Rollover - the rollOUT part

1

Hey All:

Ive been using the typical way for rollovers and the rollout like in the tutorial found on this site (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/advroll.htm).

However, its always bothered me a bit in terms of the RollOut part of the animation. When you move the cursor/mouse quickly across multiple items, the ‘Play’ rollout part stops suddenly and does not finish.

How can you make sure the rollout play all the way through no matter what.
I guess also, if u move the cursor/mouse away before the entire RollOver finishes, it’ll just start the RollOut…

Sorta like on the main nav of: http://www.wa007.com/

I hope this makes sense…
Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Shelby.

Fisrt u need to know they dont use basic onRollOver…

use a movieclip for button


onClipEvent(load){
stat = 0
alphaspeed = 2
maxalpha = 100
minalpha = 60
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
         if(stat == 0){
                   if(this._alpha < maxalpha){
                            this._alpha += alphaspeed
                    }  
         } else if(stat == 1){
                    if(this._alpha < minalpha){
                             this._alpha -= alphaspeed
                    }
         }
}
on(rollOver){
      stat = 1
}
on(rollOut){
      stat = 0
}on(dragOver){
      stat = 1
}on(dragOut){
      stat = 0
}

then ull have a constant recover of your status

or just use a variable.

put this on the button


if(!playing) {
on(rollover) {
this.playing = 1;
}
}

then on the last frame of the rollout mc

playing = 0;

Hey Peeps.

thanks for the help; really appreciate it. This all gives me some insight on what I need to do, However, my AS isn’t very good and with many of the lines… well I’m just not sure what each does or how to adjust it to what I need.

Could u give me a bit more insight on the lines of code? Will I be able use 2 different animations for the over and out still??

Thanks again.
Still quite a rookie when it comes to AS.

Shelby.

Copy - paste this code on a movieClip that would be your button


onClipEvent(load){
stat = 0
alphaspeed = 2
maxalpha = 100
minalpha = 60
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
         if(stat == 0){
                   if(this._alpha < maxalpha){
                            this._alpha += alphaspeed
                    }  
         } else if(stat == 1){
                    if(this._alpha < minalpha){
                             this._alpha -= alphaspeed
                    }
         }
}
on(rollOver){
      stat = 1
}
on(rollOut){
      stat = 0
}on(dragOver){
      stat = 1
}on(dragOut){
      stat = 0
}on(release){
/*Actions you wanna do when button's clicked*/
}
