I'm doing simple program to design kitchen. I'd like to avoid overlapping my movieclips but i dont know how. It means that when you drag movieclip - it would stop when it meets another movieclip. In others words, movie clip can be anywhere but not on the other movieclip.
View 1 RepliesI have to display a multitude of labels on-screen without overlap.The label positions should be as close as possible to the features they describe. The features may be points, lines, or polygons on-screen (imagine any variety of map).I have to satisfy the following requirements in my application:labels must be positioned to avoid overposting (overlap) with other labels..labels must be positioned to avoid overlapping with other features (polygons and line segments) optimum position for a label is above and to the right of the feature they describe below and to the right is less acceptable least acceptable positions are to the left.I need to come up with a method for doing this.Before I just start attempting to do this at random, I am hoping someone here may have already done this and be able to give me some advice as to where to start.Basically, with the labels, I could use bounding boxes to compare them to each other. Although I don't know a good way to do this. With the line segments and polygons onscreen that they are labeling, I really don't have a clue what I should do to avoid overlap. I am hoping it won't require much more effort on top of avoiding the overlap of the labels themselves.
I think repulsion would work if I only had to deal with labels overlapping other labels. But if I have a line segment drawn across half the screen, I don't know how I can avoid overlap with that using the repulsion technique.The language I am using is Actionscript 3 and the Flex framework. I don't believe Flex has any layout manager classes like there are in Java Spring that can do this work for me.Anyway, links or suggestions would be welcome. I can allow for some brute force; I don't see how I can accomplish this otherwise.

I am a Flash MX user, I have three files named PARENT.SWF, CHILD.SWF, and CHILD2.SWF. The PARENT.swf loads the CHILD.SWF, The CHILD.SWF loads, then the file CHILD.SWF loads another swf file: CHILD2.SWF
Now my question is: How can the file CHILD.SWF unloads itself to avoid overlapping with CHILD2.SWF on the screen. I try the command: removeChild(CHILD); from CHILD.SWF but it doesn't. work.
Code:
if(_root.selmovie.hitTest(this._parent)){
_root.hit.text="it worked";
}
Why doesnt this work? I want to avoid naming all of the movieclips that this hittest is to apply to but this._parent isnt working...

I need a way to blend two movieclips each with an alpha between 0% and 100%, and instead of adding the two overlapped parts together, i need the colour to be an average of the two overlapped parts.
Ive been looking for a few different ways to manage this. The reason I need this effect is to do a realistic motion blur for a moving ball (which can be in any direction).
Is it possible to detect multiple overlapping movie clips and subsequently telling the user which clips s/he has moused over? Basically, I'd like to have a set of movie clips that are in different shapes overlapping each other (ie, a set of letters...A, B, C), and when the user mouses over a certain area, only A & C would be revealed (if they are being moused-over) but not B. Basic Listener/MouseOver tests seem to only show the top most clip, rather than others below it.

Basically what I'm trying to do is build an interface out of a fan of cards. I've got the the whole fan as a movieclip and then individual movieclips of the cards inside that have rollover animations.My issue is the rollover works on the cards arranged behind the cards that have the cursor over, which I don't want to happen.e.g see attachment.here's the rollover actionscript i've got on each card:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.nextFrame();

I am creating a memory sequence game and I was wondering:
1. Is there a way to random position movieclips on the stage without having them overlap each other?
2. Is there a way to have flash draw a vector line from one clip to another in sequence and then have the user retrace what flash did? I have 6 movieclips on the stage, each with their own instance (ex. obj1_mc, obj2_mc, etc.). Is there a way to tell flash to always draw a line between movieclips in sequence even though the movieclips are randomly placed on the stage?
I have two movie clips physically overlapping, one nested inside the other:
green
green.blue
An onRollOver function is included in each movie clip. I can get the onRollOver function to execute for the parent clip (green), but cannot get the function within the nested clip (blue) to work. Attached is an .fla document with an example of my problem.
Is it possible to attach mcs at random locations without the possiblility of them overlapping?

View 4 RepliesIt seems it isn't possible at runtime to change styling defined in CSS files, ex.: colors. This is seemingly because the CSS files are compiled into SWF. Is it possible to externalize styling information in CSS (or any other format) without compiling it to SWF file so that it can be changed easily at runtime just as normal CSS can be changed when it is used in HTML.
View 3 RepliesI have a movieclip, a square, which I would like to have moving around on stage, avoiding the mouse if you "chase" the movieclip. all the threads I have found have been with Actionscript 1.0 or 2.0. I tried converting it to AS3, but failed.
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, avoidTouch);
function avoidTouch(event:Event):void {
var distx: int = noTouch_mc.x - mouseX;
[code]....
Im stuck. I want to make it calculate the distance from the mouse to the NoTouch_mc and if it gets below a certain number, make the noTouch_mc move away from the mouse.If it could be made so it never leaves stage, that I'd like to incorporate too, but wouldn't I have to consider sinus and cosinus to an angle to make it turn?
iam using following code to scroll map. when scrolling horizontal or vertical, it scrolls perfect without any jerk(stutter) but when scroll diagnol this stutter happens.

var maxX=(stageW/2)+32;

I am creating a menu with nested MCs, of course, and the parent MC is using a RollOver action. The problem with that is: all other nested MC's RollOver action are not detected. I know you can use a mouse hitTest as a work-around i.e.:
Code:
onEnterFrame = function(){
if(this.hitTest(_xmouse,_ymouse,true)){
//do whatever
}}
But I'd like to avoid using that if possible.
every time i click on a button called create, an avatar is added to the stage. The positioning of each avatar is random and every picture is resized to fit 95x95 pixels.How can I check if I have positioned an avatar over an existing one? I am trying to avoid positioning them in the same space.
View 2 RepliesI currently have a login form in flash that needs to pass variables to a PHP script. That part works fine. The problem I am having is that when Flash passes the variables to PHP, it also passes the style of the input text.
For example, instead of passing "atomstore", it passes
"<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">atomstore</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>".
This does not match the "atomstore" in the database and results in an error. Any way to get rid of all of these tags?

I've been trying all morning to figure this out but I'm really not the best when it comes to actionscript. I've looked around and I just simply don't have a clue how to adopt other code to fit my own .I have the following code

When running flash on a web page you usually have to click the Flash object once and then once again to click a button.
Is there a way to avoid this because many users are missing the second click and wondering why nothing is happening.
I'm looking to force the cursor to slow down/stop moving when it gets close to a MovieClip. Idealy you would be able to rollover the MovieClip when moving the cursor slowly but if the cursor is moving at some speed, it would be forced to stop at the edge of the MovieClip.
