SV: [Flashcoders] Rollover states for sub-items

2006-10-08 Thread Johan Karlsson
When a movieclip has a buttonevent placed on it anything inside it will not be able to get any buttonevents. What you need to do is use a mouseMove event and a hitTest to simulate a rollover/rollout event either for the nav or the subitems. E.g: Nav.onMouseMove = function() { if(this.h

[Flashcoders] Rollover states for sub-items

2006-10-08 Thread Perdue, Blake
I'm building an expandable/collapsible navigation - on rollover it expands, on rollout it collapses. I've placed event handlers on the navigation container movie clip, like so: nav.onRollOver=function() {this.gotoAndPlay('expand');} nav.onRollOut=function() {this.gotoAndPlay('collapse');}

My focus in Flash development is more about apps than games, so I've managed to work around the fact that don't really have the background in math and science (yay art school) to produce realistic effects that lend "physicality" to objects, such as realistic physics, simulated 3d, etc. Howe

Something I've noticed that helps with this issue is on the first frame of the PNG sequence, place a copy of all of the PNGs on one frame (either masked or offstage), and it seems to load them all into memory for a faster run through. Plus, I don't think using cacheAsBitmap will give you an

Not sure if this is a solution in your case, but you could identify the calling function this way... class Main { function Main() { runHello._id = "Main told me to do it..."; runHello(); } function runHello() {

Hi, i reread my own post and saw it was a bit short:). In general though this was one of the reasons i wrote xflas2. Since its still in alpha (the alpha part is referring to the documentation or lack of it though, not the state of the code, that is pretty solid now), the easiest is to download it
