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
Ian

That 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.

Flash 8 pro crashes when mouse over stage

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 Advance

Thanks 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);

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...

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.

Interactive PDF with mouse-overs was created in Illustrator, now pauses and flashes when opened in Acrobat

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

Inserting flash into Captivate

I have a flash (swf) file that I want to insert into my
captivate that starts out Invisible (Transparent) it has a hotspot
on it when you roll over that hotspot the body of the flash shows.
Basically I'm trying to have a hide show layer on a specific
screen. Since I can't do hide show, Im using flash. I made a
scenario button when they mouse over that button it activates the
flash and the the scenario appears. The problem is that my flash
file starting 'active' where the scenario shows, when I mouseover
it, it hides and then works how it should.

Hi twindsor
Umm, have you tried rollover captions or rollover images?
These can be totally transparent with a reveal occurring when the
user mouses over the hotspot area.
Just wondering why these wouldn't accomplish what you are
looking for.
Just a thought... Rick

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).

If I have a box with a title strip at the bottom, how do I make the strip pop up on mouse over

So I am building a website for my company and Ive hit a brick wall on something that I know I could make work correct but I dont have the time and dont want to contiue to waste time experimenting. I have been using adobe flash and I know how to use it but not on this level I guess, I have got it to work in some cases but seems like it would be the worst to edit if needed.
Im trying to make a box (button) that has a visible title strip at the bottom of it. When you mouse over the title slides up and it shows information, which you can click to go to a link or mouse out and it will go back down. Ive been trying everything and something always seems to not go just right. I need it to be fluid, for I will be doing it to 6 boxes in a row on the landing page of the site. Please let me know if anyone knows what Im talking about or can help in any way possible! There is an example on the sony site near the bottom with 4 boxes. http://www.sony.com/index.php
Also, If anyone were to know the answer to the Q above, What would be the best template to start in for this?
Thanks, T

Consider something like a JavaScript library for your tabs. You can do it yourself with standard jQuery effects easily (http://learn.jquery.com/effects/intro-to-effects/) or even use something premade as a wrapper if you really choose like jQuery UI (http://jqueryui.com/toggle/). Simple things like revealing content via a tab should be done in a modern way.
The content of the tabs can be SWFs if you really have some serious animations/etc they can exist inside there.

How to get text when mousing over image?

Hey there, I am extremely new to Flash, but know other Adobe programs so tend to learn quickly.
I desperately need to find out how to get text to pop up when i mouse over PART of the image and i havent been able to find any help online in the last two days (pulling my hair out in stress).
Now i uploaded a rough mock up i did on Photoshop, so you can see when i mouseover the top layer of the cake i need a line to stretch out and the text to pop up at the end of it. Similarly if i moused over the cherry another piece of text needs to come up in the same manor.
Also since i need it to be a website link so what format do i open it with when i go to FILE- NEW?
Honestly thank you so much in advance to anyone that helps

First you have to choose if you want to handle devices. If not and you want to stay in Flash I'll stick on topic.
In the HTML version you could either use a good old fashioned image map (they're still fine in the HTML5 era) or you could use a layering technique (here's a random layering example).
In Flash you can do it a few different ways. If you intend on keeping the image intact as a single object then you'll be essentially doing the same as an image map. You can draw invisible hitareas on the various parts of the object and have those areas trigger a specific function that will display your text. If you break up the image into the separate parts then you can directly assign those parts to fire off a function themselves.
First I'd like to know your desired direction.

Mouse-Over/Click to change content of Text/Images

Hey,
In the past i have seen website which have the ability for the user to select from images of news stories which would then change the content of the main frame depending on which one was moused over/clicked. I've checked for any way to do this outside of doing it with flash and embedding it and come up with nothing.
Any suggestions or methods for doing this?
Thanks.

You could use the behavior "set text of layer"

Mouse over question

i've made some buttons that on mouseover shows a larger picture above the button. when the cursor leaves that button though the picture disappears until the user mouses over the button again. is there a way to ensure that the picture stays up until the user mouses over another button (then they would see another image)?

Gotcha. Well, here's a "for instance."
Suppose you turn an image into a Movie Clip Symbol. The first frame of your new clip is where your initial button image is. On frame two insert a keyframe and name it "Start" or something like that.
Then, insert a new layer above your original button image. Using the square tool, draw a square over your image. Convert that square to a button symbol. Highlight it, then choose "Edit in Place." Highlight the square image again, right click and choose "cut." Insert a new keyframe on the "HIT" frame, then paste in place that square. You can exit edit in place.
Click on the button you just made, go to Actions and write something like this.
on(rollOver){
gotoAndPlay("Start")};
This will move the playhead to the start frame. If you plan on animating your button, make sure you place a keyframe and the end of your animation. Open your actionscript layer, if you have one (otherwise, make one and insert a stop action in the last frame). stop();
This will make the movie play when someone rolls over the hit button you made, which is placed over your original image. It will stop the playhead wherever your button animation stops. If you do the same thing for another button, when the user clicks the other button it will move the playhead to that movie section.
I'm not the best at explaining these things, but hopefully that offers some clarity. I can try to get a little more detailed if need be.
Good luck.

How to make movieclip controlled by button fade in/out on mouse over/out?

Hi,
I am new to Flash, and have tried searching numerous forums to the answer to this question, but nothing I try seems to work. Basically I am trying to create a single "Image" that triggers different animations when you mouse over different invisible buttons located on specific areas. The technique I am using is basically spacing out the animations over different frames, and using the gotoAndPlay command specifying the where the relevant animation is located.
Here is the code from my actions layer with two animations:
stop(); /*This ensures no animations are playing on the first frame*/
/*Mouse over event for redbutton1*/
redbutton1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fl_MouseOverToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_2);
function fl_MouseOverToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_2(event:MouseEvent):void
     gotoAndPlay(2); /*This is the frame where the animaton triggered by redbutton1 is located*/
/* Mouse Out Event for redbutton1*/
redbutton1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, fl_MouseOutHandler_3);
function fl_MouseOutHandler_3(event:MouseEvent):void
     gotoAndPlay(1) /*takes animation back to the start of timeline where it stops*/
/*Mouse over event for bluebutton1*/
bluebutton1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fl_MouseOverToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_2);
function fl_MouseOverToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_2(event:MouseEvent):void
     gotoAndPlay(30); /*This is the frame where the animaton triggered by bluebutton1 is located*/
/* Mouse Out Event for bluebutton1*/
bluebutton1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, fl_MouseOutHandler_3);
function fl_MouseOutHandler_3(event:MouseEvent):void
     gotoAndPlay(1) /*takes animation back to the start of timeline where it stops*/
Now basically all I need is some code that means that instead of abruptly starting and stopping the animation, the animation will fade in/out whenever the mouseover/out events are triggered. Note: the animation doesn't have to finish, it basically only plays while the mouse is over.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It will help oif you show the code for the code-based tweening. The basics of getting it working with the MOUSE_OVER/OUR commands is fairly straightforward.
You have listeners for both events, and the handlers for each listener is where you activate the tweens. For more seamless functionality it is usually a good idea to have the starting point of the tween be the point where the object currently is (its x or y (or both) propertiy) instead of a fixed value.
