when watching this video, it absolutely looks like me making prototype in Figma (deja vu), but the difference is that you SOLVE the problem! thank you so much for sharing this
the conflicting interactions drove me nuts, man for the elegant logical sequential explanation bud. You are excellent at answering side curiosity questions buddy keep it up ⚡️
Glad it helped! Thank you for the kind words, still figuring out how to best share stuff on youtube but it's always nice to hear. Feel free to reach out if you need any help! ✌️
I'm glad that was helpful! i've realized that there's also another way which is just adding some padding so that empty space is still part of the element where the hover belongs to but you end up not leaving the element because you have that transparent padding. Anyway, the mouse enter/leave is always a helpful option to have!
Thank you so much for making this video. I am currently studying UX design remotely and there was no one to help when I got stuck. Your video was super helpful! 😊🎉
Amazing guide, thank you. One bit I got stuck on for a long minute was at 16:13 where if you choose anything except 'Instant' animation for the sub-menu [open overlay], it will blink erratically and give you a migraine.
i’m really struggling to get this to work properly. I’ve downloaded your attached file inside Figma and it uses ‘Mouse move inside’ and ‘Mouse move outside’ which don’t appear to be available in the interaction options! if I switch them to use ‘Mouse enter’ and ‘Mouse leave’ the first level (second menu item) and the submenu flicker on and off constantly when I hover the second menu item. Any ideas?
If I understood correctly you need to add a slight delay so the flickering doesn’t happen anymore. If you still have a hard time can you share the link to the file so I can take a look?
I did add a delay but it still flickers. It looks like a conflict between mouse leave and mouse enter on different elements at the same time. Could you upload the actual file you used as the current one uses options that are not available in the latest Figma.
@@tasteconsultancy the work file in the description is the only file I have. The interactions are the same as “Mouse enter” and “Mouse leave” which are currently available in Figma. Feel free to share your file link with me or invite me to it and I can take a look
Doesn't this create the issue that the hover state with the drop-down is on a timer, and means the user can't hover over a tab and read the drop-down options without moving their mouse?
It shouldn’t because it’s not really a “timer” it’s just a delay for the dropdown to show so it gives you enough time for the mouse to hover over. You can also achieve the same thing by using a container wrapping the dropdown with extra invisible padding on the side so the hover doesn’t trigger off
If I want to change the text color and icon color while hovering. How can I do that? It works for the text but I encountered an issue with the icon. Only the exact icon I used as a main component changes the color, while the replaced icons stay the same color as default state.
Hi on the nav item hover variant if you change the color of the icon there it should change it when you hover if it’s not changing make the sure the icon has the exact same name and structure as the one from the default state. If it’s still not changing it may be a bug that you need to reach out to the support team for help. Hope that helps
I mean they should have the same name in the default and hover state. If you’re using components for the icons make sure that the icons themselves(not the frame that wraps them) are flattened and have a consistent name. I add the icon names to their parent frame and the vector itself I flatten (command/ctrl + E) and name them all “shape”
Also you shouldn’t need to create new variants just to have different icon. If the icons are components and their structure are the same (as I mentioned above) they should work
Hi! This video taught me a ton about auto layout and components! Thank you so much. I did have a question,.When I add the mouse enter interaction to my main nav component, in your case the Recipies component, to open the hover frame, I then add the on mouse leave interaction to the drop down menu that appears on the over frame only for it to blink rapidly when my mouse is on the "Recipe component". I'm guessing its because its witching between the two frames based on the mouse entering one component and at the same time leaving the drop down menu component. How can I get around this?
@@AdrianoReisDesign Yes that was it! now I am trying to figure out how to keep the main nav menu option highlighted as the user selects different options on the drop down menu :) I think you answered it in the video though!
hey, glad it helped! can you elaborate a bit more on what you mean by 'integration' of payment gateway in figma? if you have some reference to share that'd be great. Thanks!
@@deepakbakshi1008 i think that could be cool for a video! what's the main thing you'd like to learn there? just how to design it or is there anything specific you're looking for?
Hey there, yes the video is a bit old now after many releases but "mouse leave" still works same way today. What are you struggling with? btw there's an easier way to build this which is to wrap the dropdown on another auto-layout and just add invisible padding on top so when your mouse travels it doesn't travel on an empty area that will cause the dropdown to trigger-off

This is the most mind-probing prototyping Video I have ever watched 👌
Thanks for uploading. I learnt a lot
Thanks, I’m glad you learned some tricks!
thank you very much! this video really helped me with my troubles in animating such kind of menu on hover! very useful!
Awesome, glad it was helpful!
You're a lifesaver!!! I wasn't even aware there were a mouse enter / leave option .

Haha glad it helped and yeah it’s a bit hacky!
There are probably other ways to achieve the same result though

So this is only usable on that specific home page?

@@AdrianoReisDesign all icons have different names. Does it mean I have to create 3 variants for 3 different icons?
I mean they should have the same name in the default and hover state.

I add the icon names to their parent frame and the vector itself I flatten (command/ctrl + E) and name them all “shape”

@@AdrianoReisDesign I'm having a hard time understanding this but thank you for your response.
But you can't hovering other menus when dropdown is active
You can, at 11:47 I start building the inner interactions for the hovers including the submenu

Answered it at 18:50 !! I must have skipped over that part, thank you
Amazing!! So glad it's been helpful. The fix must've been to add the delay, right? I know the flickering is really annoying, i've been there! 😅
