View 2 RepliesI would like to constantly (with an interval) check if the mouse is inside a movieclip or not. I think this should be done with hitTest, but I'm not quite sure how to use it.

View 3 RepliesIt is a small widget. It lives in an iframe, and because of this, this method is not working. And since the iframe is loaded from a different domain there is no way to reach the top level window object.

"With the recent new 10.3 player this should be much easier, since there are new events for this specific situation."
So, using a simple flash object, and maybe js callbacks this might be the solution, but what are theese events?
I have a class called Mouse (tracking button states in a game). I want that class to be able to show and hide the mouse cursor. Whenever I try to use flash.ui.Mouse.show() or flash.ui.Mouse.hide() I get the error: "Access of undefined property flash.".
I can't import flash.ui.Mouse for obvious reasons.
Is there a way to make this work? What's the point of packages if they don't resolve these collisions?

View 4 RepliesI work with 3d animation. Im have a problem with a personal website Im doing, I have a link in a button inside a flash movie to open a new window and play a youtube movie:
on (release) {
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.youtube.com/v/b0L4XLODhAA&hl=en&fs=1&','win','height=344,width=4 25,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
}
This works fine in Firefox but in IE it doesnt work, I then change the /v/ in the youtube link with /p.swf?video_id= and now I have the window open showing the small youtube thumbnail of my video but once a click play, nothing happens, I check it and is not loading anything.
I saw this flash game from Orisinal where you caught cute flies by drawing a grid around the flies with same colour. The they grew larger.
1: How do you draw and fill a shape at runtime
2: How do you check what's inside the shapes boundaries ?
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 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 check if a clicked element is inside of an IVisualElement in Flex 4. So I want something like "if this element is in this element, then execute function". I'm aware of the 'parent' property but this doesn't seem to work when my element is not a direct child of the element but for example 3 levels deep.
View 1 Repliesthis current situation as i cant seem to find a solution anywhere.The Coding are below:
ActionScript Code:
var xmlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Beginner.xml");
var xmlloader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

i need to check if a point is within a rotated rectangle. I have to do this mathematically, as none of the objects are on the stage so i can't use hitTestPoint. I know the position and rotation of the rectangle, and if necessary can get the four corners as points as well.
I kind of feel silly asking this, because i am pretty sure it's not a hard thing to do, i just can't work it out and so far any google searches just bring up hitTestPoint.
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?

I'm converting an old AS2 file into AS3 (and trying to learn AS3 at the same time).A movie clip contains a number of different animated sequences and buttons within the application trigger these different sequences.The buttons are functional only when an animation has completed playing.
In AS2, I achieved this with a var called _root.animating which was initially set to "false" and switched to true when the animation played and switched back to false at the end of the anim sequence. The buttons checked this var when clicked. Here is some of the AS2.[code]...

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.
