Need help on showing text on mouse over effect?

Im a real noob with flash. What I have is a animation of footprints and each footprint is clickeble and link to a url. That part works fine. What I want to do now is make it so that when you hover the mouse over each footprint it must display some text over the footprint. I realy need some one that can explain this to me in step by step detail on how to acomplish this.
Help me please!

Hi there, thank you for replying.
What I have is footprints as movie clips on my stage. Each footprint has got this code in its "actions". The url for each foot print is just a diferent url, and it works.
on (release) {
getURL("http://riversidecollege.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9&Itemid=3");
Hope its enough info for you to be able to help me.
Thanx!

Hi Sarar2333! Let's get your text tones working again!
Here's a link with instructions how to enable and change your alert sounds for your text/notification settings on your iPhone 4S: http://vz.to/1stiF8a. You can ensure text tones are enabled by selecting a tone in the "Text Tone" setting. Let me know how that works out for you. Thanks!

One more nugget: Chart zoom with the "Mouse Over" effect

Hello all.
Just read my signature first, it might explain a lot. I do not intend to compete with Darren and I don't think this "nugget" (at least it supposed to be one) will amaze any of the LV veterans and this forum is rich of them. But maybe it will bring some new ideas to some of you or maybe it will be useful for some LV beginners (like me). It is very likely, my code will have some lapses, but please be gentle pointing that out to me. If you feel a need, you can always optimize the code and develope it further. Just don't forget to share!
So back to the point.
I am developing a project using LV. In my program there is a waveform chart which has to show 4 plots. Depending on the length of the X Scale, it sometimes gets hard to see the plots clearly because of their density.So I decided that I need a tool, which would zoom the chart in. And this is what I have came up with after a few "Google" searches to check which part of the bike is already invented and also a bit of programming by myself.
Maybe you guys (at least the veterans) know the BetterVIEW Consulting LV example where they have implemented the Mouse Over effect. So a part of their example has been used in this tool and part of the credit must go to them. I thank them a lot
This tool uses a cluster and its property of visibility to show/hide the cluster depending on if the current position of the mouse cursor is in the desired range or not. The program also gets the image of the chart and returns the subset of the image. The subset is taken for the area arounf the mouse cursor. So if you move the mouse, the zoomed in area will also chage in response. After that, the subset of the image is zoomed in for better view.
The user might chage the zoom factor during the execution. Also it is possible to turn the zoom option On or Off if you don't wish to see it for the moment.
This is how the front panel looks like:
And this is the image of the block diagram (see the attached files for the vi, the VI Snippet tool distorts the code too much, so I haven't added it):
I haven't found anything the same in the forum. Yet I'm a newbie here and I don't have that much experience surfing it. If it wouldn't be something new (in the forum, not necessarily to some of you personally), just ignore the thread. I hope this was worth your time and your attention.
Good coding

While evaluating my code please have in mind that I am a LV novice. Therefore sometimes my code might violate some coding rules that I have to learn about myself. But how else could I do that...

Very nice Giedrius.
It takes guts to "step up to the chalk board" so I will do what i can to give you some ideas to think about. This is similar to the type of feedback I offer durring our in-house code reviews.
1) The floating property nodes outside the loop are not sequenced by wires so they could execute after the loop starts. Sometimes this could cause weird errors. Seq with the error cluster.
2) Property nodes can be re-sized so you can apply more than one property setting in the same call. Property node have to execute in the UI thread (which is single threaded) so using a single nodes will force a single context switch rather than one for each.
3) Setting the same property repeatedly in a loop just burns CPU. THe Scale min for both X an Y can be moved outside the loop ?
4) THe Wait Until Next ms" function does not get used in any of my code. It is not a way to get a fixed wait but rather a random wait. If you code completes 1 ms after the next multiple, the delay is double less 1 ms. If you have multiple loops using them and it f the delay for each are not unique prime numbers, then the "Wait until next ms multiple" is a good (cough cough) way of getting them all to wake up at the same time and fight for the CPU.
5)An Event Struture to monitor mouse enter/leave and mouse move (this would have to be a sepearte loop) is easier on the CPU than polling.
6) Is that math in the case to handle the Chart position on the FP? If so then using the property nodes for the chart to find its postion will let you code adapt to GUI changes.
7) Right to left wires are not well recieved.
8) A Bundle by Name is prefered over a "Bundle" since it is self documenting. I know the Picture function so I can see that is the rectangle you are specifying but reader not famliar with that function would not be able to "READ" the code without poking at it.
9) THe event structure would also help with setting the Zoom factor. Only poke it when you have to.
That is all that comes to mind at the moment.
Again thank you!

Specific region mouse over effect(Button 1 fades out and Button 2 fades in).

Dear All -
I am new to Flash CS5 and building Flash navigation bar with buttons on it.
Below is my problem description that I want to solve with your help.
I have a rectangular bar and placed one small button(Button 1) on this bar. Also, I have similar button(Button 2) with some graphics on it which is of similar size as to previous Button 1.
Button 1 - Without graphic.
Button 2 - With graphic on it.
What I want is that, whenever mouse is taken over Button 1 placed on the rectangular bar, it should fade out and simultaneously Button 2 should fade in. I want only button region to be sensitive to this mouse over effect and not the complete rectangular bar.
Kindly let me know how can I define the specific region(button region only) to be sensitive to mouse over effect in flash, and how to place Button 1 and Button 2 in layers so that both are at the same positition(so that there is no displacement of button detected).
Thank You,
Saurabh Khanna.

Hello -
Thank you for the reply. Button 1 does not have glowing effect, whereas Button 2 has a glowing effect. So what I wanted is that when initially Button 1 is loaded during page load, when I mouse over Button 1, Button 1 would fade out and Button 2 sitting behind Button 1 would automatically look like fade in(due to gradual fad out of Button 1 on top of Button 2).
I could do this now, and would like to Thank you for your reply.
I did this by creating movie clip on "Over" event of Button 1 and changing its Alpha property. But now what I want is how to gradually fade out, means when I remove my mouse from over button, then Button 2 should fade out gradually which will automatically make Button 1 fade in gradually.
I could not find the "Out" event just like we have "Over" event for Button, so I assume this can only be done using ActionScript somehow.
Let me know if I am going correct with my assumption, and possibly if you could help me achieve the remaining half(fading out gradually when mouse is removed from the button).
Thank You once again for your reply.
Thank You,
Saurabh Khanna.

I would like to create the same mouse over effect that is used on the home page of Industrial Light

I would like to create the same mouse over effect that is used on the home page of Industrial Light & Magic website. http://ilm.com
Could someone please let me know what the code or effect that is used. Thanks.

It appears there are two slideshows running in parallel where a mask that follows the mouse displays one of them. THe one you see in the moving mask is on top of the other.
If you were to search Google for a custom cursor tutorial you will probably end up with most of what you need for getting the mask to follow the mouse.

Mouse Over Effect

Here is what I want to do in Keynote '08:
I want to make an object appear when the mouse cursor goes over/near it. I think it's called a "mouse over" effect.
To help illustrate:
1. I want my Keynote slides as uncluttered as possible and,
2. I want to start a choice of other slides or effects. Mouse over allows me to hide these in plain sight, so to speak, until I mouse over one of the triggers.
How do I do this? Thanks, JLG [email [email protected] if I'm not clear above.]

Welcome to the forums!
Mouseover effects are not available in Keynote. You can have transparent (and therefore invisible) buttons with hyperlinks, but Keynote will only take action on a click, not a cursor hover.

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...

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.

Need help with show/hide and layers moving

I'm more of a designer, so I don't know code or CSS well at
all. I'm doing an online portfolio for a class and need help with
layers not staying in place in different browsers. The portfolio is
created with a table, but I wanted to use the show/hide function
for thumbnails of work. Are layers the only way you can use this
function? I read layers don't work well with tables, so how else
can I make it so when you mouse over a thumbnail, the larger image
appears in another cell?

> I don't know code or CSS well at all.
That's unfortunate.
> layers not staying in place in different browsers.
Layers don't move. But the rest of your page does.
Before you get too wrapped up in layers, though, please read
this -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layerlaws.asp
They are not good when be used as a primary layout method.
> I read layers don't work well with tables
They work fine with tables - but you have to understand both
tables and
layers to use them.
Why not show us your page, so we can see what you are
struggling with?

Need help with automating text import/pasting/macro between Photoshop and Excel

Hey everyone,
I'm working on a large project now that seems extremely daunting, but I was hoping there would be some way to automate it using either Actions or some sort of macro program. Here's the gist:
I've created a template with 24 differently sized text boxes in the photoshop image file. Each text feild has unique text that needs to be be pasted into it, which has been compiled in excel. This wouldn't be too dificult to do, except I have to recreate this image and all 24 text fields aproximately 350 times. None of the text boxes will remain static through all 350 images as text is the title, description, and demographic ratings/percentages/data for the topic of each image. I did something similar manually last year and it took me about 3, non-stop 18 hour days to complete it.
(the test template)
Can anyone think of any way I could automate this process? I'm thinking some sort of macro that copies cell 1 in excel, switches to photoshop, opens layer 1, pastes, switches back to excel, goes to cell 2, copies, back to photoshop, layer 2, pastes, etc, etc, then does a 'save as' in photoshop and revets to PS layer 1, EX cell 1 (on tab 2) to start the process all over again. I have no idea if this would work or if there is another way to do this but I would really appreciate any help or advice you guys could give. I don't have really any expreience using PS Actions or macro programs/scripts, so I may be over my head or overlooking a really simple way to do this. If there's a way to do it, I'm persistent enough to figure it out and get it working. Doesn't really matter how it gets done, I just need to fill those text boxes as best as I can and as quickly as I can.
Any help you all could give is really appreciated.

Have you read up on the Variables support in Photoshop?

Variables/Input Parameters Value help not showing texts

Hello,
I have created a crystal report based on a calculation view in Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.1 SP5, which has a input parameter on the field "Region". For the value help, I am using a custom view based on T005U in which I have made sure that RegionName field is present in the "Label Column" property of the Region field.(Required for viewing descriptions of LOVs).
In the crystal report, while previewing data in the query builder, I am able to see the value help for the input parameter in the prompt screen, which displays only the key part, but does not display the description of it. Moreover, after accepting the prompt value, the preview runs into an error(as shown below). Please note that I get the error below only when Region is a part of the output fields of the query.
Instead of input parameter, when I create a variable on the region field in the main calculation view, with the same value help view, I am able to do data preview in the query builder as also data appears in the report on running the query. But, just as in the case of input parameter value help in the prompt screen, even over here, I am only able to see the key part and not the description.
Are variables/input parameter LOV's supposed to display descriptions or just the key part? As also, any reason why I should be getting this error while using Input parameter?
Kindly let me know if I am missing something in the development of this report.
Regards,
Alston

Hi,
I hope you are taking the BEx Query as a source to the crystal report. In the BEx query check region info object should is maintained as Text and Key. If text is not maintained over there you will not be getting text in Crystal reports.

Need help in printing text in footer

Hi Friends,
I need help from all you guys. I am working on SmartForms, and need help. Please look into the below situation, and appreciate if you can help me out.
The Literal **DATA CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE** is to be displayed at the bottom of the
page in the Footer only if the data rolls onto second page.
Thanks,
Nikhil

Hi,
define the two variables in the global definition as
g_cnt type sy-tabix.
g_flg type c .
->in the initialization tab pass the internal table that is the main window.
g_cnt = lines( the table name which you are using in the main
window before the footer).
Now you have the total no of lines in the g_cnt.
in the loop which is in main window create the program line pass the output parameter as g_flg.
in the condions tab give the condition as g_cnt = sy-tabix.
in the source code of that program lines
g_flg = 'X'.
now for the footer where you are displaing the text coutinued on next page for in codition tab give the condition as g_flg = space.
Thanks,
NN.
