Flash :: Flash Drawing Onmouseover Instead Of Onclick

Mouse Onclick To Onmouseover Change Of Script
hi anyone,
i'm desperate. i downloaded a ultrashock .fla file for panoramic viewing. U can check the work in progress at www.galeriedad.com
thing is, i'd much prefer to change the on clic drag function (used to scroll horizontally) to a much more ergonomic "on mouse over". Can someone help me on this? i'd be very gratefull as i'm still at a beginner level on flash MX... i've no knowledge of the script syntax, and can't find any tutorial for that. i tried to change on the invisible button state, than elsewhere i found a "onclic drag" etc. script, put "onmouseover" instead but it doesn't work, even crashes my MX
thx in advance to anyone laying an eye on this matter...

I Need To Make This Txt Scroller Move Onmouseover, Not Onclick - Help Needed
I have a text scroll box that is moved by an up and down arrow, but you have to actually click it for it to scroll. I'm wanting to set it up to where you just mouse over the arrow and it scrolls automatically. I just downloaded this text scroller, so I'm not sure what to edit in the script. This is what the buttons currently say:

up arrow:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_parent.lPressed=="1") {
_parent.gotoAndStop(_parent._currentframe-1);
}
}

down arrow:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_parent.lPressed=="true") {
_parent.gotoAndStop(_parent._currentframe+1);
}
}

any suggestions?

It's static text that is moving as well as a layer of graphics. Here's a screenshot of the scrolling movieclip if that helps at all: http://www.nlgraphics.com/screenshot.jpg

Can I modify the code that I currently have in place, or would something totally different have to be put together?

Any help is appreciated.

Flash OnMouseOver Problem
Hi,

I am creating a navigation bar and i used an OnMouseOver effect to display the options under each button option. My issue is while the options do appear how do i get them to stay there so i can mouse over them so they can be selected? Everytime i move the cursor away from the the main options the bus options disappear.

This must be quite simple but i'm comletely new to flash and so bear with me plz.

The effect i would like is similar to the navigation bar at the top of the Macromedia site.. www.macromedia.com

Currently the mouseover effect is only on the about us button.

Onclick In Flash
I have problem with onclick in Flash, Please help....

I have a javascript function that says the following:

<script type="text/javascript">
function startLoading() {
Element.show('mainAreaLoading');
Element.hide('mainAreaInternal');
}
function finishLoading() {
Element.show('mainAreaInternal');
setTimeout("Effect.toggle('mainAreaLoading');", 1000);
}

function loadContent(id) {
startLoading();
new Ajax.Updater('mainAreaInternal', 'rpc.php', {method: 'post', postBody:'content='+ id +''});
finishLoading();
}
</script>

I make a link in html that goes like this:

onclick="loadContent(1);"

Now, my problem is, how do i do the same link on a button in Flash........?

I know about the getURL statement, but not the method i'm looking for here. What i want to do is get some content loaded which i get from a file i have (rpc.php)

If i put the javascript in my index.php document and call the function in a link, onClick="(loadContent(1);" it works fine.

What i'm looking for is a way to do this with actionscript, and the getURL function is not the solution.

Resize Flash Movie Over Content OnMouseOver

Html Onmouseover Affect Flash File
Hi there,

I just wondered if there was anyway of affecting a flash movie by moving over certain HTML certains within a document. I think I'm gonna need to explain it more
Although I'm pretty certain the answer is no. I just thought I'd check.

Let's say we have a HTML form with three textboxes within it. Each textbox has some javascript function initiated onFocus(). The javascript function communicates with the flash movie in order to change it. i.e. Display something related to the textbox.

Any code samples are appreciated.

Thanks,

Nathan

Onclick Flash And Javascript
Hello guys,

I have a single button in a Flash movie, and that button is running the following code:

Code:

on (press){
getURL("javascript:home_kron('home.php','')");
}

So, when I click on the button the JS function works perfect, but the browser URL changes to: javascript:home_kron('home.php','')

How can I avoid this, so when I click on the button the browser url doesn't change?

Thanks in advance guys!

3D Flower (tutorial:3D In Flash With Cos, Math.sin And Z-axis At OnMouseOver)
from this tutorial:

Code:
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/3D/3D_Flowe-V_Ramra-801/index.php

i did the whole tutorial perfectly.
But why don't i see anything in the swf file?

The .fla file that people can download from that tutorial from above page, is slightly different. eg: this line is added in the .fla file from the tutorial:

PHP Code:

var variable, buffer, no;

my swf file is:

Code:
http://www.fzvastgoed.nl/pcxpert/page_flower.html
http://www.fzvastgoed.nl/pcxpert/page_flower.swf

when opening the URL, it nags about my 2GB memory (and 250GB HDD space) computer is too slow. That can't be, so the action script is very complicated i think, though, after clicking: 'yes, play the swf file', i see nothing.

my .fla file is:

Code:

Drawing An Outline Of An Object In Flash And Then Animating The Drawing?
I wish to draw an outline of an object in flash? bit by bit a piece of the outline is drawn until the outline is completed, once this has finished then object then appears and the outline disppears (this part I can manage).

I do not know where to begin? So may need a lot of direction on this one.

Loading Flash Movie Onclick?
Hi, i have an intro, which has a clickable button which should load another flash movie (the menu), but everytime when the intro finishes and the button shows up, it immediately loads it. How do i make it "onclick"

Onclick Stay Highlighted Flash Button
I have developed a flash navigation for a particular web site. I created the button effect using a movie clip and some flash action script. The script I used for the buttons was something like below and adjusted to suit eaach button, five in total.

ActionScript Code:
buttonOne.onRollOver = function() { OK1 = true;};buttonOne.onRollOut = function() { OK1 = false;};effectOne.onEnterFrame = function() { if (OK1) { effectOne.nextFrame(); } else { effectOne.prevFrame(); }};

The script works great. However I need to button highlighted when say the user is on home. And then when the user click the next button find out more, I wish for that button then to remain highlighted. My action script knowledge is very limited, so I would appreciate any directions people can shed light on.

If anyone can help please add your recomendations to this thread. Thanks

OnClick Trouble - Detect Anything Other Than Correct Answer - Flash MX
I am using radio buttons and the push button and have a script that moves a user 10 frames forward for question and feedback. Once the user selects an answer they move 10 frames forward for some feedback and then again 10 frames forward for the next question.

I need to revise my script so if they select anything other than the correct answer the movie goes somewhere else in the timeline.

How can I write my script to determine the user selected anything other than the correct answer and direct the movie to go somewhere else in the timeline or do something else other than moving 10 frames forward. I can't seem to get it to work. (My script does use else to determine if nothing was selected at all.)

score = 0;
function onClick(btn) {
if (btn == begin_btn) {
gotoAndStop(_currentframe+10);
}
if (btn == q1A_btn) {
gotoAndStop(_currentframe+10);
}
if (btn == q2A_btn) {
gotoAndStop(110);
}
if (btn == q1_btn) {
q1_result = q1.getData();
if (q1_result != null) {
if (q1_result == 0) {
score++;
}
gotoAndStop(_currentframe+10);
} else {
error._visible = 1;
}
} else if (btn == q1_btn) {
q1_result = q1.getData();
if (q1_result != null) {
if (q1_result == 0) {
score++;
}
gotoAndStop(_currentframe+10);
} else {
error._visible = 1;
}
} else if (btn == q2_btn) {
q2_result = q2.getValue();
if (q2_result != null) {
if (q2_result == 0) {
score++;
}
gotoAndStop(_currentframe+10);
} else {
error._visible = 1;
}
}
}

Thank you for any help.

How To Make Javascript Onclick Events Triggered With Flash 8?
Howdy. I'm new to both Javascript and Flash. I'm currently using JQuery and Flash 8 to achieve an end for a clients site. They made their navigation in Flash. For various reasons, the navigation must stay in Flash, but I have the power to edit its actionscripting.

What is happening is that the JQuery is being used to turn off the visibility of part of the site when someone clicks on the navigation links. If the links weren't in Flash, this would work, but it does not.

Have you any advice?

Many thanks in advance,
Rachel

Onmouseover On Top Of A Onmouseover Possible?
Hi, I'm stuck...

I got a menu, that only shows the word menu in the flash movie. On a mouseover the whole menu slides in to fill the movie almost entirely. As long as the mouse is over the menu it has to stay above.
This works fine. However, what I can't get to work is another 'onmouseover' within the menu (for the 'buttons', a fade effect). Can I only use one mouseover without other little mouseovers on top of that? If so, what is a good solution to overcome this problem?

Thanks,

Harrie.

What I need my animation to do, is when the pointer hovers over the animation, it starts, and have it stop and reset when it rolls off the object. Also needing it to stop at the end of the animation whlie the cursor is still on it.

Can anyone help me? I seem to be running myself in circles here. Thanks.

example of link in HTML:

Code:
<a href="#" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet('default'); return false;" target="main">change style to default</a>
how would i insert this into a flash "on (release)" link?

OnMouseover Event
Hi all, unsing flash 5 and i'm making a menu. I want to be able to control a specific button, so when i leave the buttons "Hit area" and move over to the sub menu, it will stay as an onMouseover and not go back to default.

The only way i can think of doing it is having a movie clip with the 2 states, normal & over and then have a trancparent button so it's clickable, but at the same time i can control the movie behind it with the 2 different states... Is there an easier way with actionscript?

I wish you could name the buttons in flash 5 and control them like you can the movie files. Have they got this feature in flash MX?

thanks all

OnMouseOver Without See The Hand

Help With OnMouseover Functions...
Hi, i have created a flash program which creates a map of blocks from an array. 0 = no block, 1 = block. What i am trying to do is, when you mouseover one of these blocks, i want it to fade out, and be counted as "visible = 0".

Here is what i have got so far (on the block iteself):

Code:
onClipEvent (load)
{
this.onRollOver = function()
{
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}
However, all this does is gotoAndStop(2) on the block movieclip, and only when it is "mouse overed". Any idea how i would fix this? I have included the file as an attachment too... thanx!

OnMouseOver Headaches
Peps ~ I created a scene with Buttons. There are 8 Buttons representing 8 different Cities. (Red/Green) When you [RollOver] the Red Button, it shld turn to Green and advance to another Frame. If you [RollOut], it shld return to its' Starting Point, however if when on the Green Button, if you [Press], you shld move up another Frame and a Graphic Display will show.

Upon [RollOut] it shld again take you back to the Starting Point [Frame 1]. On the first button, it works like a charm but none of the other ones work at all. I inspected the Movie Explorer and noticed that there are far too many Action Scipts going on and I can't tell which one is making this thing work. I did a Screen Capture on my Script if and if you'd like 2C what I have going on, I will Post it.

I created an original set of Buttons and didn't like them so I created a new set of Buttons and although I don't see them in my Movie Scene, I think the Script that was written at the time is still in the Legend, so I'm afraid to Delete anything because I don't know which would be safe.

Would Someone like 2C these Scripts and C if htye can figure out which script is making this action work and which scripts R just taking up space?

OnMouseOver Delay?
I'm trying to create an action that delays an action for a few seconds before the action occurs.

An example would be a button has two ways to activate a followon action.

On way would be on click.
The second would be onMouseOver but with a twist.

If the user holds the cursor on teh button for about 3 seconds - the action triggers.

If they just roll over the button with a time of less than 3 seconds - nothing happens.

Any ideas on how to program the delay?

A simple if statement?

Help With OnMouseOver Arrangement
I have 12 buttons on stage, in 3 rows of 4. When you mouseover each button, I have a image 'hovering' over the button, and when you mouseout, the image 'disappears'. However, some buttons due to the "arrange, bring to front, send to back thing" is causing some images to not pop up to the very top, but displays behind some buttons. I cannot get them all to be 'ONTOP' so whatever one you mouseover will display the picture clearly.

OnMouseOver Problems
Hello.

I have 2 movie clips in my flash-file. Both of them are simple rectangels for now.
What I need is that the second rectangle must avoid intersections(overlappings, hitTest()) with the first one.
Here's the code I wrote:

Code:
var oldx=0;
var oldy=0;

_root.onMouseMove=function() {
if(!_root.basebl.hitTest(_root.dynbl)) {
oldx=_root.dynbl._x;
oldy=_root.dynbl._y;
_root.dynbl._x=_root._xmouse;
_root.dynbl._y=_root._ymouse;
}
else
{
_root.dynbl._x=oldx;
_root.dynbl._y=oldy;
_root._xmouse=oldx;
_root._ymouse=oldy;
}
}

It works but when I move the mouse fast its not avoiding intersection.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Animation Onmouseover
I like this site www.eyeblaster.com , and am designing a set of pliers that has some tools that open from it, like a"Leatherman" tool. I need one tool to open on a mouseover of a word, and another different tool to open on mouseover of another word, etc. All I get is all tools opening onmousover of either word. Can someone help out with a little guidance, since I apparently am clueless in Flash today. Thanks in advance.

What Is Syntax For OnMouseOver?
I have an object instance called thumbnail1 with the following code...

this["thumbnail1"].onPress = function() { // code here works perfect; }
this["thumbnail1"].onMouseOver = this["thumbnail1"].displayHoverState();

When user hovers over my object, I want my object to invokes its displayHoverState() function. Why it is not working?

I think the syntax "onMouseOver" is incorrect. Since it is not highlighting the correct color in the code panel.

OnMouseOver In Anchor Tag
I understand that when applying html text to a textfield you can have an anchor tag call a specific function. My question, however, is if you can call a function on rollover of the anchor tag?

Example:

Instead of this...
<a href='asfunction:_root.test'>Click here to call the test function</a>

I'd like this...
<a href='' onMouseOver='asfunction:_root.test'>Rollover here to call the test function</a>

Thanks in advance!

Onmouseover Question
My appologies in advance for this question, as i'm sure its so basic its laughable.

Im using Adobe flash CS3 to make a new flash movie and i've been reading all the tutorials I can.

So far I have 4 objects each in their own layer that i've gotten to move across the screen from outside the screen on the left, to the center of the screen using a motion tween.

Now I want to have the flash stop at this point and listen for a mouseover.

If the mouseover is on object 1, I want to make object 2-4 move back to the left of the screen.

How do I do something like this?

I can figure most stuff out, but a hint in the right direction would be much appreciated. Basicly how can I make an object in another layer begin a motion tween when another object is onmouseover'd. ?

Thanks!

Onmouseover Confusion
When i make an "onmouseover" why does the the object which has to appear when mouse goes over the original button(on stage), becomes a button too ?
i put keyframes in down and hit states but the the object which has to appear on "onmouseover" appears but disappears on mouse down n hit state .
You'll understand my question more after lookin at the .fla.

Thankyou.

OnMouseOver Effect
Is there any code that works like the onMouseOver function on HTML pages? I wanted to use the Flash textfield capabilities to handle a menu and a enormous amount of content.

OnMouseOver Used With A Movieclip
I'm trying to keep all of my code on the timeline (not on a button). Is there a way to use onMouseOver on the timeline, or do I have to use hitTarget or an if/then with x/y coordinates?

Flash Drawing Onmouseover Instead Of Onclick

Hi, I'm trying to do this tutorial:http://www.actionscript.org/resource...ash/Page1.htmlbut I want the line to appear when the user doesn't click; just follow the cursor around. How can I achieve this? Thanks!
