I believe that the actionscripting needs to be done in the “baners” movieclip, but it could also be the “Symbol 3″ movieclip. I’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’m using Flash CS3 as my editor and I’m using ActionScript 2.0 for the scripting.

Any help you can provide on this is most appreciated!! I’m normally pretty good at figuring out things on my own, but This problem is driving me crazy!!

Thanks for the help. When I put the _over on the frame label it works perfectly. but when i roll off, the rollover stays up. any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hello,
I need help with some actionscript!;)

my slideshow is almost workin but i am getting an error message saying:

1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before SimpleButton.

Here is what my code looks like:

stop();
//next button
SimpleButton.addEventListener(next_btn.onPress=function(){
if(studio_art1._currentframe==studio_art1._totalframes){
studio_art1.gotoAndStop(1)
}else{
studio_art1.nextFrame()
}
}

//last button
SimpleButton.addEventListener(back_btn.onPress=function(){
if(studio_art1._currentframe==1){
studio_art1.gotoAndStop(studio_art1._totalframes)
}else{
studio_art1.prevFrame()
}
}

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,

Here’s some flash of mine: http://bit.ly/CtVgv - http://bit.ly/10Th0S

I’m having difficulty with the second half of step 4 (”Put stop actions at each frame label, and change the graphics and/or add some animation at each state.”)

I can’t wrape my mind around how to add animation at each state. for instance, I want an “over” state to gradually change its tint from the “up” 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 “over” state? that hasn’t worked (the button refuses to function at all)

cheers
