ActionScript 3.0 :: Assigning StartDrag XY Coordinates?
Feb 26, 2010I'd like to figure out how to get these four skulls to move on a constrained X axis on enter frame, and on CLICK, I'd like them to reset to their original positions.Example:On frame 1 is an mc I created named holder. Inside there's an mc named box. Inside box are four mcs, circles1-4, inside the circles I have four skulls.I've also created an mc called rectangle and dragged it over the first skull to get the coordinates I want using the following trace:
trace(rectangle.x, rectangle.y, rectangle.width, rectangle.height);
Resulting in these coordinates: 143.95,119.05,131.15,61
So, this works MOUSE_OVER the circles

ActionScript 3.0 :: StartDrag Coordinates - Incorrect Number Of Arguments
Mar 16, 2009I am trying to setup a startDrag in CS4, AS3 and can't seem to find the right syntax for it. The documentation says it should be:
startDrag(lockCenter:Boolean = false, bounds:Rectangle = null):void.
I interpret this as:
mc.startDrag(false, 55, 0, 648, 0);
Unfortunately I am getting the following errors:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type int to an unrelated type flash.geom:Rectangle.
1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 2.
Flash :: Canvas Moved On StartDrag() Without Calling Set X / Y Or Move() - How Does StartDrag() Exactly Work In As3 / Flex
Feb 11, 2011i have an .as class that extends mx.containers.Canvas (it's a draggable border of a resizable component), it becomes draggable on MOUSE_DOWN and stops being draggable on MOUSE_UP, MOUSE_OUT and ROLL_OUT. before calling startDrag() i create a Rectangle to define the drag area, i also have a _dragging: Boolean variable to control if it's draggable at the moment. the problem is that when i click this border it jumps to a negative coordinate without calling startDrag or switching _dragging to true.
i've overriden get x, set x, get y, set y and move() methods in order to solve it but the only thing i got was the fact that position changes without calling coords setters or move(), but at the moment it's changed a getter is called and returns new (negative) value so my question is what happens on startDrag() and how to filter unwanted incoming coords values?
Actionscript 3 :: Flash - StartDrag() Within StartDrag() On Child MovieClip
May 19, 2011as you can see, I have a container MC which I have added to the stage. I set its drag constraints using a Rectangle(). I then add the 'cat' child movieclip to the container, and I want this to be dragable too. However, as soon as I click on my cat when testing the MC. It shoots to point x=0 y=0 on the stage and doesn't move.
The container MC can be moved without any trouble.
If I remove the rectangle bounds from the containers startdrag() function. both MC's can be dragged without any issue.

my_x = 800 - myImage.width;
my_y = 480 - myImage.height;

Actionscript 3 :: Convert Global Coordinates To Local Coordinates Of A UIComplenent In Flex Project?
Dec 19, 2011I was trying to convert global coordinates to local coordinates of a UIComplenent in my flex project using below code using below code
var gp:Point = new Point(e.stageX,e.stageY); //global point
var lp:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp); //local point
uic is UIComponent in which I have subclass of Sprite for drawing something I have set the sprite's mouseEnabled and mouseChildren to false to not interrupt the mouse event. above code is within uic's mousemove event where I was tracing the gp and lp gp was giving correct value and suprisingly lp was giving negetive values. when I move the move to the top left corner of uic i expect lp to be 0,0 but it is giving the -width of of uic. I broke my head for hours and ended up finding an alternate by using offsets. Infact my original code was much simpler like this which was same issue
var lp:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
I am not sure what exactly is causing this problem. the workaround had lot of issues and it creating a mess in my rest of the algorithms.Just now I found even more interesting thing (which is actually weird). for some reason I went and create a new lp2
var lp2:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
now surprisingly it was giving correct values as expected and I went back and changed the code as
var gp:Point = new Point(e.stageX,e.stageY); //global point
var lp:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp); //local point
var lp2:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
var lp2:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp);
now it is expected to have all the lp, lp2 and lp3 variables to be same but weiredly lp two is giving wrong value and lp2 and lp3 were giving correct. I am suspecting using the variable lp has something to do. I am not sure about that but above proves it so right now I am using lp2.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Converts 3d Coordinates To 2d Coordinates - Difference Between MoveTo And LineTo?
May 21, 2007I was reading the 'Isometric Transformations' tutorial by Danko Kozar and I have a few questions. I understand what all the code does, but not how it does it. First of all, how does the following code work:
transforms x,y,z coordinates into Flash x coordinate
xFla = function (x, y, z) {
// cartesian coordinates[code].....
I understand that it converts 3d coordinates to 2d coordinates, but I don't understand how. What numbers whould be punched into x, y, and z to acquire certain desired effects?Also, what's the difference between moveTo and lineTo:
red line
style(1, "0xFF0000", 100);
plot(0, 0, 0);
draw(200, 0, 0);

Nov 1, 2007is there a way to drag multiple movieClips at the same time? Flash help explicitly says: Only one movie clip can be dragged at a time.

ActionScript 3.0 :: StartDrag In 3D Not Working?
Apr 1, 2010The Language Reference states:
"Three-dimensional display objects follow the mouse and Sprite.startDrag() moves the object within the three-dimensional plane defined by the display object. Or, if the display object is a two-dimensional object and the child of a three-dimensional object, the two-dimensional object moves within the three dimensional plane defined by the three-dimensional parent object."
However, this does not seem to be the case. I have a 2D object which is the child of a 3D object, but startDrag will not work on the child. If I remove any tweens in code from the parent's rotationY then startDrag will work. If I have any reference to rotationY it will not work, even if it is set to 0.

For your information : all my files are in AS3.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Tile Map Using StartDrag()?
Feb 5, 2009I'm making a strategy game the uses a tile map to show information about the other players! Every tile is 50*50px and when you start the map it loads about 50 tiles and puts them together (all this from a Flash->ASP->MySQL which i managed to do on my own)
What i need to do is to make the map draggable (kinda like maps.google.com) and make every tile clickable! I can't manage to do both of these things at the same time All the tiles are in a movieclip called mapMc so by creating a big button above the visible map area and write:
ActionScript Code:
on (press) {
allSize = _global.fullMapSize/2; //This gets the size of the map after all tiles have loaded[code].....
And that kinda works (except for the boundaries)Second, when you press a tile, which i stupidly constructed as another button, so every tile is a button (loaded dynamically) with as that fetches the tile information (already fixed ) But how do I combine them?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Set The StartDrag (L,T,R,B) Parameters?
Jul 13, 2004I've got a zoomable map within a frame, and of course I don't want it to be dragged out of view, right?
So, how do I set the startDrag (L,T,R,B) parameters when it's a different size when it's enlarged (zoomed)?
Would it be advisable to somehow set multiple conditions to do something like this? (if so, how would I do it?)
if ( between Size>100 AND Size<200) {
startDrag(this, false,400,150,600,250);
}
if ( between Size>200 AND Size<400) {
startDrag(this, false,500,250,500,150);
}
Would it be advisable to do something like that? If so, how would I code it?
If not, what would be a better idea?
...I swear, adding this zoom feature added a whole level of complexity to this map that I've never imagined.
