So… I’ve looked at both of these tutorials and I’m trying to combine their best elements:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/button_effect.htm
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/advroll.htm
What I would ideally like to do is, have a button which has an animated effect on rollover – specifically, the button grows a glow surrounding itself, and text fades in and moves next to the button – and then the reverse on rollout.
Issues arise when I build out buttons like this, and the biggest problem is that rollover/rollout animations get interrupted if people do not wait to let them load completely – so that if someone rolls over, then out too quickly, the button behaves awkwardly.
Is there a way to create a smooth rollover/rollout button that prevents people from making the animation “jump”, while simultaneously calling into action a target that behaves the same way?
Thanks for any help
