Flash buttons with out state

Question

Hi there,
I'm trying to build a navigation sysytem like this:
http://www.bisazza.it/eng/index.html
(the one running along the bottom of the page).
The best I can do is here, though its not working properly:
http://www.giraffeads.com/clients/nz/button_test_3.htm
The flash file is here:
http://www.giraffeads.com/clients/nz/working/navigation_280406.fla
I'm using the following action script:
on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay("mouseover");
on (rollOut) {
this.gotoAndPlay("mouseout");
on (release) {
getURL("
http://www.odysseyphotography.net");
..applied to an instance of the movie on the stage.
There are a couple of issues:
1) When you mouseover the button, the text moves downwards
but doesn't remain in that position (like:
http://www.bisazza.it/eng/index.html)
2) If you move the mouse away then back again the movie
restarts before finishing (resulting in jerky up and down movement)
3) You have to get the mouse exactly over the text for it to
work.. It'll be difficult to make it link to another page...
Any assistance or links to a tutorial would be much
appreciated!
Thanks

Answer 1

add this to you movi clip
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(this.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse))
this.nextFrame();
else this.prevFrame();
on (release) {
getURL("
http://www.hotmail.com");
AND remove the "mousout" all frames in the movie clip,
Add a invisible rectangle behind the text for area you want
to sence with mouse
you can do it by draw rectangle > color mixer > alpha
to 0%
Then it's work finly, still if u dont understnd send me ur
email and ill send the fla
sorry, my bad english :-)
Ayubowan!
