Creating rollover buttons in flash cc

In my older version of flash the up, over, down and hit options appear along the timeline bar when I select frame. This button timeline doesn't appear in Flash CC. Can anyone tell me where the same function can be completed?

You should still see the same four-frame arrangement with CC - that has not changed. Make sure you have the timeline window opened. Also make sure you have created a button symbol and not a movieclip or graphic symbol.

I am trying to create a button in flash that will display 4 separate images at the same time when clicked. I can't get the images to stay on when I take the mouse of the button. I need the actions script code to make this happen.

I am trying to create a button in flash that will allow the user to click on the button and 4 separate images show up at the same time. I can get the images to appear when I click the button but they will not stay on the screen. I need to know what code I use to make the images stay once the button is clicked, then I need to know exactly where I place that code. It does not appear to be possible to add the action code to the buttons layer since each time I add a new layer I just get another "up" "over" "down" and "hit" line.
Thank you in advance

It is not clear how you are trying to realize this from your description. If you are trying to create this within a button symbol it will not work. Explain your approach and if there is code involved, show what you have so far.

Rollover buttons in Flash mx and Freeway4!!!!

Hi, I've recently started out with flash and currently
building a web site.
I have created a flash file where a ball bounces etc... All I
want to happen when you rollover the button in 'Freeway Pro4', the
ball then bounces! At present I'm building the site in Freeway4 and
all that happens is that the swf file just automatically plays when
the site is preview'd in the browser....
Is there some action script needed, or am I thinking to
much??? Need help PLEASE!
Any comments would be appreciated!
thanx

Creating rollover buttons that also show a gallery image

Hi all.
I'm a newbie to Dreamweaver, so please bear with me!
Here's what I'm trying to do: I'm creating a portfolio gallery. I want to have a thumbnail button that will rollover and show its "down" image and also the corresponding portfolio image in the gallery window. I know this can be done, as I've seen it numerous times. So far, I've only found tutorials on how to create the button and not both button and gallery image.
Any suggestions? And please - no code! I can't seem to successfully implement code, as I'm html-retarded! So if you can offer a tutorial link or even how to create this using the Designer interface in Dreamweaver, I'd TOTALLY appreciate it.
Thanks,
B.

This isn't something you can do with HTML alone. You need a slideshow or gallery widget.
I recommend jQuery Fancybox
http://fancybox.net/
However a Google search will reveal tons of other ones.
As for a mouseover effect on thumbnails, you can do that easily with CSS.
Below is an example of Fancybox with CSS opacity applied to thumbnails.

Creating Rollover Buttons in CS3

Hi, I'm trying to create some nice graphics for a company website in CS3. I want to make buttons for links that have special effects when you roll over them with the mouse, click on them, etc. (I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 to put the site together). I have looked for tutorials on how to put the special link buttons together, but they all use ImageReady, which I don't have in Photoshop CS3. Any suggestions for where to go to find a good tutorial, or better still, anybody know how to make these buttons work? I can create the graphics just fine, it's getting them to be rollover links that I don't get. Thanks!

Ok, I'm sure you would find more help in a dreamweaver forum, but here is my answer...
First, one at a time, click each image that is going to be a button and then name it in the properties field (probably at the bottom of your screen). This will be very important in a minute. I would name it whatever the button says on it.
Second, click the first button, go to your tag inspector tab, then click behaviors. Right under behaviors there should be a little + with an arrow pointing down, click that and go to swap image.
You should get a box with a list of all the images on your site (most will say unnamed except for the ones we named earlier). Click the appropriate button name (the one that matches the first one you clicked), and then click browse to select your new rollover image. and hit OK.
Click the next button you want to make a rollover and repeat the process.
If you are tryin to do this to a background image, you will want to use css. It is a little more complicated, but basically in your css for that button, create a:hover and set a new background.
Hope that helps, let me know if you have any more questions!

Rollover Buttons

Hi, I'm trying to create a simple rollover button in flash 9
and its not working the way its supposed to. The button is a
hyperlink that when clicked takes the user to a web page. Getting
the link itself to work is easy. However getting the text to change
color when the user rolls the mouse over the button is another
story. I created my button with two layers: a text layer on top of
a white background layer. The first frame shows the hyperlink in
blue, the second frame is a keyframe with the text in red.
However, what actually happens when I test the movie is that
the text only changes color to red when the mouse is positioned on
the part of the white background that is NOT the text. So if a user
mouses over the text it doesn't change color. It only changes when
they mouse over the rest of the button area. I want it to change
color when they mouse over the text itself. Is there some special
way to make this happen?

No, it is not possible to make flash buttons or rollover images as you describe within iWeb directly. However you can edit the HTML files that iWeb generates to embed content like this from other sources. There is a general method of incorporating external HTML code that will allow you to do all of this. You can find out more about this in the following thread...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2446725&#2446725
Also, if you want to generate flash buttons automatically, here is a resource... http://www.flashbuttons.com/
And finally, regarding Flash content in general. It is possible to drag Flash content directly into iWeb as long as it is saved in Flash 5 format. Please note that in doing so, your flash content will be handled by QuickTime (that's why there is the Flash 5 requirement), which may or may not be acceptable to you.

Importing rollover button

Hi can someone help me import a rollover button from flash? I keep trying, but the second image does not show up when I try to insert the image button. I tried saving both files, but I still end up getting one.

Hi there
I'll have to leave it to someone else to guide you on bringing the button in from Flash.
My reason for posting is to ask the following question. I've seen a few posts recently where folks are bringing buttons in from Flash. This makes me wonder why. What about the buttons Captivate provides doesn't work for you that you feel you must use Flash to create the buttons?
It makes me wonder if folks aren't discovering that Captivate supports image buttons that have three different images used and they provide the image switch effect. Mouse over and a second image is swapped in. Click and you momentarily see a third image. I could see where someone might not look too deeply and think all Captivate supplies are the plain vanilla text buttons. They give up at that point and head to Flash.
Cheers... Rick

Visited state on rollover button?

Hi,
I am hoping to create a button in flash that has a visited
state. I know that it is possible to create a button whose image
changes on the rollover state, but I was hoping to create a button
that when the page loads the button is one image, when rolled over
the button is another image and once clicked on it is yet another
image. Heres an example of why I wish to do this/ what I hope to
achieve:
I want to put the button into a dreamweaver site. When
clicked on the button takes the user to a new page. On this new
page there is an option to return to the previous page. Upon
returning to the page I want the button which the user initially
clicked on to be a different image from what it previously was so
they know they have already visited that link.
Thanks in advance for any help/ light that could be shed on
this matter,
Beth H

Need to learn how to create a slideshow in Flash

Hello All,
I'm new to Flash and I need to learn how to do a slideshow with exactly the same features as can be found in this link:
http://www.esppromo.com/index.asp
Just like at the link above, it needs to play through the slides automatically once the page is loaded, each slide needs to link to a specific URL, and I need controls similar to the boxes at the bottom so the viewer can click on any specific slide they wish to view (I'd like to have numbers in the boxes though). The transitions don't have to slide across like this. If a fade is easier, that would be fine.
Since I've looked online, but can't find any tutorials for doing this in Flash Professional, I think I'll pick up a book on Flash. There are some online tutorials that are close but nothing that is exactly what I'm looking for.
I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend a particular book that covers creating this type of slide show with the links and controls exactly as I need it to be. I see these types of slide shows on a lot of sites now, so I'm hoping that maybe someone else on this forum has had to learn how to do this and can recommend a book they used?
I was looking at Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Classroom in a Book and it looked like it may be what I'm after, but I am rather cautious, as I don't want to end up with instructions that are close to what I am looking for, but not quite right.
Actually, I thought I'd be able to do this fairly easily with Flash Catalyst, so I updated to Adobe CS5 Design Premium. I found that Flash Catalyst can be used to create a slide show like this, but unfortunately it won't play automatically when the page loads and the viewer has to manually click through the slides, which is not what I need. I could be wrong, but from what I've read, I need Flash Builder to add code so the slide show will play automatically if I create it in Flash Catalyst. Since it's not an option for me to buy more software at this time, I've decided to learn how to do this in Flash Professional.
I really want to learn how to do this. I expect to go on and create more using Flash, but for now I just REALLY need to figure this slide show out.
If anyone can help out, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks,
William

Edit:
i'm sorry. it is a huge work to type this and will be confusing as hell. i'm already up to 1 full word page of explanation. Though i am able to do it, explaning it in full lengh is ... well.. very hard. Way harder than it is to make your flash itself.
I can however point you to some element you should read about how to make them:
- How to use timeline in flash cs4
- how to create a button in flash cs4
- How to make "CLASSIC TWEEN" in flash cs4
- How to use ActionScript 2 ( AS2) basic command like : GetUrl, Gotoandplay, Stop and how to put those script in the right location. ( AS2 allow you to put script directly on the button itself. however it is best to put it in the Action Layer that you will have to build in the timeline.
- How to import thing in library.
keep in mind that what you want to make is mostly a Logic probleme...
- Image 1 click = GetURL X,
- After Y time, Switch image 1 to image 2 with animation. Do the same for the button.
- If you click on button 1 while being on image 3, you have to set all the reverse animation in the timeline, and use a lot of Gotoandplay.
Hope this help you a little.
I'm sorry. i really wanted to help you do it, but it is just a monstruous job to write all this.

How can I create this rollover effect in Flash CS5?

I'm pretty new to Flash, and I want to create a button like these.
I understand how to make a basic rollover button, but I haven't got a clue how to do animation like that.
http://www.werkstette.dk

the easiest way would be to create one movieclip that has
1. a rectangular mask (to mask everything),
2. a dynamic textfield with whatever colored and embedded font.
3. whatever colored background
4. another textfield that has a y property greater than the mask so it's not visible until the mask is rolled over. embed the font
5. another background for the rolled over movieclip
everything will need instance names so you can control with actionscript. you can then assign rollover and rollout code to your movieclip mask.
on rollover, you'll tween the first textfield (and possibly background) to a y less than your mask. tween the textfield with easing. and you'll tween the 2nd textfield and 2nd background to about the same y as your mask. again, tween the textfield with easing but not the background.

Thanks.

While the Note 4 is a reasonably large device it still falls into the phone layout bucket. We need this layout to function on very small screens some as low as 320 pixels high and 240 pixels wide. These sorts of devices don't have the space for a full toolbar.

Creating a minimize and restore button in flash.. help :D

hi,
is there a way in flash to be a able to create a minimize and a restore button in flash,, and
is it also possible to remove my title bar?
tnx in advance..

Oh thank you so much!! I have spent days looking for this and could not figure out why the code did not work. My professor has been out sick so he has not responded to emails since the end of last week. Now one last thing is that when I click test movie my polygon object is in stop mode meaning it is not moving. I have to click play for it to move. Is there anything I can add to my code so that when I hit test movie and the test window pops up the polygon is automatically playing without me having to hit the play button first?

Rollover buttons that play a movie clip.

Hello,
   I am new to Flash and I am trying to accomplish a simulation such as this example, http://www.its-about-time.com/investinesart/coalplantvirtualtour.swf. I have all of my movie clips done, but how do I tell a rollover button to play a specific movie clip? I also want to have all the movie clips to play simultaneously via a rollover button as shown in the example. I've attached a captured image of my timeline, if that helps. I've tried everything so far, but nothing is working! What is the simplest way of doing this?
I have this inside one of the movie clips (mc_2) in a seperate layer under - (actions)
RO_btn.onRollover = function(){
mc_2.play();
On the main timeline I have an actions layer with this:
stop();
Thinking that this may stop all of my movie clips but it doesn't.
Should I make an actions layer in each movie clip with this syntax huh? stop();?
I'm frustrated!!
Thanks, if you can help!

Hi,
I have made something that you are looking for.
It will be of help to you.
basically you will have to create a few movie clips namely:
2 buttons: (name them a_btn, b_btn, c_btn, d_btn, e_btn)
3 movie clips (I am taking example image1_mc, image2_mc, image3_mc)
in each of these movieclips.place 2 frames and on second frame put your movieclip(one in one).on both the frames put stop()
now click on a_btn and write this script
on (rollOver) {
_root.image1_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.image2_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.image3_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
on (rollOut) {
    _root.image1_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
    _root.image2_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
    _root.image3_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
with this all 3 animations will work simultaneously. if you need to run any one of the movieclips at a time the you can address that mc in particular
.Say if you want only 1 mc to move at a time then put this on btn 2
on (rollOver) {
_root.image1_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
on (rollOut) {
    _root.image1_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
.Dont forget to give proper instance names to movieclips.(they are in properties panel.)
Cheers!
