I need to drag and drop a movie clip onto a certain area and if the position it landed is right I do not want the users to be able to drag the clip again. How can I stop the clip being dragable?
View 2 RepliesI am wondering if I can write an IF statement that is a movieclip is drag and drop into a certain area that an event occurs. Everything I try seems not to work any idea?
View 2 RepliesIm 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:

Can We set drag & drop area in flash?
for example, i want to drag a movie clip in the sample_mc, and i want to move only sample_mc's area, it doenst move out of sample mc.
My drag code is
Code:
drag_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopMove);
// Functions
function startMove(evt:MouseEvent):void {
drag_mc.startDrag();
}
i add a picture about i want to do.
Im trying to think how i fix this problem. i have a map at the stage and its big, i need to click and move it. But when i get the final of the image, i continue move it and appears the stage.
How i lock the image when it get the final to dont appear the stage? the cod that im using is:
map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, move)
map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, drop)
function drag (e:Mouse Event)
{ e.target.stargDrag();
}

View 8 Repliesif this is posted elsewhere I searched but could not find topic. I would like to know if there is a way to enlarge the size of the target drop point. Seems the users have to be spot on or the shape snaps back.
Any way to give users a little more wiggle room with target drops?
I have a canvas,lets say of dimensions 500x600. I have some controls inside that canvas.User can rearrange the controls by drag and drop. But I want to restrict the drag and drop within that canvas. For example: There is a button in the canvas. User can drag and drop the button anywhere inside the canvas.But if the user tries to drag the button out of the canvas boundaries, it should stick in the canvas boundary. How to achieve this?
View 2 RepliesI have 20 squares, each one has a different number(1, 2, 3, etc.) The number is in a dynamic text box which is centered above the square( the square is a Sprite object called "MySquare".) I would like to make the squares drag and droppable. When I test the movie, the arrow cursor becomes a vertical line when over the number. I can click on the edge of the square but then the cursor automatically goes to the center and the compiler returns the error: property StopDrag not found on flash.text.textField.
Here is ActionScript Code:
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;
var m1:MySquare = new MySquare();
m1.theText.text="1";
addChild(m1);

I want the user to be able to drag 3 items onto a target area, which will then activate a button.All i'm after is the code rather than a complete guide
View 5 RepliesI am trying to create an application for students to visualize their course schedules.I have rectangles representing each class, which students can drag and drop to build their schedule.I would like the students to be able to type in the course number and name before adding it to the schedule.I have the drag-and-drop working, and editable text working. owever, when I try to edit the text, it drags the box as well.Therefore, I would like to be able to limit the "drag" functionality to one corner of the rectangle.So the user would have to click that part in order to drag the movie clip. Please see the attached image to get a better idea of what I'm talking about.
View 5 RepliesThis animation is for a kindergarten course. I have 6 different colored teddy bears on the
floor and the bears are to be placed on the middle shelf in the room, in no particular order. I have the code in place to drag the bears, and they return to their original location if dropped in the wrong area. Everything works, except I can't make the bears stick to the target area. The target area has to be the same for all 6 bears.
I have a movie clip that I am dragging onto another movie clip and i want it to stay put. But once I add in another 'OR' statement in the if statement, it freaks out and doesn't work. Why is this?
This code works:
btn1.onRelease=function(){
stopDrag();
if(eval(this._droptarget) != btn1Hold) {
this._x=this.startX;
this._y=this.startY;
} else{
//CODE
}}
This code DOES NOT work:
Code:
btn1.onRelease=function(){
stopDrag();
if( (eval(this._droptarget) != btn1Hold) || (eval(this._droptarget) != btn2Hold) ) {//CHANGED LINE
[Code] .....
For whatever reason it doesn't like the extra 'OR' in the if statement! why!?
I created a movie clip (which I add to the main class of the scene in FlashCS5 with addchild). Its registration point is on its upper left. Its class is:[code]The problem is that it is not moving properly, like jittering.
View 1 RepliesI dragged and dropped my movie clip on to the stage, and it doesn't play. Other movie clips play, but the one I need to use doesn't play. I even added a function that is supposed to play the clip when you click on another clip, and it doesn't work although others do. I've attached the fla for reference, the clip that I'm trying to use is wipe3.
View 1 RepliesBut I do not want to Drag and Drop the original movieclip (A). But a copy of the clicked movieclip (A1).To do this I make a copy of the clicked movieclip and put in on the same place as the original one. And set function A1.startDrag();The problems which i have now is the handling of the mouse events. Because Flash was bussy with movieclip A, and is now interrupted by movieclip
.onPress {
make moviclip 1
set location A1 under the mouse cursor

In order to improve user experience we want the ability to have an animated movieclip of a turning wheel- and have the ability to drag and drop it anywhere on a defined area
We have built the rotating wheel as a swc file.
How do we do the drag+drop. Examples that I have seen, cater to only dropping of images.
I'll try to make a movieclip for drag and drop event this is a code that I've find on the web:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;

But this one make a vectoriale circle on the stage and makes it draggable.Now I've a movie_clip called "mc_Image" on my stage (that have inside a image background and some transparent button).
I am trying to recreate a drag and drop effect that seems like you are dragging the whole screen to navigate around... like this-->I'm assuming its a huge movieclip that is being dragged around the stage with a nice tween effect to it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.I am trying to tween it to look pretty, but when i drag, it tweens it in relation to 0,0 of the movie clip. So the upper left corner moves to the mouseX, mouseY position.I think there is a math to figure this out, but I suck at math.
Code:
holder_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, DragImage);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, DropImage);

I'm trying to create this drag and drop sequence where the "temperature_small" movie clip is dragged and dropped onto a spot on the stage. I've got the drag and drop part of the ActionScript ready, but the trouble comes when I want to re-size the movieclip to make it smaller, I keep getting the error code:

Im building a game, where the user has several images as movieclips. He can drag them to an area of the stage, and selecting them, he could rotate it. Does anybody knows some tutorials on hoe to start?
View 2 Repliesi have a drop down menu am working on and each button tab (although they are not button instances !) when clicked opens up the "drop down" section which you can mouse over to choose another specific button etc - if you mouse out of that drop down area then it pulls back up to the original tab state .. what do i change to the code below to decrease the area that you mouse out of to make the drop down area pull back .....at the moment it at least two inches on the screen below and to the right of boundaries of the drop down box before it pulls up - i want to it pull up as the mouse leaves the boundary box .... hope this makes sense .... there is some part of the actionscipt below that controls this but can work out which bit and how to change it !!! (am guessing the x mouse and y mouse bits - but how to change it ???)

Lately im trying to do some experimental things with JSFL, and i was wondering if it is possible to listener for an event when a component (that i have made) or movieclip is dragged from library on the stage.i want to create something that i'll get a component and drop it on a mc. when the component is dropped on the mc the component will save the mc as a reference in some var.maybe with events isnt the way to go but i have no clue if this is possible or how to do it another way.
View 1 RepliesI am having problems with optimizing a code. I am not new to Flash (not an expert though) but as much as I work and read it seems that there are lots of things I don't know. I hope you could help me with this.
So..I have 192 buttons (each in different colors) and 192 arrows. The arrows are invisible in the first place. When I press one of the buttons I want the coresponding arrow to appear, hide the mouse and make it act like a mouse. I also want to be able to drop the color of the button on an external movieclip.

I want to make a drag and drop movie clip with rotating control in 360 degrees.I made a movie clip with 30 frames with a button in centre which can rotate the object in 360 degrees.At this stage it is functioning.when i tried to add the drag and drop action to the movie,the button for rotation is not working.
View 0 RepliesI've been making a drag and drop by using the following code:
Code:
plank0_mc.onPress = function() {
startDrag(this);
this.gotoAndStop(2);
//this._rotation = 33;
};
plank0_mc.onRelease = plank0_mc.onReleaseOutside=function () {
StopDrag(this);
}
It works fine apart from the rotation - when it rotates the movieclip the mouse can technically no longer be on the plank anymore. And the mouse is dragging the plank but is not actually on the graphic. Is there any way of snapping the mouse to the centre of the movieclip no matter where they click?
I have been working with a very simple tutorial over at [URL], where you drag objects onto a target movieClip. My question is this, how do you target a movieClip inside a movie clip? What I have are 4 color squares that I want to drag and drop onto a pattern_mc. I put the target mc's with in the pattern_mc. In the tutorial the target mc's are not in a movie clip. I put my target mc's in a movieClip because I want to use the pattern_mc as a material, and I thought this was the correct way to this.
Code:
//record objects starting position
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;
//activate objects to be moved
square1mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
square1mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);

Going from AC2 to AC3. I have made a script that creates a dot (myTag) and a text label (nameLabel) when a button is pressed. Then the user is able to drag and drop the dots. This is what my script does so far. I want the text label to be hidden when dragging and displayed at the place where the dot is when user stops dragging.
Here is my code:
var tagArray:Array = [];
var labelArray:Array = [];
var nameCounter:int = 0
addLabelKnapp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, addLabel);
function addLabel(event:MouseEvent):void {

I've got 3 coloured balls and 3 zones which any of the balls can be dropped in. The idea is that once a ball is placed in a zone, it stays in that zone and no other ball can be added to that zone until the current ball is removed.
I've got to a point so that any ball can be placed in any zone. However, the problem is there seems to be some hierarchy with regards to the balls. ball0_mc seems to be the chief ball, and will replace any of the other two balls if there placed in a zone, instead of snapping back to it's original position because the zone is full. ball0_mc also can't be replaced by any of the other balls if its placed in a zone. ball1_mc is the next one down the line and when in a zone, can be replaced by ball0_mc if its dragged over it, but it cannot be replaced by the third and final ball2_mc. ball2_mc seems to be the runt of the pack and can be replaced by either of the two other balls when its in a zone and cannot replace any of the other balls when they're in a zone.
Hope you're still with me?! So, what I'd like to do is make it so each ball is equal, so when any ball is placed in a zone, it can't be replaced with another ball until the current ball has been removed...and they live happily ever after in the land of ballshire.
Here's my code. I've created two classes, one linked to the movie clip balls called 'Ball', and another called 'EgoGame' which is being used as the document class for the main .fla file.

I have written the drag and drop function for a movie clip this movie clip has a animation inside of it, this is on a seperate layer. When i play the swf, the animation and the movie clip it was inside become individual objects. How do I make these two objects into one entity?
