ActionScript 2.0 :: Gravity ''active'' When Mouse Button Release?
Oct 8, 2010
Currently, I'm developing a drag 'n' drop 'snap' game in flash. The meaning of this game is to drag ''crates'' from a boat and load the crates into a train.
What I got working in AS2:
- The crane arm follows the mouse cursor.
- It can drag and snap objects(crates)
But what still need to works is:
- When mouse button on object is released, the object (crate) is still floating in the air. When released mouse button, the object must fall down. (gravity)
I have a button that is called to the stage using AS. When the user releases that button, a global variable is populated and the pageShell movie clip is removed and re-attached using the new variable info. When I run the movie, I get the following in the output panel: **Error** Mouse events are permitted only for button instances on (release:<name>){ I'm not sure why this is happening because the symbol being used (<idname>) is a button.
I have three buttons on screen that navigate to different places on the timeline. I have set them all up as buttons using a generic button in the library and then given them all different instance names. I selected the button and changed the text colour for each state in the timeline (up, over, down) to keep it simple. The buttons are all, as far as I can analyse, identical in all but instance name.
When I test the movie, the first button changes text colour on 'over' and, when I click (i.e. down state) the colour changes again as designed. The navigation action doesn't occur until I release the mouse button, giving the feel of having 'clicked' the button.
With the other two buttons, which have been set up as far as I can tell in exactly the same way, when the down state occurs, I see a momentary flash of the text colour change and it performs the nav straight away. I really want it to perform the same way as the first button but cannot for the life of me see why they're behaving differently.
I have a flash app loaded in an iframe. User mouses down in flash and goes outside of stage. When user goes outside of stage, is there a way to release the mouse capture from flash so that parent receives further mouse events and not the flash app?
In Firefox and Chrome, parent doesn't receive events until the user mouses up
In IE, parent receives event when the user goes outside of stage.
Check this code onClipEvent (load) { k = .2; damp = .9; grav = .1; [Code] ...... Cos after giving the code to mc its not responding in any terms except the drag and drop to the invisible button..
I have a menu with five nav buttons (atcually MovieClips). Each has three frame labels: "on", "stay", and "off". The rollover and rollout animations play flawlessly, but I'm at a loss as to how to give each button a sticky "active" state. I'd like the button to stay in it's active state until another button is clicked, then I would like it to play it's "off" animation. Each MC has this code:
I want to do something very similar to the resizing effect on this website.

Basically if you resize the browser, it seems like it's programmed to only display/load/transition in the images once the user lets go of the mouse and the browser is done moving.
I would like to know if there is a Resize on mouse release event or a work around to do this. Currently my images keep refreshing every time you drag/resize the browser screen, before you let go of the mouse.
So basically while your dragging the browser window size to different size it keeps reloading and updating the images. I want it to reload and update the images once the user is done dragging and resizing the browser.
when i draw anything using any tool on a layer it disappears as soon as i release the mouse button, then when i click the timeline it reappears again but when you are drawing having your image not on the screen makes it kind of impossible do draw anything I saw another guy with a similar problem who made this video [URL] I tried reinstalling the software ( im using the demo) whats going on? I was hoping to get to play around abit before my trial ended
I'm struggling to get the mouse to release an object while in runtime...If I select the object to drag, and then drag it to the end of my stage without releasing, then go off the stage with my mouse and resize the window (x co-ords), the object seems to have an increment to the stage size, so hence when my mouse returns to the stage, the object is not "under" the mouse cursor anymore, which means it never registers the onRelease command given?
Is there a way that I can force a release on objects using AS2.0 code with another button, like a reset button?I have created the reset button, and it sends the object back to it's original place (where I picked it up), but it still has the same issue. (because the reset button is not near the point of pick up.) So... Forced "onRelease" was my solution, I just can't figure out how to do it...
I'm having trouble getting buttons to play sounds when pressed. It works when I just have one button. However I have multiple buttons that need to play diff't sounds
I have a button on screen which is removed with removeChild when a certain timer event fires. However, if my mouse is on top of this button when the timer goes off, the button is removed but the mouse remains active (it's still a little hand cursor) and as soon as you move the mouse at all, the button fires its MOUSE_OUT event.
What I would like to happen is for the button to disappear and if the mouse is above it the mouse will simply go back to an arrow cursor and most importantly the MOUSE_OUT event won't be fired (in my case the event triggers a sound effect).It seems to me that the way to make that happen would be to set my button to null. However I use this button every time the user completes a level so it seems wasteful to null it and rebuild it ever time when i can simply add/remove it.
I'm quite comfortable with hiding the mouse cursor and putting a movie clip in it's place - although the trouble starts when I try to tell it to load another movie when the mouse is clicked - then once realeased going back to the original movie clip !I have attached a FLA i've been working with - this is what i'm aiming for without the hotspot_mc - I would like the mouse to work the same across the whole page and be able to click on buttons etc, like a normal mouse click would !
i'm trying to use if statements but can't get this thing to work i want to check if another button is visible on release of a button to determine what action to be taken.the 'gotoAndPlay("firstscene",1)' is just there as an outcome, will be changed later. anyway this is the code i've got on the button i'm pressing. blobyellow2 is an instance of a button blobyellow is it because it's an instance that it's not working?
[Code]...
edit: sorry forgot to put what's wrong with the code. it acts as though the statement is correct no matter if it is or isn't.
I want to make a button (or graphic) active and visible if another button is clicked. But it must be invisible and unclickable before the other button is clicked. (this is a "find the differences between the 2 pictures game" and I want circles to appear over the differences that the user finds but only after he clicks it)
The button (or graphic) I want to become active has instance name of "sockcircle_btn" The button you click to make it appear is called "sock_btn"
In the first frame of the sockcircle_btn layer, this is my code
sockcircle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,sockcircledisable); function sockcircledisable(evt:MouseEvent):void{ sockcircle_btn.mouseEnabled = false; }
In the sock_btn frame (frame 3) this is my code
sock_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,sockcircleenable); function sockcircleenable(evt:MouseEvent):void{ sockcircle_btn.mouseEnabled = true; }
The file is setup to loop between frames 2-3. But the sockcircle_btn never enables even when sock_btn is clicked.
The other is a scrub that manipulates a MovieClip, but tracks a change in mouse position from click to release, instead of tracking the changes in position of a slider playhead. But here is the download for that one:(sorry not a link due to not having over 50 posts yet, you will need to copy and paste)I have found plenty of AS1+2 ways of doing this idea, yet just haven't found any solid AS3 versions.I am currently in a class to learn Actionscript and have tried to figure out this problem yet I am just not yet to that level.
I am trying to find a way to make a movie clip resize larger on mouse release, then resize back to the original size on a second mouse release. I have tried many ways to do this but seem to be unable to come up with a solution. I have been using mc Tween.
Underlined Text On (rollOver) Is there an action script to do on (rollover) underline text? It would be on a button that would also, on (release) gotoAndPlay a frame. I know you can have a movie with AS like this:
[Code]....
But when I add the on (release) to the movie it doesnt advance the timeline on (release). And when I change the file to a button instead of a movie clip it doesnt do the underline on (rollOver).
Buttons allow 'Up' , 'Over', 'Down' and 'Hit area' , but how do you show an 'ON' status or 'ACTIVE'. Say the user has pressed the button and you want to show that it it active after the user has released and moved the mouse off the button?
It controls a collection of 6 "slides". Each slide has a corresponding button, and it also slides every x seconds when the mouse is still. I'd like the buttons (b1 through b6) to change once they are pressed (to a similar image, just with a black dot in the center, which shows it is selected) and then return once another one is selected. I have a very minimal knowledge of actionscript
I'm trying to get some buttons to work that I have in a timeline. These buttons are on top of each other and are called to be visible only when a certain image comes up.my problem is the the topmost button is the only one active, because all the buttons are "on" even though you can't see them.currently buttons are set to alpha.0 at the beginning. I know there's a way for them to only be active when they are visible, but I can't find the documentation.I have my code started as such:
I have a movieclip that reacts to the cursor postion, but when the movie is embed into a browser such as firefox, i dont want the button to be active until the cursor has actully rolled over the flash movie as it seems to be active before the cursor has hit the actual flash object?
I want to disable my button on release and also want to change its appearance (may be like as "DOWN" status). I am using below code lines to disable it
I have a movie that consists of various audio files fading in and out of various scenes as the timeline progresses. The current mute button I've created only appears to stop the audio track currently playing when pressed. How do I silence the movie from the point of button release until the movie has played to the end? Just as an FYI, the audio files are loaded and managed manually on the timeline itself.
Im making a soundboard and I chose AS3 by accident.What I need the code to do is STOP the CURRENT sound from playing if another is pressed. the code that worked for AS1 and AS2 was onMouseDown [code] plays the sound once and messes the sound up after playing for only half a second or not at all.
Im creating a simple flash presentation and i have created four buttons, what i want to now do is make each button go to a differant frame on the timeline, im guessing this is go to and stop? But i cant figure it out [URL]
I like to know how to pursue this effect to have the active button highlighted. So visitors know which page are they on. Second part is how to have the fade out effect on the rest while have mouse over on certain text
I have a movieclip that I'm using as a button- the rollover state is on frame two, the up state is on frame one and I used actionscript to apply the different actions. All of the actions work fine normally, but about 25% of the time only part of the button is active. The mouse doesn't change to the hand symbol and the rollover/release effects don't work on most of the button, just on a small band around the perimeter of the button. Its not like it happens every time and there doesn't seem to be any consistency in what causes it.
