I have a simple graphic in Scene One which when you mouse over it, it changes to Scene Two where there are several round buttons that people can navigate with. What I want is that when the mouse is dragged away from the stage where the buttons are in Scene Two, you are taken back to Scene one. I can't seem to work this out. I only to want to go back to Scene One when the mouse is completely out of the SWF.
I made another button and made a square hit point that covers the stage and put that on the level above the other round button levels but this then doesn't allow you to activate and click the buttons underneath the square button. I just want a rollOut when the mouse comes completely off the SWF back to Scene One. Am I missing something?
I don't have an incredible amount of experience with flash, but I feel like I'm missing something really obvious here. I have about 10 buttons here (although I only show two in my code), and rather than listing out long lines of code, I figured it should be relatively straightforward to put it in a for loop...but its not working for whatever reason.
I am practicing AS3 (after years of AS2) and am having trouble having a button inside a movie clip talk to another movie clip on the main timeline. Here is the code:
OneButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, OneButtonClicked); function OneButtonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void { MovieTarget.gotoAndStop(1);
[Code]....
The code above works, but if I put OneButton and TwoButton inside a movie clip, I know longer can target MovieTarget and MovieDescription. The reason I want to put OneButton and TwoButton inside it's own MC is so I can dim each button after it is clicked by toggling the playhead inside that MC.
I would like to have a button animate on roll out, so if it fades to a color on mouse over it fades back on roll out. I understand you cant achieve this by putting action script on the button (well maybe you can) but is best achieved by placing action script on the frame and giving the button names etc.
I created a simple flash movie for a client that loops 3 times. At the end of each revolution i want to add a button that will pause the main movie action and reveal a small pop-up for legal copy when the user rolls over it, then re-start the movie again once they roll off it - however, it will only do this when the user interacts with the button, if they don't touch it, the movie will continue through the 3 loops unimpeded. Side note: I cannot use pause and play buttons, it needs to be a simple rollover/rollout function.
I'm working on a flash 8 portfolio and using the TWEEN class. First I create 5 buttons: Code: for (i=0;i<5;i++) { var button:MovieClip = this.attachMovie("PButton", "button"+i, i);
I load different image for each button and then I create some rollover effects: Code: button.onRollOver=function() { var tweenin=new Tween(this, "_width", Elastic.easeOut, 103, 203, 20, false); new Tween(this, "_height", Elastic.easeOut, 75, 198, 20, false); [Code] .....
This works only half the time. Sometimes, a tween is'nt finished correctly. I have a feeling this has something to do with the fact that while (elastic) tweening, my rollover and rollout are fired again (without moving the mouse). Any general solution for size tweening?
I have an mp3 player that sits off stage. There's a tab sticking out for it. When you moust over this tab (which is inside the mp3 player mc) I need the player mc to gotoAndPlay("over"); which is the player animating onto the stage. Then when you rollOut it will gotoAndPlay("out"); Which is the player animating back off stage. Now I can do all of this easy, but then none of the buttons inside the mp3 player mc don't work because flash thinks the whole movieclip is one big button.
I have a button that looks like this: [URL] so when you rollover, it plays an animation, and when you rollout, it plays the exit animation. And if you rollout before the the enter animation is over, it will jump straight to the exit animation. the swf right there works perfectly, exactly how i want it, so i popped it in as2 and it will not function, so I decided to come here, I need to know how to do this is as3. how can i make this work in cs3?
I have the following code to control the rollOver, rollOut and release states from my buttons (btn_company, btn_products, btn_services and btn_enquiry):
Code: for (var i in this) { if (this[i]._name.substr(0, 4) == "btn_") {[code]...
I also have 4 movieclips (title_company, title_products, title_services and title_enquiry) which I also want to control with those buttons. When btn_company is pressed, title_company should go to frame 2, When after that btn_products is pressed title-products should go to frame 2 and title-company should go back to frame one.
I'm using the code bellow to change the color of button on rollover and rollout. Tried to disable the button using mouseEnabled = false, but when rollout, the button changes color, instead of keeping it's rollover state.
Code: stop(); import com.greensock.*; import com.greensock.easing.*; //leave button1 as clicked when starting the movie.
[code]....
in short, when a button is rollover, it has to change its tint to "blue", when rollout, change to "null", when clicked should remain in "blue state", and restore the previous clicked button to "null state color".
I have been trying to build a navigation that has a rollout animation but functioning internal buttons. This navigation uses the theory I'm trying to recreate, it seems simple enough but I can't figure it out for the life of me![URL] I tried this variable, but it renders the internal buttons undetectable and is very unstable midanimation (if you rollover it while in transit, the button goes crazy):
Take a look at the following sites; and notice their menus. Both have a rollover and rollout on their buttons, and when the button is hit the button stays down until another button is pressed. In the scissor sisters site, the neon bar still fades out after another has been pressed.

I am trying to achieve this myself with my own site, which you can view in progess here:

I have mastered the button rollOver and rollOut effect, in which i gathered the code from a kirupa tutorial. My problem is, getting the neon bar to stay underneath teh last button that has been pressed.The main movie is located on the main timeline in frame 2, because frame 1 contains the pre loader.
The actions for frame 2 of the main timeline are:
Code: stop(); movieLoader.loadMovie("news.swf"); total = movieLoader.getBytesTotal(); loads = movieLoader.getBytesLoaded();
[code]....
Now the buttons are not buttons, they are movieclips, which are located on the stage, and have instance names of b1 for news, b2 for biography etc etcInside the movieclip, the animation of the neon bar fading in takes 25 frames, and this has a stop action on the end.
I started working on a little page of mine, and I already ran into some trouble hehe. I'm kind of learning as I go along. Heres the script I'm having some trouble with:
ActionScript Code: this.qmbacking.onRollOver = function() { //tweens rolling in the menu
how I can make Flash buttons with rollover/rollout behaviors like News Today? (Ex. Refresh, Find, Broadcast) [URL] Instead, I have crappy buttons that stay on the rollover state if the cursor rolls over them too quickly. I need 'em to go back to the initial state if rollout occurs. My crappy buttons: [URL]
i try to put a sound when the button is clicked or roll over on design .
Here is how i do it
i put extra layer then put my sound on OVER frame and DOWN frame.
when i test the movie and click my button both "OVER" and "DOWN" sound is played. is there anyway to make just only "DOWN" sound that can be played without actionscripting to minimize actionscripting too much
I've been trying to put a textfield in a button and it's not working.
myButton_btn.myText.text = "this is text";
where myButton_btn is a button and myText the textfield. The button is on the stage, the text in the actions panel. The text is on a layer spanning the up, over, down frames in the button
It seems simple enough but it gives me the error below as if myText doesn't exist:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Is it not possible to make a button with a dynamic textfield in AS3?
There is a flash which have a small navigation on the buttom. There is a small arrow on the buttom when the mouse rollover on the arrow the arrow is gone dissaper and the navigation show on the stage. When i rollout the mouse its collaps but when my mouse pointer is in the swf area. If i have rollout quickly form the navigation out of the swf area (on html). It's not working.
i have made a button with a rollover and rollout state. Everything seems to work fine but only once, When you want to use the button again. It does not seem to start again on "rollover". it only does the rollout script.
I need some help figuring out why my rollout is not working on this menu:I put some little close buttons at the bottom just to link them closed for now.Rollout isn't working.My code for each link is a movie clip with two frames for example links on "mens"Frame 1:
I have movieclip controlled by a button. by rollover on the button the movieclip transition starts working and I want that on rollout the movieclip will disappear in smooth fade. (the movieclip and the button have an instance name).
I have looked all over internet and so many different forums but no1 has the answer yet but here is what i rly wanna do in AS2 :
lets say i have a button(which is a MovieClip and not an actual button) tweening in size to 150% from frame 1 to 40 and then another tween sizing it back to 100% from frame 40 to 80. Then when some1 Rolls Over the button you see this animation going in a loop from 1 to 80 and again and again etc. BUT i actually want a Roll OUT that finishes the animation to frame 80 (even when some1 rolls out on frame 10 or so) and then returns to and stops on frame 1.
This seems quite easy to me and i used several stuff including currentframe etc but i cant make it to work.
I have a project where I need my button to have more than one function.the link to my flash file is:(tried to upload but it keeps saying invalid file)I have a countdown within frames 1-90. I didn't convert it to a movie clip because I have a flash movie that needs to run after it, which I put in frame 90.The way it runs right now with my rollover/out actions is perfect, BUT IT'S REVERSED from what I need. so close! grrr!
I need the countdown to stop if you move the mouse away.Then when the video starts (after the countdown), I need the rollout action to disable. If I can get this to work, I will be putting an exit out button on the flv movie so the user may exit out, using the button instead of the rollout action of the mouse.
Brief summary: countdown frames - rollover/rollout flv movie - no mouse actions
I have created a slide out menu using a tutorial (http:url...) the only differences are my buttons slide out to the right and they should do this when the user mouses over and then slide back when they mouse out. Unfortunately I am getting an error on the rollOut which I apply to 'dummy button' movie clip in the dropdown movie clip which allows the 2nd menu to slide back. This is the actionscript I'm using:
now what happens is that everything works UNTIL i select a button. THEN it no longer reports (traces) when i mouse over it. (problem 1) ALSO once i select another button, the old button alpha doesn't reset to 0 and now i have TWO buttons that don't report on the rollOver. they still work, oddly enough, in terms of loading fullRes...how do i fix it? 'currSel', BTW, is defined in the main AS body...
I am a complete novice in Flash and action scripting, but i'm trying to create a button for a website that simply fades in on roll over and fades out on roll off. I've successfully managed to make the roll over effect work, but i'm struggling to figure out how to reverse the animation on roll off.
