Create Simple Dynamic Rollovers with Actionscript 3.0

[Fatewithlove]

Hey, thanks so much for this tutorial ! It is specific and detailed ! It works ! :)

[procise1982]

great vid but border will not line up correctly with images. anyone found out the issue why?

[joeygart]

ActionScript 3.0 is really useful i think.

my movieclip becomes very twitchy (activating two tweens simultaneously) when I am at the corner of the movieclip. How do I fix this? thanks

[CrownPoidaa]

the event.target.x and y does not work, ive already checked everything and its spot on. Im using CS5 is that the problem? others seem to have the same problem as me as well.

[PeEG4]

Great tutorial! Thank You very much! I'm gonna watch more!

[MrList]

Can I turn the movie clips into buttons as well so that a full sized image will open when clicked?

Also, my imgBorder isn't connecting to my thumbnails. I wrote:

imgBorder.x = event.target.x;

imgBorder.y = event.target.y;

Just as it appears in the tutorial, however the border just kind of floats there in the middle of the project. This isn't the end of the world since I can make it invisible for the time being, however is there any other way to force it around the thumbnails?

event.target not working ?

[CJacuzzi]

I am getting error 1120:Access of undefined property event when I use the

var imgW:Tween = new Tween (event.target, "width", Strong.easeOut,250,275,1,true)­; var imgH:Tween = new Tween (event.target, "height", Strong.easeOut,120,132,1,true)­;

lines. Any clue why this might be?

[beasty313]

@CJacuzzi make sure your function is as so function is event not evt

[CJacuzzi]

Can someone kindly explain to me why we have to always use the import commands at the start of AS code?

[briddenattech]

@CJacuzzi It lets action script know that the key words like "Strong" will have a meaning, and to tell it to use it's deff.

From what I guess, the reason it does it is so that all the key words that could easily mess up a script are tucked anyway, or that the the flash doesn't take so long to load with all the possible keywords. anyone feel free to correct me.

[Thet3]

@briddenattech can a registrations point be changed?

How to create a hyperlink in the movie clips images

[asiakolov]

Hi I was wondering if someone can direct me to a website where i can learn to impliment a full website in Adobe suit. I am new to this but i have jave experience. Thank you in advance

[asiakolov]

ffff

[PaulBunkey]

the last line of code you wrote just didn't the job, mouseovered image don't get forgegrounded in this video.

[DreadsHuet]

Great Tutorial! One thing I couldn't figure out though, the last sentence og coding, just didn't work out for me... I'm using Fash CS5 Professional, any ideas how I could make it work? Thanks for making these videos, they are really helpful!

[jbotyanszki]

@DreadsHuet

try using images_mc.numChildren -1 instead

[xEllerochex]

AWESOME!!! I was trying this but they would tweak out and do weird things...and seeing as how I'm doing a professional portfolio, tweaks are not good. I'll have to experiment with this event.target thing, and the index stuff..... THANKS! your vids are great!

[JetCityTrading]

Genius, using a graphic line to create the frame, and positioning it to the x and y points of each image using event.target. I would have tried to create a separate library frame image and imported called it onto the stage, or some such nonsense.

Regarding the sizing tween: instead of hardcoding an image size, how about making it img.width*1.2 / img.height*1.2. This way you're expanding / tweening the image as a percentage. The frame graphic could maybe be drawn programatically as well? Thanks!

[machine1112]

My border doesn't wrap my image HELP ! PLEASE TUTORIAL IS GREAT !

[GeniusDealProduction]

Urgent/SERIOUS question... What happens when you click them? I want a tutorial where I can make a gallery just like yours in tutvid ( dot )com? When I click an Image it enlarges,... then click away... it gets back to its original size?

[809cgi]

Daaaaaaze!!!!!!

[skate14z]

i did this it worked fine untill i put in the code to resize the image or (event.target)

im using Flash CS5 professional. and it says an error and not even the rectangle will fade in

[Lightning741]

I made this more or less the same as how it was demonstrated only mine won't actually do any of what he has done; the border does not appear, the image doesn't tween. I included all the commands he implemented, including his corrections and advice, but still nothing...

What do I do?

[anilkral1903]

If this is for a website why not just use jQuery?

[EndreBjorgo]

i couldn't stick to it O_O

TO MANY NUMBAHS!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[kingshinigami1989]

ur variable-> var borderH is used for width and var borderW is used for height lol

im pretty sure u meant it the other way

calm down and dont talk so fast, less chances of making mistakes =P

[kingshinigami1989]

@kingshinigami1989 nvm u change it later in the vid =P

[Senapy]

lol...

this...this..this...this huge shape xD

[Shuubbie]

.. god damn xD.. i guess this wasn't the best thing to start with when you never used flash before :D

[kaunas163]

nice tutorial

[Benimation]

Nice! :D

Why do you use an H for width and a W for height?

I learned something new today :D

[tirathmistry]

I learn so much for your great tutorials

You are genus really

[ExoticSenta]

Use Flash CS5 u dont need to copy paste the code u can just make a code snippet

[KillerPringles]

really long tut, but i enjoyed it :P

[timabad]

does it really take a half hour to make a button....

[oldnew07]

Oh damn; hate it when I mix up the height and width; good thing you pick up on that (Y) :D

[MckMick]

TUTORIALS ARE TOO LONG!

[FUBAR200x]

@MckMick better this way

[calikex]

[OneCompHelp]

Nathan Have you tried CS5 yet?

[lukestratton1]

Great Tutorial!

[wodanamor]

Great Tutorial, as always :)

[iam2k8]

Flash is dead and jQuery can do this +more

No one uses flash on their website any more its all about JavaScript

[bilali34Ahmed]

nice!!

[DullahanVII]

Flash is dead

[StureLarsson]

@DullahanVII Flash is awesome!

[legice]

@StureLarsson and badass!

[Djghost1123]

@DullahanVII why is that? its still very much alive actually

[DullahanVII]

@Djghost1123 you're right, I will rephrase what I said. Flash is becoming increasingly irrelevant especially in web development. I'm not saying this because of the whole Steve Jobs hate towards Flash, but who wants Flash based websites anymore? The world is starting to move towards HTML5 quicker everyday. Of course flash is great for games and e-Learning applications.

[MagnusRawr]

@Djghost1123 iPads not supporting flash will make it less interesting to use and by time it will fade away and die. Maybe.

[wuddlknuddel]

@MagnusRawr RIDICULOUS!

[MagnusRawr]

@wuddlknuddel How so? I mean, flash is dying, it's getting outdated. It will stay here for a long time, but for the time being it's slow. Have you seen sites made from flash only? They're really slow and clumsy!

It's just my thoughts.

[wuddlknuddel]

@MagnusRawr hehe i totally agree with you on that point. but what u said sounded to me like: ipad doesn't support flash -> flash will die out. (i hate that ipad hype. and thats what my RIDICULOUS was pointing at.) and btw if flash is outdated (what it really is) then why hasn't apple still not managed to integrate it properly (i mean that had enough time...)? ;-D

[UnrealNate]

@wuddlknuddel Flash will not die out because silly iPhones dont want it.

[wuddlknuddel]

@UnrealNate yes thats what im saying

[Djghost1123]

@MagnusRawr not at all, its because steve jobs is being a little bitch and still keeping up his imaginar fight with adobe. They quit on apple products and now have moved onto things like the android.

[MagnusRawr]

@Djghost1123 True, true. The only reason for the iPad to not support flash though is so people will buy videos etc. from iTunes. As far as I know. I haven't really looked into it.

[iisdan]

@MagnusRawr flash is slow. 70% cpu with flash vs 16% cpu with html 5 and jquery

[Djghost1123]

@iisdan ur computer must be simply terrible omg...

[iisdan]

@Djghost1123 2.8ghz duo core, 4gb ddr3 memory, Nvidia Geforce 9600m GT... I wasnt testing with this tut. i was testing with something more high powered to see the differences between flash and other shizzach

[Djghost1123]

@iisdan not too bad...but what could you possibly test with flash that will take up that much memory?

[iisdan]

@Djghost1123 1080p video and stuff

[Djghost1123]

@iisdan still...for your specs it shouldnt take up much even though you only have 2.8ghz

[Ident1ty08]

is there anyway to make it more suitable for websites with regular picture updates

[itsonlydesign]

love your vids dude!
