Simple button question

[Frankstolpe]

Hi

What is the code for letting a button rotate for 180 degrees on mouseover?
I dont want to work with motion tweens.

Thanks in advance

depending on whether you want a tween effect or just jump straight to the 180 degrees, you can do two things. i reckon you want to do the first option so you want to slap this on the button:
on(rollOver){
if(this._rotation<=180){
this._rotation++;
}
}

and if you want to reset it after, then
on(rollOut){
this._rotation = 0;
}

hope this helps

try this actionscript in the buttons actions. Also name the button's instance button.

on (rollOver) {
setProperty("button", _rotation, _root.button._rotation +180);
}
on (rollOut) {
setProperty("button", _rotation, _root.button._rotation +180);
}

Howdy, please try:

///////////on rollover and rollout/////////////

on (rollOver) {
this._rotation =90;
}
on (rollOut) {
this._rotation = 0;
}

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////

1. BTW, in the future, to de-bug such a thing and of course to make it work the way I think you want it to, a rotation of +/- 180 will give *EXACTLY* the same effect as *ZERO* rotation. Your button graphic is symmetrical in that way.

2. Just so you know, I reset your button to an MC as opposed to a "button" under properties. "this" refers to your button and is what finally made the script perform to your spec. I am a major newb to a.s. so I don't know if this makes difference or not!

See ya and Hap Hol,

Hehe, this effect *does not work* if your object is a "button" as opposed to "mc".
