Next to the menu I have a movieclip (instance name "square") which I want to appear on the stage from the left, but not before menu (see above) has reached it's final position. How do I integrate this in the above function or should I make a separate function for this
lets say i have a sprite on the stage and one movieclip inside it. now i want to tween or just set that movieclip x and/or y position according to stage position. so for example i want to set mc.y = - 100; (by which i mean -100 to stage, not sprite which mc is in.)
I am trying to change the position of a movie clip which is acting as a menu and loading other swfs onto the stage. The problem is, is that the movie clip is also animated and when an swf is loaded the movie clip appears underneath the loaded swf. What method I should use to change the hierarchy of this movieclip.
I have a MovieClip and i want to adjust the position on movieClip According to stage size. Means I resize the stage than it will adjust position according stage size. Either I run this swf in browser it should be same.
I'm developing my first flash app. I'm trying to use classes because they'll be very important in my future app. I created a simple movieclip with a star. However, instead of putting it directly on the stage, I'm calling it from library, using the addChild method to place the star in the stage. To do that, I simple right click over the movieclip icon->properties->check export to action script->and I give a name to the class (for example: myMC)
Then, inside the class I wrote: package { import flash.display.*; import flash.events.*; public class myMC extends MovieClip { var star:myMC=new myMC(); public function myMC() { [Code] .....
As I am placing the two variables origin_x and origin_y inside the constructor, I'm expecting to get 250 and 200 respectively. After drop the star, I want to send it to it's original place, and that's why I need to keep this values. And here's the problem, origin_x and origin_y are both ZERO, instead of 250 and 200... The value is not relative to stage. I managed a little bit and I found this post : [URL]. Unfortunately I tried to replace by the suggested code, but both values remain zero. An interesting thing, is that if I put the star directly in the stage instead of calling it from the library as I am doing, I get correct values in origin_x and origin_y.
I have a Flash file for an xml driven menu. There is the document Class, called Main. There is also a Navigation class. In the Navigation class, I position the location of main buttons and sub menu buttons for the menu. I want to position the buttons in the Navigation class relative to the stage. Currently, they are just fixed at certain positions (like 20); To do this, I have read that because this is not happening in the document class.
I must add an event listener to the constructor that listens for the added to stage event. I am not sure how to do this, as when I try and add an event listener for added to stage in the Navigation class nothing happens, (or all menu items diaspear). How to position movie clips relative to the stage (i.e. stage.stageWidth - 50) from a class that is not document class? How to do so in the document class, too.
I have some movieclips like this one: game_mc.substage_mc.rightHand and inside the rightHand i have a thread_mc like this:
game_mc.substage_mc.rightHand.thread_mc
Ok so here is the thing, i need to access the thread.x and thread.y position related to the stage or substage_mc i don´t really care, but if i do this[code]...
it's possible to script an external preloader's empty movie clip to be of a specific size and position on the main stage? here's the script i've got for the preloader so far:
var my_pb:mx.controls.ProgressBar; my_pb.mode = "manual"; this.createEmptyMovieClip("Portfolio", 999); var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
I'm looking to create an infinate menu BUT navigating my menu from left to right using drag rather than the position of the mouse. If there's any links or tutorials around Pleeeeese let me know.
I have a sprite that I zoom out using the sprite.z property. Once the z property has been modified the sprite x and Y values do not match the stage x and y real value. So far so good and what I was expecting!
What I want to accomplish is that when the user clicks the stage the sprite tweens to where the mouse was clicked but I don't know what x and y position to send to the sprite. ( since stage 200,200 is something like 400,400 for the sprite depending on z value)
I tried Utils3D.projectVector using Matrix3D of the perspectiveProjection of the stage without success. (i.e. I get Vector3D(Infinity, Infinity, NaN))
I could fallback to scalex/scaley but sprites.z gives me the correct scale, perspective projection, paralax scrolling since I have sprites on different z level all for free. I would have to recode all that.
I added a Menu_mc on my stage. Initially, this should be at the center of the stage and when I click on it, it will tween on the upper left corner of the browser. However, when I resize the browser, the Menu_mc goes back to the center of the screen.
I have tried separating a different actionscript file where it is specifically for initialization of the object and another one for resizing. And then when I call it on my main AS file it goes like this:
Code: // Add the symbols to stage var Menu_mc = new Menu_MC(); addChild(Menu_mc);
I'm hoping someone can solve this headache. Basically, I want a movieclip to move to the position of each of my buttons from any position along my x axis. Therefore, the movieclip needs to 'flip' to face the way it is traveling.At the moment I have the movieclip moving to the mouse x axis when I ROLLOVER the button and stop following the mouse when I ROLLOUT but the code won't flip the movieclip so I must have something wrong...
I have a stage bigger than the size of a browser, and I have a camera to navigate around the area.Now when I click on a button, I will have something pop up blocking the whole browser, like a lightbox effect with another box on top of the blocker.The problem now is, when the blocker pops up, its position is not on the TOP LEFT corner of the browser. I've tried stage.align, but it would makes the camera or other object on stage position run.So is there any other way I could get the blocker to position according to the browser, not the stage?[code]
What i'd like to do is have a menu/site map that adjusts when you click on a certain icon. For example, I have a AS3.0 flash file with, say, 5 keyframes with 5 buttons that are in different positions on each key frame. The buttons are set to gotoAndPlay the various keyframes. I can set up a tween that links frame 1 to 2, 2 to 3 etc. but what I would like is a tween from, say, 1 to 3, then 3 to 5, then 5 to 1 - basically in a random order rather than sequentially through the key frames. I could set each of these tweens up individually but the site is for a portfolio that I would like to keep adding to and to do this individually would mean an ever increasing amount of tweens.Basically, is there a way to get a 'MovieClip' to move from Position A in keyframe 1 to Position B in another keyframe without a set of tween frames? I'm sure this is simpler than I am making it sound but I don't seem to be able to work it out.
I have designed a menu that When you mouse over it, a custom cursor appears. When you mouse down it disappears and when you mouse up it returns. If you happen to mouse down and then drag the mouse off of the menu (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up outside the menu, the custom cursor disappears. All good. The only issue is: If you happen to mouse down on the menu and then drag the mouse off of the menu AND off of the stage, i.e the SWF (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up completely off of the stage, the custom cursor appears at the point it left the menu. I have tried to fix this using MOUSE_LEAVE but this dosnt work when the mouse button is pressed down. I have attached an FLA, SWF and the AS below.
I am looking at creating a menu with three movieclip buttons on a main menu. I want to keep these buttons on the top of the screen at all times. I am opening different swf's and I want to make sure that the buttons are still showing. I know there is something with changing or swapping the depth of the movie clip when it loads the new swf's in, but I have not found anything that is seeming to work.
My code is below. What am I doing wrong? I am trying to have my menu enter the stage and exit the stage when the mouse goes below/above a certain point (425px)
I have a 1200 px wide scrolling menu movie clip which is placed on a stage that is 650 px wide (mc menu is approx 2X wider than the movie). It is aligned left to the stage and whenever a user moves the cursor over it - it scrolls itself around _x axis (inverted x axis). Here is the code that works:
ActionScript Code: onClipEvent (enterFrame) { if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) { //take mouse position and invert it
[Code].....
But sometimes during aggressive mouse movement over the menu mc, the mouse position variable goes beyond it's limits (I don't know why, latency error?) by 20-30 px. This makes the menu go way beyond its limits/bounding box and almost completely exits the screen.
I've tried adding mc that registers the movie area, limiting _x axis in the IF statement, but whatever script I make it either: glitches, doesn't move or just goes all over the place.
How can I make the menu mc move only in specified movie area?
I was following this tutorial on how to add a scrolling image gallery to a Flash website. ([URL]) From what I understand from this tutorial, it is just a matter of copying the Actionscript code and pasting it onto the timelines then making modifications on the XML. (kindly see a screenshot of timeline layers I made and as to where I put the Actionscript code: [URL]) I pasted the code onto the blank keyframe labeled "Gallery". But all I get is this weird effect when I click on the button for the gallery... (kindly see a screenshot of it here: [URL])
I am trying to modify a fla i got from flash den. [URL]
It works by clicking on menu items, and or using your mouse wheel.
I am trying to make it so that it responds to mouse movement. So if you mouse up, the menu moves up, and if you mouse down, it moves down.
The file populates the menu using xml, and below is the primary code that makes it work.
Every mouseposition functionality that I've worked on required that the content be in an MC, but this is all xml generated content, and I don't know how to target or control it.
i need to find a way to pause and start again from that same position the 'infinite menu' found here on kirupa URL...A friend of mine attempted to help me, and gave me some code to fiddle with. I did fiddle with it, but problem was, the code was for Flash MX 2004. So it didnt work on my MX. Here is the existing code i have, but doesn't function (i.e. works fine when control>Test Movie, but doesnt work when actual .swf from folder is opened)[code]
The selector mark is suposed to "mark" the selection on the menu after a selection is pressed. But Im having problems with the X and y coordinates and scales of the MC and when I click on the option, the MC gets smaller and then bigger to the size I want. Its suposed change scale and position but its not working like it is suposed to work. Im not sure either if I�m setting the Mc on the initial x and y coordinates.
using the following jumpTo script as a guide how do I write an if statement for a function that will basically ask "if the movieclip is at position 3 stay there, otherwise jumpTo position 2"?
Code: var bg1x = new Array(0, -1280, -1014, 0); function jumpTobg1X(number) { gradientNav_mc.newX = bg1x[number]; }
I have tried a bunch of if/else statements but I can't get it working. I can't figure out how to write it properly. I tried something like this:
I've created a sliding menu that has a left button and a right button. Each button slides a background movieclip to the left or right. The background mc eases into position when one of the buttons is clicked. Problem is that buttons can still be clicked while the mc is easing into position. This throws off my x coordinate positioning of the mc. I've tried disabling the buttons and enabling them again at a few different points in my code. I've also tried using a time delay to enable the buttons but my logic isn't working.
Okay I have a script in which I have added an image to the stage. It is absolute centered. I then have another with is on top but much bigger. I would like the big image to move opposite of my mouse position on the smaller image. ie: cursor is on bottom left corner the bottom left corner of the larger image is in the same spot. And the same thing for any other area.
I have tried many different ways but to no avail. I have done research but no one has been able to give me a solid answer. Anyone know of a way to accomplish this. Keep in mind this it needs to work regardless of the image size.
i'm building a menu that has an arrow that eases to the spot of the sub menu when u mouse over it. i did it very easily.but what i want to do now is when the user roll out of a sub menu the arrow eases to it's original position.so far all my tries faild...the arrows starts "freaking out"...
