Button Animation On Mouse Off
Hello,

I've been wondering how to do this for a while, not sure if it can be done without actionscripting.

I'm talking about how you can create a button, that when your mouse goes over it, then an animated movie is played (that's the easy part) but whenever the user's mouse leaves the button, I want to know how for another movie to be played (returning the button smoothly to its original state), as seen on the official site of Interscope Records (http://www.interscope.com - the menu at the top)

If anyone can help me, I'd very much appreciate it,

Thanks!

Mark

Button Animation On Mouse Out
Hi Guys!

I have a simple button that has a simple animation on the over state of the button. The animation is a movie clip. What I want to know is how to play frame 6 of that movie clip on mouse out of the button

Basically frames 1-5 of the are the bar going up and frames 6 – 11 are exactly the same but in reveres therefore the bar going down, however I have no idea of how to get it to play the appropriate frame on mouse out.

I have attached the files so if anyone could get it working for me this would be brilliant. I’m sure its very simple, however my action script is rather lame.


Cheers in advance
Dom

Mouse Out Button Animation
Hi,

I think I have seen, but not entirely sure, Flash buttons where when the mouse goes over the button, the colour fades to a different colour. Then when the mouse goes away from the button, the colour fades back to the original.

I can do the mouse over fading in, but I'm not sure how to do the fade out because as default, buttons only have a Down and Hit state, but no mouseout state.

Is this possibly, could anyone enlighten me?

Ta.

Mouse Out Animation On Button
Hello,

I'm fairly new to flash and am trying to do something that seems should be very simple. I have a button that I've created and have a movie clip on the "Up" event and a different movie clip on the "Over" event. I was sort of expecting there to be an "Out" event or mouse out event but there doesn't seem to be. I'd like to put a different movie clip on the Out event.

I tried to get around this using action script but doesn't seem to be working. Do any of you have any good tips as to how I can place a different Movie Clip on the mouse out of a button???

Thanks in advance!

Finish An Animation On A Button When The Mouse Is Taken Away
Hi there! I am new to Flash 5, so this may an old question. I recently made a button with an animation in it. I noticed that the animation sharply cuts off when the mouse is removed from the button. Is there an action script to have the animation complete itself after the mouse is removed from a button? It would just make the button a little easier on the eyes. Thanks!

Button/ Mouse Over Blending Animation
I have been having trouble with this for a little while now, so much so, I thought I'd come here and see if I can get some help.

I wish to make a button, that when you hover over it, it begins to fade into another color. Slowly, about half a second to a second to reach the full color change. How is this done exactly??

I can explain what I have done here:

1. I make a square solid with an outline.
2. I convert outline and solid to a symbol (button).
3. Keyframe inside the button on Over. (next frame)
4. Then while working inside the button, I convert the solid of the square to a movie.
5. Then while working in that movie, I make my color blend from grey to green in 6 frames.
6. Now I am stuck.....

-Mainly because it doesn't work.

Is there a tutorial or a quick lesson anyone can give me about this? I've looked through the forums and found nothing, hence my post.

Thanks

Button That Finishes Animation Even Though Mouse..
Button that finishes animation even though mouse is not over it.

I want to make a plane fly across the screen with the name of the page on it when you go over a button. When you take the mouse away I don't want the plane to disappear, I want it to finish it's animation off. Some people have given me a script, which I can't figure out how to use properly. An example of what I mean (although different in some ways is at www.xbox.com, their buttons)

I want the animation to reset after each play so it can be played again the next time the user rolls over the button.

Below are links to what I am working on, and what someone else has sent me.

Animation When User Takes Mouse Of Button
Hey,
I've got a button which when you put your mouse over it, a grey BG scrolls from bottom to top (this is an animated symbol in the "over" fame of the button). What I would like to do now, but im not too sure how to do it, is to make the opposite effect (grey BG scrolls from top to bottom) when user takes the mouse of the button. Ive got the animated symbol prepared, but i dont know where to put it so it plays when the user takes the mouse of the button.

Banner: http://www.elcardesign.com/banner_v4/
Effect of my button is on the 2nd button "Diseño en 3D"
SS of my button timeline: http://www.elcardesign.com/banner_v4/button.gif

Play An Interior Button Over Animation On Mouse Click?
Hey all...I wanted to have my mouseover animation play when the mouse is hovered over my button symbol and then stop at a keyframe so it does not loop the animation. This much I have done correctly.

Now then, here is my question:

Instead of having the mouseover animation appear over again after you click the button, is there a way to have the mouseover animation move on to a future keyframe instead?

I just dont know how to target it to play in actionscript and to prevent it from going back to the up state to repeat everything...did I pose this question clearly enough?

Thanks in advance.

Mouse Over Button Animation In A Lower Layer Movie
Hi,

I have a movie that has button animations for when the mouse rolls over them. But I also have another movie on a higher layer that covers up that movie. So the higher layer movie is preventing the lower layer movie from playing its rollover animations.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I've tried adding a mouse listener on the lower layer movie but it still didn't work. (switching the layers around is not an option).

OnPress Doesn't Work If The Mouse Button Is Pressed Again But The Mouse Is Not Moved.
I have a very simple piece of code but it has one very annoying bug. When I press the button a second time, the code doesn't work. The only way to get the code to work is by moving the mouse a tiny bit, or moving the mouse off the button and back on.

Does anyone know a way to make a button that can be clicked many times without moving the mouse?


Code:
randommultiquiz.onPress = randommultiquizOnPress;
function randommultiquizOnPress() {
_root.attachMovie("connect", "newconnect", 200);
newconnect._x = 0;
newconnect._y = 0;
newconnect._xscale = 100;
newconnect._yscale = 100;
}

Scene Transitions Now Effecting My On Mouse Over, On Mouse Out Button?
This is quite a complicated problem to explain.

Basically I had some buttons with a on mouse out, and on mouse over effects.

I wanted each button to load a different scene of the movie.

For some reason the on mouse over and mouse out button effects work until I link them to load a scene in the movie.

If you download the following file you can see this.

http://www.editorskeys.com/site.file

(rename the file to .zip)

The only button I have linked to load a movie is the Drinks button. It loads the drinks scene, no problem, however the mouse over effects don't seem to work anymore.

I have included the .fla file so if someone could maybe have a quick look at it, it is probably just a small bit of coding I have done wrong!

I would really appreciate anyones help, thankyou!

p.s if anyone manages to do it can you e-mail it to adam.w@editorskeys.com

Mouse Over-Mouse Out Animation.
Hello,
Im currently working in my new site, ive made a button that has a fairly long animation, if the user pulls their mouse off before its done it will just start playing the rolloff animation.

ActionScript Code:
on (rollOver) {
    tellTarget ("nav_home") {
        play();
    }
}
on (rollOut) {
    tellTarget ("nav_home") {
        gotoAndPlay(16);
    }
}


So on rollover I have it start the animation, On rollout I have it play the rolloff animation (its just the animation backwards). I want to be able to have a script that if the user pulls their mouse off before the animation is done it will go to a certain frame in the rolloff animation.

Thanks,
-Mike

How would I play an animation on mouse out?

there is example here (in the navigation once you "enter" the site): http://www.modernvisual.com/

I haven't done flash in quite a while, so i forgot how to use the _root thingie...
I know you guys at kirupa are wizards so please help me!

In the button, I have a MC (called hover) that lies on 'over', and the AS is on the button.

Fade Out Animation On Mouse-out
I wonder if any of you guys can help.

I am creating a presentation at work. on it there is a button in the form of a factory, you know, with chimneys etc. When the mouse is over the factory, smoke comes out of the chimney, and when you move away it stops.

Trouble is, this looks a bit rubbish, just stopping dead like that. What I would like to happen is when the mouse is moved away the smoke fades out gently over the space of a second or two.

Any ideas?

your help and expertise is much appreciated

Tigger Animation On Mouse Over
I am wanting to accomplish the effect similar to the Mac OS 10 task bar. When you roll over any part of the navigation, the icons begin to scroll by as if on a film strip and the icon that your mouse is over increases in size.

I've seen this done on several sites but cannot find it. If anyone has a link to where this is done I would really appreciate it if they could post it here. I am going to try to make this happen using Flash 4 but it has been a couple years since I used Flash.

Any tips on resources or scripts that might help me accomplish this effect would also be greatly appreciated.

I have input the ActionScript that oldnewbie gratefully supplied on the relevant movie clip. i changed a few things he did on the button, changing the invisible button fuction a little bit. The problem is though that though the roll out animation does work it is not responding effectively. If you roll out on the fiel supplied you will see that sometimes the animation works but more often then not it stutters.

Any solution guys?

Code:
snowNumber = 40;
var flakes:Array = new Array("snow", "flake2", "flake3","flake4","flake5")
for (i=0; i<snowNumber; i++) {
newSnow = _root[flakes[random(flakes.length)]].duplicateMovieClip("snow"+i, i);
newSnow._x = Math.random()*Stage.width;
newSnow._y = Stage.height+Math.random()*300;
newSnow.maxSnowSpeed = Math.random()*4;
newSnow.wind = Math.random()*6;
newSnow._xscale = newSnow._yscale = Math.random()*60+40
newSnow.swapDepths(newSnow._xscale)
prevSnow = newSnow;
newSnow.onEnterFrame = function() {
//this._rotation -= this.maxSnowSpeed+1;
if(this._y<-50 || this._x>Stage.width+50 || this._x<-50){
this._y = Stage.height+Math.random()*300;
this._x = Math.random()*Stage.width;
} else {
this._y -= this.maxSnowSpeed+1;
this._x += this.wind-4;
}

//this._alpha = this.alpha;
};
}

Applying A Mouse-Following Mask Over An Animation
I've been trying to figure this one out for a day or so.

I know how to make a mask follow the mouse using either
Actionscript, or just applying a startDrag as a frame
action. That much is fine.

The problem that I am having is this: when I try and
apply a dragging mask over an animation, nothing shows up
underneath.

I've tried making the animation right out in the main
scene on it's own layer, and masking that. I've tried
making a Movie Clip of the animation to mask, and still
nothing shows up.

What does work, I have found, is if I have a stationary
mask, I can see the animation through it, but ideally I
want the user to be able to move the mask with the mouse,
and maintain visibility of the animation.

If someone could help me out with this, let me know!

Change Mouse Animation Direction
I want to have my dog walking with the cursor.

I have an animation locked to the movement of the mouse. It is also locked to the x,y cords of the stage (so it only goes left and right). What I cant figure out is, making the animation flip when I move the cursor in the opposite direction (when I move the mouse to the left The dog needs to face left, and face right when the mouse is moving right).

Oh yeah and I'd like the animation to stop when the user stops the mouse movement.

If someone could explain or point me to a tutorial I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm looking for a tutorial that explains how to do the following effect:

I'll have a large button that when on a mouse-over text will appear explaining the button (a MC on the over state). But, the text will follow the x/y coordinates for the mouse while over the button.

I've seen this before but can't find an example. I hope I explained it enough...kinda like a mousetrail of just static text just on the over state.

thanks for your help.
