Jul 18, 2003Is there a way to have the startDrag command not lock to the centre of a MC but to have it snap and drag from a set location, ie _x and _y positions, on a MC.

View 1 RepliesFlash :: Canvas Moved On StartDrag() Without Calling Set X / Y Or Move() - How Does StartDrag() Exactly Work In As3 / Flex
Feb 11, 2011i have an .as class that extends mx.containers.Canvas (it's a draggable border of a resizable component), it becomes draggable on MOUSE_DOWN and stops being draggable on MOUSE_UP, MOUSE_OUT and ROLL_OUT. before calling startDrag() i create a Rectangle to define the drag area, i also have a _dragging: Boolean variable to control if it's draggable at the moment. the problem is that when i click this border it jumps to a negative coordinate without calling startDrag or switching _dragging to true.
i've overriden get x, set x, get y, set y and move() methods in order to solve it but the only thing i got was the fact that position changes without calling coords setters or move(), but at the moment it's changed a getter is called and returns new (negative) value so my question is what happens on startDrag() and how to filter unwanted incoming coords values?
Actionscript 3 :: Flash - StartDrag() Within StartDrag() On Child MovieClip
May 19, 2011as you can see, I have a container MC which I have added to the stage. I set its drag constraints using a Rectangle(). I then add the 'cat' child movieclip to the container, and I want this to be dragable too. However, as soon as I click on my cat when testing the MC. It shoots to point x=0 y=0 on the stage and doesn't move.
The container MC can be moved without any trouble.
If I remove the rectangle bounds from the containers startdrag() function. both MC's can be dragged without any issue.

my_x = 800 - myImage.width;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating A Snapping Grid
Jun 22, 2009There's not that I can't do this, I just want the best way on how to. I want to create a grid in as3 and draggable items that snap to the grid. I guess you all know what I mean. The best way seems to create small boxes like explained in URL... Then add an addeventlistener to it that when the draggable item hits it, the x and y need to be set. Or is there an easier way?

Feb 21, 2011So I'm displaying data with a tilelist and a scrollbar. I want the use of the scrollbar, but I don't want totally free scrolling. For the rows I'm displaying vertically, I don't want to be showing like half a row, I want it to snap. I know this can be achieved with the up / down buttons of the scrollbar, but that's not the way I want it to work How would I be able to ensure that only a full row can be shown when scrolling?I've taken a look at the event you get when you subscribe to ScrollEvent from <TileList>.verticalScrollbar and they run through fl.controls::ScrollBar/handleThumbDrag and l.controls::Scrollbar/setScrollPosition before getting there, which obviously sets how the tilelist should be displayed.
View 3 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Pixel Snapping Loaded SWF
Jun 15, 2010I have a simple character rigging system that I'm working on and I'm running into a bit of a snag. I am trying out the system with a new character animation which has more subtle movements which flash appears to be using pixel snapping on. The result is that, since the eyes, nose, and mouth are all separate pieces and children of the head, their pixel positions are all being snapped a little differently and it looks like the pieces are just floating around on the face.
More background: The assets are SWF files loaded in at run time, they are not cached as bitmap, the issues only appear with small movements that make single pixel differences noticeable, the same animation loaded in as one swf and not rigged looks fine, but this is likely because that swf's x and y position is not changing, just the assets in it. It seems to me like flash is treating the loaded in facial assets as bitmaps with pixel snapping turned on.

Mar 12, 2012I have an imported png in a 'info_icon' symbol. I have another imported png in a 'info_content' symbol.
I have some code that allows you to drag an instance of a 'map' symbol around. Inside this map symbol are instances of 'info_icon' and 'info_content'.
When I drag the map slowly, I can see the info_icon instances and info_content instances, jiggle ever so slightly...I think to line up to pixels.
how to stop that. I'm looking at the pixelSnapping property and it doesn't seem to be helping..

ActionScript 3.0 :: Avoid MovieClip / Sprite Pixel Snapping?
Jan 30, 2011I've googled out a lot of different stuff on this matter but nothing seems to work. I have a Sprite object which is used as a main container for other objects.The lowermost child of this sprite is a Bitmap which represents a background, the upper ones are MovieClips. These movie clips contain bitmaps. There are also DropShadow filters applied to these movie clipsThe problem is that when the main container moves, e.g. 1.3 pixels to to the right or to the left (doesn't matter) all those objects (movie clips contained inside of it) move like they snap to pixels. Well,it's obvious, they do. But is it possible to avoid pixel snapping for movie clips and sprites?I tried to set pixelSnapping of the bitmaps inside those MovieClips to "never", but it doesn't work. Removing all filters or drawing movie clip to bitmapdata doesn't help either.

Mar 9, 2005I have seen a couple of flash movies of late that have a nifty element to them, when the user resizes his window the movie slides to the centre or relative position, rather than snapping.THIS SITE is one example of the effect I mean When you resize your window the text moves gradually to a relative position.How is this done? is it via action scripting or through the html/java?It is a nice little touch, I like it. Do you think if you can dictate the position of certain elements you can dictate the size of elements according to window size?

Oct 28, 2011I've created an mc which functions as my map and controls to go with that which allow the map to be moved around and key points navigated to and zoomed in on at varying zoom levels.I'm using scaleX and scaleY to scale the map mc and a list of x and y positions to correctly position the map for each key point. The map mc starts at 1:1 scale ratio with the screen and it's registration point is at 0,0.When I want to go to a certain area I perform this calculation (offsetX and offsetY are the center of the screen and posX and posY are predined offsets on the map):[code]
I now need to implement a zoom in / out function and this is what I'm struggling with. The zoom should use the center of the screen as the reg point for the scale, so I've been trying something along the lines of the following to get the correct x and y position to set after the scale:[code]I know this is wrong but I've shown this to give you an idea of my train of thought, I need to work out what the new x and y will be to ensure that the area that is being zoomed in on, stays in the center of the screen.So in my mind this gets the distance from the current position of the map relative to the center point of the screen (offsetX, offsetY) then scales that distance by the new scale.
