, for a more natural looking rollout. I know this is possible, but I can't seem to code it correctly.

I'm trying to create tool tip rollovers for buttons, a little bubbled message that pops up and follows the cursor while the cursor is ontop of a button. Kinda like the tooltips in windows, instead it moves. Hope that makes sense. the problem i'm having is creating a loop within the rollOver event so that the x/y co-ords for my tooltip movieclip updates each time the mouse moves is there any other way of doing this? here's what i have so far
[Code]...
the problem with what i have now is that the tooltip movieclip doesnt continue to move along with the cursor while on rollOver
For the life of me, I cannot get any rollovers to work with the images that have been loaded from XML. I can target them and set the _alpha and whatnot, but rollover/out/press functions don't seem to work :[ I've tried many different ways... does anyone see what's wrong?

I have been developing an interactive map, part of that has buildings, each is separate movie clip. Each needs to have a bit of stuff happen onrollover and stop onrollout. I have that all working if I code each building separate. Instead of having 60-80 nearly identical blocks of code, is there a way I can consolidate this down to less code. for instance, instead of declaring the name and path of the button I'm rolling over, is there a way for flash to figure that out by getting the name of the current movieclip the mouse is over and then sticking that in the code? here is the code as it is right now:
Code:
var tt2:TooltipBuilding = new TooltipBuilding(0x660000, 0x000000, 0xFFFFFF);
_root.mainMap.mainMap.cateteachingcenter.onRollOver = function() {
