I have a map of the UK with all the counties and i was wondering how I would go about making a rollover flash movie. I specifically need it to highlight the county when the mouse is over that county and a little box to appear with the county name in it. Like an ALT tag I dont want someone to tell me exactly how to do it just some tips on how i would go about this. Is there an image mapping tool in Flash. Or how would i go about marking out the coordinates for each of these areas.
I am making a ball move from left to right and back. but when I rollover twice quickly, it also accepts the second rollover command. I would like it to accept that second rollover only when the first one is finished. I mean, I want the first to be finished before it accepts another rollover.I know it is simple to solve this with a tween using frames instead of as, but I was wondering if someone knows how to adapt the script.
im making a button and on the rollover animation I want to have it splatter paint, only thing is I dont know how to get an image into flash that doesnt look crappy. I know that I need a vector image, but im not familiar with vectors as I usually use photoshop. I tried using a photoshop brush image, a simple paint splatter in which I was just going to tween to a larger splatter but like I said the image looks blurred because itsa bitmap.
another newbie question, but when you make an animated button, is the background included in the animation? Like lets say I import a button, give it an animation to glow on rollover or something, if i went to use that .swf would the background that it was placed on show? or would it just be the animation that shows on the default web browser background.
make a photo gallery that, when a photo is rolled over, enlarges that certain image and text appears. did a search in the forum and found something similar i have never used flash before, and i would love a good tutorial.
I have an image contained within a slideshow with a rollover attached to it, when you click the image a larger image within the same movie clip appears. This layer is below my navigation layers for my website so when I click on the image it is below some of the navigation layers and logo. Is there a way to make this appear on top of all of the other layers without actually moving the layer up. I'm using Flash CS3 and Actionscript 3.0.
I am currently making an interactive Map, as i rollover to a certain continent, the continent will light up in a yellow highlight, afterward as i click on the continent the box menu will pop up on top of the continent, everything went fine until i browse around inside the box menu( the box menu is bigger than the continent,..wider) cause at one point the cursor will go to a certain area inside the box menu that is not on top of a part of the continent, That's when the yellow highlight went down. I was just wondering how do i make sure the yellow highlight on the continent stays on while i freely browse around the box menu( which is wider than the continent)
i'm making an animated rollover, and i get an output error that says this: Target not found: Target="_root.icon01" Base="_level0" i have no idea what the base="_level0" means.
I'm loading png files on movieClips attached on the scene dynamically (reading an xml file). then i'm making a tween (with actionscript) to scale the container clip on RollOver.
the png file pixelate when the clip is scaled(to 110%).
I have created one static movieclip and in that movieclip i have created "i" dynamic movieclips.On the dynamically created movieclip i am loading swf(Swf consists of a Preloader and then image appears).All these swf values and link(url) values i get by parsing an xml string in the FLA itself...Now the problem starts here...There are links on these dynamically loaded swf's....And I have given static rollover effect on the swf by making image as a button..Now what happens is that i have written onRelease Function in code and in that i m getting link on images(SWF) using getURL in on EnterFrame function and i am not gettin the rollover effects that i have created in static.
I've created a flash movie, and I want to make it a banner. I had an idea in mind to have the movie load and play in loop. When a user rolls over the movie (entire movie) the movie changes to something else (like an info movie). [URL]. Attached is my FLA file
i have created a navigation bar for my website and i need to add a url to the movie clip, it has roll over and roll out but when i put the url on it cuts out the roll over and roll outs.. what do i do?
im using the coding...
on (rollOver) {_root.home.gotoAndPlay(2) } on (rollOut) {_root.home.gotoAndPlay(1) }
I am pulling my hair out trying to make my simple flash file link to a URL and nothing I have tried will work. I am making a transparent box on the top layer of my file, making it a movie clip and adding the code
on (press){ getURL("http://www.trimergence.com/staging/news.html"); }
The action says it has no errors, but when I export the move, my cursor turns to a hand but goes no where when I click.
I'm trying to make a simple text animation but the background won't go away from my exports. I need to make a movie file (.avi or .mov) and nothing is letting me remove the white space in the background.Things I have tried:
Go to Publish settings > HTML > Window mode: Trasparent Windowless Result: White background remains
Make a .mov and in Quicktime Export Settings checkmark Ignore Stage Color (generate alpha)
Result: This time, everything was black (text was black too so it probably blended withthe background[code].....
So far nothing works so what is the deal with flash not comprehending with a clear background in movie files?
I'm making a game in actionscript using the FlashDevelop tool and the FlashPunk game engine. I have a designer making movie clips for me to put into this game using Flash CS3.
My problem is that when I add these movie clips into my game they are playing much quicker than they should. Is there a specific frame rate clips need to be made in within CS3 or any other export options set to enable them to play at the correct speed or is this something that I need to deal with in my code.
EDIT
Another problem that I'm having is that the command movieClip.stop() doesn't work. Is there anything special that needs doing while exporting or the programming side?
EDIT
Here is how I'm loading in my swfs:
public var movieClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); private var myLoader:Loader; public function MyMovieClip(location:String) {
The problem is related to my project MovieMaker .Users can upload the photos and based on the photos uploaded the xml is generated and the user can apply transition effects and can add songs also to make a movie.Finally when the Movie is generated then the problem occurs.The problem is that the movie created still needs the Xml file for fetching the images and songs.But To any user who has applied the transition effects and uploaded songs and images,I want to give him only swf file nothing else.no xml,no images,no songs.Means The song,images,etc which are coming from xml should be contained in the library of the generated swf.How can I do that ??
I have just finished a flash movie for a client which is an interactive payslip to explain all the different sections. They have got back to me and said it's great but I need to make this accessible for screen readers etc, and sent me the following link: [URL]. I have read through it all and I am slightly confused as to now how to make my complete movie accessible. Can I just add in the text links on the Accessible panel for the movie clips or will I have to create a whole separate column of hidden content for people to tab through?
On my site, i have 3 different Flash Files. Each playing a different part .eg text, content,menu. (because of the design, i can't have just 1 file, plus i want 3 seperate ones~!!!)Now what i want to try and do, is have the MENU(swf1) target a scene or frame in the CONTENT flash file(swf2)So that when you click on about us button, it will target (eg.) frame 3 of SWF2, which contains that information!!ANd also have the MENU(SWF1) be able to also target frames in TEXT(SWF3)Bassically im guesisng its passing variables to and from multiple movie clips!i have no where to start.
I want to reduce the alpha of a movie clip when mouse is rollOver the movie , the alpha will be continuously reducing over frames, i dont want to use tween.
[Code]...
i this code when i rollOver the mouse on a movie clip, it shows the alpha reducing over time , and at roll out alpha increases over time. but if i rollOver and rollOut in fractions of seconds , it flickers (like 60-100 instead of from the current alpha lvl), So i am looking for some code that can help me in fixing this problem.
Okay, now things are getting a little complicated. I need to build a Flash object that can sit over the corner of an image to serve extra content. It's way beyond my Flash skill level, my work is usually limited to print work in Photoshop and Illustrator so please excuse me if any of the following isn't clear. I am trying to learn though, So this is how it's all supposed to work, along with my issues; When the image & Flash item load a small looping animation will play to draw the eye/show the item as interactive.
When the user rolls over this the corner will peelback. I have a working peelback animation for the rollover, that reacts to mouse over/mouse off, and a looping animation for the initial, but I cannot work out how to make the initial loop until mouseover, then play the peelback when the mouse is over. And go back to the initial animation loop if the user rolls off. (Each of these animations is stored as a movie clip in the Library) Then it gets more complicated... if the user stays on the corner until it is fully peeled back I need to make a small countdown (sort of a 3, 2, 1 situation) show, before launching a lightbox (would this have to be jQuery, or could it be done in Flash?) in the browser to serve the content.
Is a command for AS2 to make my movie file play fullscreen (stretch, fit to screen, anything).
goFullScreen(); is great but it leaves white bars left and right. What's odd is that I'm using Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder and it seems to display a perfect widescreen that I want as an input and output but once compiled in flash, it's more square leaving me with white bars left and right. The frame for the video in flash is also widescreen looking.
edit: I ended up stretching the width of the frame but if there is a better way through a command that would make my life easier so I don't have to adjust to every monitor that I run this on.
I am new to flash and peretty much lost when it comes to actionscripting. I am trying to use a movie clip as a rollover button. I have it working, but when the mouse goes over the rollover graphic, the graphic starts to flicker and I have no idea why. Can someone take a look at what I have and let me know what I did wrong. Here's the file I'm using: [URL]
I m a starter with Flash CS3 and i m trying to learn actionscript but So i ve made a movie clip (some animation stuff) and i have it in the first frame on stage, i want when the mouse rollover the movie clip to go and play in frame 166 but this dont happen...i have put this code in the movie clip
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 am working on doing a clickable menu in flash cs4 and i have made my movie clips that animate each menu item on rollover (I did this by putting the movie clip into the "over" state inside the button which resides on my main scene)When I test it that all works fine each movie clip plays on rollover. But when I roll off the button it cuts the animation short.
What I want it to do is continue the movie clip after I take my mouse off the button and hold in that end frame until I have rolled over another button. But still I want it to play through the movie clip if I roll off one button and onto another. So if someone rolls over all the menu buttons they each play all the way through but will disappear after end frame and only the last button that i have rolled over will remain at last frame of its animation.

I have a movie clip of scrolling images, but I want it to stop/pause when I hover over the movie, then start on RollOut.I'm guessing I need to use something like:on(rollOver){this.stop();}on(rollOut){this.play();}
I understand that nested rollovers do not work, but let me say first that there is no nested rollover. Although my rollovers are in a nested movie clip, the main movie clip does not have rollovers, so from my understanding of the nested rollover problem, it does not apply to this situation. But, it's not working.
heres my code basically i want it so if i stay rolloed over it keeps reversing, in stead of having to roll off and on, obviously only does one frame at a time.
