Anyone know how to get MC to detect mouse over on btns

1

Hi all,

I’m hoping someone can help me with this problem, that has me stumped! :huh:

What I would like to do is this:

  • I have a mask layer (which is a movie clip) “mask1”
  • I have a button(s) on my menu “b1”,“b2”, …
  • I have programmed actions into the mask movie clip, but need to have the movie clip detect when the/a button is on a RollOver state to trigger the appropriate behaviour.

Nothing I have tried so far seems to work. Can anyone help?

The actionscript I am using now is:

b1:

on(rollOver){
_parent.mask1.buttonCaller = this;
}

mask1:

onClipEvent (load) {
_y = getProperty(_root.mask1._y, _y);
speed = 5;
menuOffy = -7.0;
menuOny = 129.0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (buttonCaller._name == “b1”) {
_y = getProperty(_root.mask1._y, _y);
endY = menoOny;
_y += (endY-_y)/speed;
}
else {
_y = getProperty(_root.mask1._y, _y);
endY = _y;
_y += (menuOffy-_y)/speed;
}
}

Also attached is a test fla file.

Thanks for your help!
