ActionScript 2.0 :: Constraining StartDrag() To Diagonal Line?
Apr 23, 2008
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.

how can i constrain the dragging of my movieClip inside the shape of a trapezoid? here's the code..
Code:
pamato.onPress = function()
{
startDrag(this, false, 1000, 270, 130, 605);[code]....

Is there a way to have a MovieClip with startDrag, but to force only horizontal and vertical (i.e. not diagonal) movement?

how to draw a diagonal line that looks sharp and not pixelated? Straight lines are easy, but I can't figure it out for diagonal lines.

Currently, I am using the code below. But it is telling me that the circle is starting to hit the line when it's y position is 40. But since the circle actually isn't crossing the line itself (virtually) until it's y position is at about 205, I don't want the trace-action called so early.
Code:
var circle: Sprite = new Sprite();
circle.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
circle.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 10);
circle.x = 170;

I used some code that I found, I think even from you guys the scale an external swf being loaded onto a background movie clip. Works great with the exception that it clips some text and creates some funny diagonal lines and some poor picture quality. I have a feeling that this is down to a slight difference in sizing some where along the line. The stage size is 2560 x 1440 being scaled down to any size, but as I mentioned I don't think the height and width are quite in sync for the widescreen format.
[URL]
// perform initial size check
checkStageSize();
// register to re-check when stage size changes
stage.addEventListener( Event.RESIZE, onResize, false, 0, true );

I am trying to line up two MCS with a button using startDrag, but when I click to drag, the two MCS are not lined up, and the two MCS do not stop in the final position of the button that uses startDrag. Look the example: [URL]

i have an .as class that extends mx.containers.Canvas (it's a draggable border of a resizable component), it becomes draggable on MOUSE_DOWN and stops being draggable on MOUSE_UP, MOUSE_OUT and ROLL_OUT. before calling startDrag() i create a Rectangle to define the drag area, i also have a _dragging: Boolean variable to control if it's draggable at the moment. the problem is that when i click this border it jumps to a negative coordinate without calling startDrag or switching _dragging to true.
i've overriden get x, set x, get y, set y and move() methods in order to solve it but the only thing i got was the fact that position changes without calling coords setters or move(), but at the moment it's changed a getter is called and returns new (negative) value so my question is what happens on startDrag() and how to filter unwanted incoming coords values?

as you can see, I have a container MC which I have added to the stage. I set its drag constraints using a Rectangle(). I then add the 'cat' child movieclip to the container, and I want this to be dragable too. However, as soon as I click on my cat when testing the MC. It shoots to point x=0 y=0 on the stage and doesn't move.
The container MC can be moved without any trouble.
If I remove the rectangle bounds from the containers startdrag() function. both MC's can be dragged without any issue.
//panning ability
my_x = 800 - myImage.width;
my_y = 480 - myImage.height;

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 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 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;

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]............

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 downloaded a royalty free flash file, that had a text effect I want for a menu of a project of mine. It didn't had much info, so I bought it, only to find out everything is pretty much done with AS2 (I think, may be AS1).
The thing is I want this menu in diagonal position (4�)
By default I only see:

How would I go about making diagonal link like this one.I drew a retangle so that my text would fit in, select both text and rectangle, F8 turn into button,then I turn them 45degree. When hover the text change color the way I want, but the problem is that the button enters the hover state way too soon when my mouse isnt over the rectangle yet.Seems like as long as my mouse falls within x and y coordinates of the text then it goes into hover state.For example my mouse is under the diagonal box, not in yet, but right under the text and it would go into hover state.

instead of the grid fading horizontally or vertically, have the grid fade diagonally, or have it fade corner square, then left square beside it and top square above it (corner square) at the same time, then the ones beside those etc. as transition for the image below it, for a screen saver (5 or 6 images in a row). Also I was wondering if this diagonal grid (assuming it can be done) can be done with other shapes (instead of squares).

How would you script the movement limitations to create a diagonal slider? Im not looking for anything tricky. Just a plain 45 degree, .785 rads, um i think angle movement.My current Horizontal slider is as follows.
onClipEvent (load) {
min=50;
max=400;

What I need to do is find the rectangle of a rotated rectangle. I have a house that is diagonal and I need to find the rectangle of the bottom of the house so I can check for collisions. I was hoping to use the rectangles to find intersections. Something like - if (playerRect.intersects(houseRect.bottom){ do something };Every time I try to get the rectangle of a rotated rectangle, all I get is the bounding box which is not rotated.

here is the existing chunk of code:
if (status != FlexFieldInfo.EDITABLE) {
setToolTip(uiComponent, status, entityForm);
graphics.beginFill(0xFFABC0);
graphics.drawRect(0, 0, unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
graphics.endFill();
i would like to replace the background color with a tiling background-image. i understand that "graphics." can only fill or draw. i understand the chunk of "graphics." in the code above needs to change to something else, but i am at a loss of how to call the following image: background-image: Embed("images/bg-uneditableField.jpg");
I have searched high and low unsuccessfully. I am a front-end developer just stepping in to our Flex 3 environment and am not a strong javascript/.as person. Note: our application needs to stay in Flex 3, upgrading is not an option at this time.
