I want to ask how to show/ hide movieclip by one click in the same position of the mouse cursor .
The idea is that i have 10 square shapes and i want to click one of them to put a small circle inside the square and do the same with the other squares .
I want to hide my mouse and instead of the mouse I want to see a movie clip that I created. How do I attach it?

1 Hiding the original black arrow cursor (Firefox only)When cursor rollovers to an Invisible button (oneBtn), I want to show custom cursor (newCursor) and hide mouse. But Firefox shows the custom cursor as well as the black arrow...
2. Mouse.show doesn't work only on Safari, Mac.When rollout to the invisible button (oneBtn), the custom cursor (newCursor) hides but the mouse doesn't appear. This happens only on Safari.
stop();
Mouse.show();
newCursor._visible = false;

I have an Input Text area that users can edit and then submit. I need to be able to show, on screen, the cursor's current position as they type. I don't need to know where the mouse is but all work-arounds I've found so far can only tell me the mouse position. The font for the text is 'courier' or 'courier new' and the Input Text area is scrollable.
View 8 RepliesIve been working on a script for a video player in which after a 7.5 second timeout and no movement from the mouse, the cursor would be hidden using Mouse.hide(). Also when the mouse was moved, the cursor would be shown using Mouse.show(). If needed I can show the script that did not work
View 4 Repliesi need to show the second one when there is a mouse over the first one and hide it when it goes out of the first one also i want the second container content to be usable (mouse clicks/moves)
View 2 RepliesI want to hide the mouse after some period when there is no mouse movement (i.e. 5 seconds), and then for the mouse to reappear when the user moves their mouse again.
View 1 RepliesI want to show/hide a symbol (movie clip) when i mouse over/out another symbol (button) and also want to move the movie clip as motion of mouse by attaching to the mouse... for this.. i think i have to use startDrag action but i am confused how.
if i use action on button like:
on (rollOver) {
startDrag("abc");
}
on (rollOut) {
stop();
}
where "abc" is instance name of movie clip it will do the work but it doesnt give effect of appearing and dissapearing the movie clip when i mouse over the button.
i couldn't stay away from Flash for more than 3 hours lol.
I have weird problemo that involves mouse.hide and show. I have a button with this as on it,
Code:
on(rollOver) {
Mouse.hide();
}
on(rollOut) {
Mouse.show();
}
It works fine when it's previewd alone. But when i have my main,shell, movie load this movie that contains the button, it doesnt work at all. Am i supposed to use _parent somewhere?

View 14 RepliesI am using a magnifying glass animation for my portfolio and I want he mouse cursor to hide, which I can work out with: Mouse.hide()
But when someone clicks on a section it then loads a swf file above the original movie so I then want the mouse cursor to show but i'm not sure what the code would be for this? Also then once they press on the close button of this swf file with: on (release) unloadMovieNum(1); _level0.enableBtns();}
I want the mouse cursor to hide again becuase they are on the main movie again.
im building my site now and i want to have background of hexagons that get visible only when the mouse is at certain distance of them, so i found out that i have to use as3, ive read some tutorials and other post and i tried the following code that i found online:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, showDistance);
function showDistance(e:Event):void{
var distance:Number = (circle.x, mouseX, circle.y, mouseY);

Smarter than I Fellows:I've uploaded a source .fla for my project: [URL]I'm trying to get out of timeline based animation and start using AS.... I've been watching adobe tv and reading, reading. I can look at AS and understand it, but am far from knowing where to start when building something.Here for example I simply want my previous and next buttons to display hidden at the beginning of the movie and then show when the user mouses over the stage.
Of course they should also on click let us navigate from slide to slide and the slides will transition in and out on X axis with nice easing and a blur (i'm trying to mimic the action found at FontExplorerX [URL]. Right now, I'm just tying to get my buttons to not appear until mouseover (maybe they should appear on load and disappear after a delay and then reappear on mouseover - the mouseover trigger would be the whole stage for both buttons, not just the specific area).
i've searched for it but couldnt find what i need.i have a inputfield (instance:enterSbMessage_txt) so, when i type a few characters in it and user presses a button i want to know the exact position of the blinking cursor.

View 4 Repliesi have a text field within a movieclip and i would like the hand cursor to show when the mouse passes over it. but the hand won't show, i'm not sure if the text field is influencing the outcome.
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mc.useHandCursor = true;
addChild(mc);[code]...........
I am aware that the follow will show a hand cursor:
component.mouseChildren = true;
component.useHandCursor = true;
component.buttonMode = true;
When I do the above on a List component, the hand button is shown and the whole component loses it's interactivity (Hand cursor is shown even on scrollbars).
So how can I show the hand cursor only when rolling over the list items?

View 1 RepliesI want a button to show and hide a movieclip (see attached files for source) the Button is a Movieclip and has been coded using a tut I got from some where but I am stuck on how I can get it to do the show and hide part <edited part> forgot to Add that I also want to make a Text box say Grid On and off

an example of a show/hide a movieclip with a listener. That is, i was planning to have a boolean flag variable showSubMenu and if it's true the submenu will be visible and if false it's hidden???
View 2 RepliesI've been looking on google, but I have found nothing at all on this, which is surprising as it is very simple to make (I have done it in AS2).I was to have a button that can hide a movieclip. Then another button which will show it again.
View 8 RepliesI am new to flash parameters but from the research I could find so far it seems that this should be fairly simple. I have a flash file that has a movie clip in it. In this movie clip there are two movie clips. What I need to do is show a one movie clip and hide another. I basically only need to set up the reading of the flash parameter code in flash...
var imageToShow:String;
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
This is basically what I have... I'm not sure what to go on to next or if this is even correct.
Code:
if (parameter == "image1") {
image.image1.alpha = 1;
image.image2.alpha = 0;
}
I was looking to make 2 buttons; one that hides a movieclip that is playing on a slide, and one that shows it again. I've heard theres a few ways to do this but none of them are making much sense to me (i previously made some buttons that play, pause and stop a movieclip, and I think I am stuck in the wrong frame of mind to do these next 2 buttons...) How to tackle this task.
View 2 RepliesI just did a button and 3 movieclips. What i want? Well, when i click on the button to change the movieclips. click 1 = movieclip 1 when i click again on the button it change to movieclip 2 My problem is that i can`t make so it can change to movieclip 3.So when i click it must be something like this> click 1 = movieclip1, click 2 = movieclip2, click 3 = movieclip 3 so on...

I have a movieClip that a user can click on to hide/show a different movieClip (for this example, lets say its a circle). I have an 'onPress' on that movieClip that tells it go and play the next frame inside itself movieclip (there are two frames which just have different graphics to represent off/on) and also the line of code to hide the other movieClip.
The problem is that if a user clicks on the movieClip to hide the circle and then keeps their mouse in the exact same position and tries to click again to show the circle, nothing happens... they have to move the mouse at least a little bit before it will recognize it is being clicked again. The same thing happens with buttons I have that scroll the page... which is extremely annoying since you can't just click the same spot multiple times, you have to move your mouse a bit and then click again.
I am in learning phase but do not to show the x andy posion of mouse on the stage. I want to trace the x and y position of mouse in stage. How we can do this ?
View 3 RepliesOkay 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 trying to build an application where the themouse cursor is used to "blow" a movieclip around. The way I'm doing this is by making the mouse cursor repel the movieclip. The problem is, I can only get it to work on the top and the left of the movieclip.
Here's my code:
function moveCloud(event:Event):void {
var yChange:Number = Math.round(mouseY-cloud.y);
var xChange:Number = Math.round(mouseX-cloud.x);
[code]....
I'm fairly new to using ActionScript to move MovieClips around. I'd like to have a movieclip follow my mouse around the screen (like a mouse cursor). I put one instance of the MC on my stage, with an instance name of 'a', without quotes. (identifier is 'box', class is 'boxClass', without quotes.)
[Code]...
This doesn't work, which should be apparent since I'm posting this. (lol) How can I tell my movieClip to follow the user's mouse?
