ActionScript 2.0 :: Drag And Drop Interface Navigation?
Jul 2, 2008
I am about to make my portfolio site in which I'd like to have a drag and drop interface similar to these sites [URL] and [URL] where you have to drag to advance the page. Also I am assuming they are using empty movie clips to load in XML data. i am wondering how to make the drag transition bring the next or previous picture in together with the current one, and how far do you need to drag before the other one takes over? Do they just use 1 or 3 empty clips or MC for however many pictures there are with each empty MC assigned one of the XML links?

I'm developing an application that will randomize a list of words, and display them to the user. The user will then be able to drag the box containing each word over a Cartesian plane, and drop it anywhere they like. They will also be able to link various words together on the same plane. Once a user has completed these tasks, I want to update a database with that user's data - the coordinates of each word, as well as any parent words that may exist for each word. I started developing the application in Flex, but I'm running into problems integrating the data manipulation. It might just be me, but I find the way Flex is structured to be very counter-intuitive. I'm playing around with shifting the project over to perhaps a JQuery build. I'm proficient in neither JQuery nor Flex, however, and I'm not sure which one will be easier to pick up and develop a working prototype with.

Trying to build a drag and drop navigation, all the drag and drop works great, the test for the hit works ie if its on the target it centers the drag clip over the target, if its of the target the drag clip returns to its start postion. What I cannot get right is the code to check if the target already has a clip on it, if it has that clip needs to return to its start position, so we only ever have one drag clip on the target.
Code timeline:
Initialize vars
left = 10;
right = 500;
top = 10;
bottom = 380;
speed = 10;
targetX = targetSpot_mc._x;
targetY = targetSpot_mc._y;

I want to create an interface navigatable through keyboard. The interface is somewhat like nested DVD menus, and it is not known in advance how many buttons there will be or where they will be placed. So for example you would be on button 1, if you press right, the closest button to the right would be selected. how would I go about enabling this? The purpose is to enable keyboard navigation for complex management screens for a game I am doing;
I would like this to be as independant and reusable as possible, which means I would like it to work with any clickable object, not just buttons, and certainly not my own custom class of buttons. This also means the buttons might be placed through the flash IDE and so placing them on a grid is not an option (I'd like this to be easy to use for non-techies).
My thinking goes like this: add all buttons to a manager, then select the first one, then on keypress, triangulate and select the closest in an angle of (+45degrees,-45degrees) of direction pressed. But it seems overkill to me, and I guess in some edge cases, some buttons will be forever unselectable.

I'm trying to make a simulation where a person can drag 2 different objects to any 4 predefined targets on the stage. Based on the position of the 2 objects there will be a different output text. I hope I described that clearly. I would also like the 2 objects to snap to the 4 targets. Im very new to AS. Im starting to be able to read it a bit but still can not wright it.

Im trying to do a drag and drop system where the user can drag a movie clip into an area. Although i would like to make it snap to a target instead of just sitting wherever it lands in the area. Problem Two:
The next thing i am trying to do is when the user has a movie clip on a target already, and trys to put another movie clip in that target area, it will replace the one thats in there and go back to its current position. Here is the script of what i have done so far:

I have added drag and drop to some of my custom components.The drag event is fired on mouse down.If you mouse down and move the component around then drop it repeatedly its fine.But if you mousedown and drag the component around drop it and THEN just click on the component it inits the drag but doesn't fire the drop event.Its almost like you have to move the component for it to fire the drag drop event.This is very annoying as i'm removing the component on drag init and adding it again on drop, so just clicking on it makes it disappear.

I am creating an interactive website so it can be viewed where there is no internet.Each section of the website is split in to different movie clips with the navigation itself being a movie clip on a different layer.Currently I am able to jump to the beginning of frame 1 of a MC then able to navigate to frame 2 but unable to go back to frame 1 through the nav.My biggest problem is jumping to frame 2 of a MC.

[URL] how the navigation/drop down menu on this site was created--from a technical stand point? I'd like to try something similar, but don't know where to start i.e. how are the elements of the menu situated on the timeline? What sort of actions are behind the buttons? Etc...

I'm trying to create a navigation system that relies on the user dragging on a wheel in order to rotate it into a specific position: [URL]. The problem I have is that whenever a drag is initiated, the wheel jumps to a position where it points the zero-rotation point (indicated in the example by the red dashline) at the mouse direction. Whenever the drag is ended, the wheel stays at the position where the mouse has left it, which is correct.
However, when another drag is initiated, the same thing reoccurs - the dashed red line jumps to point towards the direction of the mouse. In short, I need the wheel to drag/rotate directly from the position where it was previously left or where it is by default. It shouldn't matter from which position the user drags the wheel. The code is located in the script of the wheel-movieClip, and is as follows:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
this.onPress = function(){
// when the mouse presses on the wheel
this.onMouseMove = function(){
// get an angle to the mouse using atan2 (gets radians)
var angle = Math.atan2(this._parent._ymouse-this._y,this._parent._xmouse-this._x);
[Code] .....
How to implement it so that the wheel rotation is independent from the position of mouse, while it is dragged.

I am developing a simple drag and drop game..except my draggable items are in a movie clip and my targets are also in a movie clip. My draggable objects work fine, they drag and snap back into place when the mouse is let go, but... they dont snap to their targets.They do snap to their targets when they are directly on the timeline, but inside another movie clip it doesnt work and i can't figure out why.[code]

Basically, there will be two images, which participants are to choose between. Below the pairs of images will be a horizontal bar with arrows at both opposite ends. I would like the participant to be able to drag and drop a small rectangle somewhere along the bar to represent their choice (and the degree of their endorsement).Basically, I'm asking how to make an interactive scrollbar on its side (without buttons, just the drag). I would also like it to start in the middle of the bar and be able to be moved in either direction.

I've dynamically created a bunch of MCs from a single MC in the library.
Inside the MC's timeline, I have written drag and drop code.
The MC's reside in a parent movieclip, that then resides in a scrollpane.
I was wondering if it's possible to write AS3 to drag the clips into another movieclip?
If not the way I have it, is it possible at all to drag MC's from one container MC to another?
