Creating a Flash Mouse Over Effect

I want to create a flash mouse over effect that I can import into dreamweaver. Dreamweaver used to have a function to make this simple, but Adobe removed it. How do I create this in flash, and then define it in dreamweaver?

Why not just cut on a big white rectangle? Another way is to keyframe the Light Rays filter...

I would like to create the same mouse over effect that is used on the home page of Industrial Light

I would like to create the same mouse over effect that is used on the home page of Industrial Light & Magic website. http://ilm.com
Could someone please let me know what the code or effect that is used. Thanks.

It appears there are two slideshows running in parallel where a mask that follows the mouse displays one of them. THe one you see in the moving mask is on top of the other.
If you were to search Google for a custom cursor tutorial you will probably end up with most of what you need for getting the mask to follow the mouse.

Anyone know what mouse over effect this is?

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.

One more nugget: Chart zoom with the "Mouse Over" effect

Hello all.
Just read my signature first, it might explain a lot. I do not intend to compete with Darren and I don't think this "nugget" (at least it supposed to be one) will amaze any of the LV veterans and this forum is rich of them. But maybe it will bring some new ideas to some of you or maybe it will be useful for some LV beginners (like me). It is very likely, my code will have some lapses, but please be gentle pointing that out to me. If you feel a need, you can always optimize the code and develope it further. Just don't forget to share!
So back to the point.
I am developing a project using LV. In my program there is a waveform chart which has to show 4 plots. Depending on the length of the X Scale, it sometimes gets hard to see the plots clearly because of their density.So I decided that I need a tool, which would zoom the chart in. And this is what I have came up with after a few "Google" searches to check which part of the bike is already invented and also a bit of programming by myself.
Maybe you guys (at least the veterans) know the BetterVIEW Consulting LV example where they have implemented the Mouse Over effect. So a part of their example has been used in this tool and part of the credit must go to them. I thank them a lot
This tool uses a cluster and its property of visibility to show/hide the cluster depending on if the current position of the mouse cursor is in the desired range or not. The program also gets the image of the chart and returns the subset of the image. The subset is taken for the area arounf the mouse cursor. So if you move the mouse, the zoomed in area will also chage in response. After that, the subset of the image is zoomed in for better view.
The user might chage the zoom factor during the execution. Also it is possible to turn the zoom option On or Off if you don't wish to see it for the moment.
This is how the front panel looks like:
And this is the image of the block diagram (see the attached files for the vi, the VI Snippet tool distorts the code too much, so I haven't added it):
I haven't found anything the same in the forum. Yet I'm a newbie here and I don't have that much experience surfing it. If it wouldn't be something new (in the forum, not necessarily to some of you personally), just ignore the thread. I hope this was worth your time and your attention.
Good coding

While evaluating my code please have in mind that I am a LV novice. Therefore sometimes my code might violate some coding rules that I have to learn about myself. But how else could I do that...

Very nice Giedrius.
It takes guts to "step up to the chalk board" so I will do what i can to give you some ideas to think about. This is similar to the type of feedback I offer durring our in-house code reviews.
1) The floating property nodes outside the loop are not sequenced by wires so they could execute after the loop starts. Sometimes this could cause weird errors. Seq with the error cluster.
2) Property nodes can be re-sized so you can apply more than one property setting in the same call. Property node have to execute in the UI thread (which is single threaded) so using a single nodes will force a single context switch rather than one for each.
3) Setting the same property repeatedly in a loop just burns CPU. THe Scale min for both X an Y can be moved outside the loop ?
4) THe Wait Until Next ms" function does not get used in any of my code. It is not a way to get a fixed wait but rather a random wait. If you code completes 1 ms after the next multiple, the delay is double less 1 ms. If you have multiple loops using them and it f the delay for each are not unique prime numbers, then the "Wait until next ms multiple" is a good (cough cough) way of getting them all to wake up at the same time and fight for the CPU.
5)An Event Struture to monitor mouse enter/leave and mouse move (this would have to be a sepearte loop) is easier on the CPU than polling.
6) Is that math in the case to handle the Chart position on the FP? If so then using the property nodes for the chart to find its postion will let you code adapt to GUI changes.
7) Right to left wires are not well recieved.
8) A Bundle by Name is prefered over a "Bundle" since it is self documenting. I know the Picture function so I can see that is the rectangle you are specifying but reader not famliar with that function would not be able to "READ" the code without poking at it.
9) THe event structure would also help with setting the Zoom factor. Only poke it when you have to.
That is all that comes to mind at the moment.
Again thank you!

Mouse Over Effect

Here is what I want to do in Keynote '08:
I want to make an object appear when the mouse cursor goes over/near it. I think it's called a "mouse over" effect.
To help illustrate:
1. I want my Keynote slides as uncluttered as possible and,
2. I want to start a choice of other slides or effects. Mouse over allows me to hide these in plain sight, so to speak, until I mouse over one of the triggers.
How do I do this? Thanks, JLG [email [email protected] if I'm not clear above.]

Welcome to the forums!
Mouseover effects are not available in Keynote. You can have transparent (and therefore invisible) buttons with hyperlinks, but Keynote will only take action on a click, not a cursor hover.

Flash Mouse Over in Dreamweaver

How do I take a flash animation, and turn it into a mouse over animation in dreamweaver CS4? I know CS3 had an easily accessable function that allowed you to do this. However, I was unable to find this function in CS4. Please help.

Flash buttons and Flash text have both been removed from CS4 because it's such a bad practice to use either. Not only are there usability issues, but there are also SEO issues and accessability issues.
HTML and javascript cannot create a link within a Flash element. That linking must be done within the Flash Actionscript prior to publishing the SWF file.

Need help on showing text on mouse over effect?

Im a real noob with flash. What I have is a animation of footprints and each footprint is clickeble and link to a url. That part works fine. What I want to do now is make it so that when you hover the mouse over each footprint it must display some text over the footprint. I realy need some one that can explain this to me in step by step detail on how to acomplish this.
Help me please!

Hi there, thank you for replying.
What I have is footprints as movie clips on my stage. Each footprint has got this code in its "actions". The url for each foot print is just a diferent url, and it works.
on (release) {
getURL("http://riversidecollege.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9&Itemid=3");
Hope its enough info for you to be able to help me.
Thanx!

Trying to create Mouse over effect with more than one show image appearing in same cell

Firstly this is the link to my test page: http://www.design39.co.uk/indexhope.html
If you roll your cursor over the top left logo (the D&S) one it displays an image to the left. If you roll your cursor onto the next logo (Netnotts) it fades away again. Great. Exactly what I wanted and created in CSS (well done me as I don't normally do much with CSS but the new CS4 has very forced it).
What I am trying to create is: When you roll onto the Netnotts logo, not only does the original image to the left disappear but a new relative one appears, this is to be for all the logos. In CSS I can only create it as far as I can. I have thought about using AP DIV tags to do it which would obviously work but to keep it in the right place, I would then have to align my whole website to the left instead of centered like it is and to be fair, that's not particularly pleasing to the eye as this is my own portfolio of work.
I can do flash to make 'pretty things' but have no idea about actionscript and java is way over my head but I am sure with some help I would be able to get it together as the that particular effect, although done in CSS, is running javascript I noticed.
Many thanks in advance.

A relative positioned layer? does this mean it knows how far to be away from the table as a pose to an absolute positioned layer which is lay 15px from the left? I need to be able to keep the positioning as its key, cant have the layer popping up in different places pending on the users browser size.
I posted the question on a few forums and I got the following back: http://www.design39.co.uk/bla.html
which is exactly what i wanted it to do but have no idea how to insert java script into my page; Further more, that was done in layers not table cells.
Any ideas?

Mouse Over effects

Hi, I have a project containing several buttons, which serves as mouseover effects and url links. Underneath the buttons is a picture. I would like this picture to be replaced while the cursor is outside the flash. The only way I know how to do that (mouseover effect) is with a button.
So I tried putting the button in a layer above the other buttons, which makes me unable to get to the buttons (in the lower layer),
and then I tried putting the big button in a layer below the other buttons which cancelled the effect of the big button when I enter the areas of the smaller buttons.
Im using AS3 and I'm pretty new at it, please help me if you can:)

Is this AS2 or AS3?

Does Flash Engine supports "Mouse Over" events on an Android device with a mouse?

We built our custome Android on a Beagle Board. When we play a Flash content on WebKit, the flash does not respond to mouse over events.
When mouse pointer comes on an object with mouse over effect, nothing happends.
Can you confirm that there is Mouse Over support in Android 2.2 Flash Engine?
Thanks in Advance

Thanks for the link. Im just stuck on one issue right now. I
quickly noticed that the samples make use of mx.transitions.easing
as seen in the script below. How does Flash 8 address this?
myButton_btn.onRelease = function() {
tweenBall(mx.transitions.easing.Bounce.easeOut);
function tweenBall(easeType) {
var begin = 20;
var end = 380;
var time = 20;
var mc = ball_mc;
ballTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(mc, "_x", easeType,
begin, end, time);

#dropmenudiv a:hover{
/*hover background color*/
background-color: #faebeb
and in the image componen in event onClick paste this
dropdownmenu(this, event, menu1, '150px')
onMouseOut event paste this:
delayhidemenu()
this should works, and as u can see, u can get more examples like this in the DHTML page. I hope it helps
Plz tell me if this is what ur looking for, oor if u need help, post again
