rollover with no link and no pointer?


rollover with no link and no pointer? Libbi Bosworth
7/30/2004 10:06:36 PM
flash (macromedia):
I have a client that would like this:

when mouseover on on a bit of text, the text changes colors, but it does not
go anywhere. also, the client would like the pointer to stay at the default
arrow, not turn to the hand indicating a link.

Is there a way to do this? I cannot figure out how to accomplish this in
HTML/CSS so I am trying here.

Thanks.

and apply it to that?

i tried exaclty that syntex attached the off state of the button/symbol as
well as:

on (rollOver) {
.useHandcursor = false

}

i get the following errors

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 2: Unexpected '.'
encountered
.useHandcursor = false

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 4: Unexpected '}'

You said something about CSS , CSS in flash can only be done for Dynamic text.
Text that comes to the movie during run time in form of variables.
Not hand typed text on stage.
Text on stage will need to bo converted to button or movie clip with button events,
than using the .useHandCursor; property you can turn if off for this particular instance.

use hitTest to detect if the mouse pointer is over the textfield; then issue
a this.useHandcursor = false to hide the finger-pointer.

you must give the button or movie clip instance name ,define the name in path of the
useHandCursor.
Syntax can not start from DOT.
It would be very easy if you just key in the search in HELP files the "useHandcursor"
It has sample of usage and full description so we don't have to type it for you.
