Help with rollover button

Can someone please tell me how to make these rollover buttons
to get URL?
The sample flash file can be viewed here
http://www.leadstar.com.au/header_page.html
and I have attached the code as well.
Many Thanks.

Roddy-
Thanks a bunch for trying to help me out. Here is where I got the code from.
http://11mystics.com/2008/05/21/create-rounded-corner-rollover-buttons/
They also have some suggestions in the comments on how to add links.
Let me know what you think I should do. Keep the buttons i have or ditch it all together and use your code. What was nice about this is the images are already there for me and I just have to alter a few things to get what I want.
Thanks

Issues with rollover buttons in Indesign CS6

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on a issue i'm currently having.
I've produced a interactive map in Indesign, with rollover buttons which triggers an animation - all the buttons and animations seem to be set up correctly and once I export as a SWF they seem to work fine initially, but after a couple of rollovers some of the buttons just stop working. If I refresh the page or reopen the swf file it then starts working again for a period, but again after a few successful rollovers some stop working again. I'm wondering if this is a bug of some sort? Ive also tested the .swf on a different machine and I experience the same issue.
Any help with this would be be much appreciated.

We might be able to help you but you'll have to drop the attitude. We're not Adobe here, but users like you.
You'll need to tell us exactly what you're doing and what's not working for you. By "rollovers," you could mean the change of appearance of a button. You could also be meaning what are sometimes called Show/Hide buttons where clicking a button causes another button to appear. Which is it?
And what kind of output are you attempting? Interactive PDF? SWF (Flash)? DPS?

you can't use the button itself if you want to maintain the
DOWN state after
release as button automatically resets itself once the mouse
lives the HIT zone.
Use movie clip instead and on press simply send it to a frame
where there
is DOWN state like image.

Help with linking buttons to Scenes

Hey,
Rookie to Flash and AS3. Just needed some help with my buttons. Im making a flash program about pancakes (random I know). I have a "Mainmenu" scene and then a "Recipe" scene. I have a button on my mainmenu which takes me to the recipe page when I click it, the code behind the button is
"stop();btn_recipe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop(1, "Recipe");
Then when I arrive at my recipe page I have a button which will take me back to my MainMenu, the code behind that button is:
"stop();btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouse5DownHandler);function mouse5DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1, "MainMenu");
So I run my program and the first button works and takes me to recipe page but the button to get to the main menu does nothing, click it and no response or anything
Please help

First, hopefully having all your code mushed onto the same line is a copy/paste error, otherwise it should look like...
stop();
btn_recipe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
     gotoAndStop(1, "Recipe");
If the intention is to click the buttons to make them work, then you should use CLICK instead of MOUSE_DOWN. MOUSE_DOWN can be a persistent state whereas CLICK involves releasing it afterwards.
As for the code to get you back home, where is it located on the timeline? Are you getting any error messages when you try to use it?
One thing you should learn to use is the trace() function. It is useful for troubleshooting. You can use it now to see if your second button is talking to the function at all...
stop();
btn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouse5DownHandler);
function mouse5DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
     trace("the button works okay");
     gotoAndPlay(1, "MainMenu");
If you don't get that message in the output panel, you'll know the button is not properly coded to work.
Most folks here will recommend you get away from using scenes in a design that includes navigation--they have a history of being problematic. Instead of using scenes, divide the one main timeline up into sections or use movieclips for the sections and manage their visibility... or do a bit of both.

A problem with rollover button

i have a problem with rollover button in the menus when i upload my site to the hosting server. When i preview in browser with Dreamweaver before upload , there are no problems.
Thank you!

You have not uploaded the images on the server which is why rollover is not working. When we put the url - http://modano.1gb.bg/button4a.gif in browser it takes the user to the home page of the hosting company. I think you need to check to make sure that the images are uploaded properly.

Need help with Rollover Image cross browser problem

Hello,
I am having a cross browser problem with my websites rollover nav links. The trouble is, while they work perfectly fine in IE8 and IE9, I’ve also attempted to use them through Opera, and they simply don’t work. They don’t link nor do they do their rollover effect. And I was trying to figure out what I have done wrong. Currently the site is not completed, but the first two pages are, the “news” and “about me” pages are currently (as of right now) working. The address to the site is below.
http://maxmetal.xsustudios.com/index.html
I hope that someone can help me with this, if needs be I can put the code for the CSS and HTML into this part if it will save some time for everyone. Sorry too about the PNG images, I have to change those over to semi-transparent GIF’s yet so the site does take a while to load…
Hope someone can help me with this!

When I disable CSS in my browser, the rollover buttons work just fine. This tells me your CSS is messed up and you've layered something over your menus which is making them inaccessible to users.
I noticed you've applied relative positioning to just about everything on your page. Why?   Default CSS positioning (unspecified or static) is all you need for 98% of layouts.

My advice would be to start over using a pre-built CSS Template with all the divisions and columns you're likely to need for this project. Below are some good links to get you on the right track.

Help with rollover drop down menus

I created a flash document with rollover drop down menus, but
the menus some times won't go back up unless you rollover their
associated buttons again. Also I created a link inside one of the
buttons on one of the menus, but when you click that button the
menu stays down until you rollover the button again. Some times 2
menus will be down at the same time. Can anyone help me fix these
problems? I'm a beginner and this is the first flash movie I've
ever made.

There is a lot of documentation on the web describing techniques to implement "Cascading Dropdown lists in Excel".
A few starting points that may be helpful:

I need help with a button animation!

Hi,
I hope someone can help with a simple-looking problem which
nonetheless has me stumped!
I have a feeling that I've missed something obvious.
I've created a movie clip to act as a button (I've called it
"abs_button") and placed it on the stage.
My main movie has one frame.
Within the "abs_button" movie clip there are 5 layers.
Labels, actions, default button state, rollover state and rollout
state.
Technically, default button state, rollover state and rollout
state could be on the same layer as they don't overlap, but I've
given each animation its own layer for clarity.
FRAME 01.
Default button state is one frame with a graphic of the
button. Just a label at the start ("abs_up") and a "stop();" action
at the end.
FRAME 02 to 31.
Rollover state is a 30 frame animation. Label at start
("abs_over"), "stop()"; action at the end.
FRAME 32 to 62.
Rollout state is a 30 frame animation. Label at start
("abs_out"), "stop()"; action at the end.
All animations were achieved with tweens.
My initial "abs_button" code:
on (release) {
getURL("targetPage.htm", "_self");
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("abs_button", "abs_over");
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("abs_button", "abs_out");
As it stands, the animation jumps to frame 1 of "abs_out" on
rollout.
I need the "abs_over" animation to always play through to the
end, as the "abs_out" is "abs_over" in reverse (i.e. image grows
large on rollover and shrinks again on rollout.
I've tried for 2 days to solve this, but I clearly need help.
My experiments with variables simply didn't work.
I would be grateful if someone could tell me where I'm going
wrong!
Thanks,
Andy

use this:
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("abs_over");
Since the code is attached directly to the movieclip, you
don't have to
identify the clip. A gotoAndPlay() function takes a frame
number or a
frame label name as its argument, never the name of the clip
that
contains the frame number or name.

Help with Enabled Buttons

I am looking for a way to enable/disable all buttons in a
swf. I found this searching here but I don't understand it, and am
looking for some of the many ways, as mentioned.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15&catid=288&threadid =1240137&highlight_key=y&keyword1=enabled
I am messing with having things load in what I call "windows"
and when you close a window, basically it just collapses the .swf.
The problem I have is that the cursor reacts to roll overs and I
can still rollover buttons in the swf even though its collapsed. To
see this prob go to:
www.custom-differentials.com
and open the gallery, then drag the gallery to the middle of
the screen, close the gallery, then move the mouse around the
outside of the "title bar" and watch the mouse change colors even
though there is nothing there. I put a trace in the rollover
handlers so I know which buttons are causing this. I just would
like a broad sweep disable all buttons while the window is closed.
Thanks in advance for any help.

OK, I lied to you. I meant to say I was setting the _height
value of the swf to .1, not the y value. Any way the lie is that I
was actually setting it to 0, which is what was causing my problem.
I changed the resize value to .1 and the problem dissapeared. I am
going to try out your suggestion though, for s&g. Thank you for
the help.
I am not gonna mark this answered cuz I am curious on the
original question. Before your suggestion and me stumbling onto my
own stupidity, I was trying out an array that stored button names
and I would cycle through them enabling and diabling as I opened
and closed. One thing I noticed was that my galleries contained 50+
pics and the latency in my push loop may have become a problem.
Thanks Again.

Each button displays the same text with html tacked on as the button except for the Home page of course. What should the text be?

I have a bunch of text, One of the words "merino" is bule as
to say there is a link hear! And I want an image of the "merino" to

HTML is a lot different from Flash! :-)
I believe you could do this using DW's Show-Hide layer
behavior - have
mousing over the link trigger a layer with the image to
appear. Someone else
may have a better idea.
Just FYI, having to mouse over a link in order to get more
information about
it isn't usually appreciated by users. You *might* want to
re-think this
plan..

Help With Radio Buttons -- URGENT!!

Hi i am new to using UI compents in flash.
Basically i havnt a clue where to start.
Just some simple action script will help and be much
appreciated if someone can give me it.
Basically i have a question to ask which requires radio
buttons to answer the question.
I have a question and the answers are A, B, C, D.
I want:
A to equal 1
B to equal 2
C to equal 3
D to equal 4
E to equal 5
Would someone be able to tell me how to set up the radio
button so that the value of the radio button is stored into an
array called SCORE.
i dont need a tutor for arrays, i can do them, i just need
help with the radio buttons so a reference to an array would be
enough, eg how to store the answer from the radio button in an
array.
Thank you

Place the radio buttons on the stage and set their parameters
to what you need. Make sure that for each group of radio buttons
you give them the same group name. Then you could use something
like this:
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
var answerArr:Array = new Array();
listenerObject.click = function(eventObj:Object) {
answerArr.push(eventObj.target.selectedData);
trace(answerArr);
radioGroup.addEventListener("click", listenerObject);
radioGroup refers to the group name for the buttons.
eventObj.target will refer to the actual radio button
clicked.

Need help with encore buttons - highlights

Hi All
I am seeking help with Encode CS5. I have a project working fine except that I dont have highlights for buttons, at least I think thats what its called. So when the mouse or remote control navigates up/down toa button it changes colour.
In the properties of my button, the highlight option is greyed out.
How do I apply highlights ?
many thanks
Chris Anderson

Hi Bill
Thanks for your reply.
Here are 2 screen prints. One from encore the other from photoshop.
First time I have inserted images, and they seem a little small on this message - if you have any problems reading I could email to you.
I have highlighted the first button - which is called 'Highlights' - same issue with all the other buttons.
Do you have to use photoshop to add highlighting? or can you do this in encore - i dont have much experience with photoshop.
Not sure how to check 'Color Set' ? can you tell me how to get that for you - same for transparency for states? - I havent experienced them or changed them as I dont know how to
Yes it was duplicated - have left a message not to reply
Thanks again

UWL - Help with Decision Buttons

Hello SDNers,
I'm customizing the UWL iView to show approval itens only, and their respective decision buttons.
Everything looks ok, but when someone try to submit the decisions it shows the message:
"reject wasn't correct"
Where "reject" is the name I gave to the action.
It also happens with the approval action.
Below is the XML I've created.
Does someone have a clue in what that message means, or what I've done wrong?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi There,
Make sure that your decisionKeys are correct. I have seen issues with this many times. Log on to the backend system and call SAP_WAPI_DECISION_READ or SWK_DECISION READ for a specific workitem (You can get the details of the workitem id from the support information on the UWL - enable this and you can check this specific workitem) The decision key is an internal value (typically a numeric value) corresponding to the selected decision used by the provider.
You will need to ensure that you have x amount of decisions configured in the xml file, where x = the amount of decisions configured in the backend system.
For additional help with this topic please see the userDecision Action Handler documentation:

Help with Social buttons ...

Hi,
I'm designing a muse site with social buttons that are created when you embed code from a site such as facebook, and others. They look like this on my site ...
I would like to build a 'social' area on my site that looks like this instead ...
So, to clarify when my user clicks on the 'f' in the lower of the two graphics above I'd like my website to behave as if the user had clicked on the 'f share' icon generated by the embedded html from facebook.
How?
Many Thanks!
Gary

Hi Gary
This would be a customization with codes for share.
You can use Share This and use the embed code for the same view that you have mentioned , which will allow users to share the page where you will insert the code.
