I have four buttons on the stage. Each one shows a block of text when when the mouse is rolled over it (the text is on the Over frame of the button's timeline). The problem is that some buttons get shown on top of the text. How do I make it so that when the mouse is placed on a button, that button is moved on top of all the others so that the text appears over all the other buttons?

I have a drag and drop based SWF. When I pick up a MC and move it , when I put it down it gives me the MC it is on.However there are times when the returned MC isnt the intended MCEg. The top of the MC is *just* on top of One MC but the mouse pointer is over another (the intended spot), So I am trying to find out if there is a way to return the MC that the mouse is over, rather than the MC's top left corner.
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for something similar to the click to display a textfield in the code snippet menu. I want the textfield to appear when i hover over the box and for the textfield to go away when the mouse is no longer on the box. How do I do this?
View 5 RepliesI am trying to make an interactive flash application that works by detecting mouse overs and clicks on various buttons/movie clips and then moves to the appropriate part of the time line. But I am having an issue when I use more than one addEventListener in any one frame. I have attached the code for one such frame below. When I comment out the addEventListner and the other code relating to the followBall function this works fine and directs the user to frame Inlet_Valve_Open_Frame but now only the followBall function is working and when i try to click on the Inlet_Valve_Button movie clip nothing happens.
I have never read all the help files on the adobe flash CS3 as i don't have time and i have built this code up based on examples i have found online. I wanted to include my fla file but it's to big 6Mb. But i have attached the swf so you have an idea what i am doing.
Code: Select allstop();
//1.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,followBall);

I want to know how i can moving my scene by moving a mouse over them.
to understand what i want exactly ckeck this link :- [URL]
[URL] when you have not clicked on all five dots, and you take the mouse of the stage, the interactive line should be deleted(graphics.clear(); ), and the little animation from the start should come back. my idea is to have a counter that ++ every frame, but when the mouse is moving on the stage the counter is constantly sett to 0. when the counter is, for example, 50 the animation i visible. do anyone have any methods that don't give the 50(for example) frame wait? and i would also like criticism and ideas on the rest.

View 3 RepliesI created a demo where when you roll over parts of the product, in the white space to the left it displays the text information about that part of the product. The rollovers work great, however if you run your mouse over the blank area (where the rollovers would show up), it treats that as the rollover too. Below is the URL for the test page.
View 1 RepliesI have an old as2 animation project with multiple voice overs that I am trying to update to AS3. One issue I have run into is playing voice overs where the animation stops until the voice over is done playing and then it advances to the next frame and another voice over plays. I created a new sound object, sound channel and so on for my first sound. If I place the same code on the next corresponding frame like I did is AS2, I get a bunch of errors, mostly duplicate function errors. I suppose I could change the variable names if I had just a few voice overs but I have several hundred. This creates a problem as you can see. All the googling I have done has not resulted in any useful information. So my question is - how do I do this? I put my old AS2 code in the comments tags.
Code: Select all/*_root.stop();
// Load voice
VSound = new Sound(Voice1_mc);

View 1 RepliesI've created a U.S.Map with roll-overs for each state. What i want is that when you roll-ver each state, you can see a photo + some text appear in the same scene. The idea is that, eachstate has a different photo+text that appears when you roll over it. How do I do this using actionscript? I have attached a raw .fla file I have started, in order to see what I'm talking about. click on "HIV" button to view the roll-overs already created. All I need is to add photos to each U.S. state now??
View 8 RepliesIn my ongoing quest to learn AS3 I am rewriting some of the many, many interactives I have done in AS2. There have been several AS2 interactives where I have used a map of California. The map itself is a movieclip and within that movieclip, all the counties are movieclips that function as buttons and above the counties are the county names which are also movieclips. In other words when you mouse over the counties they do things; the most simple being the county name alpha goes from 0 to 1. In AS2 all the movieclips respond to roll overs even though they are physically obscured by other movieclips within the main map movieclip.
In AS3 the county movieclips (which are on the lowest layer within the main map movieclip) are obscured by other movieclips on higher layers and do not respond to Roll Overs etc. When I move the county movieclips to the highest layer within the main map movieclip, they work just fine. Of course then they obscure all the map details such as roads, labels, etc. Is there some setting to allow movieclips to be read through other movieclips that are physically above them within a main movieclip.
Anyway, the "flier_mc" won't turn fully toward the mouse. I tried a few things, but it just keep turning away at some point.i can finally remove the pesky edge to edge teleport.
View 2 RepliesI built a slider that has two identical horizontal MC's nested end to end inside another MC so when you move the mouse left and right over the MC it slides right and left in an endless loop. My problem is that to stop the slider from moving, the mouse must be in the exact center of the MC and if a person moves off the slider somewhere to one side or the other, it keeps sliding. What I would like to do is set it up so that wherever the slider is when the mouse moves off of it, it simply stops moving. I was thinking maybe an _y parameter would do it (the MC is 18 px high) but I'm not sure how to code this.
Here's what I'm working with:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
xcenter = 467.5;
speed = 1/15;

I'm making a catching game and I only wanted the falling objects hit certain area on my catcher. My catcher is a girl with mouth open and I wanted the falling objects to hit only the mouth, not any other parts of her body like arms. So I made two objects, the full girl and just the mouth. How do I make the two objects (movieclips) move around with the mouse?I tried to embed one object into another but it didn't work....
This is actionscript I wrote so far:

how do i trace the mouse is moving as3. ive place a movieclip on stage as i thought i needed one to write the code. as wasnt sure.
movieclip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,m ouseMoving);
function mouseMoving(event:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("mouseMove");
}
I'd like to control a mc movement on_x direction (or _y) when the mouse mouves horizontaly (or verticaly). So when I mouve the mouse to the right the mc mouves to the lefht and it mouves to the right when the mouse moves to the lefht. It's for a window effect.
View 8 RepliesWhat I'm trying to build is what you could call a scrolling drawing board - just like a drawing board but when the mouse comes close to the edge of the window, it scrolls and lets you continue your drawing. I have no problem creating a drawing board with API, but i can't make it scroll. Usually when i want to scroll a background image i make it move along with the mouse when the cursor is near the edge of the window (for example, if the mouse's coordinates are above a certain number, the background image starts moving in one direction so it "scrolls" in the other direction). So i wanted to do this with the movieclip of the drawing in a drawing board (make it move according to mouse's coordinates near the edge of the window), but when i scroll i have to stop the mouse at the edge of the window because i cant go any further :p so the drawing moves but it stops drawing. Or maybe what i need is some way to draw even when the mouse is not moving.

View 1 Replieslike photoshop cs3 has, flash cs4 also... and probably some others...
a textfield which acts like a button and when you press and hold down the mouse and move up or right the value increases and when you move down or left value decreases.
how to do this the most efficiently... on a mouse_down how would I track where the mouse is moving and how much it has moved in what direction so i can ajust the value in the textfield?
I would like to make a similar effect with car movement found on that site:

i assume that there will be something to do with "_x = _x+_xmouse" but how do i define the boundries and what about the wheel movement? Or maybe it would be better to do this as a MC and if x of the mouse is less than x of MC then prevFrame, if its more then nextFrame ? Have no idea how to put it all together
trying to make a MC to change s x location according to the mouse position. Les say that the Mc moves to x=100 when the mouse_x is > 300 and y < 200. and moves back when the mouse goes back.
View 9 RepliesI'd just like to point out my experience to help others. I know this isn't new, but it got me, so I suspect it'll get someone else too. I'm using flash 8 and AS2 to author a navigation menu and have roll over functions and roll out functions with if statements since it's a multi level menu and I was getting all kinds of strange behaviours with button behaviours not working correctly when testing in firefox. Turns out it WAS something to do with firefox's handling of the transparent WMODE. I'm using SWFObject. After disabling WMODE transparent everything works as it should. Not saying my programming skills are right, but at least everything's getting compiled correctly and the results are consistent enough to test and make progress.
View 0 RepliesI recently made a simple Flash file with video with an alpha channel and three simple buttons. It's a site tour video, and there's a button in the lower right to exit the tour that takes you back to home page. When you move over the "Exit Tour" button, it transforms in size slightly to highlight it. However, PC users are telling me that they can't see the word "Tour" on the button, only "Exit" until you move over the button, then they can see both words. The button functions perfectly on a Mac. Also I've been told that the video often appears choppy and sluggish on PCs, and not Macs. I'm encoding and streaming on flash media server - 400kps, CBR with alpha channel encoded, size 880x512. This is put on a stage size of 980x667 in Flash - is this is just too big of a window for streaming to handle? I have attached some files for reference.
View 1 RepliesI have a question about moving and animated player symbol to the mouse location on a MouseDown event. Right now I have it set up to do an easing so that I can control how fast the player moves to the location. Problem is that it is done with easing. I don' t like the easing because the velocity of starts really fast and then slows down before it reaches the mouseX and mouseY location. I would like just a plain ol' stroll from the player location to the mouse location on the MouseDown event. Here is my code:
[Code]....
Here is the code that I have, I know that these are the basic elements wihc I need to use, individually they work but together they don't
on (press) { this.startDrag(); } on (release) { stopDrag(); } }
this._y+= this._ymouse/4; this._x+= this._xmouse/4;
So what I am trying to do is to get the object to move slower than the mouse but finish moving wherever I let go of the click. So far I can get the object to move with the mouse without clicking and dragging at a slow speed but I cant get the drag to work at a slower speed, it will move as fast as the mouse moves.
It involves the player clicking on a moving movieclip which is boucing up and down on the screen. I started off using a 'mouse down' (not click, because the player must move the mouse before releasing it) event listener attached to the actual mc itself but this seemed to be horrendously innacurate. It LOOKED like I was clicking on the mc but was reacting as though I had missed completely. On the rare occasion that it actually detected a mouse down I thought I was some distance away.It seems that the object itself may be updating its position in memory before updating its position on screen if that makes sense? Has anyone had this issue before? Is there an easy way around it?
As a little test I used trace to output the calculated distance (using Point.distance(..)) between the mouse and the movieclip, most of the time it was returning values of between 70 and 90 pixles when I was definitely not that far away.
i am trying to find out wether the mouse is moving to the left or to the right but i reckon by storing the old mouses location and updating the new postion and store this in a varaible if thats possible
to update and check the mouse x and y postition on the stage saw i can locate
wether the mouse is moving to the left or to the right .
mouse old postion to the mouse new postion
example by using a variable
mouse_old_xpos. _xmouse
mouse_new_pos
this want i tried
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {
mouse_oldxpos = _xmouse;
mouse_newrightxpos = ""

My first post in Actionscript.org. but I'm a long time visitor / fan. I'm moving a object with mouse but using some easing values. means it will follow the mouse slower.
