Button enlarges via rollover

Hi fellow Musers,
Just a quick question. My client wants me to create a button rollover (image) that enlarges. Can someone help me how to do this if its possible.
thank you
Andy

Hi Andy
I believe you want a button which should expand on rollover. This can be done using tooltip.
Drag the trigger in position ,align it properly on page and select show target on rollover. You can either keep both aligned on page or you can place the trigger behind target area and make both trigger and target size in such a way that on rollover it would create an effect as the button is enlarging.
Let me know if you have questions.
Thanks,
Sanjit

HT1476 i-phone3 wont recharge; initially home button wouldn't work. Applied the 'auto-touch button thing' via settings. This worked until I ran out of battery life. Now it won't recharge either via laptop (usually does) or wall switch. Just a blk screen.

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

Revealing extra buttons in a Rollover???

I am looking to create a button that will automatically reveal another 3 buttons as a rollover. When you highlight a button that is not within the 3 they should disappear. I understand that one way of doing this is to make another menu and have the rollover automatically link to the other menu showing the other buttons, but unfortunetly I need this to work on a laptop and doing it this way only seems to work on dvd players. It does work on the laptop in a sence, but to reveal the other buttons you need to actually click on the link rather then just roll your mouse over it.
Is there any way I can make this happen????
Cheers,
Jesse

What you have you have described is the method that comes closest to making rollovers, no good/100% reliable way to do so - some players may respond to the rollover without clicking, some may not.

Button Width Via CSS?

Hi -
I tried setting a button <mx:Button> width via CSS but
the "width" tag does
not effect the button.
Rich

"width" is not a style. It is a property, so you can't set it
via CSS.
Depending on where your Button is located and why you want to
use a
style, you could set the "left" and "right" constraints,
which will
indirectly set the width based on the size of the Button's
container.

Close Button For the Rollover Sidelet: Size issue?

Hi all,
I am building a slide that incorporates a rollover sidelet.
Since the audience of my tutorial includes some older users, I
would like to make sure that all of the content is easy to view.
My question is this: can the 'close' button that appears in
the top right of the sidelet be enlarged? Currently, the sidelet is
set to 'stick' for an extended period of time: I would like users
who want to skip its content to easily close it, and then continue
the tutorial.
Thanks for the help!
AM

Welcome to our community, AM
Unfortunately we have no control over the size of the button.
You should probably make a request to the development team to
consider adding this in the future.

Button and 'disjointed' rollover

I have put a button in the first frame of a movie clip and a
graphic and the second and third frames. The graphics give the
appearance that the button is being highlighted in a way different
than when you actually roll over the button itself. I am doing this
so that when you rollover a button you can show other buttons with
the secondary highlights.
My questiona are, why does my button loose its own behavior
when I attach a behavior to the movie clip it is contained in?
How can I get both the 'disjointed' rollover and the buttons
own rollover to work at the same time?
my test files
swf -
btnTest2.swf
fla -
btnTest2.fla

Thank you for your reply, I think I understand the 'why' now.
What I mean by the secondary highlights is what I show on the
right-side of my example. I want to mouse over a button and have
another button become 'highlighted' in a way that is different than
the normal button over or down state.
I'm really trying to solve this. I can make it work if I use
a movieclip for all of the button 'states' of up, over, down,
highlight 1, highlight 2 (each in their own frame). I then just add
all of the 'go to frame 2' kind of code and the 'go to frame 4 in
this other button' kind of code to the movieclip. The problem is
that I have 77 of the same 'button' symbol on one page, thats alot
of code to make mistakes with. And I can't make a symbol with all
of the code for 'go to frame 2 on mouseover' already in the
movieclip symbol or I run into the same problem i already have.
Please help me understand this, it seems like it should be
simple.

Invisible submit button with image rollover

I have a need to combine a rollover image with a form submit
button. I need the submit button to not be visible except for those
that know where to look.
I have a database query that displays rows of data. Each row
has a checkbox to select that item, so the data table is in a form;
the checkbox is a cfinput. In order to pass the parameters of the
checked items, a submit button must be used to submit the form
values.
My need is for the submit button to be the rollover image.
Only users that know where to find the rollover image will be able
to submit the list of checked form values. "Regular" users
shouldn't be in that area of the screen.
So, a combined rollover image submit button is needed.
Ideas? Thanks...Rick...

document.yourformname.submit didn't work.
But then discovered that the href value needs to be empty (or
"#") to work. This code works: (rollover images with the submit()
code):
<a href="#"
onClick="javascript:submit()"
onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image9','','images/change-meeting-date.png',1)"
onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()">
<img src="images/blank-hidden-area.png"
name="Image9"
width="111"
height="11"
border="0"
id="Image9" />
</a>
When, in DW, you add the rollover image, you need to leave
the href value empty. I suppose that lets the submit button use the
<cfform action...> value as the results page, letting the
form values pass to the results page.
Now, the next step is to have two different rollover images
with submits() that point to two different result pages, while
still using one cfform. (Two submits in one form, each submit
pointing to a different results page.)

Hyperlinks within a button / button within a rollover button?

Hi folks,
I'm quite the newbie here (print designer trying my hand at multimedia news projects), so I apologize in advance for sounding stupid a bit too often.
OK, so I'm working on a project, and it's going OK. What I want to do is for the user to rollover a button/object, and a little pop-up box will show up, and it will have some text/photos/... Pretty routine stuff. That I can accomplish without a problem...
Now, what I want to add in there is also a hyperlink that will open a Web page in a new window. And that's where I get stuck. It won't let me.
I assume it's because part of the rollover thing in the button symbol. That's how I'm doing it so far.
So, is there anything I can do going that route, or do I need to take another approach?
I'm thinking the other option would be to create a movie clip, which would hold the pop-up box and the photos and the like, then make a button within that which would hold the hyperlink. Then, I could create an object right on the timeline with a rollOver that would trigger the movie-clip instance.
Does that make any sense?
I'm using CS3, but I also have access to CS4 if needed.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Ned,
Thanks for the reply. I think I know what you mean. So anything that's triggered with a button cannot have anything inside triggered again.
To put it pretty simply, this is what I have:
There's a fever chart, and there are several points that I would like highlighted along the way.
So, when I roll over, say, the highest point, a balloon of sorts would pop up. It would have some text and photos and whatnot, but it would also have hyperlinks.
So... What's the best way to approach it?
I'm thinking the balloon of sorts would be its own movie clip, and all the goodies would be inside of it.
Now, to trigger it, should there be an object converted to a symbol to trigger it? Then, should I do a on(rollOver) kind of thing? When I roll over it, it would play that instance.
Or, the other option would be to do a rollover that would go to a certain layer/frame and play that.
What do you think?
Again, I'm sorry about my ignorance.
Thanks!

Button focus if rollover for 3 seconds

Hi all,
Is it possible to achieve the same effect as clicking a
button by holding the cursor over it for a few seconds? If so, how
would I achieve this?
Many thanks,
Paul

NOT TESTED === NO FLASH ON THIS COMPUTER.
But you want something that will start a timer on you
rollover, fire another
event after three seconds, and quit the timer when it reashes
3 seconds or
when you roll out.
myMovieClip.onRelease = handleRelease;
myMovieClip.onRollOver = handleRollover;
myMovieClip.onRollOut = handleRollout;
var mydate = new Date();
function handleRollover() {
var mytime = mydate.getTime();
this.onEnterFrame = fucntion() {
if (mydate.getTime() - mytime > 3000) {
this.handleRelease();
delete this.onEnterFrame;
function handleRollout() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
function handleRelease() {
trace("It worked");

Animation jumps to button keyframe on rollover

I have what I hope is a basic question. When I view my animation in browser, it plays fine, but if I rollover the animation (with the mouse) at any point while it is playing, it jumps to the keyframe where I have a button set up. I'm hoping that this is a simple action that I am forgetting to set? Any help is appreciated! Thanks,

Adding a button to a rollover state

I made the register page with imageready for the graphics,
over/click/out states... then saved the optimized as html and user
dreamweaver to add the check boxes text forms... now i need to add
a button or a link to an image so that it sends the information to
my database... i am using XAMPP for MySQL, Apache(PHP), and some
other stuff am not to aware of it yet... Now i also want to be able
to find a person who is able to help me also with my database
issues so i am able to use it correctly
Ok, maybe i need to be more specific... I made the graphics
part of the page in Imageready, i then saved its optimized version
of it into html and images, portion of the graphics has an images
that have OVER/CLICK/OUT states and i need to make that into a
button using dreamweaver, if possible i would like to know how to
implement into the page

var someObject:MovieClip; // this is declared - only
var someObjectMovieClip = new MovieClip(); // this is declared and instantiated
Make sure your code uses aghains and not instancename like your code shows.
I don't think you understand the third and fifth items I listed either. The third is saying that the code is not in the same frame as the item it is trying to target. The fifth has to do with objects in consecutive frames, not linking.
If you followed what I mentioned in the last sentence you should have a line number indicated in the error message that will tell you which line is causing the problem. Whatever line that is, the object doesn't exist as far as the code sees it. So if it was the line...
instancename.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_28);
I can guarantee you that there is no object named instancename in the frame where you have that code since it is the only object targeted in that line of code.

Trying to simulate button click via ActionScript

Hello,
I've got code written to tell if a user is hitting his/her
left or right arrow keys. I currently have a "next" button named
realNext, and a "back" button named realBack. Both buttons have
lots of code written in their on(release) functions. How can I
utilize ActionScript to simulate a button click?
Here's my code thus far:

I have never had success **** this by calling the onRelease
or onPress event functions. So to get around this I define other
functions that do all of the work and then just use the onRelease
and onPress event functions as callers.
For example.
button1.onRelease = myFunction;
function myfunction():Void {
// code goes here
Now with this I can either press the button to ge thte code
executed or I can "simulate" the button being pushed by just
calling myFunction().

Two button mouse via XP?

Is it possible to attach a two-button (or more!) windows compatible mouse to a macbook pro for use in XP through boot camp? As a gamer it would certainly come in handy!

Yes, XP and OS X will both pick up USB mice and use them as normal.

Text as rollover via overlay problems

I've been trying to search posts for an answer to this, but nothing I've found seems to be helping.
I'm currently making a simple DVD with two menu buttons. One rollover has the word "english" pop up under the english title of the movie, and the button next to it has an "espanol" rollover pop up when the user hovers over the spanish movie title.
So I made an overlay with a black background and white text, trying to make photoshop use only 4 colors since I only have 3 bits of colors to work with. I did my best to make them look passably smooth via tweaking the highlight colors, but in the end the client keeps complaining that the rollovers look aliased (especially that tilde that they've been going on for 3 days about). Is there a better process for creating text overlays, or is this a recipe for disaster due to all the curving lines? Can anybody give me a place to look that has a definitive "DVDs can not do this", if it's really a technology limitation I'm up against?
Thank you in advance.

Instead of 3 colors make it one color and use a grayscale overlay. This will be "better" but you will still see some "stair steps". The other solution, which a lot of "Hollywood" DVDs use is just have a underline under the word and not have a overlay of text.
