How to make an DX object that animates only on mouseover?
Sunday, February 1, 2009 by zigboom | Discussion: Skinning
Ive just made my first DX object, should be available soon in my gallery... Anyway, it's an animated object (with 86 frames) .. So far i managed to make it animate constantly. I would like to know how to make it animate only on mouseover.

Whoa there zig, that is ONE SWEET Object!!! it reminds me of my Nebula ball, which I was going to attempt to make hehe, well done!!

Hey, zig. Cool object.
Tailsgirl is right. You'll need a single image for mouse away, and then your animated image for mouse over. Be sure to check 'Interruptable' in your animation settings or the animation will continue to loop even when you mouse away.
Happy DXing!

Thanx SinTactics, me 2 ... Hi Tailsgirl, thanx for the smiles and stars yes, quite few hrs.. all hand work, no way around that in this case... 86 frames in 10fps so it gives more than 8 seconds of looping.. thinking to expend the idea because of the warm feedback... pointless eye candy ROCKS !!!

Heya zig
,Just edit the states, and have a static version for the those states, no frames, just the default 1, and your original image, and add the frame info etc, to the mouseover state, I think.
