You could be right. I'm not sure what the original post mean't I was assuming that they were incorporating some sort of drop down menu not a movieclip under movieclip type of situation. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Danny Kodicek Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2007 1:23 AM To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Detecting Rollover w/o onRollOver > Another post which has the cancelRollover is the best one to use imho.

Keep a list of all the instances you're testing, in z-order.

RE: [Flashcoders] Detecting Rollover w/o onRollOver
You can use hitTest, you can use mouse position, or you can set an
interval to fire a function in 10 ms when you rollout that checks to see
if a flag is true that the other button will set true onRollOver.
function checkFlag() {
clearInterval(checkInterval);
delete checkInterval;
if (btn2Flag) {
btn2Flag = false;
btn1.gotoAndStop("out");
}
}
btn1.onRollOut = function() {
checkInterval = setInterval(checkFlag, 10);
};
btn2.onRollOver = function() {
btn2Flag = true;
};

Re: [Flashcoders] Detecting Rollover w/o onRollOver
I usually delete the rollOver handler while I'm over it, detecting the rollOut event through hitTest instead of onRollOut... its something like this: myFunction clip.onRollOver delete clip.onRollOver clip.onMouseMove if(!clip.hitTest(_xmouse,_ymouse)) delete clip.onMouseMove myFunction //redeclare onRollOver Holth, Daniel C. escribió: It seems like in many of the projects I'm doing I need to have simultaneous onRollOver events. For example, a small movie clip with additional buttons needs to enlarge when the mouse is over it so the user can clearly click the buttons. However, when the user mouses over a button, flash no longer detects that the mouse is still over the movieclip and thus executes the onRollOut event making the movieclip shrink and the user can't see the buttons clearly anymore. I've used some code which can tell if the mouse is over an object, and attaching that to onMouseMove events can basically make two mouse overs. While its not checking the mouse position every frame, its still not as efficient as I'd like. Does anyone have any thoughts on a more efficient way to detect two mouse over events at the same time?

Re: [Flashcoders] Detecting Rollover w/o onRollOver
One solution I've used in the past was to use collapse() and cancelCollapse() methods. The parent rollover would use setInterval() to call collapse() on a delay of a few milliseconds giving the child onRollOver events the ability to be handled first. The child buttons would call cancelCollapse() on roll over which was basically a clearInterval() call. If cancelCollapse() wasn't called by a button then collapse() would eventually be called by setInterval().

[Flashcoders] Detecting Rollover w/o onRollOver
It seems like in many of the projects I'm doing I need to have simultaneous onRollOver events. For example, a small movie clip with additional buttons needs to enlarge when the mouse is over it so the user can clearly click the buttons. However, when the user mouses over a button, flash no longer detects that the mouse is still over the movieclip and thus executes the onRollOut event making the movieclip shrink and the user can't see the buttons clearly anymore. I've used some code which can tell if the mouse is over an object, and attaching that to onMouseMove events can basically make two mouse overs. While its not checking the mouse position every frame, its still not as efficient as I'd like. Does anyone have any thoughts on a more efficient way to detect two mouse over events at the same time?
