View 5 RepliesI followed the hover caption tutorial but sometimes the hover caption goes out of the movie.How to make it stay inside the movie and a certain distance of the mouse?
View 9 RepliesI've done the Tutorial written here by Kirupa on how to display an hover captionTutorial It works perfectly in the stand alone movie.But i need to put this in another movie as external.When i do so, it doesn't work , actually 'cos it drag ALL the external movie and not only the item i want to do a Hover Effect.Why this??Maybe because it consider the command_root.x = 1 (and so on whenever there's _root)the root of the Main movie and not the one of the external??Must i correct all the code with level1 or there's another way??

View 8 Repliesi am trying to use the excellent hover caption effect in my movie. the buttons i want to put the captions on are inside a movie clip named mcRobot. so i tried to modify all the paths to go into the mc...but not working.
here is original code from tutorial and then the one i try. basically i put "mcRobot." before most of the paths where i think it should go.
does anyone have a version already modified to put into an mc?
original code:
b1.onRollOver = function() {
captionFN(true, "E-Mail!", this);
this.onRollOut = function() {
captionFN(false);
[Code].....
I followed the hover caption tutorial, everything worked, etc. What I want to do is experiment with different uses for the hover captions. I tried to put longer text inside the quotes ("something something blah blah blah" instead of "Portable Devices", etc), but it extends the yellow box way past the text, and if I try to make it multiple lines I get this error mesage:
[Code]...
My query is in respect to the tutorial posted on kirupa : [URL] Now :
1) If I want to add a line of caption ,the moviclip expands in a horizontal manner. So , if I write a big description , the caption movieclip occupies whole stage width. How can i make this movieclip exapand in a vertical fashion after a fixed no. of characters
2) Suppose a button which is inside a movieclip has been applied this function , the button action doesnt work !!!! only the hover caption appears. ( specifically the button on(release) action ) !! What is the possible solution.
I have a problem with a caption. When i load a picture, the picture goes in front of the caption. I tried a swapdepths between the 2 mc's but it seems not to work. Here's my code : You can also see the swf online here : [URL]
[Code]...
You'll see that i have also a problem with the pictures loaded. I place the pic ni the middle of the scene, but when i click the button, i can see the picture moving.
I'm using the kirupa fla source file for the hover caption URL...and have created an external movie file where I want the hover captions to appear to be loaded into the main movie swf. The hover captions don't work once this swf has been loaded but works as a standalone swf.
View 2 RepliesI want a movie clip to play upon mouse over. Much like: [URL]
The images hanging off the cloth line.
I tried putting a clip in the Hover state of a button but the clip stopped playing upon mouse out.
I've stumbled my way through making the animation that I want to play and have saved it as a swf. I've now started a new project, added a symbol to a stage and am trying to make it so that the movie clip I created will play when I hover over it.
I've tried making a button where I add the movie clip in the hover state, and it will play, but it just keeps repeating even though I have a stop (); at the end of the movie clip (the one I had created before in a different project). Also, the button is way too sensitive and the clip starts playing when my mouse is still pretty far away from it.
I've been told that I should be doing this with action script - telling it to play my clip on hover. I've tried copying so many pieces of code I've found online but none of it has worked. I've read somethings that said I should be making a button and adding the action script to the button and then others that say not, and then others that say it should be a movie clip.
I'm so frustrated at this point, I could really really use some help. How do I get my movie clip to play when I hover? Please be specific - does the thing that I am hovering on need to be a movie clip that I'm adding the script to or can it be a symbol? Do I need to add any script to the original movie clip I created?
I'm following along the "Hover Captions" tutorial on kirupa.com. everything works as it should, but I'm having a bit of a problem. I want to have the button that will be hovered over inside a movie clip. When I do this, though, that movie clip is moved around by my mouse.
View 1 RepliesI'm working up a flash file that will eventually be controlled by the Kinect. So I've hidden the mouse and put a startDrag on a custom cursor. The problem is that I can't get a reliable result for a hover/over state when the cursor is over a movieclip. It only registers the over state sometimes and when it does, it's very brief, even if you hold the cursor over it for a long time.The problem seems to have something to do with the drag or the enter frame listener. It's like it can't process fast enough to realize when it's over the buttons.

I am going to be working on a site that has various mechanical products for sale. The customer wants me to make a model and movie of each product to show how the product works. Here is an example product:
Flash Clip The problem I am having is, he wants the movie to only play when a user puts their mouse over the video. I attempted doing this with a mp4 file and it worked using jQuery, but only when in Chrome. Here is that link:
MP4 Clip I want these demos to be viewable by the largest possible audience, so I was trying to stay away from Flash (also because I don't know Flash very well if at all). Does anyone know of a way to get this video to work in other browsers like in the second example? If not, how can I achieve that same idea using Flash?
randomly perhaps. I would like to figure out a way to animate a movie clip so that it is slightly moving a little bit up and down and left and right. What is the easiest way to do this?
View 4 RepliesI've completed the Hover Caption tutorial at [URL] successfully. What I'd like to do in addition, is to resize the caption box to match the caption text's length.
I've tried giving the background box a name (box) and turning it into a button and then doing:
_root.caption.box._width = _root.caption.help.length * 8;
But the box never aligns with the text properly after that. don't know what methods to call in order to get the bottom corner of the text and bottom corner of the box and align them properly.
I have an audio slide show and I need to add caption and on off button to show and hide the caption. how can I make on and off button to show the caption?and is it possible to add caption on my audio (not video) using actionscript 3.0?

I've been trying to load xml data into a movie clip that's 2 levels into the main timeline, and it's not working....
If movie clip is it the main timeline everything works fine.
I'm assuming that xml only loads into the main timeframe, and that's the problem, but I'm not sure....
How to pass the XML object created in main timeline into a 2nd level movie clip?
I have movie clip A and move clip B (in the root). Move clip A load data form external swf. The swf also load data from xml (the data is xml file name) till here work perfectly.What I want is, to pass the xml file name from the move clip A swf to movie clip B on button click. What Movie clip B do is load the xml file passed from the move clip A swf.

I followed a tutorial about using the XML connector component, that has to do with loading text into a text area for example�.everything works great!...but I keep wondering is it all possible for the data �text� that is coming from the XML file to trigger a movie clip that�s placed on the stage already�or library�.or change visibility� or play this or that movie clip?..
EG..
Heres the XML stuff
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<DATA>
<STATUS>0</STATUS>
the status part only changes between 2 numbers..0 and 1�.is it possible to make those numbers in the XML trigger a movie clip to play or show itself?
EG.. If 0 is found in the XML file movie clip 0 would play/showitself� is 1 is found in the XML file movie clip 1 would play/showitself?
i found an example online where bombs falling from the sky remove circles from a grass field, and a moving character can interact with the newly made circles(go into them). i dissected the code to the point where the only thing that happens now is that you click on the field and remove a circle:
PHP Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.geom.Point;
[code]....
and now im trying to figure out if i can use this code on a movie clip already on the stage, instead of a bitmap in the library
does anyone know how?
In the movie clip im doing i have few animation and transitions in movie clips. When some movie clips are click the open a text information and that text is the dynamic text that i want to load the xml file that havethe information to be displayed.[code]...
How ever if i place the dynamic text on the root and this code it does work. The issue here is that i need it to load when the movie clip of the text is loaded in the scene. i heard something about specifying inside the xml object the movie clip name but i couldn't understand a thing the guy tried to explain.
I can send the source files if needed to undestand more. the preview of the page is in here[url]...When you click the MRI image a text field will appear saying loading... that where the xml file should load.
I got a flash file which reads xml data and based on total data I need to duplicate movie clips and show them horizontally. Till now i have read the data and displayed it but dont have idea how to display them horizontally.

I have done this till now, it duplicates the movie clip but when i want it to change its x coordinate it shows error
**Error** Symbol=mc_contentHolder, layer=Action, frame=1, Line 20: There is no property with the name 'x'.
newClip.x = 328;

I found something when I create bitmap data cache for each frame of a movie clip:I got a movie clip, instead of presenting it immediatly on stage, I created a bitmap data array to store each frame of it, so I'm doing:
var body:MovieClip; // some mc for body
var suit:MovieClip; // some mc for suit, frame count is the same as body mc
body["part"].addChild(suit); // it's a avatar, there's a sprite named "part" on body mc to contain suit mc
[Code]....
if i present the original body moive clip, everything is ok, but when I use cache, it begins to tremble, this is because the getBounds() method of movieclip returns different rectangle when mc is cached and mc is presented on stage. I tried trace out every getBounds() when caching and when Event.FRAME_CONSTRUCTED fire, they're different, making my cache crash!
I assum MovieClip class do not refresh until it's present to stage or some time in on frame, how can I get the real boundary of it if I need to cache it?
