Swish/Flash question... (Answered)

[aphex]

Is it possible to make an text item not only have a rollover action, but also one when you click?

I seem to be having trouble getting both to function. One at a time works, but not both.

Create a movie clip (MC) starting out with the look of it when it's mouseover'd. Do what you like with the rest of the frames in that MC as your animation. Then throw the MC in the HIT frame of your button. Basically you're emulating it again, but there's a whole MC behind the HIT and not just a simple effect like your mouseover.

Don't forget to put a stop() action in the MC though. Flash is very time-consuming isn't it? Even with Swish, you'll have to putz around with placement after importing it (if you're importing into Flash at all).

I'm not sure how to do it in Swish. In Flash it's easy. Sorry I couldn't help. Good luck!

Whoops sorry I misread a bit. I have only used Swish for quickie text effects and import it into Flash for more complex stuff. I've never actually used Swish to "do it all" like you're trying. Either way, I think Flash gives you more flexibility. Try my method above - it's easy.

Well i kinda figured out another way to do it.

I just converted the text into a button. Made my life a HELL of alot easier.
