how to limit the region an object can be dragged in if the region is an irregular shape. I've tried with the 'set bounds' command and tried making a shape out of rectangles - but no joy.
View 2 RepliesI have drawn a rectangle area in which I want to drag a copy of a MC instance from outside the rectangle.
1. I want to be able to define the rectangle as a boundary so that I can drag and drop a copy of the instance from outside the rectangle to inside the rectangle. If the MC instance is dropped outside the rectangle then the MC instance snaps back to it's original position.
2. Once the MC instance has been dragged and dropped inside the rectangle it can be dragged and moved around BUT only inside the rectangle and not outside it.
I have a simple yet mind boggling problem on my hands,simply put I have a large MC (with its registration point in the center, i need it there), and it sits in a smaller stage (think of it like as if you were panning a map thru a viewer, like google maps) but i need a set of boundaries to prevent it from going haywire. Now i have tried a couple of methods ie [code]The above just manages to stop it but once it reaches that point the drag stops totally.

I have rectangle now I want to fill it with red color but it show attach overflow error .
When you call startDrag on a Sprite/MovieClip/whatever, you can specify a rectangle which the object in question will stay within.
Eg... startDrag(false, rect1); where rect1 is of type :Rectangle
how you would go about constraining the dragging to an arbitrary shape, say a triangle or a circle rather than a rectangle?
I figure I could just have a Timer calling a function to check the whole time but that doesn't seem particularly nice.
I am facing one problem that i want to restrict my boundary while my object is moving around a area.So i want to move my black color ball only one position left/right/bottom or topEventhoung if my ball presents in the left side edgeit should move left side. same thing for upper side, bottom side and right side.right nowi m using Mouse Down for DragMouseUP for DropInbetween MouseMove for finding its co-ordinates

I would like to create a rectangle inside of a rectangle, starting approximately 15% inward from the right side of the other rectangle.
I know how to create rectangles with:
Code:
var newHotRect:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
newHotRect.graphics.beginFill(0x00FF00);
newHotRect.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
addChild(newHotRect);
But how would I make another rectangle on top of that (the black one pictured) that is approximately 15% from the right?
I toyed around with .right, and .bottomright with no success. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? or even finding the x and y of the upper right or bottom right side of a rectangle?
I have a rectangle (90 degrees). I can drag the cateters, limitid by a rectangle. But I have tried to limit the dragging of the hypotenusa in a rectangle too, but can�t figure it out. Where I have the ?? I want to put values so that the hypotenusa can be dragged peripendicular like the kateters. Later I shal draw and fill the area beeing dragged.

View 6 RepliesI would like to add the ability to resize a rectangle movieclip, plus have the ability to drag it horizontally. I have the horizontal drag code working, but I am not sure how to add the ability to grab the ends and resize it.. There are a lot of these bars on screen, so I am adding listeners in a loop:
this["box" + i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
I imagine I need to add 2 movieclips to each rectangle to allow for resize handles, but I'm not sure how to refer to them or initalize them...Here is a pic of what I am looking to accomplish.

Im running a movie clip from an AS class, and simply testing it using the addChild method in the FLA but all my code is in the external AS file. Inside this movieclip i have a my own custom Slider Component. I am using the drag and drop method and i want to constrain the image i am moving to a rectangle. I have drawn the rectangle (called rect) and i am using that MC to get the size and position propities. and my slider is called (slider_mc) anyway here is my code. I am getting the

I'm wondering how I can create a dynamic rectangle wich has some text in it, the text is dynamic so the rectangle has to adapt to the length of the text. How to approach this?
View 3 Repliesi need to check if a point is within a rotated rectangle. I have to do this mathematically, as none of the objects are on the stage so i can't use hitTestPoint. I know the position and rotation of the rectangle, and if necessary can get the four corners as points as well.
I kind of feel silly asking this, because i am pretty sure it's not a hard thing to do, i just can't work it out and so far any google searches just bring up hitTestPoint.
For those of you still with me, I am tasked with making some scrollable content in Flash. Load in a TextFile using LoadURL(), then display it. To get the text, we've written our own class TextFieldExtended, which is basically just there to give the textfile location to the constructor and then have the class do the various steps of getting it and loading it for you.So I needed to get a Scrollbar, which I got hereThe thing is, it works with Sprites.After trying to get it to accept TextFieldExtended, I bumped into a block, since the scrollbar relied heavily on a Sprite property that TextFieldExtended didn't have or could have.
So I tried adding the TextFieldExtended instance to a Sprite instance using addchild.A problem occurs here that I do not know how to handle. It seems that a Rectangle is drawn and the Text is drawn on that. I say this because the scrollbar moves the Rectangle up and down a bit, but the text doesn't scroll, just the Rectangle it is positioned in and the text then moves along with it.My question: can this be fixed, or is does this implementation of scrollbars need a lot of adaptations before this is possible?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to convert a rectangle(actually multiple rectangles) to a curved rectangle. I think it should be pretty easy but I guess i am stupid.

View 1 RepliesI'm migrating from as2 to as3 and have a problem. I have a movieclip called papel_ilus which has loaded images inside with text and stuff. I found a Drag And Drop code that constrains the movement of the _x axis and have targeted the papel_ilus movieclip. However, when I click the images inside they are dragged separately from the whole movieclip I targeted and everything is a mess. Is there a way to drag the whole "pack" as one?
