Flash :: Button Animation

OnMouseOut{freeze Button Animation, Reverse Animation Back To..}
This is my question in an action script "perspective", since i dont wanna spend the time typing this question out in plain english..

How would i implement this effect into a button I made that contains a MovieClip as the over state? ::

onMouseOut{
stop button's Over animation on current showing/playing frame;
then reverse animation back to start
OR
fade out current showing/playing Over animation frame, back to the button's load state (not over)
};

[CS3] Create Animation That Runs From Button Click After Another Animation Has Run
Hi,

I am a newbie to flash & actionscript. I have, though, learnt the basics of flash animation, tweens & bits of actionscript and have created an animation movie consisting of sevral layers.
I have the movie stopping at the end and the graphics are all converted to buttons.
Now, from this end point, i want the user to click on one of the images (buttons) and then the flash movie to start a sub-animation.
BUT i don't know how to do this.
Do i need to create a new scene to do this or do i need to extend the layers and add the additional animation to the layers or do i need to add new layers to the same scene?
ALternatively, do i need to this in actionscript?

Please let me know what is the method of doing this in Flash. This seems like a simple thing which i've seen in flash movies before but i can't find any answers or tutorials on how to do this.
Please give me the steps involved in creating a second animation runnable from a click in the 1st animation.

To clarify further, my aim is to make the movie clip interactive using different motions 9or animations so that when an object in the 1st animation is clicked a different animation starts. So how can i achieve this?

Regards, shuja

Making An Animation Fade Into Another Animation When A Button Is Released?
okay, so I have for exmaple a red animated background for 'home' but when someone clicks 'media' for example, I want that red animated background to fade into a green animated background.

I tryed using external swfs, but I don't know how to make the outro animation of the first red swf fade into the intro animation of the second green swf, so it creates the effect of red into green, rather than red to black, than black to green.

any tutorials that could help me?

Button Animation That Ends Animation On Rollover
I design a button that glows on over. So the person rolls over the button and it glows other wise the button does nothing.

What I want is the button's glow animation to finish the animation after the person moves the mouse away. So once the mouse touches the button it starts the animation and if the person moves the mouse away the animation completes the time line(glow).

I designed a button with the glow as a separate animation/movie clip.

The animation is on the over state. But it does not play all the way threw the animation unless the person keeps the mouse over the button.

Please help me get this simple problem to work.

Stop Button States In Button With Animation With Button
Hello there,

I wonder if someone could help me to do this:

I have a movie clip with 3 animated buttons in it. Now I want to make the same movie clip into a button itself but I want the inside buttons not to show their over, press or hit states.

If I try and change the buttons' states this will change the originals which I don't want to do. I could replace the buttons with stills but this could be very time consuming since I have a lot of buttons in very long and complex animations. I could also duplicate the buttons and make the changes and then substitute them in the new movie, but this is also a very long process...

Is there a way to disable the buttons' state in an instance of the button as supposed to all of them when changing the master ?

Thanks a million to whoever helps.

Daniel

Flash Button: Question Regarding "Animation In MouseOver And MouseOut On The Button.
Hello. I came across a problem while creating a flash button and I've come here to seek your help.

I am creating a Flash button where:

- MouseOver on the button will play Movie #1.
- MouseOut on the button will play Movie #2.

Now, I can do the first part without a problem because I can create Movie #1 within the "Over" section of the button. The problem is, I don't understand how to implement a method so that when MouseOut is detected, Movie #2 will play.

I don't know if you guys can understand what I mean, and I have supplied a link to the .fla file below:

button.fla

Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated. I am sort of a newbie to designing with Flash, and this part of working with buttons seems a bit advanced to me. Thank you. Have a nice day.

Button Problem: Animation Stops When Cursor Is Moved Off Of Button.
I have a row of buttons for my navigation bar. On the over state of each button I placed a quick movie clip. I'm trying to figure out how to get the movie clip to complete even when the cursor is moved off of the button. As it stands right now, if I move my cursor off the button the movie clip cuts out and the button returns to its original state.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Button Animation
How do you animate a button after it has been pressed? (i.e. on the hit state). I have dropped an animated mc onto the rollover state and it works perfectly - but you don't get to see the hit state. So how are buttons animated after they are pressed? I know it must be pretty straight foward - you see it all over the net. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time,

_x Pos Animation With A Button
How can I trigger this animation off with a button?

if (_root.instance._x>=-400) {
_root.instance._x = _root.instance._x-22;
}

if ((_root.instance._x<-400) && (_root.instance._x>-400)) {
_root.instance._x = -400;
}

If I just attach it to onmouse up it will only move for one frame, but I want it to move until it reaches -400.
For the moment its a frame action, but this is a problem because I have to loop the frame, which causes me all sorts of problems.

I've seen this effect used all the time, but for the life of me I don't know how they do it.

You hover over a button..it slides up.. you rolloff it, and it slides back down.

I'm having a hard time figuring out the easiest way to make my navigation buttons animate the way I want.

What I want is when someone mouse_overs the media button (example), I want 2 more buttons (Photos & Music) to slide in to the left of that button.

I don't know how to get the mouse_over to freeze and slide in the other 2 buttons and make the THOSE buttons clickable...I've tried my ideas but they don't work. I think I know how to get the
buttons to go back to the original position after there clicked...but I can't figure this out!

Hello All,

I have a series of "folder tabs" that are movie clip buttons. When you rollOver one of them I want it to animate up a few pixels and back down to the initial position when you rollOff. The catch is if you click on one of them I want it to remain in the up position, animating back only when you click a new tab.

I have been fighting for a while but haven't ben able to get it.

Any ideas,
Any help is greatly appreciated,

Hi guys,
How is everything, hope everyone is being productive and everything is going well.

I have a problem that im sure one or some of you can solve.

I have a button shaped as a 3D Diamond. On the OVER keyframe in the button I have placed a movie where a number comes out of the top of it.
Of course when you roll out that number dissapears as there is no roll OUT keyframe.

How would I tell the button to go to an out state where the number would go back inside the diamond?

I can't see how to do it at all because you only get UP, OVER, DOWN and HIT.

I am using Flash MX and am not massively talented at Flash I must admit. Can anyone help?

Thanks alot.

Button Animation
Hello!
I've made a menu with animated buttons. Each button when clicked makes a movement towards a point B. When another one is clicked the previous button goes backwards from point b to its original place on the menu. This inverted movement takes place with if(_root.nm._currentframe == "30")_root.nm.gotoAndPlay("back"); , where "nm" is the name of the movie clip and "30" is the last frame of the "on release" animation where the time line stops.
What i want to do is call the backwards animation not only when the animation of the previously clicked button reaches frame 30 but even during the motion towards frame 30 and when the motion is interrupted by the click of another button, i want the backwards motion to start from the current frame it was interrupted. I hope i've made myself clear. Thanks

Ok, so I'm trying to animate this movie clip within a button within a scene. All I want to do is animate a line that is a button and have it bend. I've gotten two undesired results and am stuck.

1.) When I go to tween the animation instead of an arrow signifying a successful tween I get dashes in every frame. Subsequently there is no animation when I scrub.
Damn.

2.) I played with it and got it to tween but instead of the line bending when the animation starts it moves the whole line to a location it creates! WHAT?!

If anyone can help I would ... say thank you. Anyway, Flash professionals please respond!

Thanks guys.

Button Animation
I'm soon going to start work on a new nav bar for a website I'm makeing for someone and they want it so that when you rollover the sheets of paper(buttons) then crumple into a ball and when you move off they uncruple. The action of crumpling will be achived by a series of photographs of a piece of paper getting crumpled. I only know to make buttons by createing a new symbol(a button) which only allows me 3 frames(normal, rollover and clicked) this won't let me do the animation I'm looking for. I'm guessing my best bet would be to make 2 movies one of the crumpling action and one of the uncrumpling, my problem is I have no clue what AS I need to use to make it do one movie on rollover and then then next when the mouse leaves. Now that I think of it I would really like it if the uncrumpling started from where ever then crumpling left off that way if it was a quick mouse over it would jump to fully crumpled then open, it would just bend in a little then open right back up. All help would be greatly appriciated, without this forum/website I'd be stuck with trying to guess how things work by my self.

Phew that was long.

Hi,

I'm using Flash MX, but I very very new with this.

I've got a concept for my website in mind and don't really know how to realize this.

What I wanna do is:

On the left hand side of the screen I need to have about 7 buttons.
I want to have these buttons not dissolve, but the other way around.
I want them to do this one by one.

After buttons are all on screen, I need them to be able to link to another page.

After the animation on the home page, I need these buttons to remain accessible but without any animation.

How can I realize this? (If possible explain step by step)

Thanks for your feedback

Rgds,
Tinos

Button Animation Help?
Hi!
I have an animated button that is basically a bubble floating in place until you roll over it, then it freezes. On the down frame, I have an animation of the bubble popping and an object falling out of it. (all the animation is contained within the button)

My problem is that the pop animation only plays as long as you hold down the mouse button and don't release. When released, the button goes back to it's Up state. What I want it to do is when the button is released, play the pop animation through entirely and NOT go back to the Up state. So the button will be gone from the page. AFTER the animation has completed, I want the button to load a new page or scene.

I'm using Flash 5 and am quite new at this. I tried some books, but I haven't found anything that really helps me out in this situation.

Thanks for your time!

Animation As A Button
Hey,

I'm trying to make a quite complicated button. Basically, it's a firefly, but when the mouse rolls over it some words appear next to it. I have this as a basic button -> firefly by itself on the 'up' status, and the firefly and the wording on the 'over' status. I then animated this button so that the firefly flies around the screen, and when you rollover it the wording appears to be flying with it. However, i can't seem to make it link to another part of the movie.

I'm using:

on(release){
gotoandplay(32)
}

however, it just makes the fly jump back to its starting position. I think this is because it is a button within an animation and it just jumps between the frames of the animation rather then the scene. Is there a way round this? I've also tried

on(release){
gotoandplay("Scene 1", 32)
}

but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

thanks

Hello,

Here is my problem: The rollover animation works, but to get the down state animation to execute completely i have to hold the mouse button down. If i let go, the over animation begins again. I would like to simply click the button once for the down animation to run in it's entirety. This button is set up as a button symbol.

I usually make my button with the gotoAndPlay with a "over" and "out" animation. But if the mouse isnt over for the full animation it jumps to the "out" frame.

Button Animation
First off I'll explain my movie. I have an invisible button that on rollOver it plays an animation of a MC I'm using for a button. When rolled over the MC plays a shape tween between 2 colors. It starts blue (frame 1), tweens to green (frame 20), then back to blue (frame 30). Repeting this whenever the mouse is over the invisible button.
My MC has a
Code:
stop();
on the first frame and labeled "mcStop". Frame 2 labeled "mcPlay". Frame 30 has
Code:
gotoAndPlay(mcPlay)
.
My invisible button has
Code:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("mcPlay");

}
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndStop("mcStop");

}
This way the animation plays when the mouse is over the button and stops when the mouse is removed from the button.

The problem is when the mouse is removed from the button, it "jumps" right to the "mcStop" frame.
Is there any code or a way, that when the mouse moves off the button, the animation will finish out to the end, and instead or repeting, it will stop when the mouse is off the button?
Thanks

Animation Over Button
Hi all

I have a series of buttons. On top of one of these buttons, I have a looping animation, that's supposed to tip you off as to which button you click first.

When the animation plays, it seems like it blocks the button that's underneath it, when the animation is at its "empty" point, the button underneath works fine. The rollovers work, the button loads what its supposed to when clicked, etc.

But it seems like the animation is blocking the functionality of that button. Is there a way to set this animation so its "ignored" and the button functionality isn't blocked at all?

Or is there another way of doing this?

Any help is always appreciated.

Thanks
Chris
