ActionScript 2.0 :: Draggable Scrollpane - Flash MX - Get The Clips To Close Or Move Off The Stage?
Jul 27, 2004
I'm trying to create a pseudo OS within flash. It's for a website. Essentially there will be "files" to click that that open up draggable windows, just like a mac/pc/linux etc GUI. For example; there could be files for "about, gallery, info, contact" or whatever else that when clicked would open up scrollable/draggable/closeable windows with the content in them.
I'm having serious problems finding any documentation or tutorials on this, even though I'm pretty sure this kind of thing has been used often. My main hang up right now is draggable scrollpanes. Is it possible to do? I can't seem to figure it out.
I'm really stuck on the draggable scrollpanes I have movie clips in place of the scroll panes right now. I wasn't sure on how to actually open the movie clips with a button press so I just placed the two movie clips off the stage, and when one of the two buttons on the stage is pressed, it moves one of the clips onto the stage (thats a ghetto way of doing it, but I'm not sure on how to do it a better way). The clips are draggable with transparency and levels so whatever your dragging becomes slightly transparent and moves to the top level. Aside from my scrollpane problem, I also have no idea how to get the clips to close or move off the stage...

I'm making a custom slider component. The head (the thing that you drag) is programmed like this:
head.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, function():void {
head.startDrag(false, new Rectangle(stubDiv,0,width - stubDiv - ((levels-maxLevel)*stubDiv),0));

I have a MovieClip that I want the user to be able to drag inside the stage, but I don't want it to be able to move outside the stage. Currently I'm using this._parent.startDrag(); to allow the MC to be dragged, but I don't know how to stop it from being dragged outside the frame.

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.

I used this code:
on(release){
gotoAndPlay(3);
}
I used this code for the maze, and in this code the mouse takes control and if it touches the walls then it shows "Game Over".But I need some help here.I made a small human to move and it is actually draggable.So I want to move the draggable human around but the mouse is still in charge of it.

I am loading multiple movie clips into a scrollpaneContainer mc and setting the source of my scrollpane to be the scrollpaneContainer.
Problem is the height of the scrollpaneContainer is larger than 2880 pixels (mc height limit).
I can split the movieclips into two scrollpaneContainer clips but I am unsure how to set the source of the scrollpane to be two different movie clips at the same time.

The site is structured with all content inside entireSite, with two further movie clips nested myMenu, which contains all the button movieclips (rollovers etc) and AS to navigate the site and another entitled allPages which contains all the content.
on entrance to the site i want a grid of images appears which is scrollable using scroll pane. I have managed to achieve this just on a standalone .fla following this tutorial with the code
[URL]
scrollPane.source = myContent;
scrollPane.setSize(556, 300);
with the code sitting on the main timeline
now i have structired my site properly im having difficulty getting it to load correctly. I have the correct instance names for scrollpane and the linkage for the movie clip i want to load. im just wondering that now my scrollpane is nested in entireSite then allPages that the code will not recognise it?
How do i make it point to it? Also, as i move between different pages of the site more content will require a scrollPane, can i just use different instance names to do this?
Or should i go about removing the movieclip in scrollpane and adding a new one?

I haven't been able to find a non-hack way to use Drag and Drop with the AS3 ScrollPane component.
Here's what I'm doing:
I create a container mc, which I then add a bunch of children to. The children are what I want to drag.
However, dragging is constrained to the boundaries of the ScrollPane. This seems to me like a limitation of the ScrollPane component.
I know it can be worked around with attaching a dupe mc to the cursor pos, then manipulating other mcs on mouse up, but..

I'm trying to create three circles on the stage, one red one green, one blue. When Red overlaps blue, I want the overlapped area to be magenta. When blue overlaps green, the overlapped area should by Cyan. When red&green, it should be yellow, and when all 3 mix it should be white. How do I create the color effect. Right now I have the overlap constraints working and a simple TRACE outputting the color. I need to know how to create the color effect when they mix.

I know this is very noob, but I need a simple AS move and loop. Move an object across the stage and once out of site, loop and start over again? It needs to be a slow and endless loop.

I have some movieClips on stage which are draggable and I don't want them to be draggable outside of a visible stage area. Problem is these movieClips are inside a sprite which is panable and then for whatever reason this bounds doesn't work anymore as I intend it to. How do I fix this bounds?
Code:
var arr:Array = [m1,m2,m3,m4,m5,m6,m7,m8,m9,m10];
var thumbSprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(thumbSprite);
for each (var item in arr) {
item.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDragCard, false, 0, true);

I have used Flash on and off over the years but I've decided to hunker down and learn it in earnest. We have cs4 at work and I am having this problem.I checked out the differences between a graphic symbol and a movie clip, and it seems that the movie clip has some distinct advantages. But the main disadvantage is not being able to see what happens on the stage as it plays. How can I get around this limitation? Why does it even exist in the first place? I understand that scripting can complicate how it plays, but for example if I am making a straightforward animation, but parts of it depend on other parts that are in separate symbols, how can I see what is going on at a specific frame on the stage overall?

I'm trying to use the scroll pane component for the first time, and I've spent most of the day getting nowhere. Based on my experience with other components and with loading content into movie clips, I expected that I would point my scroll pane to its content and be off and running, but that hasn't happened.

I am using a ScrollPane in my application(viz., instance name is: myScrollPane). When I view the contents of the ScrollPane, it shows them perfectly. My issue is: When I try to view data present inside the ScrollPane, if I move the Vertical-ScrollBar of the ScrollPane to middle(or somewhere from top to down) and then click on Submit button(viz., instance name is: submit_btn), then its Vertical ScrollPosition must be reset from middle(or any position where we leave it before) to top(or initial position). Hence, I need to move the Vertical ScrollPosition of ScrollPane to top (or) initial position. Everytime, I need to refresh the VerticalScrollBar Position when I click on the submit button. How to do it?

I'm a bit rusty of my trig, so I'm not sure the best way to do this ... I need to position 2 movie clips on the stage that relate to each other they can't be nested ,the registation points are in the center, assume "clip B" is 50 px to the left of "Clip A" as pictured in the diagram to the left , when "clip A" is rotated, I need clip B to follow ( still 50px ) away but with new _x and _y relative to the rotation of "clip A" as in the diagram right.

So, can I access layers on this MainTimeline to get all Movie Clips on this layer ? So I can do a simple operation "A_1_2.buttonMode = true;" to all my MC's (in an array for example) without writing every line (lot of MC's on layer and lot of lines).

I messed up some the timing in some parts where there needs to be audio, and I don't want to go to the very back of the timeline and make all my frame sequences fit the audio that way. I want to select all the clips from one point on, drag them back until the audio fits, and then go to the next part the audio doest fit and do the same. Unfortunately, I've spent at least 20-30 minutes googling and trying different things in Flash that haven't worked.
How can I select all the clips on the timeline before a certain point so that I can drag them all back a few seconds? (Without having to shift click all my clips, obviously).

I will inlcude here to code i used and a zipped folder containing all the files of my mp3 player. What i would like to do, (i am not an actionscript expert and did this following a tutorial) is to include a download button for the track which is being listened, be able to insert the playlist 'track buttons' inside the scrollpane on the stage, and sort an annoying bug which makes the music form the player continue even when i leave the section of the site where its in, keeping the music in the background running and starting a new track ontop every time i renter the section where the player is placed.
