could someone have a peek at this in safari:
http://www.nicholasdeakin.com/fl…why is the pointer going nuts over certain links/buttons? and not others.
works fine in firefox/ie
any help would be much appreciated, it's truly vexing one's head!

i know you didnt ask for this, so its just a quick ques, but why did you make that in Flash?
- chossy0
has it got something to do with slecetable text or render text as html?.
- Timson0
do all your dynamic textfields have the characters embedded?

i cant see it but that normally happens when the button/mc contains only text so the hit area is only the pixels covered by the text. a blank mc at the top of the button/MC will fix it.
hope that helps

it's strange undo cause it doesn't try to turn into a hand or anything. It goes from pointer to text tool rapidly and constantly.

yeah i initally thought it was the text thing Undo.
but the 'prev' and 'next buttons in the sketchbook below are identical and they only filcker mouse down!?

are you sure you haven't got a button that you've turned into a movieclip or something... and it is looping through a frame that has a selectable text field in it?
- de4k0
yep sure

de4k you didn't stare at it too hard and end up zapping it with your x men style lazer eye did you? he he remember that time you looked at that puppy too long then poof a quick plume of smoke and bam the dogs baked crispy crunch style.

it just seems like it would be easier/cleaner to use html. there is no use for flash in this site... my 2 pennies

aight, listen guys and girls the same thing happened to me on something I am trying to do, except you seem to have fixed yours since your posting this thread.
Basically my pointer turns from hand to arrow rapidly when I first roll over my movie, then when I move it a pixel or click, it stops spazzing out........
de4k can you tell ees what you did to fix it home slicer :D

nah she's no the one skt, I can't get to it right now unfortunatly :( but basically it's a movie and when you roll over it, it plays the next frame and roll out it does prev frame, it's all solid colr aswell no text, imagine you are rolling over a simple square of color and when you are in the center of it the mouse spazzes out like spazzy magee :(

any selectable text box there?
as that can do it
- chossy0
no text atall matey :( sorry for not having the file at hand.
should I instead of having the actuall movie as the roll over trigger perhaps make a seperate movie clip low opacity over it and then use that for the roll over function?
so hitare_mc on rollover instead of the actual movie I want to play to be the roll over?. did that make sense?
Thanks for the help guys.
