    Default rollovers

    hello. i am using director 8.5 and i was woundering if there is any way that
    you can place rollovers in certain areas.

    for example, i am creating a menu, now when the user scrolls over the button
    i want some text to appear on the other side of the screen? Hope some one
    can help me out on this, really important.

    Thanks

    Hi Alex,

    Look at the disjointed rollover behavior in the Library.

    a quick example.

    put your button in channel 1, the text box that will appear in channel 2.

    Set the text in channel 2 to be off the visible screen area and add this
    code to the button:

    on mouseOver
    set the locH of sprite 2 = 400
    set the locV of sprite 2 = 400
    end

    on mouseOut
    set the locV of sprite 2 = - 500
    end

    Really quick and simple, and there are better ways of doing it, but it works
    as a quick fix if you need it fast....

    Default rollovers

    Hey, this is really causing me problems....
    How do i create a rollover....
    simple as but with say 2 areas that are both visible but when u rollover one
    of them something becomes visible, and something different becomes visible
    for the other area. But both invisible rollover areas are always invisible
    unless u rollover the corisponding area. And.... how do i add more rollover
    areas if needed
    (i am creating a cdrom for uni, it is a floormap and when u rollover a
    certain shop, the name of the venue is displayed)
    Nicola
    THANK YOU in advance!!!

    Take a look at the behavior Library. There's one in there for
    disjointed rollovers. That should be what you want to use.

    You can either move a sprite on/off stage one rollover OR you can turn a
    channel visibility on/off (caution to this option as Everything in that
    channel will be invisible if turned off).

    you drag it to the sprite which will trigger the rollover (i.e. the
    one you want to mouse over) it should then prompt you forwhich sprite
    you'd like to change, which member you'd like to change ot to and so
    on.

    Hey Nicola,

    I'm not really clear on what you need but from what I do understand I
    could tell you to try the following:

    Suppose you have a button in sprite 1 which is visible. When you
    rollover that button, you want a graphic and sprite 2 and another one in
    sprite 3 (which can be anywhere on the screen) to become visible (right
    now they should be invisible).

    Create this script(behavior) and attach it to your button in sprite 1:

    on mouseenter
    set the visible of sprite 2 to TRUE
    set the visible of sprite 3 to TRUE
    end

    on mouseleave
    set the visible of sprite 2 to FALSE
    set the visible of sprite 3 to FALSE
    end

    In order to get your sprites 2 and 3 invisible in the first place,
    create a Movie Script like this:

    on preparemovie
    set the visible of sprite 2 to FALSE
    set the visible of sprite 3 to FALSE
    end

    Remember Movie Scripts are not attached to sprites like Behaviors so you
    don't have to woory about attaching it, just see that you are choosing
    Movie Script in the Property Inspector.

    Hope it helps.
