I was working on a website with a draggable menu, when I saw a post about full screen flash website. (See the third code) My menu used to have an area defined like this:
Then after I tried to turn my initial website into a FullScreen flash website, I realised the draggable area had to be constantly updated. I tried this but in vain:
I 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); [Code] .....
i 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 ???)
This looks right to me but it won't drag and drop. I would like to drage the mc "medium" over the mc "box". If it is over it on release then lock to the center. Otherwise, go back to its original position.
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:
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?
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.[code]
if 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?
I want have a mc called LDL travelling across the page and as soon as it comes into a specific range on the page ( drops the cholesterol off at a random point in this range) I want the cholesterol molecule to fall and build up on the bottom of the page and on top of eachother.
I managaned to get the LDL moving and the cholesterol molecules falling when I select the no and press the button, but only 1 cholesterol ball stops, the rest just pass through.
I 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?
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
I 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.
i have a problem with my flash menu. It's simple menu that contains one MC at start that works as button, u can edit size of the menu from external .txt file by changing the value of menu length. All that works fine , my problem is that every new duplicated mc contains dynamic text area as a label. Labels are also loaded from that .txt file , but that works only for the 1st mc because the newly created text areas in mc's dont have Instance Name set. How can i assign them from as?
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.
It uses drag-n-drop interactivity. When I drag a MC and drop it in a "drop-box", feedback pops up. When the mouse leaves the drop-box area, the feedback remains. Is there a way I can have the feedback go back to blank when my mouse leaves the drop-box area?
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 want my drop down menu put over flash area and it works but only in FF. Unfotunelly IE and Opera shows my menu under flash. The DHTML menu system is the simplest as possible and it was wrote from scratch by me. I've been trying everything, and still it doesn't work like it should. I tried to put the flash element by jquery.flashEmbed script and by standard code with param transparent, but it never works. Here is the xhtml: [URL]
I have an application that has a dynamic text area that pulls in XML content and i would like to have the text area grow, rather than use a scrollbar and i am wondering if anyone has done this or can point me in the right direction? I have dont quite a few searches and only find examples on how to do this in AS3, and i am using AS2 and CS3.
I'm making a scroller that scrolls movieclip (text inside). It works quite good but I want to put the final touch on it. I want that my scrollbar is dynamic in its size (just as browser scrolls or windows scrolls). Then my biggest programming problem comes up, maths
The values that I have is - How tall is the area there the text shows. - How tall is the movieclip that the text is shown in - How tall is the place there my scrollbar is shown.
I want to make auto width text area. Using xml to pull the data, I would like to expand as data comes in. menu_item_group["menu_item" + i].item_label = nodes i].attributes.item_label; For example: enlarged according to the context menus in this example, the background [URL]
I am very new to AS3. I am creating on flash website where in one section i have few tabs, and a print button. When any user click on the print button form any sub tab, it has to print all the tabs content.
Now i am able to add multiple pages and able to print all the tabs. But when any of those tabs having more content then the print page height it is not flowing to the next page. It is cutting off.how to split the text according to the display height. so that i can store that in another page.[code]...
it is possible to make a movieClip that containes some buttons, input/dynamic text area, but the action script to be taken from an external actionscript file (.as)?I ask this because i have some buttons that calles me movieClips who have actionscript applyed in them, i see that i have some error's because of the actionscript (the .swf file blockes at one moment, and i don't know why ) and i want to call the actionscript file (.as) to button when i press one button that displays me the movieClip attach to him.
I need to have drag and drop functionality on a dynamic text box. I searched and from my understanding Flash does not allow startDrag() and stopDrag() on a text box. Am I correct in saying that I have to somehow embed the text box onto a movieclip and drag the movieclip? If so, how can I embed a text box on a MC in this manner?
I have been working on building a XML menu and I have been able to create the top level menu but I am not sure how to add the sub menu items in a drop down. I have a link to a zip file containing my XML and FLA file. I am using CS4.The top level menu items consist of the following and the sub menu options are listed. In this list, Items 1,2 and 3 are top level menu buttons and item 4 is a sub menu button that would drop down from item 3.
I want to make a jigsaw puzzle wherein a text box tells the user/player if the designated piece is in a correct/incorrect place. If it's incorrect, the piece would return to it's place from where it was dragged from.
how to make a dynamic drop down menu? I mean I have a button I press it and it ones the drop down menu in a movieClip. I close the movieClip and I press another button and the drop down menu appears again but with different content. The length of the menu is given by the length of an array, and the content of the menu are colors that have to change every time I press another button.
So I'm doing this project and as an animator I'm not familiar with the whole action script side of flash.Okay so far I've managed to create the whole Drag and Drop feature and it works well, the thing is I want to make it so when you drag in object in the correct spot and new text appears, and I need like six different object with six different text. but I have no idea how to integrated it in my code or where I should start!
