Question

Animate CC button rollover pop up event

Hi;

 

I have three buttons in Anumate CC. I want each to display a different block of text. Is it best to use Javascript or HTML5? Is an event listener the primary means to do this?

 

Thanks

    Hi Joseph,

    You won't use HTML5 to do this; you'll use Javascript.  Put a dynamic text object on the stage, named myTextObject1.  Have your button object named button1.  This code should work:

    var root = this;
this.button1.addEventListener("click", button1Function);
function button1Function() {
	root.textObject1.text = "hello";
}

    Hi;

    Thanks for the response. I'm rather new to Animate. Where / how do I insert this code?

    Timeline, select the frame, and hit F9 key.  That's one of the basics of using Adobe Animate -- the beginner tutorials that Adobe offers for learning the interface are essential before you do anything else.
