How to make an image big on rollover in flash CS4.

First of all you need to have the same image of two different sizes and save it in your directory.

Open flash CS4, and import an image on the centre stage, by going to the main menu file-> Import -> Import to Stage, as shown below,

In this case I have imported the smaller sized image to the stage. You can save your file, in this case I have saved it as rollover and it will by-default be saved as a .fla file.

Now click on the image and Press F8 to create a button, call it a name and press ok!

You will see a blue outlined with a small circle in the middle of the image as shown below.

Double click on the button, you will enter the button mode as shown below.

Your button mode will have something like this shown below, your layer will be called by-default Layer1, and you will have an up, over, down and hit area in the button.

Click on the over and right click your mouse and create a blank keyframe like this shown below

Repeat the same for the hit area also, now as you scrub the timeline over all the four modes you will be able to see the orange tag moving with it.

Now click on the hit area and draw a rectangle in the centre of stage as shown below.

Now click on the Over area and import the bigger image to the centre of stage as shown below.

Now test the movie by going to the control menu on the main menu and selecting the test movie or you can also press Ctrl+Enter, a .swf file will be created, in this case rollover.swf will be created and you will notice that the image becomes larger on rollover.

That’s it, you now know how to make an image big on rollover in flash CS4.
