Rollover

1

Your help is needed!! I want to create a menu which comes in from the side of the page when the mouse is placed over it. (When it is off the page it looks like a tab). To do this I used this code:

on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay(30);
}

That works fine, the problem I’m having is putting buttons on the menu when it slides out. I have got the button as a symbol and put on this code:

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(“Products”);
}

This normally would work but as it is on a rollover image then you click on it, it doesn’t work (you can see the button ok).

Any ideas on how i can do this or will I need to do something else other than a rollover. Cheers for any help (-: .

maybe include the fla or a swf to preview?

use,

onClipEvent(mouseDown){
if(this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)){
//action
}
}

because clipEvents are registered before on
Though, you should use frame-based codes, see:

I don’t know how to upload the actual .fla file to this forum:sure:

I have tried the code, but to no avail (to be honest i’m not too sure how to use it!).

Cheers!

onClipEvent(mouseDown){
if(this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)){
//action
}
}

Put that on the items, then replace the “//actions” text to the action you want it to do
