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.

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...

Can anyone help me out with this? I have Flash 8 Pro
installed on my Windows XP Pro SP2 machine. Everything worked great
when I installed it. Now, about a month after it was installed, it
crashes anytime I move the mouse over the blank stage. I basically
start Flash 8 pro, it loads OK, the interface comes up fine menus
are accessible, etc. but the second I move my mouse into the center
STAGE area, it crashes. Any help?never heard this issue before - did you try reinstalling?

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 AdvanceThanks 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); -
Insert flash in layer via mouse over
Hi
Using the mouse over option with behaviours I can change the
text of a layer
no problem. However if I paste flash code into the new HTML
code box the
flash doesn't work.
Should it? or can I only use text? I considered using
separate layers and
the make layer visible sequence but wasn't sure if it would
make the code a
bit messy
thanks
IanThat should work, provided that you have the link to the
javascript file
that contains the function definition -
AC_FL_RunContent
in the head of the page.

Computer freezes when I'm moving the mouse over flash videos
Hello,
Sometimes when I move the mouse over a flash video to pause it or to even start it, my computer completely freezes. I'm using a laptop and the LED that lights up whenever the HD is being used completely stops lighting, indicating that the hard drive is no longer being used.
All buttons stop working, including combinations like CTRL + ALT + Delete. The Caps Lock LED does not light up when pressing Caps Lock, and my mouse completely stops moving. All I'm left up is with a frozen image, and the only way to stop the computer is by pressing and holding the stop button on the laptop.
When I restart the computer, the websites and tabs restore on the next Firefox start-up.
I thought this only happened to YouTube videos, but now I've experienced it with another type of video.
This only happens in Firefox and with flash videos. Does anybody know how I can fix this?
Thanks!Hello, thank you for the response.
I could try that, but the thing is, this only happens rarely. I don't know if there is any way to deliberately cause this, but freezing the computer is not the most pleasant thing, because it requires closing it by using the physical button on the computer, rather than the Windows Shutdown command. -
I have created an interactive PDF using Illustrator that has mouse-overs. When i export the file and then open it in Acrobat there is odd pausing on teh image bewteen mousing over it and the text callout that shold then display. Did I export or save incorrectly?
Thank you for both responses! I'm impressed with the fact that you're reading my post.
I'm new to tech matters with Adobe/PDF/Nitro tho I've been using them for several years.
The original file was created by an agency and given to independent contractor to use. I don't know which program they used to create the form. And I don't know what XFA or LiveCycle Designer means because I'm not technically sophisticated unfortunately.
I used Nitro 6 to populate the data and have a number of forms already filled out, which I periodically open and modify and resubmit. But Nitro 6 is acting sick, despite reinstalling several times. I'm attempting to see if it's worth transitioning to Adobe Acrobat, i.e., can I reopen the forms I've populated and continue to work with them. I like some of the Adobe features for other purposes (e.g., OCR).
Any help in determining how to open the form while keeping the data? -
Mouse over event listener? in Flash CS4 (AS3)
Hi,
I was wondering if there is such a thing as a mouse over listener.
So that it would execute code when the mouse rolls over(and maybe also execute code when the mouse moves away again)
Thank you for any help.yes, there are mouseover and rollover events, as well as, their "out" events:
MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER
MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER -
Dreamweaver menu widget mouse over
Hi
I'm trying to get my head around the menu widget in CS3 and thing are progressing ok.
Things are progressing, but I have two small questions relating to this screenshot: http://www.violetmount.com/August/menu.png
1. How can I only make the menu appear when I move the mouse over to it?
2. Is there any way to have the top menu cell transparent?
The first one is probably the most urgent at the moment! All the examples I've seen have the menu sitting there all the time, whereas I could do with it working like the menu bar in applications.
Thanks
AlexisIs it the roof or the driver's side window?It's where the 2 meet - it's a t-bar roof
If is the window, try to determine if the seal
between the window glass and the door frame is
somehow messed up- bent, dirty, something that
prevents a tight seal. You'll need to fix that, if
that is the cause.There is no door frame!
Like I always say, you can never have enough
lubrication. Use some clear silicone spray on the
window seal. Same with the door-to-frame seal.Ah, interesting. Thanks
(this is actually the cure for said woes, so you've inadvertently set a dangerous precedent here!)
If it is the roof itself, you'll have to perform
similar investigations to determine the source of the
leak.
Hope that helps.It has, thanks! -

Using Dreamweaver CS3, I have created a slide show using
Flash CS3. I want to have a flash button overlap just part of the
flash side show.
What happens is the button part that overlaps the flash slide
show, is behind the slide show. And when I move the mouse over, it
appears above the slide show but flckers.
Once the slide show is over, the button works fine. It
appears above the slide show when I hover over.
Is there anyway for this to work?Why do you need a Flash button outside of the other Flash
file? I would think that you should just put that button into the
slideshow so that it shows on every frame and has the functionality
you wish for it to have. -
Hi,
I've got a map of the US divided into 5 territories. On mouse
over each territory, I want to display a larger picture of that
territory in a new window over that spot on the map. (I've got the
map and the five larger graphics as separate files.)
I thought I could draw the hot spots on the base map and
assign them behaviors -- I see Open New Window in Behaviors. The
only option it gives me is to open the new pic as a URL, replacing
the main window.
Is the answer the show/hide command? I see my list of
available graphics -- can I get the larger pics in there somehow?
Or give up in Dreamweaver and figure it out in Flash? Help
appreciated beyond words. ttt> Is the answer the show/hide command?
Yes.
You would have to put the larger images into hidden layers
and toggle their
visibility.

I'm a retoucher/photo-illustrator -NOT- a web designer. Am looking to create a new website using a commercial web gallery template. All typical features work for my needs. EXCEPT- As a retoucher, I need to show before/after states of individual images. The better retouching sites allow a mouse-over to toggle between before/after. But I have been told that this is requires Flash and is a custom action -not available as a web gallery template.
My goal is to create a fairly basic web gallery to showcase my work, where I can personally update (add/delete) images. Squarespace.com offers customizable templates, but can't offer mouse-over toggles. Most web gallery templates just offer simple navigation via thumbnails. The toggle feature is critical to my type of work. It would not be practical for me to learn to build a website from scratch as I only plan to create my own single web gallery.
Suggestions from the pros appreciated.Have you tried using Dreamweaver's roll over image link funtion? You can have one image as the normal link and the second image as the "Over" image, then for the link target simply use # so the link doesn't go any where.

Can I have a mouse-over function to play sound?
Hello all,
I have a flash graphic here www.stainlessrhino.com top left
corner. What I would like is for the graphic to play (soundless as
it does now) when the page is loaded, however, if the user mouse
over the swf a sound would play once. How would I accomplish this?
Is it possible?
Thank you!There are several ways to do this. The easiest way is to
attach the sound to the graphic. Do this by editing the object you
want, create a layer called sounds. Click on the first frame you
want the sound to play in, press F6 to create a keyframe. Click in
that keyframe and look in the Properties window. In the box labeled
"Sound:" (go figure) you select the sound you want to play.
If you are using a roll-over listener you can use the
Sound.play() method to play the sound in the function. AS3.0
example:
myGraphic.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,
myOverFunction);
function myOverFunction(event:MouseEvent):void{
play.sound(mySound);
I recommend searching for "Playing Sounds" in the help
documentation (F1). -
I'm fairly new to Flash and couldn't find the exact same problem in the forums so here goes.
Flash CS4, Actionscript 3.0
I have a button that I have a mouseover event making another button appear (thus making it look like a color change). It flickers like crazy with the mouse over. Any suggestions?
Here's the page (mind you nothing on it but this so far) http://www.forepointusa.com/flash/qbooks/keyfeatures.html
Here's the code: (IT is the button you see when you first look at the file.)
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
ITBlue.alpha = 0;
ITBlue.y = 130;
IT.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,showIT);
IT.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,hideIT);
function showIT(e:MouseEvent):void {
ITBlue.y = 172.3;
ITBlue.alpha = 100;
function hideIT(e:MouseEvent):void {
ITBlue.alpha = 0;
ITBlue.y = 130;
Any suggestions are appreciated.Is there a reason you don't use the one IT button and just use its Over frame to display it as blue?
Note: in AS3, alpha ranges from 0 to 1 (not 100).
To explain why you have what you have... I am assuming ITBlue is another button. When you put ITBlue in front of IT you essentially block IT from the mouse, so you ignite IT's rollout function, sending ITBlue back out of the way, which ignites IT's rollover function again, and the cycle goes on unending. If you hover just on the lower edge of IT, where ITBlue doesn't reach, you'll see it works as desired.
The simplest way around this is to use the one button approach, as there will be no code needed for the rollover and rollout for what you have it doing now.
An alternative would be to place ITBlue in its y = 172 position permanently, change IT to a plain graphic symbol, and use your current code assigned to ITBlue instead of IT, but again, it would be unecessary.
Just some added info... An object that has its alpha set to 0 is still fully mouse interactive... an object that has its visible property set to false is not.
