ActionScript 2.0 :: [CS3] Rotating Using Mouse Coordinates

Mar 12, 2008

I'm trying to create a simple site that when you move the mouse to the right of the screen a movie clip rotates one way abt 45 degrees and moves the other way when the mouse moves to the left.

I'm trying to get the effect of a horizon line rotating to the mouses movement around the screen.

Finding The Mouse X And Y Coordinates?

Apr 18, 2011

I'd like to use the x and y mouse coordinates as variables in a program. I'm very new to Flash and ActionScript and I'm not even sure which classes I need to import or which listeners or handlers I need to use.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Mouse Coordinates In FF 3.6 On Mac OSX 10.6.3?

Jun 2, 2010

I have encountered really bad problem in one of our Flex projects. For some reason Flash can't get mouse coordinates properly. It returns something like (-107374182.4, -107374182.4) instead of good numbers. This happens when I'm using MOUSE_MOVE event in FF 3.6 on Mac OSX 10.6.3 with Flash Player 10. I have drag-n-drop in this projects, so with such ugly huge coords object goes far out of stage. Can't find solution in web, but there are some relative notes found...

For example, some info regarding 107374182.4 number can be found in internet.It seems 107374182.4 is something like NaN equivalent for some versions of Flash Player.Also I have found some notes regarding wrong mouse handling on Mac.The most interesting words there are: "on OSX it takes at least 1 frame to register the mouse's position". But it seems in my case it affects not only first frame after MOUSE_DOWN fired.Finally, there are movie on YouTube that demonstrates MOUSE_MOVE bug on FF/Mac.

I have tried:

- to get MouseEvent.stageX, MouseEvent.stageY (problem encountered);

- to get DisplayObject.root.mouseX, DisplayObject.root.mouseY (problem still appear, coordinates are bad);

- to use startDrag, stopDrag (it looks bugged too);

- to embed SWF into HTML with different wmode values.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Mouse X And Y Coordinates?

I need to get the mouse x and y coords for a game I'm making. I know how to do it with fererence to another movie clip, button, textbox, ... but not to the stage.If all else fails, I will attach a movie clip at (0,0) and then get the x and y coords from there, but if there is a simpler way, I would like to do that.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Mouse Coordinates In An If Statement?

Sep 29, 2011

how to put mouse coordinates into an if statement, but as an 'if more than' but also 'if less than'. Something like:

Code:
if (mouseX > 190, but also <210) {
//do something
}

Is it possible to also do a similar thing to also include the Y position, to create a box of some sorts based on mouse position?
Something like:

Code:
if (mouseX > 190, but also < 210, mouseY > 20, but also < 100) {
//do something
}

I think it may have something to with setting each position as a var and pushing them into an array, but I can't get my head around it.

Flex :: Obtain Item For Mouse X/y Coordinates?

Nov 24, 2009

my mission is to select an item in a DataGrid instance with nothing but the coordinates on screen.

We are implementing right-click functionality in our Flash application, with the goal of being able to right-click a DG row, which would select that row plus show a popup window containing some context commands.

I have managed to get the right click event into my Flex app with the help of this site.

Further progress so far has been to obtain the DataGrid instance via

var objects : Array = this.getObjectsUnderPoint(new Point(this.mouseX, this.mouseY));

and then to investige each of the array's items, for one of those 'parent.parentList' refers to the DataGrid instance.

I couldn't find any point-to-item converter function or anything.

PS: Using the standard Flash ContextMenu is, unfortunately, not an option.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Tracking Mouse Coordinates Into Array

Mar 9, 2004

I've been reading through all the various threads related to the drawing API and saving drawings. About a hundred times I've seen mention of "log mouse positions into an array" and stuff like that, but I can't find any clear and simple examples of how to do this. Let's take a very simple use of the drawing object to do freeform drawing. What is the AS to capture the mouse XYs as the user draws and put that into an array. I can't figure out how to get Flash to keep updating things as I go, it invariably grabs the fist point and that's it.

Let's use the most basic drawing example I can find:
[AS]_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line",1);
_root.onMouseDown = function(){
line.moveTo(_xmouse,_ymouse);
line.lineStyle(0,0x000000,100);
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
line.lineTo(_xmouse,_ymouse);
}}
_root.onMouseUp = function(){
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}[/AS]

Where/what gets added to just capture all those _xmouse and _ymouse?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Rotating A Movieclip Using The Mouse?

I have been trying to convert this effect into AS3 but have been having majour issues : rotate clip

I have an object (class) with a handle, when dragged I would like the clip to rotate with the mouse (much like rotating an object in photoshop). I have put my code into an ENTER_FRAME event, and have been using a matrix object to do my rotation (is there an easier way?)

Code:
private function rotateClip(e:Event)
{
myMatrix.rotate((Math.floor(180*Math.atan2(mouseX,mouseY)/Math.PI)+90));

was my attempt at converting the code from the example link. I've also tried various other methods using trig to no avail.

Object Following Mouse, Rotating Left And Right?

Oct 11, 2010

I am working in AS2 and I have a flash project that is almost complete but I would like 1 thing modified.I have a fish image following my mouse.

(script below)
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.yChange = Math.round(_root._ymouse-this._y);[code]...........

The problem is that I would like the fish image to "turn" and face the direction of the mouse. Currently, as is, the fish follows the mouse fine when the mouse is moving to the right, but when it goes to the left the fish swims backwards rather than turns and swims the correct way following the mouse to the left.How would I modify the script to get the fish to turn and always swim forward when going left and right?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Rotating Circle By Mouse?

Jan 31, 2010

I have been working on this and thinking about it for days but I just can't seem to get it right. I want to have a circle that I can "pick up" with the mouse and then rotate (with the rotation point in the center). Currently I have done this with the following code:


PHP Code:

 var radians = Math.atan2(mouseY-circle.y, mouseX-circle.x); var degrees = Math.round((radians*180/Math.PI));  circle.rotation = degrees + 90; 

I have added a mouse listener for movement to the circle mc and then checked if a button was down. On button down this code would be executed on enter frame. This code works but the main problem is that I want to be able to "pick the circle up" at any angle and rotate it. If I pick it up with this code the circle automatically rotates to 90 degrees.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Updating Mouse Coordinates Inside Loops?

Aug 31, 2011

I'm figuring out a way to update my mouse x and y inside a loop. In this small test block, I'm tracing the mouseX and mouseY twice. The first one is outside a loop. The second one is inside a loop.

When I test the SWF, you can see that the first trace changes constantly and seamlessly. But when you hold your mouse down, the code starts tracing the 2nd trace. Even though the mouse is down and moving, the mouseX and mouseY traced is not changing.

Actionscript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;import flash.events.Event;var mouseIsUp:Boolean = true;stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDown);stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,

[Code]....

Closely related to the main question, when you click the stage, you would get 100 lines of the 2nd trace. Is there a way to break the loop as soon as the mouse is up?

Actionscript 3 :: Mouse - Local X And Y Coordinates Of Display Object?

May 27, 2010

i'm trying to trace the x and y coordinates from within a sprite. i've added a rectangle to the stage:

var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(10, 10, 200, 200);
addChild(rect);
rect.x = rect.y = 100;

adding a Mouse_Move event to the rect, i can trace mouseX and mouseY to receive the coordinates of the stage while moving over the rect, but how do i get the local x and y coordinates? so if i mouse over the very top left of the rect sprite, the mouseX and mouseY return 10 as the global coordinates, but how do i make it return 0 and the local coordinates of the sprite?

i assumed localX and localY was what i was looking for, but this doesn't work:

function mouseOverTraceCoords(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
trace(mouseX, mouseY, evt.localX, evt.localY);
}

Flex :: Display A Tooltip Only If The Mouse Cursor Is Within Certain Coordinates?

Feb 24, 2011

Within my component, I'm drawing some rectangles as below:

[Code]...

I need to display a custom tooltip for each rectange when the mouse cursor is hovering over it.

How can I do this? I'm using the MouseMove event to track when the cursor moves over these coordinates (that part is working), but when I change the tooltip text it's not refreshing

private function this_MOUSE_MOVE(event:MouseEvent):void

[code]...

EDIT: The problem seems to be with the following line:

ToolTipManager.destroyToolTip(_myToolTip);


If I comment out the preceding line, it will display the new tooltip, but it will keep creating new ones and the old ones never get removed. But if I add that line, it doesn't add any tooltips! Is the code not being executed sequentially, i.e., is the code to remove the tooltip somehow getting executed after the code to add the tooltip?

ActionScript 3 :: Inaccurate Mouse Coordinates Of Display Object?

Jul 29, 2011

When tracing the mouseX / mouseY or localX / localY coordinates of a display object, why does x start at 1 while y starts at 0? For example, I've drawn a simple 400 x 400 pixel sprite onto the stage with a MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE event listener that calls a handler function to trace the local coordinates of the mouse. The first, top-left pixel returns {x:1, y:0} and the last, bottom-right pixel returns {x:400, y:399}. Shouldn't both the x and y start and end with the same value? I'm not sure which makes more sense for a the first mouse coordinate (either 0 or 1) but it certainly doesn't make sense that they are different?

[SWF(width = "1000", height = "600", backgroundColor = "0xCCCCCC")]
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var darkBlueRect:Sprite = createSprite();
darkBlueRect.x = 23;

ActionScript 3.0 :: MultiTouch - EnterFrame Not Updating Coordinates Of Mouse

function checkMouseDir(e:Event):void {

I am trying to use the ENTER_FRAME to update the coordinate of my mouse when the mouse click is down but when I extend to touch, the enter frame doesn't seems to work, because my mouse is no more on that stage, the enter frame cannot locate the movement of my mouse on the SimTouch neither on CCV. What other method I should use so that I can check the coordinate of my mouse or finger movement on the flash platform?
