Rollover Button Effect
Hi guys, what I'm looking for is the effect where when you mouseover a button a separate mc becomes visible and follows your _xmouse and _ymouse while you are hovering over the button.

Possibly with a hitTest() and something else?

Can anyone help?

Button Rollover Effect
Help! I want to rollover the button I made and have text appear next to it. I've done that...but, when the button first appears the text shows for a brief second, which I don't want. I just want the button to be visible, not the text, until a user does a mouse over.

I attached the file. I use Flash 5.

Button RollOver Effect
The roll over effect for my buttons happens before the mouse is over the actual button itself. If someone could take a look at my fla and help me figure out what is wrong, that would be great.

The problem is on the "Photos" page. The small thumbnails on the right hand side are the buttons with the rollover effect. Currently only the first thumbnail has the rollover set.

I use flash 9

[F8] Button Rollover Effect
http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/9...angaur5.th.jpg

So when i roll over the button home, I want the blue bar to slide over to the other side of it.
And when i roll off it slides back, I know how to do that but.
When i go to archive. How cna i make the blue bar go down to that word then slide over?

To make it more clear
I want it so that when u roll over the button "home" the blue bar goes over it with a tween but when u roll out it goes back then when u roll over archive. it moves down with the _y and goes over onto the _x just like home of the archive link.

this is my code for buttons right now


import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

var mc_arr = [Home_btn,Me_btn,Archive_btn];
var counter = 0;

function tweenIn_intro(target_mc:MovieClip){

var image1_a:Tween = new Tween(target_mc, "_alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 100, .5, true);
image1_a.onMotionFinished = function() {
counter = (counter < mc_arr.length-1) ? counter+1 : mc_arr.length;
tweenIn_intro(mc_arr[counter]);
};



}

function tweenIn(target_mc:MovieClip){
var image_rollon:Tween = new Tween(target_mc, "_alpha", Regular.easeIn, 100, 20, 1, false);
}
Home_btn.onRollOver = function(){ tweenIn(this); }
Me_btn.onRollOver = function(){ tweenIn(this); }
Archive_btn.onRollOver = function(){ tweenIn(this); }

function tweenOut(target_mc:MovieClip){
var image_rolloff:Tween = new Tween(target_mc, "_alpha", Regular.easeIn, 20, 100, 1, false);
}
Home_btn.onRollOut = function(){ tweenOut(this); }
Me_btn.onRollOut = function(){ tweenOut(this); }
Archive_btn.onRollOut = function(){ tweenOut(this); }



tweenIn_intro(mc_arr[counter]);

Urgent Help Needed/toggle Sound Mute With Rollover Button AS3
I am currently working on an animation with a band soundtrack. The animation loads 5 sound objects, 1 being the full soundtrack playing and 4 being the singled out instruments (muted) of the band. All 5 sounds are synchronized. There are 4 buttons representing each of the instruments and I want to mute the main sound and un-mute the instrument the button represents by rolling over and reverse this on rolling out.
This is the script i used to make the sounds play:

import flash.media.SoundChannel;
var sc:SoundChannel=new SoundChannel();
sc=new soundtrack().play();
sc.soundTransform=new SoundTransform(1);
sc=new trumpet().play();
sc.soundTransform=new SoundTransform(0);
sc=new guitar().play();
sc.soundTransform=new SoundTransform(0);
sc=new drums().play();
sc.soundTransform=new SoundTransform(0);
sc=new contrabass().play();
sc.soundTransform=new SoundTransform(0);

Anyone can help with the button scripts please?

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,

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.

Simple Button Rollover Help?
Hi all I cannot seem to get my movie to work the way I would like for it to...... I want to create a button rollover like those seen on http://www.newstoday.com .

So i got the masking, and the reverse MC script in there and it seems to work, however I can't get it to run quite right...it jitters back and forth?!

The movie contains 1 Mclip with a instance name "butt" which is on the stage in the main timeline, and here is the code on the first frame of the main timeline.


Code:
butt.onRollOver = function() {
mOverStatus = true;
};
butt.onRollOut = function() {
mOverStatus = false;
};
stop();
simple enough, here is the code within the "butt" MC on a empty Mclip....


Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
function playBackward() {
if (0<_parent._currentframe) {
_parent.gotoAndStop((_parent._currentframe-1));
}
}
function playForward() {
if (_parent._currentframe<_parent._totalframes) {
_parent.gotoAndStop((_parent._currentframe+1));
}
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.mOverStatus) {
if (_parent._currentframe<8) {
playForward();
} else {
playBackward();
}
} else {
if ((_parent._currentframe>0) && (_root.mOverStatus == false)) {
playBackward();
} else {
playForward();
}
}
}
lol...looking at that code I realize that it is ridiculous with all the if/else loops, anyone have a better schema?

So if anyone is bored here is the .fla for a more precise look at what I am tryingto achieve!

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

Grtz,

Button Rollover Video Effect Not Always Working
[ACTIONSCRIPT 2]

I'm working on the following effect, where a button rollover causes a small video of sparkles to start playing.

My problem is that most of the time the video will play fine when rolled over, but there are some times - enough to be annoying - that it does not.

I have attached my files sparkle.fla and sparkle.flv to this message (inside of sparkle.zip) and the latest version can be viewed here:

http://www.simobile.com/sparkle/sparkle.html

It's using the FLVPlayback component, whereas the original I am basing it on used NetStream, attachVideo etc. That's here:

http://theflashblog.com/?p=63

That seems to fire the video effect every time on rollover. I have decompiled some of the code from that, and placed it at the end of this message, along with an excerpt from my code of the onRollOut, OnRollOver handlers.

Can anybody pass along any advice as to why the rollover video effect is not always firing in my version? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Excerpt of code from original:

var ns = new NetStream(_root.nc);
v.v.attachVideo(ns);
ns.play("sparkle.flv");
ns.pause(true);
ns.onStatus = function (info)
{
if (info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop")
{
v._visible = false;
} // end if
};
b.onRollOver = function ()
{
v._visible = true;
ns.seek(0);
ns.pause(false);
};

An excerpt from my code:

mcSideMenu.onRollOver = function()
{
this.gotoAndStop(2);

mcContainer.myVideo.play();
};

mcSideMenu.onRollOut = function()
{
this.gotoAndStop(1);

mcContainer.myVideo.stop();
};

Creating A Rollover Effect Without Using Button Controls PLEASE HELP
HELP!!!

I need to be able to have a movie clip gotoAndStop(2) within the clip (i have a MC acting like a rollover button). But whenever I use a rollover command it makes flash think the MC is a button and won't allow me to click on the dynamically loaded links and text. The only way i see around this is to use an if statement, but i don't know what kind of if statement to use. If anyone has an idea on how to make this work please let me know...

I want to have frames change from within the MC when it is rolled over but without using button commands...they kill my dynamically loaded text and links. PLEASE HELP!!! PLEASE !!!

Simple Button Rollover Problem
Hey Guy's ;

Every time I test the movie, I roll over the button, the dropdown works, then when I try to rollover the dropdown to the sub menu buttons, it dissapears again. I'm using an anim on the overstate frame, and it's prolly something real simple but I'm missing it. FLASHMX

[F8] Simple Button Rollover Actionscript
Hi,

I'm using AS2.

I want to rollover a button and a movie clip to appear in a different location.

This is the action script


onRollOver = function() {
my_mc._visible = true;
}

onRollOut = function() {
my_mc._visible = false;
}


In the main timeline I have
my_mc._visible = false;

To make it invisible until rolled over.

Sorry this is very basic but the error it comes up with is this:

**Error** Symbol=layer1, layer=Layer 7, frame=1:Line 3: Statement must appear within on handler
onRollOver = function() {

**Error** Symbol=layer1, layer=Layer 7, frame=1:Line 7: Statement must appear within on handler
onRollOut = function() {

Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2


Thankyou to anyone who can help!

Simple Button Help Needed
I want to make a simple round button that glows when you mouse over it and depresses when you click it.

Apparently to do this I need to use Filters to make the glow and bevels. But Filtersonly work on movie clips, buttons and text.

So I make a circle and convert it into a button symbol (Btn1). Then I make another button symbol (Btn2) and use the first button symbol (Btn 1) on the Up Over and Down frames of Btn 2. Assorted Filters are applied to Btn 1 on the Up Over and Down frames to get the effects I want.

I test the button (Btn2) using Enable Simple Buttons. It works perfectly - glows on mouse over and depresses on click. Then I try Test Movie -- and the button doesn't work!!!

Not does it work when exported as a SWF file!!!

I watched a tutorial video that came with my Flash Pro 8 Hands-On-Training (HOT) book and he used pretty much the same technique -- except he only tested his button with Enable Simple Buttons. I'll bet my house his didn't work with Test Movie either!

The stupid thing, is I was just able to achieve exactly what I wanted very quickly using LiveMotion 2!

What is wrong here? Why is it so impossible to create a glow button in Flash? Why has it been easy in Live Motion for years?

All help appreciated!

Thanks

Simple Xml Button Help Needed
Hello,

I'm new to flash and it seems I may be an idiot too!

This is all I want to accomplish. I have three simple round buttons on the stage, its not a menu per se, its just buttons. Instead of doing the getURL to link to a webpage I would like to use a separate XML file to set the urls for each button. I don't need to change the text on the button so I don't need to use a dynamic text field, I don't need to add different buttons later, all I have is the 3 buttons. And all I want is to be able to change the link without needing to edit the flash file, just the xml.

I've tried searching and apparently you can't search for "xml" because it's too common or too short to search for. I've gone thru and have done a few tutorials, I can load the xml file and create a dynamic menu, I just can't figure out how to change things around in those tutorials to do what I want. (thats where I'm an idiot part comes in)

This should probably be simple for someone who has a working brain, unlike me, so if you know how, help a brotha' out will you! And please explain it like I'm 5 years old ("put this on your buttons, put this in your xml file").

Thanks so much.

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.

Simple Navigation With Button Rollover Or Release
I'm working in FlashMX2004
When the user clicks a button, I want the playback head to jump to another frame on the main timeline (which contains a submenu.)
I tried copying and pasting script from a button instance from another project, where it functions perfectly.

cal2pt1.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 10);
};

I changed the instance name at the beginning of this script (to the instance name of the button in the new project, and the frame number. But this script doesn't work at all in my new movie, even though I'd swear I'm using it in an identical, simple context. I've triple checked the instance name including upper/lower case. Also I get an error message-
"Statement must appear within on handler"

I've also tried instead attaching an instance script to the button that reads:
on(release) {
gotoAndPlay(5)
}
I get no error message for that, but nothing happens when you click on the button in the exported swf.

I would also like to have a successfully functioning script, where a user rollsover a given button and the playback head junps to specific frame in the timeline.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
(I can't believe I'm so stuck on something so simple, oh well).
thanks!

[FMX] Simple Button Cherry Checker Help Needed
Hello,

I just started playing with flash yesterday, so thanks for bearing with me.

Basic Button Description: A small cube with an 'up' color of (the cherry, i.e. unclicked, color) white.

Issue:

Once the user clicks on the button, I want to change the original ('up') cherry color from white to grey.

I'm not concerned with the 'over' color...

I struggled a bit with using a 'cherry' movie (in an overhead layer) thinking I could set the initial alpha property from 0 to 100 onpress in the 'down' frame of the button, but alas...no joy.

Thanks for the breadcrumb.

Simple Script For Great Button Effect
Hi,

Please take a look at the button effect on the Macromedia site: http://www.macromedia.com/desdev/. For instance the PRODUCTS button.

I imagine this effect consists of a button and a mc (the blue fade in/fade-out effect). I wonder how the script is. The statement for the on-state of the button is pretty easy (tell target, MC, gotoandplay etc. after which the blue colour fades in) but the thing is that once the mouse isn't on the Over state of the button anymore, the mc is still being called (to fade out).

So I made a button. Then, after inserting a second layer in the button, I put on that layer on the Over and Down state keyframes containing the mc named "blue". That mc has frame 1 till 5 (stop action) that fades the blue colour in and frame 6 till 10 (stop action) that fades the blue colour out.

I guess you need these two elements... but I can't figure out how to make the effect work like in the example.

Thanx for your lesson!

Warm regards,
Michiel

Blink Rollover Effect On Rollover
- i have three layers within the OVER state of a button (layer1, layer2, layer3)

- layer 3 has a rollover fade in effect for my button
- layer 2 has a blinking effect for my button
- layer 1 is the canvas of my button

I just want layer 3 to animate 1 upon rollover but has layer 2 keep on blinking while the user has its cursor on the OVER state of the button.

I have the "stop();" actionscript function for the rollover fade effect on my layer 3 but it stops everything! I want the layer 2 effect to continue the blinking.

I have tried extending the keyframe time on layer 2 but that didnt work.

Anything else I should try?

Trying To Make A Button Rollover, Wait And Recheck Rollover
hi. i'm mostly comfortable with the graphical elements of using flash and there a gaps in my knowledge when i want to polish things up.

i have a bunch of buttons which, when rolled over, trigger some text to sweep accross in an area above the buttons and sweep away when rolled out.
this works nicely but if the viewer sweeps the mouse over a few buttons quickly all the MCs with text in play and it gets very messy.

the only way i can think to tidy this up is to make the button delay when rolled over and recheck about half a second later. if it's still rolled over then it plays the MC. i tried this the obvious way (triggering a small MC with onRollover > play MC at the end) but it needs the actual act of rolling over to trigger so i had to roll out and over again which defies the point >.<

i realise this is a really specific problem and it's very cheeky to ask others to solve my problems but if any of you have come accross similar problems and can point me in a better direction i'd really appreciate it.

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/rollout Help Needed
I'm a fairly new "Flasher"...using Flash MX (version 6)...and am trying to build an intro for my personal website http://www.naffskingdom.com and am having a great deal of difficulty getting the effect I'm lookng for. I would like to create a button containing an embedded movie that starts and stops onRollover and rollout. Could you please look at my file and steer me in the right direction? Knowing what I've done wrong can be just as helpful as knowing how to do it correctly. I would like to have both as I am thoroughly confused by now.

I guess I'll have to send the .fla via email or IM...When I tried to post this request with the .fla attached, I got a VB prompt saying the file is too big...it's 6.28KB.

Alpha RollOver Help Needed
Hi

I’m trying to get multiple instances of box_mc to fade out when the mouse is rolled over and then to fade back up once it is rolled off. The problem is I need about 30 boxes so I want the code to be on the timeline rather than the mc. I can get this to work with one box using onEnterFrame but when applied to onRollOver it only reduces the alpha by 5 – I know I need to loop the code I guess with an } else { but not sure how to do it???

The harder bit is I then need some code to make other instances of box_mc also have the code applied to them and if any of the clips are pressed the movie jumps to another scene. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is my onEnterFrame attempt;

box_mc._alpha = 90;

box_mc.onEnterFrame = function ()
{this._alpha -= 5;
if (this._alpha <= 10)
{
this._alpha = 10;
this.onEnterFrame = undefined;
}
}


Thanks - itchyjam

[CS3] Rollover Flash Help Needed
Ok so I've been doing HTML for a little while and decided to get into Flash. I've been trying a bunch of different tutorials and googleing myself to death. I'm a newb to this so I need some help. I've made a small swf movie and I want it to play as someone rolls their mouse over it to preview the design model of a house, then make it so that they can click it at anytime. I've gotten it to rollover and begin to start playing, or I've gotten it to link, but no luck getting both to occur. I'm pretty lost and some tips and a little help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Help With "simple" Button Effect
I'm pretty sure this a pretty easy thing to do but for some reason I am drawing a blank...

I want to have it so when a button is clicked the actual button moves up on the page (and remains in it's new location). I know how to do a rollover but how do I make it so it does that when the user clicks the button?

Thanks
