Noobie Question: Rollover

I know how to use Flash but I never used Actionsript before. I bought some training DVDs on Actionscript.

I have a problem with the mouse rollover. I can't really post any .fla files now before I'm in the middle of something but I made a box that I want to expand when I Rollover it.

The problem is that when I rollover the box it stops expanding. Like it stops after one step or interval. I want it to keep expanding until Rolloff.

look into onEnterFrame() or the new tween class

do you have any stop actions or anything, and have you tried using frame labels?

Hey,

I did it a little differently, not sure this is how you would want it done... But its how I do most of my rollover and rollout functions

thanks yours works but I don't understand why it has to be so complex. I just was a rollover.

hanks could explain what you did, again I'm a beginner, thanks again

Your asking how it works?

Well I created a shape, turned it into a Movie clip. If you duble click on that and enter its time frame youll see that there are THREE main parts to this. There is a Frame label layer, actions and finally the animation.

On each actions layer on the main keyframes i put a stop(); to control the movie once it got there. Im using the frame labels to tell the playhead to jump to a certain play postion. If you go back to the main timeline and click on the actions layers. You will see that the onRollOver and onRollOuts are going to the play head frames.
