**VERY URGENT** Rollover

Just another thing you need to make the movie a little wider on the left cause there is a little gap where you get that bug even with muso's code.  I don't want any points I just noticed that and though I should comment.

Thanks fixitben, I should have noticed that myself!

mtb007, you can change 252 to 260 - I'm pretty sure this fixes it properly!

muso

You better change your Stage size 766 x 496 ... and Adjust the contents accordingly...

Thanks for the speedy resonse.  This is great.  But where did you get the 260 from?  If I change the size of my stage and move the MC, I cant use 260, right?  How do I find the correct number?

Thanks

I ran a trace...

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    trace(_root._xmouse);
     if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true) && (_root._xmouse>=252)) {
          this.nextFrame();
     } else {
          this.prevFrame();
     }
}

Muso.

Are you still Around?  I have a question about this.

Thanks

Listening...

So, what's your question?!

Sorry,

I posted the file again.  My problem is that I cant get my button rollovers to work the way that I need them to.  If you look at the file, you will see the layout and how it should work.  When it first loads, the navigation should slide out from the left and stop.  When a button is clicked it should slide back how it does, and then slide out when rolled over... like it does.  But I just cant get it to slide out and then stop.

If you need more of an explination, just let me know.

Thanks Again.

Your link is throwing up a File Not Found error!

Try it now.  The main one is "Test.FLA"

> When it first loads, the navigation should slide out from the left and stop

So, to clarify:

Do you want it to reveal itself and stop when the clip first loads,  and then when the user has either clicked a button, or rolled on then off the navigation bar, you then want the navigation bar to function as it is at the moment?

When the nav bar first slides out, I need it to stay out, until a button is clicked.  And then it will slide out.  From that stage on, it will only slide out when the user rolls onto it.  

It has to stay out for the initial part to show the users the navigation.

You just need to set a flag - like firstView = true;

Then on the on(release) of the button, set it to false.

You can then relatively simply alter the rollover code to something like:

if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true) && (_root._xmouse>=0) && (firstView==false)) {

Im not that advanced in Actionscript.  Can you help?

Ok, if you can wait a while I'll sort something out later this evening, when I get back home.

sure, thanks soooo much!

Damn, where does the time go!

If you can be patient I promise to post something tomorrow night!

Ok, thats fine.
Thanks Again.

sorry for the delay.  here's a link to the file...

One hint, is you can get some really nice transition effects (like the slide out), and a more organic feel
by using actionscript to do the slide in/out, rather than a transition over frames.  The file would be slightly
smaller too.

If you are feeling brave, it's worth a look (Robert Penner created some transitional algorithms that I would
swear by!):

The link above doesn't seem to work by clicking on it (lowercase Q!) - but copy the url, and paste it into a new browser window that works fine.

Let me know when you have it too, and that it works, so I can clear up the space again!

muso

I don't think you posted the right file Muso all this one has in it is a bunch of boxes and a stop();  

Also I am going to post another question directed towards you cause I want to know how to implement one of the elasitic functions that you posted above.  By Robert Penner.  That is Pretty cool.  But I don't know how to use it. so I am going to post a question asking how to use those.  

Thanks

Hi fixitben,

Oops, sorry about the file, here's the proper one (same link adjustment applies as above)...

muso

mtb007,

did the new updated file work for you?

muso

It work perfectly.  I saw some of the new code, but what exactly did you guys do?

Fixitben & Muso, Thanks!

No problem mtb007!

> I saw some of the new code, but what exactly did you guys do?

Are you talking about the implementation of Robert Penner easing_equations? Nothing else as yet has been changed to your file, and you would certainly be notified if it has, but the code could be used to implement your roll-over in a slightly different way - depends what you want really!

muso

Yeah i saw the easing examples that he did, they're nice.
Ok, cool.  I really appreciate it.  Thanks guys!

I posted another question, that you guys can probably figure out very quickly.  it's worth 300 pts.

Thanks.

... it's now worth 500 pts...
