View 2 Repliesi have a mouse trail that loads in frame 1 with this script...
[Code]...
but i want to stop this at frame 3... does anyone know how to do that? (i only want it to run while my preloader is active.
I'm trying to make a mouse trail, and the duplicated MCs are supposed to become lighter and lighter.
duplicateMovieClip (_root.dragger, drag1, 1)
drag1._alpha=75
thats my code...why's it not working? I got that from the Elastic Ball Open source.
I tried to put in the code for mouse trail on my website but it doesnt work? is it a flash thing? can someone please show me the html code to add text mouse trail effect like the one on this site?
View 4 Replies[URL] from here i understand the action script. i want to change the text color so i did this:
Text = "welcome to darkside";
letters = Text.split("");
letterformat = new TextFormat();
[code]....
here i added this action so i can change the color do i need to include the code for white color? or just teh name iv tried both ways the text color stays teh same! and then all of this after it:
spacing = 8;
speed = 3;
for (var LTR = 0; LTR<letters.length; LTR++) {
[Cdoe]....
so how should i modify the script, when i want to use three small, different images instead of just one (imagine three stickmen chasing the cursor as if connected there with an elastic band) ? i tried, but this bypasses my beginner's skills by far
View 7 Repliesi am trying to create a trail behind an object - like a mouse trailer. i have found many mouse trailer scripts but do not know what to adjust so that it will follow an object/symbol...

d=1;

ssize=10;

I'm trying to duplicate this type of mouse trail. I can't tell if it's deforming a movie clip or drawing separate objects on the stage. I can duplicate it at slow speeds, but at a fast speeds I have no idea how they're doing it.
The MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE is way to slow on the update to draw exactly where the mouse is going so I tried using curveTo to create a curve but unfortunately you still hit a point where you get a sharp angle.
I've been busy with a small tutorial on creating a flaming mouse trail. I'm getting two errors though in the same line which I do not understand in the following part of my code:
function startTheFire( e:Event ):void{
TweenLite.to( e.target,0, {alpha: ( e.target.alpha -= 0.05 )} );
if ( e.target.alpha < = 0 )
e.target.removeEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, startTheFire );
removeChild( e.target as Sprite );
}
ERRORS:
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before semicolon.
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before assign.
Both refer to the following line: if ( e.target.alpha < = 0 )
I was wondering how you change the text colour with action script. The Kirupa mouse trail tutorial I was looking at has the following script for the text:
letterformat = new TextFormat();
letterformat.font = "Verdana";
letterformat.align = "center";
[Code].....
Is there a way to do this or am I way off track?
I'm looking for a tutorial, or for the scripting to create a mouse trail that has random movement, but that follows the mouse - also i have seen one, ca't remeber where, that casts 'shadows'?
View 14 RepliesI am a complete newbie n was checkin out a number of sites n came across this kool effect. out with the actionscript used...the site is [URL] how to add the time n date as a mouse trail.
View 3 RepliesEverything works fine, but I am trying to play with the different options.The one thing I am trying to do is have fewer repeats, as the object I am using is larger than the one in the tutorial and it looks too crowded. So, I am trying to figure out where to change the code, so that fewer repeats occur. I assume its the math random part, but not sure.Does anyone know where in this code below I would change that option?

I created a 300x250 Web banner for Google with a mouse trail effect. The banner will not upload because, according to the Google tech people, the banner contains animation that goes "out of bounds." Common sense tells me that if a mouse effect is applied to a Flash banner, then it should only be occurring when a user mouses over that banner. However, I was told that the mouse effect does indeed take place outside the 300x250 banner boundaries, which is preventing the banner from being fully uploaded live.
Does anyone know how to define the stage area so that the mouse effect only occurs in this 300x250 space? Perhaps the only way to get around this is to create a 300x250 hidden button and somehow make the mouse effect occur on rollover. If that is the case, then does anyone know how to do that?
does someone know the actioscript so i can use my own design mouse as a movieclip. And how to disapear the regular mouse
View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip that lists a bunch of song artists, and I need to find out which movieclip is underneath the mouse at a given time.They are all different sizes so I can't run a simple for loop.The only thing I could think of would be to add each movieclip to a huge array and then loop through the array checking each item's position and width/height to determine whether the mouse lies over that specific item.
View 7 RepliesI'm building a specialized viewer application which loads external SWFs.
var content:Sprite = ...
content.addChild(loader);
I listen to my top level content Sprite MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT events.The over handler hides default cursor and displays a custom (zoom) cursor.Out handler changes cursor back to default.What I want to achieve is NOT showing the zoom cursor when the mouse is over a clickable item in the externally loaded SWF like a button or textlink.The current code works perfectly for AVM1 swfs.The problem lies with loaded swfs using AS3.For these the content MOUSE_OUT is fired and instantly MOUSE_OVER is fired as well, so the cursor remains wrong.What this probably boils down to is: How to check the mouse is over a clickable child of content?
I did some heavy googleing but could only find solutions for AS2, how to check it in AS3?
View 1 RepliesWhats the best way to check if the mouse is over a particular element?
View 1 Repliesif there is a way to check if the mouse is over an instance of an mc?
something like:
Code:
if (myMC.MOUSE_OVER == true) {
//do somthing;
} else {
//do something else;
}
Unfortunately standard MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT event listeners won't do in this case. I have 2 mc's next to each other. I have a MOUSE_OUT function for mc 1, but I only want it to execute if the mouse does not roll over mc2 which is situated directly next to it.
I m starting with actionscript, and I need help creating a script to detect when the the mouse pointer is no longer on a certain area (or "mc" area if we use one as an area reference ).please help me.
Its a drop down menu and the problem is when the mouse passes really fast, the menus do not hide back.For a solution, I thought of an action that would check and if the menu was still open after the mouse was out,and then trigger an action to hide it back.
I know that hitTest works with movieclips
MovieClip.hitTest(object);
What about buttons? It doesn seem to work
Button.hitTest(object);
Is there away to check if a mouse is over a button?
I'm trying to move the mouse and check how many pixels I "walked" by comparing the positions every frame, my idea was doing it with arrays, but I really don't know how to make it.
View 5 Repliesi have a group of movie clips i want to know when certain movie clip is clisked
here is my code that does not work properly
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clicked)function clicked(e:Event){ switch(e.target) { case "myMc" : trace("hello world") break;}
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 = ""
[Code].....
It seems i cant find a solution to this simple problem! All I want to check is when the mouse has stopped moving? I know you can check if it is moving (onMouseMove) but cant find a way to check to other way around?
