MOUSE_OVER Event To Display An Invisible Movieclip?
Jul 20, 2009
I'm using a MOUSE_OVER event to display an invisible movieclip...so when user hovers mouse over movieclip it tweens from 0 alpha to 1 alpha. However, I'm having problems with it. The movieclip is a MusicPlayer, which contains other movie clips within it. When I move the mouse over the music player's background it appears....I then move the mouse over the Play button and briefly the MusicPlayer disappears then reappears. This happens every time I move the mouse to different elements of the MusicPlayer? It quickly flashes invisible, then becomes visible again and its a pretty annoying effect.
Are there any alternatives to the MOUSE_OVER event? I was thinking about maybe drawing a rectangle that covered the area of the music player but was separate to the music player, so whenever the mouse was within the rectangle's x and y coordinates the MusicPlayer would become visible.

I have a MovieClip of an bicycle, and I've attached and event listener for mouse clicks on that movieclip. The mouse clicks events are raised when I click on the bike, but I really want to be able to click somewhere in the entire region of the movieclip's rect (to make it easier for the audience this is for to be able to click).

first of all sorry for my english. I'll try to be precise. I have few movieclips, lets call their instance names mc1, mc2, mc3.they are not buttons, just movieclips. I also have dynamic text field with instance name "description".
and all I want is to have description text on that dynamic text field when I mouse_over them, like "this is mc1", or when mouse_over other: "this is mc2" etc.. I have this code, and it's not working.
ActionScript Code:
mc1.relatedText = "This is mc1";
mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, displayText);

I need to add in a mouse over event listener for an object, when I'm already over it. If my mouse leaves the object and comes back, then the listener works, but for some reason, when if I just move my mouse around over the object, it doesn't work. Hopefully that is enough to go on without posting code...

So I am making a basic Mouse_over/ mouse_out event, but if I pull the mouse off before the object reaches frame "box_big" then the mouse_out event will not activate.
Code: Select allstop();
//box wip
MainBox.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, Box_Expand);
MainBox.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, Box_Contract);

I'm trying to create a video player in AS3 that displays the player controls when the user hovers over the video, however I'm having a hard time getting the MOUSE_OVER event to fire. I've made sure that the video's index is at the top, so that's not the issue. Is there something I'm missing? Is there any reason why this event listener wouldn't work on a video object? video.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, doThis);

I have some lines that I am assigning actions to upon MOUSE_OVER
The problem is that they are relatively small and kind of finicky to get the mouse directly over. When the mouse_over event occurs, I am changing their color to indicate they've been selected.
Is there a way I can change how sensitive they are to the mouse over event (i.e. detect MOUSE_OVER within 10 pixels of each MC or something)?
Here's the code I am using to asign the listeners and then to create a MOUSE_OVER event.

I have some MovieClips with mouse linteners, but if I mouse out of a movieclip instantly on to another one the 2nd movieclips MOVE_OVER event doesn't fire. Is there a work arround for this? If you don't know what i'm talking about the flash can be found here [URL] Try mousing from one movieclip to another without hitting the background and the tooltip wont show up. I was thinking of finding the movieclip i'm over by looking at the x and y position of the mouse and comparing that to the x y and z of all the movieclips but i'm hoping theres an easier way.

I have a basic rollover function for my button, which seems to work, but whenever the mouse is moved to the right (but remaining inside the movieclip) the MOUSE_OUT function starts happening, and then when the mouse is stopped moving, the MOUSE_OVER code re-activates. I have no other movieclips in front of it, but it is masked using actionscript. I don't understand why it's doing this, because the mouse never goes outside the area of the movieclip, so the MOUSE_OUT function shouldn't activate. The movieclip doesn't change side or shape at all, it just changes colour.

I am attempting to have a text sentence slide out from behind and to the right of a company name. The company name is a movie clip and the sentence is a movieclip within a movieclip.On a mouse_over the sentence scrolls out from the right of the company name and then on a mouse_out the sentence scrolls back to the left behind the compnay name. This is working perfectly.Here's the trouble: after the sentence has scrolled back behind the company name and when the mouse is placed over the company name again, the sentence will not scroll out from behind the company name. The movieclip performs perfectly only one time and it won't repeat itself. I would like it to work everytime the mouse is placed over or removed from the company name. Perhaps you know why this is happening. Here is the code I am using on the main timeline. The inner movieclip has its own timeline for the sentence. It has a 60 frame tween on it with a stop() command on the first and sixtieth frame.

I have a square movieClip that expands into other movieClip options with a MOUSE_OVER. This works no problem. I drew an invisible rectangle underneath all of these options so that they would stay open when I moved the mouse towards them.
But when I try to code the first option to also work with MOUSE_OVERs and CLICKs it causes problems. At first when I tested the movie it looked fine until I tried to MOUSE_OVER the first new option - the new option produced no results. I think this was because the original invisible rectangle was on top of it.
So I changed the order of layers so the invisible rectangle was on bottom. Then as soon as I tried the new option, the entire original movieClip collapsed back to its original state. I assume that the area beneath the new option was being covered up, and thus my MOUSE_OVER (on the original movieClip) no longer registered.I then tried adding code to tell the original movieClip to also listen for a MOUSE_OVER on the new option. This worked - I could move the mouse over the new option and the original movieClip remained open, but the old problem of the new option not registerring occurred. I think my new code overrided what I wanted the new option to do.
I am confident that I could probably get this all to work if I simply opened the original movieClip with a CLICK instead of a MOUSE_OVER, but I'd rather keep using a MOUSE_OVER if there's a way to do it.
I realize that this is all a bit hard to follow, so to summarize - I want a single movieClip to animate, revealing new movieClips. I want to be able to animate these new movieClips (with MOUSE_OVERs and CLICKs), all while the original movieClip remains "open" in its MOUSE_OVER state/frame.

I have a movieclip that contains a textfield inside of it. This MovieClip has 2 frames, with the graphic changing colors in both frames and textfield staying the same.I have applied this code to it:
Actionscript Code:
btn.buttonMode = true;btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, pauseBtnOver, false, 0, true);btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, pauseBtnOut, false, 0, true);public static

I have a SCENE with 4 MOVIECLIPS near the bottom of the scene that when moused over I want them to scroll/animate upwards to reveal the full view of the movieclip which has a message on it. Very similar to www.sunchips.com. Please look at this and you'll know exactly what I'm trying to do.
In the main timeline I have the 4 movieclip properties set as BUTTON with instance names on each mc. The attached code is for the first button/mc. I want the mc to scroll up when you mouse over it then scroll down when you mouse out.
Here is the AS code that is on the last frame of the SCENE where it stops the intro animation.
I get this error message when I test the movie: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndPlay through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.

What I would like to do is have various MC's act as buttons so I can have animations in their various states. I have no problem controlling the MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT animations, but I want another animation to happen with the MOUSE_DOWN action, and at the same time I want to disable the button controls. When I call a myClip.mouseEnabled=false;, myClip plays on, instead of remaining at the frame it is at, like it did with AS2. One solution I found was to create a second mc and have it cover myClip, but the animation I'm using makes it unusable.

This is the third thread I've written for my current project (1st was answered perfectly, 2nd failed [but I still figured it out anyways]) but I'm not sure if there is a solution to this problem. I can't really explain my problem, so once again I've included a helpful animation to show you what I mean. Bear in mind that the pale-blue box represents the movie clip's borders, and those borders are usually changed to include the animation (instead of the borders moving with the animation, the borders get bigger).
For the animation problem, I've already got a solution: create an invisible movie clip that has the exact size and shape of the animated movie clip and make it follow the movie clip as it animates, and make the hitTest check the invisible movie clip instead of the animated one. As for the rotation problem, well, I don't know how to fix it. Is there a way to change that?

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 have a movie clip which has a dynamic mask applied to it to provide a scroll effect.
The mask is generated with the 'create blank movieclip' method.
So the mask is a movie clip over a movie clip.
I hunted for invisible text last night and found this link [URL]
which implies it's to do with the mask being on a layer, but from what I can gather from reading the AS, it's not it's on a new blank movie clip.
Also many other links I found all imply it's an issue with dynamic text and the font needs to be embeded, but the underlying text is not dynamic, it's static normal text which has been used in a movieclip to create animated rollover/out effects.
So why is the text missing when the content is scrolled into view?
If you hover over where the text is supose to be, the animation plays and the text becomes visible?
Also the arrow graphic next to the text which forms part of the animation does display; it's just the text portion which is invisible?

Is it possible to create a invisible mc with in 2 other invisible mc's and if so would there be any complications. Im trying to do something similar and it gets to the second layer but then doesnt want to load the third inv-mc. Like loading an external swf to a container mc then in that same mc have another external load and then another.

I have a MovieClip (call it base_mc) which is under a bunch of other MovieClips (call them subclips). The MovieClips on top are all mouseEnabled with MOUSE_OVER, CLICK, etc, event handlers. I want to capture the event of MOUSE_OVER (or ROLL_OVER) on the base_mc as well. Any time I am over one of the subclips I am also over the base_mc clip. How can I capture this event?
