I got this movie clip from flashguru. I want to modify it so that when the mouse hovers over or near the buttons, the line and buttons follow the mouse. Why is it that i can’t seem to find the actions for the hex button, but when i open the debugger i can see it clear as day. Where is this missing frame so that i can change the on state of the mouse? Its driving me insane!
the button is in a movieclip.
this was made in flash 5 where you couldnt control button position via actionscript. To move a button you would have to place it in a movieclip and move that movieclip (which I still do since buttons arent ‘this’-referencing)
So just double click the hex to open it and select the hex again (which is the button) to get the code.
I would also like to take this time to familiarize you with the movie exlorer. Know it. Use it. Like it. (Live with it!)
ok kool, now i see it and i can change the on state from press to rollover.
Now, if i want the area directly to the left of the hexagons to be the area where the hexagons will follow the mouse do i create area masks and set the On rollover actions to the mask?
if you look “inside” the button symbol you’ll see that the last frame is called hit. Whatever you put in that frame whereever you put it, it will be the area where the button reacts to the mouse (they can be multiple areas in multiple places)
