Roll Over Animated Button

Useful for new swish users. A simple method and easy steps. The tutorial was posted before by Timdav, but unfortunately the link did not work anymore. I don't know what trick Timdav used because link did not work. Well here it is what we are going to make:

Start:

1. Make a shape, image or what type of button you want. Name it "rectangle".

2. Copy it and paste in the scene, and over the previous one.

3. Convert it into sprite and name it "effect"

4. Open the "effect" sprite and insert remove on 0 frame, and stop the sprite also on 0 frame. On the frame 1, insert "Blur"or any other effect you like, and at its last frame, means where the effect finishes insert "stop".(stop the sprite).

5. Now open the very first shape named (rectangle) which has no function, we made in step number 1.

- Open its "Actions"tab.
- Click on Add Event.
- Select "On (Roll Over)
------------ Tell Target "/effect"
------------ Goto Frame 1
(and stop)

6. Insert text in scene. Convert it into sprite and name it "text".

7. On the 0 frame "remove"it, and stop the sprite on 0 frame, then insert any effect you like on frame 1. Stop the sprite where the effect finishes. From the next frame, insert any other effect and on its ending frame, stop the sprite.

8. Now back to the first shape, "rectangle".

- Open its "Actions"tab.
- Click on Add Event.
- Select "On (Release)"
------------- Tell Target "/text"
--------------- Goto Frame 1
(and stop)

9. Same, operate the rectangle's "Actions"tab.

- Click on Add Event.
- Select "On (Roll Out)
------------ Tell Target "/text"
--------------- Goto Frame 11
(and stop)

Explanation:

Used Tell Target and the effects.

Simply directed the "rectangle"button to the sprites to play a specific frame.

Hope it helps the new swish users.
