Hi, guys.=)
I’m very noob to flash (just started) and a bit slow on action script (what a hell, i’m dumb=). I use mc for animated button with a three stages - over, stay over and out where animation starts on over, get to the loop on stay over and finished on mouse out. I found a few pieces of codes over internet, put them toghether, modified a little - fool’s luck - it does a trick for a single button, but luck wears out when i tried multiply it. I have no clue where to go now, tried to use help within flash - to my confusion i don’t understand much. Could anyone share a wisdom with a fool?=)
You’re not dumb. You’re a learner, like the rest of us.
The only version of Flash I’ve used is CS3/AS3.
I’m not sure which version of Flash you’re using but I can open your file and save your button as a library symbol and then save my .fla as a Flash8 file. I hope you can open it.
All I did was draw a selection box around your whole button thing, right-click, and select CONVERT TO SYMBOL. Then I gave it a class name of SnazzyButton. It now sits in the library.
You should be able to drag as many copies onto the stage as you want. I’m assuming you could even write your own class for it if you wanted, but maybe that depends on what version of Flash you’re using.
Good Luck.
PS. HELP within Flash is usually the last place I go when I’m stuck on something. I don’t know why, but the documentation just doesn’t do it for me half the time. Much better off looking at other sites on the internet IMO.
Thanks DiamondDog, you give me hope. But I do have a difficulties to operate things i couldnt visualize as an image, speaking of code.=)
I’m using Flash 8 and for me that button somehow doesn’t work - when i open in preview window all animation starts right away ignoring hitarea, playing straight timeline and stops for good.
