ActionScript 2.0 :: Mouse Cords Detection Without OnClipEvent?
Jun 21, 2006
I have an application where I need to detect if the mouse is less than 200 px from the left sie of the screen, then play an animation... Once the mouse is moved back out of the 200 px area I want the animation to reverse.I'm using the Tween Class for animation and have been messing around with onclipevents with no luck like:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(_xmouse <= 200)
{
_root.theSwitch = "on";
[code]....
This will obviously produce a million "on" traces when the mouse is over there - what is the best method for detecting the change once, setting a variable, then playing the animation?

I have a piece of code worked out that creates circles on a mouseDown function. I'm trying to save the x and y cords of the circles but cannot figure out a way around this. I need to save multiple instances of the cords from mouseDown.
Is it possible to do this in an array?
var posOne:Number;
//var posTwo:Number;
//var posThree:Number;

how to work out the direction of the mouse on stage and say from this:
"if the mouse goes from the left to right (visa-versa) once, add score +1" and "if the mouse speed which is player controlled - slows down - to then display an error graphic"

I have the following script on a movie clip which fades the clip in when your mouse is over the MC and fades it out when your mouse moves off. It works fine, but it "flickers" when its faded in all the way. How can I stop that?

I'm using the code contains onClipEvent(load) and onClipEvent(enterFrame) and duplicateMovieClip() to make the snowing effect in the 2 first movie-clips but then, i cannot stop them in the next movie-clips. (All of my movie-clips in 1 scene only.)

1- i have a circular menu, with a zoom effect when you hover on it, with the home button in the center, when you click the home button you load the page then reload the scene 1 ( menu idle ).If i put nothing on the button itself on the scene 1, before the zoom effect, i need to move out of the button to trigger the other scritp there that detect the rollover and start the zoom in.i want to have a special behavior for the home button on the idle state of the menu ( scene 1 ) , When you click the home button from anywhere else, you load back the page, then because the mouse is already on the home button, i want flash to do nothing, but at the second you start to move the mouse again ( remember you are still on the home button) i want it to start teh zoom effect again, not before.
Right now, it is either no zoom effect as soon the mouse is on top of it, or imediatly zoom in with the rollover....And i know it is possible with a very simple command, but i forgot it... i did it before.2- for the same menu, i will have a sub-menu unfolding when you click a certain button, that sub-menu is outside the main menu detection zone. Is it possible to make a shape, turn the alpha at 0, put it under the sub-menu, and use it as detection zone

I have movieclip working as button. On mouserollover it scales up a square MC. The problem is that this square will cover other buttons when completely scaled up, and the buttons below that won't "work"When going with mouse from button 1 to 3 it works ok, but from 3 to 1 one then the "top-stacked" button will prevent lower buttons from working properly.As you can see I tried
sq.mouseEnabled = false;
sq.mouseChildren = false;

when you have two movieclips and the bounding box of one movieclip is over top of the movieclip below, how do you detect that the mouse is over the bottom movieclip, and ignore the alpha of the upper movieclip.I tried mouseEnabled = true, I tried mouseChildren = true...I can't seem to make the movieclip that is underneath of the bounding box of the upper clip respond to the mouse.
here's a method I put together to tell me what is underneath of the mouse.When I run this, the movieclip on top has its bounding box overlaying another movieclip...the bounding box meaning, and the transparent area of the top movieclips bounding box.This method returns both images when I'm over the bounding box of the top movieclip, yet I'm only over the lower movieclips actual image shape.
I just want to be able to drag that lower movieclip, and write a function that only returns that lower movieclip under it if I'm only on top of the lower movieclip.
var previousOUM:String = "";
function listObjectsUnderMouse(event:Event):void
{
var pointoint = new Point(mouseX, mouseY);

I have a boat which will follow my mouse, which I have got working via the tutorial situated at: [URL]
That's easy enough.
My problem is not making the boat stop if it collides with another movie. You can view what I currently have here:
[URL]
If you look at this movie you will see the boat following your mouse, and I've inserted a basic island on to the stage. What I want to happen is that if the boat touches the island, it stops. so for example if you were moving your mouse right to left across the island, the boat would stop on the right hand side of the island, but if you moved your mouse back to the right, it would move away from the island and follow your mouse.
I'm not too bothered about it detecting certain areas of the boat, the center point is fine.

I have an image gallery thats a group of links that plays on a timeline. It scrolls and repeats, giving a smooth continuity. I've set up and ENTER_FRAME event to a listener of the stage, a Boolean variable based on mouseY conditionals for true and false, and passed a true value to mouseX conditionals that controls the timeline with prevFrame() and nextFrame() methods.
All is fine in the original swf, but once I load it into my flash page those mouseX and mouseY values no longer represent the stage upon which the swf was originally created, that stage doesn't exist. Instead its new parents stage has spanned those parameters far across the page, even making it possible to control playback outside of the page itself. How can I either separate the swf's stage from its parent or re-establish the parameters I had originally set for it?
This is the code for both, First is the Flash Page, the SWF in question is highlighted,
Code:
var swfRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("NewsandLinks.swf");
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
swfLoader.load(swfRequest);

I have a bitmap with many colors inside it. I want each color, when clicked, to preform a different method. How do I determine the pixel's color value and use it for a mouse event? I found bitmap hit detection but I cannot figure out how to use it (because I have many colors inside the bitmap).

nav item consists of a ball that "follows" the cursor in relation to where it is on the page. JS is used to gather the X/Y info from off the Flash stage and create vars to be used by the Flash movie to move the "orb" in relation to the cursor position. For some reason, FF and Chrome on PC fall short here.I've tried everything from setting the Flash movie to "opaque" and positioning a transparent DIV over it, all to no avail.Any thoughts on this? Has anyone encountered something like this?

What I want to do is have a left arrow MC on the left side of the stage and right arrow MC on the right side of stage. When the mouse is over the left 1/3 of the stage, the left arrow appears, on the right 1/3 of the stage, the right arrow appears, but the middle 1/3 the arrows fade out.
I do NOT want to make large invisible MCs and detect the mouse movement that way. I just want it to be relative to the mouse position on the stage. I thought it would be very easy, but the eventListener fires everytime the mouse moves, so the left and right arrow MC animation is constantly being triggered, and they look like they are "shaking" for a lack of a better word.

look at the footer below, you'll see a circle around your head. That's your head. If you hold mouse button the MC plays. NOW...if the field vision (green thing) touches your head WHILE holding mouse button...it sends you to frame 2 or choose your own.

I have a series of mc's that are in a grid position and another set on top. I want to move the ones on top to different positions over the others but I want to check to see if one is already there. I dont' want to use hitTest, it doesn't work for what I want to do. I want to position my top mc's base on the x and y positions of the bottom mc's. How do I check a mc for a value if all my names start the same, i.e. mc_ and end in numbers that represent their position, i.e. mc_12070. I was thinking something like:
newY = this._y - 50;
newX = this._x;
but how would I call the clip?
_root.mc_+newY+newX
what is the syntax to make that work?

I have created a flash whack-a-mole game, and coded the 9 different x and y cordinates the 4 moles can come up on. But I can't code it so that the moles can never have the same x and y cordinates.I have tried this code: (Barney and mulvarp is two moles. .flytt(); is the command that gives the mole a new place to be.[code]I got an advice on maybe using this and call returnFourPositionsF(); but I am unsure on how to put all the moles into one, since they all have different timers, and I don't want them to change position even tho only one is changing.

I'm working in Actionscript 3, but this is pretty general.I'd like to make a simple function that I can call, e.g. GiveCords(Width, Height, Num) that will take a width and height, map that out and using the Num variable place the given amount evenly across the space.Say I give it a value of 500, 500, 1. I'd expect it to return an X, Y position of 250, 250.But I'd like it to return an array of given points with X, Y.So If I gave it 10 points, it would find the best position for them all to be of even distance apart from each other.

[MX] I'm loading an infinitly scrolling swf into my main swf. When it loads however it doesn't work properly, because all the pixel values in the origonal code do not match for its location in the main movie. I know I can change the AS with new value and make it work, but I am wondering if there is another way. I'd like to be able to move it around and always have it work without changing it. Is there a way I can have the loaded swf retain its OWN origonal x,y cords? or some other method of doing this?
