I have a Large moveable object that can be clicked and dragged around the movie, but how can I make so that if I border off an area of the movie the objects movement is limited to those corners. So the top left of the object cannot be dragged further than the top left corner of the border and so on.
View 2 RepliesI'm making a side-scrolling game, with a (theoretically) infinite background. I have a block engine that places the blocks on the bitmap canvas. Now here's the catch. I'm using the bitmapData.scroll() function. Now unless I clear the screen each time the character moves, it's going to leave ghost images of the border of the screen, like this picture: zanzlanz. tumblr. com/post/18857712784 If I clear the screen each time, then it generates a lot of lag (because it has to repaint the objects again). I'm a bit lost on how I can scroll without leaving streaks of the side of the screen and without repainting the entire screen.
View 1 Replieswhenever i view my animaion on my browsers, it plays to fit the screen. actionscrip that will keep it the size it is meant to be. And if the actionscript has to be added to the first frame..does that mean to every layers first frame(there are about 6 or 7 layers)..one more thing..with the animation already done, how can i insert a preloader all the way in the begining?
View 2 RepliesIs there anyway to disable the Print Screen key or stop users from capturing the screen.
I've tried the fallowing method

but it gives me this error, anyway to make this work?
Error: Error #2176: Certain actions, such as those that display a pop-up window, may only be invoked upon user interaction, for example by a mouse click or button press. at flash.system::System$/setClipboard()
I've made a site with small draggable "popup" windows (not actual windows since they are objects in flash..) I can drag em off the scene outside the edge. I've attempted many things.. A adaptation of the collision script found through search.. (on collision it stopped dragging) Worked nice, until you move the mouse real fast, then it can pass right through or partly through and the fact that it's stopdrag. It takes effort to get it from the edge. It's stuck basically.
I fixed it by making the on (press) change frame in a moveclip containing the border.. had a side effect though.. You can now drag the window out from the scene if you repetitively drag it towards the edge. Is there a way to limit a movieclips possible X & Y positions? (in both + & - range to make it a 4 cornered block). I also want the moveclip to keep moving up/down if if hits the right/left edge if you continue dragging it up/down (same with left/right edge also)
I tried the scrip from the "dynamic mask":
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
getlimits = _root.normalpic.getBounds(_root);
if (_root._xmouse>=getlimits.xMin && _root._xmouse<=getlimits.xMax && root._ymouse>=getlimits.yMin && _root._ymouse<=getlimits.yMax) {
this._x = _root._xmouse;
this._y = _root._ymouse;
}}
I changed the size of the "normal pic" and it works lovely.. but it's on enterFrame... and I need to react on on press and on release.. : tried to adapt it but cant figure out how.. and besides the script don't allow movement along the edges (like I described above) and if you move the mouse fast enough the window stops short of the edge..
How can i make a MovieClip object drag able by the mouse? If i have two MovieClip instances, is it possible to make a new shape/MovieClip objects in that looks like a line and which will connect then? I have functions checking if the 'nodes' movie clip instances collide with the 'line' movie clip instances, now these all are different functions and conditional, but is it possible to check if ALL of them are true?

View 8 RepliesI have some timers running on a page that I am having trouble figuring out how to stop when I navigate away from that page, while the page is running.
The call is coming from a button on another movie clip, which is invoking a function on Main.as. The
function in Main.as does this:
public function goToIntro(){
removeChild(currentScreen);
intro = new Intro();

how to kill the timers from the removedHander function. I tried removing the event listeners but that causes other error messages. I tried doing a test if the listener is not null, then stopping it. That apparently never runs (I used trace statements to test it). I tried testing if the timer was .running and then stopping it, but that didnt work either.
I'm new to Adobe Flash CS4. I'm making an animation of some fish underwater. I have 2 small fish motion tweened to follow a large fish from left to right. When I view the animation in full screen the small fish seem to be wiped off the screen at a certain point. The tween box continues to follow it's path but the symbol disappears. This only seems to happen with larger objects.

I'm trying to create a movieclip that contains 6 different images. In this movieclip, I would like, for example, a mask that follows the mouse to reveal the next picture. (ex: Image 1 has a circle mask revealing Image 2. When clicked, Image 2 will now be at the front with a circle mask revealing Image 3. And then Image 6 will not have any mask but on click will go back to the beginning)I understand that a lot of it will be up to how I order them in the timeline and frames.My problem is that in my class, we've learned how to do this for TWO images only, and the only way for the mask to move is to use the MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP events (which is where the mask is only movable if you move it yourself.)It would be a big help if someone can first answer these questions:
1)What is the function called/is for instead of a MOUSE_DOWN/UP it will just simply follow the mouse?
2)Would I have to create 6 frames with, let's say, Image1 and Image2 on Frame 1, then Image2 and Image3 on Frame 2 etc? And each frame will have its own actions layer frame?
Basically I want to have a scrollable map ie. you can grab it with your mouse and move it. Exactly the way google maps works (although I'm not terribly concerned about the inertia effect that google maps has). But I also want to have objects on the map, that when the map is moved, they also move, but I can grab them individually also, and move the objects. Obviously when I nest these objects in the background symbol, they lose their independence and therefore can't be moved separately from the map. And I've been having difficulty making the objects follow the map, while maintaining their own position (they just snap to the maps position).

View 3 RepliesI've been trying to figure this out for a while now and cannot get it to work. I have a movieclip that can be moved up, down, left and right with the arrow keys, and reflected/flipped using the arrow and control keys together. However, I want to be able to use the arrow keys and shift to rotate the movieclip about a point with x co-ordinate 230 and y co-ordinate 180, regardless as to whether or not the movie clip has been moved up, left, etc.I've tried several different codes based on examples I've found online, but none have worked. I cannot make sure the centre point of rotation never changes.

View 3 RepliesI have a button control set up to switch my program from windowed mode to fullscreen, and back again.
This is just 2 buttons that alternate frames in a movieclip.
I was wondering if there was a way to keep the movieclip locked to the upper right corner of the program when the user switches between windowed and fullscreen modes.
The code for the buttons; if needed, is:
//Fullscreen button
on (press) { fscommand("FullScreen","True"); }on (release) { gotoAndStop(2); }
//Window button
on (press) { fscommand("FullScreen","False"); }on (release) { gotoAndStop(1); }
