ActionScript 2.0 :: Object Follow Mouse At Constant Speed?

Sep 13, 2009

I am using Flash 8 and AS2. I have been looking and looking, but I cannot find how to have an object follow the mouse at a Constant speed. The code I keep on finding is something like this:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;
speed = 5;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
endX = _root._xmouse;
endY = _root._ymouse;
_x += (endX-_x)/speed;
_y += (endY-_y)/speed;
}
The "/speed" part makes the object move slower the closer it gets.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Moving Toward Mouse At Constant Speed?

Sep 17, 2006

i know you can make something move toward the mouse with

Code:
this._x+=(_root._xmouse-this._x)/speed

but when you get closer to the mouse it slows down, is there anyway to make it do this, but not slow down when it gets closer?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Constant Speed Movement Of Object?

Apr 20, 2009

I am trying to get an object to track my mouse on press and i am using a tween. However, the nature of the tween is such that the time taken for the object would move would always be constant despite the distance.
 
I would like to make the object travel at a constant speed regardless of the distance. Is it correct for me to use a tween? If not what should I be using?The code for my tween is as follows.
 
map_mc.tracker_mc._x = map_mc._xmouse;map_mc.tracker_mc._y = map_mc._ymouse;startx = map_mc.crosshair_mc._x;endx = map_mc.tracker_mc._x;starty = map_mc.crosshair_mc._y;endy = map_mc.tracker_mc._y;
trackTweenx = new Tween(map_mc.crosshair_mc, "_x", Regular.easeIn, startx, endx, spd, true);trackTweeny = new Tween(map_mc.crosshair_mc, "_y", Regular.easeIn, starty, endy, spd, true);
 
map_mc.tracker_mc is the mouse cursor that would appear when onPress while the map_mc.crosshair_mc is the object that would track my cursor's movements.

Get An Object To Follow The Mouse?

Dec 26, 2009

I am using CS3 and trying to get an object to follow the mouse and having a hard time finding a tutorial on this, because all of the ones i have found want me to add the actionscript to the MC, and my version of flash won't let me do that. Flash expects me to attach it to the frame and so the code doesn't work.

IDE :: Get An Object To Follow The Mouse?

Feb 24, 2010

...without using the startDrag method. I know I can use code like this inside of a mouse event listener/function:

Code:
objectMC.x=mouseX;
objectMC.y=mouseY;

This code makes the object move with the mouse, but only if I move the mouse very slowly. When I move the mouse quickly, the mouse leaves the area of the object and thus the MOUSE_OVER listener stops listening, causing the object to stop.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Get A Mask To Follow An Object Or The Mouse?

Nov 14, 2010

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)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Button Talk To Follow Mouse Object?

Nov 6, 2010

I'm making a flash page with a basket movie clip that follows my mouse. The basket has a stop action on frame one so it stays there unless directed otherwise. Then I have a movie clip of a green berry that I made into a button (titled gb1). I need to make it so that when that is clicked it makes the basket go to the next frame (numbers change to show how many berries were collected). Here is my (unsuccessful) code as of now.

//1.
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,followBas ket);
//2.
function followBasket(event:Event):void {
var dx:int = basket.x - mouseX;

ActionScript 2.0 :: MC Movement At Constant Speed Without Tween?

I am trying to write a script to move a ball MC smoothly across the stage, without using tweens. I have thus far been successful, but there is one problem: the way I have it set up, speed increases with distance! I need the speed to remain constant. I understand why, but I can't figure out what approach to take to make the speed constant.

ActionScript Code:
var speed = 100;

Professional :: Make Tweens Move At A Constant Speed?

Feb 14, 2012

I have Adobe Flash CS 5 and have been having difficulties trying to get a created tween to move at a constant speed. I have been converting a graphic I've created to a symbol and turning it into a motion tween, however I have only figured out how to move the tween on a frame by frame basis. Is there a way I can map out the full trajectory of the tween and then set it to travel along that pathway at a constant speed rather than moving from point to point within a certain number of frames? The desired result is a green circle that will bounce off the edges of the computer screen/window as it moves along at a constant speed in the appropriate direction. I am a flash novice and have been fiddling with the program for a few days

Actionscript 3 :: Infinite Horizontal Scroll At Constant Speed Using TweenLite?

Jan 24, 2012

I need to do an endless horizontal scroll of elements within a parent MovieClip.No matter what ever method I try, an element of 'drift' occurs and eventually the elements start to overlap.I've tried using relative recursive tweening for each element according but this method seems prone to quite a bit of error after repeated starts and stops.

//CODE START
function doScroll():void {
TweenLite.to(this, .25, {x:"20", ease:Linear.easeNone,onUpdate:checkPos,onComplete:doScroll});
}
//CODE END

I've reverted to doing absolute tweens to a predefined position using a contant speed. This seems to be more accurate but still some 'drift' occurs.

//CODE START
//_dest is predefined
var speed:Number = 500;
var dist:Number = this.x - _dest;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Scroll Side To Side By Having An Object Follow The Mouse?

Sep 22, 2011

How would I be able to create a scene where you scroll left to right using the mouse, but instead of having it at a constant rate and having the picture (background) move when your mouse is at a certain x coordinate to have it be that when you move the mouse away from an object the background will move, and will move faster the farther away the mouse is? I have tried scrolling back and forth with x coordinates, but I haven't been able to get this to work.

(I found an example of what I'm trying to describe here; [URL], just click play, skip, leave, and then leave again and you'll be able to see it).
