Roll On Roll Off Animation
I want to create a simple movie. I have a black and white image that fades into colour. I have a movie clip called movie1. In that movie i have two images 1 in colour and 1 in black and white. Both images are in different layers. When you play the movie the black and white image fades out and the colour one fades in. Fairly basic. What i want to do is create the action that when some ones mouse over the image it plays so the colour image fades in but when they mouse off it fades back into the black and white image.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Roll-Off Animation
Flash 5 Roll-off?
I can make a MC button in MX roll-off but what about Flash 5? is the code different than this?

Flash Roll-Over/Roll-off button script:

on (rollOver) {gotoAndPlay("over");
}
on (rollOut, releaseOutside)
{
gotoAndPlay("out");
}

On Roll Over Animation
I'm trying to figure out how to put together an animatated navigation bar in which rolling the mouse over, say 5 different pieces of text causes each piece to alter in some way ...pretty basic really, but I can't find a tutorial that tells me how to do this.

Check the link here (http://www.hintclothing.com/media/navigation.swf) to see what I've done so far.

The videography and photography text alters as I want it to, but the warriors text won't... I think this is probably due to the way I've laid out all the frames and the scripting I've used... the source file is here: http://www.hintclothing.com/media/navigation.fla

Any input would be very much appreciated, or a link to a helpful tutorial on the subject...

Thanks very much

Tut : For Roll Out Animation On Buttons?
Anyone know where i can find a tutorial on how to make a roll out animation on buttons. So that you roll over a button it moves left you move out of the hit area from the button and it moves back to orignal position.

Roll Off Button Animation.
OK, I tried many combinations of things but I can't seem to get this simple one down.

Now I have always animated buttons by using the "over" frame in the button states windows.

I drop a animated version of the button into that frame and when ever I roll over the button...viola.... it plays the animation.

Now I have been trying to get that to happen when I roll off the button.

I want the button to, of course, get to the end of the animation while your rolled over it and stop at the end staying there until you roll off. done. got that down.

now when I roll off the button I want the animation to in essence play backwards after I have moved away from the button.

There is no "roll off" frame for me to drop a clip into so I am supposing it is done by other means.

I tried using the "on roll out" in the menus but cant seem to get it right.

the button fills up with fluid when I roll over, animation finished an all. Now I want it to play the part of the animation where the fluid empties after I roll out of the button.

Thanks for help.

Roll On Button Animation
Someone before was asking how to display an animation when you roll off a button, and now I'm wondering how to display an animation when you roll *on* a button. I made a movie clip for the animation and tried to drop the movie clip into the "over" state in a button, but the movie clip doesn't play when I roll the mouse over the button in my main movie. I am probably doing it wrong, so if anyone could explain to me how to do this, I would really appreciate it!

Roll Over Animation W/o Button
Hello Board,

How can animations be triggered on mouse-over without using a button? I see this on a number of sites lately. When I mouse-over an area, a navigation bar animates on and there I have a menu. When I roll-out of the area, it animates back off. When I am mousing over to activate these animations, my cursor does not change from the arrow into the hand as it would if there was a Flash button, it stays as an arrow. This leads me to believe the action is set within the actionscript of the Flash movie instead of the more, I suppose, basic way of graphically dropping a button on the stage. Here are some sites in which the navigation/menus are revealed through a sort of non-button mouse over.

Can anyone let me know how exactly this is accomplished?

Best Regards,

Button Animation Roll Out
Hi guys noob over here,

I 've done my animation for me ole buttons its just i'd like to do a roll out animation when the user takes the pointer off the button hit point. How do I go about doing this as i'm sure there is a easy explanation how to but due to my noob blinded vision I do not know how.

Mouse Animation Roll Out
Hi guys,

I am having a problem with the roll out animation on this. 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?

Thanks,

Lewny

Roll Over Animation Questions.
I have a navigation bar consisting of 6 MCs. i want each of the MCs to move up slightly when rolled over and then return to original position when you roll off. here is the code I have but it only moves the MCs a little each time you roll over it:

on (rollOver){
if(this._y > -8){
this._y -= 2;
}
}

however this only moves it 2 pixels each time you roll over it. I want it to move all the way to -8 when you roll over it.

Also why wont buttons states change when you imbed a button in a MC and then apply AS to the Movie clip?

Thanks again!

Roll Out Animation On Button
I am trying to code a button that starts dimmed (50% alpha), plays an animation when your mouse rolls on (slides a full color picture over dimmed one), and then plays another animation when your mouse rolls off (slides the full color picture off leaving only the dimmed one). Basically I'm trying to utilize the effect shown in this tutorial:

http://www.toxiclab.org/tutorial.asp?ID=148

but this uses AS2 and each thumbnail is a movie clip. I would like each picture to be a button because each thumbnail will be used to load an image in the UILoader. I can get the initial roll on animation to work correctly but not the roll off animation. Thanks in advance for any help!

Realistic Roll Animation
Hello,

This is a fairly basic question I'm sure.

I'm trying to make a little animation where a stone head falls off a wall and rolls a few times once it's hit the ground.

I've used the free transform tool and moved the point of rotation at different keyframes but it just looks rubbish when it's played back!

How do I get this to look like realistic motion?

Many thanks.

Can't Make An Animation Stop From A RoLL OveR
Hello, and thanks for your time,

I have a simple 23frame non-tween animation MC.
I have a forward and backward button controlling it.

On rollover I can make the animation play normally, and rollOUT, I cannot make it stop.

I have tried stop; scripts, and setting functions but it won't work...

Here is the script for the ANIMATION.....

onClipEvent (load) {
stop();
f = false
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (f == true) {
this.nextFrame();
} else if (f != true) {
this.prevFrame();
}
}

===============================================

Here is the script for the BUTTON.....

on (rollOver, dragOver) {
_root.pie.f = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
x = stop;
}

Can some one please help me make the animation stop from RollOut.

thank you, P

Roll Out Animation Code OnMousepress STAY Help
hi!

i've been trying to code a small variation into the normal roll over roll out animations... i want the animation to stay on the last frame once i click the button. but when i put the code in it dosent even bother playing the rollover/out animations it just goes to the end frame... anyway here is the code so any help would be apreciated!

ActionScript Code:

On Roll Over I Want An Mc To Expand Smoothly, And Then Shrink On Roll Off Back To It'
i used to have a cool component that helped me to do this. I'd prefer to do it with code, and have easing involved, rather than on the timeline.

Do you know of an efficient way to achieve this rather basic effect?

I'd ideally like to control the speed with a variable perhaps.

thanks.

How To Get A Custom Cursor When I Roll Over A Movie And Dissappear When I Roll Out?
I want to be able to have the cursor turn into a custom one when I roll over the movieclip and be able to turn back to the default cursor when I roll out of the movieclip.

I've tried looking up for tutorials and mucking around with ActionScript for a bit but so far it doesn't work the way that I want it to.

Help would be appericated

"Roll Off" Animation On Buttons ?
Hope someone can help with this problem?

When the user rolls over a button it triggers a small movie clip animation, however once the user rolls off the button it just disappears instantly. Is there anyway that when the user rolls of the button, it then triggers a small animation so the whole sequence looks smoother? For examble: roll over, the button and a flower grows. Roll off, and the flower slids back into the ground (instead od just disappearing).

I'm sure i've seen this done before but just can think how to do it!!

Cheers

Roll Over And Roll Out Action Wthout Buttons

Controlling Movies W/ Button Roll Over/roll Off
I have a button that when rolled over sets a movie to play. The movie plays until a stop point. (some text fades up) Then when the button is rolled off of the it triggers the second half of the movie (text fades away).

However, when the button is rolled over and rolled off too quickly (before the movie reaches stop point?) the movie becomes stuck at that first stop point even though the mouse is off the button. (text remains stuck)

Maybe I can set the "stop" action in the movie to check whether the button has already been rolled off of already before stopping???

Please help!!!

On Roll Over I Have An Mc Follow The Mouse, But How Can I Have It Return On Roll Out
Basically, you roll over a piece of text, and it follows the mouse, using the following code.

onClipEvent (load) {
_x = this._x;
_y = this._y;
speed = 44;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_global.penthouse**** == 1) {
endX = _root._xmouse;
endY = _root._ymouse;
_x += (endX-_x)/speed;
_y += (endY-_y)/speed;
}
}

However, the problem is that when I roll off this thing, it is sort of snapping back to it's original position. I'm thinking there is a way to animate it back to it's original state, but I'm not sure how to do this.

Could you show me the way?

Thanks.

Button Inside Mc With Roll Over Roll Out Action
hi,

i have a button inside a movieclip. this movie clip has a roll over roll out action. the button is not working. what can i do?

Roll Over + Roll Out + Mouse Move = Problem?
Hi guys I have a problem I want to swap cursor after roll over on some object. so I did something like this:
Code:

private function cursorOn(e:MouseEvent):void{
      this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMove);
      Mouse.hide();
      Tweener.addTween(triangleCursor, {alpha:1, time:1, transition:"easeOutExpo"});
      addChild(triangleCursor);
      trace("on");
   }

   private function cursorOff(e:MouseEvent):void {
      this.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMove);
      Mouse.show();
      Tweener.addTween(triangleCursor, {alpha:0, time:0.5, transition:"easeOutExpo"});
      trace("off");
   }

   private function onMove(eve:MouseEvent):void{
      triangleCursor.x = (mouseX -50);
      triangleCursor.y = (mouseY - 100);
      eve.updateAfterEvent();
   }

So the problem is when I move my mouse sometimes the rollOut event is fired but the wird think is that I am still Over my object and I am sure of it when i remove the MouseMove function everythink is fine, I know I had this issue long time ago but I dont remember how I deal with it. I will appreciate any advice.

Simple Roll Over/roll Out Tasks
hey im sure this is very easy for most people here, so i have a question. im trying to make a dropdown box in flash... now this is what i was using to experiment with so its incredibly simple... but i have one problem..

well, here's an overview before i go on.

i have scene 1. roll over a button and goes to scene 2 where a backdrop appears and 2 buttons. at the end of a very short, cheap animation, scene 2 ends with the command "Stop". if you roll the mouse off of it all, it goes back to scene 1 where it began.

the problem is, how i have it set up, i can't get to the buttons, and ive tried a few other ways, but ill have problems when i actually get to the buttons, it rolls out of the back area (onto the button) and that tells the movie to go back to scene 1.

i hope that made sense.... well here's the .fla file if anyone would be so kind as to help out. you can download and change it, whatever... i just want to figure a way to make it work (And if possible, keep it SIMPLE)

http://www.geocities.com/hit_j_rizzl...h/dropdown.fla

Roll Over & Roll Out Button Advice
I'm trying to do something which I imagined would be very simple... I was wrong! (I'm using MX)

I want to make a button which, when you roll over it, has a background fill that fades in, and when you roll out, the background fill fades out. The up state needs to be just text ("contact" for example) and I obviously don't want the button to reset on release. Can anyone give me advise?

I've tried doing this with and without AS and it never seems to work for me. I can get the fade-in and fade-out to work without AS, but then the button action doesn't work. I've seen this done on multiple websites and I can't figure it out for the life of me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.

Roll On Roll Of Button Blues
Hi can any one help? I have made a button that when rolled over 'shrinks' and when rolled off 'grows' all nice and smooth. I have done this with the following code:

on(rollOver){
_root.mc1.gotoAndPlay("grow");
}
on(rollOut){
_root.mc1.gotoAndPlay("shrink");
}

Now, I need this button when pressed to go to a certain frame number on the main stage, or another scene, I thought the code:

on(release){
gotoAndPlay(35);
}

would do the trick but it doesn't seem to work. I have made the button by converting the button to a movie and then placing that movie on the main stage. Any ideas would be greatlt appreciated.

Many thanks

It's Magic - I Can Roll Off And Roll On Something At The Same Time
I'm having troubles with a few event listeners. I have a movieclip which has 2 event listeners attached to it. One for move_over and one for move_out. When i roll over the movieclip, both events are triggered??? Why???

Advanced Roll Over And Roll Off Effects...
I want to be able to make a movie clip (that acts as a button) so the roll over effect finishes before the roll off effect is triggered. Like if a marker circles a button, i want the circling animation to stop before the roll off effects happens. Anyone know how to do this. Thanks.

[FlashCS3] Pls Help Roll Over Menu Conflict With Roll Out - Vimeo Menu Style
Hi there,
I'm trying to make the menu in FLV player like Vimeo but it seems roll over always conflict with roll out script (I just start to learn how to write script and use only basic onRollOver, onRollOut). I am totally have no idea how to make the video controls visible only when you roll over the video clip like VIMEO. It looks like they build it on different way of mine as when the mouse over the flash area their cursor still be an arrow but mine is hand pointer.
Please anybody could help me or give me some suggestion.

Many many thanks,

gotoAndPlay(1);
}
on (rollOut){
gotoAndPlay(7);

Roll Over/Roll Out Problem
I have a button issue, I have set up a sub menu and the buttons need to work as follows; on the off state and out state they are green(frame2) and on over and press they are orange(frame 3).
I have used the following code but when you roll out it stays orange. When I added the roll out command it over rides the press command.

It works fine apart from the roll out so I need help with that command. I haven't used an actual button fot this but a movie as I can't make the button stay orange when pressed.

Please help!

on(rollOver) {

_root.movie1._visible = true;
_root. movie1.gotoAndStop(3);
}

on(press) {
_root.movie1._visible = true;
_root. movie1.gotoAndStop(3);
}

Roll In - Roll Out Button
I have some script that is for a roll in - roll out button.
The problem is that it rolls in, but will not roll out.

I'm placing it on a MC rollover button (if that makes sense)
but I have have it placed in the middle of the main timeline, on a frame
that has script for disabling other buttons.

I am just curious wheather it is right for this.

O.K. here it is:
startFrame = 0;
movieclip.prototype.back = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.prevFrame();
// DELETES THE ENTERFRAME IF THE CLIP IS AT FRAME 1
if (this._currentframe == 1 | startFrame == 1) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
CLIP.play();
}
}
}
button_mc.onRollOver = function() {
startFrame = 1;
CLIP.play();
}
button_mc.onRollOut = function() {
startFrame = 0;
CLIP.back();
}

Roll Over And Roll Out Problems
SO I don't quite grasp of roll outs. If you look at this site as an example
http://www.templatemonster.com/flash...tes/10117.html
As you rollover something it moves, and then when you roll out it moves back smoothly. Does anyone have a simple code or example I can see how the fla would look. I can adjust it to work for what I want but I am dont understand where I put the movie clip of the animation in the file
Thanks

Roll Over Not Working Within Another Roll Over
Hi,

I have created a roll over and attached it to a movieclip. I have then created another movie clip inside that and applied the same roll over. Only the first one works?

To explain further:

I have created a circle on the stage and turned it into a movieclip. I have then attached some code to it that bascially tells it to grow 10% larger when you roll over it. This works fine...

I then created another, smaller circle (and turned this into a movie clip) inside the movie clip and attached the same code to it. For some reason I cannot get the smaller circle roll over to work? Only the larger circle works each time. Is it possible to have a roll over work within a roll over?

Any help is really appreciated:-)
