I am trying to flip a character in a game left/right when pressing the left/right key. I have got the movieclip to do this by changing it every time you press the key, but if you hold it down it spazzes and flips back and forth
var speed:Number = 10;
object_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {

I have a series of thumbnails that should scroll from left to right & right to left when you roll over the movie clip buttons on either side. IT was working in another flash movie, but I moved it to a different flash file and now it's not working. The hit buttons within the movie clip buttons have this action script:

I got this pretty much working, but there is a bug, when the bird is going right the trace statement says right but I get the movieclip flashing between flipping right and flipping left. So I assume its a problem with that bit of the code. Also this function is running constantly so I don't know if that might be an issue:
Code:
public function objDirection() {
trace('old' + oldX);
trace('charx' + char.x);
if (char.x>oldX) {
trace("Bird right");

I have an image that's being moved like so:

I am wanting to make a scroller similar to the Flash Components 360PanVeiwer[url]...but I have no idea about how I can go about doing it. Could someone please explain how i might acheive this in AS3 alo I don't necessarily need it to be 360 I just want to be able to scroll through a movie clip that is much bigger than my stage and click on the buttons in side the clip. I hope that makes sence.

What script would I use to move a movie clip say a cm to the left?
When I say this._parent.mc._x -= 3 it just keeps moving left, but it doesnt stop. I want it to move 3 left and then stop. How can i do this?
how scroll a movie clip across the stage with actionscript rather than tweening.
Basically I have a simple movie clip that consists of around 12, text only, buttons and I want mutiple instances of the movie clip to scroll left->right across the screen, repeating itself seamlessly. At the moment I am tweening it but the file size has become unmanageable.
I've a movie clip in the stage that moves from left to right.
And i whant to add more instances from that movie clip
I tried:
Code:
addChild(cloud);
stage.addchild(cloud);
Is there a way to show parts of a movie clip in different areas of the stage? Like if a sprite was to leave stage left and reappear stage right?
View 9 RepliesIs it possible to change the registration points of a movie clip say to top left or to centre for example using actionscript
View 1 RepliesI've loaded a clip in my main swf and I want to flip it by using scaleX*=-1the problem is that in my clip, the animation is at the center of the stage so when I load it and flip it using scaleX instead of staying at the same place it flips by using the top left corner of the clip as a pivot instead of the center of the animation itselfI could either solve this problem by placing the center of my animation on the point (0,0) in the clip or flip then rearrange the clip's x position inside my main swf...but is there a more effective method?
View 3 RepliesSo when you load a picture into a movie clip, it loads into the Top-Left hand corner.I really want it to load into the Top-Right hand corner. Is there a way?I am loading it via AS - not placing it manually, as I have a variety of images which are of different dimensions....
View 4 RepliesI have a MC, which i would like to act as a button, controlled by AS. So,inside the MC is a simple animation (the button just goes left for ten frames (preferred rollOver action) and then back for another ten (preferred rollOut action).On the MC actions I put:
on (rollOver) {
this.useHandCursor;
this.gotoAndPlay(1);[code].......
What happens is the following: on mouse over the mc goes left, on mouse out the mc goes back to its original place.It works exactly as it is supposed to. Exactly until you try again... if you move the mouse away from the mc (onRollOut), before the animation reaches the end, it goes bezerk.what happens and also how the animation can be done using only AS (with some for loop or function or something and chaning _x property)?
Regarding System.capabilities.screenResolutionX in FMX, how would I achieve a movie clip on my stage to automatically alight to the left of the screen/browser depending on the viewers screen resolution?

View 17 RepliesI am pretty new to ActionScript 3 and Flash. I don't want my movie clip to play unless the person's mouse curser is on the movie clip for more than a second. If the person just runs their curser over the movie clips really quickly, then it should do nothing. It must be more than a second. How do I code that?

I'm creating a small drag & drop activity, and I want to be able to check and see if the dragged movie clip is completely within the bounds of another movie clip (or at least in the bounds of a certain x/y zone on the main stage. I can't use dropTest because it returns true if any tiny bit of the movie clip overlaps with the dropTest movie clip.
I also thought of something that just checks the x/y coordinates of the dragged movie clip, but I'd need this to reflect a range of values rather than one coordinate. For instance, I'd want to return true if the movie clip's x is between 50-60 AND the y is between 50-60. I'm attaching a small graphic to illustrate in case my explanation isn't clear enough [URL]
I have created a flash website, each button is a movie clip with an invisible button over it containing the following script
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_profile_btn = true;
}
on (rollOut) {

each page is also a movie clip and on release of a button its played. the problem is that when i press another button to play another movie clip 'page' the old content is still there.
Is there a way of reversing the page transition i have used to bring out the movie clip and then bring in the next movie clip.
i am making a pacman game, and i need to know how to make it go to a certain scence when a movie clip collides with another movie clip.
View 2 RepliesThere is a bad gap in my knowledge with Event Dispatch and Event architecture, and this problem proves it. I've been getting nowhere on this problem for two days, I've posted everything to my Flash site. Go here, please: [URL] Click on "Flash Banners" The two thumbnails represent two different classes. Each class is identical. Both are "extends Movie Clip" classes. Tweeners of various types control the hover and click methods. URL Loaders load the thumnails which I then wrap in MC's and make them buttonMode = true, etc. Hover and click to load the Banners on the thumbnails.
I can't send an event from the Eagle movie clip or the T2D movie clip to tell the other to fade out. Both Banner classes are instantiated through a separate Base class. I'm sure this has to be an Event Dispatch from one MC to another and that it can't be done by the Base class. how I can send an Event or Event Dispatch and what the code structure is so one movie clip can in one class can tell the other movie clip in the other class to disappear while it's neighbour is playing. I'm happy to post code or explain / clarify anything that's not clear.
I've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.

I'm trying to get my clip to stay at the left of the screen on stage resize, but it isn't working. This is my code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
function resizeHandler(e:Event){
circleMenu.x = 0;
}
Obviously that doesn't work, but how do you get the global zero X position. When I resize the window, my clip moves along with it.
it seems simple enough but i have no idea on how i could get a movie clip to slowly move to the coordinates of another existing movie clip
View 5 RepliesI created a movie clip which plays ok. But when it ends there is a slight jump, if you will, when it goes back to frame 1 to begin playing again. Does anyone know how to make the transition unnoticeable from the last frame of a movie clip to the first frame of a movie clip?
View 4 Repliesiam tring to make a new project , i just wants to know how to make a movie clip ( constant speed ) follows anther movie clip <--- "which can be moved by the user "
<<<>>>> i believe that this idea is good , that i records the X and Y postion of the User's movie clip and just make the other movie clip points at this postion and move toward it ,
how to make the other Movie clip (( which is a car ! .. so it have acceleration , speed , steering , etc )) go to this position or let us say try to??
Q1) The registration point of a created clip is top left - my question is how can I dynamically change it's registration point - say to center center?
(I am trying to attach a movie clip to a created clip and I wanted it to be centered inside the container - a related sub-question, how can I find the x-y coordinates of the attached movie clip within the created movie clip?)
Q2)When I tried to create two different movie clips, I found I had to create them at different depths, else the first would load and the second would not. Why would that be so? I'm on MX 2004 Pro.
I have a very simple problem but I can't find the very simple solution to it. I've create an animated menu with animated movie clips inside to work as buttons. All the main buttons work perfectely but I've got just on button with a sub-menu. On this sub-menu I've placed an invisible hitarea button in order to place some gotoAndStop action. The thing is, it seems to me like this submenu hitarea are underneath something else (even though is the seccond layers right about the actions layers). I've placed a simple trace action whenever the mouse rolls over this area but I get nothing... Am I doing something really wrong? I'm losing all my hair already.
