Button Rollover Effect with ClickTag

I am making a Flash ad for my company. I am a beginner/intermediate Flash user. I need to add a clickTag, which is done. The issue is that I want the button to "shimmer" when it is rolled over. I cannot figure out how to make this work with the clickTag having to be the topmost layer in the file. Can someone please help?
This is what I have so far:
shinyButton.onRollOver = function() {
this.glitter.play();
clicktag_but.onPress = function(){
getURL(_root.clickTAG, "_blank");
Thanks!

If the clickTag is blocking access to the other button then what you could probably do is put the clickTag button to work for that...
clicktag_but.onRollOver = function() {
shinyButton.glitter.play();
clicktag_but.onPress = function(){
getURL(_root.clickTAG, "_blank");
And since you probably want to restrict the rollover to the area where the shinyButton is, then you could include conditionals to test if the mouse is in the area where the shinyButton is. (using shinyButton._x, _y, _width, _height)
Another option that might even be easier is to place the shiny button atop the clicktag button and assign it the same onPress functionality as the clicktag button so that you don't have a hole in the clickability.

Create a rollover effect with an avg with edge animate

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to create a rollover effect (i.e. get my social media icons spin or drop shadow or change color) when I hover over them, I know how to do it with CSS 3 but I think it will also be useful if I learn how to do it with Adobe Edge Animate. I appreciate your time.
Thank you.

Button Rollover without Layer-based-MENU

Hello everybody !
i want to realize a "rollover-Effect" with a script or anything. I know the great possibilities with the layer-based-menu, but the dvd should run on every player. Do anybody have some tips for me?
Thank you
Greeting
Alex

When you say rollover effect, are you trying to get additional graphics to show up as buttons are selected, or simply illuminate a button as it is rolled over?
Have you read up on button highlight masks? There are limitations, but this method can get images to appear as buttons are selected.

Rollover button css styled with php function: possible?

Hi,
I created a working rollover button css styled, with normal href links, using this html:
<a href="link"><click here>Text</a>
But I would like to know how I can create a "contact us" button with following php function included:
<?=createMailto('[email protected]')?>

Well, I wrote the button code as mentioned in my first post, but the button does not call the email php function. When I replace the link in a href="link" with the php function, I can't get it to work.
I have to use href to get the button to display, and to change state on hover; but I don't know how to get the php function to work. Using this function as a plain function call within a regular tag works.

Cannot Use Rollover Functions With Templates

I'm surprised that you do not hear anything about this, but
if you create a template in Dreamweaver 8, your buttons will work
but you cannot use rollover effects. That stinks! Does anyone know
of a hack, plug in, etc. to get around this bug? It seems like i
always find the bugs for some reason.
Thanks for any help.

They have always worked in every version from DW2 through the
current CS3,
which is what I am using.
Show me a child page where they are not working, please, by
posting a link
to one.

Rollover effects

what i want to achieve is a rollover effect, when i rollover my home button i would like a line with the button (PHOTOGRAPHY) to transition fade in and appear next to it. Example is provided.

I don't know how to place something inside the target container. In your video how did you place the blue bar within the target container?

Rollover Effects -- Just Limited to Text... Need Them for Other Objects!

Help!
I am a print graphic designer who doesn't want to take the time to learn Dreamweaver, etc. I simply want to get my work samples online. So I bought iWeb '08 and have been tinkering with it.
My question about rollovers for link effects: the rollover capability works just fine if the link is just straight text. My problem is that I decided to drop some shapes behind the text links so they would look more like buttons.
When I did this the rollover effects quit working! (Ironically, the effects work just fine when viewing the site in Internet Explorer but DON'T work when viewed with Safari or Firefox.)
Am I doing something wrong? Is there away that I haven't found yet to make rollover effects for something other than text objects?
For example, if there was a way to do it, I could easily make gifs of before-rollover/after-rollover versions of the buttons. In fact, I would prefer that way, if possible, so I could control the look of the buttons.
Is this just wishful thinking, or is there some workaround?
I appreciate anyone's suggestions.

Hi there,
It's not wishful thinking... It's real!
As a graphic designer you might have experience with photoshop.
If so you can easily create your own button images and then have a look at the following page:
http://web.mac.com/catucker/InsideOutside/Rollover.html
It does work and it's quite easy (just tested it myself a few minutes ago).

Rollover effects in custom JTableHeader

My application requires JTable to have headers that span multiple columns. As this feature does not have native support in JTableHeader, the only way I am aware to achieve this functionality is to create a subclass of JTableHeader, and a subclass of BasicTableHeaderUI, with a custom paint method that invokes header's (or column's) TableCellRenderer in the required size and shape. There are examples for how this can be done in various places.
When this technique is applied, and the customized JTableHeader is inserted into a JTable, the multi-column effect becomes functional, but the appearance of the headers is changed from the PLAF default to a plain replacement. This can be circumvented by pulling the cell renderer from the table's original header, and inserting it into the new header. At this point, the original PLAF appearance is preserved, but the rollover effects are absent.
Can anyone suggest a modification that would restore the rollover effects, or more generally, a technique to make a JTableHeader span multiple columns while preserving all original elements of the PLAF?

Lieve -
Could you help me out? I believe I'm trying to do something similar. I'm attemtping to create accordion navigation whereby:
There are 5 bars running from top to bottom on the left side of the screen (numbered from 1-5).
On the right side is the canvas.
Pressing Bar #2 (a button) will cause the whole button (2) to slide to the extreme right and buttons 1,3,4, and 5 will be next to each other on the left.
On the right side (the canvas) - will be content for page 2
Pressing the #5 button will cause button 2 to move to the left with buttons 1,2, 3, and 4 - and #5 button will be on the extreme right. The canvas will show content for page 5.
Hope this makes sense. Is this doable all within Cp 7?
Many thanks!

How to use one button rollover symbol to create 100 graphically different buttons

I do know how to create a button rollover symbol.
I don't know how to make that button rollover symbol reuseable. I'd like to put 100 different images in 100 copies of the button. I'd rather not make new symbols for every button, since the rollover animation may change.
Symbol "Accessibility" allows the title to be changed for copies of the symbol. Does similar functionality exist for bitmaps used in the symbol?
Could the copied button bring in new graphics from the timeline in another symbol or a xml sheet?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been following tutorials, except none of them cover this situation.
Thanks for your help!

Created in EA version 3:
I have 2 samples for you that are very similar.
1- uses the symbol with no image and loads the image as a background-image for the div.
https://app.box.com/s/co7uki3fm3b11a3o1xjw
2- uses an image in the symbol and replaces this image with a new one in the img (not div)
https://app.box.com/s/3ms92f5cv0mylspsi5uo
Choose what you prefer.
3. An example with more elements in the symbol directly on the stage instead of a container. use a container if you want to place the symbols in a specific rectangle div for example.

FW8 Can't Seem To Create Disjoint Rollover Effect

Hello,
I used previous versions of FW to create "disjoint rollover"
effects without any problem. This time I'm using FW8 to create the
same effect but so far it has proved unsuccessful, I have even
tried the step by step instruction of "help" menu with no success.
Can somebody pease help me with how to achieve this effect
with FW8 if it is possible.
Many thanks in advance!

More than half of the trouble posts on the DW forum are the
result of using
a graphics editor to write HTML. It's a grand idea that
utterly fails.
Such HTML is rigid, and fragile. You cannot avoid HTML if you
are going to
be working on the web, no matter what the marketing hype
says.
Harsh? Perhaps. True and well intentioned? Yes.

Rollover effect

Hi everyone, I wanted to create a menu that has a rollover effect to a different image as in http://www.eastsidecranehire.com.au/index.html
on the right hand side in our fleet, there are some red menu links that when you scroll over them, the image above changes. I think this is using flash?
I know I cant use the swap image behaviour in dreamweaver cs4 as the 2 images have to be the same size.
Hopefully it is using some sort of java script. Thanks!

This was done in Flash probably for the effect that you see in the image that changes (a white silhouette slides in behind the crane picture). If you can live without that you can accomplish the same thing with a jQuery slider. Check this one out, it's pretty easy to modify if you've worked with CSS and JavaScript before:

Trying to make Tile Transition Effect a rollover effect

Hello all-
I'm a newbie to AS3 and I'm hoping someone can help me. I am trying to make the Tile Transition Effect, from flash-filter.net, into a rollover effect. I originally began working off of the 3D Cube Rollover Transition script and I was able to get the rollover part to work but as soon as the first transition is done I get this error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at net.flashfilter.as3.effects.tileflip::TileFlip3D/processFrame()
at net.flashfilter.as3::PaperBase/onRenderFrame()
I realize that the error itself means that I am trying to call something that is not instantiated yet, but I am unsure where my code is wrong, and I am also unclear on what the 2nd and 3rd lines mean. Here is the code:
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, _onOver);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, _onOut);
var running = false;
var goIn = false;
var goOut = false;
function _onOver(e:MouseEvent){
if(!running){
_createAnimation("in");
running = true;
}else{
goIn = false;
goOut = true;
function _onOut(e:MouseEvent){
if(!running){
_createAnimation("out");
running = true;
}else{
goIn = true;
goOut = false;
function _inAnimationDone(e:Event){
e.target.removeFilter();
img1.visible = false;
if(goIn){
_createAnimation("out");
}else{
running = false;
goOut = false;
function _outAnimationDone(e:Event){
e.target.removeFilter();
img2.visible = false;
if(goOut){
_createAnimation("in");
}else{
running = false;
goIn = false;
function _createAnimation(dir:String){
var myFilter:TileTransitionEffectAS3 = new TileTransitionEffectAS3();
myFilter.mouseEnabled = false;
myFilter.mouseChildren = false;
addChild(myFilter);
if(dir == "in"){
myFilter.init(img1, img2, 10, 20, 40, 40, "Mode7", "l->r");
myFilter.addEventListener(TileTransitionEffectAS3.ANIMATION_DONE, _inAnimationDone);
}else if(dir == "out"){
myFilter.init(img2, img1, 10, 20, 40, 40, "Mode7", "r->l");
myFilter.addEventListener(TileTransitionEffectAS3.ANIMATION_DONE, _outAnimationDone);
Thanks in advance to anyone that might be able to shed some light on the situation!

I'm assuming that you want to do something like the push into all of the stills. There's no real trick, there is just a bunch of work. You have to distribute your layers in 3D space and animate the camera. I'd suggest you start with simple moves with just 3 or 4 layers. Get that right, then start adding layers until you've achieved the complexity you desire.
If I had the artwork and were to try and match the camera move that happens around 7 seconds I'd budget about a half hour. The move from 15 seconds to about 18 seconds is mostly a single setup repeated 3 times. Something that complex would take me about an hour and a half but it could easily take all day, depending on the images needed and whether or not I had to do a bunch of resizing to complete the project.
The other option would be to use the Card Dance plug-in. Card Dance is a complex plug-in that requires some training to use. To learn more type card dance into the search field in AE and look at the training materials. The move on the red layer with all the squares at about 1:47 could be created quite quickly with Card Dance.

Rollover effects are lost when exported as Fireworks HTML

I created a simple graphic in Fireworks, which has a rollover
effect. The finished symbol was assigned a LINK, ALT and TARGET in
Fireworks, and exported as an .htm file. Every slice was selected
and saved in the IMAGES folder.
After I placed the htm file in Dreamweaver, I previewed it in
Safari and FireFox. It worked perfectly. After I uploaded it to the
Web Host, however, all effects were lost.
Here is the link:
http://www.jlwa.net
The effects are limited to the word "enter."
If anyone sees what I'm doing wrong, please let me know.
THANKS!

Lorraine, thanks for your advice. I will do as you

though, my experience has not been good doing the build in
Dreamweaver. Perhaps it is because I'm on a Mac...I don't
know...everytime I try that the finish result pulls apart at the
seams when viewed on a PC.
On this page, for example:
http://www.jlwa.net/projects.html,
the Accordion (when viewed on a PC) has horizontal gaps between
each of the Accordion's tabs, and all of the text, despite being
set at "left" justification, appears as if I centered it. I'm still
wrestling with this page to get it right.
Thanks again - Paul
Hmm. It looks okay in Chrome, but I see it pulls apart in IE
7. That is probably due to inconsistencies in CSS rendering between
the different browsers. Using Fireworks won't help you with that.
You're going to have to modify the CSS to account for browser
differences if you want it to address those little spaces. The CSS
for the Spry accordion element is very simple and I don't see any
hacks to get around the box model differences that I know people
use. You might ask on the Dreamweaver forum, but it certainly isn't
anything that Fireworks is going to fix for you.
Also, there are some other maintenance issues I see in your
page. Your navigation images are directly using the Fireworks
naming scheme, such as jlwa_main_r2_c2_f2.jpg. When you export your
images from Fireworks, give them good, reasonable names so that you
can maintain the code. You have a row of unnecessary spacer gifs in
your header. You should pull your CSS out into a separate file,
rather than having it embedded into each and every file. That way,
you only need to edit it in one place to have it take effect
everywhere. Give your styles meaningful names, too, descriptive of
their purpose. You have style1, style4, style5. If you want to edit
them, you don't even know what they are without digging into the
HTML code.

CSS rollover effects

Hello,
So I've been playing with muse since the beginning basically. A feature that would be greatly appreciated by me and probably the whole community would be CSS rollover effects. I know that there's states and all that, but I feel like that just uhhh kind of dull in a way. They work but there's only so much you can do. I know you can kind of make something in edge animate but that can get complicated for those who are not familiar and frankly uncomfortably with code (like myself). So I'm wondering in the next update if the Muse team can Add some sort of preset of CSS rollover effects to Muse.
For example you would be able to make a menu or a gallery, Then you could click the thing you wanted to add the effect to, then could select what style of effect you wanted. If that makes sense..I'm not the greatest at explaing things via type.
http://thecodeplayer.com/walkthrough/simple-hover-effects-with-css3-filters <----- That is just an example of photo/gallerly effects that would be sweet if Muse could implimnet. As of now i cant find a good site for text rollover effects.
Cheers
