I’m currently working on my portfolio website, and I decided to use a fisheye menu on the galleries, as a way to display the images’ thumbnails.
I found your AS2 version of the fisheye menu I had found before, but in AS3 (which is completely out of my league). I made a few changes just to make icons a bit smaller and closer, and to place it on the left of the movieclip.

But then I ran into 2 problems.

1- How do I make it so the mouse movement only affects the thumbnails (making the fisheye effect) when the mouse is over it?
I was trying to make a condition to say that it will only work when the “xmouse” is over 440 – so it’s in the area where the fisheye menu is placed (my movieclip dimensions are 560 x 450 px), but I can’t get the code right!

2- I’m trying to make the thumbnails into buttons. So I got them to the stage, opened them, and turned the bitmaps inside the movieclips into buttons.
I got the “down” stage to work, replacing the image I use as “normal” with another that I created to be that “down” stage, and it works. It recognizes the button and it’s “down” stage when I press it, but now I’m trying to make the buttons to work “onPress”, using labels (a simple flash gallery).
I used the simple code:

stop();
b1.onPress = function (){
gotoAndStop(“photo1″);
};
b2.onPress = function (){
gotoAndStop(“photo2″);
};
b3.onPress = function (){
gotoAndStop(“photo3″);
};
b4.onPress = function (){
gotoAndStop(“photo4″);
};

But it doesn’t work! It wont go to the other labels.
Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?!

Stay cool!
Peace ;p
