ActionScript 2.0 :: Draggable Movie Clip With Easing
Sep 6, 2009
I know this is a bit common now, but I can't seem to find a way to make this work as I need it to.I've got a movie clip that I need to allow dragging on.The movie clip is the background to a website. It is very long in dimensions (lets say 5,000px by 384px).Anyway, the movie clip will align at 0,0 and then should be able to be scrolled horizontally until the end of the graphic reaches the end of the stage.My document size is 1024 x 384.I'd like to be able to make the movie scroll and ease on drag.
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'm wondering if there is a way to duplicate a mc so that when you drag & drop a ball, for example, there can be 50 balls stacked underneath, each with its own capabilities to be dragged individually? Obviously the goal is to be able to do this without applying the start/stop drag action to each ball.
I'm creating a draggable movie clip (an arrow symbol) that drags along a rectangular track. Works fine but my issue is when the arrow's y axis is at a certain position, it needs to remove a movie clip instance and also run a trace statement. Right now, it's not doing that (if I change the == in the if statement to += it works but then it just works as soon as you mouse down on the arrow) and I'm wondering where I'm goofing up. Here's my code:
I am building a click through presentation that has some small text in it. To maintain the design and allow for readability, I have added a zoom feature.Here is the structure of the movie,Stage - contains pages movie clip and forward/reverse click buttons for changing pagesThere is a button at the _root level that uses a tweener to scale the pages_mc up to 170%. When this is clicked, it allows the pages to be dragged around the screen so you can look at different sections. When you click the button again, it returns the pages back to their original size stops drag.My problem is, on the pages, there are buttons with links to external sites. Once startDrag has been invoked, I cannot touch the buttons inside the movie clip. Is there a way to make these buttons work?
I have a movie clip on the main timeline in frame 1 that I named moveablekey. What it is supposed to be is a key for a map that you can move around on the map. When you scroll over/off the key it will hide/unhide the actual key. The key has some buttons that I want to allow to go to a different link when clicked. When I test the key without the code below it will work on the link and take me to the link, but when I put the code into the main timeline it stops the link from working. Here is what I think is happening: The code seems to make it so wherever I click on the movie clip it is doing the start/stop drag code and won't recognize the buttons within the movie clip. So is there a way that I can make just the header of the key to be clickable to start/stop the drag, but still move the entire key, and allow for the buttons to be clicked?
i just made a draggable window for my website, its contained within a movie clip(profile_mc) and with in that there is a button which has these actions applied to it :
[code]...
now it all works good, but its reall jerky and just stops even if you dont release.
Works great. Then inside this movie clip, I have an invisible button with the following script:
on (press) { startDrag(window); } on (release) { stopDrag(); }
This allows the movie clip that popped up to be draggable. This also works perfectly.
My problem is, the button will only attach the movie clip on the first scene. I currently have it loading in level 1. Does anyone know how I can work around this?
Unfortunatly im having to extend to more draggable objects. So they will be within another movie clip so i can have them scrolling. After making the scroll, the draggable objects dont register on the droptarget as they are within another movie clip. Below is i think the part of the code that needs to be changed so the draggable objects know where to find the drop target.
I am developing and interactive CD application for kids that consists in a menu and two chapters with animations and exercises. To select the chapter I have an "Accordion" style menu with draggable panels. In each chapter panel I have a button which upon being clicked should direct me to the chapters first frame. The problem is it doesn't.
I want to make a draggable movie clip with an input text box in it. It's going to be a "Make your own comic" game, where you can type in the speach bubbles what you want the characters to say.
I've only ever used tweening to move an object on the stage which always looks choppy. Say I have a movie clip that is just off the stage and I want to bring it to the center of the stage nice and smoothly starting slowly, getting faster and the slowing down,what actionscript would I have to use. In fact to make it easier, here's a FLA which uses traditional tweening to move the object, what must I do with it to get rid of the tweening and replace it with a nice smooth actionscript?

I'd like to add a movement easing script to a movie clip that rotates toward the mouse constantly. Here's the script on a controller movie clip (I know that's old-fashioned):
Code: //variables are angle, x, y, and r //x and y are the mouse's relative coordinates (legs) //angle is the rotation of the gun (hypotenuse angle)
[Code]....
I'd like that line <<_parent.turret._rotation = (this.angle*-1);>> to instead smooth the movement (That is, go half the distance each frame) . . . but upon adding the traditional code (which can also be found somewhere on kirupa), when I cross the mouse from, say 359 degrees to 1 degree, the accursed thing spins the opposite direction. I understand why this happens, but have no thoughts as to how to fix it. It has baffled me for some time.
I'll attach the .fla in case the above is too cryptic, but keep in mind that there are some other features since added, like firing bullets and such. Ignore the actions concerning these; the only important code is on an empty mC called script. It's inside the motoGun mC, at 0x0.
I want to do a vertical scrolling movie clip with easing with buttons. No scroll bar. I have attached a sample I have done just using _y properties. Ideally I want it to ease to the right position instead of jumping to it.
i am trying to scale a movie clip to certain pixel dimensions with easing. I have four buttons on the stage and one mc( a square). when a button is pressed i want to scale the mc to a certain size. i.e button 1 scales the mc to 200 pixels by 500 pixels.
I have a menu bar as a movie clip and another movie clip acting as a slider. I want to on pressing a button on the Manu bar movie clip get the slider to slide across with easing. however I don't want the easing to be infinite so can't use a this._x*=.9 or some decimal < 1. Loop function only acts on the sinle fram so it too quick to see.
I have a fla with a button that makes a movie clip appear. The movie clip is draggable (via the DragDrop class I created) and contains a small "close" button which I cannot get to work, so there is no way to make the movie clip dissapear.
Why is it that when i have button in a movie clip and that movie clip is a draggable object the button becomes inactive? How can i have both the button and the movie clip draggable and the button continue to function. below is the script i have for the draggable movie clip, which has the button contained within that:
I have two draggable clips, each set to jump to the top when released, this works fine. My issue is that the "draggable area" is larger than the imported images (since they are angled, & flash sets mc's to square or rectangles) - Ive tried various masking ideas, no joy - trouble is that if I placed the clips too close together it becomes difficult to select the one the user wants (since I need to include four/five clips).
i have a main movie w/c is draggable and zoomable where i drag another movie on top of it. Each have its own instance names. my problem is my main movie is the only one that ca be drag and zoom.
I would like to load the draggable menu externally into another SWF movie. I have my main movie (main.swf) and the draggable menu movie (draggable.swf). I can get the draggable.swf to load into the main.swf, however, I can't seem to figure out how to get the external draggable.swf to work within the main.swf. Once it's loaded, it is totally static.
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;
I try to connect a line object between 2 draggable movie clips. If either MC changes position, the line will follow and still connect to it. The first version I got is as following: (works smooth but takes high CPU and computer resources if there are thousands of objects duplicated)[code]...
I have some buttons that create draggable movie clips in arrays. But when I click on one button, and then another, for some reason the previous movie clip dissapears.Try clicking on one button a few times, then clicking on another, then another...
I would like to load the draggable menu externally into another SWF movie. I have my main movie (main.swf) and the draggable menu movie (draggable.swf). I can get the draggable.swf to load into the main.swf, however, I can't seem to figure out how to get the external draggable.swf to work within the main.swf. Once it's loaded, it is totally static
how i could resize a movie with an easing motion? Is this possible? I would like to load multiple external swf files into one "main" movie with this effect.
Im able to link to a movieclip inside a movieclipUnfortunately one of the movieclips now are a scrollbar and scroll. Now the actionscript isnt working?cal.onPress = function() {gotoAndPlay(2);message1.contentMain.message.total = unit1;
