ActionScript 2.0 :: Drag With Easing And Constrained Space?
Mar 24, 2011
I've managed to code the following function for an AS2 class. What I'd like to do is to add a "constrained space", like a square, and keep the easing. I've tried to update this function in many possible ways.
ActionScript Code:
private function dragMe(victim:MovieClip):Void
{
var easing:Number = 15;
i have this script that i am using to drag with easing. it works but how do i make sure it stops when it gets to the edge of the movie. Right now since there is easing on it, you can throw the shape right off of the stage. Is there a way it can stop?
I'm creating a map in flash and I would like to have a smooth movement similar to this:[URL]..i have made a start but I'm having trouble taking it to the next stage.
My code currently throws the movieclip after the mouse is release but there is no easing while the mouse button is down.
I'm attempting to make an AS3 class that allows me to drag an object with easing. I've looked around the net and put this together.I have created this class as startDrag() doesn't allow easing. I've almost got it working but there is a problem where the registation point of the movielclip snaps to the mouse position (this is the equivalent of having "lockcenter:boolean" in startDrag() set to "true")this is the problem bit in my script:
I have got myself a movieclip that I would like to be able to drag left and right. I have got this sorted but I would also like the movieclip to ease to a stop depending on the speed it has been dragged. Is this possible?
I've got an object (camera) I'm trying to pan. This code works perfectly for panning it on the Y axis, but it's the exact opposite for the natural panning motion of X. By simply subtracting the velocity (as opposed to adding), the camera.x creates a crazy "Ease In" effect that shoots the camera off at a crazy speed. I've tried reversing the order of everything, but without the result I'm seeking.
How can I go about adding easing motion to this code. I have a movie clip that is significantly larger than the stage and the mouse, on drag will pan around the image. I just want to add a slight ease on the pan.
I have a MC that drags and when I release it return to the inicial place. Now it's possible to make it stop drag normally, but only in a small part of the flash movie.For exemple in a sqare it stops drag normally..is that possible?I use this code:
i'm new to flash AS3. I am trying to create an drag drop activity where the user can match words and meanings by dropping and dragging into the right space. At the moment I want to create multiple drop areas for the boxes. At the moment they will only fall within their own target area - also only the boxes move and not the text. How do i create mutiple drop areas for the words and meanings?
I want the map's movement to be constrained to the edges of the stage. Or in other words, if you move your mouse from the left edge of the stage to the right, you only just see the right edge map, whereas now, it dissappears off the other side of the stage.
im trying to create this custom menu a bit more efficiently. As written, it operates fine glitch free. However, id like to incorporate some easing into the movement of each movie clip.
I've built a code to cyclically move a scene on the bottom of my stage; I've done this to make a slowing-and-stop-easing effect at anytime the command will arrive. The entire scene mc is _x long something like 6000 px. The whole code goes in this way:
1) importing on the stage (with attachMovie) a mc with this code inside:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) { _parent._parent.fondo_mc._x -= countermovement; if (_parent._parent.fondo_mc._x <= -5800) {[code].....
The code goes right, but I need to improve it.Now there is just a variable, I tought to use two vars to implement the whole code in a setInterval, but maybe it's unuseful, and actually I can't use it in the right way.
Second issue: actually when slowAndStop function is called the scene slow too fast, if I take it to 15 it slow better but the scene is running too fast...
The best would be that the scene slow down and stop following: A) a temporal variable (and I can try to implement it with setInterval, that for istance is a cycle)
B) an indipendent moving variable, so that on one side I set the speed, on the other side I set the slow-and-stop in a matter of time with countermovement.I also tried to use a second variable:
var counter:Number = 15; // set the _x increment var countermovement:Number = counter/2;
The correct code to constrain movie clips to a container movie clip (or sprite or whatever) in the fashion I was looking for is this:
var picContainer:PicContainer = new PicContainer(); picContainer.x = stage.stageWidth / 2 - picContainer.width / 2; picContainer.y = stage.stageHeight / 2 - picContainer.height / 2; addChild(picContainer); var totalPics:int = 17; var pic:Pic = new Pic(); //make an instance just to get its width [Code] .....
I've got a problem with a (seemingly) simple equation that i can't quite figure out.
My problem is as follows:
I've got a pretty basic for loop that creates a 'thumbnail' and puts it next to the previous one (With a little padding) inside a containing movie clip.[code]...
I have an array of display objects that are simple scattered circles on the stage. My goal is to have them move around randomly within, say, a 5/10 pixel radius/range from their original x and y. Sort of like fireflies, but not as jittery and fast, I'm looking for something real smooth. What I have now is something like this:
So as you can see for each circle I call a class JitterCircle and pass it two values: the actual display object and the range I want my circle to fly around in. Inside JitterCircle I have this:
I want the map's movement to be constrained to the edges of the stage. Or in other words, if you move your mouse from the left edge of the stage to the right, you only just see the right edge map, whereas now, it dissappears off the other side of the stage.
I'm familiar with how to ease something in using motion math. Easing out would not be that bad either. But how would I script something easing in half way, then easing out the second half? It would start slow, gradually move faster, then slow to a stop at the end. - almost like a sine wave I guess?
I want to have an image and when I click on the image ,one can hold down the mouse and drag a copy to where ever on the stage and when one lets go, one can drag another and another with each copy still being able to be dragged after released.this is what i have but its pretty simple and doesn't work....
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,makeA Box); var i:Number = 1; //i will be the total number of boxes var newBox:myMC = new myMC();[code]....
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]
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 some movie clips. i want to drag all clips when i drag single movie clip. Ex. I have movie clips "A1", "A2", "A3", "A4", "A5" . Randomly visible some of them. Suppose "A1", "A3", "A4" has visible. When i will drag "A1" movie clip all these "A3", "A4" also move with "A1".
What's the code to start drag and stop drag. I would also like to know what's the code to detect if the object has been dropped on something. I know the code in AS2 but i cant figure it out in AS3.
I am very new to AS3 and I am running into some issues creating a simple class that will allow you to drag and drop and object but then also scale when it is over a hit area. Here is my current code:
i have load in a .swf and this .swf is make up of one drag object. When i load into my _level0, i can drag it but it seem then the drag is not smooth, instead it is lagging. Thus i went back to the indiviual files and try to drag on it and it was not lagging. ...why is it like that? All the files are still on my local disk.
I am creating a Flash website (AS3) which contains multiple columns of swf's. These all have individual "start drag and stop drag" vertically and works fine. My problem is when I try to create start drag stop drag on top of these swf's horizontally - I want to be able to move the whole stage horizontally containing separate columns.
I am not sure how to code it and it ends up locking the "start drag top drag" inside the columns. How can I do this so that each column is scrollable and scroll to other columns without using a scroll bar...
