I tried looking around at some drag stuff in the forums but nothing helped me and Senocular's code scared me
Ok so I have these 2 sexy little scale + movement functions on my movie clip[code]...
I have created a neat little function that produces several buttons and inserts labels into each one from an array. It works great until I try to stick the sucker under a mask. When I do that, the labels disappear. I need this mask, but I also need the labels - can't have buttons without labels, now, right?Here's the code I am using:
Code:
var mcPosY:Array = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i < 14; i++){

I have a function that states when movieclip1 is dragged and hits a line then it stops the drag, however it seems to stop the entire drag function in the swf on the other movieclips even though they arent called in the function.[code]
View 1 RepliesI have a "Dynamic Text" element called "output_txt". In my action script code, I have this line:
output_txt.text = "I am thinking of a number between 1 and 100";
But what actually gets displayed in that element, after that line runs is:
"thinin o ne etween n 00"
Some of the letters are randomly getting dropped. Any ideas on what could be going wrong?
(I'm using Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5 version 11.5.0.325.)
Spaces in title bar are replaced with 20% when i try to run certain html (which embedds flash) in firefox or internet explorer.[code]...
View 0 RepliesThis isn't actually related directly to the AS programming language, but to the AS editor in Adobe Flash CS3 Professional. I think it happened after pressing a certain combination of keys by accident. I haven't been able to solve the issue since.
There seems to be lots of arrows (where tabs are) and the letter P facing the opposite direction at the end of each line.
I am following the XML/Flash Photo Gallery with Thumbnails [URL] Everything works great except the thumbnails. The first few thumbnails (the ones originally visible) are fine, but then the rest are all smashed up on top of one another. Is this a problem with my code? The pictures aren't all exactly the same width, so that might be the problem.
View 1 RepliesMy flash movie is made competely in actionscript. Now, when i pick "play" from right-click menu in a browser, everything gets just.. very wrong I suppose there needs to be additional code in the first frame to delete all scene objects?
View 2 RepliesIt seems that the getters and setters for the height are all botched up when the DisplayObject has any rotation applied to it at all.The getter for the height returns the total height of all the bounds.The setter for the height sets the height regardless of rotation.If you set the same value for height several times in a row, you will get about 3 different results until it stays at the same result.If the heigt's getters and setters are different, imagine the ramaflacations involved, first and foremost setting properties via "+=".Just posted up a quick example: (ZIP with SWF is attached - FLA can be made available upon request)The properties "width", "height", and "rotation" are applied in that order as listed, but setting them in a different order will affect the result differently, but I don't have the time for that.

I don't know what I did while working in a CS3 Flash document, but I cannot view the frames up in my timline bar. All I can see is the layers there - they take up the whole area and when I try to grab and drag the timeline to shorten the layers nothing happens. I must have hit something by accident
View 4 RepliesIf I run the page locally on my machine, the banner looks fine no matter the browser. however, on the free hosting service server, size and position of certain movie clips are messed up in IE, safari and opera. they overlap in places, and u can see the corner of something that's supposed to be off the stage. why? note: the hosting service put some junk after my </body> tag...

View 4 RepliesSo i've been toying around with the built in bitmap collision detection, seeing as it was pixel-perfect collision testing. I've tried so many times to get it to work, but it hasn't prevailed yet. All the tutorials i've found look like timeline code, but i'm using OOP, however, this should not effect it in any way. I eventually broke down an downloaded a pre written class, but even then, i could not get it to work. Basically, when the two objects are supposed to be colliding, the ground has a red glow, but after making it draw points while colliding i saw that the actual collision shape is some messed up thing.

I've built a drawing application. Because I've programmed the option to insert symbols (new movieclips), I needed to create a new movieclip each time I start drawing. The problem is that I now completely messed up my lineTo and moveTo sequence, and it just draws from coordinates which I don't understand where is gets them from.The code section is basically:
stage.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDrawing );
stage.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, drawer );
function drawer( e:MouseEvent ):void[code].....
I have a main lineDrawing movieclip into which i'm creating a new shDrawing each time the mouse moves. The problem is, because it starts a new movieclip each time - it messes up the coordinates of the line drawing.(btw, I can solve this if I could only do some kind of "lineTo" function on a movieclip, so that it "lines-to" from mouse down to mouse up seamlessly, regardless of the speed of moving the mouse.
so im almost finished my first site! very excited. its for my dads business, hes a screening contractor. actually i doubt he will get any business out of it, even once we get our real domain name and everything because i don't even know how to get Google to like it. its OK though, its mainly just a practice site for me anyways before i make a resume site for myself. anyways, it consists of 3 divs, an html content area, and a flash banner and a flash menu, which stretch depending on the window size to keep their aspect ratio. everything works exactly as planned in Firefox, chrome, and pure flash player. but in IE, safari and opera, the size and position of things are way messed up! (only really care about IE). the edges of dynamic text are slightly to the left or right and hanging behind things because of it, same with some movie clips. and when i didn't want things to appear on the stage i set their x position to be the length of the stage, BUT IN IE U CAN SEE THE EDGE!

I'm trying to create an interactive piece, where the veiwer can move sliders to effect to movement of other pieces. I understand how to contrain the movement of the sliders, and I've done so, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to constrain the movements of the mc's effected by the sliders. How do I do this without using the drag function?

I'm trying to create a script that would imitate an old rotary phone dial. I have this script, but need it to function on MOUSE_DOWN:
Code:
handle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ENTER_FRAME, startRotate);
function startRotate(e:Event):void {
var dx:Number=mouseX-handle.x;
var dy:Number=mouseY-handle.y;
// presupposes position of object to be facing to the right.
var radians:Number=Math.atan2(dy,dx);
handle.rotation=radians*180/Math.PI;
var hR:Number = Math.round(handle.rotation);
rotationA.text = String(hR);
}
Changing the event handler doesn't work. Somehow the MouseDown function should be working like an EnterFrame event, I guess. The condition I want to check is whether or not the handle is at a certain degree angle to stop the dial from rotating.
if (handle.rotation >= 30) {
handle.rotation = ?;
}
Not sure what I need to put in there to stop it from rotating.
i want to use the simple startDrag-function to drag a movieclip. when the option to lock the movieclip is set to false, there's no problem but when i set this option to true, so the movieclip should follow the mouse locked to the center, my movieclip just disappears. i used this code:

View 3 RepliesI'm building an interactive map and i've run into a problem. The map is draggable and I have a start and stop drag function running as well as an onEnterFrame function which restricts how far you can drag the map. The map is displayed inside of a masked area. On the map is many locations which when rolled over should pop up a little dialogue box with contact info. My problem is that it only works when i've disabled the drag functions. When the drag functions are running the buttons inside the map movie clip all stop working. How can i get around this?

I'm trying to combine a mc button's drag functionality with a double click functionality.
I have the actionscript to do both - with the drag aspect working fine - but I'm having problems getting the double click to work too - basically meshing the respective scripts.
Tried variations on combining the scripts but nothing working so far
The script is below
//double click: set initial variables
click = false;
//function for the button press

This 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 relatively simple drag and drop function. When the target is hit, the shape stays on it. Otherwise, it goes back to its original place.
ActionScript Code:
square_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
square_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.startDrag(true);
event.target.parent.addChild(event.target);
[Code] .....
The slide function is supposed to bring the shape back to its origin (passx and passy are the coordinates), through an Enterframe event. It works fine, but it only works once. And if I drop the shape, if I pick it up again, it's impossible to "cancel" this action (which means the shape keeps going back to the origin). I tried removeEventListener but no luck.
Im just wondering is there a way I can load flv's externally into flash and then move them around like a drag and drop function?
