Rollover Complex Button
What I want to achieve is when you mouse over the "liquid-morph" animated button the whole pic to be presented. The button with the morphing shapes is in a mask layer and under it is the masked layer with the pictured to be revealed. I found out that if the "liquid-morph" animated button is NOT a mask it can load the movie (I've put, on the over state of the button, a new movie that reveals the whole pic). But I want to be a mask and when I rollover it to load the movie clip that reveals the pic. Any help?

Complex Rollover Button
Hi people.
I've just gone through one of the tuorials here to make an animated rollover button ( http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20...ton_effect.htm ). Everything is working, i can get it to open up an new browser window but what i want is it to have it move to go to a frame label, i've tried a couple of ways but no joy.

1: Written in a seperate AS layer.

btn_Complex.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay("contact");
};

2: Written in the AS of the button

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("contact");
}

This is slowly driving me NUTS! Can someone please help. Thanks

Complex Rollover Button Problem
Was trying out the Complex Button RollOver/RollOut Effects and it worked excellent first time! Been having some problems trying to get it to work that way before I found the kirupa tutorial.

The only problem I am left with now is that when I use an instance of that button on my main time line I can't get it to jump to the required frame. In the tutorial the button has a this.onRelease function and takes you to the kirupa website. But I want it to just jump to the next section on my time line.

Hope I explained that well enough!?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Complex Button Rollover/rollouteffects
elo

I have been following this tutorial:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/button_effect.htm

I eventually found it quite easy until I realized I could not make the action

script to jump to next scene rather then "on release get url".

i actually know the action script for jump to next scene gotoandplay etc

but everytime I paste that code into the movie clip mc_complex it wont

fucntion or it will display "action script only for button instances" or something like that.

i have tried dragging the movie clip into a button with that code but that didn’t work eithr. I have tried a billion different things could anyone help me please ?!?!?

Complex Button Rollover Problem
I am includeding my fla, becuase its hard to explain.

I went though the complex button tutorial, to make the button a mc and "stay on" when clicked.

My problem would be that when the user first comes to the site 2 buttons are suppose to be in their over states, Which works. But when they are rolled over for the first time the go off, and shouldn't do that because the info that pertains to the buttons is still on the screen.

I really don't know what to do, but if someone could look at this that would be so great!!

The davepiccolo button and the first image is on when you first open the file, but don't do anything and just roll the mouse over them, they go to the off state.

THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

Complex Button Rollover/out Effect Help
Ok, so this time I think I have a less complicated question. I've applied the Complex Button Rollover/out Effect tutorial with no problems, but now I would like to have the same button control a Movie Clip in the same scene. I gave the MC an instance name of 'image', and tried replacing 'this' variable with 'image' naively thinking that it would do a similar effect to what Tell Target does. This is what I have on one button:

Code:
stop();

this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
prevFrame();
}
}

this.onRollOver = function(){
rewind = false;
play();
}

this.onRollOut = function(){
rewind = true;
}

image.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
prevFrame();
}
}

image.onRollOver = function(){
rewind = false;
play();
}

image.onRollOut = function(){
rewind = true;
}
I was hoping it would be that easy but I guess not

Something tells me it's an easy solution, but then again I thought a simple replacement would work =/

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Complex Button RollOver/RollOut XF
I have the following script to give effect to my loaded menu "movie clip" on my main stage. From the menu "movie clip" I have a about movie clip loading onto my stage. I think the effect script on my menu movie clip is over riding the load script for my about movie clip

the following script is on the first frame of my menu movie clip:

//stop();

this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
prevFrame();
}
}

this.onRollOver = function(){
rewind = false;
play();
}

this.onRollOut = function(){
rewind = true;
}

the following scripr is on my menu button to load about onto the stage.
Can anyone tell me why my menu button does not work with the effect script on the 1 frame?

Complex Button RollOut/RollOver Effects
I went through the Complex Button RollOut/RollOver Effects tutorial. I'm trying to mimic a similar situation. I want to create several clickable buttons within the animation. When I mousover the effect I can click on one of several buttons, and when I rollout, I cant. Any suggestions?

Complex Button RollOut/RollOver Effects
Thank you for this great tutorial.

I have one question...
i would like to use these mc_buttons to navigate from scene to scene within my root movie. i know i need to replace the getURL...

this.onRelease = function()
{ getURL("http://www.kirupa.com","_blank");
}

I tried gotoAndPlay(scene, frame);
with no luck.

do i need to target the root timeline? and how?

Thank you.

Complex Button Rollover Flash MX04

Complex Button RollOut/RollOver Effects
Hi,

I completed the Complex Button RollOut/RollOver Effects tutorial and wanted to know how to implement this correctly to a button that already has a motion tween.

For example I have a button which comes up from the bottom and adding the AS provided by the tutorial, when my mouse rolls over the button the button goes to the original state which is the bottom. (I also have a ripple effect on the button which is a movie clip but it serves as a background to the button) How can I arrange it so that my button can come up from the bottom, stay in place and then have the rollout/rollover effect when my mouse rolls over the button (and not go back to its very original state)?

Thanks

Complex Button Rollover Tutorial Question
Hi I'm working on the Complex Button Rollover/ Rollout Effects tutorial with Flash 8(here is the link: http://kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/button_effect.htm

In the tutorial the button opens a new window for a web page. I'm trying to get that button to go to a frame label within my flash movie, but the gotoAndPlay method doesn't seem to be working for me.

This is the code from the tutorial:

Code:
//stop(); this.onEnterFrame = function(){ if(rewind == true){ prevFrame(); } } this.onRollOver = function(){ rewind = false; play(); } this.onRollOut = function(){ rewind = true; } this.onRelease = function(){ getURL("http://www.kirupa.com","_blank"); }
And the following is how I edited the code:

Code:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){

if(rewind == true){

prevFrame();

}

}

this.onRollOver = function(){

rewind = false;
play();

}

this.onRollOut = function(){

rewind = true;

}

this.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", "pgtwo");

}
Can someone tell me how to do this? Also here is a link to the actual .fla

Complex Button RollOver/RollOut Effects
Hi

This is only the second time I've posted in this forum. I'm a a flash newbie, its not a program I use often but the more I use it the more I want to get into it.

I've just sucssesfully completed the tutorial ComplexButton RollOver/RollOut Effects here...( http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20...ton_effect.htm )

Everthing works except when I publish it to a web page the links dont work....nothing at all happens. All the rollover effects are working, just no links. Ive modified the tutorial and have made 5 buttons in a flash movie, the SWF is to sit in a web page as the navigation for a html/css site. heres the code below, all I did was to copy the code straight out of the tutorial. I simply need to get the links working so each button navigates to an internal page of my site.

If anyone could give me a hand to work out whats up that would be great.

Thanks in advance
Kuos

stop();

this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){

Complex Button RollOver/RollOut Effects: Issue...
Hey people...

I was following the tutorial for a RollOver/RollOut effects button...and I came into a snag. Everything worked great...with exception for a little bit that I wanted to change.

I wanted the RollOver/RollOut effect but have multiple buttons with different links. In this tutorial, you can only go to one URL. I was interested in using the RollOver/RollOut feature as part of a custom drop down menu in flash.

To get a better understanding of exactly what I'm trying to do...here is a link to my swf file...
http://smartnetnyc.com/2007/top_nav.html

I've also zipped up and attached the file that I'm working with. If this is something too complex to simply take care of, I'm more then willing to pay you for your time.

Can anyone help. I am trying to use the Complex Button RollOut/RollOver Effects Tutorial from this site. http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20...ton_effect.htm

Complex Button Rollover/rollout Effect By Warhero.
Complex button rollover/rollout effect by Warhero under the special effects section of flash mx 2004 tutorials.

I have been following this tutorial but it seems to be incorrect.

In step four, you are asked to create a movie clip.

What is it asking to make a movie clip of????

Am i right in saying, you cannot make a movie clip of nothing?

Am i doing something wrong or is there a step missing?

Hope this can be rectified.

Thank you.

Complex Button Rollover/rollout Effects Trouble
i've worked w/ the source file from the tutorials, but the problem i'm having is that ideally, i'd like the current button which is being rolled over to always be on top. so when i have 2 buttons right next to eachother, when either of them zoom, they'll be on top of the other one. as of right now, that doesn't happen since either one is in front or behind the next.

any suggestions?

Complex Button RollOver/RollOut Effects Question
Okay...I have a problem here.

Basically, I want the button to do a roll-over and bring down an drop down menu, and then the buttons in the drop down menu have roll overs too.

Here's the link:
http://ns35.webmasters.com/*watches2....com/httpdocs/

I can't get the roll-overs on the submenu to work. It's on the STORE button. Then there should be a roll-over on the WATCHES button. However, it won't recognize the code once the initial roll-over happens.

Anyone?? Please??

Thanks

I'm working with the above mentioned tutorial, but it's not working right for me. In the tutorial the first stop(); is disabled with //, and the button will work forward and rewind continuously until I rollout long enough for it to completely stop and then it won't work at all.

Then if I enable the first stop(); by deleting the //, it doesn't work at all?

I download the FLA and just cut and paste the actions and it doesn't work either.

Advice - Complex Button RollOver/RollOut Effects
Hi,

Ive done a variation on the above consisting of a little shape tween. I've copied it about 50 times as I want it to appear as a plane of moving components.

Anyway, when I preivew the movie, it plays straight away, and all the tween happens. I want this only to tween when the cursor is over.

I've followed the prinicples of the lesson 'Complex Button RollOver/RollOut Effects' and depsite having action scripted the movie with 'stop' at the start its still plays autmoatically.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Zip with Flash file attached.

Many thanks.

}
this.onRollOver = function () {
rewind = false;
play();

}
this.onRollOut = function(){

gotoAndPlay ("home");

}

XML Thumbnail Gallery/ Complex Rollover Button Effect

I've been working on the XML Thumbnail gallery tutorial posted up and I wanted to know if it's possible to make a complex rollover effect on an xml button? For example I would like to make this character { rotated 180 degrees above the button as a person highlights the button. How would I go about that.

Also can i add a shadow background to the button?

Complex Button RollOver/RollOut Effects Problem
Hello,

I've been through the roll out effect button tutorial here:

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20...ton_effect.htm

The main problem i am having, is with the actionscript at the end. I want to go to the next scene not to a URL. The simple gotoandplay does not work and i've been searching for hours and i can't find a suitable answer.

I'm sure it must be one line / word of actionscript i am missing.

I would be very great full if somebody could help me please!

Thanks

Complex Button RollOver/RollOut Effects - Linking Problem
Hey there..
First off..and first post. Thanks for everything on this site!

I am using the code the Complex RollOver/Out effect (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20...ton_effect.htm) and
how ever, the GetUrl works fine, but what I'm trying to do is go to a frame, for some reason, when I switch out the Get Url code, with a gotoandPlay command, it's not working.

See below..

THIS DOESN'T WORK..

this.onRelease = function(){

gotoAndplay(41);

}

BUT THIS DOES..

this.onRelease = function(){

getURL("http://www.kirupa.com","_blank");

}

Complex Button RollOver/RollOut Effects Tutorial Problem
I used the 'ComplexButton RollOver/RollOut Effects'
( http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20...ton_effect.htm ) tutorial about reversing the animation on a roll out which is what I need. However, I have a link in text and when the roll over happens, a graphic tweens in from the right just above the button. The tutorial works great but it the rollover works on the graphic too if the mouse catches it on the roll out, making it get stuck. This I don't want.

This is the tutorial code
stop(); this.onEnterFrame = function(){ if(rewind == true){ prevFrame(); } } this.onRollOver = function(){ rewind = false; play(); } this.onRollOut = function(){ rewind = true;}

Instead of just this. as the target as in the code in the tutorial, I have tried

this.AMbutton.onRollOver and even _root.AMmovie.AMbutton.onRollOver

but the reverse doesn't work and when it gets to the end of the tween, it just snaps back to the first frame on the roll out.

I would really like some help on this.

Thanks

2 Questions On The Tutorial "Complex Button RollOver/RollOut Effects"
Hi guys.
Thank you for the tutorial, I've been wondering how to make that effect for quite a while now.
I have two questions about it though.

I'm using the effect for a text menu, and I'm wondering how to make a hit area for the text. I'm used to doing that under a Button symbol. I should maybe convert some symbol into a Button instead of Movie Clip or Graphic?

And my next question is how I can have the button stay on the 15th frame when I press it? I'm loading external swf movies when I press the buttons.

Thank you so much in advance.

Complex Rollover -rollover Sounds
Hello,

I've used the complex rollover tutorial and it works great. My only problem is attaching a sound to the rollover. The rollover is set to rewind when you roll off the navigation link and this replays the rollover sound which I don't want. Is there a way to attach the sound to only the rollover?

thanks for any help you might have

Complex Mc Rollover
Hi,

I've been using this really great and simple action script to animate in and out a pop up menu with buttons within. The problem I'm having is how to make the mc play in reverse not only when the mouse rolls out of the active area, but also when the mouse rolls over a new _root button.

I've included a link to the .fla for you to look at. The animation linked to the artists portfolios is correct, but I really would like it if when you rollover the about button (currently empty) the artists portfolios animated menu plays in reverse also. It's like I need another 'else' function in the action script connected to the artists portfolios mc?????

Any ideas would be very cool....!!!!

Thank you,
Paul.

Rollover Complex Buttons
I want to have a similar effect like the one that happens in the first button to the left. How can I achieve that? And how can the button - when you roll out - return smoothly to its initial position?

Complex Rollover W/o OnEnterFrame
ok i have this in frame one:

ActionScript Code:
stop();this.onRollOver = function() { play(); nextFrame;};this.onRollOut = function() { prevFrame;};this.onDragOut = function() { prevFrame;};

and this in the last frame:

ActionScript Code:
stop();this.onRollOver = function() { stop();};this.onRollOut = function() { play(); prevFrame;};this.onDragOut = function() { prevFrame;};

and these are both in a movielip.. So on rollovfer the movie plays, but on rollout the movie just returns to frame one.. any ideas on how to reverse smoothly to frame one?

Help With Menu Using Complex Rollover
I am creating a site which shows a scene. Each button zooms in on button on rollover. These work individually. I have each zoom animation as a movieclip each referencing rollover and rollout functions of buttons on the root timeline. On the main timeline I have each animation on a different frame. On rollover I have each button change to the corresponding frame. It works but when it rolls over it only changes the frame. I have to rollover again on same button to play the zoom animation. Any suggestions to have the animation play on frame load?
