Professional :: Button Rollover Effect With ClickTag?
Jul 18, 2011
I am making a Flash ad for my company. I am a beginner/intermediate Flash user. I need to add a clickTag, which is done. The issue is that I want the button to "shimmer" when it is rolled over. I cannot figure out how to make this work with the clickTag having to be the topmost layer in the file.
This is what I have so far:
shinyButton.onRollOver = function() { this.glitter.play();};clicktag_but.onPress = function(){ getURL(_root.clickTAG, "_blank");};
Currently I have retangular jpegs that are converted to linked buttons. The reason I made these buttons as jpegs is b/c I wanted to use this really cool font that most computers wouldn't readily have. Its working just fine but I wish to have a underline effect when the mouse is rolled over. I looked under the properties of the button but it does not have that option...is it possible to do that in the timeline?
Should I replace that non-underlined button with a jpeg that's been underlined when the keyframe is in the over position? I am using both dreamweaver and flash for the first time; all my content is a single flash swf file inside a box that is centered in the page in dreamweaver. I find the layout arrangement in Dw difficult somehow and Fl much easier to work with. This is the page I'm working on [URL].
I'm pretty new to Flash, and I want to create a button like these.I understand how to make a basic rollover button, but I haven't got a clue how to do animation like that.URL...
I'm not sure if this is being done through AS 2 or 3, or without code altogether. But, can anyone tell me how to create the rollover effect seen on this site (left hand side menu)?:[URL] I'm working in AS2, as I am not very familiar with AS3. I was thinking the effect might be created with a mask or some kind, but really not sure.
I have made a couple of 'advanced rollovers' if you will, yet one thing is annoying me about them! When you roll over the button it looks great, yet as soon as your mouse goes off the hit area, it just suddenly shoots straight back to frame 1 of the movie clip , is there any way to animate a scene once the mouse has gone off the button, so it looks smooth when rolling over and when rolling off?
I've been working on the XML Thumbnail gallery tutorial posted up and I wanted to know if it's possible to make a complex rollover effect on an xml button? For example I would like to make this character { rotated 180 degrees above the button as a person highlights the button. How would I go about that.
I have created one static movieclip and in that movieclip i have created "i" dynamic movieclips.On the dynamically created movieclip i am loading swf(Swf consists of a Preloader and then image appears).All these swf values and link(url) values i get by parsing an xml string in the FLA itself...Now the problem starts here...There are links on these dynamically loaded swf's....And I have given static rollover effect on the swf by making image as a button..Now what happens is that i have written onRelease Function in code and in that i m getting link on images(SWF) using getURL in on EnterFrame function and i am not gettin the rollover effects that i have created in static.
I'm currently working on a flashsite and are trying to figure out rollover menu buttons. The site has 6 menu buttons and are placed next to each other. I want to put a rollover action on the buttons, that when you rollover a button that the whole button image enlarges and moves in front of the other.
I have two buttons and an swf file (a movie I created in After Effects). I want to do the following:
-When the page loads I would like the swf file (the TV) the stay frozen on frame 1 (the picture of the child's face). -When the mouse is rolled-over the "Home" button, I want the swf file (the TV) to play frames 2-59, and loop on these frames until the mouse is rolled-off the "Home" button. -When the mouse rolls off of the "Home" button I want the swf file (the TV) to instantly go back to frame 1 and stay on frame 1 until the mouse rollsover another button.
If the mouse rolls over the "Products" button, I want the TV to loop frames 60-109, and again instantly go back to frame 1 when the mouse is rolled-off the "Products" button. I will use these buttons as a template, copy and paste them, so that I can easily make different segments of the TV play when different buttons are rolled-over. Please take a look at the fla file [URL]. The fla file is a little large (about 23 megs).
I created a button in Illustrator and imported to my Flash library. The button has drop shadows, overlay and gradients. It imports and previews just fine until I change it to a button. When I go to preview it, there are these thick red boxes that seems to incase every layer of the button?
I have a menu that when you click on a button, an external swf is called up. However I would like for the buttons in the Over and Down state to show an image on top of the external swf with a description of what the video is about (Basically when they rollover the button).
The problem is that the image shows behind the external swf. I cannot get it to appear on top of the external swf. I have tried putting the buttons layer on top of the actions layer but that doesn't work.
I'm basically looking to create some buttons that once 'rollover'd' grow slightly, and shrink again once 'rollout'd' and I am hoping to add a little bounce (or I believe its called elastic) once it snaps back. I am a beginner, but have created buttons before with rollover, rollout etc but arent sure how to create the motion of it growing in the button. (I am using Flash CS4 and was intending AS3, but happy to use whatever is recommended for this.) I did use this site tutorial [URL], but I wasn't sure which AS or CS it was using. Everything worked but the motion of the growing.
I have a button with a link to my hompeage. but I want to insert a clicktag, clicktarget to y link. How do I do that in Actionscript 3? Right now, my code, without clicktag, looks like this:
is it possible to ad a "button effect" (different state for "normal" and "hover") to an existing button without having to do it graphically but only with a script?
i ask this because i have a flash-gallery with hundrets of thumbinails in converted to buttons that recall a javascript to open the full image (lightbox) and it would be nice to add each button a nice "hover" effect (maybe they should look dark and become normal brightness when hovered) but i don't want to edit each single button ..
I want to rollover a button and have it trigger the rollover state of another button. The buttons overlap. The one on top is transparent and smaller than the bottom button. So far I think I have the AS3 to handle the rollover of the top button, but I don't know how to trigger the other button's rollover state.
I'm making an interactive map of the U.S. The layer with the outlines of the U.S. states sits on top. It has to sit on top because otherwise the outlines don't show up above the color fills for each state. I want a popup balloon to appear when you roll over each U.S. state. However, when I turn a state, say, New York, into a button, the button layer sits below the outline layer. So when I create the popup box for the button's rollover state, the popup box is *under* the US state outlines. How can I make the button rollover state exist on the highest layer?
I created a button that has a movieclip in the rollover state. When you rollover the mouse, the movieclip will animate to appear as if the button will scale from a small to a large button even though it is the movieclip that is playing and not the button itself. But I also want to add a keyboard code to play the rollover instead of the mouse. I learned to write actionscript to play different scenes with the code below, but I'm not sure if I can play a button rollover with the same code.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, key_pressed); function key_pressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void { if (event.charCode==49) { gotoAndPlay(1,"scene"); }
Is it possible to add a ClickTag for tracking purposes to dynamic text (hyperlink) in a scrollbar box in Flash CS5? I have ever only added a ClickTag to a button and/or banner before.
I was able to take an existing Flash file created in '06 and make a simple slideshow. See it at: [URL]. Now I've been asked to add buttons and make the slides fade instead of slide into each other. They want it like this: [URL]. So I created a very simple mock up: [URL]. I just can't get the buttons to work like the prosolassociates one above. I have attached the FLA here for review. Attachments: slideshow_buttons.fla.zip (9.0 K)
I am making flash with mouse over its not working properly, 1) When mouse over the button not come the transperant area to entire pic 2) How can transparent area slowely to come mouse out
I'm using actionscript 1.0 and 2.0 on flash Pro 8 and keep getting an error when I test the movie. Here is the error:
[Code]...
I've tried to create this rollover navigation...starting over 6 times already. Is there different language / coding for 1.0 and 2.0? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
The animation/rollover works well but it still abruptly stops when I rollover another button. The link below is an example on what I want to accomplish.
Can some one show me how to repeat a on rollover effect.currently i am creating tweened scroller i can get the advance button to play. but the back button only goes one pixel at a time.the advance button is scripted liek this
on (rolloer){ this.bar.play(); }
the previous button is like this need this part to loop until the end of the tween
I am just learning Flash and ActionScript and I am having a tough time with AS syntax. I am trying to create a rollover navigation effect similar to that of Gnomon School.
I am having trouble with a piece of code that I used to implement for all of my buttons in Actionscript 2.0. What I need help with is creating a similar effect in AS 3 (see code at bottom of post).
I prefer this code because when a visitor rolls off of the button before it is finished with the rollover animation, it will rewind the animation and give it a smooth rollout effect (instead of an abrupt stop to the rollover effect to play the roll out effect).
[Code]...
My timeline would be setup like this: I set up the rollover effect only, putting stop(); code in the keyframe at the beginning and end of animation. Because of the rewind (prevFrame()) effect it would use the same animation to rewind for the rollout effect.
I would like to do something like the menu on the left hand side of this page: [URL] I am after the effect where the color fades in when rolled over and fades out when the mouse leaves the area.
I am creating some buttons for a menu, and am using movie clips so that I can have a multi-frame effect on them when you roll over them. The buttons are flowers that bloom on rollover, and I only want them to play once- so the first time you roll over them they bloom, and then they stay in that state as long as you're on the page.
So far I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. I can create the animated rollover effect, but the next time I rollover them, it plays again from frame 1. I've tried using a variable that increases by one every time you roll over it, and then if it's greater than 0 it doesn't play, but I don't know how to set it to 0 at the beginning without it setting to 0 every time you roll over it.
