I've written a lot of code, and I have a ton of onMouseDown clipEvents, but now I want to user just to be able to mouse over instead of clicking. Is there any code that will automatically activate all onMouseDown functions in your program?
View 7 RepliesI have a CS3 scrollpane component with a movieclip loaded into it that the user can scroll up and down and side to side. In the movieclip I have a PNG and a drawing function that essentially lets the user drag and draw a yellow highlight box on the PNG. So onMouseDown the drawing function starts, onMouseMove the box size is set based on where the user puts the cursor and onMouseUp the box is actually drawn.
My problem is that if the user clicks on the scroll pane dragger bars (for lack of a better term) it draws a box where they clicked and dragged the scroll bar. how I could disable the onMouseDown if the user is interacting with the scrollpane?
I have tried setting X&Y conditions, but if they only work if the user is at the bottom right corner of the image. I also tried making an invisible button that would change a variable on rollOver and rollOut but that messed up my scrollpane somehow.
here is my drawing code if that helps at all:
PHP Code:
//
var myClipNames:Array = ["mc0", "mc1", "mc2", "mc3", "mc4", "mc5", "mc6", "mc10", "mc11", "mc12", "mc13", "mc14", "mc15"];
var i = 0;

Is it possible to use a movie clip to block the mouse from activating the stage MOUSE_OVER event?
View 4 RepliesAm working on a flash AS 2.0 project where am loading movies from the same folder. my code goes like
on (release) {
loadMovie("HAD.swf",2);
}
problem is the swf loads infront of the main movie but the main movie's links are still active.
I want to create some AS to disable and enable a button.Let's call this ButtonX. I want this button to appear disabled at first, and then allow the user the option of enabling this button(ButtonX) by clicking another button. Let's call this ButtonY. I cannot get this to work. I am attaching the code I am trying. I have this AS added to ButtonY and ButtonX is the instance name for the button I want to de-activate-activate.

I have the following clipEvent to control a scrolling menu:

How can I make this into a function ?
I made a very simple AS3 event simply for demonstrating what I'm trying to ask.
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, mousewheel_csel);
function mousewheel_csel(event:MouseEvent) {
var delta:int = -event.delta;
trace("delta:"+delta);
}
I made a full screen flash site (100% width and height), and I was hoping I could scroll it simply with the wheel, even before clicking on the site. It seems it only works if I click first, then I can scroll as intended. Is there any way to avoid clicking first this? I tried embedding with and without SWFObject 2.2.
I think the root of the problem is that my flash does not have focus, and clicking gives that. Is there any way to give focus to it?
Keeps giving me an error:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

I am working on a menu that uses a number of these buttons: [URL]
The button works quite well, except that I would like the sub-menu to close up once the mouse clicks elsewhere on the screen. I have tried to find the Action Script for this but have been unsuccessful. What script can I use to cause the menu to close up when a user clicks outside of the button?

2 swf loaded on top of each other and mouse not clicking on lower swf
how can i click on the lower swf. is there a way of letting the mouse drop past the top swf?
When I drag a button (say at the bottom), the mouse cursor jumps to the zero position of the button - that is, it's top left corner. What I'd really like is for the cursor to stay where it is, no matter where I click. I've tried storing the _xmouse and _ymouse positions on first click, but when I try to set those values with the ones I've stored, nothing happens. It's as if the xmouse fields are not being updated. Are they reado only?

I dont understand how i would change the OnClipEvent (enterFrame) code to make it move where i want to go.
How could i make it so you can choose which mouse you have by clicking a button
heres what i have

I thought it would work but it just hides the mouse (triangle is the mouse instance name)
I'm having trouble with a custom mouse cursor. In my script I replace the original mouse with a movie clip called hand like so:
Mouse.hide();
hand.x = stage.mouseX;
hand.y = stage.mouseY;
But when I go to click on something it uses the mouse's pointer still. I'd like to be able to drag with any part of my custom cursor(which is larger than a mouse).I've tried making a hit box that detects when the mouse is near the clip but it doesn't work onsistently(sometimes it just clicks like normal).Is there to make the clicking area of the mouse change?
I found this code but dont fully understand it, it is supposed to enable right mouse clicking and using flash studio pro by mdm u can remove the rioght hand click menu
PHP Code:
Stage.showMenu = false;
this.rObj ={

now does this code work in flash mx or is it ssomething to do with flash studio pro??

View 2 RepliesI have a blank container mc into which I am loading JPGs after you click on a button. There are 10 buttons in the movie, each associated with a different JPG.This container_mc is part of a function called on the main Timeline.The Flash movie is 1 frame on the main Timeline. This code works correctly on the first JPG when I click on a button for the first time), but then when you click on a different button I believe it just uses the dimensions and coordinates of the first JPG. How can I reset or refresh (unload, reload) this function so it works correctly every time I load a new JPG?
//after full size image loads into detailthumb_mc,
//resize image so that neither width nor height is > 150, tben recenter

I have drawn intersecting lines. The user can click on a region inside the angle formed by the two lines.When the user clicks inside the area, the small region formed by the arc between the two lines showing the angle should change. How can I do that.the region between the intersecting lines is sprite object to dispatch event listener, but the arc is shape object.

Goal: deactivate the "onMouseDown" listener after the mouse button is released.
Limitation: "OnPress" is not an option because it interferes with other code.
I'm creating an animated menu that I'd like to 'stow away' when the user clicks anywhere but the Menu button.I know this involves adding a mouse listener for an onMouseDown event, but I'm not sure what or how to define this...Is it possible to define an entire area (my site) minus a specific area (the menu button) for an onMouseDown event?
View 3 RepliesThe issue is that I am making something that has many buttons, and rather making a variable that has it turn true onMouseOver (when I go over an interface object, the variable wont let the click register), making clicking not register, and then register onMouseOut (when I leave the interface object, clicking is registerable) for every single button, I rather have it auto recognize if I am actually hitting the root object like shown in my attachment.
View 6 Repliesi need some help with my startDrag function, i have something like this right now:

I need to add an UIComponent (Label for example) as a child on a canvas and I need to set it on-top (when user click on the label with the mouse, the target event will be the label and not the canvas)I'm sure flash has a solution for that but I can't find it on the net.
View 1 RepliesI've got this really weird problem. I have the following code:
[Code]....
The thing is, after I setup the onMouseDown, Anywhere I click on the screen run that function, not only the listMask movieclip! The movieclip is just a plain rectangle that was drawn by code, nothing special, no hidden graphics. Even if I don't draw anything in the movieclip, the whole screen is still clickable (as well as areas outside the screen, if we maximize the player window). This movieclip was created with .createEmptyMovieClip
I'm having problems with calling a function triggered by onMouseDown.
Code:
_root.myMC.onMouseDown = function() {
_root.x = _root._xmouse;
_root.y = _root._ymouse;
startDrawing(270,75,x,y);
}
The idea is that the function 'startDrawing' only has to execute when I click on the mc 'myMC' which contains a (filled) square, a sort of a drawingboard. However, it also executes when I click anywhere else in my movie.
I've got a very simple movie clip that is supposed to load an external .swf into an empty clip that gets created when you click on one of the clip instances on the stage.
[Code]....
The empty movie clip gets created (I assume), and the .swf gets loaded in, but when you click anywhere on the stage, this code gets executed, basically loading the .swf back in. It's only supposed to execute when you click on "about_mc" . What am I missing, besides a brain?
