I am a Trainee Web Designer. I have done a few major projects for websites and stuff using alot of Adobe Programs but i have this job where i need to make a map of a school with rollover mouse effects. So when the mouse rolls over the Admin Building on the map, a large picture of the Admin Building comes up. Then when the mouse is moved away the images closes. I need to do that with about 8 images. I have one main image which is an arial of the school, then there is different sections that i need to make 'active'
How can i go about doing this? i have looked for tutorials for ages now but they are either outdated or too advanced for me, i just need a tutorial that can show me how to achieve my goal. i cotton onto things very quickly so i dont get lost unless things get too advanced or there is a lack of explanation.
I just acquired Flash, well CS4, I work with film and text and intend to develop a website to showcase my work, as they say. But I would like to make a stand-alone interactive piece that can be stored and created on a desktop then played, via external hard-drive or whatever (most likely a large piece of work, nore than a few gig) on someone else`s laptop; ie, not a website, just yet, but simply an interactive presentation that allows users to access film and text pieces from different menus; a media scrap-book if you like; a stand-alone box of ideas; there must be a way of doing this, rather than having everything in folders ready to show; does Flash have this capability? I know Director did.
I'm interested in learning how to create a "3d" object that a user can interact with using their mouse. I've taken 60+ pictures of a camera rotating by 5 degree increments and I'm trying to put together something similar to what Verizon has on their website for phones - Where your mouse rolls over an object and rotates it.
I've seen this done with Java as well, but I'm interested in how flash does it.
I'm using CS5 actionscript 2. I would like to create hovering text when one mouses over an item in the navigation window (please see pic). You know, something that would act like a brief abstract to give the user more info re: whether or not they need to click on that link.At present, the nav_mc is linked to an xml doc FYI (the nav_mc accordians in and out, but doesn't have to). I input what I want the menu and submenu to say in the xml nodes and it shows up. It would be cool if the hover text added could also be xml driven tooI am green to this so the more detail the better. Do I need to create a new xml doc? new .swf? How do I link this? Should I use Flash Builder or Catalyst?
What I want to create is a group of 13 images and upon rollover each image would make a different sound. I don't want the sound to stop once you move the mouse though because I want a few different sounds playing at the same time. At this point I don't really care whether they play for their whole duration or just for another 15 seconds! I'm doing this for Uni and the guy said it wasn't that hard.
I have some basic knowledge in HTML code, but I am a complete newbie to flash. I've downloaded Flash C5 and that's about as far as I've got! I'm not entirely sure which template if any I would need to use. I can't pay back in knowledge since I don't know anything, but I could bake you cookies?!
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"); }
The title pretty much sums up what I am trying to do: I haven't started digging into using script in Flash yet, still being very much a beginner.
I created a simple file using movie clips nested in buttons so that when I mouseover a letter, it bobs up and down, but I can't work out how to make it return to its original "up" state *smoothly* when the mouse is moved away. If it must involve script please be aware I am a total noob!
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.
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?
If I have 10 pictures and have a box to show 5 pictures which will move to the right side. Is it difficult to write a script to loop to showcase those pictures inside the box endlessly.
The order of image is like this img10 img1 img2 img3 img4 img5 img6 img7 img8 img9 img10 img1 img2 img3 img4........
Is there a nice way to integrate several air apps into one Showcase Application, without having to modify the original Air App Code to fit into the Showcase ?Without necessary modifcations it would be possible to easy update the containtng app.
have created this really cool mouse follower that changes colors, I 've done this in AS3 and now I'm at a total loss as to how to get it to work with my website.
I would like to make a mouse-over effect on an object. The mouse-over effect should work like this: when the mouse cursor is dragged over the object it should glow, but if the mouse cursor remains over the object it should still glow, but another mouse over effect should occur, showing an info box for the object. Until now I have just made the object as a button, and in the "over" box I have made the object glow, by defining it as a movie clip. However, this only works for the glow part. How do I add another mouse-over effect (which is delayed 1 sec) to the same object?
I trained on flashMX back in the day and haven't done anything since so now I've got CS5 it's a bit like being at school again! I have a circular dial sat in the middle of the screen with an arrow placed on it's edge. How do I get the dial to rotate so it always faces the mouse pointer?
i have project in which there is a number of button that work onRollOver by is the mouse is down it doesnt work.
i setup the AS in a very stupid way putting each script on a separate button rather then in the timeline so im looking for a easy fix here, really dont want to change over 300 buttons manually :S
AS in each button just different instance name for each:
on (rollOver) { tellTarget (c5) { _visible = false;
I have been trying to do something in Flash that I thought would be easy. I have created a movie clip with several frames and have tried to add a MouseOver MouseOut rollover to change from frame 1 to frame 2 whenever you roll over the movie clip. It doesn't work. It doesn't even seem to recognise any actionscript whatsoever within the flash file.If I change the movieclip to a button then suddenly everything does work as I want it to.
I have one circle mc, when i roll over the Circle it will show the content of the circle .. this part is working fine. but inside of the content i have one link . i am not able to select the inside of the link.
I like the mouse cursor to change to another object (like zoom lens) when rollover a certain area.but only for this area, when rollout of this area the cursor should be as per normal.[code]...
but that means the cursor have to change to a new object throughout the flash.
what i want is for the cursor to change just only on one area and the rest remain as usual.
I have a lengthy text running in flash movie. I want the movie clip to be stopped (meaning pause) when the mouse roll over on it to read the content... and when the mouse roll out from the movie it should be played continuously. ( not from the beginning. ) how to write the code snippets?
I'm tring to create a menu system for the cue points of an flv video chapters, the idea is it will appear over an flvplayback component when a menu button is pressed. The menu button itself appears when a trigger movieclip is rolled over. Now I have all the basics working, but my trouble is that the trigger movieclip is blocking the mouse events of the carousel. If I change the order of the movieclips so that the carousel is on top I get the carousel mouse events but only get mouse events of some of the area of the trigger movieclip.[code]...
I'm having a weird thing happen. I'm using the Tween class to move a child mc (slide_mc )of the button called jump_btn. slide_mc is supposed to move from left to right on rollover, then right to left upon rollout. They seem to work pretty good. The issue I'm getting is when the user is NOT over the button; you'll see the rollover tween (_jump1_twn) get triggered. Again, the mouse is not over the button and is still. How can I get this to stop happening? slide_mc then gets locked to the right until the user rolls over the button. Am I having this problem because Im using the Tween class to move objects I constucted manually?
jump_btn = mc I created manually then had exported for actionscript.slide_mc = a child mc of jump_btn (the issue is with its movement getting triggered at the wrong time)jumpFakeBtn = mc I created manually then had exported for actionscript.
