RE: [Flashcoders] Detecting Rollover w/o onRollOver
Another post which has the cancelRollover is the best one to use imho. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Danny Kodicek Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 5:54 AM To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Detecting Rollover w/o onRollOver It seems like in many of the projects I'm doing I need to have simultaneous onRollOver events.

Keep a list of all the instances you're testing, in z-order. Use onRollOver to activate each one; then while it's active, send messages to all the ones beneath it to check if they should be active too.

RE: [Flashcoders] Detecting Rollover w/o onRollOver
Another post which has the cancelRollover is the best one to use imho. That works in one direction (rollOver on the lower button being lost when rolling onto the upper one) but fails on the other (rollOver on the upper button disabling rollOver on the lower one). You have to have some means of passing the event through to the hidden button.

RE: [Flashcoders] Detecting Rollover w/o onRollOver
You could be right. I'm not sure what the original post mean't I was assuming that they were incorporating some sort of drop down menu not a movieclip under movieclip type of situation. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Danny Kodicek Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2007 1:23 AM To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Detecting Rollover w/o onRollOver Another post which has the cancelRollover is the best one to use imho.

Re: [Flashcoders] Detecting Rollover w/o onRollOver
One solution I've used in the past was to use collapse() and cancelCollapse() methods. The parent rollover would use setInterval() to call collapse() on a delay of a few milliseconds giving the child onRollOver events the ability to be handled first. The child buttons would call cancelCollapse() on roll over which was basically a clearInterval() call. If cancelCollapse() wasn't called by a button then collapse() would eventually be called by setInterval().

Re: [Flashcoders] Detecting Rollover w/o onRollOver
I usually delete the rollOver handler while I'm over it, detecting the rollOut event through hitTest instead of onRollOut... its something like this: myFunction clip.onRollOver delete clip.onRollOver clip.onMouseMove if(!clip.hitTest(_xmouse,_ymouse)) delete clip.onMouseMove myFunction //redeclare onRollOver Holth, Daniel C. escribió: It seems like in many of the projects I'm doing I need to have simultaneous onRollOver events.

RE: [Flashcoders] Detecting Rollover w/o onRollOver
You can use hitTest, you can use mouse position, or you can set an
interval to fire a function in 10 ms when you rollout that checks to see
if a flag is true that the other button will set true onRollOver.
function checkFlag() {
clearInterval(checkInterval);
delete checkInterval;
if (btn2Flag) {
btn2Flag = false;
btn1.gotoAndStop(out);
}
}
btn1.onRollOut = function() {
checkInterval = setInterval(checkFlag, 10);
};
btn2.onRollOver = function() {
btn2Flag = true;
};
