Navbar visible on mouse event

[brown22]

Hi everybody,

Is it possible to make a navigation bar appear at the bottom screen of a flash movie only when the user moves the mouse. And also make it disappear after 5 seconds if the mouse doesn't move.

Use the timer class for this.


import com.greensock.*;

nav.alpha = 0;

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, showNav);
var timer:Timer = new Timer(5000, 1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, hideNav);

function showNav(e:MouseEvent):void
{
timer.start();
TweenLite.to(nav, 1, {alpha:1, onStart:stopListener});
}

function hideNav(e:TimerEvent):void
{
timer.stop();
TweenLite.to(nav, 1, {alpha:0, onComplete:startListener});
}

function startListener():void
{
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, showNav);
}

function stopListener():void
{
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, showNav);
}

Thanks,

I'll give it a try and see if it works...
