I 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?

View 2 Repliesi just wanted to know if it is possible to check in mouse event whether the object is grabbed or not in Action Script.
For example: youtube video player is also built in flash. and when we grab the track, it just stays with the mouse pointor and when we release it. it stops wherever we left it.

View 6 RepliesI would like to know how to perform a check on the direction of the movement of the mouse on stage like let us say considering the stage.height/2 as the center if the mouse moves up it should trace up and down if it moves down... I did it by storing all the _ymouse coordinates in temp array and chking if temp[i]>temp[i-1] but it doesn't work satisfactorily. i am posting the script i made...i do admit i am very bad in calculations so correct me if i went wrong somewhere

See [URL] Now there is a button called Answera, which when clicked should have a symbol (movie clip) called Check appear at the cordinated specified. Check exists in the libary (but does not have an instance name) and no where else on the stage. when I run this code I get: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Check. -> var rightCheck = new Check(); How is it undefinded if it exists in the libary?
View 7 RepliesThe following is my codes. This is still work in progress; so, you will see some functions with empty contents. Plus, this is my first Flex application; please bear with me. This is a quiz application that gets the questions and answers to each questions from a ColdFusion web service. There are three types of questions, True or False, Multiple Choice with single selection, and Multiple Choice with multiple selections. So, based upon the question type, the application would dynamically generate the appropriate amount of radio buttons or check boxes for the users to select. I got these working. The problem that I am having is, I am not sure how to check what the users have actually selected. In some other forums and posts on other web site, it said that I can use event.currentTarget.selectedValue to get the user selection. But when I actually do it, I got a run-time error saying, "Property selectedValue not found on mx.controls.FormItem and there is no default value." My question is, what do I need to do to capture the user selections?

I have designed a menu that When you mouse over it, a custom cursor appears. When you mouse down it disappears and when you mouse up it returns. If you happen to mouse down and then drag the mouse off of the menu (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up outside the menu, the custom cursor disappears. All good. The only issue is: If you happen to mouse down on the menu and then drag the mouse off of the menu AND off of the stage, i.e the SWF (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up completely off of the stage, the custom cursor appears at the point it left the menu. I have tried to fix this using MOUSE_LEAVE but this dosnt work when the mouse button is pressed down. I have attached an FLA, SWF and the AS below.
Code:
stop();
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

I have a map application that when I use the mouse wheel the map will scale up or scale down. The next thing I want to do is to focus on the mouse pointer while zooming on the part of the map.
I have this code...
function focusMousePosition(){ onMouseMove = function (){ Stage.width = _root._xmouse; Stage.height = _root._ymouse; updateAfterEvent(); }}
var mouseWheelListener = new Object();var wheelNum:Number;
mouseWheelListener.onMouseWheel = function(wheelNum){ focusMousePosition(); if (wheelNum > 0){ map._xscale *= 0.9; map._yscale *= 0.9; }else{ map._xscale *= 1.1; map._yscale *= 1.1; }}Mouse.addListener(mouseWheelListener);
I have a very simple piece of code but it has one very annoying bug. When I press the button a second time, the code doesn't work. The only way to get the code to work is by moving the mouse a tiny bit, or moving the mouse off the button and back on. make a button that can be clicked many times without moving the mouse?
