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.
View 2 RepliesI have a simple popup dialog box which exists in a movieclip within the timeline of a loaded movie. I would like to be able to drag this dialog within the bounds of the parent movie (i.e. global stage) and not be confined to the dialogs parent clip and ultimately parent movie.
Within my dialog_mc I have a clip called drag_mc which the user clicks to drag dialog (the specifics are below)
Path:
_root.site_mc.gallery_mc.dialog_mc

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.
I have movie clip which I wish to drag in Y only.Code:
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 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.

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 want to apply actions to a movieClip nested inside a dynamicly attached movieClip, with the attachMovie method; it doesn't works when the movieClip is attached by a button:

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.

I have a script that loads an external image into the stage(I have the addChild() script somewhere else) but I keep getting an error that says:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Loader@b1b7101 to flash.display.MovieClip.
at project1_fla::MainTimeline/drag()

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.

I'm trying to build a styled, rounded button movieclip that I can reuse/resize. So inside a movieclip, I have two layers:
Layer 1: A border, which is a shape - a rounded rectangle (or actually the stroke of a rounded-rect).
Layer 2: A nested movieclip which contains a shape for the face of the button. I have added filters to this nested movieclip to give it a beveled-type look - typical rounded button stuff.
So, I've tried applying scale-9 to the parent movieclip: in this case the border scales fine, but the face (with the filters) does not. So, then I tried applying scale-9 to both the parent and the nested face movieclip,I want to be able have the button self contained as a clip which I can pull from the library, drop on the stage, and scale without distortion - and so far, as mentioned,I can't figure out how the get the nested face, the one with the filters applied, to scale appropriately.
I'm having a problem trying to get some nested movie clips to play. I have three movie clips on three different layers all on frame one of the parent layer. each layer has a labIe (well just call it "layer1", "layer2. "layer3") I have a stop command on the parent level (on its own layer). each of the three movie clips has its own animation (the nested animation). The lower two have a stop command in their first frame(nested) so they wont play. Only the top movieclip would play on run. I want to place a gotoandplay command in the nested timeline of the above movie, that will start to play the next lower movie clip nested timeline, as the above one is ending, and repeat this process to cylce back around to the top movieclip. The overall goal is to have one animation move into the other using nested timeline smoothly.
