[RESOLVED] Double Rollover in a menu

[danielboccato]

Hi,

I am creating a menu. You can see what it looks like so far:

http://rogerioboccato.com/menu/menu.swf
http://rogerioboccato.com/menu/menu.fla

and this is the script:

AG_logo.stop();

hover.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,startC lip);
function startClip(e:MouseEvent):void {
AG_logo.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
hover.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,finishC lip);
function finishClip(e:MouseEvent):void {
AG_logo.gotoAndPlay(7);
}

my problem is that I want to add rollover actions on the menu items and make them clickable. This has been impossible because there is a giant invisible button (called "hover") that I have used to make the menu fade in when you rollover it and fade out when rollout...... This giant button overrides any kind of button action inside the menu. Any suggestions??

Is there a way to make the menu fade in when you rollover it without using a button (I don't the cursor to be changed into that little hand if it is not on top of a menu item, understand?)


I tried to be as clear as I can... If you have any questions, please let me know! I appreciate your help very much!!!

thanks

Remove hover, and put those listeners on stage instead...remember to make an opaque background though if you're using a transparent wmode.

thanks for the reply... but I am not sure if i solves it...
what if i need the background to be transparent?
any solutions?

thank you very much

It should still work if you put in a background fill with 0% alpha, just so long as there's an object for the mouse to register...it can't be blank stage.

Hey if this still isn't working, try putting a 'gotoAndStop(1)' in the end of your AG_logo MC instead of the stop(), and put this into your first frame:

AG_logo.stop();
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, startClip);

function startClip(e:MouseEvent):void{
    if(AG_logo.currentFrame < 6) AG_logo.play();
}

stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, finishClip);
stage.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, finishClip);

function finishClip(e:Event):void{
    if(AG_logo.currentFrame == 6){
        AG_logo.play();
    } else {
        AG_logo.gotoAndPlay(12 - AG_logo.currentFrame);
    }
} 

Also, delete the hover object.

this might seem rather stupid....
but how do I make the background opaque?
sorry to bother you with these newbie questions.
but thanks very much for the help anyway
