ActionScript 2.0 :: Stop Cursor At Certain Points Of Stage?
May 28, 2009
I have a magnify glass cursor for my portfolio website and it's working fine, except I need it to stop before it reaches the edges of the stage as when it is in a browser it "cuts off" the magnify glass and it looks weird, see on my site and move the cursor to the very right or left: [URL]. The code I have to control my glass is here and I just need to be able to add some x,y etc coordinates somewhere to stop it at certain points on the stage?
var moveGlass:Number;
magnifyingGlass.onPress = function() {
moveGlass = setInterval(startGlass,1); };
function startGlass() {
magnifyingGlass._x = _root._xmouse;
magnifyingGlass._y = _root._ymouse;
} magnifyingGlass.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.largeobject._x = (this._parent.original._x-this._x)*2;
this.largeobject._y = (this._parent.original._y-this._y)*2;
}

I have a movieclip I'm dragging and dropping. When I drag the clip outside of the stage, it gets stuck in drag mode and when I bring the cursor back onto the stage it suddenly snaps back onto the cursors position and it continues to drag (basically screwing up my drag and drop sequence). What I'd like is for the clip to stop dragging and snap back to its original X and Y position whenever you drag it outside the SWFs stage. I tried to achieve this by adding a listener to the stage to listen for a MOUSE_UP event when the drag begins. But its not working and I keep getting errors.
Here is my code, it's all contained in a document class:
ActionScript Code:
//Add Event Listeners to MovieClip that is dragged
alarmLrg_mc.buttonMode = true;
[Code]....
Which I don't understand because dropClip isn't a property its a function. If anyone can explain how I need to modify my code to make the clip stop dragging or if I can constrain the drag so you can't drag it outside the stage in the first place that could perhaps work as well.

What Im looking for is a tutorial that basically, if you scroll over one thing, the cursor changes to one shape, then if you roll over something else, it changes to something else.I'd want it to be as simple as possible, only using one layer otherwise I get a bit confused!!

I made a virtual keyboard w/c i will use on touchscreen, everything is ok except for when I wanted to insert a letter in a text field it always places itself at the end, the problem is that if I needed to insert a character I have to delete all of the text in front of it before I could put that letter.

I'm working on a project where I have to load multiple movie clips and center them on the stage.
PHP Code:
loaded_clip._x = Stage._width/2;loaded_clip._y = Stage._height/2;
Unfortunately, in this case that doesn't cut it. The move clips I'm loading all have different registration points, and they end up looking anything but centered. Is there a way to center them based on some other factor other than the registration point, so that they look centered?

I am trying to get an object to follow the mouse cursor only when the cursor is within a certain range of the object.
I would also like the object to stop when the cursor is directly over it, so that it becomes a selectable button.
Lastly, I would like to apply this to many objects, that don't overlap, but rather, "bounce off" of one another. An example of this is at
[URL]
The code I have so far is:
ball_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
var xMouse = _root._xmouse;
var yMouse = _root._ymouse;
[Code]....
"ball_mc" of course, is the instance name of the object that I have created.

I've experienced an odd behavioral of flash and correct positing of objects, properly a bi product of floating point values.
case: Imagine 10 MC which expand and contrast with a damping effect, each MC's would then position itself to the previously MC in Y axis.
problem: when all objects expand and contrast and then reposition themselves to the previously MC, then occasionally there's a shift in the Y position which gives a white space of 0.x pixels.
I seem that either flash have an update issue or more likely there's a conflict in the way flash convert floating points to position the object on stage.

I am trying to do the following spring in Flash MX: [URL]. The red points should be elastic, and the black ones - static (actually I will be attaching buttons with other specific functionality there). The spring should be situated on the screen the way it is right now - horizontally centered in the lower part of the stage.

how to stop a ball from bouncing up and down when I grab the ball with my cursor?Currently, I have two sections of code, one for a drop and drag, and one to reenact the effects of gravity on my ball.I don't want the ball to start bouncing right away,I want it to either start bouncing when I drag it and let go, or start bouncing when I click a button.I would also like it to STOP bouncing altogether if I grab the ball. (because even though I can drag it around, the bouncing animation is still running!)Here's my current code: (With one "ball_mc" on the stage)
// creating some gravity
var spring:Number=.1;
var frizione:Number=.98;[code]........

add multiple instances of an object to the stage at different but not random points.
For example - I have a box that is linked to a class file. In the class file I have an "ADDED_TO_STAGE" event listener. The function that is called places the box at a certain position on the stage say.... x=100, y= 200.
In the document class I create an instance of it like so -
_box:box = new box();
addChild(_box);
Now what I want is to create multiple instances of box on the stage every 5 seconds. But I don't want them all to spawn at (100,200) on the stage. But here's the catch, I don't want them to be random spawns either.
for ex- I want the first instance of box to spawn on (100,200), then 5 seconds later, the second instance to spawn at (200, 800), the third at (100, 500) and so on.
Would it be possible for me to create objects on the stage to serve as reference points for where i want the instances to spawn instead of writing the exact co-ordinates?

I have some info boxes that show up upon MOUSE_OVER of an MC. I set their position to mouseX and mouseY once I want them to appear. The problem is that when I mouse over something near the edge of my stage, the info box appears beyond the stage's bounds. Is there a way I can contrain the infobox X,Y so that it does not go off the state?
Right now, this is how I define the X,Y of the text box (pretty simple).
trlinfotxt.x = mouseX;trlinfotxt.y = mouseY;

It would seem that if you choose to create a custom cursor that you cannot interact with anything else on the stage with a mouse. I have written the code:
[Code]...
When I roll over and click, nothing happens. Every now and again it works, but very rarely. It's not because it's a ENTER_FRAME event either, because I changed it to a non ENTER_FRAME function and changes from hitTestObject to a ROLL_OVER and it still didn't work. But I have seen hundreds of Flash games over the years that have custom cursors AND interactivity.

I have been tasked with trying to create a drawing tool that draws dotted lines as you drag the mouse across the stage. I can easily capture the points on MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE and store them in a vector and then draw the points as dots:
The problem is that I need to calculate evenly distributed points on an ever growing Vector of points so I can only draw the line between say every 5th point (say using modulus). I have been battling away with Bezier curve equations both Quadratic and Cubic but still can't quite figure out how to convert my Vector of points into an evenly distributed Vector of Points without sucking the life from the CPU.

I have a Flash interaction where I exchange the cursor for a hand holding a flashlite mc. The entire stage is black. The cursor drags a mask around that illuminates a small image in another mc on the stage that the user has to find (illuminate).2 problems
1. When the mouse is rolled outside the stage, the custom cursor is still visible.
2. When imported into Captivate 3, and I move outside the stage and over buttons for navigation, the cursor is no longer visible, for the rest of the Captivate movie.
Desired functionality:Custom cursor to be visible only when on the stage area and the normal cursor to be visible outside the stage area. The stage area is 400x330.[code]

I sometimes replace the mouse cursor with a custom one by doing:

I need to make the blinking cursor at the txt_firstnameEdit when I enter the stage. but the blinking cursor appeared infront of string_0. string_0 is pre-entered in the textbox in my code.
For example this is what I see in the textbox...

I = The blinking cursor.
How do I make the blinking cursor go behind like this?

stage.focus = txt; // txt is a text input field
It successfully gives the TextField "txt" focus because when I type, the characters appear in the input textfield, however the familiar blinking text cursor/beam does not appear in the textfield. This makes you think it does not have focus, so you click the textfield to give it focus -- completely defeating the purpose.

I'm trying to make a simple as3 menu using the drawing api, but i'm having a few problems. First of all I want the red box on roll over to start out from where the gray box is, but right now its starting out from the left of the stage. Second when I bring the mouse cursor off the stage the red box would just appear.

I'm programming a Flash-based site designed by the client. The trouble is the SWF dimensions are small within the HTML page, and the thumbs show the larger images on roll over. The large images are meant to disappear on mouseout, but it's easy to move the cursor too quickly for the mouseout to be recognized -- so the image gets stuck on screen.Is there a reliable way to recognize a mouseout event, even when the cursor leaves the button/stage?
