loosing button function on loaded movieClip!!!

Hey ned,

thanks for the input, yeah now I have the rollOut problem when rolling over the loaded btn. Do you mean that the loaded btn should control the parent mask? Would this override the parent function? or am I misunderstanding.

I'll play around again.

Thanks alot Ned, its been great having another input on this. Working solo is hard sometimes...

Cheer,

I'm not talking about being behind the movieclip. I'm talking about within the movieclip, but on a layer that would be below whatever layer into which you would load the remaining content.

In any case, you'd also need any contained mouseable elements to share some control of the mask to prevent a rollover onto them from triggering a rollout event for the mask--much the same as a drop down menu scenario.

Hi Ned,

I just put up a tester for you to see where I'm trying to get to...

Please be patient, theres no loaders... its really bare bones. Its just the top right square that loads anything at the moment.

here's a snippet of code... its a mask I'm tweening///

function roll() {
TweenLite.to(this.mask01, 1, {_xscale:96, _yscale:96});
this._alpha =100;
}
squares_mc.im1.onRollOver = roll;
squares_mc.im1.onRelease = function() {
TweenLite.to(squares_mc.im1.mask01, 2, {_x:208, _y:158,_xscale:205, _yscale:206});
this._alpha =100;
d += 2;
squares_mc.im1.swapDepths(d);
loadMovie("domRep.swf", "squares_mc.im1.content");

}
squares_mc.im1.onRollOut = function() {
TweenLite.to(squares_mc.im1.mask01, 1, {_x:0, _y:0, _xscale:100, _yscale:100});
TweenLite.to(squares_mc.im1, 2, {_alpha:50});
}

I hope this makes it clearer for you. If I use an invis mc behind the movie clip it wont recognise a rollOver function! But I know what you mean. BTW appreciate you inpiut... really !!
Thanks
Martin

HI Ned,

thanks for the reply. I really thought I was missing something.

I have a movieClip that takes up a quarter of the stage (Actually there 4... each quarter) onRelease it covers the full stage, I want the content to load within, but it needs btns.

In the first movieClip I am tweening a mask as there is an image as background and when this is closed I want it to mask the content.

But it seems I will have to rethink how to do this... but I'm blank at the moment.

If the movieclip has mouse-related code, it will block anything inside it. What are you trying to accomplish? There may be another approach.
