Flash :: Movie Clip Rollover

Mouse Rollover On One Movie Clip Increase Decrease Alpha Of Another Movie Clip..
So I really haven't messed with Actionscript much for a couple years and here is my issue.

I have several movieclips I put together that will eventually be a menu for my website. When you roll over a menu option (movieclip) I am trying to get another movie clip to fade in giving the description of the menu item.

For example - when you roll your mouse over the 'Live Chat' option a brief text description would appear telling you what the live chat is about. This description is a seperate movie clip appearing away from the original menu.

I have made the movieclips for the menu and the movie clips for the descriptions. I tried this action on the menu option to get the description to fade in:

Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
this._parent.mc_text_discussionBoard._alpha = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.onRollOver = function() {
if (this._parent.mc_text_discussionBoard._alpha<100) {
this._parent.mc_text_discussionBoard._alpha += 5;
}
};
}
But the alpha only increases on the description (mc_text_discussionBoard) by 5 when I keep rolling my move over and out and over again. It makes sense why it does that, but I'm not exaclty sure how to get it to continually increase the alpha by 5.

any help would be great and I am anxiously waiting to get this solved!

Movie Clip W/rollover Inside Another Movie Clip W/ Rollover
I have a menu that pops up on roll over, and I have movie clips inside that are supposed to have on rollover and on release actions, but they're not working. It seems that the whole menu is active constantly. Here's the menu script:

this.onRollOver = function() {
if (!active) {
this.gotoAndPlay("rollover");
}
};
this.onRollOut = function() {
if (!active) {
this.gotoAndPlay("rollout");
}
};

and in the root the script for one of the menu items is:

mainmenu_mc.menu_mc.solo_mc.onRollOver = function () {
this.gotoAndPlay (2);
};
mainmenu_mc.menu_mc.solo_mc.onRelease = function () {
_root.my_mc.loadClip("contentpages/turf_solo.swf", _root["container"]);
_root.recent_projects._visible = false;
};

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

On (rollOver) With A Movie Clip?
I have a movie clip that is attached to the stage through ActionScript. In that movie clip is some dynamic text and a button.

I want is so that whenever you put your mouse over the movie clip, a different dynamic box on the right side of the screen fills with information.

I'm led to believe that you can only use on (rollOver) with a button. I've tried placing a button over the movie clip with Alpha 0, and that works, except that because it's completely covering the movie clip, I can't click the button on the movie clip.

On the other hand, if I put the invisible button behind the movie clip, it only works when you have your cursor on invisible parts of the movie clip.

So to help you understand what I want to do, picture this. Divide the screen in half. On the left half, picture a bunch of tools/weapons, each one is a button contained in a movie clip attached through ActionScript. When you put your mouse over the weapon (or any of the surrounding movie clip containing a counter for that weapon), dynamic text will appear on the right half of the screen telling you about the weapon, how much damage it does, etc.

Any advice on how I could go about creating this?

Movie Clip Rollover
I want to apply this code to a movie clip, but there's not an option for a rollOver on a movie clip. Do I HAVE to embed a button within the movie clip. Here's the code I came up with.

this.onRollOver=function(){
black=new Color(this);
black.setRGB(Ox000000);
}
this.onRollOut=function(){
aqua=new Color(this);
aqua.setRGB(Ox33CCCC);

RollOver Movie Clip Help
Okay, so I made this movie clip where two objects swap places when the mouse rolls over it. Now how to I get the objects to go back to their original places when the mouse rolls over it again? Here is a "visual example"

Object 1

Object 2
on Rollover (same as above)

Object 2
(how do you get object 2 to go back to where it was before?)
Object 1
(how do you get object 1 to go back to where it was before?)

Thanks!

Movie Clip On Rollover, I Think
I am trying to do something similar to this http://homestarrunner.com/main6.html

On their page if you rollover "downloads" then a harp comes up and then on rolloff it goes back down. The only way that I could figure out how to do this was to place a movie in the over state of a button and then when I had it on the stage it took a lot of time to get it into the right place. If you go here http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jesler...gton_blue.html and then rollover the piano key at the top you will see what I mean. Can anybody help me do this. I am not sure if they are movies on a different level or movie clips within the movie itself.
Thanks in advance,
Duke

Creating A Rollover For A Movie Clip
Hello,

Can you please help me??

I am trying to create a rollover that will allow a movie clip to play.

If you go to http://www.mccann.com/ you will see what I am speaking about.

The movie clip - when it plays - is quite simple. it is a general fade in and out of a circle shape that would go from one color to another and back again.

However, in trying to create a rollover, I cannot get the movie clip to play.

Can you help me with how I go about this. I have a variety of books on flash 5 and flash in general, but I cannot find answers. Can you please help me??

Thank you.

Moving A Movie Clip On Rollover
OK, well i have a set of buttons on the main page, along with a simple movie clip of 2 rotating arrows, i have the arrows appear when the buttons do, on the outside the "home" button to tell you that you are in the "home" section. Now there are 6 other buttons, and what i want, is that when your mouse runs over one of the buttons, the movie clip will jump down to the button your mouse is over. I cant get this to seem to work. This is the code i have that doesnt work:

on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("blah") {
setProperty (blah, _y, -100);
}
}

blah is the instance name of the arrows movieclip. when i try to run it, it says, Target not found: Target="blah" Base="_level0.instance13.instance14.instance28" I THINK it might be that the button im using is in a movie clip, which is in ANOTHER movie clip, which is on the page with the indicator clip, so does it have to be in the same... 'area' as the button? please help if you can! I'm using flash 5. Thanks alot.

Movie Clip Rollover Problem
I'm sure this is really simple, but........
I have this button. Its over state is an 11 frame animated movie clip. So when the mouse is over the button, the movie clip plays. The thing is, the animation stops as soon as you roll off it, but i want the entire 11 frames to play even after the mouse is no longer touching the button. Does this make sense? How do i do that?

Movie Clip Rollover Event
I have a movie which tells the timeline of another movie to play from a certain frame
EG:

But when I rollout, the movie stops playing (natually). How can I get it so the movie just continues to play after the rollout occurs? (the movie that I am telling to play is an animation, and I do not want it to stop until it is done playing, and it will stop on its own)

I have a movie clip instanced "OpsA" 10 frames long in a seperate layer in the MenuBar graphic. First frame of "OpsA" has a stop action on it. Tweens from scaled down tiny to full size by 5th frame, another stop on frame 5, then scales back down by frame 10, another stop.

On (rollOver) Movie Clip Question?
I have a movie clip (MC) on the main time line that scales up using a elasticScale affect. Then in that MC I have another MC that has a "on (rollOver)" command that animates something.

My question is when I am over a MC in the main time line it is suppose to animate something out when they mouse over it. And when the mouse out it animates back in. But it is not working it does not recognize my "on (rollOver)" state.

Any thoughts? Below is the code.

MC in the main time line:

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
setProperty(this, _alpha, "100");
this.swapDepths(1000);
elasticScale(150, 0.7, 0.1);
} else {
setProperty(this, _alpha, "69");
elasticScale(100, 0.3, 0.1);
}
}
And in the this movie clip I have another movie clip that has this attached to it:

Code:
on (rollOver) {
_root.firstItem.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.firstItem.gotoAndPlay(9);
}
I have this code on the main timeline at the first keyframe:

Code:
Movieclip.prototype.elasticScale = function(target, accel, convert) {
xScale = xScale * accel + (target - this._xscale) * convert
yScale = yScale * accel + (target - this._yscale) * convert
this._xscale += xScale
this._yscale += yScale
}
I can email you the fla if you need it...

Thanks!

[F8] Listener For Movie Clip Rollover
I working on a diagram of a skeleton.

For each bone in the body, I've got three movie clips, the image of the bone, the name of the bone and a line pointing to the bone. When the viewer rolls over the bone or the text clps they change colour and the line becomes visible.

This now works great, thanks to input from forum members.

Trouble is, my code for each bone runs to a few lines of script :

PHP Code:

// ------------thigh ---------\
this.thightext_mc.onRollOver = function() {
    appear("thigh");
};
this.thightext_mc.onRollOut = function() {
    fade("thigh");
};
this.thigh_mc.onRollOver = function() {
    appear("thigh");
};
this.thigh_mc.onRollOut = function() {
    fade("thigh");
};

For all the bones I'm doing that means quite a lot of code - though I've done hallf of them already! Is there a way I can cut down the code with a listener to detect which clip is being rolled over (and rolled out of) and extract the name of the bone from the movie clip name, as a string, and send that string to various functions ('appear' and 'fade')?

CS3 Rollover Start Movie Clip
So, I don't really know what i'm doing. I downloaded the trial for CS3 and I wanted to make a couple things to throw onto my webpage.

I want to have a movie qued up when I load a webpage - it's a simple 60 frame animation of things moving. I want frame one to be shown whenevver the page loads, and then whenever I rollover the animations start. When I roll off they freeze. I'd even at this point settle for a rolloff to set back to the first frame.

If someone could point me in the right direction for CS3 and rollover I would be extremely happy

Rollover Sound In A Movie Clip
Tried searching the Forums to see if I could answer my question but I couldn’t find anything relevant – so im putting it to the board.

Basically is there anyway you can add a rollover sound to a movie clip like you would do a button? Some of you might say why not just create a button instead of a movie clip – well I cant as this is not my Flash movie and im only making slight changes to it for demonstration purposes, and the movie clip already has ActionScript applied to it and as im no expert in ActionScript im afraid to play around with it.

Currently I created an invisible button with the rollover sound applied to it, made it slightly bigger than the said movie clip and placed it below the movie clip on the layers. This works fine when you rollover the button and onto he movie clip but when you rollout of the movie clip the sound plays again as you are rolling over the button again. Does that make sense? So this can get quite annoying when the sound plays twice.

The invisible button was placed below the movie clip as it has animation within it, so if you added the button on a layer above the animation would not play.

Is there anyway around this? Or do I have to add some form of ActionScript to the movie clip? Or am i missing something totally obvious and making a fool of myself?

Movie Clip Rollover Problem
swf source file

fla source file

I am having a problem. I have a small movieclip tab (instance name: 'thumbnail_buttonMc'), when rolled over, opens a secondary menu.

each button in the secondary menu has a fade in/fade out effect when rolled over (first menu mc instance: 'thumb1Mc'). But I can't get the fade to work. I want to keep all the code in the main timeline. This is the code I am using:

//Main Button//

thumbnail_buttonMc.onRollOver = function(){
{
thumbnail_buttonMc.gotoAndPlay(2); //loads submenu in mc's timeline
}
};

thumbnail_buttonMc.onRollOut = function(){
{
thumbnail_buttonMc.gotoAndPlay(16); //unloads submenu in mc's timeline
}
};

//first submenu button//

thumb1Mc.onRollOver = function(){
{
thumb1Mc.gotoAndPlay(16); //fade out effect in 'thumb1Mc' timeline
}
};

thumb1Mc.onRollOut = function(){
{
thumb1Mc.gotoAndPlay(30); //fade in effect in 'thumb1Mc' timeline

}
};

prevFrame();
}
}
this.onRollOver = function(){

RollOver Handler For Movie Clip?
Is there a handler for a Movie Clip that works like "rollOver" for a button? I have a button, that when released, needs to maintain its "down" state. If there's a way to do this with a button that would be great. Otherwise, I can change the button to a movieclip and use "gotoAndStop" commands. If I do that, I don't know how to cause the movieclip to advance from the first frame to the second frame when the user hovers over the movieclip on the main stage. Here's the code I have in the actual movieclip (called to the stage via AS):

Code:
this.gotoAndStop(1);
this.rollOver = function(){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
this.rollOut = function(){
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}
this.onPress = function(){
this.gotoAndStop(3);
}
When I preview my movie, the movieclip is called successfully and stops at frame 1 of the movie. If I rollover or rollout nothing happens. If I press the movieclip, it advances to frame 3 of the movie. Any suggestions would be great!

Movie Clip Move To Button On Rollover
i am trying to get an effect like the buttons on http://www.blitzds.com/relaunch.html after you enter the site.

where a box will out line the button that was last roll overed.

my code should work and does to some extent but is not smooth or dependable the movie clip does not move all the time

is there a different approch to this.

my code is this on each button:
mBox is the movieClip that moves to the button.

on(rollOver){
topic_txt.text = "information";

/* i will move this function to the main time line and call it from the button when i get it working
*/
function moveBox(xpos){

if(mBox._x < xpos){
mBox._x += 3;
}
if(mBox._x > xpos){
mBox._x -= 3;
}
}
//i pass the button _x position to the function to move the clip
var theX:Number = setInterval(moveBox,1,55);

}
on(rollOut){
topic_txt.text = "";

}

i have attached a mx 2004 file that uses setInterval

Dynamic Movie Clip Rollover Problems
The Setup
Using Flash MX 2004 Pro, I have created a scrolling image bar which pulls 106 .jpg images from a directory with a for statement and a loadMovie() command. It looks like this:

//create the base holder
this.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbHolder", 1);
//repeat everything 106 times...for (var i = 1; i<=totalImages; ++i) {
var imageT = new Array();
imageT[i] = "images/ch6/thumb/"+i+".jpg";
//duplicate base holder for each image
duplicateMovieClip("thumbHolder", "thumb"+i+"_mc", i+1);
startX = ((i*60)-60);
setProperty("thumb"+i+"_mc", _x, startX);
setProperty("thumb"+i+"_mc", _y, 0);
//load each image
loadMovie(imageT[i], "thumb"+i+"_mc");}

I created an empty movie clip named "thumbScrub" on the stage and put all of that code and other stuff to control the movie inside of the clip, assigned it a linkage name and I call it from _root.Scene1.

The Problem
I'm having problems referring to the dynamically created movie clips ("thumb"+i+"_mc") within the movie clip "thumbScrub" in order to give them rollover states and assign them actions. I can access them directly with the script below, but only when I put it on an enterFrame loop within the movie clip "thumbScrub."

onEnterFrame = function(){
thumb1_mc.onRollOver = function() {
flasherX = 0;
flasher.gotoAndPlay(1);
};}

The file is attached, but due to the sensitive nature of the images (This project is for a medical publishing firm) I cannot post them. Nonetheless, I'd very much appreciate any advice. The attached file is very well tagged with questions and comments.

Thanks in advance!

Button Problems W/in Rollover Movie Clip
I have a site in the works, and I am running into a problem that I shouldn't have...

I have a movie clip setup so that when the user rolls over the clip with the mouse, it toggles the movie to play a certain label within the movie clip using this common code:

on (rollOver) {
_root.hover.useHandCursor = false;
_root.hover.gotoAndPlay("on");
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.hover.useHandCursor = false;
_root.hover.gotoAndPlay("off");
}

As this works fine, I would like a button to appear at a certain part of the rollover animation within the "hover" movieClip, but it seems as though whenever I place a button (rectangle -> convert to button) on the frames where I would like it to show, it doesn't register as a button, thus being unable to be clicked...

What's the deal with this...? I've never had this trouble before...

Movie Clip Rollover Issues...frustrated :(
I have what I thought would be a simple issue to solve, but nothing I've tried has worked the way I want it to. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a movie clip I've assigned to be invisible when you rollover it. So on the MC I have:

on(rollOver){
this._alpha=0;
}
on(rollOut){
this._alpha=100
}

[sidenote: I've heard that ._visible is less processor intensive, but for some reason _visible set to true and false didn't work, it resulted in my MC flashing whenever i rolled over it...?? Can somebody tell me why?]

So that works fine. And then I have the MC as a link to another part of my flash file:

on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay("frameLabel")
}

Which also works fine. And in this way I've set up a website, with each page of my site on a frame on the root timeline and given a frame label, and these MC's as links to all the pages. However, when you transition from one page to another, I've animated the movie clips to a different position. Which means when a new page opens, if your mouse happens to be over one of the movie clips, it's invisible to start with because of the rollover function I've applied to it. This, I DON'T want. I want the MC to be visible when the page is loaded, and THEN when the user rolls over it, for it to disappear.

Basically, I'm asking: Is there a way I can specify to Flash a difference between 'the action of rolling over" as opposed to "the mouse is already rolled over it to begin with"....or....can I have the rollover "disabled" until the user first moves the mouse?

My simple (attempted) solution:
I discarded the alpha actions assigned to my MC, and inside my MC itself I just created an "on" state in one frame (where alpha=100) and an "off" state in the second frame(where alpha=0).

Then in the hopes of having the MC be visible when it loads, regardless of where the mouse is, I put the code on the MC that says:

onClipEvent (load) {
gotoAndPlay("on");
}
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("off");
}
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("on");
}

but this didn't seem to work. I've tried variations of the above, using onClipEvent (enterFrame), using gotoAndStop, using frame numbers instead of labels......no dice.

What I ended up doing was just having about 5 frames for the "on" state, but this creates more problems (doesn't work at all if there is a stop action at the end of the "on" frames; and any subsequent rollover will be "on" for five frames before it goes to the "off" state, to name a couple). If it is AT ALL possible, I would rather have it a function of the user first moving the mouse, or Flash tracking the rollovers, instead of it being based on the frames themselves.

Am I missing something fundamental? I'm still fairly new to actionscripting, and knowing the most efficient ways to go about doing things.

Please.....help if you can... I can't attach my file, (even a modified, partial version) b/c it's too large.

[F8] Help With Rollover And Rollout On Button Movie Clip
hello,

i only know the very basic actions with flash just so you know.

i have a movie clip on the "over" frame of my button and this works fine, when i rollover the mc plays.

what i need (i think) is some script so that on rollout the movieclip reverses.

please help ive looked everywhere and i can only find old script that doesnt work, im presuming they are for older versions.

thanks

Movie Clip Rollover/ Color Change
var _color:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
function makeYellow(event:MouseEvent):void {
_color.color = 0xFFD700;
event.target.transform.colorTransform = _color;

How can this be changed instead of OxFF700, it only removes the Red from the original Move Clip color?

[CS3] Movie Clip Rollover Rolloff Question
hello all, new to the forum.

I recently started a new project, where I made a 3d product box (in 3d max) and exported the movie clip into flash. What I would like to happen is have the clip stay stagnent on the screen until you scroll over the clip. Then it will simply play the animation (the box circles once). I know how to get this to happen using a button, but when the mouse leaves the button the clip stops abruptly. I would like it to continue until it finishes the rotation. I know there is a way to accomplish this as I have seen it done using action script.

Would there be any way that some of you guys could give me a quick help to get this thing running? I know that it pertains to the rollover and the rolloff actionscript commands. Thanks!

[FL9] Faulty Rollover / Movie Clip Keeps Flashing
I'm trying to create a simple navbar and running into endless problems. First of all i created my rollover as a button which worked perfectly but then it wouldn't respond to the linking code.

mneil thankfully showed me that i could only link correctly if i convert it to a movieclip. This then killed my rollover effect. So i started again and did some tutorials in how to make a movie rollover clip.

The problem is that it keeps flashing I have placed the stop(); commands as directed but they appear to have no effect.

Here's an image of my timeline..

Movie Clip Rollover

I have a movie clip on my main stage. Does anyone know if is possible to make it that when the mouse hovers over this movie clip the main playhead jumps to a particular frame label on the main stage. Do I need to use a button or is this possible with the movie clip? aly_ve
