Mouse over effects

[tobztertroll]

Has anybody had any luck making animated mouseover effects with Kool Moves? Please let me know. I can't do it using the behaviour option. When you start editing the hover button you can only enter a static frame.

Here's a mouse over effect. Made it in like 20 seconds. Could use more work but it works. This is just to show you one way to do this.

If you want to make a really nice one I would use the load movie and unload movie features. This is the best way that I know of. Someone else might know another though.

This one is a little better but no hipe on the graphics.:p This uses the load and unload features. Includes a fun file and two swf files. A text document in the zip file explains more about the swf files. The fun file just loads the first swf file (button.swf), as if you were to use the fun file as your main site. Hope I didn't confuse you there. Enjoy :D

You can make a button with mouse effect only and states. Selecting the over state you choose : I will draw it" and insert an emptie movieclip. You can import any movie , swf etc. in the movieclip ( see example)

Thanks Guys,

I got it now. I like henkvg's method better for what I'm trying to do but I can use flashp's method for other effects. What I was doing wrong, henkvg, I was trying to import a flash file into the empty movie clip instead of a kool move file. This is the only way it worked for me.

Thanks to you both.

Thanks henkvg. :) I didn't even know about this option, I'll have to test it out when I get a moment but I'm sure it's better then what I came up with.

The Method that HenKvg outlines is the best of them. You could AS this but it isn't a s simple as this method.

A note- Make sure that your Movie contains more than 1 frame if you attempt this. If not then you will end up with frames you can't access (A BUG).

Also make sure to assign actions to the button or else you get nothing.

Thanks for the info on the bug. I couldn't figure out why I could not make a working button. Now I know to include more frames.
