Using Roll Over in Timeline?

Hi I am trying to use a rollover or a click effect on a button placed in a time line. The button is in a different layer to the running time line. When I go in to up, over down, hit and insert a new frame there when the movie runs the button just flicks back and forwards continually.
How can I get the button to switch over only when I roll over or click it?
Any advice would be a great help.
Thanks
Harry

assuming this is a movieclip button, attach a stop() to the first frame of the movieclip button. then code for your click, rollover and rollout.

Using Roll Over Images for Hots Spots in DW CS 5

Ok I had this sort of working .. but
what i am trying to do is have pictures pop up when the mouse rollovers a hot spot.   I do this with two layers and using the behavior window
The full project is at http://www.kasdivi.com/pages/map.html... ( thought that might be better then posting code)   The issue is in the left hand top of the map wjere you see malmok (Col H Row 2)or Boka Bartol (also Col H Row )
you have to move down the page before the image will show
I though there might be something in that area mapping as if you leave map in topmost position and mouse over Boka Onima (Column M row 5) the image pops up fine
I tried to restart with a simpler test www.kasdivi.com/testmap.html
the supposedly live hot spots are at Malmok (H2 ) and Boka Onima (M5) but it this test nothing works
I think I am doing something baically wrong
any guidance will be appreciated

You have some code errors that could be causing issues.
Things like missing quote marks around the alt attribute on line 91, your links near that line are also malformed to both your images and webpages.
Run your page through the validator here and repair your errors:

If it's still not funtioning correctly after you have taken care of the problems, post back and we can take a closer look...

Disable roll-over-color in List

Hi,
I'd like to only use roll-over-text-color in my list, but have no roll-over-color at all. Is there a way to kill the roll over color, as well as the selection color?
Thanks

@upshotvideo,
For mx:List, I think Harui is suggesting something like the following:
package comps {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import mx.controls.List;
    import mx.controls.listClasses.IListItemRenderer;
    public class NoHighlightList extends List {
        public function NoHighlightList() {
            super();
        override protected function drawHighlightIndicator(indicator:Sprite, x:Number, y:Number, width:Number, height:Number, color:uint, itemRenderer:IListItemRenderer):void {
            // super.drawHighlightIndicator(indicator, 0, y, unscaledWidth - viewMetrics.left - viewMetrics.right, height, color, itemRenderer);

I am using an XY Graph in LabVIEW to plot magnitude vs angular position. When the angle rolls over from 360 to 0, the plot i

s continuous and a line is drawn all the way across the plot from 360 back to 0. I was wondering if I could turn off this roll-over somehow so I could still have a continuous plotover the 0 to 360 span? Or is there something else I can do or use? Thanks

The attached VI shows how this might work with a sinewave. First run it with the boolean switch off to demonstrate the problem, now then turn the switch on and run the VI again.

How to I create a list or chart to pop up using a mouse roll over?

I have a "Glossary" for this clients website. When moving my mouse over a Glossary Term, I would like the "definition" of that term to "appear" or also known as "popup", then disapear when the mouse is moved away.
I am looking at the roll over states but I just don't see the concept yet. Can anyone help?

Hello,
You can use the "tooltip" composition for this purpose, where you can use the triggers to list your grossary items (by putting a text box over them) and then they will show tooltips when hovered over. Here's a short video on how you can do that: http://screencast.com/t/DNPpSNDwdSPV
Hope this helps.

I can't get my screen to roll over when I turn phone on the side. It used to work, I might have set something wrong thanks

You may have locked the screen. Open Control Center by sliding up with one finger from below the bottom of the home screen. The orientation lock control is at the far right of the top row in Control Center (looks like a lock surrounded by a circular arrow). If it is on, the same icon will be in the menu bar. Also note that not all screens will rotate -- the home screen for example will not.

Button roll-over animation with dynamic text

So I have a button I want to be able to use over and over. When you roll over the button, it does an animation and has a dynamic text box in it. Ovbiously im trying to make each text different for each button. What would be the smartest way to go about this? Thanks,
Dan

create a movieclip, put a stop() in frame one and add your "up" graphics, textfield etc put everything in its own layer. create another keyframe on that timeline and label the frame "over" and add new keyframes only on the layers that will change. ie, if the textfield doesn't change, don't put a keyframe on its layer. likewise, for a "down" frame, if you want one.
use instance names for everything in the movieclip that you want to control with actionscript. ie, your textfield(s) will need instance name(s). i usually use one textfield named tf.
then use:
btn1.tf.text = "test"
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,overF);
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,outF);
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,downF);
function overF(e:Event){
// if you have another textfield here assign its text
// likewise for other objects you want to change
e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop("over");
function outF(e:Event){
// if you changed textfields in the other frames, reassign tf.text here
e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop(1);
function downF(e:Event){
// if you have another textfield here assign its text
e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop("down");

Roll overs- Dont work properly

Please help, i am creating buttons in Flash. When i
look at them enabling simple roll-over they work perfectly. When i
publich in dreamweaver or hit ctl etr in Flash the hit state is
over to the right and not on the text link it should be. Whats
wrong?

Hi pointseven,
As your images are every 250 ms, you don't need any labels.
sym.stop() triggers at each label are useless as well : instead of using sym.play() and sym.playReverse() (there is nothing to play ), just use sym.stop(<ms>). You get the current position in the timeline via sym.getPosition().
Suppose four images at 0, 250, 500 and 750 ms and two buttons named prev and next.
Stage > compositionReady event handler :
sym.stop();
sym.$('prev').hide();
next > click event handler :
sym.stop( sym.getPosition() +250);
sym.$('prev').show(); // just after moving one slide forward, it makes sense moving backward
if (sym.getPosition() == 750) // last image
sym.$('next').hide();
prev > click event handler :
sym.stop( sym.getPosition() -250);
sym.$('next').show();
if (sym.getPosition() == 0)
sym.$('prev').hide();
Instead of hiding/showing the buttons, you could set their opacity. A hidden button is not clickable, but a button with reduced opacity is, hence a test at the begining of the click event handlers.
Stage > compositionReady event handler :
sym.stop();
sym.$('prev').css('opacity','0.5');
next > click event handler :
if (sym.getPosition() == 750)
return; // click not processed
sym.stop( sym.getPosition() +250);
sym.$('prev').css('opacity','1');
if (sym.getPosition() == 750)
sym.$('next').css('opacity','0.5');
prev > click event handler :
if (sym.getPosition() == 0)
return;
sym.stop( sym.getPosition() -250);
sym.$('next').css('opacity','1');
if (sym.getPosition() == 0)
sym.$('prev').css('opacity','0.5');

Movie clip roll overs?

I'm not new to flash but I've always had a problem with action script... I mad e movie clip with a scroll tween..
it has invisible buttons on the movie clip.. Is there a way that I can make it to where if you roll over the buttons
the movieclip, which motion tweens stops?

yes.
what are you doing that makes the movieclip tween? ie, are you using timeline tweening, using the Tween class or using one of the third party tween classes?

Roll over balloons in eBay searches not poping up w/ Safari 2.0.4

Is there a setting or a technique to once again allow roll over balloons to pop up on eBay search listings? I'm referring to the "Enlarge" roll over link in the Gallery picture of search results. This is a "paid for" option that some sellers use.
I do not have "Block Pop-up Windows" checked off in the Security Preference window.
Firefox still allows this, but on both a Powerbook G4 and a iMac Dual Core using Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3) this feature is no longer working for me. (It had worked in Safari until three days ago...could I have inadvertaently changed something?)
For an example of a roll over balloon try searching eBay for an item of interest, and then scan down the resulting list. Typically a few items in large search results will have the "Enlarge" roll over below the gallery picture of an item being sold.

Thanks again.
BTW... I just received this from eBay in regard to my questioning them about this problem. As you said, they seem to be disregarding Safari.
Dear eBay Member,
Thank you for writing eBay in regard to the problem you are experiencing
while trying to list your item using the Safari browser.
If you are using OS X 10.2.x or higher, I would like to suggest using
the Firefox browser. This browser seems to be the most compatible format
for Macintosh users for eBay Picture Services.
If you don't already have this browser installed on your computer,
please visit the following page to download the Firefox browser:

Once the page loads, please select which language you would like to
download, and click on the link under the Mac OS X column.
If you are using OS X 10.2.8 or older, I would then recommend using the
Netscape browser. If you don't have this browser installed on your

How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)

Hello,
Here is the problematic:
1° How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)
- I've many button in a doc im creating
- the color of the buttons is white with black stoke & black text
- in roll over state i want them to inverse the color coding (the text white & bottom black)
- currently the text becomes invisible as black on black cant be seen (ive stroked it white but that looks ugly)
- i would just like to know if there is a function made for this?
My other questions:
2° Ive a presentation on which Ive created buttons which tigger pop-up animations
- i have 5 buttons which trigger animations
- the viewer can chose to Click on any of the buttons randomly
- the problem is once the animation is open how can it be close... either:
a) by it self after "40" seconds
b) when ther viewer clicks another button
3° Ive created buttons linking pages..
- "go to page xxx"
- when i do a preview and click on the buttons the links dont take me to the right pages
- is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'
- what should i do?
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.

You should setup Object Styles - these can also include Paragarph Styles that can be triggered when the Style is selected.

I'm not sure what you mean - I don't do files with Animations

Does it work properly when you export it to the finished file?
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'- what should i do?
InDesign won't link directly to youtube videos. I think your best bet would be to use Downloader to download the video and embed them directly in Indesign.
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.
You can look up how to embed a SWF file into your HTML - but it depends what you mean by "online" there's a dozen ways to get a file "online".

How do I make a textbox appear in a PDF made in InDesign CC when the cursor rolls over another textbox?

I'm trying to make a textbox appear in a PDF made in InDesign when the user rolls the cursor over another textbox, and I want it to disappear when the cursor moves off the first textbox. I've tried the following with various setting, and it's just not working for me.
Display a different button on rollover
You can create a hot spot in which clicking or mousing over an object displays another object. To do this, create two buttons, hide one of the buttons, and use the Show/Hide Button action to show and hide the target button.
Create an object to be used as the source button. In the Buttons panel, click the Convert Object To A Button icon.
Place the image you want to be used as the target button, and convert it to a button.
Select the target image and select Hidden Until Triggered at the bottom of the Buttons panel.
The image needs to be hidden in the exported document so that it can be displayed when the source button is moused over or clicked.
Select the source button and create two different actions, one to show the target image and a second to hide the target image.
If you want the image to appear when the mouse hovers over the source button, use the On Roll Over and On Roll Off events. If you want the image to appear when you click the source button and disappear when you release it, use the On Click and On Release events. In either case, use the Show/Hide Buttons action to display and hide the target button. See Make buttons interactive.
Use the Preview panel to test the buttons.

Here's more information about what I'm doing.
1. create text box with a little text
2. turn it into a button (Button 1)
3. create another text box with some text
4. turn this into a button (Button 2)
5. check "Hidden Until Triggered" for Button 2
6. For Button 1, select "On Roll Over" for Event
7. For Button 1, click + to add Action and choose "Show/Hide Buttons and Forms"
8. For Button 1, change icon next to Button 2 into eyeball (which I assume makes Button 2 visible on roll over).
9. For Button 1,, select "On Roll Off" for Event
7. For Button 1, click + to add Action and choose "Show/Hide Buttons and Forms"
8. For Button 1, change icon next to Button 2 into crossed-out eyeball (which I assume makes Button 2 invisible on roll off).
8. Export to PDF with modified smallest file size and include bookmarks and hyperlinks and include appearance for interactive elements.
Both buttons are visible in the PDF, and nothing happens with roll over and off.
What am I doing wrong?

Roll over images in a slide show

I am trying to make a slide show of before and after images for a client.
Rather than just have them all one after the other, I want all the after images to display as normal, and the before to display on hover for each slide.
I can make this work in a basic slide show when rather than adding an image to the Hero Image box, I use the fill and states.
However this only allows me to do one, as I can't add any more empty Hero Image boxes (or I don't know how to do that, is it possible?)
When I add an image via the slide show menu it appears on top of any fills, and I can't seem to give images added this way a roll over state.
Can anyone tell me how to either add extra blank Hero Image boxes, or how to apply the effect I want to the images in the Hero Image boxes.
Thanks in advance, if there is any further info I can provide about my problem, please let me know!
M

Hi,
You cannot add multiple hero image boxes within the same Slideshow. Now , you can use different slideshows for your different images but that wont give you the slideshow effect but you will be able to see all your after images at once and then if you rollover them you would be able to see the before images.
Now, In order to create the effect that you want, what I would suggest you is to use a 'Composition widget'. In the composition widget, you can make the triggers as small thumbnails for your images and in the Target you can set the fill as your after image and in rollover state you can use the before image. After this you can use the Autoplay feature available in the composition widget and you will get the desired result.
Hope this helps

Can I get rid of the underlined hyperlink and just have roll-over links?

In iWeb 2009, can I get rid of the underlined hyperlink and just have roll-over links?

You have to put them on the server where you are publishing your site to. Where are you hosting your site? If it's a MobileMe account then you have two options:
1 - put the photos in a folder, name it "Pics" and put that folder in your iDisk/Pictures folder. Then use the following URL: http://homepage.mac.com/YourMMe_Account_Name/.Pictures/Pic/FileName (don't forget the period before Pictures).
2 - put the "Pics" folder with image files in your iDisk/Web/Sites folder and use the following URL: http://web.me.com/YourMMe_Account_Name/FileName.
If you're hosting on a 3rd party server it would depend on if you're using a domain name or not. I'm not familiar with 3rd party servers so Wyodor, Ethmoid or someone that is will need to point the way.
