MC rollOver and delay at rollOut 1

[HuggerFanta]

Hello I´m back!!!

Sorry for that!!!!

I need some help with an effect like this page are using;

http://www.eau.generale-des-eaux.com/

Drag over the menu to the left, it folds out and when rollOut it waits a couple of sec before it hides.

Kind of slov page, but the effect is nice I think, how do I make it my self??? --------------------------------------
Kind regards;

Your menu animation movieclip should be set up like this (MX version):

Frame 1: only the 'rollover' graphic and a stop() action
Frame 2-whatever: the tweened/animated rollout bit
Frame whatever: the fully rolled out menu with a stop() action
Frame whatever+1: the menu rolling back

Give it the instance name 'menu' then this code goes on frame 1, main timeline:

_global.vanish;
function menuPlay(clip) {
	clip.play();
	clearInterval(vanish);
}
menu.onRollOver = function() {
	//rollout
	this.gotoAndPlay(2);
};
menu.onRollOut = function() {
	//delay and rollback (half a second delay, change the 500 to whatever you want)
	vanish = setInterval(menuPlay, 500, this);
};

got it,
i made an invisible button under your menu that provides a rollout action to make the menu disappear,

won't describe everything i did now, just download the files on

and

http://www.8ung.at/fjperchtoldsdorf/tek-tips/hugger.swf

and i deleted all global variables as i couldn't use them, yet it works properly without them. regards

You don't need invisible buttons etc - just make sure the "button" is all one movieclip like I said and it'll work fine: the 'rollover' area expands as the clip expands.

 

[HuggerFanta]

OK!
I´ll try that! --------------------------------------

That code in a practical example:

Just looked at your code - this was the problem:

onClipEvent(load){
_this.stop();
}

...should have been:

onClipEvent(load){
this.stop();
}

...it works fine if you do that.

well, in my solution all the scripts are on the instances of the movieclips of the button that makes the menue visible and on the invisible button (just click below the words "the movieclip menue"

might not be the most elegant solution but finally it works ;-) regards

Hello again wangbar!!!
I´m afraid that it still don´t work!

When just putting the mouse over the menuClip it folds out.

But the problem is when moving over the menuClip, then it just go wild, even yours if you run the mouse over it when folding out the menu!!!

Do you or anyone else got som brilliant idéas to how we can solve that???

Make a two frame movieclip.
give stop on first frame.
on movieclip write code
on enterframe
if (this.hittest(_xmouse,_ymouse,true))
this.gotoandstop(2)
else
gotoandstop(1)
