Flash :: OnRollOver - Stopping The Who MC Activating This

OnRollOver Event Of Parent MC Preventing OnRollOver Of Child
I have a movieClip, which in turn has a nested movieClip. I need each of these to have thier own onRollOver events, the parent movieClip is OK, but the event never fires for the nested movieClip. Can anyone think of a workaround?

My code goes something like this:

Code:

attachMovie("mcOne", "mcOne", 100);
mcOne._x = 20;
mcOne._y = 20;
mcOne.onRollOver = function(){
trace("hi");
};
mcOne.attachMovie("mcTwo", "mcTwo", 100);
mcOne.mcTwo.onRollOver = function(){
trace("bye");
};
"hi" is output when mcOne is rolled over, as it should, but nothing is output when mcTwo is moused over.

Parent.onRollOver, Child.onRollOver Do Not Work Together
hello,

I have an arrow that should highlight on rollover and move a movieclip.

however, when used together only the last onRollOver is working, if I remove the last definition the first two start working.

Code:

gallery.butScrollLeft.arrowOver.onRollOver = addHighlight;
gallery.butScrollLeft.arrowOver.onRollOut = removeHighlight;
gallery.butScrollLeft.onRollOver = scrollLeft;

function scrollLeft()
{
this.onEnterFrame = function()
{
gallery.imgHolder._x -= .5;
if (gallery.imgHolder._x >= gallery.imgHolder._width)
{
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
}

// highlight
function addHighlight()
{
this.onEnterFrame = function()
{
this._alpha += 10;
if (this._alpha >= 100)
{
this._alpha = 101;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
}

Is there a workaround? or rather is it possible to have two functions execute from the same onRollOver? what is the best way to fix this?

if you could help
thank you

Create OnrollOver Event Without OnrollOver AS
Hi guys!

I am working on a job that uses the "onMouseDown" method to create a button without using a regular button (or MC for that matter). So, I have to create a variable which defines an area between a specific _x and _y, and besides that, I have to create a function that monitors the values of _xmouse and _ymouse. If the mouse is clicked inside the _x and _y area specified, a function will be triggered.

That´s ok, I´ve managed to do that. What I am not able to do is to create a "rollOver" event in this situation. ´Cause I just can´t use buttons in this project, I´ve got to find a alternate way to create a onRollover event, just like I´ve used an alternate way to create a button (onMouseDown instead of onRelease).

I am attaching the fla to help you guys to help me...

By the way, the fla contains a free component which is not my work (credits go to http://www.iparigrafika.hu/pageflip

Thanks in advance

X/y Of MC Not Activating
Basically, when an MC touches another MC, it moves to a different frame of the actual movie. The problem is, I want the coordinates of the MC that touched the other to change after the actual movie has gone to the frame it was told to. This is the AS I have right now, in which the coordinates wont change:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.rah)) {
_root.gotoAndStop("2");
tellTarget(_root.rah) {
_x=36;
_y=197;
}
}
}

I think I might have an idea on how to fix it that I just thought of, but now I have to go somewhere till 12:30 so yeah >_>

MCs Not Activating While In Another MC ?

Activating Different Sounds
Building an animated graphic for an HTML site. The graphic be a dropdown type menu with 3 choices of audio files. For some reason I can't get the sound to play. If you wish to download the FLA and see what I'm missing, I will post it==

http://www.savagebeaststudio.com/audio.zip

I tried the attach.sound AS and that didn't work with the buttons. Then I tried making a little MC for each sound file with 2 frames in each (first one with no sound, second with the sound) and asked the button to play the second frame on (release), but that didn't work because of the dropdown click activating all three sounds.

The buttons obviously need to stop the sound that's already playing before playing the designated sound.

Was this clear?

I know I'm missing something very easy here, but I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

De-activating Buttons
On my main stage, I have a set of buttons contained in a MC. That MC slides behind a box on the stage to "hide" the buttons at different times in my presentation.

I just realized that those buttons are still active when the mouse rolls over them while they are supposedly "hidden" behind the box.

Is there any way to disable these buttons while they lay on a particular X axis of the stage?

Thanks for any help.

Activating An MC Without OnPress...
Hello All,

Maybe a simple question:

I have an MC that bounces and rotates. It is activated using:

ball.onPress = function(){
bounce_angle = roll_angle = 0;
bounce_force = roll_force = 1;
}

So, it starts when its pressed, but I want it to play when the movie starts, and not have to be pressed by the user. I tried onEnterframe and onLoad...

Any thoughts?

Activating A Button
Hi. I'm completely rusty with actionscript, having been away from it for a few years. In Flash MX I was able to create a button and use the simple gotoandStop("frame label") language for a text button. Now, in CS3, I'm unable to use that language, as the actionscript window says something like "Unable to apply actions to current content" for the button. Can somebody please write for me the script needed to activate a simple text button to go to (on release) and stop at a certain frame in the movie until I can get up to speed with the latest actionscript rules? I'd be eternally grateful!

Tween Activating Too Soon
Hi all,

So, excuse my code...I haven't gotten to the level yet where I can write super efficiently. My problem, which I had working this morning, but not now, is that I have a Tween set up on a loader, and immediately upon defining the Tween, I call out a .stop(); so the Tween doesn't start immediately. The problem is that the loader seems to be sitting at the endpoint of the Tween when the movie starts, instead of the x and y positions I have defined. When I click the next button, the loader pops back to where it should be, tweens away, and then my next image tweens back...after that everything works like it should. Help?

Code:
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.Event;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

var loader:Loader = new Loader;
loader.x = loader.y = 30;

var request1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("img.jpg");
var request2:URLRequest = new URLRequest("img2.jpg");

loader.load(request1);

var masker:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
masker.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
masker.graphics.drawRect(30,30,400,300);
masker.graphics.endFill();
addChild(masker);

loader.mask = masker;

var outTween:Tween = new Tween(loader, "x", Strong.easeIn, 30, -530, .5, true);
outTween.stop();
outTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, nextImage);

var inTween:Tween = new Tween(loader, "x", Strong.easeOut, -530, 30,1.5,true);
inTween.stop();
inTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, finishLoad);

var nextImageB:nextB = new nextB();
nextImageB.x = 500;
nextImageB.y = 350;
nextImageB.buttonMode = true;
nextImageB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, unloadImage);
addChild(nextImageB);

function unloadImage(e:Event):void{
outTween.start();
}

function nextImage(e:Event):void{
loader.load(request2);
inTween.start();
removeChild(nextImageB);
}

function finishLoad(e:Event):void{
addChild(nextImageB);
}

addChild(loader);
inTween.start();
Thanks,

Activating The Webcam....
Hi,

since nobody felt like offering code or a movie on the topic web cam I decided to figure it out on my own (:

I had this overview of the Camera object:

Camera.prototype.setMode
Camera.prototype.setQuality
Camera.prototype.setKeyFrameInterval
Camera.prototype.setMotionLevel
Camera.prototype.setBandwidth
Camera.prototype.setLoopback
Camera.get

Of all these only Camera.get() sounded useful for getting something from the cam. But where to point it? I already noticed the video object from the libary and decided to give it a try.

This is how it works:

View the library. Click the "pull down" menu to the upper right and select "new video". Drag and drop the new object to the stage and give it an instance name. In my example I took the name "camMC". I used the attachVideo with the Camera.get() function:

_root.camMC.attachVideo(Camera.get());

That's it for activating the cam. Now we just need to find out how the NetStream Object works and we through with it

Help...Activating QT Movie On Rollover...
I'm using Flash 5

I want to play a small QT clip on button rollover.
What I have done so far...

I placed the MOV into a movie clip called Minimov. I put this into the first frame of the movie clip:

ifFrameLoaded (1) {
Playmovie = 0;
}
if (Playmovie = 0) {
stop ();
} else if (Playmovie =1) {
play ();
}

I called the variablr "Playmovie"

Then on my main scene, I programmed a button as follows:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay ("startplay");
}
on (release) {
Designation = "HOME";
}
on (release) {
MainText = ""Some text....

}
on (rollOver) {
//
_root.Movie.Playmovie = 1;
}

The problem is, the movie clip doesn't even show up when I test the movie. I'm reasonably new at this so I don't know what I'm missing...

Can someone help?

Activating Functions In _parent_parent (MX)
Well, I'm stumped...

Can someone please explain what I'm doing wrong here? I'm working in Flash MX and have 3 objects:

_level0

slider (movieClip which contains...)

thumb1 (another MC)

Now, _level0 has a function called loadbigpic(x) which just runs trace(x);

_level0.slider.thumb1 has the following:

---------
onClipEvent(load){

_parent._parent.loadbigpic(1);

this.onRelease=function(){
_parent._parent.loadbigpic(2);
}

}
---------

when run, the first function call works fine, but the other doesn't respond to clicks.

I've tried variations on this.onRelease (onPress, onClipEvent(mouseDown), etc.) to no avail so I think it's something else I'm doing wrong.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks!

Activating Roll Over With My Script PLEASE HELP
Please someone help me this is really important!

This script works for scrolling panoramic pictures but only has one little problem I cannot fix-

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.mainVar == 0) {
homeX = (-_root._xmouse)+800;
} else {
homeX = (-_root.mainVar)+800;
}
thisX = _x;
diffX = homeX-thisX;
if (_root.mainVar == 0) {
moveX = diffX/60;
} else {
moveX = diffX/5;
}
_x = thisX+moveX;
}

The problem is If your on a mac, It detects the x axis (when clicked) even when the mouse is not scrolled over the swf surface. How could you make it so only this script works when scrolled over the swf area? I have the file attached to this post. Please someone help me!

Code For Activating Flv Controls

(The video clear code clears the netstream of previously playing videos on account of varying aspect ratios)

Everything works perfectly except my play, pause and rewind buttons don't really work at all. Sometimes they just freeze the video playing completely but then I can't do anything else with the video except load another from another button.

I just need pause, play and rewind to work to finish the project. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. I'm sure it's something dumb and simple I'm doing wrong. Thanks Peter

this.btn_01.onRelease = function() {
my_video.clear();
my_video2.clear();
// Create a NetConnection object
var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
// Create a local streaming connection
my_nc.connect(null);
// Create a NetStream object and define an onStatus() function
var my_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(my_nc);
// Attach the NetStream video feed to the Video object
my_video.attachVideo(my_ns);
// Begin playing the FLV file
my_ns.play("excess flvs/Chicken Training.flv");
};

this.btn_play.onRelease = function() {

Activating /Deactivating Code
Hi guys,
I have a few buttons that have a decent amount of code on them.
Once clicked they start by doing a animation.
but if another button is clicked while that animation is occuring everything goes nuts.
I have a good idea why but to sort this out would mean a total re-think of my code.

So basically i would just like to deactivate the code in the other buttons while this animation occurs and when the animation is finished reactvate it.

Any ideas?

[F8] Storing And Activating Key Presses
Hi there, I'm still fairly new to flash. I am currently trying to figure out how to use Flash to store Key Presses. I have read all about calling the Object KeyListener but I really don't understand how it works or how to use it. I'll try to explain as best I can. What I would like to achieve is:

- Have my user press the left or right arrow keys between frames 10 and 40
- Have my program store this
- In frame 50 whichever arrow was pressed will activate a go to frame code i.e. if left was pressed they will jump to frame 60, if right was pressed they will jump to frame 70.

I hope this makes some sense to somebody.

Help Activating & Deactivating Buttons
Hello everybody.

I have this code to activate and deactivate buttons in a menu.
The code works fine but there's one little thing.

When you click on a button it changes it colors and other things, and also it deactivates itself so can't click on it again. But I want to be able to click on the active button so it can take back to it's main page.

The reason why I need this is because this buttons are inside an HTML site and I need to be able to refresh the site by re-clicking on the button...

Here's the code I have:

PHP Code:

var myButtons = [this.b1, this.b2, this.b3];
var myColors = [colorB1, colorB2, colorB3];
var myUrls = [url1, url2, url3];

for (var i=0; i<myButtons.length; i++){
    myButtons[i].onRollOver = function() {
        this.btnIZQ.colorTo(myColors[substring(this._name, 2,1) -1], .5);
        this.btnCTR.colorTo(myColors[substring(this._name, 2,1) -1], .5);
        this.btnDER.colorTo(myColors[substring(this._name, 2,1) -1], .5);
    };
    myButtons[i].onRollOut = function() {
        this.btnIZQ.colorTo(colorBase, 1);
        this.btnCTR.colorTo(colorBase, 1);
        this.btnDER.colorTo(colorBase, 1);
    };
    myButtons[i].onPress = function() {
        this._parent.activateItem(this);
        this.getURL(myUrls[substring(this._name, 2,1) -1], "_self");
    }
}

this.activateItem = function(item) {
    for (var i=0; i<myButtons.length; i++){
        this.currentItem.enabled = false;
        myButtons[i].btnIZQ.colorTo(colorBase, 0);
        myButtons[i].btnCTR.colorTo(colorBase, 0);
        myButtons[i].btnDER.colorTo(colorBase, 0);
    }
    if (this.currentItem != false) this.deActivateItem();
    this.currentItem = item;
    var numColor = substring(this.currentItem._name, 2,1) -1;
    _global.lastClickedColor = myColors[numColor];
    myButtons[numColor].btnIZQ.colorTo(lastClickedColor, 1);
    myButtons[numColor].btnCTR.colorTo(lastClickedColor, 1);
    myButtons[numColor].btnDER.colorTo(lastClickedColor, 1);
    this.currentItem.enabled = false;
    }


this.deActivateItem = function() {
    this.currentItem.enabled = true;
    this.currentItem = undefined;
};

activateItem(b1);

Anyone?
Thanks in advance

Activating The Flash Embed
Hey guys, I'm making a game and when the swf first loads, I need to click within the window to have it start receiving key input of any kind. I had thought having a title menu (where the player initially clicks 'play game') would solve this, since that would count as a click within the window. However when the actual level loads up.. I have to click within the window yet again to have any kind of input register. So my question is.. is there any way to have it so the player need not click within the window to start having input affect the game?

If not, something must be wacky about the way I did the 'play game' button to start, since other games don't have this problem. What I did was my main function creates the menu (stored in an array). Upon hitting 'play game', I removeChild the elements of the title screen array and call my level1 function, which loads everything needed for level 1.

EDIT: I realized that if I make my title screen "buttons" not actually buttons, but movieclips, it seems to count as a click. This is a solution, I guess, but does anyone know how to use buttons and still have it count as a click?

Activating Lightbox 2 From Flash
hi guys, im wondering if it is possible to activate lightbox 2 from flash.

As extracted from the Lightbox tutorial, lightbox needs an <a href> tag with a rel="lightbox" attribute to be activated.

e.g.

Code:
<a href="images/image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="my caption">image #1</a>
However I dun think it is possible to use getURL(); for this in flash right?

is there a work around for this? what i am aiming to do is have the user click on an image/mc in my flash

e.g.

Code:
my_mc.onRelease = function() { // Activate lightbox from here };
and have it call the light box up.

thanks a million in advance for anyone who is willing to help...

Activating One Button When Another Is Pressed?
Hello i was wondering if someone could help, im creating a flash website which is on brain anatomy.

I have created an image of the brain with the different sections coloured, which are buttons. Ive inserted a movie in the button so when the mouse hovers over these different areas they move out of the brain image and then when a person clicks they are sent to a diferent page.

I have also created a vertical menu, which are simply buttons with the name of the different brain sections on them.

What i was hoping i could do was, somehow link these two buttons together so if i hover over a text button, then the corresponding brain image button would activate. And if i hover over a brain image button, then so would the appropriate text button. As if they were the same button?

Anyones help would be great, thanks!
