How do I create a rollover movieclip button?

I'm very new to Flash and would like to know firstly how I create a movieclip, and then how to make the movieclip into a rollover button (having the animation play when the cursor is over the button, and it pausing/restarting when taken off). Preferably in a step by step guide, thanks for any help!

click insert>new symbol>movieclip.
on the timeline create your movieclip animation.
add a layer to frame 1 and add the following code:
stop();
open your library and drag your movieclip from the library to the main timeline/stage. in the properties panel assign an instance name, eg mc
open the actions panel and add:
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,overF);
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,outF);
function overF(e:MouseEvent):void{
MovieClip(e.currentTarget).play();
function outF(e:MouseEvent):void{
MovieClip(e.currentTarget).gotoAndStop(1);

URGENT! How do I create a vertical scroll button in Flash CS6 for online banners?

Hi, I am creating Flash online banners and the disclaimer needs to open as a vertical scroll banner once the mouse touches the 'x close' button where the words 'Disclaimer' is stated.
How do I create a vertical scroll button including text?
I am using Flash CS6.

Hi Babaa,
sry for the lateness of my reply.
I would simply make a button that when clicked, displays a layer containing your disclaimer text. The discliamer text would be inside a Movie Clip (MC) for ease of controlling.
the MC then contains a text field which has a scrollable field. as the user scrolls through you can then display a "close" button to close out the disclaimer MC.
If you still need the work done feel free to email or PM me here and we can discuss the job further.

Russ

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.

How do you create a rollover so larger image appears nearby?

I'd like to create a rollover so that when your mouse moves over the first, the rollover appears as a larger image near to the first.

You can do it with pure CSS, too.

How can i create forward and back buttons for a dreamweaver slideshow?

Hi
I am an illustrator attempting to create a website in dreamweaver (basically it will be an online portfolio). I would like to have a box/slideshow with images of my work that someone can browse through by clicking 'next' and 'back' buttons. Does anyone know how to do this? I have been trying to find out how to do this for ages - i dont want to use flash if possible as i am worried about making the site too complicated. I know how to make swap image thumbnails, but i think my site would be more user friendly (and look more professional) if i could have next and back buttons. Would this involve complicated css code (which scares the life out of me!) or is there a relatively easy way to do it? I have got two 'dreamweaver for idiots' books, but neither of them cover this topic. Can anyone help?

If you are using CS4, there is a Command to create a Web Album... this does it automatically for you.
Otherwise, you can create this manually. Say you have 3 pages,
page1.html (is the index page of the album)
page2.html
page3.html
Therefore, using ordinary text links
Home would link to page1.html
Previous would link to page3.html
Next would link to page2.html
You would need to make adjustments naturally to each page as you move along with the gallery pages, changing the previous and the next links as needed. Below is a a basic example of setting up the links in a simple table structure. You would also then style the table layout as you see fit - yes, using css preferably :-)
<table>
<tr>
<td><h2>MY GALLERY OF PHOTOS</h2>
<a href="page3.html">Previous</a> | <a href="index.html">Home</a> | <a href="page2.html">Next</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<br>
<a href="../images/img_2401_jpg.jpg"><img src="../images/img_2401_jpg.jpg" border=0></a><br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Here's an article on creating an album using the DW Command I mentioned earlier. You could create the album and then copy and paste the code into a current page if you've already designed on.,... not too difficult, I just tested it. You do however, need to have Fireworks to process the images.

You could also check out the Lightbox effect which is very popular:
http://www.lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/
Or do a google search for 'jquery'. There are different album effects using that framework as well.
Hope some of this helps :-)

How do I create a rollover state in CS3?

Though some of Imagready's features have been ported to Photoshop CS3, there is no "Web Content" palette that allows me to make simple rollover states for a button. If you recall, in Imageready, this palette allowed you to create and control multiple rollover states for a button, then on export it would automatically add suffixes to the files name for the rollover states.
Right now, I'm doing it old scholl, turning layers on and off, and individually export normal and rollover states for a button, and naming them by hand each time. Very unproductive and given to error.
Please advise.

fireworks or use imageready in CS2

How do I create a quick tool button for a specific preflight profile to flatten the document?

Hi all,
I'm using Acrobat XI on a Mac.
So I've done my googling and searching of the forum, and figured out how to flatten a document (I apply my signature with a stamp) using preflight. However, I'd like to create a simple, quick tool (or otherwise) button to click and flatten a document. How do I go about doing that?

I don't think you can create a button to run a Preflight Profile. But you can create a Preflight Droplet from the Preflight Options menu. This lets you drag and drop PDF files onto the droplet (essentially an alias to run the profile). You choose a Success folder and Failure folder location to direct files which pass or fail the preflight. (Read more in Acrobat Help.)

How do I create a "Delete Page" button?

I am making a pdf that auto populates several other pages with data that is entered on the first page. I want to create a button that will delete a specified page if it is not needed. I want the button on page 1. Basically:
When this button on page one is clicked, I want it to delete (or hide) page 3.
(I'm a total newbie, so keep that in mind.)

This was really helpful to me today because I also wanted to be able to delete a page and kept trying to remove an instance of the page I was trying to delete. So thank you for asking this question and getting me the answer altho I think it didn't help you too much.
I remeber when I was new and someone would answer my question and I had no idea what they were talking about. So I'm going to try and help.
You can put your button to delete the page on any page. I put mine on each page of an inventory template I was designing because each page had a different kind of table on it that was only used for certain items. If they weren't inventorying those items, then that page with the table wasn't needed on the inventory report. So what I did after reading this answer was to put a generic button on the page I wanted to delete. Again the button can go anywhere in the document.
Then I went up to the menu bar at the top of the LC window, and chose "Tools" from the list, then slid down to "Action Builder". In that window, I clicked the little scroll with the "A" on it to create a new action. So now I have a "condition" and a "result". I chose when (object) and clicked on the word object which opened a screen showing my form's hierarchy, where I clicked on the button that I wanted the action applied to (I always name my buttons what I want them to do like "remove pg3" so I don't get that one confused with other buttons in the list", then OK. Now I needed to tell LC what result I wanted. So using the drop down list I slid all the way to the bottom and chose "Show or Hide an Object". Then it said "Set the visibility of (object) to" and gave me another drop down. In your case, you want "(untitled Subform) (page 3)" to disappear, so click on that subform and OK, and then you want that subform (page) to be "hidden" in the drop down. Then OK. At this point, I suggest you save your form and then open it in Preview PDF or Adobe Reader. Click on the button and see if page 3 doesn't disappear from the form. If you have put page numbers in your form, it will subtract one page from the page numbers and that page is truly gone for that pdf.
The next time you open the origninal file again, it will be back along with the button to "hide" it again, but if you now save the form after hiding that page, it won't be there the next time you open that file.
The reason you want to choose to make the object "hidden" is because it will take it out of the page count and truly remove it from the form that you save. If you choose "invisible" there will be a blank page in your pdf and that probably isn't what you want.
You can also use this same process to make pages visible on button click. If I have a form where I am asking if someone is married, and their answer is no, then I don't need that section for their spouse's information to even appear on the form. In that case, I use a checkbox for yes to make that section visible, and a checkbox for no doesn't open that section.
Play around with the actions that you can apply to different objects and you'll discover that the "action builder" can become your best friend if you don't write javascript, like me.
I hope this helps you. It helped me. Thanks.

How do I create an "Add Row" button (add instance with click activity)

I've been looking through a couple of examples, but the xml is lost on me. I need to learn how to do this for myself because it'd help me out on so many forms. There're forms I just simply cannot do without this function.
Where I get lost is the javascript linking the button to the specific table. I've been trying to use this I found in an example:
<event activity="click"><
script contentType="application/x-javascript">SAPS350a.Page1.TableData1.Table1.Row2.instanceManager.addInstance(1);</script></
event>
Now, I'm a complete newbie, so I'm sure someone can point out to me exactly what's wrong, but I dont know what "SAPS350a" means nor can I figure out where the label "TableData1" connects to.
If anyone can explain this in a "add rows for dummies" fashion, I'd be greatly appreciative.
See attached an example of one of the fields I need to repeat.

Hi Liz. You shouldn't really be playing in the xml. Especially if you are a newbie . You could corrupt the whole form if you do something wrong and you probably wont be able to rectify it. Scripts must be added in the script window. In your post, the 'SAPS350a.Page1...' is the path to the row of the particular form that you copied that code from. I have added a button to your form. have a look at the script to see what i have done.

How do I create a start/stop button for each separate while loop within my program, when each of them does a different task?

I have a multimeter VI with separate while loops to accomplish the different tasks of reading voltage, current, etc. Each while loop has a stop button, but I need a button that will have to be pressed in order for the while loop to even start. I tried putting another while loop around the present one, but it still has to run once before it will stop. I want the user to have to press the button before it runs, because they interfere with each other.
I am just learning so patience and your kind assistance is greatly appreciated!

Hello,
I'm not entirely clear with everything you have going on and what you want your final functionality to be, but you can use sequence structures to prevent a loop from starting until the user presses a button like this:
-Zach
I have to ask, why is an NI employee using examples using sequence frames? The same thing could be accomplished using data flow by simply wiring the value of the first stop button out of teh first while loop and connecting it to the second loop. This would then use data flow to control the sequence. Why show new users bad programming methods?
As to the original question I would concur with altenbach on using an event structure.

How can I create a rollover drop down menu from a link in Dreamweaver CS5?

Hello all, I am working on a portfolio website and I was just wanting to know if there is any way that I can create a drop down menu from a text link that cascades once the cursor has made contact with the link. I would like to have it in my navigation bar where the Portfolio link is. Basically, my navigation bar looks like this : Home | Resume | Portfolio | Contact. I only want three items on the drop down menu beneath the portfolio link: Traditional Art, Photography, Graphic Design. I would really appreciate any help I can get! Thanks!

How can I create a dynamic image button

Hi
I want to fill a region with buttons with image. I will execute a PL/SQL procedure to do this. I have made some tests but the image didn't is shown.
I write in my plsql code:
htp.p('<input type="image" src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#image.png" >');
Any help?
I am using Apex 4, EPG, Oracle 11g, Ubuntu environment.
Tks a lot.
Ricardo

There is no "image" type for an INPUT tag
Oh yes there is.
>
I have made some tests but the image didn't is shown.
I write in my plsql code:
htp.p('<input type="image" src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#image.png" >');Works for me—in terms of images being displayed—from a dynamic PL/SQL region. Confirm the image(s) exist as uploaded files and are correctly referenced (case sensitive)? The image(s) are actually workspace images and not associated with a particular application?
However, the bigger problem likely to arise here is that we don't normally generate <tt>input</tt> elements in APEX in this fashion: we either get APEX to do this for us or we use the <tt>apex_item</tt> API—which doesn't include a method for generating inputs of type <tt>image</tt>. If this region is generated inside the form APEX generates then page submission will fail with a 404 error as the inputs generated through your PL/SQL are not known to APEX. All you can really do in this fashion is attach an <tt>onclick</tt> event handler to submit the page using the <tt>apex.submit</tt> JavaScript API method, either using a Dynamic Action as Tobias suggests, or directly in your code:
htp.p(q'{<input type="image" src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#icon-1.png" onclick="apex.submit('foo'); return false;" alt="Foo" />}');Which means it's not a great deal different from using an <tt>img</tt> element, as Andy said. There's also the <tt>button</tt> element, which allows you to construct a clickable button using other elements (as long as you don't have to support IE6):
htp.p(q'{<button type="submit" onclick="apex.submit('bar');"><img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#icon-2.png" alt="Bar" /></button>}');Why have you chosen to try this approach rather using <tt>img</tt> or APEX button templates?

How do I create this rollover effect?

http://www.gunnar.ca/layout.htm
I am attempting to design a site. I have the idea for the
layout and have created it using tables at the address above. I
realize I should be using css to create the layout instead of
tables. First of all - is this layout difficult to create using css
- and where would I start with that? I ordered an HTML/CSS book and
will dig in when it arrives.
Secondly - I want an image to appear in the empty space
(where there is an empty table right now) when I mouse over a menu
item - ie when I mouse over "wood veneer" I want a graphic to
appear in the empty space - that would be java script, no?
So I would layout the page using html and css, then add some
java script in to make the roll over thing happen?
