Text Pop-up On Disjointed Rollover....

Text Pop-up On Disjointed Rollover....
I am attempting to make a picture dictionary for English-Russian. It's easier to learn foreign languages when you're able to associate pictures with words. Unfortunately, all picture dictionaries list the Russian words on the same page with the picture which makes it a bit more difficult to test your retention of the subject matter.

Anyway, I thought I'd do something in Flash to remedy this and have run into my first problem.....

I would like the English word to pop up at the bottom when you roll over a specific image. Then, when you click the image it will show the Russian translation in place of the English word.

However, I have no idea how to do this and haven't found anything on this particular subject.

Any help would be appreciated!


Here's a basic pic of what I'm attempting to do. Remember, this is BASIC!!

Disjointed Rollover?
Can somebody answer my question.

When you roll over a button, how can I make text appear in a different part of the movie with out the text being part of the button?

So basically, a disjointed rollover in Flash.

Thanx

Help-run A Swf From A Disjointed Rollover?
to run a swf in a seperate cel using a disjointed rollover in another cell, seems there are 4 approaches:
1) behavior "control flash" - which everyones seems to say still does not work even in MX
2) use FS command in flash to launch different frame actions - I want to use cells
3) use Layer commands - too scary
4) bundle all cells insid a big swf - too slow a download

Trying to just find a javascript call, if behaviors won't work


The idea here is to make text scroll in to explain different elements on a diagram pic
Each swf has image animations & text

my working site is:
www.terawave.com/indexNOW.htm
on this example: a rollover on the top blue box
would cause the 3 swf's below it to re-run,
so the behavior / control / run would seem a beaut, but wont' work according to
dozens of posts on dm exchange, dreamweaver forums, & google/DW forum

thanks again, guys

Disjointed Rollover Problems
My flash button is not behaving the way I expect. The button is located on the left side of the stage. If I hover over the button, the 'over' state displays an image on the right side of the stage (i.e. a disjointed rollover). However, the image also appears if I hover over it's area on the right side of the stage. I only want the image to appear if I hover over the button. How do I fix this? Thanks!

Javascript Type Disjointed Rollover
I'm new to Flash MX and am working hard to learn the ropes along with the lingo. Any help for a newbie would be greatly appreciated.

I currently have built a movie that lasts for approximately 10 seconds for a website. At the end of the movie, I have three navigation buttons that pop up. The navigation buttons display text just to the right of the buttons location. The text changes as you roll over each button. The problem is that, once I move the mouse away from the button, the text disappears. To clairfy, the text appears when you roll over the button, and disappears when the mouse is not over the button. What I would like it to do is have the text appear when you roll over the button, and stay there until you roll over another button.

Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Disjointed Rollover In Flash - Newbie
Just started trying to learn flash and I've been asked by a friend to do some work on his website.

The site can be seen here http://www.bandits-rugby.co.uk/fitne...nge/index.html

The 6 images in the header are an image map and basically what I want to try and achieve is for the flash in the main part of the page to jump to the relevant point in the movie if the user rolls over the image in the top. e.g. if the mouse rolls over the guy in the wheelchair the flash would jump to the disabilities and rehabilitation part of the movie and stop there until the mouse either moves to another image in the header, in which case the movie jumps to the next scene etc or if the mouse moves out of the header completely the flash movie starts playing...hope that explains what I want to achieve!

Does anyone know if this can be achieved. As I said I've only just started learning Flash so as much detail would be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

At bottom of the screen I have an image that is a block of graphical text

Disjointed Animated Buttons
ok ok I have learned the basics of a animated button...now I need to know how to do this...example...

2 buttons, one red and one green. I want it so that when I click on the red button it makes the green button animate.

The main problem I am having is understanding how you can place a action on the red button that tells the green button to animate/play movieclip

Roll-over, Double Disjointed..?
Hi guys,

I have a 'double disjointed roll-over', don't I (check attached file, never mind crappy design)..?

Q1. Now I need to keep the submenu to stay, so users are able to choose them, and to show where they are at, once they made their choice.

Q2. I want to use this nav in an HTML-page. Will the Flash-navbar keep it's state without further ado..? Or do I need to pass variables or something complicated..?

Thanks,

Freek, Amsterdam

Disjointed Code Blues
I've made the switch from AS 2.0 to AS 3.0. I can pretty much get my game working, and it runs much faster than the same thing would under 2.0. You'd think I'd have nothing to complain about, right?

But I can't help it. I really miss the simplicity of new.onEnterFrame = Function. Now it's like my update function is inside a seperate AS file, with the class definition, and I have to call tempEnemy.update() once per frame. Only, nothing inside the class can see outside the class, so I can't just do like this.angle=lookAtPlayer(this) anymore. In order for objects to interact with each other in any menaingful way, I need the eyes, ears, and a large portion of the brains of the objects to exist in the main program loop, outside the AS file.

I thought OOP was supposed to make code more compartmentalized? this.onEnterFrame() = function(){tryToKillThePlayer(this);} was compartmentalized. All I had to do was make my Thing, spawn it, and it would work. All the code for my Thing was in Thing.onEnterFrame, which was defined anew every time I attached a Thing to the screen. AI, collision detection, all in one place. Compartmentalized.

Now my Thing's brains are strewn all over the main timeline (or in a game.as file if I were massochistic enough to eschew the timeline approach,) with some scraps of basic functionality tucked into the class. And this is supposed to be MORE compartmentalized?

And that's to say nothing of variable names. My god. Instead of just going thing.health=100 in the main timeline (which i understand now results in a MEMORY LEAK unless you follow some byzantine delete protocol... it didn't cause a memory leak before; why would it now? OMG THEY ADDED A BUG) first I have to add a health variable to my class. Then I have to make it private, and add getters and setters. BUT WAIT! The getters and setters need to have UNIQUE NAMES, so I have to call the internal variable thingHealth or something, if I want the public interface to use the keyword "health."

In other words, the programmer who writes the class file and the programmer who writes the main game code MUST use different variable names, even though they mean the same thing. That means if I'm the ONLY person working on my game, I need to remember to use health in my main timeline and Thing1Health in the Thing1 class, Thing2Health in the Thing2 class, etc. Seperate keywords means seperate implementations... I can't even copypaste code from existing objects to create new objects! What the hell ever happened to code reuse? I'm not just reinventing the wheel, here, I'm making up new words for ROUND so that I CAN re-invent the wheel.

I can only assume that I'm doing it wrong. I thought OOP was supposed to be all about compartmentalized code and code reuse, but so far the transition from 2.0 to 3.0 is only making my code messier, harder to understand, it takes three times as many lines to implement the same ideas, and I don't think I'll be able to reuse these classes in future games without basically rewriting parts of them.

It is blisteringly fast in terms of code execution, though, so I'll of course keep using it. I just don't get this whole "outside looking in" paradigm. I know how to comply with it, I just don't like or appreciate it.

Someone please tell me what the deal is. Or if I'm using it wrong, then explain how I can neatly and concisely pack my monster's graphics, code, and interactive behavior into a single class file.

Photo Gallery Is Disjointed On Initial View

Get RollOver Event On Pure Text Without Having To Convert Text Into Mc Or Bt?
Is there a way of acheiving mouse over (pure) text triggering action?
(Reason: externally loaded text can be made as links and trigger effects on the fly)

I've been through the macromedia actionscript dictionary, the addeventlistener function does not work for me (or maybe i'm just too stupid).

Please DO NOT suggest converting text to movie clip or button if you can't solve my problem. But if you do have an answer, many many thanks in advance.

Detect Rollover Of Certain Text In Text Field?
Is it possible to detect a rollover of a hyperlink in an html-enabled text field? I'm familiar with the link event of the TextField class to program clicks of hyperlinks, but can anything be done with a rollover?

My intention is to show hint text (glossary term definition) of a term when the user rolls over that particular word (which would be underlined) in a paragraph.

Any ideas, or alternatives?

If I can determine the location of the text (such as a box that defines the regiong on the word), I could maybe add a button over the text... I'm not sure.

Text Rollover In Dynamic Text Field
I've used asfunction in an <a href> link in a text field, but I'm looking for a way to call a function on rollover of certain words in the text.

Is this possible inside Flash without the use of any outside scripts (e.g.: Javascript)?

Thanks!

Text Rollover That Stays With Text
How do you create a rollover hot spot that is linked to a specific text character or word? We have word definitions that appear on rollover in a pop up window. However, our programs are translated, and when the text moves, we have to move all of our rollover boxes. Is there anyway to "attach" the box to the text? Can text be made into a rollover?

Thanks.

Text Rollover (Text Not Clickable, Why?)
Hello,

I have a quick flash rollover question. I have a text rollover in flash but the text is not clickable but the hit area I created around it is. I need the text to be clickable too.

I believe it's some sort of onion skin option that needs to be chosen. I've done it before but I forgot. Please give instructions in the email or send a link. Thanks!!!

Text Rollover
Hello...
I was wondering how to go about creating a rollover state with text, say for a grammar exercise, where the user would be instructed to rollover a particular part of a reading and when they do this a window comes up telling them what part of speech it is.
Thanks for the help...

[F8] On Rollover Text
Hello there all.

I wanted to make some dynamic text load when you roll over a button. My script looks like this:

on (rollOver) {
dtext.Text = "Option1 - will take you here";
}

on (rollOut) {
dtext.Text = "";
}

"dtext" is the var name of the dynamic text feild.

The problem is when the file plays "_level0.dtext" shows in the dynamic text field.

And it works when I roll over the button, but when I roll out it doesn’t clear.

How can I fix this?

Thanks,

RSB

Rollover, And Text Boxes
I only started learning flash a short while ago, and have tried to make some flash buttons. Anyway, the buttons are on a bar, that has a text box on it.
What I want to do, is make it so that when I roll the mouse over the buttons, text is displayed in the text box, telling you where the button will take you.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Rollover On Dynamic Text
Hi,

I would like to generate rollover effect on a dynamic text (some words on the text).
The text would come from XML data, parsed by flash.

Let me explain:

Here is the XML

Code:
<myxml>
<mytext>
<p>Hi i'm here</p>
<p>Helooo i'm still <myroll text="yeah">there</myroll></p>
</mytext>
</myxml>


What I want is parse the XML, then assign the content of <mytext> in a dynamic text area. In this text area, moving the mouse over the text "there" (between <myroll> element) will throw the text "yeah" in a rollover effect.

I'm able to do everything, how to parse the XML, make the text area in action script.

The big problem comes from the creation of the rollover effect throwing "yeah". I don't have any idea how to make it in actionscript. I might create an invisible button but I don't know how to position it...

Any idea would be appreciate.
Thx for your time.

Text Appears Before On(rollover)
Dear all,

I'm using the following code to have a button that can toggle a set text over an input box:

on(rollover){
captionMC._visible = 1
}
on(rollout){
captionMC._visible = 0
}

I want users to be able to see the set text when they decide to press the button.

Ideas anyone? Take a look at what I've done.

RollOver Text Field
Here's my dilemma..

I have some html links inside a dynamic text field, which are inside a movie clip. I have this movie clip animated on the stage.

Now what I need to happen is... when you roll over this movie clip it stops, and when you roll out it continues. But I also need the html links to be clicked on.

I tried putting a button inside the movie clip with 'on rollOver/rollOut' actions. But if I put the button on the layer above the text links than you can't click the links. and if you put the button behind the links than it continues to play when you roll over the links.

Any ideas of how I can make this work? please?

Text On Button With Rollover
This is silly. I have done this many times, today it is not working.

I start with a box, make it into a raphic, make that into a button, double click the button, add keyframes to over click and hit, make a new layer, add keyframe to over, set text.

Only the parts of the button around the text are active, and not the area containing the text (the mouse pointer turns from an arrow to a vertical line when it passes over the text.

grr.

Bold Text On Rollover
I cannot seem to get my text to go to bold on a rollover. I have a simple movieclip, which has a Static Text Field inside. On the movieclip instance at the root of the site, I have

on (rollOver) {

this.TextBold.bold = true;
//textbold is the name of instance of the textfield object
}

on (rollOver) {

this.bold = true;

}

Not sure why this is not working. The text is set as statictext and is not broken up

Thanks

Text For Links And Rollover
Im using text input tool for my links. When I run the movie file and rollover the text it changes the cursor to the little hand click icon for each letter. This is annoying.... Im sure its just a matter of converting the text to something. Anyone know what it is? thanks

Ive used input text for my links... I make a copy of each link only the 2nd copy was in bold. Id like to have the effect that when I rollover the nonbold text it would show the bold text. Im assuming ill have to convert the text to something... i dont know what (was hoping you could help me on that one) and then I need to enter the actionscript. I can get the rolloverpart but im not sure what comes after that.
