I am wanting to in essence create a puzzle with pieces that when you drag the object you can only drop it back where you got it from or into the correct spot. Basically it is an object that when dragged to the right spot will (snap to) or drop into place. If it is dragged to the wrong spot then it will be forced back to where it was originally.
View 1 RepliesI am currently trying to create an app using flash AIR.I would like to find some more information on how to make an object snap to another ojbect then follow its path, eg. a person object is already on the stage, then drag an arrow to the object which snaps to it, then on play button it follows the arrow path. all in pure actionscript, no guide layers.
View 1 RepliesSo I have two circles and a square on stage, myCircle1, myCircle2, and mySquare. You can drag the two circles, if you drop either one outside the square it'll snap back to where it originally was, if it's touching the box it'll snap to the center of the square.
I want it so when the second circle (either one) snaps to the center of the square, the first one will go back to it's original co-ordinates. So only one circle can be in the square at any time.
I've attached my as file with the current code.
I am still trying to come to grips with how make an object snap to another ojbect, then follow its path with pure ActionScript (snap an arrow oject to a circle, then the circle follows the direct of the arrow when play button in hit).I am trying to create an application aimed towards something like this url...I have got my drawing line working but do now know how to make the object follow the line, here is how I have drawn my line on the stage.[code]
View 1 RepliesI searched the internet and this forum but can't seem to find a logical answer to how to best set this up.
So inside my sliderMC clip I have the sliderScrubber.
Inside the sliderMC, I also have 4 mcs labeled "mc1", "mc2", "mc3", "mc4".
I have noted down the x position of each mc, but am not really sure how to use it in code? Also, how would I be able to calculate "sliderScrubber" to snap to the closest x value to each mc upon release?
How would I go about being able to slide along the x and perform the above functions?
I have:
ActionScript Code:
sliderMC.sliderScrubber.onPress=function(){
this.startDrag();

I am kind of new to the whole flash sceen and am getting a little bit frustrated with the snapping (I am used to Photoshop Snapping). I have a bunch of objects the exact same size as the stage and I would like to snap them to the stage (I am making a slideshow-rotating image). I always find myself having to zoom in extreamly to make sure the edge of my image is lined up with the edge of the stage... is there a way to snap my images to the stage.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to code the snap to grid functionality. The dragged object should snap to the grid if the distance between the object bounds and a grid line is less than 5px. I found a way to do it if the object's rotation is 0 but it doesn't work if I rotate the object. I need a different approach. Can you point me into the right direction with the algorythm or any source code?

View 1 RepliesI'm having trouble figuring out the code to make an object slide or snap.
I.e. imagine a checkerboard. I want it to be able to move only horizontally or vertically, from any square. But I also want to make it feel smooth like sliding (i.e. not just snap from square to square).
I'm new to Flash (sort of - I used it a bit back in 1999-2000, but it's changed a LOT since then).

I want the kids to be able to drag any one of the five labels and move them to any one of five marked positions on the diagram. I'm using Flash CS5 with Actionscript 3.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a boundary for a player object, controlled with arrow keys, in my game using the main stage's height and width. For example, one test point is at the top edge of the player object's bounding box so that when the player object's head touches the stage's top edge, the player can't move anymore to the north. The player object is manually instantiated to the center of the stage by using the Flash stage editor so it will start at the center before the program starts.The problem is that right at the start of the program, I can no longer move the player object up or down with the arrow keys but I can still move it left or right. The intention is to allow the player to move north until the player object's head touches the top edge of the main stage.[code]

View 3 RepliesIv been having some real trouble lately attempting to create an object panorama, emphasis on the object version, iv found plenty of tutorials on how to do regular panoramas (ie, from one spot looking outwards, i want to make one of something looking inwards orbiting it) iv used flash quite loosely before in the past and have come to the conclusion from various articles on the internet it is capable and probably the best way to make a small file size.
basically what i wanted was to have it so that when u click and drag side to side it would show around the object, im not too worried about how fast around it goes or if it accelerates the further away from the centre its dragged, just the main control im looking for. at the moment i have 180 odd pictures of my model im looking to orbit, or less or more depending on what people think is better (its a 3d render i made so i can choose how many pictures it has) or iv already got it stitched together into a video.
the ideas id already had were that it would load each picture into an empty movie clip based on the frame number, ie it would load model001.jpg on frame 1, model020.jpg on frame 20 etc etc, but that didnt work as i suspected and it seems to flicker which i probably should expect as it has to load each picture each time. my other idea was that if its possible to make a movie scrubber, and load the video of the orbiting object in, then just use a scrubber to control moving it around but i couldnt find anything (that wasnt to buy) on how to do that.
I am creating an actionscript video player in Haxe and to avoid the asyncError I am trying to create a custom Object. How do I do this is Haxe? The client property specifies the object on which callback methods are invoked. The default object is the NetStream object being created. If you set the client property to another object, callback methods will be invoked on that other object. Here is my code.
public function new()
{
super();

View 2 RepliesI've been starting to create my own classes for a project and I've encountered an error that I don't know how to solve. This is for a Game class collection.
How do I create an object with ActionScript if I only know the name of it? I have a class that should add an object as a "grid" and place it accordingly, so if I have a Square box that I want to place by 4x4 on the screen it calculates it automatically. Well, that's the goal anyway.
I have a function in my Grid class, Add_Background that accepts an Object to be added as the grid background. I use a movieclip (don't know if I can use a graphic element).
I call the function myGrid.add_background("name_of_my_movieclip") or myGrid.add_background(new name_of_my_movieclip());
The first one I don't know how to use, I don't know how the syntax for creating an object this way (etc: grid[a][b] = new name_of_my_movieclip() doesn't work...) so there has to be some other kind of way on how to pass this to the function and that it knows what to do with it.
The other thing I've tried is passing the object to the function (new Grid_Background() etc) but I can't clone the object anyway I try it and the ActionScript reference site says there's an mx.utils.ObjectUtil that I can use for this, but I have no access to it that I know of (tried it).
Is it better to create a new Object or to reset the same object over and over again?

View 2 RepliesI am toying around with the idea of making a few card games, and was testing some code trying to get an Ace of Spades to snap to a slot.But for some reason the card isnt snapping... with the traces I ran.. it looks like it is snapping to the center. But I changed the center point with the free transform tool... so the point is in the upper right but its still not snapping.You can see by the traces I use, that the home1X = 36 means it is finding the corner

I'm wanting to design a sort of DVD chapters menu. Ya know, where each chapter has an animated thumbnail of each scene.
I converted some small clips of animation into MC's. If I put one of those MC on the stage, VCam(within the MC) naturally scales the MC to the stage dimensions.
Is is possible to Scale & XY pos VCam to the dimensions of a targeted MC on stage? I'm open to other solutions. but would find this hella handy to be able to place a MC (Example: a panning Security Cam) into a graphical monitor on a scene, etc.
