ActionScript 2.0 :: Floating/Moving Movieclip Within Bounds Of Current Location
Nov 8, 2010
I've creating a site that has a long horizontal line of fullscreen background images. Currently, moving the mouse left and right scrolls the images right and left.
I also have left and right arrows also for cycling through the images. I have several arrays with various bits of data about the images to help with the cycling. 1 array contains all the widths of the images Another contains all the x positions of the containerClips within image_mc.
The images are in a mc like so
mcholder.image_mc.containerClip0
mcholder.image_mc.containerClip2
mcholder.image_mc.containerClip3
....
mcholder is on the root.
What I would like to do, is instead of continuous scrolling left and right, I only want the user to be able to scroll about 20-30px past each image, (I'm guessing based on the current image_mc._x
When a user clicks an image it tweens into place and onComplete function stores the current image_mc._x value in a currentImageX var.
I'm not sure how to this to limit my left and right scrolling when not clicking.
My current scrolling code is this.

I'm trying to create a drag motion by using mouse_down then the mc = mouseX. Here is an image of the situation
But when I click, the mc always jumps to its registration point, which is the top left corner atm.
I can't work my head around how to grab the current location of the mc. Note that the mc (all_mc) is wider than the stage.
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(e:MouseEvent) {
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveHandler);
}
[Code]....
Ok I kind of worked out the x location of the mouse in relation to the registration point of the mc (the registration is at the top left):
Math.abs(stage.x - all_mc.x) + mouseX
But how to I select that point of on the mc?

I am using attachMovie function to dynamic attached MCs depending on the database. How can I overwrite the current attachMovie MCs with a new set of MCs at the same position and location after a click on a next button?

Having a problem with a little animation involving balloons floating in and then floating out again when a condition is met. There are two ways they can float in or out: from left to right, or completely randomly. I actually like it as coming in (left to right) and going out (random) but it's essentially up to the user.
Since I moved my Array sort code into the function that basically deals with telling the balloons to float off though, I've been having problems. Sometimes one or a couple of the balloons will not float off and I'm kind of boggled as to why. Because it works fine IF the Array sort part is outside this function, I'm wondering whether, when the for loop at the bottom starts running, the Array is still being sorted and that's why some balloons get left behind.

I need an actionscript that moves 1 dot to random location. This dot is over 200 frames, would I have to put an action on every one of those frames...and note that I said Move not jump to another place.

Issue: I need to move a rectangle (that has only sides and no fills) to a specific location on the animation, what happens is that if the user enters some info (through HTML form processed by PHP and sent to the movie through FlashVars), this info should then me find the x and y coordinates of a button that should then be overlapped by this said rectangle.Code:
Code:
if (_root.signUp == 1){ // the FlashVar variable flag
var buttoSym= "_root.thumbMain.thumbSymbol.b" + _root.signNumber

I have a "circle_mc" movie clip and its registratoin is in the center but it moves and works fine but i dont want it to go off the stage half way I want it to stop before it goes off
ActionScript Code:
circle_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this.dx = Math.round(Math.random()*Stage.width);
this.dy = Math.round(Math.random()*Stage.height);
this.onEnterFrame = moveIt;
}; function moveIt() {
this._x += (this.dx-this._x)/10;
this._y += (this.dy-this._y)/10;
if (Math.round(this._x) == this.dx) {
this._x = this.dx;
}}

I'd like to make a movie clip float about, but stay in roughly the same spot? I'd imagine a simple bit of AS inside an onClipEvent (enterFrame) would work.

I'm trying to export my movie clip into an image, everything works fine but when the user draws in negative coordinates, the draw bitmap command doesn't get my movieclip as I need, here's a graphic explanation of what's going on:As you can see the user can draw in any part of my movie clip (black border), the 0,0 coordinates are in this example located in the black spot. when I get the bounds of my object I get correct values (in this case i get negative x and y and the correct width and height), but when I apply the draw bitmap command what its captured is the area represented with the red border, the height and width values are correct but it captures from the 0,0 coordinates and not from the coordinates I want! anyone? i have a dead line approaching.this is the code:
ActionScript Code:
//funciones click
function exp_cli(e:MouseEvent):void {

I have some floating window that opens above my page. The problem is that I don't want buttons above to be trigerable. I tried to put an movieclip on bottom layer of floating window and tell him not to show hand cursor, but it looks as if my floating window is transparent. I could still push buttons below and cursor would change into hand. [URL] go to button "ostalo" and click any of galleries. Then go over reed floating window and you'll notice that you can push buttons underneath.

I posted this question a few days ago but didn't get a response, so I think perhaps I put it in too specific a context. I thought I'd try again and couch the question in more general terms this time. Unfortunately I can't move on with my work until I get this issue solved!
What I need to do is find a way to see if there is a MovieClip at a particular spot. So, say I have a random point and a bunch of random MovieClips. At this random point, there may be any of the MovieClips or there may not. I won't know what these are in advance. I need the ActionScript to tell me if there is ANY MovieClip at this random spot - and, if there is, what MovieClip it is.

I have a bouncing ball movie clip that is being controlled by a guide layer. As the ball bounces I am rotating both the guide layer movieclip and the ball movieclip.
I need to find out where the ball is in relation to the stage. When I look at the balls x and y values they are in relation to the guide layer movieclip.
Is there a way to relate the location of the ball to stage coordinates as it rotates?

I'm creating a history timeline and I would like to make sure that when the dragger on the scrollbar is on a certain time period, the movieclip is on that time period as well. Is there a way to have the dragger to listen for when it reaches a specific time period on the scrollbar and have it align the movieclip appropriately?

I am working on a flash file that imports xml data. This data gets run through a for loop and each xml child gets its own movieclip called menuItem. Then the various instances of menuItem are randomly placed on the stage. However, they always overlap to some extent. I don't want this.
So, how would I make sure they don't overlap? I looked at the hitTest function but it seems to require 2 different movieclips to check for the collision. I only have one movieclip with multiple instances.

I am trying to make an object tween from its starting location to the location of a mouse click. I have a script, but it has a very annoying ease to it.I would LIKE the object to mantain a certain speed during while traveling from its starting location to the mouse click location.

I created a simple button that displays an error messeage: "error opening 'url" when I test the movie, but does play and opens in browser after publishing. However, it won't open in the browser in a different location. I pasted the html code in a web page but it doesn't work there nor opens in the browser in a differnet location from where it was originally published and saved. Why is that?

I've set up an associative array and then loop through each object in the array to animate it.Later on, however,I have a function that will manipulate these objects.How do I set up a command in the loop that will track the location of each object for later use in the next function, as each of the objects will continue to move around the stage until user presses key to send them to another location? (the final location for the tween is known, but not it's original location as it's free to move around until the tween function is activate).I'm looking into getChildIndex, but can't find enough info to understand how this works and whether it's what I need.

My problem is that I have a moveiclip (called "clip") and I have other movieclips on that stage that are "branches", and those branches are made up of branch parts. These branch parts are in a movieclip called (branchpart) and some of these have been placed on the branch stage. When I am on the clip stage and I try to get the location branch[i].branchpart[j].x and ranch[i].branchpart[j].y,this location is given in the coordinates of the branch stage, not the clip stage. These branch parts are being moved in complex ways with respect to one another, so I am hoping that I can simply access the location on the clip stage of a single part without having to deconstruct the whole branch.

Code:
moviclip.swapDepths(movieclip._y);
and it worked perfectly.
but I decided that I wanted to continue the development of the game in AS3 (so that it will be more up to date and I could learn the new syntax), and I found the equivalent to swapDepths is setChildIndex. so I followed the new rules and came up with this code:Code: setChildIndex(character_mc, character_mc.y);but, sadly it does not work the same. the game becomes extremely laggy and almost unresponsive, but becomes normal again if I remove the code. So, my question is how can I add a similar code for this to work properly.

Here is my setup, I have an MC with a line, this line is tweened to move to the right, using a custom easing tool, it has a very elastic animation to it. It then, with similar elastic effect, moves back to the left. I also have an MC with a box placed directly right of the line. What I want to do is get the box to contract then expand based upon the x location of the line mc. My reason for this is that the elasticity of the animation for the line would make it very difficult for me to do this manually get the effect I desire, so I'm assuming theres some simple property I can use that calls the location of x then sets the proportions of the box based upon that.

how can I get the current frame of a MovieClip.It's an animation that just loops over and over when its opened with ctrl+enter.On the stage its just one layer and one frame, but when it's double clicked, it has its own timeline with 20 frames.
Actionscript Code:
//what i had but it shows frame 1trace(myMovieClipInstance.currentFrame);
display the current frame when it changes. So something with a while loop. Like while the movie clip is playing, display the current frame.

supposing there is a movieclip in stage.. let's say its a circle with an instance name of "theCircle"..
the circle has to move / go to / animate to a random location on stage every 5 seconds... basically, the circle should move to the random location, stop and wait for 5 seconds, then move again to another random location.. again and again...
the code below is untested and incomplete.. but it is what i am trying to do... how i should go about this...
ActionScript Code:
var randomXPosition:int;
var randomYPosition:int;
var positionTimer:Timer;
[Code]....
on the moveCircle function, i can simply set the X and Y of the circle equal to randomXPosition and randomYPosition... but that would just change the location of the circle, not move it.. i am trying to make the circle animate towards that location at a constant speed..

I'm setting up a project that has a list of 45 words. The user should be able to drag the words into an area on the stage, as many as they want, but unable to proceed until they have only 5 words in the selected area. I started off by making each word a movieclip and making them draggable, but wondered if there was a way to simplify the code rather than putting it on all 45 movieclips, if there was a way to have it know which one i'm currently dragging.
Then I was unsure how to keep track of how many were in the area. If i have a count that gets increased for each hittest, it goes up and up, but you can continually redrag the same word on which is wrong. But the user needs to be able to drag words out, so I can't disable them when they hit.

I am creating a flash file to display products.
Product details and images are stored in XML File.
What i am trying to create is something similar to banner on [URL]
The addition to this is that products will be scrolling right to left automatically if there is no interaction from user, and product at the center will remain highlighted.
I have created a long strip of Products cover with a mask, the long strip keeps moving to give a scrolling effect.
