Hi, I am working on this flash site http://emiliapelech.com/realideal.html (still has a bunch of problems- needs preloader, etc.) where I am trying to work with an effect where the user controls which image they see with the mouseover mask. To see what I mean, click on one of the names (again, warning that it is slow to load, I just tried it on another computer).
What I need is restrictions on the mouseover area so that you are able to see the whole image at once, that is the mask does not go up or down to cut off parts of the image or text it reveals. I also need the boundary to allow the mouse to not be active when above the images so the cursor is not constantly active and make the ‘credits’ and ‘about’ buttons on a lower layer are still accessible.
I tried adapting the mouse restriction used in this example http://www.mikeziray.com/tag/flash/ (for the grey box) but got a very jittery effect and the movement still wasn’t restricted along the x-axis properly.
Let me know if any more info is needed to understand my problem. Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks!
