i have a problem in moving the mask with mouse
what is the right code
here is the code i use
// myImage is bakground image
// myMask is masking
stop();
myImage.setMask(myMask);

I have a startDrag function set up on a loader and mask that when the mouse is down on the loader it drags, when not it doesn't. There is also 2 buttons that control whether mask1 or mask2 is used. What i would like however is when the mouse is down - the area of the loader outside of the mask is visible but only by about 10/20% alpha, that way the user can see where all the image is while dragging. Is this possible? Full code can be seen below and i have attached the zip with the .fla file:

Mask causing text under it to appear to move...I have a mask that scrolls to the right over text.Before the mask comes on stage the same text is on a different frame before it in the exact same coordinates. But when the mask appears it makes the text under it seem to slightly move to the left. I've realized it is the mask that makes this seem to happen.I'm probably not doing something right with the mask, but I'm not sure.

What steps do I need to undertake to accomplish the seemingly impossible task?
I was wondering how you could move an empty movieclip that is set as a mask?
PHP Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mask", 1);
mask.setMask(square);

I have tried everything I can think of but I just can't get my mask to move with my content when my stage is resized.
I am using flex and I embed symbols/assets in an assets class then instantiate them in my main class and call addChild on them.
I have a Sprite (maskSprite) that is the same size as the content, and I use this as a mask, calling
Code:
this.mask = maskSprite in my main.
This works fine but when I resize the swf it stays at the top left of the window when my content moves (I am using stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE). I have used maskSprite as a non-mask and it moves with the content fine, but when it is a mask it doesn't.
It has been awhile since I have worked in flash.Right now I am working on something where I would like a panel to disappear when someone mouses off the stage.stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, leaveHandler); It usually works fine but if I move my mouse really fast it doesn't fire. I have also tried the same thing using a custom invisible button that surounds the perimeter of the stage and I have tried ROLL_OVER and MOUSE_OVERand again, if I do it too fast my event doesn't fire (I am using trace)I can't find anything on the net about this - is this typical of flash that if you move your mouse too fast you break it? Do I need to increase my frame rate (I would really rather not because I have perfectly timed animations - I am at 30 frames per second)
View 1 Replieswhen the mouse rolls over an image, text appears (in a small rectangle) and it moves with the mouse, only while it is still over the image.
Or at least, does anyone know what this is called or how to do it?
As of Flash 10.2, Flash supports hardware accelerated mouse cursors:[URL]..Unfortunately, the mouse cursor doesn't update until AFTER the mouse moves. You can see this behavior on the web page above. If you click "Set to custom cursor" in the sample app at the bottom of the article, you'll see that the cursor doesn't change until you move the mouse.
Anyone have a trick for updating the mouse cursor immediately, before the user moves the mouse? I tried doing Mouse.hide(); Mouse.show(); but that doesn't work.
I am creating mouse scroller and when I insert actionscript my images wont move depending on the mouse movements..I am using Flash cs5 and Actionscript 2.0...this is my actionscript:

I am trying to have two guestures on a SpriteVisualElement which I thought should be pretty simple implemented: Mouse_Move for sweep Gestures and mouse click to enable.. So I have 2 Eventlisteners on my stage:

The main problem is that every type of sweeping on the screen also fires the taphandler().. how to identify the correct event? I tried to to my taphandler only if(!event.buttondown) but no success.
I started another thread where i had gotten help and combined the snow tutorial and the programatic mask tutorial to create particles that reveal an in-focus image over a blurred one. I just need help making the particles swarm around the mouse when it is present and have the particles just float around when not. Presently the random motion is just fine and looks like this (i just inverted the this._x and this._y so that they would go with the mouse direction not away from):

I have a question, and I find it hard to find resources on it. I have two layers, and another layer with an image of a broom on it. I want to use the broom to move over layer2, and reveal the layer beneath it. Kind of making a sweeping game. Frankly my search efforts on google have only come up with alot of masking, but I am sure you need actionscript to make the broom move with the mouse.
View 1 RepliesI have a small mask that I need to animate across the stage in response to clicking various buttons. It has to go a different distance each time depending on which button is clicked along the x axis. I can get at the starting and ending x co-ordinates. I need to develop a set of x coordinates so that the mask starts moving fast and slows down as it gets nearer - kind of like the easing effect. I figured using some sort of simple 1/x^2 expression and have spent an hour or so fiddling in excel. Trouble is its a LONG TIME since I did maths, and I can't remember what formula to use. Have tried google with "parabola", "simple curves" etc.

How can you restrict the mouse so that users cannot move their mouse into a certain area, (or a certain y or x value)? This is useful to me because I need it for a game.

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to create a movieclip that contains 6 different images. In this movieclip, I would like, for example, a mask that follows the mouse to reveal the next picture. (ex: Image 1 has a circle mask revealing Image 2. When clicked, Image 2 will now be at the front with a circle mask revealing Image 3. And then Image 6 will not have any mask but on click will go back to the beginning)I understand that a lot of it will be up to how I order them in the timeline and frames.My problem is that in my class, we've learned how to do this for TWO images only, and the only way for the mask to move is to use the MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP events (which is where the mask is only movable if you move it yourself.)It would be a big help if someone can first answer these questions:
1)What is the function called/is for instead of a MOUSE_DOWN/UP it will just simply follow the mouse?
2)Would I have to create 6 frames with, let's say, Image1 and Image2 on Frame 1, then Image2 and Image3 on Frame 2 etc? And each frame will have its own actions layer frame?
i would like to add some mouse events to the mask (which is masking something else below) and because i cant add it to the mask, what would be the best solution?
i was thinking of creating one more movieClip same size and position as the mask, but i would need to put it below everything else because the content that mask is masking should also receive mouse events...
I continue in my adventure with customizing a horizontal slider's functions. This is the very last thing I need to figure out and it is done.I have posted an SWF at the following link so you can see it working: neterhetdotcom/test/slidermask/ (change "dot" to a period "." as i am not yet able to post links)If you click on the scrollbar. You will see that a mask follows the click and displays an "orange" color... this orange color is supposed to indicate the progress of the slider across the scroll bar. the mask is positioned just to the left of the slider on the click so it allows the "orange" color for "progress" of the slider to "show up".
If you click and hold on the slider the mask does not track this motion. I need to know how to make the mask track the mouse along with the slider. The mask would have to align it's right edge to the point of the mouse click for it to work as the mask is the same width and just slightly taller than the visual scrollbar. (a narrow rectangle as well)How the scrollbars is set up in Flash is I have 2 layers with the scrollbar art on each. the bottom one is the default greay "off" state.. the top one is the orange "progress" state that has a mask attached to it so when the mask slides the orange shows up or goes away. (Thus indicating the progress of the slider across and back)So either the mask has to follow the slider button (on the left edge of the slider button) or the mask has to follow along with the slider on the mousedown state...(as long as the mask had it's right edge aligned to the mouse click)

I am trying to create a simple interactive flash video, where the user moves the mouse over the image to reveal an image underneigth (almost like a rubbing-out effect).
View 1 RepliesHaving a problem with part of a project that I know is something small that I omitted someplace relating to mouseEnabled or mouseChildren, but I think I have tried everything and nothing seems to work.I set up a demo FLA that replicates the issue somewhat here (remove spaces)- t i n y u r l . com/4429vbx
Basically, I have a little game that involves finding things in an image with a custom mouse cursor that is a magnifying glass. One large image over a smaller version of the same image, the cursor masks the large image. There's a bunch of Math figuring out the movement/positioning of the large image on MOUSE_MOVE to match up with what you are mousing over in the smaller one, and I have a Rollover/Rollout on the smaller image to swap the cursor in/out. The problem started when I put 5 invisible buttons down inside the large image. You get cursor flicker when rolling over the invisible buttons, because smallImage.rollOut is being triggered, then smallImage.rollOver, then out, then over, etc... and I have no idea why.
I can't use startDrag() because of the large image movement needed on MouseMove, and I tried it with EnterFrame and it's worse.Like I said, the demo isn't exactly what I have in my project, but it's close. There's no parallax math, and the project I have is class-based, but the demo is on the timeline. There are 3 levels - A is the root child, B inside of A, and 3 buttons AA, BB, CC inside of B. I have a simple circle Sprite as the mouse cursor.
I want to recreate the same effect (this has been done) but with a little twist, and I do not know how to code the mask with Action Script.What I want to achieve is this:
1. Lock my mask on the Y axis;
2. When I mouse over it, the mask would move up and down;
3. The mouse cursor would disapear while being in the mask.
My flash file is almost complete. I just need the code to move the mask.

View 3 RepliesI have a display object that is set to mask another display object. I add a mouseEvent listener to the mask to listen to mouse events. It does not receive the mouseEvent unless I set its buttonMode property to true.
If the display object is not a mask, it receives mouseEvents with its buttonMode set to false.
Here is some fast example code. On the stage I have a circle that masks a square. if buttonMode of the mask is set to false, it won't receive mouseEvents.
Code:
circle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
square.mask = circle;
//if I set buttonMode = false, the mask (circle) won't respond to clicks.
circle.buttonMode = true;

This will probably be simple for some of you. How do I make the "animation" stop? The text moves, based on the mouse movement, and I put a mask over the text to only show a certain area at any given time...
