Utah Web Design Blog

The final release of the day that is pretty cool, considering they deal with large metal structures, is our steel fabrication contractor clients — S & S Steel Fabrication. This is a triumph of inventive Flash and graphic design. Very beautifully designed both on the front and back end. The site feel is macho and tough like kick to the eye with a steel toe boot. And yes they really did work with NASA and helped construct the Universal Studios Terminator II ride, and that is awesome.

The portfolio page they have is quite a wower, with a nice automatic photo slide show of some of the steel structures and projects. Anyways I can go on and on, but after all is said and done, I think that this site will help raise their stock in the steel community. Our creative Utah Graphic designers at Red Olive are implementing their ever honed skills in design, whether its a Flash element or behind the scenes. And we have our contacts at S & S to thank for their business — enjoy the new site.

Congratulations to Clark Outdoor Products for getting chosen as the webpick of the day.  We’re proud to have had the fortunate opportunity to do work for Clark Jungle Hammocks. They’ve been a great client that has given us a lot of trust and creative freedom.

Alright to kick this off I will warn you; I’m a terrible writer. That being said let me get down to what this post is really about, the AS3 MOUSE_LEAVE event. Generally the syntax to add and use an event would be as follows:

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_LEAVE, someFunction);

function(event:MouseEvent):void
{
trace(“Your mom goes to college”);
}

Because MOUSE_LEAVE is an event using the mouse it would then belong to the flash.events.MouseEvent. That is also stated in the AS3 Documentation. This is incorrect, however, there is a simple fix – call the event from the class it is actually in… Not what it should be in. You would do it like so:

stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, someFunction);

function(event:Event):void
{
trace(“Your mom goes to college”);
}

Notice the removal of “Mouse”. Interestingly enough when testing your SWF Flash Environment it won’t work. Don’t fret it will work beautifully when actually opened in the Adobe Flash Player.
