I need to trigger the hover state of a Flex button programatically, so that it looks like the user is hovering over it. There is a flex page about "Manually dispatching events":

Which would work, but what I'd really like to do is change the style of the button without having to throw an event. How can I do this?
How to set a hover state (upSkin) when hover on another element? This example is not working on spark:

Would like to do something like this:
<s:Button id="but1"/>
<s:Button label="change" mouseOver="button2_mouseOverHandler(event)"/>
protected function button2_mouseOverHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
//make but1 look like I'm hovering it
}
Is there a way to manually trigger a ColorPickerEvent?

UPDATE
Yeah I'm trying to simulate a click event .
I have flash which contains the map of the United States. Each state is a separate button. When each state is in hover mode, it changes the look/size of that state and adds names of the cities in white on the particular state.I would actually like to add 2 things to this flash.
1) When the state is hovered over, not only will the state change, but the cities belonging to that state (in the list to the right, will highlight)
2) I would like the city names in the list, when hovered over to highlight and to activate the hover mode of that particular state. In addition, that cityName button in the list and the state button should be able to direct to a URL upon hit.
I currently have each state as a button with each state's hover mode changes.I will be changing the cityNames into buttons (they are currently MCs).Once I change the CityNames into Buttons, then modify their hover modes to look like a highlight, then I know to do the following for the URL direct:[code]One of these will go on each text cityname button. But how do I tell the button to also activate the NewYorkState_btn into hover mode?I will also need each State image button to automatically arrange to the front when they are hovered so that they will not be overlapped by other states.Also, What do I do to get each state to hover and simultaneously highlight the appropriate CityName button(s) in the list?I have included an image below (FLashMapHover.jpg) so that it is a bit more clear what I am trying to do.
I've some flex structure:
<s:BorderContainer id="addFunctionBarContainer" width="100%" height="50"
mouseOver="addFunctionBar_hover(event)">
<s:Button id="addFunctionBarButton" width="20" height="20"[code]..
Explain: when I hover addFunctionBarContainer the addFunctionBarButton state should be hovered.
I was able to get the links working as they should but i can find no way to get the hover effect (not even the doopingTextArea class) I have content coming in through XML (a list of words and link)... I'm trying to create a menu where when you rollover the word the entire background area of that menu item changes color. Just like a CSS menu that creates a hover state that fills the entire background area of that item. Since the content is dynamic, it would need to have a scrollbar that expands/contracts etc.
View 2 Repliesanyone who takes the time to read and answer this post. I'm having an issue on a file that I'm working on at work. The basis of the project is that its an image of a map, with windmills on certain cities. When you rollover the windmill various things happen. The turbine starts to spin, information about the project in that city shows up in dynamic text boxes, etc.
Anyway, I have one movie clip for the windmill with actionscript (that makes the things mentioned above happen) on the actual symbol, so I do not have to create different movieclips for each city. However, due the way this works, when your mouse touches one of the blades of the windmill turbines, the turbine spinning animation stutters. This happens because when the turbine moves it causes your mouse to rollOut of and rollOn to the windmill rapidly.
It seems that I need to create a hit state for the windmill that is smaller than the bounding box for the entire movieclip. I'm unsure how to do this since the on(rollOver) and on(rollOut) states of the movieclip prevent me from being able to place that type of actionscript on the actual hit state (which would be inside of the movieclip). I could easily just take the actionscript on the main movieclip symbol and put it on JUST the hit state inside, however, I would need 60 different movieclips of the windmill for each city if I did it this way.
Is there any way that I can define a hit state that is smaller than the bounding box of my movieclip button, so that I do not have to create 60 different movieclips? I forgot to mention: Unfortunately since I'm doing this for a client at work, I can not post my file up anywhere to show. So if you need any more information or I was not specific enough please let me know. Also, I can post my code if need be.
Add Button with dynamic text and hover state
I haven't used flash for a bit but I'm really stuck on something that should be simple.
I want to add buttons or MoiveClip to make a navigation.
Each button will have different text on it and they need a hover state that changes the color of the text.
I have done this to add the buttons with text. This works but I do get an error message.
How can I change the color of the text when I hover over the button ? How can I stop the error message ?

I have this code about navigation using movieclip buttons. I just made the currently selected button disabled when it is in the current page but I just cant figure out on how to maintain it in its hover state (It keeps on returning to its normal state).
Here's the code I've written on the first frame on the main timeline(scene1), I have 4 buttons namely mcButton1, mcButton2, mcButton3, mcButton4 and 4 labeled frames, page1, page2, page3 and page4.:
var page:String;
var btnArray:Array = [mcButton1, mcButton2, mcButton3, mcButton4];var pageArray:Array = ["page1", "page2", "page3", "page4"];
[Code].....
I am trying to figure out how to trigger a button's over state (i.e. play the over state movie clip for about 4 seconds and then return to the up state) without the mouse event.
The playing of the movie clip would occur when an Action Script cue point in an flv was reached. I think I have the right code for the cue point handling, but have no idea how to specify the over state of a button, or how to tell it to play for a specified time and then return to it's up state.[code]...
I am looking for a way to trigger the downState of my SimpleButton using my KEY_DOWN event. I am hoping there is a way to do this without having to switch this to a MovieClip custom button.
[Code]...
The actionButton is my SimpleButton. I have tried dispatcing the CLICK event and MOUSE_DOWN event but neither has worked.
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 2 RepliesI'm using Flex 4.5 and trying to take advantage of the new state groups feature. I have two States (call them readType1 and readType2) that both belong to the same stateGroup (call it readOnly). There are several places where I'd like to do something based on the current state, and it would be the same thing for the two read states. [code]...
View 1 RepliesIn my air project i used current state size is width="441" height="358" . i have link button like Singin then move to singin state (currentstate='singin')
<mx:State name="signin">

<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.
Something like:

<s:Fade target="*" duration="500" />

In my view I have a welcome screen:

Which is a pretty small component and I have panelContainer:
[Code]...
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. Before the panels state is set panelView is null but I presume there must be an IDefferredInstance floating around somewhere that I can use to kick off the creation of the view. How can I get hold of it?
I have a flow chart, the Flash works perfectly, no problems, however i am using the multiple screens on Powerpoint slides in a program called Articulate (a simple program to house things like this as a whole media object on a website etc).The only issue with this is that i need to add links on top of each button on the page, which link to other slides in the presentation. So not hyperlinks in the Flash code, slide-hyperlinks in Powerpoint.
The Flash code should be enough to make the shapes have hover states, but not be a 'button', if that makes any sense? The hyperlink shapes i add on afterwards in Powerpoint should be the clickable areas with the cursor turning to a hand, but the Flash code by itself should just have a hover state with the cursor staying as an arrow.
Here's the code -
var tl:MovieClip=this;
for(var i = 1; i < 30; i++){

I am trying to achieve an effect in Flash. The effect in question is that when I hover a certain area I want my navigation (6 movie clips that acts as a button) to appear and disappear when I move my mouse out. The trouble is that right now I Can make then appear but I cannot click them nor mouse over them since I've put a transparent (alpha = 0 ) over them.
I'd like a solution or hint of a solution in AS2 but I am open to AS3 solutions as well.

Any reason my slider bar would be moving on its own after you scroll over a couple of the hover buttons?
i am making a scroller and need to have it so that when you hover on the up or down buttons, then it will keep moving the designated layer up or down. right now the event handler i am usiing (onRollOver) doesnt really work right because it only moves one pixel, then you need to roll off and roll back on.... i am thinking there must be some do... while statement for the rollover action but i cant find it...
View 7 RepliesI am using a magnifying glass effect in flash, but because my content and rollover buttons sit "inside" the magnifying glass, so they appear magnified, the rollovers dont work when you mouse over them because technically you aren't mousing over them, if that makes sense.

View 1 RepliesI have a candlestick chart that is working great when the numbers being dealt with are large but when the numbers are small the vertical axis starts at the very top of my data and ends at the very bottom.

so i've been following this tutorial on youtube about buttons and how to make them trigger certain things using AS3 Anyway, here's my code:
[Code]...
What suppose to happen is when i mouse over the button, some things appear, when the hover is off, everything goes back to normal The problem: When i mouse over the button, everything start blinking and the "some things" start appearing and disappearing while i hover over the button. When i remove aOut event and function - everything works like it should - "some things" appear when the button is hovered and stay there because there's no aOut code.
Tested the same thing using MouseEvent.CLICK instead of MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER. When it's just by itself - works fine. I clicked the button and things appear. But when I add MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, nothing happens at all. The button becomes unclickable.
I have two columns: the left one is a Canvas containing an mx:Tree and the right one is a Canvas containing a Canvas (to allow for scrolling) of some custom Sprites that go along with the tree nodes on the left. I made the right Canvas scrollable (horizontal and vertical) and I want the vertical scroll to also scroll the left Canvas so that the tree nodes line up with their representations on the right. The scrolling portion works fine and when I embed with wmode="window" there are no problems. Unfortunately, the customer requires dynamic HTML to overlap the Flash at times and when using wmode="opaque" or "transparent", there are issues. The scrolling still works, per se, but Flash does not seem to redraw either Canvas appropriately. The Canvases become out of sync and artifacts often remain on the right side.I catch a scroll event on the right column and update the scroll position on the left column like so:
public function onTimelineScroll(scrollEvent:ScrollEvent):void {
leftColumn.verticalScrollPosition = rightColumn.verticalScrollPosition;
}

I have a weird thing going on with my skins. I'm hoping to fix it by doing a workaround that involves triggering the click of a sparks buttonbar button, but I'm not exactly sure how to do that.
