		<description>It seems to me that AS3 is so much more complicated than AS1 or AS2 to the point where you have to do so much more to get a simple button animation. 
I have a movie clip that consists of a pop up button. When the viewer clicks on the the button &quot;Galleries&quot; a tab pops up to show subcategories. As the view movies his cursor over the subcategories those buttons turn pink (from black) and when the viewer releases the cursor on a specific subcategory the movie loads the appropriate subcategory .swf . I can&#039;t for the life of me figure out how I&#039;m going to translate this in AS3. Can anyone help?
If you need a visual please visit my website at http://www.redmuse.com 
Thanks,</description>

		<description>I would really like some help with this, cause I simply can&#039;t get it to work. I make the keyframe &quot;_over&quot; (it&#039;s the only one I need), and apply &quot;stop();&quot; to it in the actions panel. And at frame 1 in the timeline, I add your code. 

But when I play the movie, it just plays the timeline. The over-function doesn&#039;t work at all!

What&#039;s going on? My MC is made in photoshop, and then put into Flash, but that can&#039;t be it right?</description>

		<description>I am a Noob to Flash and am having problems getting some movieclips to link to different URLs on release. I am able to get them to animate, and I am able to get them to link to an html page in the same folder, but I can’t get both functionalities to work at the same time and it is driving me crazy!!  I&#039;ve tried putting the actionscript in the instance object, in the action layer, and other things and nothing seems to work!?


Here is the link to the source file:   http://www.myfavorites.com/flashtest/header_v8_122209_v2.fla
I believe that the actionscripting needs to be done in the &quot;baners&quot; movieclip, but it could also be the &quot;Symbol 3&quot; movieclip.  I&#039;m not sure and this is where I also need help.


Here is also a link to the .swf (http://www.myfavorites.com/flashtest/header_v8_122209_v2.swf).  See, if you mouse over the first two clips, they animate, but they do not go to the HTML page if you click on them (http://www.myfavorites.com/flashtest/success1.html).  The third clip will go to the page success1.html in the same folder if you click on it, but it does not animate on mouse over.


I&#039;m using Flash CS3 as my editor and I&#039;m using ActionScript 2.0 for the scripting.

Any help you can provide on this is most appreciated!!  I&#039;m normally pretty good at figuring out things on my own, but This problem is driving me crazy!!</description>

		<description>Hey guys, I just started to learn about flash scripting and bumped into this nice page.

I have no problems making attractive buttons by first doing the animation work in after effects and then importing and assembling it in flash. 

But what I do have problems with is finding out how to make a button animation play out until it finishes and not stop immediately after mouse over even is o longer active, for example.

Or for example I would like user to click on button to start animation, but delay the link activation until animation play out.

I have scoured the web to no avail, or I maybe just dont understand scripting in as3 enough, my guess is itshould not be that hard:-)

I would be grateful is someone pointed me in the right direction, either a tut or a hint on how to script the thing to work in the described manner.

Many thanks,</description>

		<description>Hi Jen, all,

I&#039;m having difficulty with the second half of step 4 (&quot;Put stop actions at each frame label, and change the graphics and/or add some animation at each state.&quot;)

I can&#039;t wrape my mind around how to add animation at each state. for instance, I want an &quot;over&quot; state to gradually change its tint from the &quot;up&quot; state as the cursor moves over the button. 

how do I do that? do I make a movie clip of the tint change and embed it within the frame of the &quot;over&quot; state? that hasn&#039;t worked (the button refuses to function at all)

cheers</description>
