So I want to control a movie clips rotation with the location of the mouse, with easing if possible. But I am having some trouble figuring out where to start

I need to write a function which should fix the location of the movie clip on the stage.
public function setCoOrdinates(xpos:Number,ypos:Number,movieName:S tring):Void
{
eval(movieName)._x=xpos;
eval(movieName)._y=ypos;
}
My function is as above. While I use this function in flash I only see the last movieclip on the stage which was passed. Movieclips passed earlier seem to have disappeared from the screen.
setCoOrdinates(20,200,"bButton_mc");
setCoOrdinates(530,100,"fButton_mc");
I see only "fButton_mc" on the stage. Even though I set different xpos and yposs for the movie clip.
What I'm trying to do is have my Flash piece have custom elements set by an XML file. I'm using ColorTransform. I have a piece that's loaded as a separate movie clip, and I can't figure out how to get to the piece and apply the ColorTransform.
Here's one example of what I'm doing for a different element on the same mc.
[code]...
So, in this example, I'm setting header_mc to a color specified in the xml. In the case I'm having trouble with, I want to set a color to a movie clip on the timeline and not the main movie
Im working on a quiz kind of game in which if you click an object, you get a question (the object is a movie clip and the question is within it). If you answer it, the movie clip stops at a particular frame. And so go all the objects in the game. Now, because you cant predict which object the user will click on last, I dont know how to bring in an ending screen saying that they've completed it successfully.
View 1 Repliesim trying to get a button to move a list of movie clips up and down how would u go about this
e.g
i have a button at the top of the stage and a button at the bottom and when the top one is clicked it moves up one movie clip till last one is hit. and if the bottom one is hit it moves down one until it hits the last one
is there a way to refer to all movie clips on the stage or apply a function to all movie clips without applying the function to all manually?
View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip nested in frame 2 (* = movie clip in frame 2), it looks like this:
[1][2*][3]
When I test the movie it skips over frame 2. What type of action script (AS2) do I need either in the movie clip and/or in frame 2 to get the movie to play before proceeding and stopping at frame 3?
Basically what I'm trying to do is have one button move two objects, each at different speeds. My first object is called "bg" the second is called "test." I have two buttons, "left" and "right" and when they are clicked on, only the "test" object moves. Here's the code I'm using:
function onRollOver():Void {
if (bg._x<gLEFT) {
bg._x = gLEFT;

I made a flash animation using timelines and broke my movie up into three clips. The clips run fine in their own time line. I was reading about clip.play() clip.stop() and it seemed like I could do this. I have a main timeline with three frames. Each frame has a movie clip symbol on it. Each movie clip symbol has a timeline a few seconds long in it.I did this because I want to put a click event that will go to a different url depending on which clip the viewer is currently seeing. This swf file will be embedded into an html document.When I run the resulting swf - the three frames on the main timeline zip along like crazy and the movie clips don't play at all. I've tried every combination of stop() and play() I can think of but this is just not working as advertised.My movie clips have instance names of Clip1, Clip2 and Clip3.
1) some sample code that works so that I can run these clips in consecutive order;
2) the appropriate onClick code to use in the main timeline frames for my url events
I need to make some animation working without changing its structure, but I have no idea how to control mc instances on diffrent frames and diffrent movie clips. Below is example.When button is clicked, mc2 starts to play.
View 2 RepliesIn the FLA file i have two animations of a turbine and a fan turning one is controlled via a button the other is a loop action that is not controlled.The button control is simple telling the movie clips to got frame 2 and play,and on the fan and turbine movie clips I have a goto and play frame 2 action the end of their time line. By doing this I get a rotation effect .
The problem is that when I call play function from the start button the movie clip does not play properly and just shudders between frames,rather than way it should run as a looped animation.
I am somewhat new to flash and am having some trouble trying to control two different movie clips with two different buttons. Currently when either one of the buttons is pressed both movie clips start to play. How can I set file up so that if button 1 is pressed movie clip 1 will play and if button 2 is pressed movie clip 2 will play

View 4 RepliesI have created a website on the time line. There is actionscipt contolling which frame to play via a button. Within this button is a movieclip with a fade in using alpha on its own timeline with a stop(); at the end.The problem is I only want it to play when you first see it from moving to that page from the main timeline. Currently if i move over the button it plays the movie again which i dont want to happen. I do however want to retain the over states etc for the button.
View 2 RepliesIm creating a booklet with turning pages, like the one previously posted, so all the content is loaded dynamically.On the right hand page i have text, of which some lines are interactive.On the left page, i have a hidden text box. When the user clicks on a certain line on the right page, the text box on the left page becomes visible, and the relevant txt is loaded into the text box.Now, i can make the text box on the left page invisible by placing _visible = 0; directly into the actionscript pane of the text box.What i cant do is make it visible by clicking on the right page text. Where should i put the code to make the text box visible?Is it as simple as movieClip._visible = 1; ?
View 10 RepliesIve been having problems getting buttons within a movie clip to control the main timeline and switch scenes. Ive tried everything from _root.gotoAndPlay to with(_parent) and such.
View 1 RepliesSo I have been trying to figure out a way to control multiple clips using the same "on press" & "on release" statements located on 1st frame of main timeline. A variable is being set to a value that correlates to the name of each movie clip as an interaction occurs.Ex: user clicks from a selection of buttons & depending on the button clicked it sets clipNum = "1" through "21".What I want is to have something like the following code that will give the user the ability to click and drag the clip with code on the main timeline similar to the following:
_root["drag_" + clipNum].onPress = function () {
startDrag (_root["drag_" + clipNum]);
};

I have a "large" movie clip and "small" movie inside a "large" movie clip but on it's let's say upper right corner:
Code:
largeMc.addChild(smallMc);[
If i try to catch Mouse.DOWN events on them the following way:
Code:
largeMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, largeClicked);
smallMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, smallClicked);
Then of course both event are captured no matter where i click.Is it possible to capture independent mouse clicks on both of these two movie clips and if so, how can i do that?

I need to know how to make a movie clip appear exactly where the user clicks.I have a button that is made up of four separate parts across the stage, and when you click a part of it, I'd like for a movie clip to appear on that button, where you just clicked.Rather than creating 4 separate movie clips (and four separate buttons) showing the same thing, can I just make one, and make it move to the location the user has clicked?Please let me know if this makes sense! Essentially, I'd like to know if there is a code that says "Make movie clip appear on location of mouse"
View 2 Replieshow I can use the location of the mouse to control the alpha of a movie clip. I have 3 images that are the full stage width/height. One image will be in the background and does not need to be changed. However the other images I want to fade in when the mouse is moved from the middle to the left or the right. So I know I need to set a min and max value to be the range of the alpha, but I have never worked with mouse position before. I can't use the mouse over function like many tutorial's show due to images being full screen.

View 1 Repliesi'm kinda new to actionscript but im trying to find out how to realise a banner i am making.I have 1 big movieclip thats about 5x larger then what is shown, i have 4 movieclips each on each side of the movieclip, left, right, up and down.The idea is that when i hover on 1 of the movieclips the big movie clip moves that way until the mouse isn't hovering above it or when the movieclip reaches the end of the side.I have given a mouse listener event to each movieclip on the side, the trace works well, but i i don't know how to make the big movieclip move when i hover the side, i hope someone can give me some pointers on how to proceed.
Code:
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
leftMove.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,move_left);
function move_left(event_object:MouseEvent) {

i am looking to be able to have a movie clip that always faces the direction of the mouse and don't have the first clue how to do it. all i can guess is that it uses radians in some way.
View 3 RepliesIf two or move movie clips overlap, everything underneath the top movie clip does not seem to receive mouse events. I tried many things, including setting ".mouseEnabled = false;" on the top movie clip and its constituents, but it still eats up all mouse interaction. Is there a way around this? Listening to all mouse events and using hitTest is not an option in my case.
View 1 RepliesI am creating a interactive ad and am having problems getting the onMouseDowns to work properly.I have 4 thumbnail images that, when clicked on, need to enlarge and show a caption. My problem is that when the user clicks, it triggers an onMouseDown for all of the image thumbnail movieclips. What should happen is that only the thumbnail that was clicked on should enlarge.How can I isolate the click so that it just triggers the thumbnail movieclip that was actually clicked on? I have to use Actionscript 2 for this.I'm attaching my FLA (CS3) here as well as SWF file.
View 3 RepliesI have a project in AS2, and my question for that was posted in AS2 thread. But in the meantime, I was considering switching the project entirely to AS3 because AS2 is giving me a headache.
Basically what I need to have is this:
When you rollover the btn "learn how" a toggle window expands and a countdown movie clip starts. When you roll off the btn, the window and movie clip will both disappear. That works perfect. The next part is what is tricky for me. (to better make sense of it, the countdown is there as prep to a graphic movie clip. So if the user sees the countdown and decides they dont want to see the graphic movie, they can simply rollout with the mouse and the clip will go away.
Now...if the countdown plays all the way through... I need the second movie clip to start. The tricky part, is that when that movie clip starts.. it should no longer have the rollout mouse function. I need it to stay there unless the user clicks an Exit out button.. which I haven't done yet, because I have no idea if I can even get that far.
i have a bunch of movie clips and in order to make them rotate the way i want i have grouped them together, made the entire group into a movie clip and applied the motion tween. I'm trying to code it so that when i mouse over the movie clips WITHIN the group movie clip, something happens. How would i go about it? All i can work out is how to make the entire group react on mouse over, not the individual movie clips themselves.
