ActionScript Help


Question

Okay, I've spent at least 3 days experimenting, searching, yelling and whatever else in an attempt to make this work and no matter how close I think I am to getting there, it's always one more problem to stuff it up.

What I hope to achieve is this:

A simple menu, just plain text, 7 lines (Home, About Us, Products, etc) in a vertical list. When the user puts their mouse over each menu item, it should 'grow' to roughly 150% of it's current size. And I would like it to grow, not just suddenly double in size, then on mouseoff, shrink in size.

I know how to do this by making a motion tween and transforming the size, etc... but I don't want to have to do this seven times over. Surely there is Action Script that could easily do this for me.

I have looked at flashikit, ultrashock and search google for help, but I've failed miserably. I did start off playing around with a script from http://www.ultrashock.com/ff.htm?http://ww...tailed/165.html which sort of had the desired effect I was after (onMouseOver object grows, onMouseOff object shrinks). I managed to to remove the random 'shaking' and get the text to show up in the right spot, but I failed to make the text itself be the link (I don't want that shape there, just text, in a locked position). I have sinced found out, that no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to make that work at all, so what I'm asking now is:

What ActionScript is there that I could use on a button, so onMouseOver, it smoothly grows to 150% in size, then onMouseOff, it smoothly shrinks back to 100% size? I've spent ages looking and I'm asking for help as a last resort, but I've got NFI how to achieve this.

any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

    • Both a game adaptation and it's on Amazon I'll set my hopes low
    • You shut your mouth you young fart, that was just a few years ago, lol.
    • Good effort, but unfortunately not very useful in the real world, since it doesn't support UEFI - which is a major drawback. More than that, most PCs these days have Secure Boot enabled by default, so unless you're tech savvy, the average joe is not going to disable Secure Boot - which means automated Windows > Linux migration programs like this will not work. And if you're tech savvy enough to know how to disable Secure Boot, then you're tech savvy enough to just flash a USB drive and install Linux the usual way - after all, the actual installation process is just point-and-click. So I don't see a use case here to be honest, especially considering the lack of UEFI support - especially when you consider that more and more Linux distros are completely dropping BIOS support (eg Fedora dropped it back in 2022). So this program is a bit too late to the party.
    • I agree with open rights group that the age check companies should be regulated but action does need to be taken imo, they may be called irresponsible parents but the fact is that many don't know how to set up blocks. Why should kids suffer because their parents don't know something? I think the UK has always been a bit like this. We don't say healthcare is your responsibility, we tax everyone and make people register with the NHS. We also don't expect everyone to brush their teeth to maintain dental health, we just put fluoride in their water assuming people aren't brushing enough, because some probably aren't or aren't doing it properly. In general, this way of doing things works.
