Question

I am facing this problem since 5 months now, so I’m asking here on SO.

I’ve implemented a simple flash button.

• The button displays an animation on mouse-over.
• When the button is clicked, it calls an external JS library of mine. The libray
  displays a popup, or sometimes a javascript alert.

Now, the problem is that when the button is clicked (and the popup/alert is displayed), the button gets stuck at the last frame of the animation, and it never goes back to the first frame.

I’ve tried with many combinations:

• I coded the button with AS3 listeners (putting a mouseout listener).
• I used the standard flash button.

Nothing, it always gets stuck, as if the flash component can’t detect the mouse movement after the opening of the popup.

You can check the behaviour I’m talking about just following this link and clicking on any of the animated button (the top-left recycle bin button, for example).

Any help appreciated!

Answer 1

why not fire the mouseout event manually before calling the popup? alternatively try to reset the animation when calling the popup.

$('#recycle_bin').click(function(){
$(this).mouseout();
call popup;
});

would be a jQuery raw code i would try.
