How to create Mouse Over Effect.
To create a frame that will appear when the user moves the mouse over some item:
- Launch Flash Designer. Choose “Frame” > “Frame Size” to set movie dimensions (400 x 200).
- Choose “Text” tool and click on the frame. Type the text (for example “mouse over”) and click OK.
- Move the text to the top left edge.
- Choose “Frame” > “Frame Delay”. Check “Stop” and click OK. This will stop the movie at this frame.
- Choose “Frame” > “New” to add a blank frame.
- In the “Frame list” toolbox change the background to “Frame 1″. “Mouse over” text should appear on the new frame.
- Choose a rectangle tool and draw a rectangle on the frame. It will appear when you move the mouse over the text. You can change rectangle color by using “Item” > “Fill Color” command.
- Choose “Intro” > “Intro Animation”. Select “Fly” and click OK.
- Go back to the first frame (Frame 1). You can either select the frame from the “Frame list” toolbox or press “PgUp” key.
- Make sure “mouse over” is selected, if not choose “Select” tool and select it.
- Choose “Action” > “On Over”.
- Select “Go to Frame” and choose “Frame 2″. Click OK.
- Choose “Action” > “On Out”.
- Select “Go to Frame” and choose “Frame 1″. Click OK.
- Press F9 to preview the animation.
