draw a line from the bottom left corner of a movieclip to the mouse pointer. I need the line to be "elastic" because both the movie clip and the mouse pointer will be moving. I've tried various things with lineto but have failed to get the line to redraw and follow the pointer.
View 4 RepliesI've read some previous post by others, and have got the concept of how to make it happen just need to ask a few specific questions, one is the action script for changing the movie to the cursor and telling it how to move as the mouse cursor, next question is how do i get to act as the mouse pointer for the whole page, for instance I'm using frames I've got my buttons in the left frame, with a banner it the nested top and then the pages of course load in the main frame, how when creating the mouse cursor do i get it to work all over the page? I wasn't sure if using the normal method if it acts through out the whole site or just over a flash movie.
View 3 RepliesI've been searching Google and this site for tutorials for this and can't find anything which seems to fit what I'm looking for. I'm trying to divide the screen in 2 and then allow user to rollover the middle of screen - when they do, depending which direction they drag, the bottom or top of the screen bulges and then springs back into place.

View 1 RepliesI'm currently creating a navigation bar for a project using flash cs4, action script 3.
As you can see in the picture there is a navigation bar, and inside this bar there is a small rectangle and two lines (located at the first located at x=25 and the second x=555).
I want the rectangle to follow the mouse but be slightly delayed (elastic?).. Another requirement is that rectangle only moves on the x axis and therefore the y axis doesn't change(it is y=68), but doesn't move further than the two lines. The rectangle is a movie clip and its name is 'rectangle'
I pretty much want it exactly the same as this [URL] except the ball can only move on the x-axis and in between the two lines.
I've got a simple function that makes a movieclip drift over to wherever the mouse is..
It's a nicer effect than just making the mc._x and mc._y = _root._xmouse and _ymouse.. The problem I'm having is that if the mouse is in the top corner of the screen when the movie clip loads, the mc zips off to that corner too. I want the mc to stay in the middle of the screen when it loads and to move in the direction of the mouse when the mouse moves.. The mc still needs to be able to be moveable accross the entire width of the screen however.
I have tried storing the _xmouse value at the time the movieclip loads, and then offsetting my function with this value - which has the desired effect, but prevents the mc from being able to be moved all the way to the edge of the screen.. Hope that makes sense - Has anyone got any solution to this?

I am using the following code on the main timeline
Mouse.hide();
target.onMouseMove = function() {
this._x = _xmouse;
[Code]....
And on the movie clip (target) that i am using for the custom pointer, i've put
onClipEvent (load) {
startDrag(true);
}
How can i constrain the pointer to an area of lets say 800x600 ?
On the site above, the designer has managed to replace the mouse pointer with a plus (+) or minus (-) depending on where the mouse pointer is (either the left hand side of the screen or the right).I'd like to know how I could achieve this via AS3, if this is a possibility.
View 6 RepliesI have three large movieclip buttons on stage which change color on mouseover. When the user clicks on one of these, the buttons are hidden for the user a few seconds (timer). When the buttons reappear, and if the mouse pointer is already over one of these buttons, I would like the button to have the mouseover color. As it is now, the user has to move the pointer away and back on the button to change it's color.
So I would like to get the instance name of a movieclip under the mouse pointer after a timer completes. I tried this[code]....
I've managed to find the tutorial for custom mouse pointers but I haven't managed to find quite what I need.What I want is a mouse pointer thats actually a car (an overhead view) that rotates as tho it was driving. So its orientation is dependent on the direction the mouse pointer is moving. Basically I want the car to face the direction its driving in.

View 7 RepliesI have a large background mc that is bigger than the the stage. On the first frame I have this [code]...
it scrolls left, right, up, down, and even diagonally. But lets say I want to have a certain area on the right side where if the mouse pointer is within that area the mc does not scroll at all, but if not in that area, mc will scroll right.
I'm not really replacing the mouse cursor exactly. Just placing a custom image of a pointer below it so it will follow the mouse cursor as it moves around the screen. I want this pointer image to move with the mouse and to rotate and point in the direction the mouse is traveling. Simple stuff. The problem is that the rotation of the pointer graphic is not smooth at all. It is jumpy and somewhat erratic particularly at slower mouse speeds. When the mouse is moving quickly the problem seems to go away.
PHP Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
public class MouseFollower extends Sprite {
private var pointer:Pointer = new Pointer(); // ...a simple triangle mc

How can i use a MovieClip on the stage instead of Mouse Pointer?
View 1 RepliesI have the gun all coded and setup, it's an automatic weapon that fires at the mouse as long as you hold down the trigger, seems simple enough. It updates the target point whenever the user clicks or moves the mouse.My problem though, is that it can't so easily update the target when the user moves their avatar via keyboard keys. As they do this, the target remains at a constant point in worldspace, getting farther and farther from the mouse pointer until they click again or move the mouse. While not a huge issue, this is annoying.A dirty solution I can think of would be updating the target point according to camera movement so that it should follow the mouse even when the mouse isn't moving. This solution seems like a lot of unnecessary work though and I'd like to explore the apparently simpler route first.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a new site: [URL]. However, I've got some problems with my reflection of the mouse-pointer. The problem is that I don't know how to create the fake 3D effect, because now when you move your mouse over "Identity" the reflection is above the real mouse. I was thinking to put a mask, so the reflection cannot go above the real mouse, but then there is no reflection.

View 3 RepliesI've got a large item on screen that can be dragged around by the mouse. I've simply put an invisible button on the item with:
on(press) {
this.startDrag();
}
[Code].....
but if I move the mouse pointer outside the stage area while dragging the item and release the mouse button the release is not detected and the drag stays activated and I have to bring the pointer back to the stage and click and release on the button again to stop the drag.
Is there a way to deactivate a drag when the mouse is released outside the bounds of the stage, perhaps by using a different method that doesn't rely on a button?
I have a basic script that moves a movieclip to the opposite Y position of the mouse pointer:
Code:
var cP = this.createEmptyMovieClip("centerPoint", 1);
cP._x = Stage.width / 2;
cP._y = Stage.height / 2;
var myBox = cP.attachMovie("boxMC", "myBox", 2, {_y:cP._y});
cP.onMouseMove = function() {
myBox._y = (cP._ymouse * -0.9);
};
Everything works great, but I'd really love to be able to ease the box to it's Y position, rather than moving it to it's final position immediately. I'm having a difficult time with it because the box is moved based on the mouse position, which obviously doesn't ease.
I have a cursor class and i wanna make it so the cursor change to state 'over' whenever the hand cursor is there. I dont want to add an event listener for every roll over in my page.
