Hi all,
I'm working with Flash to design a project for a university course. It's an interactive graphic that shows where freshman students at my university come from.
I've linked to what I've got now, and you can see the issue. On mouse over, I want the arcs to go semi-transparent. I first tried this by manipulating it with "movieClip_1.alpha = ", but got some odd artifacts around the edges of the arcs.
I settled on using MouseOver and MouseOut to jump between scenes. All is well and good until I start putting buttons in the individuial counties.
The idea is that I could draw a button, and make the "over" state a bold arc back to the university, but each time I try this, the arcs come back to 100% opacity.
Can anyone help me out with what I need to do to keep the arcs partially transparent when the mouse is over the document?
Here's the link to the .swf movie (if you mouse over Mecklenburg...on the bottom of the state, in the middle...you'll see what I'm talking about)
Here's the link to the .fla file
More than likely, I'm going about this in the completely wrong way. Thanks in advance for your help.
