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:

    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
