  • ISSUE SOLVED.

    BlackHornet - I guess those 4000 posts you have has taught you a lot along the way - You were EXACTLY right on! I am not sure what Chrome extension was creating the conflict - I had four, but dumped them all (Pinterest, Google Docs Offline, a screen-sharing extension, and one other) and now everything works fine.

    So anyone having similar issues - it appears to be conflicts with some Chrome browser extension. All is fine now. Thank you BH!

  • Good advice - I will do and post my findings... Thank You - dM

  • Thank you TASER - but I think I have figured out the issue (but I don't have a solution - I was hoping this was a beginner's ignorance, since I am new)...

    I actually figured out there seems to be a real estate (viewport-area) issue - ONLY in the bottom and the right side do they NOT work... See this explanation and re-recorded finding I did on YT showing me moving them around the viewport... So I think the code is fine simply because I have done so many different variations - THEY all work EXCEPT in the bottom and right side (scratch head)?

    And I've overlapped sprites, only on the right side (and very bottom) is there an issue. Does construct have any kind of "live" area or is the viewport and all real estate suppose to be live, which is what I assume.

  • I have been working on some simple buttons and was even given a great demo file from a fellow forum member (kriand). His version worked great, but when I appropriated his same code it doesn't work on my computer. I actually emailed him the file and it works for him? The file is here below:

    ovadeus.com/construct/button_wackiness.cp3.zip

    I also did a screen recording to show exactly what is happening. Can anyone provide insight to what I could be doing wrong or is this a bug? I am "relatively" new to construct. The ONLY difference between his file and mine, that I know of is that I imported transp PNGs as my sprites.

    Here is the screen recording of the buttons not working:

    youtube.com/watch

    (BTW the screen recording shows only OVER states, but I mention CLICK states also - the screen version is actually OVER only FYI)

    I am using:

    iMac/OS High Sierra 10.13.6

    Chrome Version 68.0.3440.84 (Official Build) (64-bit)

    Construct r111 stable

    Hopefully someone will see a neophyte common problem.

    Thanks for the feedback. Nothing basically means the buttons are not responding. No mouse over or mouse clicks are working. They simply don’t respond. I am really starting to believe there is a bug in my configuration because I updated my Mac OS, the latest version of Chrome and the latest version on C3. Before I did this, things seemed to work smoothly... Now its hit or miss with buttons and response (some previews and some simply don’t respond)? Not sure but I’ll keep testing - and if it continues will do a screen recording and maybe post in bugs for review...

    Follow-up... I am really starting to think I have a bug. I tried your code, duped it and everything was perfect... woke up this morning and tested -- nothing? Can you look at the appropriation that I did here and see where I am going wrong? Of course your version still works.

    This is beautiful and efficient and should be earmarked for all beginners on how to make simple interactive buttons. Excellent.

    Yes - I actually started a new post here:

    construct.net/forum/construct-3/how-do-i-8/any-updates-on-mouse-over-out-136750

    I found a variety of solutions but still all have issues? Take a look at that and let me know your thoughts.

    BTW - I tried the same thing using TOUCH (instead of mouse) and previewed on iPad and it works perfectly. (Also - for the record, I restarted browsers, restarted computer, the usual troubleshooting, yada yada :-) )

    Okay - Ive searched EVERYWHERE for the simplest and most efficient way to make a VERY SIMPLE AND FUNDAMENTAL over/leave/click button in Construct and when I finally found this (Mouse event "Mouse over/out" Next Reply Post, but it is 2008 days old) - I was so excited because. I did exactly as the instructions said AND IT WORKED!!!

    BUT when I got up this morning and reloaded my app, then tested... N O T H I N G ??? Can anyone provide insight into this? This has been happening the last several days. I get a button working (using a myriad of methods (over/invert over and click), then suddenly during a subsequent preview - they no longer work? They just sit there in there default state with no interaction? I attached my latest working (then no longer working) example(s) based on the old post as referenced above.

    Also - can someone explain the difference between version 1 and version 2 attached in the image? They appear to do "functionally" the same thing?

    (IMAGE doesn't appear to be showing? You can see my image here:)

    ovadeus.com/construct/simple_button_code.jpg

    I'm relatively new to construct but one thing that appears to be needed (fundamental) is a "on mouse leave" event. Unless I am missing something? As you have a "on mouse clicked" and "on mouse over" - any thoughts on this?

    As a newbie I have been frustrated at making a very simple button that has an (1) enter (i.e. hover), (2) leave and (3) clicked state. I have figured out a multitude of ways it can be done, but all are clumsy and roundabout to something that should be very simple.

    I am certainly not being critical, but I think this would be a tremendous edition.

  • Excellent suggestion and insight... Will do.
