Flash :: Trouble With Effects On Mouse Overs

Mouse Overs?
Hello all again,

Heres my next question. ive searched tutorials and whatnot but cant seem to figure out where these mouseovers in movies that ive downloaded from here come from. or for that matter how they work. whenever i try to find the action script involved with them its no where to be seen. if you dont know what i'm talking about its those light green clear boxes that some developers use for a mouse over i suppose. maybe im just being a complete idiot here, but why are these boxes not visible when the movie is playing as they are not fully "alphad". Thank you for your help once again

Links/mouse Overs
Yeah, very newbi question, but I was wondering, how do I make it so when you put your mouse over something (like a link) in flash MX, that it does something? Im not sure if this belongs in the action script part, but if it does, please move it.

Problem With Mouse Overs. Please Help
I have a movie clip in one area and the button that I want to control it in another area. THe movie is called "jackolantern." I want it so that when you mouse over the button, jackolantern goes to frame 160. This is my actionscript.

on (rollOver) {
with ("jackolantern") {
gotoAndStop(160);
}
}

When I do this, however,rolling over the button causes the button to disappear. (maybe it is telling the button to go to frame 160?)

Can anyone help please

Multiple Mouse Overs
I'm sure there must be a simple solution to this one!

I would like to make a single Flash movie with several invisible buttons. When the mouse is over a button it triggers a circle to radiate out, like a ripple in a pond from a stone.

My problem is I want all the buttons to work simultaneously so that if I mouse over all the buttons in quick succession they all radiate together and the circle overlap.

I can only seem to get either one or another button to work individually.

Thank you very much for your thoughts.

Mouse Overs Using Variables
I have a project I'm working on for a public transit system and I need to be able to not only create the map, showing all the transit routes and stops, but upon mouse-over I need to display the name of the stop and a link to click for more info. like at http://www.ci.davis.ca.us/gis/unitrans/index.cfm.

Basically, there are a ton of stops and I was wondering if anyone knows a way that I can set up the site so that I'm re-using one circuilar button for all the stops that triggers the 'alt tag' looking box that holds the name of the stop and the link to click for more details, which will be different for each stop. Can I set two variables, one for the stop name and one for the link then have those triggered and changed in the onMouseOver command for each circle or have the button speak to a container that will hold the variables and spit out the variable values for each stop on mouseover? I have basic knowledge of Flash and little knowledge of how to use variable so a full explaination or a sample .fla would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

Mouse Roll Overs
Hello All

I am (with my limited knowledge of ActionScript) trying to do a Flash thing where a user rolls the mouse over 24 different items. One by one when rolled over, their state changes to 'rolled over' When ALL 24 have been rolled over I need it to go to a 'congratulations' type screen.

I can make it so the 24 items have been rolled over (they are shown to be because the state changes) it's just how do I do a script saying something like 'when all 24 items have been rolled over, goto xxx'

Sounds simple, maybe it is!

Thanks in advance

Flash - Button And Mouse Overs
Alright, im looking for the best way to make it so:
Button 1-X
Hover over changes a picture in the middle of the screen
Clicking makes you go to x url... Which I can do.

Not sure how to make the hover over change a picture on the screen though.

I'll try to give a example... The main picture, and a link on the side, on the hover over, the picture will change, but nothing else will happen. But on click it goes to X url.

Noob Question - Mouse Overs

Thanks,
Donovan

Databases, Rows, Mouse Overs...
synopsis: i'm making a portfolio site in flash and would like to be able to use a database so i can easily add data. the database would contain one table, with several fields. i understand how to get this data into flash via php and mysql but here's what i don't know if i can do or not. i want the user to be able to click on a certain row of it and then have a gotoandplay to whatever frame the image is on, or if necessary change the width/height of the image and then display it. i'd also like to be able to change the color background of that certain row on mouse over. if anyone could help me at all with this it'd be greatly appreciated.

Messed Up Movie Clips/mouse Overs
It seems as though the mouseovers work fine when you go over them one by one. But when you start to go a little faster, they get all screwed up. You can see what I'm talking about at:

Would Like To Achieve An Effect Where An Image Follows Button Mouse-overs...
Hi, new to this board and hope to stick around

I only recently started using Flash and it's one helluva hard program to use so bear with me... =p

The effect I'm trying to get is say you have two buttons initially, A and B and a square box in the middle of them. When the user hovers over A, the square box shoots over and outlines the button. If the user hovers over B, the box goes over to that button and outlines it.

Basically having a graphic image following orders from a button mouse over action. I have NO clue how to do this so any help is appreciated =p.

Simple Flash Image Mouse Overs With Links
In short I am not a "flash guy" but I do have it as part of my CS3 package.

I have a projects where I would like to create some simple flash navigation..

A basic background image with mouse overs that will allow the user to click on them and get linked to another page.

Picture an interactive amusement park map and your there.

I'm wondering how hard this would be to do in flash and if someone can give me the guidance I'd like to give it a go. If its to messy I'll look for another solution.

In short I'm looking for advice and direction.

Thanks

Trouble Getting 2 Effects To Work In Same Frame
Attempting to create an interactive menu. Each menu item is text. I want to be able to roll over the text and have it do one thing, and if I press it, I want it to do another. Trouble is, I can only get one event to work. I've tried everything I can think of. Here's an example: OnRollover, goto frame 55, then OnPress, goto URL.

Any suggestions? Here is the page and a link to download the swi file. What I want is for each item to wave OnRollover, and go to the URL OnPress

Trouble Accessing External Actionscript Effects
I've been working on updating my portfolio website and came across a photo transition on FFiles that uses an external tween actionscript to color tween a series of photos in a mc (see link below). However, as I was dissecting the files to see how they work and how I could use them for my purposes, they would not work after publishing the .swf file. The original .swf file works fine when run on Flash player, but if you try and add your own photos or graphics and re-publish the color effects are lost. Working with external actionscripting and calling them to effect my image transitions is new to me, but would work great for the website I'm working on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Trouble Importing Flash Animation Into After Effects
Hello,

I am having trouble with a 30 second Flash animation for a television commercial. The animation will overlay footage and the production house needs to incorporate my animation using After Effects. I hope someone can help me...

I know next to nothing about After Effects, and the tests I have done on the trial version trying to bring in swf files have been less than encouraging.

The flash file is an actionscript-controlled lip-sync animation with limb and body movements animated in the timeline.
Initially I thought it would be safest to export the movie as a series of PNG files with alpha channels for transparency but the export feature doesn't seem to animate symbols - only the timeline animations. That is, the lip sync doesn't play in the sequence.

Next step, try to import the swf file into After Effects. I purchased QuickTime Pro (as after effects said it needed it) and generated the SWF file as version 5 format (Quicktime limitation). The SWF file imported fine but caused 2 problems.
1. The SWF became jumbled when any editing or timeline changes were done in After Effects.
2. After Effects didn't use the alpha of the SWF file (there is no background layer in the file, just a colour chosen from the movie properties). I could be doing something wrong in After Effects, as I said I'm very green with that program.

Next step, generate a QuickTime movie from Flash and import that into After Effects. This had exactly the same problems as the SWF file.

Can anyone point me to a tutorial that shows how to bring a flash animation into After Effects effectively or some tips on best practive producing this?

Thanks in advance.

Complex Button Rollover/rollout Effects Trouble
i've worked w/ the source file from the tutorials, but the problem i'm having is that ideally, i'd like the current button which is being rolled over to always be on top. so when i have 2 buttons right next to eachother, when either of them zoom, they'll be on top of the other one. as of right now, that doesn't happen since either one is in front or behind the next.

any suggestions?

Complex Button RollOver/RollOut Effects Trouble
Hello, sorry if my english is not to good , I´m having a problem with this tutorial.

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20...ton_effect.htm

I used the code and works fine, the problems is that when I change the last chunk of the code to go to a frame, the animation resets. The code I´m using is the next one:

stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (rewind == true) {
prevFrame();
}
}
this.onRollOver = function () {
rewind = false;
play();

}
this.onRollOut = function(){
rewind = true;
}
this.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndPlay ("home");

}

If anyone sees the problem, pleaaaaaaaaaase let me know. Thanks !!

Mouse Over Effects
Hi everyone i was just wondering how to do a mouse over effect for instance...

I want to make a flash signature for forums and such i want to have a ICQ/Email/Website button on the bottom and when the user holds their cursor over each one of these i want my icq email or website to fade up in the corner.

I can get one to fade up ok but it keeps looping sort of fades up over and over again when what i want it to do is fade up and sit there until the user takes their cursor off it.

What i am doing is making a movie of my icq number fading up then put it on the Over state of my icq button is there an easier way to do this?

Thanks in advance for all ur help

Mouse-over Effects?
This has probably been asked a billion times, but how do you get the position of the mouse to influence how "fast" a string of images goes by, or how fast a wheel spins?

Two examples:

1. Let's say you have a row of pictures. When the mouse isn't near them, they scroll and repeat. First of all, how do you get them to repeat seamlessly? Anyway, my real question: How do you make the line of pictures go the same direction as, and increase speed with, whichever direction your mouse goes away from center? (i.e. fast scrolling if way off to the side, but slow if near the center, and back the other way if the mouse goes that way)

2. Let's say you have a spinning wheel. It spins when the mouse is away from it. When the mouse is over the 12:00 position, the wheel stops. But when you go left and right, the spinning speed/direction increases with how far away from center you are.

I really need help with these; I'm putting together a project and I'm stumped!

Mouse Over Effects Help
I am making this flash movie for a website. I want to know how to make it so that when you mouse over each photographer, text shows up, and when you click, a flash goes off fading into a translucent layer on top.

The other flashes on there I created by creating a large white rectangle and alpha fading out over 5 frames, but when I convert the photographers to buttons, I can get mouse overs w/text to work but when clicked the flash won't go off.

Mouse-Off Effects?
Hello,

I'm probably newer to Flash than most of you but I am using MX2004 Pro if it matters. On many sites, I have seen buttons that have a mouse-over as well as a mouse-off effect, but I cant find any way to edit a mouse-off effect after i convert something to a button symbol. Is there a way to add some kind of an "off" frame that would trigger a short effect or is there any code? Would appreciate the help alot thanks.

Preloader Using Mouse Effects
I tried to make a preloader where the viewer could race a car around a track using the mouse before my movies loaded. When I run the script the preloader would stay on and not stop and goto the next scene but overlayed my main movie scene until it got to my next scene. This is my first preloader and I'm a bit lost on the scripting I used {_framesloaded>=_totalframes}
gotoAndPlay(main scene);
}stop()
could you fill me in on what I missed
Thanks a bunch

Mouse Over Effects In Netscape

Cool Mouse Out Effects
Hey,

Does anyone know how the mouseout effects are done on this site?

http://www.insite3.com/insite3_ui.htm

Under the "work" section, if you mouseout of the big images, there is a cool effect with the rectangle. The rectangle seems to "wiggle." How do they do it? is it just motion tween or A/S?

And if you go to the "Projects" page and mouseover the image on your right, this rectangle wiggles onto the stage and if you mouseout of it, it wiggles out. I'm just curious about the wiggle effect!

Also, how is the mouseout effect done for the buttons? It seems like the letters randomaly change when you mouseout.

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.

Cheers

Some Got To Know How To Scroll Images With Mouse Over Effects
I just like to know the script to scroll images with the mouse over effect. I have tried all types of samples that I can find all over the net. TThe thing is, they don't work when I type the scripts on my scroll and nothing works. Are the scripts different for flash mx 2004?

User Customizable Mouse Effects
Okay if anyone can help me with this I would be forever greatful. This is basically what I want to do. Have an interactive map and each users map would have a dot for what room they are in and their name.

So when the map loads, it asks for your first name. You type it in and you can then move around the map with your cursor and a dot along with your first name would follow your pointer. Does that sound very complicated? It seems simple in my head but I dont know what scripts to use etc.

I suppose it could work if I used an image cursor script in the html so by typing your name in it creates a custom little image for you with your name in it that follows your mouse, but i dont think that would work in Flash.

Like I said if anyone could help me I would be so so greatful.
