Hi,
I've made a website in MX for my final university project, but I've got a problem. I have buttons moving all over one half of the stage, and I need to be able to rollover them and have an image appear on the other half of the stage, but I need it to stay in the same place, even though its button is moving around.
Please can someone help!
Cheers, Aussie01
you're in the wrong section buddy, but I may be able to help you out.
This isn't the actual best way to do it, but it's the way I would do it.
Ok, create the button, but instead of the over section having the part on the right side show up, just CTRL + X the right side how it is now so it's on your clipboard.
Ok, go back to the main movie area (make sure your out of the button editing section) and make a new layer, paste the bit you want and position it where you want it.
now turn it into a movie clip - simply click on insert>convert to symbol or press F8 ( i think).
now click on the movieclip once it's created, and where it says instance name, call it button1_rhs or something similar. now put this code into the action panel of the mc(movieclip):
now click on the button that is moving around and give that some actions:PHP Code:onClipEvent (load) {
setProperty(this, _visible, 0);
}
PHP Code:on (rollOver) {
setProperty(_root.button1_rhs , _visible, 1);
}
on (rollOut) {
setProperty(_root.button1_rhs , _visible, 0);
}
let me know if I confused you!
Yes, wrong forum. You can simplify bvgroote's code by changing the setproperty sets to "this._visible=false" or "this._visible=true". Unless that only works with movie clips, but I believe it works with all clips of any kind.
