Flash :: Use Default Cursor Onmouseover

Show Default Cursor OnMouseOver Buttons?
Can someone please tell me how I can make the default mouse cursor (pointer) not to be changed to a "hand" when mouse is over on a button???
I've tried all the javascript that I know, none of them worked.

Thank you very much.

Default Cursor Location
New to creating anything in Flash, I would like to know if it's possible to make the cursor appear automatically within a "password" field (Input Text Field) when that frame is displayed within the flash mx movie?

I can get the field to work fine, just want the cursor to appear there automatically without having to click in the field with the mouse.

The field is the only one on the frame.

Hope someone can help.

Cheers

Keeping Cursor Default Even Over Button?
hello everyone,

I am trying to maintain the cursor as its default value when mousing over something with button like properties. I have numerous movie clips, and on click, will perform a specified event. However, I want the focus to remain on the one brought to the front. I have managed to make all the other clips un-clickable(ie; will do nothing while something else is focused). However, the annoying cursor still pops up. ack.... ideas.... I dont want to have to resort to custom cursors....

Changing Mouse Cursor To Default On Hover
Hello,

So I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I've looked all over here and other websites and can't find the answer. Here's the situation: I have a movieClip that has an animation inside of it. When the movieClip is hovered over, it changes to the hand (indicating it's clickable). What I need to be able to do is change the hand back to the default cursor. Every single article I've read is about how to change your cursor to something else (using mouse.hide() and replacing it with an image), which is not what I want.

It seems like this should be a relatively simple fix, but I can't find anything anywhere. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Custom Mouseover Cursor : Can You Override Default Settings?
Hello,

I've designed a new cursor with a custom over state, basically a movieclip with 2 frames (frame 1 : custom cursor. frame 2 : custom over cursor)

On the cursor MC, I have the following code :

code:
onClipEvent (load) {
Mouse.hide();
startDrag(this, true);
}

On the buttons, I use the following code :

code:
on (rollOver) {
_root.mycursor.gotoAndStop(2); // plays the over state
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.mycursor.gotoAndStop(1); // goes back to basic state
}

The thing is, this custum cursor idea came relatively late in this (fairly large) project, therefore having to update every button and every clickable area would take me many hours, with uncertain results...

I was wondering if it was possible to find an easier way to make Flash use a custom cursor on every mouseover state, without having to put the code above on EVERY button...

Thank you for your time.

Show Hand Cursor Instead Of Default Arrow On Movieclips
I have searched this forum and really tried to figure this out myself, but I haven't made any progress at all.
I load movieclips dynamically with actionscript. I want all these to have the hand cursor instead of the default arrow.

I've read that mc.onPress=function(){}; should solve the problem. I set the alpha property of my movieclips like this:
this["photo_mc"+i]._alpha = 0;
so I thought this would give me the hand cursor:
this["photo_mc"+i].onPress=function(){};
But I was oh so wrong.
this["photo_mc"+i].useHandCursor; doesn't work any better.

Do you have any ideas of how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance.

OnMouseOver?
im new to flash mx, and am currently working on redoing my portfolio. What I need to do is have a movie clip that is covering another disappear when the mouse rolls over it. In flash five, there was a syntax onMouseOver that would allow for code to be called on a rollover. But I can't find it anywhere in mx!!

does anyone know how to do a rollover like i've described?? (and don't tell me to make it a button.)

thanks

Onmouseover On Top Of A Onmouseover Possible?
Hi, I'm stuck...

I got a menu, that only shows the word menu in the flash movie. On a mouseover the whole menu slides in to fill the movie almost entirely. As long as the mouse is over the menu it has to stay above.
This works fine. However, what I can't get to work is another 'onmouseover' within the menu (for the 'buttons', a fade effect). Can I only use one mouseover without other little mouseovers on top of that? If so, what is a good solution to overcome this problem?

Thanks,

Harrie.

OnMouseOver?
Good afternoon .

I'm getting quite annoyed at this script i'm trying to get working .. Because it wont .. obviously. What I need my animation to do, is when the pointer hovers over the animation, it starts, and have it stop and reset when it rolls off the object. Also needing it to stop at the end of the animation whlie the cursor is still on it.

Can anyone help me? I seem to be running myself in circles here. Thanks.

OnMouseover Event
Hi all, unsing flash 5 and i'm making a menu. I want to be able to control a specific button, so when i leave the buttons "Hit area" and move over to the sub menu, it will stay as an onMouseover and not go back to default.

The only way i can think of doing it is having a movie clip with the 2 states, normal & over and then have a trancparent button so it's clickable, but at the same time i can control the movie behind it with the 2 different states... Is there an easier way with actionscript?

I wish you could name the buttons in flash 5 and control them like you can the movie files. Have they got this feature in flash MX?

thanks all

OnMouseOver Without See The Hand

Help With OnMouseover Functions...
Hi, i have created a flash program which creates a map of blocks from an array. 0 = no block, 1 = block. What i am trying to do is, when you mouseover one of these blocks, i want it to fade out, and be counted as "visible = 0".

Here is what i have got so far (on the block iteself):

Code:
onClipEvent (load)
{
this.onRollOver = function()
{
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}
However, all this does is gotoAndStop(2) on the block movieclip, and only when it is "mouse overed". Any idea how i would fix this? I have included the file as an attachment too... thanx!

OnMouseOver Headaches
Peps ~ I created a scene with Buttons. There are 8 Buttons representing 8 different Cities. (Red/Green) When you [RollOver] the Red Button, it shld turn to Green and advance to another Frame. If you [RollOut], it shld return to its' Starting Point, however if when on the Green Button, if you [Press], you shld move up another Frame and a Graphic Display will show.

Upon [RollOut] it shld again take you back to the Starting Point [Frame 1]. On the first button, it works like a charm but none of the other ones work at all. I inspected the Movie Explorer and noticed that there are far too many Action Scipts going on and I can't tell which one is making this thing work. I did a Screen Capture on my Script if and if you'd like 2C what I have going on, I will Post it.

I created an original set of Buttons and didn't like them so I created a new set of Buttons and although I don't see them in my Movie Scene, I think the Script that was written at the time is still in the Legend, so I'm afraid to Delete anything because I don't know which would be safe.

Would Someone like 2C these Scripts and C if htye can figure out which script is making this action work and which scripts R just taking up space?

OnMouseOver Delay?
I'm trying to create an action that delays an action for a few seconds before the action occurs.

An example would be a button has two ways to activate a followon action.

On way would be on click.
The second would be onMouseOver but with a twist.

If the user holds the cursor on teh button for about 3 seconds - the action triggers.

If they just roll over the button with a time of less than 3 seconds - nothing happens.

Any ideas on how to program the delay?

A simple if statement?

Help With OnMouseOver Arrangement
I have 12 buttons on stage, in 3 rows of 4. When you mouseover each button, I have a image 'hovering' over the button, and when you mouseout, the image 'disappears'. However, some buttons due to the "arrange, bring to front, send to back thing" is causing some images to not pop up to the very top, but displays behind some buttons. I cannot get them all to be 'ONTOP' so whatever one you mouseover will display the picture clearly.

OnMouseOver Problems
Hello.

I have 2 movie clips in my flash-file. Both of them are simple rectangels for now.
What I need is that the second rectangle must avoid intersections(overlappings, hitTest()) with the first one.
Here's the code I wrote:

Code:
var oldx=0;
var oldy=0;

_root.onMouseMove=function() {
if(!_root.basebl.hitTest(_root.dynbl)) {
oldx=_root.dynbl._x;
oldy=_root.dynbl._y;
_root.dynbl._x=_root._xmouse;
_root.dynbl._y=_root._ymouse;
}
else
{
_root.dynbl._x=oldx;
_root.dynbl._y=oldy;
_root._xmouse=oldx;
_root._ymouse=oldy;
}
}

It works but when I move the mouse fast its not avoiding intersection.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Animation Onmouseover
I like this site www.eyeblaster.com , and am designing a set of pliers that has some tools that open from it, like a"Leatherman" tool. I need one tool to open on a mouseover of a word, and another different tool to open on mouseover of another word, etc. All I get is all tools opening onmousover of either word. Can someone help out with a little guidance, since I apparently am clueless in Flash today. Thanks in advance.

What Is Syntax For OnMouseOver?
I have an object instance called thumbnail1 with the following code...

this["thumbnail1"].onPress = function() { // code here works perfect; }
this["thumbnail1"].onMouseOver = this["thumbnail1"].displayHoverState();

When user hovers over my object, I want my object to invokes its displayHoverState() function. Why it is not working?

I think the syntax "onMouseOver" is incorrect. Since it is not highlighting the correct color in the code panel.

OnMouseOver In Anchor Tag
I understand that when applying html text to a textfield you can have an anchor tag call a specific function. My question, however, is if you can call a function on rollover of the anchor tag?

Example:

Instead of this...
<a href='asfunction:_root.test'>Click here to call the test function</a>

I'd like this...
<a href='' onMouseOver='asfunction:_root.test'>Rollover here to call the test function</a>

Thanks in advance!

Onmouseover Question
My appologies in advance for this question, as i'm sure its so basic its laughable.

Im using Adobe flash CS3 to make a new flash movie and i've been reading all the tutorials I can.

So far I have 4 objects each in their own layer that i've gotten to move across the screen from outside the screen on the left, to the center of the screen using a motion tween.

Now I want to have the flash stop at this point and listen for a mouseover.

If the mouseover is on object 1, I want to make object 2-4 move back to the left of the screen.

How do I do something like this?

I can figure most stuff out, but a hint in the right direction would be much appreciated. Basicly how can I make an object in another layer begin a motion tween when another object is onmouseover'd. ?

Thanks!

Onmouseover Confusion
When i make an "onmouseover" why does the the object which has to appear when mouse goes over the original button(on stage), becomes a button too ?
i put keyframes in down and hit states but the the object which has to appear on "onmouseover" appears but disappears on mouse down n hit state .
You'll understand my question more after lookin at the .fla.

Thankyou.

OnMouseOver Effect
Is there any code that works like the onMouseOver function on HTML pages? I wanted to use the Flash textfield capabilities to handle a menu and a enormous amount of content.

OnMouseOver Used With A Movieclip
I'm trying to keep all of my code on the timeline (not on a button). Is there a way to use onMouseOver on the timeline, or do I have to use hitTarget or an if/then with x/y coordinates?
Thanks.

Onmouseover A Button I Want To Trigger A MC

Sound Not Playing OnMouseover
Okay,

Here is a really stupid question! I've done a lot of stuff in Flash but apparently I've never needed a sound to play when you mouse over a button!!

This is just a little button .swf embedded in html and I want it to play a sound when the mouse is over it. I imported my sound as an .mp3. The button is on the stage of the main movie and the sound was chosen for the 'over' frame of the button as 'event'. I've got the hit area filled and the sound will play just fine when you test the movie but when you put the .swf into the html or do 'publish preview' the sound doesn't play. The button is there, the cursor changes states when you mouse over but the sound doesn't play.

Sorry there isn't any actual code to show on this one but I hope my description makes the problem clear. I went back and checked an .exe I did that had on mouse over sounds and when I did 'publish preview' on it the sounds didn't work on that either!

What did I do wrong?

Thanks!

Directional Onmouseover Question
Hello, haven't posted in here in a long time but I was wondering if anyone could explain to me how to use actionscript or anything else to create buttons that are affected by which direction the mouse is moving when it hits it.

For example, if there were a thin strip in the middle of the page, and it was hit as the mouse moved from left to right with an onmouseover then it would go forward one frame, but if it were hit as the mouse was going from right to left then it would go back one frame.

Basically trying to make a picture program and I know how I want it to work in my mind, just having trouble how to figure out how to get it out of my head and into reality if you know what I mean.

I don't think it's all that difficult, but it's one of those little things that drives you insane when you can't figure it out.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Flash OnMouseOver Problem
Hi,

I am creating a navigation bar and i used an OnMouseOver effect to display the options under each button option. My issue is while the options do appear how do i get them to stay there so i can mouse over them so they can be selected? Everytime i move the cursor away from the the main options the bus options disappear.

This must be quite simple but i'm comletely new to flash and so bear with me plz.

The effect i would like is similar to the navigation bar at the top of the Macromedia site.. www.macromedia.com

Currently the mouseover effect is only on the about us button.
