Create a "mouse over" interactive button in html5 canvas

Hi there,
I’m currently using the HTML5 canvas in flash Professional CC.
I want to create an animated button that grows when you hover over it and then shrinks when you hover off it.
I can do this in AS3 but I can’t seem to do it in the HTML5 canvas.
I’ve placed the animated button in a movieclip and stopped it at the start of the movieclip timeline then added this code to try and activate it when I hover over it but it didn’t work:
this.movieClip_2.addEventListener(“mouseover, fl_mouseoverToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_3.bind(this));
function fl_mouseoverToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_3()
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
I've also tried to create a standard "button symbol" then added the animation within each action (Up, Over, Down). This didn't work either.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Matt

this.movieClip_2.addEventListener(“mouseover, fl_mouseoverToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_3.bind(this));
function fl_mouseoverToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_3()
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
should be:
this.movieClip_2.addEventListener(“mouseover", fl_mouseoverToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_3.bind(this));
function fl_mouseoverToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_3()
this.gotoAndPlay(2);

Problem w Plug-in Check page: the "Update" button for my outdated version of the WMP plugin does not do anything, and no link is indicated in the status bar when I mouse over the button.

In Firefox, I select Tools > Add-ons > Find Updates. The Plugin Check page comes up in the browser. The entry for the WMP Plugin indicates it is out of date. I click on the "Update" button and nothing happens. When I mouse over the button, no link is indicated in the status bar (it continues to read "Done").
The entries for the other plugins indicate they are current. When I mouse over the "Up to date" button for each of those entries, a link is indicated in the status bar.

Specific region mouse over effect(Button 1 fades out and Button 2 fades in).

Dear All -
I am new to Flash CS5 and building Flash navigation bar with buttons on it.
Below is my problem description that I want to solve with your help.
I have a rectangular bar and placed one small button(Button 1) on this bar. Also, I have similar button(Button 2) with some graphics on it which is of similar size as to previous Button 1.
Button 1 - Without graphic.
Button 2 - With graphic on it.
What I want is that, whenever mouse is taken over Button 1 placed on the rectangular bar, it should fade out and simultaneously Button 2 should fade in. I want only button region to be sensitive to this mouse over effect and not the complete rectangular bar.
Kindly let me know how can I define the specific region(button region only) to be sensitive to mouse over effect in flash, and how to place Button 1 and Button 2 in layers so that both are at the same positition(so that there is no displacement of button detected).
Thank You,
Saurabh Khanna.

Hello -
Thank you for the reply. Button 1 does not have glowing effect, whereas Button 2 has a glowing effect. So what I wanted is that when initially Button 1 is loaded during page load, when I mouse over Button 1, Button 1 would fade out and Button 2 sitting behind Button 1 would automatically look like fade in(due to gradual fad out of Button 1 on top of Button 2).
I could do this now, and would like to Thank you for your reply.
I did this by creating movie clip on "Over" event of Button 1 and changing its Alpha property. But now what I want is how to gradually fade out, means when I remove my mouse from over button, then Button 2 should fade out gradually which will automatically make Button 1 fade in gradually.
I could not find the "Out" event just like we have "Over" event for Button, so I assume this can only be done using ActionScript somehow.
Let me know if I am going correct with my assumption, and possibly if you could help me achieve the remaining half(fading out gradually when mouse is removed from the button).
Thank You once again for your reply.
Thank You,
Saurabh Khanna.

How can I add popup help messages when I mouse over a button

Hi there,
I haev Acrobat x 10 pro.
I'm new to acrobat and would like to set up a friendly form for people to fill in online. I'd like them to have some interactive help so that for example when they mouse over or click a button, some help text appears. I've played around with adding a text field that is hidden and then adding action items to a button to show it. This works, but my text field is shaded like a normal text field and I'd like it to look different.
Is there a better way to to this popup effect or is there a way t omake the popup look like a popup and not a text field?
All help gratefully received,
Thanks in advance.

I'mnot sure what you mean by shading exactly, but you can set up a text field so that it doesn't have an inset border. An alternative is to use a button to display the text. Buttons are more flexible since you can set a button icon to be anything that can appear on a PDF page (text, images, vector graphics). For a sample, see: https://acrobat.com/#d=aP-2xL45pM57xVkT6d6fSg
Also, if you use a text field, set it's default value to the text you want to display so that the field won't get blanked if the form is reset. You don't have to worry about this when using buttons.

Hovering mouse over a button and painting

The following code is what I have to try to paint a rectangle when ever I hover over a button. This rectangle will show a brief description of what the button will do. I'm doing something similar when pressing the help button and hovering over something a description in a rectangle shows up. But I cannot get the paint method to work. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to fix this.
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
                    //System.out.println("asdf");
                    showMessage("Test");
               private void showMessage(String string)
                    public void paint(Graphics g)
                         g.fillRect(25, 20, 20, 20);
                         g.drawString("Hello", 25, 20);
                    //System.out.println(string);
               }

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to fix this. You really need to read the Sun Java Graphics tutorial as your assumptions on how painting works is not correct. For instance, you shouldn't be calling the paint method directly.
Also, do you want to be doing this Graphics? Would it be easier to just add a tool tip to your button (i.e., use setToolTipText(...))?
Good luck.

Buttons in HTML5 Canvas

Hi, all! I'm brand new to developing for Canvas in Flash. I'm having some trouble setting up basic button actions with the following:
function AddAnswerButtonsListener()
var i = 1;
var name;
for(; i<=4; ++i)
name = "answerBtn" + i;
scene[name].on("click", onClickAnswer);
scene[name].number = i - 1;
The onClickAnswer function works correctly, and the AddAnswerButtonsListener is called properly; I'm not seeing any mouse indication that I'm over a button and there's no response when the button is clicked. Is there anything glaringly obvious that I'm not understanding here? Thanks for your time!

Hi,
Can you share your file to have a look at what's going wrong if it is not a problem with you??
Thanks,

Mouse over button actions for newbie

Im a Newbie. Im creating buttons that when you mouse over show an image. Id like the images to remain up when the cursor leaves the button until the cursor mouses over another button, see http://www.rawnarch.com/featured_williams_college.html
any advice on how to do this simply

The simplest fix is to change the DOCTYPE.
You're using a XHTML Transitional DOCTYPE.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
If you replace it with a HTML5 DOCTYPE
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
you'll eliminate most of those "errors".

Creating mouse-overs in iWeb

Hey there,
I'm rather new to iWeb, so if this answer is obvious to most of you out there forgive me. I've been experimenting with iWeb '08, enjoying it immensely, but I'm trying to figure out a way to create a mouse-over in iWeb.
This is the general idea of what I'm trying to accomplish (the picture is my friend's site which I'm renovating)
[IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y290/Shadek9/Picture4.png[/IMG]
Basically just mouse over service, and get links to multiple other pages or portions of pages in a site.
Thanks for your help

Not natively in iWeb. I haven't tried the following free JavaScript generator, but perhaps it will work for you:

And they have other generators:

Problem with Interactive Buttons

Hi all,
I seem to be having trouble with Interactive Buttons.
InDesign CS5 - Version 7.0.3
I create a document with 2 pages (Facing Pages is checked).
I add a text box to each page, Page one's text box says "1" and page two's says "2".
Page two's text box I right click and select Interactive | New Hyperlink Destination - Type: Page, Page: 2, Zoom Setting: Fixed
On Page one I add a sample button from the buttons panel.
I select the button and then display the buttons panel.
I remove the default "Go To URL" action and add an action of "Go To Destination" using the Event of "On Release"
When I preview the page from the "Preview" panel, I click "Play" and can see the first page and the button (great), but when I click the button, nothing happens.
The mouse changes as I mouse over the button, the state of the button changes to the rollover state... all seems well but it doesn't actually perform the action of going to the next page.
I have tried exporting to PDF and making sure that "Include Bookmarks" and "References" is checked as well as making sure that "Create Tagged PDF" is checked but the exported pdf doesn't run the action either!
What am I doing wrong? It seemed so easy when I looked at some video tutorials on how to do it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the fast response.
I fixed the issue with the preview window (saw a previous post).
However the Export options I have are:
Adobe PDF Presets...
Define
High Quality Print
PDF/X-1a:2001
PDF/X- 3:2002
PDF/X- 4:2008
Press Quality
Smallest File Size
Export...
Export For....
Buzzword (greyed out)
Dreamweaver
EPUB...
If I choose Export... I cannot see an option for exporting to PDF (Interactive) no matter which options or types of PDF I select.
However, my PDF opens in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - is that the issue? Even if I open it in Adobe Reader 9.3 it doesn't work.

CS3: mouse over, highlight only image

Hi,
I try to make the effect like in the attached file. I don't exactly know how to discribe it in english so I just made it in After Effects real quick :-)
At a mouse over only the image should be highlighted.
Hope you understand what I want to do.
Can someone please explain me how I can create this effect.
Greetings from Germany
Christoph

Just define the button so that the image is part of it. To do this, simply put all the layers you want into the button layer set. Then make the highlight layer so it covers only the image. When you mouse over the button, it will highlight the image.

Mouse over images

How can I create a mouse over image that appears below a navigation/menu button?

Hello,
You can have an image filled in the rollover state of the menu item, and that would appear when hovered over the menu item from the front end of the site. Check this related post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5680522#5680522

Mouse over question

i've made some buttons that on mouseover shows a larger picture above the button. when the cursor leaves that button though the picture disappears until the user mouses over the button again. is there a way to ensure that the picture stays up until the user mouses over another button (then they would see another image)?

Gotcha. Well, here's a "for instance."
Suppose you turn an image into a Movie Clip Symbol. The first frame of your new clip is where your initial button image is. On frame two insert a keyframe and name it "Start" or something like that.
Then, insert a new layer above your original button image. Using the square tool, draw a square over your image. Convert that square to a button symbol. Highlight it, then choose "Edit in Place." Highlight the square image again, right click and choose "cut." Insert a new keyframe on the "HIT" frame, then paste in place that square. You can exit edit in place.
Click on the button you just made, go to Actions and write something like this.
on(rollOver){
gotoAndPlay("Start")};
This will move the playhead to the start frame. If you plan on animating your button, make sure you place a keyframe and the end of your animation. Open your actionscript layer, if you have one (otherwise, make one and insert a stop action in the last frame). stop();
This will make the movie play when someone rolls over the hit button you made, which is placed over your original image. It will stop the playhead wherever your button animation stops. If you do the same thing for another button, when the user clicks the other button it will move the playhead to that movie section.
I'm not the best at explaining these things, but hopefully that offers some clarity. I can try to get a little more detailed if need be.
Good luck.

Mouse over for pop-up

Is it possible in Acrobat 8 to create a mouse over option that would reveal a pop-up? For instance, I have a map and I would like a persons name to pop-up when someone mouses over a state.
Thanks

Hi David,
i saw your question about creating a popup.
I would like to creat a popup in a PDF with Adobe Acrobat Profession Version 7 or 8.
Do you know how to create a popup which is normally invisible, only when the cursor is above a certain term then the popup is getting visible?
Do you know if it is possible to insert pictures or Power-Point-Screens in a popup on a PDF?
It would be great if you could help me!!
