Text Following Mouse?
Hi guys...

Donøt know if this is too newbie, anyway..
My problem is that I want to (in a simple way) make some text
follow my mouse. I'd like to show you an example:

http://www.just-eat.dk/

At just-eat.dk there is a map of denmark, when you move the mouse
over a region at the map it becomes yellow, and the area code appears.
I've already made a map with all the fading stuff, the only thing I can't
figure out how to make is the area code which appears when you have your
mouse over some region.

How do I solve my problem?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards

Text Follows Mouse
Hey, Guys!

I'm trying to create a string following the mouse, but actually not a string, but a text following the mouse, and then I found this:
http://www.a-to-s.co.uk/home.php
click on N and you'll see...
Theres's also one more thing... I need that the last letter in the text always stays at the same position... like if the letter was stuck in the ground for example and then you try to pull it, so all the text will be pulled by the mouse BUT the last letter, can you understand?

would you please help me? I need this for a graduation project
thanks in advance

Mouse Over Text Formatting
Okay, this'll probably prove my utter newbieness in Flash, but I'll ask it anyway for the sake of getting it out of my head.

I'm using Flash to write an autorun for a custom disc, but one thing I'm trying to do is a change in colour when a mouse goes over the text. It's a simple text field (either stable or dynamic), and I'm trying to set it up that it's initially one colour, then changes to a second once a mouse is put over it. If a third can be done for when it's pressed that would be better, but not necessary.

If a simple component can do it, then that'd be great; the simpler IMO the better. Otherwise, I think a simple bit of coding could do it. Only problem is learning Flash.

Mouse Over Text Effects
How on earth do I create a simple (should be simple, should'nt it...) mouse over effect on some plain text? I'm trying to make some text change font color when I move the mouse over it. Do someone have a simple (I'm a beginner as you might have guessed...) answer for this or maybe a link to some site where this is explained.

Mouse Over Text Zoom
I want to make my lines of text enlarge when a mouse rolls over each line and the nearest adjacent lines to gradually get smaller until the reach the main text block size. If i'm not making much sense the nearest example I can think of would be the way you drag your mouse over the aplications panel in mac osx...the icons enlarge as you roll your mouse over them.

I'd be grateful of any help.
Thankx

Dynamic Text With Mouse Lock
Hello everyone! I am making a links page for my site. What I have is a button for the URL link, and on rollover a description 'locks' to the mouse (like at safeplaces.net).

So for example, when I rollover 'www.flashkit.com' a description locks to the mouse of 'fun for all the family!'.

So I have a dynamic text variable within the mouse- locked movie, but this does not update. I have checked that the global variables work in other places in the movie and they update fine.

any thoughts? thanks guys.

Orbiting Text That Reacts To Mouse
What I'm looking for is an example or tutorial on how to create an orbit of different text fields that react to the mouse on(rollOver) so that which ever text field you put your mouse on, moves to the front of the orbit. My searches only bring up how to orbit individual characters of a word, but I want multiple words orbiting a sphere. I've seen it done before, and I'm pretty sure it was on Flash Kit, if anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated.

I'll keep trying the forum search which is timing out for me right now.

Thank you in advnace.

Help, Text Morphing While Mouse Over Link.
I know how to morph text..

My questions are:

How do you make the text morph (movie clip) start while the mouse is on a link button? How do you make the movie clip disappear after you have moved your mouse away from the button? And how do you make the last frame of the movie clip stay as long as the mouse is over the button?

What I want to do:
Say I have a button link to one of my pages, lets call this button "games". As I roll over "games" I want the movie clip to appear right beside it that morphs the text "main" to "games". As long as my mouse is over the button, the text "Games" will remain. But if I move my mouse away, it will disappear. If I roll over the button again, repeat movie clip from the beginning.

please help! thanks!

Actionscript For Scrolling Mouse In Text Box
I have a content area that has scroll back that work if you click on it and drag, I forgot though how to make it so the user can use their scroll wheel inside the text field. Help please..

Text Scrolling & Mouse Button
Hi, can anyone tell me how to change my text scrolling buttons so the text scrolls when the button is held down, currently I can only get it to scroll down one click at a time.

The code Ive got for the scrolling buttons is:

Up Button

on (press) {
this.news_txt.scroll -= 1;
}

Down Button

on (press) {
this.news_txt.scroll += 1;
}

Is it surely possible to add some additional actionscript to this to get the text to scroll when the mouse button is held down?

Thanks

Text Index From Mouse Position
Hi there

I would like to create some text effects based on the position of the mouse relative to a textField.

For example, i would like to make the letter in a sentence that the mouse is above larger.

I don't want to make the text selectable and i don't want the user to have to click, so i can't use the Selection.getCaretIndex() method to find the character that the mouse is over.

Is there a way of finding an index into my string based on the hovering mouse position?

Cheers

Hiding The Mouse Over Dynamic Text
Hey there

Does anyone know if it possible to hide the mouse pointer completely so that no cursor appears over a dynamic text item.

I replace the mouse pointer on my page using Mouse.hide(). This successfully hides the pointer on my PC. However - if the mouse passes over some dynamic text or input text units then the vertical text selection bar appears over the item i am replacing the pointer with. Very annoying.

has anyone had this problem before? Any ideas?

Cheers

How To Find Text Word Under The Mouse
Hi all,

I have a number of dynamic text boxes and I want to find out which word I am over with the mouse.

1. I could just as easy use input text, but I don't want to copy/paste, I would just simply like move the mouse over a word and some actionscript grabs it out of the text

2. Then send that word to somewhere, e.g. another text box or add a bit of code that gives me a translation from a text file

I can do 2, but I haven't figured out how to do 1.

I've been looking in the forum and I can't find what I need. If this has already been answered then could someone point me to it. If there is no easy way then I guess I'll just have to go with calculating the word under the mouse my using font sizes, left right margins etc

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Scrolling Text With Mouse Issues
Hi- new to the forum/flash and having problems with a custom scroll bar.

Website: click on Why Choose Us (it takes a second to load)

I would like the mouse on a PC to scroll the text the same way as the scrollball does when you click it and drag up and down on the scrollbar. Right now the text and scrollball move in the right direction when you mouse scroll but they do not stop and they do not move at the right speed to each other.

Any ideas? It's driving me nuts so any help is appreciated.

The text is not dynamic and just has a mask over it.

Code:
var scrollUpper:Number = 148.5;
var scrollLower:Number = 352.4;

var textLower:Number = 148;
var textUpper:Number = -129;

var scrollRange:Number = scrollLower-scrollUpper;
var textRange:Number = textLower-textUpper;

function scroll() {
var moved:Number = scrollball._y-scrollUpper;
var pctMoved:Number = moved/scrollRange;
var textMove:Number = pctMoved*textRange;
aucontent._y = textLower-textMove;
}

scrollball.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag(false, this._x, scrollUpper, this._x, scrollLower);
this.onMouseMove = scroll;
};
scrollball.onRelease = scrollball.onReleaseOutside=function () {
this.stopDrag();
this.onMouseMove = null; z
}

Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function(delta) {
aucontent._y += delta;
}
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);

Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function(delta) {
scrollball._y -= delta;
}
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
Thanks!!

No Hand Icon When Mouse Is Over Text
I have a MC which I'm using as a button. It has an image and a text box.
I've set it to button mode using:
bioLink.buttonMode = true;

When the mouse is over the MC it shows the hand icon when over the image, but not over the textbox. However, if the textbox is clicked, it still executes the button code. Is there a way to have the hand icon show when over the text as well?
Thanks.

How Can I Reveal Secret Text With My Mouse?
I have a potentially difficult task at hand. I will do my best to phrase my question in a way that will describe my goal effectively.

I have created an area within my flash website where there are two sets of lyrics for a song. I have the first set of lyrics visible and would only like to be able to view the second set of â€œsecretâ€ lyrics by hovering my mouse (which is changed into magnifying glass) over the lyrics.

Iâ€™ve got the drag command working for the mouse to change into my magnifying glass artwork. I just need help revealing the â€œsecretâ€ text.

Dynamic Text And Mouse Wheel
Hi all,
I use a dynamic text with a UIScrollBar component.
II set the "selectable" flag to false, cause I don't want the users to select the text, and I noticed that the mouse wheel doesn't work anymore. I suppose that the dynamic text doesn't get focused. Is it any other solution to work with the mouse wheel?

Thanks in advance
