Quick Rollover Question

[PeterPun]

First post. I welcome the hazing.

It appears that on MOUSE_OVER, if you MOUSE_OUT before the clip is finished, it won't see the MOUSE_OUT and the clip remains in the Out frame. What can I do to fix this?

Code is AS3.

Btn1_hit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,Button1Over);
Btn1_hit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,Button1Out);
Btn1_hit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Button1Click);
Btn1_hit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,Button1Up);

function Button1Over(e:MouseEvent):void
{
		btn1.gotoAndPlay("1Over")
}

function Button1Out(e:MouseEvent):void
{
		btn1.gotoAndPlay("1Up");
}

function Button1Click(e:MouseEvent):void
{
		btn1.gotoAndPlay("1Click")
}

function Button1Up(e:MouseEvent):void
{
		btn1.gotoAndStop("1Up")
}

try using MOUSE_LEAVE

No Dice. I got:

1119: Access of possibly undefined property MOUSE_LEAVE through a reference with static type Class.

Ahh that is AIR specific for the stage I think, sorry

I just looked at some mouse up/down drag code I did a few months back. I have only a mouse over listener, then when rolling over I remove this and add the mouse out listener, and vice versa. Maybe you get several mouseEvents fired at the same time and something goes missing? When moving the mouse away from the button these events will all fire: MOUSE_OUT, MOUSE_MOVE and ROLL_OUT, maybe even MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP depending on what the user is doing and what the intention is with the button.

I'm not a fan of having listeners for things that can not happen in a particular state, like if you are not over a button, the mouse out event can not be fired so no need to have it hanging around.

Figured it out...

I removed the stop() that keeps the roll out from continuing into the roll in. Then changed the code:

//Button 1 Listeners and Functions
Btn1_hit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,Bu tton1Over);
Btn1_hit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,But ton1Out);
Btn1_hit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,Bu tton1Click);
Btn1_hit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,Butt on1Up);


//Mouse Over
function Button1Over(e:MouseEvent):void
{
Btn1.gotoAndPlay("1Over");
Btn1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,Stop1);

function Stop1(e:Event):void
{
if (Btn1.currentFrameLabel == "1Out")
{
Btn1.stop();
}
}
}

//Mouse Out
function Button1Out(e:MouseEvent):void
{
Btn1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,Play1);

function Play1(e:Event):void
{
if (Btn1.currentFrameLabel == "1Out")
{
Btn1.gotoAndPlay("1Out");
}
}
}

function Button1Click(e:MouseEvent):void
{
Btn1.gotoAndStop("1Click");
}

function Button1Up(e:MouseEvent):void
{
Btn1.gotoAndStop("1Out");
//link to scene
}
