How to make flash play movieclip for rollout effect on button

I am using AS2 and I'm trying to figure out how to do a RollOut effect using buttons and getting nowhere. You'd think it would be easy!
I have a movieclip within the "over" section of my button, which contains both an roll over and a roll out animation. My problem is that I cant seem to get flash to play the rollOut animation.
I placed the following code in the button itself
on (rollOut) {
    this.start_mc.gotoAndPlay("mouseOut");
Does anyone have any suggestions? I tried setting up a function to find when the user rolls off the button but it didn't work either. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Eileen

Code inside a button will not work.  The code you show would have to be attached to the button, but a button only has the properties that Flash defines for it (unlike movieclips where you can assign all the properties you like).  So you wouldn't be able to target a movieclip inside a button symbol because the button does not have such a property.
Buttons are self animating objects.   You do not need to code to make them perform rollover/rollout animations.  But a button does not have a rollout frame, just the Up frame.  So you would need to have your rollout animation be in the up frame, where it settles to be the button as you see it without interacting with it.
What you might try instead of using a button is to use a movieclip as a button,  Then you can control which frame it is in as you wisdh as well as command things within it to function.

  • How to make Flash to wait for user input

    Hi,
    I found this PHP script, then I made some changes to make it
    FEED the Flash user interface with online user input.
    The main concept of this script is WAITING for user input, so
    it shows the messages and then go to next line and so on.
    The user input go to directly to TEXT file which writes in
    lines, each line has a unique id = (mag_id).
    There "get_msge.php" which works as the middleware between
    FLASH and messages text file.
    The problem, its doesn’t show any data while there are
    data in the text file.
    Help here please, best regards.
    This is the link of
    problem illustartion
    AS is:
    // create an object to store the variables
    varReceiver = new LoadVars();
    // load the variables from the text file
    varReceiver.load("get_msg.php?file_id=1&msg_id=1",
    "POST");
    // trigger something - when the variables finish loading
    varReceiver.onLoad = function(){
    //the variables have finished loading
    if (this.msg_id == 1) {
    _root.xmsg1_swf.text = this.msg;
    _root.xmsg1_ch.text = this.msg;
    gotoAndPlay("line2");
    } else {WAIT }
    PHP is:
    <?php
    //get these values from the FLASH
    $file_id_swf = $_POST ['file_id'];
    $file_name = "messages/messages".$file_id_swf.".txt";
    $msg_id_swf = $_POST ['msg_id'];
    // [0] ."||".[1] ."||".[2] ."||". [3] ."||".[4]."||". [5].
    //$msg_id."||".date."||".time."||".$from."||".$to."||".$msg.
    $fp = fopen ($file_name, 'rb');
    while (!feof ($fp))
    $msg_txt = fgets ($fp, 1024);
    $line = explode ("||", $msg_txt);
    $msg_id = $line[0];
    $from = $line[3];
    $to = $line[4];
    $msg = utf8_encode ($line[5]);
    if ($msg_id == $msg_id_swf)
    echo
    "msg_id=".$msg_id."&from=".$from."&to=".$to."&msg=".$msg;
    }//while
    fclose ($fp);
    ?>

    Well, given the things that you've written, I don't think it
    could. There technically isn't any code in flash that lets it
    "wait." In order to "wait," you must run the script over again
    until some condition is met.
    However, your code does look accurate. Why do you need to
    wait? The onLoad function will be invoked WHEN something is loaded.
    So, I don't see the reason for the "waiting."
    In addition to that, I would like to say that using text
    files isn't that great with flash. I have done this before and
    noticed several problems with using text files. The biggest problem
    is that the text files are cached after being loaded. Every time
    you re-load it again, you will get what you got the first time
    until you reset your cache (ie. close your browser). I suggest
    using MySQL. (Just my thought.)

    how to make mplayer play 3gp type files ??
    I downloaded a Japanese blue movie by amule, but I cannot play it!

    Army wrote:Actually, a few weeks ago, opencore-amr went into [extra] and ffmpeg and mplayer are being compiled against it, so Arch's mplayer should support 3gp files ootb including audio. Video playback was never an issue, because 3gp is just a container, the video codec is usually h263 or h264, which are no problem for mplayer.
    Very new versions of FFmpeg have native amr-nb support. I'm not sure if it happened before or after the most recent FFmpeg bump in the repos.

  • How to make saved IR available for all users

    Hi,
    I've created IR and saved it to several tabs based on search conditions.
    But they're only visible for developers.
    How to make these tabs available for all end-users ?
    Does version 4.0 support this option ?
    Thank you!

    Hi
    At present this feature is not included, although I believe it may be in 4.0. Many people have provided workarounds for this. None of which I have tried. I cannot find the original thread but here is a solution from a chap called Ruud
    >
    One way to share your saved reports with others is to 'Publish' your report settings to a few intermediate tables in your application and have other users 'Import' your settings from there. The reason for using intermediate tables is so that not all your saved reports need to be 'visible' to other users (only those that you've chosen to publish).
    Basically you have available the following views and package calls that any APEX user can access:-
    - flows_030100.apex_application_pages (all application pages)
    - flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_rpt (all saved reports - inclusing defaults and all user saved reports)
    - flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_cond (the associated conditions/filters for above saved reports)
    - wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_rpt (package procedure that creates a new saved report)
    - wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_condition (package procedure that creates a condition/filter for above saved report)
    The way I've done it is that I've created 2 tables in my application schema that are straightforward clones of the 2 above views.
    CREATE TABLE user_report_settings AS SELECT * FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_rpt;
    CREATE TABLE user_report_conditions AS SELECT * FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_cond;
    ( NB. I deleted any contents that may have come across to make sure we start with a clean slate. )
    These two tables will act as my 'repository'.
    To simplify matters I've also created 2 views that look at the same APEX views.
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW v_report_settings AS
    SELECT r.*
    p.page_name
    FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_rpt r,
    flows_030100.apex_application_pages p
    WHERE UPPER ( r.application_name ) = <Your App Name>
    AND r.application_user 'APXWS_DEFAULT'
    AND r.session_id IS NULL
    AND p.application_id = r.application_id
    AND p.page_id = r.page_id;
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW v_report_conditions AS
    SELECT r.*
    p.page_name
    FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_cond r,
    flows_030100.apex_application_pages p
    WHERE UPPER ( r.application_name ) = <Your App Name>
    AND r.application_user 'APXWS_DEFAULT'
    AND p.application_id = r.application_id
    AND p.page_id = r.page_id;
    I then built 2 screens:-
    1) Publish Report Settings
    This shows 2 report regions:-
    - Region 1 - Shows a list of all your saved reports from V_REPORT_SETTINGS (filtered to only show yours)
    SELECT apex_item.checkbox ( 1, report_id ) " ",
    page_name,
    report_name
    FROM v_report_settings
    WHERE application_user = :APP_USER
    AND ( page_id = :P27_REPORT OR :P27_REPORT = 0 )
    ORDER BY page_name,
    report_name
    Each row has a checkbox to select the required settings to publish.
    The region has a button called PUBLISH (with associated process) that when pressed will copy the settings from
    V_REPORT_SETTINGS (and V_REPORT_CONDITIONS) into USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (and USER_REPORT_CONDITIONS).
    - Region 2 - Shows a list of already published reports in table USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (again filtered for your user)
    SELECT apex_item.checkbox ( 10, s.report_id ) " ",
    m.label,
    s.report_name
    FROM user_report_settings s,
    menu m
    WHERE m.page_no = s.page_id
    AND s.application_user = :APP_USER
    AND ( s.page_id = :P27_REPORT OR :P27_REPORT = 0 )
    ORDER BY m.label,
    s.report_name
    Each row has a checkbox to select a setting that you would like to delete from the repository.
    The region has a button called DELETE (with associated process) that when pressed will remove the selected
    rows from USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (and USER_REPORT_CONDITIONS).
    NB: P27_REPORT is a "Select List With Submit" to filter the required report page first.
    Table MENU is my application menu table where I store my menu/pages info.
    2) Import Report Settings
    This again shows 2 report regions:-
    - Region 1 - Shows a list of all published reports in table USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (filtered to show only other users saved reports)
    SELECT apex_item.checkbox ( 1, s.report_id ) " ",
    m.label,
    s.report_name,
    s.application_user
    FROM user_report_settings s,
    menu m
    WHERE m.page_no = s.page_id
    AND s.application_user :APP_USER
    AND ( s.page_id = :P28_REPORT OR :P28_REPORT = 0 )
    ORDER BY m.label,
    s.report_name,
    s.application_user
    Each row has a checkbox to select the setting(s) that you would like to import from the repository.
    The region has one button called IMPORT that when pressed will import the selected settings.
    It does this by using the 2 above mentioned package procedure to create a new saved report for you
    with the information form the repository. Be careful to match the right column with the right procedure
    parameter and to 'reverse' any DECODEs that the view has.
    - Region 2 - Shows a list of all your saved reports from V_REPORT_SETTINGS (filtered to only show yours)
    SELECT page_name,
    report_name
    FROM v_report_settings
    WHERE application_user = :APP_USER
    AND ( page_id = :P28_REPORT OR :P28_REPORT = 0 )
    ORDER BY page_name,
    report_name
    This is only needed to give you some feedback as to whether the import succeeded.
    A few proviso's:-
    a) I'm sure there's a better way to do all this but this works for me :-)
    b) This does not work for Computations! I have not found an API call to create computations.
    They will simply not come across into the repository.
    c) If you import the same settings twice I've made it so that the name is suffixed with (2), (3) etc.
    I did not find a way to update existing report settings. You can only create new ones.
    d) Make sure you refer to your saved reports by name, not ID, when matching APEX stored reports and the
    reports in your repository as the ID numbers may change if you re-import an application or if you
    auto-generate your screens/reports (as I do).
    Ruud
    >
    To me this is a bit too much of a hack and I personally wouldn't implement it - it's just an example to show it can be done.
    Also if you look here in the help in APEX Home > Adding Application Components > Creating Reports > Editing Interactive Reports
    ...and go to the last paragraph, you can embed predicates in the URL.

  • How to make warehouse field inactive for all users in all documents autom.

    Hi All,
    Can anyone pls tell me "**how to make warehouse field inactive for all users in all documents without having to do it through form setting** "for each and every user. It should be visible but inactive
    Thanks & Regards,
    Mukesh Agrawal

    Hi,
    As a work around create a warehouse SelectWH and map the mandatory acoounts as a On hold account(in chart of accounts).So there will not be any posting on this account.
    And set this warehouse as default warehouse for all users.
    So without selecting the appropriate warehouse the user can not add the document.
    I think this might resolve you issue.

  • How to make jar files availabe for deployed EJBs

    Hi,
    I'm interested on how to make jar files availabe for deployed EJBs.
    My EJB is packed in an ear. It uses a util jar. I now just add the jar to the
    classpath, but I think that shouldn't be the way. Is there somthing in the admin

    if so, where do I hve to place it?
    Thanks
    Claudia

    Put the util.jar in the ear with your ejb jars - at the same level (i.e. in
    the root) - but do not include them in the manifest.xml.
    Also each ejb jar that refers to util.jar must have util.jar on its internal
    classpath in the manifest.

  • How to make a portlet unvisible for another(not Owners) Users?

    Hi all,
    I (Site-Owner) have create a little Portal-Site with any portlets.
    I want to make one or two portlets(Admin-Area) unvisible for other users. But when I create a portlet as Site-Owner, then all another users can they see.
    How to make a portlet unvisible for another users?
    Regards
    Leonid Pavlov

    You can hide and show portlets of Web providers (OmniPortlet, Web Clipping, and Java portlets) on portal pages dynamically. This functionality is controlled by security managers. The PDK provides a number of security managers. For example:
    o Group security manager: The group security manager makes the portlet appear to users who are members of a specified group, while hides the portlet for those who are not members.
    o Authentication level security manager: You can use the authentication level security manager to control access to the portlets based on the user’s authentication level. For example you may hide the portlet from public users, but display it to authenticated users.
    In addition to the security managers provided by the PDK, you can build your own security managers.
    Although OmniPortlet and Web Clipping do not expose security managers through the user interface, you can apply them by editing their XML provider definition file.
    For PL/SQL portlets you can use the is_runnable method to control whether the portlet is hidden or shown.

    After you installed MainStage the additional loops and Instruments will show in GarageBand just like all other Loops. you will simply see more loops.
