Cancel effect on mouseEvent?

I use FlashEff2 on ROLL_OVER and I'd like to cancel the effect on ROLL_OUT (if it's running).

How do I check if the effect is currently running and how do I 'cancel' it?

Or some work around for this to be possible.

Forgot to "Follow Topic" ...

If you want to cancel an effect when roll_out dispatches, you just need to call removeEffect method on flasheff.
eg flasheffInstance.removeEffect()

This has NO effect whatsoever. Anything else I can try?

My problem is that the text I'm animating with the effect stays on screen if I roll out before the effect has finished animating. So I somehow have to cancel/delete/remove/interrupt the effect. But no matter whether I set the visible property of the effect or the original textfield nothing happens.

I start the effect on ROLL_OVER and want to cancel it on ROLL_OUT. Can this be done?

And funny enough I can't find anything on the removeEffect() in the documentation or online. So I suspect it's a wild guess, right?

In case this matters: I'm having a strip of thumbnails, and it's when going from one to another quickly, the problem arise. That is; each instance of the thumbnail runs a ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT handler. Can they somehow conflict because the thumbnails have 0 pixels of space between them?

Can someone show me a simple example of how to start an effect on roll over and remove it on roll out?

I'm not using any hide effect/transition in my case. Can this be the bugger? And if, then how do I implement it?

I'm getting pretty desperate here. Anyone?

I've even been through ALL parameters and properties in a trial/error way. And none has the effect of removing the damn thing. Arrrgh.

Man this sucks. I've been fighting this for days now. Money back garanty?

And I tried spacing the thumbnails to see if it made any change. Nope, still can't get rid of the damn effect on ROLL_OUT. This HAS to be a BUG!

I can't even remove the effect object using removeChild(). Now, what the hell is going on here?

Did you try this:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;


fe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rollOverHandler)
function rollOverHandler(ev:MouseEvent):void{
fe.show()
}
fe.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, rollOutHandler)
function rollOutHandler(ev:MouseEvent):void{
fe.removeEffect()
fe.target.visible=true
}
*fe- is the instance name of the flasheff component on the stage.

If you still can't manage to do this, just open a ticket and send us the source files, and we will take a look at your problem.

That simply throws me an error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at com.case::CaseThumb/rollOut()

I can trace _effect.target. It gives me [object TextField].

But when I trace _effect.target.visible I get the error above.

AAAAAARGH!!!!

I CAN NOT CREATE A TICKET!?????

AND I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO EVER!!!

It keep giving me the error:

Unable to create a ticket. Please correct errors below and try again!

AND I HAVE FILLED OUT ALL FIELDS!?!??!? Freakin' frustrating!!!

Give me SOME way to send you a zip with code to look at.

And I'm sure you have issues with your database routines; this is what get pasted into the field when I continuously resend the form:

It seems I can\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t remove the effect on roll_out. I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ve started a thread in the forum \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Cancel effect on mouseEvent?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ve revamped the code to make a usable example that I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ve attached.

It\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s as if the effect randomly stays on on a roll_over (after a roll_out).

What can I do to make SURE that the effect is gone on a roll_out, so that I can apply it again on roll_over?

A LOT OF BACKSLASHES!!!

I'll try to send the form without the single quotes ...

No luck. Makes absolutely NO difference. Is it just to keep paying customers from contacting you?

From what I saw you managed to send the files and write us a ticket.

Anyway regarding your problem, you forgot to remove/kill the tweenLite tween on rollout, and that's why you example didn't work fine.
