Professional :: Make The Button Rollover State Exist On The Highest Layer?
Apr 29, 2008
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 need to add a rollover effect to the disabled state of a Spark button. This way, users can rollover the button and know why the button is disabled.I think I would have to override ButtonBase's getCurrentSkinState. Is there anyway to test if a mouse cursor is over a disabled 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've been using the following code for a set of buttons that activates/deactivates the buttons so there is only one active button at a time:
[Code]....
I found this code here: [URL] I've been messing with this code for a couple days now and can't seem to figure out how to add a rollover state to this code, everything I try either glitches this code out or doesn't work... So at the moment it does half of what I want (makes it where there's only one active button at a time), what I want to do is to add a Rollover effect to the code above.

I have a navigation menu with the following code on the buttons, this works fine, you press one button, loads an external swf in movie clip holder and then when i press another button on the navigation, it loads an external swf into holder replacing the the last swf. The buttons have an rollover animation and when pressed have a static state ie you know that the button you pressed doesnt animate and you know what page you are on.
I have a another movieclip on the main stage, inside this, there is a scroller with thumbnail buttons, same code on the thumbnail buttons but on the time line in the movieclip. This too loads external swf into the movie clip holder.BUT doesnt turn off the static state in the main navigation button, so for example if i am in the home page the home page button is on.I press the another button on the navigation, and the home page button goes off and the new button stays on with new page loaded.I would like the code in the scroller to turn off the navigation button last pressed, so the thumbnail buttons, act like they are part of the navigation and not inside a movie clip..
var buttonNum:Number = 1;
for (i=1; i<=buttonNum; i++) {
this["button"+i].onRollOver = function() {[code]...

You can see that there are simple roll overs for the header (this is the middle part with the photo on it and the buttons on the right); you rollOver one and the photo changes.Never one to leave well-enough alone, the boss wants to add this wrench to the works:He's not sure that people will "get" that you can hover over the buttons and will never get to see the photo and message change. So he wants the photo/message to kind of rotate through on a loop, then have it so you can override the rotation by rollingOver the button. Ok, no problem.BUT I would like the button's rollOver effect to be seen with the cooresponding photo/message. This is what I can't figure out, without trying something hacky.

I'm in the process of building a Flash AS3 navigation for a client's website. The horizontal navigation has five main links, and a secondary navigation will drop down under three of them on rollover (this part isn't complete yet). The rollover and rollout states are animated: on rollover they gradually change color; on rollout they gradually change back to the original color.Well, I've finally gotten the code figured out (my first foray into AS3 after finally being comfortable with some things in AS2!). However, depending on how you move the mouse (i.e., if you move the mouse over the button too quickly), the rollover state remains on rollout and I can't figure out why. Can someone help? I also need to know how to designate an active state when the button is clicked (say, if you clicked on Projects, the Projects button would be highlighted (the rollover state) when you're on that page.The link to the in-progress navigation is located here: http:[url].... And this is the AS:
var homeLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("../index.htm");
var mySound:Sound = new clickSound();
home_mc.buttonMode = true;[code]......

I'm trying to highlight the current 'page' / movieclip by showing the onrollover state in navigation display/button.So the colour remains the onrollover state (in this case blue) while the particular movie clip/'page' is displaying. Changing when the user rolls over another button.I have two issues:1. I understand I have to place the button within a movieclip and have been experimenting with button '02' in the attached example.fla - however now I have done this the original action contained within the movieclip instance myScreen_mc is no longer working.

I want to have a button with a rollover state that is different that the out state. I got that part, but I also want to keep the rollover state active if clicked. I can think of a couple ways to do it but I'm certain there is an easier way to do it. I have about 8 buttons and when I click on on I want that to stay in the rollover state, then when I click on another one I want the first to go back to the out state and the new one that I clicked to go to the over state and stay there.

I have created this menu with 5 buttons. The script attached to these buttons tells a movie clip to play certain sections of the clip to create the mouse over mouse out effect. The problem is if I move the cursor away too quickly the rollOut does not happen and the button is left in rollOver state.

I'm trying to make buttons that involve a character pointing to indicate interaction.When a button is interacted with (mouse over or down) the character's arm points to that particular button. I separated his body, so that it remains constant on the main stage, no matter which button is being interacted with.The problem is, when the user is not mousing over or clicking down on any button, the character has no arms (since only his body remains constant)!How do I resolve this?The only thing I thought of so far is if there's any way to create an up button state that includes the arm (right now I have nothing for mouse up) THAT ENDS when the next button is interacted with. Is that possible? If I put the arm in the up state (in addition to mouse over and down) it stays when the interaction is over, which poses a problem when the user interacts with the next button (the character ends up with double the arms since each button introduces a different set of arms pointing towards that particular button).

I have a rectangular shaped button. When someone rolls over it, I want a text bubble to appear to the side of that button. The problem is, the mouse thinks it's over the button even if it's over the side bubble which does not exist in the "Up" state. How can I get the cursor to only detect a button ONLY if it's over any part of the "Up" state and not the "Over" state (which because of the side bubble is larger than the original "Up" state.)
Here is a screenshot of the two button states.[URL]... Even if the cursor rolls over the "Over" bubble (and not the Up state), the Over state still shows up.

Is there a way to make state transitions/animations of a fl.control states - button for example ?All I can do now is change the skin design and that's it, I can't animate between states like I can with Flash Builder skins. So is there a way to do that, any technique or I have to create a button component from scratch?

I have a flash map that contains 51 movieClips, one for each state.Sample instanceName for a state (Alabama) would be: S_01
I have a XML record that contains specific info for each state.<stateID>01</stateID
I am trying to link the stateID's in the XML record to the state movieClips that make up the map.var stateInstanceName = 'S_' + stateID;
I was just trying to do a simple trace command to see if I could pull the _width of each state clip to see if I was linked up:
trace(mapInstance.stateInstanceName._width)

I've created an image with a dozen irregular buttons. It all works perfectly. Now I want to edit my flash cs5 file in a way so that, when clicked upon one button, the last of the 4 states (the hitbox state) will remain visible until one clicks another button. Now its looping back to the fist state. Im sure there must be an easy way to do this, something with a stop code maybe?

I'm learning how to use flash CS5.5 and i'm unable to continue a lesson because my button editing seems to not work properly. -When i double click or right click and click edit on my button I go into the symbol edit screen, where i can see the basic button states "Up, Over, Down, & Hit" but when I try to change the appearence of the button in each state the color and any sort of editing done to it does not happen, it is red in the "up" keyframe and when i try to change it to gray in the "over" keyframe it stays red.
-I found that double clicking the button in the edit screen goes into another edit screen labled "symbol 1" and in there i can change the color of the button, but any edits in that screen remain ineffectuall to the actuall button on the main screen. I don't know what is wrong with it, or if I am missing something, i've tried in both action script 2 and 3 and both have the same results.

Within my flash file, some of the layers/objects go off of the sides of the document as I want them to. When I play the file within the test movie function within flash, the file plays fine and none of the layers that extend of the document cause problems(the samething happens when I play it in flash player). But when I open the file in a web broswer the layers that extended off the edges of the document show up. Is there anyway to get rid of this without having to redo the whole file? (ie, crop around the main document size, or set it to export only everything within the document and nothing that extends off of it?)
