Hi all,
i have just purchased
http://www.newcomponents.net/index2.php?open2=d1e2&pressed1=1&pressed2=e2&spos=1 0&.
What I want to use it for: I have a page with several buttons running down the
left menu. when the user scrolls over these buttons, an object in the middle of
the page shade fade to a new colour (and back to the original colour on
mouseout).
i'm having trouble getting this extension to work at all - i've never used a
flash extension before but this one doesn't seem to have any help files, and
the instrucrtions on the buy page are minimal.
it says, to start the extension i must put:
myButton.onRollOver = function(){
componentInstance.rollOverFunction();
}
myButton.onRollOut = function(){
componentInstance.rollOutFunction();
}
must that go on the first frame of the movie? my knowloedge of actionscript is
a bit poor, but i'm assuming "myButton" is the button instance i want to
trigger the colour fade.
if anyone is able to make sense of this i'd love some insight/help. my two
questions are: judging by the instructions, can it be used by multiple buttons
to manipulate the same object, and how does one use it!
here is the fla and swf where i have tried to use it (with just one button for
now):

http://www.newcomponents.net/index2.php?open2=d1e2&pressed1=1&pressed2=e2&spos=1 0&
i have sent an email to the site that sold the extension, but since it says
the chap isn't great at english i thought i'd ask here.
cheers,
ray
