ActionScript 2.0 :: Press / Release Events - Start / Stop Drag
Mar 13, 2009
There's no problem in my computer at work on this issue. When I press on something that is draggable, it's dragged. When I realease it (or realease it outside), it stops being dragged. But it does happen in my boss' computer! what a coincidence! It happens to be something related to very quick double clicks. Sometimes, the draggable movieclip gets stuck to the mouse movement even if it has been released. Is there something to take control on this? or is it any issue from an old version of the flash plugin?

Sorry to have to post a secondary thread...but i've had responses to the previous one and now a new problem exists. Why am I having to multiple click my button to make this function work? On each release of the button 'SUB' moves that little bit more but I need the function to work in one go after just one click!! Something is obviously working for it to move at all, I just dont understand why it's moving in stages!!

What's the code to start drag and stop drag. I would also like to know what's the code to detect if the object has been dropped on something. I know the code in AS2 but i cant figure it out in AS3.

I am creating a Flash website (AS3) which contains multiple columns of swf's. These all have individual "start drag and stop drag" vertically and works fine. My problem is when I try to create start drag stop drag on top of these swf's horizontally - I want to be able to move the whole stage horizontally containing separate columns.
I am not sure how to code it and it ends up locking the "start drag top drag" inside the columns. How can I do this so that each column is scrollable and scroll to other columns without using a scroll bar...

i'm trying to write the code for a flash animation which uses different movie clips and buttons.all the movie clips are in the same layer but i've written code to make all but one invisible when the animation loads.
dance._visible = false;
harmonica._visible = false;
violin._visible = false;
i've then got buttons which are supposed to make the movie clips visible, but then disapear again after the clip has played.i want to be able to press one button to have one clip start playing, but then i want to be able to press another button which stops that movie clip and starts a new one playing.this is what i came up with but it doesn't work
on (press) {
violin.stop();
harmonica.stop();[code]....
this script is from one of the buttons which is supposed to start the movieclip harmonica and stop violin playing.i've got the same code for violin but the other way round.when i press a button it works fine and plays the clip which then disapears (leaving a default clip which plays all the time visible) but pressing buttons to interrupt the clip and play another one don't work properly. the movie clips don't stop and reset when they are interupted. they kind of pause instead. when i go to play a clip that has previously been interrupted it starts from where it has been paused and not from the beginning

Drag and Drop: Could someone point me to a script that will handle startDrag and stopDrag better than the stock methods? I once saw something that was sooo smooth/responsive and I would love to have that look. I believe it used updateAfterEvent but did not use start or stop drag at all.

I have a movieclip named: F1. Inside F1 there are multiple movieclips (e.g. face_mc, lefteye_mc, righteye_mc, beard_mc, eyebrows, hair_mc etc). Now when I run the swf, the drag works fine when the mouse is on the face but if the mouse is on the eye/beard/mouth it only starts dragging that specific part only. For example, if the mouse is on the left eye and I start to drag only the left eye drags under the mouse.
Inside F1:
I tried grouping it but it didn't worked.
I also tried modify>combine objects>union....it removes everything but the face.

As soon as I start to drag the scrollbar, I get an error #1069 telling me that MOUSE_UP not found on flash.events.MouseEvent and there is no default value. I was watching a tutorial from Todd Perkins, and the scrollbar is built after his model. I really hope for an answer, it's killing me

I am trying to create a scrolling text section for a cd-rom I am creating.I have created buttons for the scroll up and scroll down and so far all I am able to get is a click click click to scroll up and down 1 line at a time.Would prefer to make a loop so when you hold down the button it "scrolls" until you release.Have had no luck in setting variables on press and release.

I just got Flash CS3. I'm trying to get my main timeline to stop in the begining, on button press to play and at the end stop again. In AS2, you would just put stop(); on the first keyframe and stop(); on the last key frame and program your buttons accordingly.
The stop(); does not work!!!! It's driving me crazy. What am I missing? I've gone through the tutorials in Flash and they don't work either.Also, if you have MovieClip that contains an animation and you don't want the movie clip to be on a continuous loop how do you stop it from playing. In AS2, I would put a stop(); on the last keyframe of the movieclip's animation. This also does not work in AS3.

Currently I am building an application that launches crtmpd (a rtmp server written in C++).
Whenever I launch the application from within Flash Builder it works great, if I install a release build from an air file the process.start() returns a generic "could not start process" error.
The crtmpserver.exe is stored in applicationDirectory and the config file is kept in applicationStorageDirectoy.
So I've moved it to the native storage directory. But the problem persists. I've found the following though:
startupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
startupInfo.executable = binFile;
processArgs = new Vector.<String>();
processArgs.push(luaFile.nativePath);
startupInfo.arguments = processArgs;
In the IDE after this startupInfo is setup correctly. On client machines all properties of startupInfo are still null.

I have an HD video that I shot of curtains or drapes opening and closing. I would like to make something in Flash where someone could click one side of the curtain and pull it open. When they release the mouse it should close back. In the video both sides open at the same time so I'm not sure if I can make the sides independent or not. If I can do this I may also want to make a version where the curtain stays where they released it.After I make a web version I am going to try to turn it into an app for a smart phone. The online use with a mouse is way more important at this time.

I have a button that is called to the stage using AS. When the user releases that button, a global variable is populated and the pageShell movie clip is removed and re-attached using the new variable info. When I run the movie, I get the following in the output panel: **Error** Mouse events are permitted only for button instances on (release:<name>){ I'm not sure why this is happening because the symbol being used (<idname>) is a button.

Fk says my last login was 3/23/2006! So I'm rather rusty! All I wanted for now is to drag an image and update the view on release. So, I have two frames:
[Code]....
When I play, it starts and stops dragging nicely. But it will not advance the frame. If I try something else like getUrl, that works fine too. gotoandPlay does nothing as well, though. What am I missing? This is Flash MX2004, as2.

I have an FLA that "erases" an image to reveal something below, at which point the cursor (an eraser bitmap) needs to be released in order for the user to use it to click a print button. You can click the print button with the erase function cursor, but I feel like it is not good user interface. The AS below should delete the eraser cursor and advance to another frame but it isn't.
Code:
stop();
Mouse.hide();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("maskMC_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
floorLogoPic_mc.setMask(maskMC_mc);

I am looking to have a button respond to both the Page Up button and the right arrow button.Basically we have a slideshow that we want the user to be able to either click on the button itself, hit the right arrow on the keyboard or use a handheld presentation clicker.I know you can't have two on (keyPress) events, but I wasn't sure what the work around for it was. I don't want to get into having multiple buttons with the same code if that is possible.
