ActionScript 2.0 :: Duplicating MCs At Mouse Position?
Apr 6, 2008
Im trying to create a spraycan that when the user holds down the left mouse button, creates foam movieclips at its point.
Im using startdrag to enable the can to be a cursor.
I was trying to put some script to the actual foam MC and have it triggering on mousedown. I guess Im not getting the code right:
onClipEvent(mouseDown) {
mc_foam.duplicateMovieClip("newfoam"+i, i);
_root["newfoam"+i]._x=_xmouse;
_root["newfoam"+i]._y=_ymouse;
}

Basically the x position of the mouse should control the play position of a movie. Do I need something like an event handler (I'm not sure exactly what these do, but I've seen similar scripts that seem to use them).

I have an Input Text area that users can edit and then submit. I need to be able to show, on screen, the cursor's current position as they type. I don't need to know where the mouse is but all work-arounds I've found so far can only tell me the mouse position. The font for the text is 'courier' or 'courier new' and the Input Text area is scrollable.

I create a button(MC) and want to duplicate it and easily change the text inside this button... basically I have an mc that acts as a button so inside the mc I have text that I added that animates on mouse rollover. Now I duplicate this mc in the library go into the mc and want to change the text, and when I do, the text in the original button also changes. This happens because the text is a Tween so it's using the same tween from the library for the new button. Is there a quick way to avoid this? I don't see anyway other than typing in the text again in the new button and animating it again.

I have a map application that when I use the mouse wheel the map will scale up or scale down. The next thing I want to do is to focus on the mouse pointer while zooming on the part of the map.
I have this code...
function focusMousePosition(){ onMouseMove = function (){ Stage.width = _root._xmouse; Stage.height = _root._ymouse; updateAfterEvent(); }}
var mouseWheelListener = new Object();var wheelNum:Number;
mouseWheelListener.onMouseWheel = function(wheelNum){ focusMousePosition(); if (wheelNum > 0){ map._xscale *= 0.9; map._yscale *= 0.9; }else{ map._xscale *= 1.1; map._yscale *= 1.1; }}Mouse.addListener(mouseWheelListener);

Code:
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL,mouseWheel);
function mouseWheel(event:MouseEvent) {
Map.scaleX = Map.scaleX + event.delta*.01;
Map.scaleY = Map.scaleX;
}
The problem with this code is that it scales from the registration point (0,0). Due to the other transformations I'm doing to this image at various times, it isn't possible to move the registration point. The image is larger than the stage and the user is able to drag it around. I want the mouse wheel to zoom in on the place the mouse is hovering over (or at a minimum...the center of the "view" they have...aka the stage)I tried doing this:
Code:
internalPoint = new Point(Map.mouseX, Map.mouseY);
externalPoint = new Point(stage.mouseX, stage.mouseY);
var matrix:Matrix = Map.transform.matrix;
[code]....
Which, incidentally, I'm using that whole portion of code to zoom into the state they will be in when they use the mouse wheel.

I am trying to get the mouse's position even when it is outside of the flash window. How can I do this?stage.mouseX/Y only returns the mouse position on the stage, not when the mouse is outside. Is there another way?

The closest I have come to is the basic mouse hide and then mouse show, however this only gives the illusion of the cursor not being there, however you can still use it. I would like the cursor to be 'disabled' within the flash movie for a limited time. Either by it disapearing and then reappearing, or by it being frozen in place

I have a panning background with buttons in it. It would be nice if when the button is pressed i could move the position of the mouse so that the movie pans and catches up with the new position. Is this possible?

I want to do something which is probably pretty simple but I've got absolutely no idea how to do it!What I want is for the Alpha value of an object (movie clip) to change depending on the x position of the mouse. So when the mouse is at 0 the alpha of the object will be 0%, and when it's at 100 the alpha will be 100%

So I'm working on my portfolio and I got this problem. The code posted scrolls the sprite "cellContainer" based on the position of stage.mouseY. Perfect.Problem is that I want stage.mouseY to equal the entire cellContainer height. Kind of like how a small tablet equals a huge monitor. So when stage.mouseY = 0,cellContainer.y = 0 and when stage.mouseY = stage.stageHeight, cellContainer.y = stage.stageHeight - cellContainer.height. Right now, it scrolls, but it takes a while to scroll throught the entire height of cellContainer. I want it to be proportional to stage.mouseY.
Actionscript Code:
private function scrollStart(e:Event)[code]....

My question is fairly straight forward: Is there a way to move the position of the mouse?within confines of the stage)I tried changing the value of mouseX/mouseY but it shows the following errors:I:FlashFlash ClassesMazegameMaze.as, Line 98 1178: Attempted access of inaccessible property mouseX through a reference with static type game:Maze.I:FlashFlash ClassesMazegameMaze.as, Line 98 1059: Property is read-only.

now i know how to attach a mc to the mouse position and how to offset an mc to the mouse position. however i would like to make an mc lag behind the cursor. im guessing this is done by creating a var that reads a previous position.

I've had a brief look around but couldn't find anything on this. I'm wondering if it is possible in flash ( I use CS3/AS3) to set the mouse position in the window, mouseX and all that are just read-only. Moving the cursor off the screen can become quite a problem for the game I'm making, so for example I'd like to be able to snap the cursor position to the centre.

I'm making a simple puzzle-building game. It's working, but I have just spotted an odd in-game behaviour...When I pick up a piece of the puzzle and move to the left side of the swf, the game runs at a playable frame rate. The farther I move the mouse to the right, the frame rate (or at least update rate) seems to drop.The only code it's running at that point is a method that checks which piece is carried and moves that piece's x and y coords to match the mouse.I've already tried using 'updateAfterEvent' with no change.

I've got a slider on my navigation bar that rides along with the mouse; movies play perpendicular to it as I scroll. If I click on the movie, I link out to another page (easy enough). However, the actual slider doesn't do anything more than look nice. I know that if I don't make this thing child proof, I'm going to catch grief about it. So I tried to set up a switch that links out according to range values y<0 && y>125. As it stands, I don't get any errors, it just always goes to default. I'm missing something.I could always try a gia-normous 'if' statement, but I thought that I'd give the switch a try.
