ActionScript 1/2 :: StopDrag When The Movieclip Is Disabled Mid-drag?
May 11, 2009
I don't even know where to go looking for this.
I have a game with a timer. Lots of moveable pieces using startDrag and stopDrag on a dropTarget. when the timer hits Zero, all the pieces are disabled using enabled=false;
but if I am mid-drag with a piece when the clock runs out, I can't get rid of it, and it won't let me hit my "reset" button.
I have a function that states when movieclip1 is dragged and hits a line then it stops the drag, however it seems to stop the entire drag function in the swf on the other movieclips even though they arent called in the function.[code]
i m developing a seekbar which user can drag to the end of the movie. its working but when the user drag the seek bar and release it , it stops on the current frame. and do not go further.
I'm making a VERY basic Jeopardy game, and I need buttons to be disabled after being clicked on once.
Oh, and I'm working in CS3, but I'm using AS 1&2 because that's what I learned... I have no idea how to use AS 3...
example: frame 1 has btn11 in it. btn11 when clicked takes the person to frame 2. when done with frame 2, they click on return.
the return button (btnReturn1) has the following AS
on (release) { gotoAndStop ("Round1",1) btn11.enabled=false; }
the problem is that it works at first - the button disables when I get back to frame 1, but the next time I click a different button then return to frame 1, the first button I disabled isn't disabled anymore.
my actionscript so that my disabled buttons stay that way no matter how many times I come and go from the frame? or if you have a better way to do it, that'd be great. basically, it's like the jeopardy screen, and after "songs" for 200 is clicked, I don't want it to be clickable again at all.
I have this movieclip with buttons residing in the main timeline. This movieclip is set with an _alpha = 0. How do I disabled this movieclip/buttons in the main timeline as well? The movieclip will be visible only if another button(not within this movieclip) is pressed. I tried using the following but it doesn't work. movieclipInstanceName.enabled = false; How do I go about doing it?

I Have the drag and drop working where you drag a text movieclip onto a picture of an object movieclip but having some problems. I know its something to do with the hitTest function but when i drop the word "cow" onto the picture of a dog it actually says this is correct by displaying the word cow above the picture of the dog when instead it shouldnt allow me to drop the text onto the picture which doesnt match.
Basically i need to know how to seperate the drag hitTest function for the DogPic/DogText so that it has its own function to detect a hit. At the moment you can see in the below code I have 1 hittest fucntion detecting both collisions when they need seperate functions I tried making a seperate function for each but it didnt work
i created quiz. Questions of quiz, two question are fill inthe blank and others are multiple questions. i want to add matches question using startdrag-stopDrag. it runs in seperated fla. But it doesnt runk when i add to quiz.fla, actually mybadscrore doesnt work. However , how i can do to run only once square1.mc?
Code:
square1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, drag); stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, drop); function drag(e:MouseEvent):void
I need a blue box with "man" typed into it made into a MC. (can do that bit).Which when I move it around on a startDrag command needs to change to "woman" in a pink box when it encounters a hitTest with other stationary words on the stage.I obviously need to stopDrag when the mouse is released.Is this about an MC inside another MC?
i'm trying to drag something, and on stopdrag it should start a function if certain requirements are fullfilled. My code looks like this.if(e.target.dropTarget.parent == targetName || e.target.dropTarget.parent.parent.parent.getChildByName("cloud").getChildByName("itemPlacer").getChildAt(1) == targetName){
I got 2 questions, first, this works good when i drag and stopdrag correctly(the requirements in the if are fullfilled). but if the requirements are not fullfilled i get an error saying that the place i'm referring to cant be null. I know that the problem lies after the || part but dont know how to resolve it. 2nd, isnt there a shorter way of doing these checks? Atm i'm going through alot of parents and getchildats and was wondering if there was another way.
I have a movieclip called background_mc; this movieclip contains 20 different movieclips each loading content. This works so far. When the minus key is pressed the background movieclip scales to 25% [this works] while scaled down the movieClip can be dragged around[this works]. I should note that while the movieClip is at 25% if a nested movieclip is clicked(onRelease) it tweens to 100% at the correct cooridinate. The problem is that after the movieClip is scaled back to 100% it can still be dragged whereas I only want it be dragged when scaled down.
If you look at schematic's site I am trying to achieve something similar. [URL]
This is my code so far
Code: Select allvar minusKey:Object = new Object(); minusKey.onKeyDown = function() { if (Key.isDown(109)) {
when I use startDrag() and stopDrag() to drag an object why doesn't it effect the x,y coordinates of the object? you can run this example and see for yourself (move the circle and look at the trace messages):
Actually i have a quiz.fla. In the file ,two of them fill inthe blank questions and others are multiple questions.square1_mc must run only once not twice. Ä°f user correct selected, doesnt run it again.However,if mybadscoretext is 1 not increase 2,3,4. :Show i can do all?
stop(); var myScore:Number = 0; var myBadScore:Number=0;[code]....
I have a website with a slider that worked once upon a time. It still works if the swf is not added to the stage by the preloader. If I load the swf directly, rather than the html with the preloader, the slider works. Otherwise, the stopDrag() function appears to not work, making my video player's volume slider infinitely follow the user's mouse (which is completely unacceptable as you can imagine)
Keep in the mind, the slider works on its own... just after the site has been added to a stage of a preloader via addChild() does it not work.
I have a pretty simple function here where I want to start dragging a video scrubber along the x axis within bounds, and drop it when they let go. The code works perfectly if I don't specify a bounding rectangle (except it doesn't restrict to x-axis). What's up with that? Here's my non-working code:
Code: videoConsole.scrubber.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragScrubber); videoConsole.scrubber.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, releaseScrubber); private function dragScrubber(e:MouseEvent):void{
I know how to do the component UI scroll bar. But what I want to do is have my own custom scroll bar, and all the others tutorial looks confusing. I was just messing around with startdrag function and I notice that whenever you don't specify what you want to drag, it just drag everything. Ex: redBox_mc.startDrag(); will drag only the red box startDrag(); will drag everything. Using this I think I can make a UI scroll bar. The only problem is that everything go in the opposite direction. Is there any way I can fix this?
The Flash movie has three movie clips, square_mc and circle_mc that are draggable objects. The blackCircle_mc is the object that the other two instances, when dragged over it, should disappear from view. However, at the moment the example does not allow the movie clip instances square_mc and circle_mc to disappear. The instances disappear and are not visible in the target area of the blackCircle_mc instance, but not over the black circle area itself. The hitTestObject method is working on the target area outside the circle, but not within the circle circumference.

I have a file where there is a magnet being dragged horizontal. When the magnet is on the left there is a electrical current flowing down, when it's at the right the current flows up. What I want is to have the two electrial currents play at certain points during the drag.So in the beginning the 1st current plays, which is a separate MC. Then once the user drags the magnet to the right the 2nd current MC begins to play and the 1st one becomes invisible. Then the cycle needs to repeat once the magnet gets dragged back to the left.[code]
I need to drag more than one Mc at the time: n.b. emc2 is a mc on the main timeline. This code is in a nested MC. prnt: MovieClip = this.parent as Movieclip; function drag(e:MouseEvent):void{ if((e.type == "mouseDown") && (GlobalVar.stat == "clicked")){ this.startDrag(); prnt.emc2.startDrag(); } if((e.type == "mouseUp") && (GlobalVar.stat == "clicked")){ this.stopDrag(); prnt.emc2.stopDrag(); GlobalVar.drag = false; }} This.startdrag() stop to works when I add prnt.emc2.startDrag().. why?
I have a toolbar with some cars on the left of the window, and I want to click on one element and drag it to the board creating a clone of it, but I can't do it.[code]...
