Flash :: Hovering Square - Dynamic Animation

Dynamic Text Field Won't Change Color When Hovering
Hi,

I attached my .fla file (I think) which contains the problem.
It contains a dynamic textfield with hyperlinks. I want this link to change its color when a rollover occurs.
I thought I could just swap the last frame of my MC with a graphic which contains the rollover, but this doesn't work and I can't figure out why

How Do You Make A Dynamic Square
Hi everyone,
Quick question. How might one go about making the following effect. A user can specify the dimensions of a box (width and height), and the movie clip which is a square to begin with automatically animates to the adjusted size. Any help and insight would be much appreciated. Thanks
Don

Storing A Dynamic Animation To A Static Animation?
Hi there.

Is there a way to create a static animation out of a dynamic animation?

Like this;
If I create a random "starfield" effect, and want it to be exactly the same every time - can I somehow store the animation to a swf or create automatic actionscript FROM the randomness I've already created?

Would be nice to know

How To Create Static Animation From Dynamic Animation?
Hi there.

If I have created a dynamic animation (placing 100 raindrops on a stage using a for-loop), how can I create a static animation out of this that I can use in a animation?

The reason for asking, is that I want to create a flash-video for TV, and for that I can't use movieclips or dynamic content at all...

So I appreciate any help

Samuel

De Ole "dynamic Resizing Of A Square" ...
I have a square that is being dynamically resized depending on which button is selected. The problem is that when it resizes it resets the original size of the symbol and tweens from that size and not the previous size it had tweened from (Did that make sense?!) So the box jumps between transitions and does not go from dimension to dimension smoothly.

Also I wanted to add some velocity and elasticity to the transitions.

Here's the code on each clip (I'm not a AS guy. I read this in a post and tried it on my own) ....
code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// Set dimensions and speed and more
w = 200;
h = 150;
xpos = 100;
ypos = 150;
speed = 5;
// Move the thing
this._width += (w-this._width)/speed;
this._height += (h-this._height)/speed;
}

I've included the file in case my assessment of the issue was too confusing.

Looking forward to enlightenment ...

Thanks

Hovering Problem
I don't think I am using levels right.

I have a button with this script:

code: on (rollOver) {
_level1_root.drgmenu.t = 1;
startDrag(_level1_root.drgmenu.handb, true);
Mouse.hide()
}
on (rollOut) {
_level1_root.drgmenu.t = 0;
startDrag(_level1_root.drgmenu.handb, false);
Mouse.show()
}
on (press) {
startDrag(_level1_root.drgmenu);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
startDrag(_level1_root.drgmenu.handb, true);
}

and a movieclip that is getting followed when hovered:

code: onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_level1_root.drgmenu.t==1) {
_level1_root.drgmenu.handb._alpha = 90;
} else {
_level1_root.drgmenu.handb._alpha = 0;
}
}

It works when I use it once, but when I have similar movieClip with this in it, it freaks up. I tryed levels, but can't get it right. It works if I use it only once in the movie.

Hovering Captions
i did a search and found a tutorial on how to create a hovering or floating caption over a button. i used these AS's -
....button...
on (rollOver) {
_root.x = 1;
_root.caption.words = "the words that load into the dynamic text box.";
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.x = 0;
_root.caption.words = " ";
}
....captions movie clip....
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.x==1) {
this._alpha = 50;
} else {
this._alpha = 0;
}
}
....first frame of the movie....
startDrag(_root.caption, true);

it doesnt really work though---i think there may be a conflict with instace names and i am going to double check all that after i finish this post. i had it sort-of working at one point but (and this is where my real question lies) - my button is pretty big (a photograph) but i want some way to have the caption follow the mouse so its hovering but i want to constrain its movements, like have an imaginay box constraining where the captions move...i hope this is clear...is there a way to do this...i hop this makes sense. thanks in advance

3D Hovering Problem
Hi all,

I've been having a really tricky problem with hover states using papervision 3D. Please have a look at my example here:

http://seo.propserver4.com/_tests/slider_3d.html

It seems to work fine:
When you rollover a block, it lifts and stops the current row from sliding
When you rollout from the block, it drops and the row continues to slide again

But my problem is as follows:

Try rolling-over a block on the nearest row - say the letter "M". Then try rolling over the next block behind it. You should notice that in some cases the block you just rolled off will start bouncing off the mouse cursor before it has chance to fall completely.

Looks kind of annoying doesn't it!

So I tried a whole load of ways to stop this - like creating a dictionary of up/down - lifting/dropping states for each block to try and ignore a block's rollover listener while its dropping, etc.

The problem with this was that because im using a bounce tween, the falling block takes focus 3 or 4 times (as it drops) away from the next block I rolled-over - giving the over all effect of both blocks just dropping

Has anyone come across something similar to this situation? I just want it so that whatever block I rollover - then all others drop and the currently rolled-over block stays up.

Here is a code snippet of my class - the event listeners are as simple as this:

Code:
private function blockOver(e:InteractiveScene3DEvent):void {
var block:DisplayObject3D = e.target.parent as DisplayObject3D;

// Find out which row to pause
var tmp:Array = block.name.split("_");
pauseRow = tmp[1];

Tweener.addTween(block, {
rotationY:90,
time:0.5,
transition:"easeOut"
});
}

private function blockOut(e:InteractiveScene3DEvent):void {
var block:DisplayObject3D = e.target.parent as DisplayObject3D;
pauseRow = -1;

Tweener.addTween(block, {
rotationY:0,
time:1,
transition:"easeOutBounce"
});
}
Many thanks for any help, very much appreciated!
Seb

Hovering Effect
Anyone know where I can find a script that will make an mc appear to be hovering? I have looked around and if there are any I can't find them. At least not for what I am looking for.

I guess the effect would look like some anti gravity device is keeping it in the air. It may float left and right up and down but stays in the general area within maybe 10px.

I have been working on a script of my own but it is causing a popup error that wants to know if I want to abort the script. And when I can make that go away the movement is too stiff and harsh.

It'd be great to wrap this script up in a function so I can use it on other timelines for different mc's.

Thanks!!

Hovering Message Above Button
Hi People!

Does anybody know how to have an object (Graphic, MC, whatever) follow your mouse when you rollover a button.

For example, on some sites, when you rollover a button it will have a message/help tip that hovers over the button, and moves with the mouse as long as the mouse is in the hit state area of the button.

Anybody know how its done?

Cheers.

Hovering Over Button Issues
In designing buttons for my band's page at

http://www.trollcookies.com/TC/index.html

I've come across an annoying issue.
The buttons are coloured circles and when you hover over them they're supposed to display the text description of that button.
At the moment, only the first and the last circle or set for that.

However, now when I hover over the area where the text is supposed to appear for those descriptions, to the left of the buttons, the text appears as if they're part of the buttons.

I know why this is occuring (I'm putting the text in at the "over" section of the button) but I don't know how to correct it or if there's a better way.

Hovering Captions/scene Changes?
hi there, i used the http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/captions.htm tutorial on displaying hovering captions, and as you can see, http://abtrock.com/notaloser/site.html << everything went okay.

right now, the preloader, the flatlinefx thing doesnt fill up, but its loading

however, click on the guitar, Keeley, The Severn River Song, or the sailboat. they will all bring you to the same page for now, then press the back button. as soon as you return to the home page, my mc is displayed there, following the mouse with no text in it... as soon as you mouseover a button again, it will perfrom normally...

how can i get it so that after it leaves the scene (keeley) and returns to the home scene, that the mc will not appear following the mouse?

thanks

Movie And Hovering Caption
Ok, I feel really dumb, but I have tried a bunch of different stuff to try and fix this, and I keep getting the same results :-

I have a movie playing. It just loops forever within the scene. I NEED to have a caption hover over the movie. Details about when it shows up and leaves and stuff is under-control for me. My problem is that I cannot seem to get the hovering capture movie to show up ABOVE the other movie that is playing (and also dynamically loading jpgs in case you were interested).

I have tried swapping the depth. Even if the caption movie is smaller than the other movie, it is the only thing that shows up. Without swapping depths, the caption movie seems to play perfectly, with the exception that it is doing everything BEHIND the movie that it should be in FRONT of.

Seems like there should be an easy solution, and I keep not getting it. I hope I made sense. If you need clarification, please ask. Thanks in advance!
