Ok, so I have an invisible button with one instance with a name of "btn".
I have a movieclip with an instance name of "anim"

The goal of this is to make a certain frame play when I rollover onto the button. The invisible button is stacked directly ontop of the movieclip. However, If I mouseOn and mouseOff too fast, the script doesn't go into the second part. I just stalls at frame 5.

JASS:
btn.addEventListener(
  MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,
  function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    trace("I've been clicked!");
	anim.gotoAndPlay(2); 

  }
);

btn.addEventListener(
  MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,
  function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    trace("I've been abandoned!");
	anim.gotoAndPlay(10); 
  }
);


(Using AS3)
Someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong! :(
I've uploaded the file where I have all of this, and I will award +rep and major props to whoever can help me out.

btn.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace("I've been abandoned!");
anim.gotoAndPlay(10);
}
);

Can you add a similar (or the exact same) code to frame 5?

I tried to open it with Flash CS3, but I got the error: Unexpected File Format.

Are you using CS4?

I'm using CS4, but it should still open :\

Anyway, I figured it out. I had a stop action on frame 10, which caused it skip over the mouseOut animation.
Frames 1-10 were mouseOn and 10-20 were mouseOut.

+rep for attempts :D

Taking a look now, surely this should be in the Programming Forum?

EDIT:

Add this:

Code:
addEventListener(
  Event.ENTER_FRAME,
  function(e:Event):void {
	if (!btn.hitTestPoint(mouseX, mouseY, true) && anim.currentFrame == 5) {
		anim.gotoAndStop(1);
	}
  }
);

Disclaimer: I haven't actually learnt AS3 yet...

Also, if you're using CS4, you can save it as a CS3 document, you've probably saved it as the default CS4 document which is why UndeadDragon was unable to open it.

EDIT2: I skipped the part about you solving it, never mind! Hopefully this post was informative regardless D:

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
