OLPCities/Mouse over and click: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 03:45, 14 February 2007

There are two very usual resources that are used when we are working using Sprites: the "mouse-over" and the "mouse-click".

The Class Sprites has four properties that we use:


onmouseover [=String]         The string is the function name to be called when the mouse
                              pointer has moved over the sprite. This CAN include arguments so
                              mySprite.onmouseover="dosomething(x,y,z)" would pass the variables x,y,z 
                              to the function dosomething  

onmouseout [=String}         The string is the function name to be called   

onclickdown [=String]        The string is the function name to be called  

onclickup [=String]          The string is the function name to be called

IMPORTANT: To use any of the last four properties you need to create an object of the Class Mouse

Our exercice will be very easy. We will use "mouse=over" and "mouse-out" to change the face of a card.

Educational games using pairs of cards are very usual.

To have a so big card over the floor of a Lot is not very real but nothing at the OLPCities is very real :-)

Look the complete code of the exercice:

Look and move the mouse over the card and finally click it - it will disapear. It's not a game, only an exercice.: http://www.dmu.com/olpctut/tut8.html.

OBS: An sprite can also be draggable. This is very useful for the creation of educational games Details at the reference of the Class Sprites.
