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?
View 1 RepliesI am using a ENTER_FRAME to destroy the rollover state of my button. I cannot use a MOUSE_OUT, because I have buttons on top. Is there a better way to do this?
Code:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.*

I have spark skin a button with up, down, over, and disable states in a button component to create a modular. Is there a way when the user press and hold a key, the button will remain in 'down' state?
The button component include skinclass:

<s:Button xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

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 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 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.
View 2 RepliesI would like to specify which page a user is on by having the button on the rollover state. For example, on the products page, I would like the products button to be in the rollover state. I can't figure out how I would do this. Below is the code from the as file.

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]......
Can you call a button rollover state from inside a another MC?
View 2 RepliesI'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.
View 3 RepliesI have a FLASH Main Web Site Navigation Menu that has (7) Buttons (actual BUTTON objects created in Flash - not MovieClips) that load different HTML pages. Everything is working perfect (rollover states, linking, etc.), but I cannot figure out how to write the AS3.0 code to create a "Button Disabled" State? I have seen some code snippets that talk about this if using MovieClips, but how can I make a "Button" disable after clicking?I assume that I would need a variable that would capture and retain the last button clicked?
Here is my current code that makes the buttons work:
var mainButtons:Array = new Array(mainBtn0,mainBtn1,mainBtn2,mainBtn3,mainBtn4,mainBtn5,mainBtn6) ;

i wrote many things (something like back functions) but i failed. my code and my swf is below.

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.
View 3 RepliesI'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'm using the slider component, and its working pretty well. I'm just having 1 issue with the enabled state. the Situation: The user has to click and hold the slider down throughout the application. once their session ends the application sends out an event to disable the slider amoung other things. All of the events work fine except for the sliders disabled state.
the Issue: The slider is effectively disabled although because the users has focus on the slider handle before and whilst the disbale event fires the user can still move it around like its really working. Untill you release your mouse it continues to move around.
I'd like to somehow force a release click or something to loose focus on the slider component so it takes on the disbaled state right away once the event is dispatched rather than waiting for the user to release for this to happen.
I've created a button (symbol), and added a OVER state, which covers a bigger boundary than the UP state. However when I add the symbol/button to my stage, the roll over activates on any area covered by the over state, where I only really need it covering the UP state boundary. Any way of clipping the region covered, so mouse over is only triggered by the boundaries of the UP state.
View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 3 RepliesI 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)
It's my understanding that view states can be useful when switching the layout of design elements. Such as, a loading page as one state and the main application design in another state. Is this the correct use of them? Additionally, I have a label in State1 and I cannot figure out how to access that label via actionscript. labelID.text = "New Text"; is not working.

View 1 RepliesHow to set a hover state (upSkin) when hover on another element? This example is not working on spark:
[URL]
Would like to do something like this:

protected function button2_mouseOverHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
//make but1 look like I'm hovering it

<mx:SetProperty name="width" value="919"/>
So application resize into 616,919 . After that function finished move to current state like(currentstate='') But size not be changed . How can i set the size for current state?
I want to fade all the elements of the next state when transitioning from any state.I tried different things but I can't get it to work. And I don't want to manually add transitions for every state.

Which is a pretty small component and I have panelContainer:

Whilst the user is reading the warm and fuzzy welcome note in the welcome state I want to be creating the big expensive panels state so taht when we switch there is no delay.

How can I get hold of it?

View 1 RepliesI have an issue with an animated rollover/out state that I have created. I have seven movieclips that I am using as buttons and when rolled over/out play a different frame of the MC and move all the other mc's with an actionscript tween. The code works as it should but when I try to rollover/out of the mc to quickly the whole thing goes haywire and all the clips get out of place. I have tried to disable the buttons as soon as the user rollover on the mc but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I am only posting the code for one of the mc (publicist_btn) since all the code for the rest are the same.

I am trying to get converted to Actionscript 3 from AS2.In old versions of flash, you simply placed the sound in a keyframe inside the button on the over or down state. Worked fine, but not anymore.I guess the sound must be set up with actionscript and a listener.I understand linkage. how to make one sound on the over state and a different one on the down state?
