on (rollOver)... but for Movie clip, not button 1

[adamr1001]

hi,

i'm making an advertising banner that scrolls info, and when the mouse goes over the Flash object the contents completely change... so right now i do this using a button the size of the stage - where in the 'up' frame there is the scrolling Movie Clip, and in the 'over' frame there is the other moie clip. this works perfectly well but i do not want the mouse to change to the 'hand-pointer-thingy'; i'd like it to stay as an arrow.

please advise....

thanks!

mouse.useHandCursor = false;

second thoughts...i seem to remember you have target the movie clip...so it may be

clip.useHandCursor = false;

hmmm small problem...button inside a button makes glitches

i think i need to change the main button to a movie clip - and add: on(rollOver) and on(rollOut) listeners to it... how can i do this? what's the syntax?

thanks!

main timeline

myClip.onRollover = function()[
//what you want
}

same just with rollOut

this is interesting...

the rollover/rollout for the movieclip worked great, but the buttons inside the movieclip are not responsive....

 

[billwatson]

did you taget them correctly

myclip.mybutton.onRollover =

okay: i've got Mclip1. and Mclip2 is activated when i roll over Mclip1. this works fine:

Mclip1.onRollOver = function() {
Mclip2.gotoandplay("on"
};



but inside Mclip2 - there are buttons - and so when i hover over a button inside Mclip2 - Mclip1 see thats as a 'rollout' (because i am now 'over' another button, so as a result Mclip1's rollout function is triggered:

Mclip1.onRollOut = function() {
Mclip2.gotoandstop("off"
};

..which makes the buttons inside Mclip2 inaccessible.

thanks for your help on this!

Yep! Old problem!
You'll have to resort to something like this, using a hitTest on the mc.
