a very easy question of rollover/out mc control

hi there!

i have to edit my question. i finally found 2 threads about this subject - and looks like the thing i thought would be really simple and easy is actually all but! shows how little i know, doesn't it. :rolleyes:

still - if anyone has come up with a solution, would you please let me know? here comes: i've managed to produce a dropdown menu. works ok. it's an mc that i control with on rollover/rollout/press commands.
question: what would be the AS line to tell the mc_menu to move to a certain frame in timeline if no mouse movements is detected on it, let's say, in 5 seconds?

i guess i can work my way around it... but is there actually a way to do this?

Lol i just made a drop down myself. I figured this.
I just name mine...
on (press) {
gotoandplay("rocks");
}

just be sure to lable the frame..
and in frame 1 i have stop(); So I have control of where it goes

yeah, thanks, but i got that all right :)
what i was trying to ask that if there's no mouse clicks on buttons or any movement at all over the mc menu for about 5 seconds, it would collapse, that is, go to a certain frame in time line.

that's a bit more tricky...

Hi
Here is one way.... :)
Check the FLA below...

code:

---

flag = false;

mc.onRollOver = function() {

	trace("over");

	flag = false;

	this.gotoAndPlay("over");

};

mc.onRollOut = function() {

	trace("back");

	flag = true;

	this.gotoAndPlay("back");

};

function myPlay() {

	clearInterval(myInterval);

	if (flag == true) {

		mc.gotoAndStop("yourFrameLabel");

	}

	// trigger the function after 5seconds

	myInterval = setInterval(myPlay, 5*1000);

}

myPlay();
