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/RollOut Effects HELP
I did the "Complex Button RollOver/RollOut Effects" tutorial. But whenever I play the animation, it does the rollover at the very beginning. And when you hover over it, it goes down to the normal position..

whats going on?

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 RollOut/RollOver Effects
i learned alot from this tutorial but the tutorial shows you how to open a new window when you click on the button, I am looking to jump to a frame label in the same movie, I tried adding the goto function in place of the get url but it wont work. This button is on the main timeline in scene 1 and I need it to go to a frame thats labeled port on its release.

here is a link to the tutorial you currently have:

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){
prevFrame();
}
}

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

}

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

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

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.

Complex Button RollOut/RollOver Effects Tutorial
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

I am having problems getting the button when clicked to go to a frame in my movie. The goToAndPlay code does not seem to work. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I know there is no gotoandplay code in the tutorial, I want to rplace the getUrl code.

This is the code I have,

stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (rewind == true) {
prevFrame();
}
};
this.onRollOver = function() {
rewind = false;
play();
};
this.onRollOut = function() {
rewind = true;
};
this.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 51);
};

Thanks Nick

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?

Help With Complex Button RollOut/RollOver Effects Tutorial
I have the rollout/rollover animation.. But I want it so that if you hover over a button, then it rolls out/over.

I dont want the user to hover over the animation.. I want them to hover over a special button.

please help.

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

Complex Button RollOver/RollOut Effects Problem
Complex Button RollOver/RollOut Effects
by warhero : 24 April 2005

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.

Complex Button RollOver/RollOut Effects Trouble
Hello, sorry if my english is not to good , I´m having a problem with this tutorial.

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

I used the code and works fine, the problems is that when I change the last chunk of the code to go to a frame, the animation resets. The code I´m using is the next one:

stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (rewind == true) {
prevFrame();
}
}
this.onRollOver = function () {
rewind = false;
play();

}
this.onRollOut = function(){
rewind = true;
}
this.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndPlay ("home");

}

If anyone sees the problem, pleaaaaaaaaaase let me know. Thanks !!

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

Complex Button RollOver/RollOut Effects Goto Function Query
Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem applying a funtion to my rollover/roll out effets button and would be very grateful if any one could help me!

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

I can get my anmation working perfectly but instead of the button going to a website on press:

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

I would like to go to another frame in my movie instead i cant seem to get it to work. Can any body help?

Button Inside Complex Button RollOut/RollOver
I created a movieclip from the tutorial "Complex Button RollOut/RollOver Effects" which I want to use as a menu. Is it possible to add buttons inside this movieclip??? I try and try but the buttons are never recognized, only the movieclip can be pressed.

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.

Button With Rollover,rollout Effect
Hi people,

I made a button with a rollover,rollout effect like this.
Made a but. placed it in an mc.frame2 to 12 is the rollover,frame13 to.. is the rollouteffect.

Prob.is the following.Now the button is an mc.The mc in my case is placed inside another mc.

The button had the following code:

on(press){
_parent.noPass45 = true
this.gotoAndPlay(40)
unloadMovieNum(2);
}

But because the button now is an mc(because of the rollover,rollout effect) the script ain't working.

What should I change in the script so the button(mc) calls this function on the mc it's placed on ?

Big thx in advance!!!

Grtz,

XML Thumbnail Gallery/ Complex Rollover Button Effect
Hi everybody, this is my first time posting. 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?

Thanks in advance

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.

Button With Rollover,rollout Effect Prob.
Hi there,

I made a button with a rollover,rollouteffect.I made it like this.

Placed a button inside an mc.I coded the button so frame2 to frame12 is the rollover and from frame13 we have the rollouteffect.No probs so far.

Only the button in the first case(without the effects) was placed inside an mc and had following code:

on(press){
_parent.noPass45 = true
this.gotoAndPlay(40)
unloadMovieNum(2);
}

Now with the effects the button becomes an mc and placed inside an mc.So how can I refer this code to the mc where the mc_button is placed in.Must be a _parent prob i guess.

Someone can help out.

Big thx in advance

Complex Rollover/Rollout GotoandStop
I was following the tutorial in the tutorial section about complex rollover/rollout movie clip functions. Right now I have a piece of text and a movie clip underline thing. When you rollover the text and/or the movie clip it does everything it needs to but rather than have it link to a page I want it to use the _root.gotoandStop function. This is my code and it is not working but not picking up any errors:

stop();

this.onEnterFrame = function(){

if(rewind == true){

prevFrame();

}

}

this.onRollOver = function(){

rewind = false;
play();

}

this.onRollOut = function(){

rewind = true;

}

this.onRelease = function(){

_root.gotoAndStop(31);

}

Thanks for any help

Problem With 3 Functions Button > On (rollOver) On (rollOut) On (rollOut) ...
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("_root.maitre_reception") {
gotoAndPlay (300);
}
}
on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("_root.maitre_reception") {
gotoAndPlay (1);
}
}
on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("_root.maitre_reception") {
gotoAndPlay (320);
}
}

. .. ... .... ..... ...... ........ ......... . .. ... .... ..... ...... ........ .........

A Button assigned with action above is used to control movie
clip , maitre_reception , when mouse is rolled over and rolled out ;

that works fine except that has the inconvenient to force me to
maintain the mouse over the button after releasing the click
in order to work - by obvius reasons because if I click and
roll out the mouse cursor it occurs the second condition:

on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("_root.maitre_reception") {
gotoAndPlay (1);

causing the movie to go and play 1 before movie goes and
play 320 ;

Is there a way to avoid that ?

(to ensure only one click makes it
to play frame 320 even if cursos has been rolled out )

Complex Rollover Effect ...
Hi There,
I'm only a beginner with flash and I'm trying to set a special roll over effect for a movie clip i created.
all i need to do is this:
when i roll over, it should play from frame 2 and stop where i told him (at frame 5) when i roll out i want him to play from frame 6 and stop where i told him again. (at frame 10).
i already did this with no problem except this: my movie clip has a very complex animation i created with other movie clips who works frame by frame style (actual animation).
the problem is this:
when i roll out after a short time (about half a second) the flash jumps to the rollout part of the movie clip and shows the rollout animation but doesn't finish the rollover animation, what makes the animation to jump (the animations i use is a bit long).
so i'm trying to see if anybody can explain to me how do i make this jump get out of my flash animation.
what i mean is this :
if i rollover the mouse and stays on the movie clip, the rollover animation is played and when i rollout out of the movie clip the animation continues as usual (this is something i already accomplished).
but i want to make this a bit more complex :

when i rollover and than right away roll out of the movie clip i want the flash to play the roll over animation and right after that the rollout animation without stopping .... '
i hope i made myself clear with this problem ....
for some of you it may seem easy (using some action script tricks or something) but I'm only a beginner who's trying to figure it out ....
if you want i can email anyone who is interested the movie clip to see the problem and try to fix it ....
thanks in advance for any help !

Complex Rollover Effect Question
Hi there,

I have a movie clip with autoscroll, on rollout I want it to move back to its original position.

I tried this on the frame my mc is in....

this.onRollOut = function() {
this._y = 130;
}

This is my code for the autoscroll....

_root.onEnterFrame = function () {
if(_root._xmouse > 328 && _root._xmouse < 800 && _root._ymouse > 120 && _root._ymouse < 540)
this.employmenttext_mc._y = -(622/420 * _root._ymouse) +130;
}

where y=130 is the y value i want it to return to on rollout. Where am I going wrong?

Thanks for your time

Buttons With Rollover And Rollout Effect.
Hi all !

I'm a rookie in flash, and what i want to do is juste below :

- i want to make somes cool buttons with two similar effects. One rollover and one rollout.

Actually i've made a button with a rollover animation, and i want the same effect in reverse for rollout.

I already tried with one animation for rollover and one for rollout but it's fake u see. if the cursor is out before the rollover animation finished, it is "gameover".

I saw some reverse playing tutorials in kirupa'sforums but nothing ( but i can be wrong ) concern about buttons.

If u don't understand one word what i am saying, it's logical, i'm french and my english is so lame ! But i got one example of this for ya.

Button RollOver/RollOut Effects WITH Looping On RollOver
I'm planning to use this tutorial, below to make a button:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/button_effect.htm

My question is how can I make it so that only on the rollover, the effect will keep looping?

Example: http://jump5.com/

On the right side, the navigation has this nice hover animation with the pointing arrow that continues to twitch on rollover.

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 Button Rollover
Ok, so I made a menu that when you rollover the little arrow, the menu pops out and I want there to be complex rollover buttons on that menu that the user can click on to go to a section of the website etc. Except when I put a complex rollover button on the menu it doesn't do anything...what have I done wrong here? Any help or leads to help is great. Thanks in advance! (if anyone has a good tutorial I can look up I'd appreciate that too!)

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
