rollovers

[z35]

Hi,

I have a simple question. In frame number 5 of my movie clip's timeline, I have a 2 buttons. When you rollover the button, I want a picture to appear. when you roll out, it should disappear. when you press, it should stay....until you roll over the next button. How can I do this? Is it even possible?

...remember, the buttons are inside a movie clip.

Please give me any ideas you have...thanks.

Hi,

Here's how I would do it

Create 2 new movieclips. Name them pic1 and pic2.
In both of these movieclips label the first frame "normal" and put a stop(); action in it.

Label the second frame "over", place your picture in it and put a stop(); action in it.

The code you put in your first button is:

on (rollOver) {
_root.pic1.gotoAndStop ("over"
_root.pic2.gotoAndStop ("normal"

}
on (rollOut) {
_root.pic1.gotoAndStop ("normal"
}
on (release) {
_root.pic1.gotoAndStop ("over"
}


code for the second button is:


on (rollOver) {
_root.pic2.gotoAndStop ("over"
_root.pic1.gotoAndStop ("normal"

}
on (rollOut) {
_root.pic2.gotoAndStop ("normal"
}
on (release) {
_root.pic2.gotoAndStop ("over"
}

My way of tackling a similar problem followed the same lines as the above response.

Basically, create a new movieclip, in this case called "info", where your picture appears in a keyframe (in my case/this example) at frame 52. Put a stop action at say, frame 62.

On roll out, direct the FlashPlayer to frame 1 of your movieclip which in my case is empty, other than for a blank keyframe with a stop action.

The syntax from my movie is as follows. (Scene one (my main movie) frame 194 contains a getURL action to make the link work).

To summarize: Rollover - graphic appears, rollout - graphic disappears, keypress - return to main timeline, frame 194 which contains the getURL action.


on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("_root.info&quot {
gotoAndPlay (52);
}
}
on (rollOut) {
tellTarget ("_root.info&quot {
gotoAndPlay (1);
}
}
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 1", 194);
}

Hope this helps.

Merry Christmas.
