Re: FLASH: Mouseovers with Animation

[John Croteau]

Hi Chris,


My Basic Tell Target shpows tha basic button technique.

http://www.FlashCentral.com/Tutorials/TellTarget.htm

Now that we have search we will be improving keyword searches.


For your specific request I would make a nested movie clip (one inside

the other.


I would start by creating a n MC with an instance name of Fade.

In frame 1 create a new MC called with an instance name Action.

Put a Park frame (blank keyframe and stop action) in frame 1. Put

standard action in following frames with a stop action in last frame.

In the Fade MC create an alpha Tween to fade out.


On Mouse Over

  Tell Target           Target: /Fade/Action

      Go to and Play    Label: Start   (Start should be frame 2)

  End Tell Target

End On(0)


On Mouse Out

  Tell Target           Target: /Fade

      Go to and Play    Label: Start   (Start should be frame 2)

  End Tell Target

End On(0)


In last frame of Fade MC put these actions


Tell Target           Target: /Fade/Action

    Go to and Stop    Label: Park   (Park is frame 1)

End Tell Target

Go to and Stop Park


The above should be close if not exact.

Will play animation once and fade out on Mouse Out, no matter what state

the animation is in. So if animation is still playing when moused out

then it will continue yto play while it is also fading out.
