I'm trying to accomplish something in actionscript that involves dragging a movie clip. You see, I want to drag a movie clip out of a scroller (see this tutorial - I am using it currently to attempt to make this work) and onto another area of the stage, where users will then be able to drag it around and resize it. I am hoping that the user will be able to create something from these pictures.
View 1 RepliesI'm messing around with a text box scroller. I want to be able to click on the scroller bar and drag it up and down accordingly.
Here is the code I am using:
on (press) {
startDrag ("_root.scroller", false, 578, 35, 578, 163);
} on (release) {
stopDrag ();
}
I would like to position relatively a scroller in my application like below.When I scale the image, I resize the scroller...
<s:Scroller width="50%" height="50%" >
<s:Group>
<mx:Image

I have a problem with dragging movieclip which is dynamically generated via attaching movieclip from library.I want to move the movieclip by pressing the yellow square within a boundary say 100*4. I am attaching the flash file with this thread.

I'm trying to enable the user to drag a movieclip vertically. I've coded something to be dragged horizontally, and thought it would be a simple matter of swapping some of the info around.
Here is my current code:
stop();
var leftY1:int = 120;
var rightY1:int = 400;
frontbar1_mc.mask = mask1_mc.rec1_mc;
[code]....
Now when the movieclip is clicked, it completely changes position and will only be dragged horizontally. Then when its clicked again, it will jump vertically by how much I previously dragged it horizontally.
If -- draggable -- moivieClip_A is created, and then moivieCLip_B is created as a child of movieClip_A, (when movieClip_A is dragged onPress, movieClip_B simultaneously moves with it), is it possible to change a property of movieClip_B with a mouse event? Seems as though movieClip_A's layer position / mouse events are blocking mouse events for movieClip_B.

newMC.startDrag(false, new Rectangle(0, -99999, 0, 99999));
For some reason I cannot drag the movie clip above the top of the stage, no matter which way around I put the nines.
I'm trying to resize a moviclip in the stage with a handler, but i can't find the solution for attaching the handle to the movieclip.

What is the difference between dragging a movieClip to stage from the user interface and inserting it from code? What I mean is....I noticed that if I drag a movie clip from the library to the stage, give it an instance name ('xx'), I can access it from code using "this.xx". However, if I add the movieClip from code using:
var ch = new MovieClip();
ch.name = 'xx';
addChild(ch);
I cannot access it using this.xx, but I have to access it using this.getChildByName('xx');
I have created a portfolio which is supposed to give the impression that it is my windows desktop that you are looking at. I have made it so that I can drag MSN Messenger around now, but I have come upon a problem I can't figure out.
I have two movieclips representing my windows. One for the open window, which contains the animation to open a windown from minimized, and the window in open state. And one which contains the animation of the window closing. The problem is that when I start to drag the movieclip, I don't know how to "lock" the close movieclip to the open moviclip, so that they remain op top of eachother. Also, the position on the stage the windows gets minimized to(and maximized from) moves with the movieclip, making it look stupid if you minimize a window after having dragged it. Look on "Om Mig" on the site to see what I mean.
Here is the site
Is there a way to fix the other movieclip to the drag, and is the a way to fix the position the windows tween to when they are minimize and maximized, after the movieclips have been dragged?[code]...
There is a mouseUpEvent listener attached to the stage in the main class, while dragging the movieClip the mouseUpEvent doesnot trigger the handler and the movieClip gets sticks to the mouse. While the item is being dragged and the mouse is moved away from the movieClip i.e somewhere not on the item but on the stage the mouseUp is detected.
Edit: Here is the scenario I am using a static (Singleton) class as a movieClip as a "DragManager".Whenever a movieClip has to be dragged it is passed to the DragManager and is added as a child,when a mouseUp from stage is detected another static function of dragManager is called to stop the drag and put the movieClip on the appropriate layer.Here is the static function in the DragManager which is called on MouseDown from variouslayers.
public static function startDragMethod(item:Item):void
{
instance.addChild(item); //This is the instance of the DragManager
var boundArea:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0,0,610,760);[code]...
my goal is to implement drag drop between various layers and with as less coupling as possible.
I have a draggable item, a MovieClip that calls startDrag() on itself when it is clicked, and another MovieClip on the stage.I need the MovieClip to receive ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT events while the draggable MovieClip is being dragged over it, but the lower clip doesn't receive these messages while a clip is being dragged over it.Essentially, ROLL_OVER is only sent to the topmost MovieClip under the mouse. Normally, you'd fix that with some combination of mouseEnabled or mouseChildren on the overlapping MovieClips, but if you do that to a draggable MovieClip, it breaks dragging. I need to detect when the mouse is over the lower MovieClip, regardless of what MovieClips are above it.

What I do to make the image draggable? *(The image is loaded when the swf starts but the image won't because I put the addChild() in a if() statement. Could it be that since the image isn't loaded, it can't be a movieclip?)

I have a situation where I am allowing the user to drag a movieclip by means of startDrag and setting a rectangle. However while they are dragging this about, I want to register when the mouse moves over another object, however I can't seem to get this to work while they are dragging the object.
View 2 RepliesI have read the tutorial: [URL], and I based my flash file off the code given there. I would like to, instead of letting the thumbnail_mc's scroll when you rollover them, have buttons on either side that scroll (slow when mouseover and fast when pressed) the mc's instead. Here is what I have, which doesn't seem to work:
Code:
previous_btn.onRollOver = function(){
thumbNailScroller(30);
};
next_btn.onRollOver = function(){
thumbNailScroller(30);

I have a scrollbar which is using a mask to work, then i have image thumbnails as a movieclip to scroll. The thumbnails are buttons that loads swfs into an empty movieclip on the stage using the loadClip.
My problem is that i cant get the loaded swfs outside the mask and the scroller, they load inside the mask and starts to scroll - as my movieclip with the thumbs are inside the mask.
how to load the swfs outside the mask/scroller? Or how i can solve this in any other way?
Recently I've been developing a new site that runs 100% with noScale. What I'm aiming to achieve is the ability for the user to move their mouse up and down on the Y Axis to effectively scroll the site. (Without having to click). I've tried adapting the Interactive Image Panner Actionscript from the Tutorial on kirupa - but it doesn't seem to be working quite right I've changed all the X Values to Y.
Code:
stop();
this.onMouseMove = function() {
constrainedMove(bg_mc, 4, 1); };
function constrainedMove(target:MovieClip, speed:Number, dir:Number) {
var mousePercent:Number = _ymouse/Stage.height;

The last couple of days I've been juggling with a news reader in flash (from the example tutorial here on Kirupa), and this works perfectly. My eye however fell on the scroller that is applied in this newsreader. For my websites I've used several sripts for scrolling, but this one suits me the best, and I would like to use it on more occasions. However the "problem" is that in the newsreader the scroller is used for scrolling a dynamic text field.Ideally I would like to apply it for scrolling Movieclips (like I used to do with the scroller I used in the past). Although I understand actionscrpit to a moderate level, this is a little to much for me. the script used for the scroller is this:
Code:
// global functions
Clamp = function(min, n, max){

I am creating Drag and drop flash application. While dragging an instance of a movieclip I want also the dropable region to show effect like MouseOver case. So that end user can confirm that they are dropping the item in right region. Here the mouse is moved while it is kept clicked .
View 8 RepliesI have an Event.ENTER_FRAME that fires, to move a scrolling image bar given where stage.mouseY is located. But, when the mouse leaves the movie clip I need to force the scroller to stop. The MOUSE_LEAVE event fires when the mouse leaves the movie, but I have no way of stopping the scrolling behavior because I can't set the mouseY coordinates by hand. Is there a way to change the mouse coordinates programmatically? Can you manually trigger and event to stop firing?
View 6 RepliesI am building a dynamic movie clip scoller in flash the swf at the moment returns all the images from the db using an asp page and does display them side by side! I am using a method of loading that I am not 100% sure about as I need to make the whole thing scroll left to right style....and right to left....
The code for this loading is ..
myLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
function loadPics() {
myY = 0;
myX = 0;
for (i=0; i<=_root.image_array_length-1; i++) {
_root.attachMovie("image", "image"+i, i);
this["image"+i]._x = myX;
etc...
Now when I am making this scroll I am confused as to what to target to make scroll - the 'image' movieclip is in the library and uses linkage identifer of 'image' for the script... and also seems to sit on the highest layer/depth each time....
my problem is that if you go over the menu text above my scroller it controls the scroller. I wan this areas movement to have no effect on the scroller below. is there a way to script my scroller to set it to this?
