RE: [flasher] Rollover problem: How do you do something like this?????

[Mats Persson]

King,


I'm sure the other brainier guys on this list will have another way of doing

this, but here's my Sunday morning version.


Your answer is Variables.


When you click on the button you set a variable (Menu1=extended) and when

you rollout/rollover the button you just check if that variable is empty (IF

Menu1 eq "") then start animation, else you do nothing).


That way you should be able to have it stay open after a release on, and

track it's state on a rollover/rollout easily.


Now there are many ways that you can do all this in, but that's the general

idea.


Apologies for the general nature of this answer, but it's Sunday morning and

my head is not in gear yet :)



As for tutorials, just look at www.flashkit.com or www.were-here.com for

them, I'm certain you'll find something along this way there.

Flashers,


I have a rollover problem I'm sure you will all know the answer to. Then

when you tell me, I'll know too.


Go here: www.reinerassociates.com/flash/test.html  to see the problem.  I

have documented the particulars at this link too.


Thanks to those that can figure this out.   I couldn't find any tutorials

that deal with a situation quite like this.  The closest I found was the

Track as Menu lesson, but it included no animation of various mouse event

states.  Yet I've seen it done many times before...


Thanks so much,


King
