ActionScript 2.0 :: Constraining Movement >function_move?
Jun 12, 2009
I have a split screen view with a large image above and a smaller image underneath.There is a zoom window over the smaller image that when dragged around shows the larger image above it being moved at the same time (just that it's bigger uptop)
anyways I can't seem to constrain the movement of the smaller movie clip ... right now you can just click and drag it all over the place ... and I'll like for it to stay dragable only over top of the smaller image...and here is the code in the root.
// The base_mag_factor is the correlation of the small picture to the big picture...
_root.base_mag_factor = 5;
// The mag_factor will change as scaling occurs
_root.mag_factor = _root.base_mag_factor;
[code].....

I am interested in rotating an object around a central pivot point, on command from two buttons (a + button, and a - button).
This file would essencially be a clock hand, or dot representing the hand, being rotated either clockwise or counter clockwise manually by a plus and minus button.
Things I am unclear about:
1) what forms of syntax, variables, etc, would I need to accomplish this task? I am unclear about the proper protocol for setting up this movement.
2) I have a specific background graphic that all this will be happing on top of, how do I find the desired pivot point coordinates (i am assuming the pivot point is defined by an x and y) in relation to my background graphic?

I've got a problem with containing properly the .swf on my (main menu) site. Because the external .SWF's got a parralax effect it overlaps the swf above also the .swf is not nicely stretched out. This is the effect on my site that I want www.seniorict.com but as you look at the zip/fla(menu test) you see the complete file and how the effects are not working well.

I am using the following code on the main timeline
Mouse.hide();
target.onMouseMove = function() {
this._x = _xmouse;
[Code]....
And on the movie clip (target) that i am using for the custom pointer, i've put
onClipEvent (load) {
startDrag(true);
}
How can i constrain the pointer to an area of lets say 800x600 ?

I'm doing liquid layouts, and resizing my images while constraining proportions. Here is the code I'm using:
Code:
image.y = (stage.stageHeight/2) - (image.height/2)
resizeMe(image, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
//The resizing function
[Code].....
I want it to resize and totally centre itself in the middle of the screen. HOWEVER. I also want to nudge it down 100px, and THEN resize it. I'm having no luck with this though I can move it down 100 px, but then it resizes and positions itself as though it was still in the centre.

I want to create a MovieClip symbol of a certain width and height, but with content that extends outside its boundaries, with the option to have the external content be clipped/hidden or visible.
In Flex, the solution would be to create a group with .clipAndEnableScrolling = true.
Is there a way to do this in Flash CS5, or will the symbol always resolve to the size of its contents?

I have the following code to create a ViewStack which is used as a dataprovider for a TabBar:
<s:TabBar id="objectTab" dataProvider="{vs_objects}"/>
<mx:ViewStack id="vs_objects" width="100%" />
I want to constrain the number of children the ViewStack to avvoid the tabs going out of the screen when the user opens many tabs without closing any. I attempt to do this by removing the oldest element in the ViewStack when the user opens a new tab and the size of the ViewStack is above 9.
private function openTab(object:Object): void {
//Create a new NavigatorContent(form) and add it to the ViewStack[code].........
The image below illustrates my problem, where the dark grey color illustrates the selected Tab. There should only be one selected tab, which works perfectly fine with both the child selection approaches above, when i don't remove a child before selecting a new. When i remove a child and then open a new Tab, the new Tab does not get selected properly, it only gets "painted" in the selected color. In This case Tab 40 is still shown when i open Tab 41 (exceeding 9 tabs). The result of this issue is that Tab 41 is not rendered completely.
UPDATE: The problem was my AS3 code inside the childrens NavigatorContent's that caused the application to behave this way. The solution was using the callLater method:Doric's
code example:
protected function openTab():void
{
var form:Container = new Container();[code]............

I'm working on a volume slider for a type of jukebox and what I'm using is an actual drawing that is on an angle, therefore the volume slider and handle aren't in a straight horizontal line.I've done the basic code to keep the handle within the distance of my slider "line" (left to right), but what I have obviously just constrains it to a rectangle.
on(press){
this.startDrag(false,0,0,32,9);
}
on(release){
this.stopDrag();
}
The slider and handle are both at actual size, that's why it's only 32 pixels wide that I need it to go across and 9 pixels down. I do realize that for what I want, it's much more involved than this simple startDrag code with 4 sets of numbers in it.I'm including the source file in Flash 8/Actionscript 2.0.

I need to know if there is any way to constrain the mouse movements on a startDrag to a line that is not going vertically or horizontally. I'm sure I'll need to use some trig functions, and that's fine, I just haven't been able to find this done anywhere else.

Basically, I have a custom "scrub bar" graphic in which the user can drag a slider forward or backward in time to scrub/seek to a certain point in an external F4V.I have my slider constrained by a rectangle of 1 pixel in height. But when I click with mouse to scrub, my mouse cursor tends to move off of the slider graphic, causing problems with my MOUSE_UP event. (It can't trigger when my mouse is not over the target object).Is there a way like "new Rectangle(32,713,944.1)" to keep the mouse from moving in the Y-axis as the user drags the slider left and right to scrub video?

I'm making a fluid full browser flash site, and things are coming together nicely, but at some point, if the stage size gets too small (such as if someone is using a 800x600 resolution), things just don't look right. Things get all smooshed together and cause for a cluttered mess. To solve this, I put constraints on my stageResize function so the stage would only shrink down to a desired size. This worked great for the flash file, but I can't get the browser to add scroll bars are this point. I figured I would need a JavaScript file that would size the browser (or the div that contains the swf) and then constrain it as needed, but after digging around a few sites that perform the way I would like mine to, I am not seeing any such JavaScript files.

I have a mc (fStrip) which looks like a piece of filmstrip with thumbnail images in it. I want this mc to move when the users mouse is positioned over it, but I only want it to move only along it's x-axis and in a direction opposite that of the mouse. And I want it to move or flow smoothly.
I've been trying to figure this out (see my lame attempt below) but without much luck.
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
buffer=20 //movement buffer
mousePos=_root.fStrip._xmouse //store mouse position
if (mymouse!=_root.fStrip._xmouse){ //if the mouse has moved

I wish to get the effect of ants scuttering across the screen or up a tree, I have not decided which direction yet. I started with the tutorial code for the snow effect from kirupa, and changed it around to fit the little vector ant I created. The way I have it now looks pretty good, but the movement is a little too fluid. They obviously move in sinusoidal paths bc the code tells them to. I have about 20 copies of the main obj, and they're all a little different in size and specs (speed, transparency, etc) but what I was wondering was if there is any way I can change the code to make it a little more hectic, or erratic, not so fluid. If there is no way of doing so, it looks pretty good right now. If there is, however, I think it could look awesome. here's the code I'm using for the object.
onClipEvent (load) {
//stage
movieWidth = 850;
movieHeight = 50;

I have a Mogli (Junglebook-like) Character that i got to move with the arrow keys on the keyboard.
I want the character to jump (so for example , he must while moving to the right of the "gamearea" , you must be able to hit a key (say for example the "control" key ) and then the character must jump ( go up ) and as soon as the key is released he must obviously come down.
And also how do one set movement speed on any particular movement.

I have a project in flash. The most simple part of the animation renders horribly. I am trying to get the animation of the year 2009 in letters that occupy most of the 500x500px screen to go from left to right. No extra movement. no twisting. nothing special. just sliding left to right. I tried making the file a bitmap, vector art, creating the actual image in flash. Everything comes in with lines through them in some places that come and go away as the image progresses through the screen. It also looks like the image stumbles a little but then keeps going, if you are really lucky, you'll be able to see a few lines running through the letters, but they dissapear right away. The is nothing interfering with the timeline, I have tried setting the fps rate from 12 to 30 to 60 to 120. It gets better but does not eliminate the problem. I tried reducing the image size down to small letter less then 1/5 of the screen, but still the problem persists. I really need the letters to be large on the screen and flow across smoothly. I also tried importing the file as a whole 2009, tried importing numbers seperatly 2, 0, 0, 9 and have them float, i tried making an object in flash that is not a number - but just a rectangle, it has the same problem.I also tried animating it in different ways - creating a starting keyframe and the last keyframe and creating a motion tween between them (the normal regular way). I tried placing a few keyframes in the middle and linking them all. I tried creating keyframes for every frame within the animation, which actually made it run the smoothest.
The file I included has just the 2 moving across the page at 120 fps, with a keyframe in every frame of the animation. I am starting to think that the rendering in not the issue of flash but rather of the lcd screen's refresh rate, video card and ram, as well as other mechanical factors. However the not-so-technical-clients need to be satisfied .

I'm trying to make a dummy from a circular menu that reacts (rotate) to mouse movement, I uploaded a fla example, different colors, size, etc, but essentially the same in
function; but for now I'm freezed how to do somethings, I'm not a programer or actionscripter, but I want to learn.Currently using CS3 and AS2, downloading the FLA example may help.
Ok, in the "fla", you will see a circle who rotates versus mouse movement (I would like to make a delay rotation for a smooth feelling when mouse is moving, those like "_x += (_xmouse/5)" but with rotation. Other thing I would like to do,is... that the movement stops progressively a few degrees before the mouse reach de cian angles(a1,a2), and then, the circles doesn't move if the mouse is moving under those angles, like a... an inactive area(U1), and if it could work with instances.
