how to stop an _xmouse, _ymouse action? I built a carousel with some movieclips controlled by a _xmouse action but I would like to stop their movement when the mouse is over them, and also activated it again when the mouse rolls out.
View 1 RepliesI've read how many people, frustrated by the plugin's inability to detect mouse motion while in fullscreen mode, have resorted to making use of onEnterFrame to detect changes in mouse position.
I need to do so as well ... all while the mouse is UP (not pressed) and floating around the screen.
i was trying to print out the readings for custom _xmouse coordinates as the mouse moves. I succeeded in manipulating xmouse coordinate readings with two points, but now i am trying to manipulate it through 4 points! I tried using a parabola calculation as the numbers get bigger and bigger as they get further from 0, x. I'm beginning to think that i'll have to add a different calculation after the mouse passes each point now, like an IF statement if _xmouse goes to 30, then start multiplying a different number, until it reaches 60 etc. Check out the image below, i'll post the swf if you want, i've tried lots of different transformations etc, nothing goes through my 4 custom points: 0, 30, 60, 90. I can make it go through two points, 0, and another number, but never more than 2.
View 1 RepliesMy website has a ring of images arranged in a loop in 3d space and the ring's rotation is controlled by the _ymouse value. The problem is that anywhere you go on the page, the loop keeps spinning and is ridiculously distracting.I'd like the spinning to stop dead in its tracks when the _xmouse value is greater than 100, but I can't get it to do so. I can stop it, but it doesn't stop at the moment where the _xmouse value exceeds 100; it goes tricks itself into thinking _ymouse position is 0, going back to the same place every time _xmouse >100. If you want to see where I am so far, the site is [url]....
I'm still new to all this so if you have any suggestions please be thorough or alter the code for me so I can learn through a little bit of reverse engineering.Maybe I need a listener of some sort? I don't know. Here's the section of code dealing with the _xmouse & _ymouse controls:
panCamera = function(){
spin += this._ymouse/4000;
if (_xmouse >= 100){[code]....
I created a map which can be moved up, down, left, and right. On the map are invisible buttons. When the mouse moves over an invisible button, a movie clip appears like a pop up info sign, doesn't matter where I moved the map earlier. All this I accomplished by using this actionscript:

I am trying to make a sliding menu whose speed is responsive to _xmouse (slow at the center and fast at the sides...) does it need to exist in two pieces? the problem is that it seems impossible to define 0(zero) as anything but just that...
View 3 RepliesI want it to while still easing into place like the iphone does. For example my stage is 550px. The drag and throw MC is 1650. That's 550x3. If the first image is showing starting at x axis 0 and you drag to the left it will ease into place stopping and showing the second image stopping the image at x axis 0. And the same thing scrolling to the next one and scrolling back. So the code is below and I've attached the movie that I'm working on.

i got this scene, with this specific bgm , individual frame layer. and the sounds at another layer. what i want is to stop the sound without stopping the bgm . (yes, i know the above code wouldn't work as it stops all sounds)
I am making a character walk. This code will make him wobble to the right and when thats done it will trigger him to wobble to the left and then call the function again to continue the loop.I can get the loop to work fine by calling the function but how do I STOP the function? Also I want to call it later on. Is there a way to start and stop a function?
function wobble()
{
var ws = .1;
var dis = 1;

I have a _mc made visible by, instruct_mc._visible = true;Once the _mc is visible I would like to have a button 'within instruct_mc' that will make, 'instruct_mc._visible = false; again' is this possible? If so what would the AS2 command have to be because the button dose nothing until I take it out of ' instruct_mc
View 4 Repliesi was wondering if theres a way to link the amount and direction of an objects rotation to the mouse position. I want it so if you move the mouse far to the left the object spins fast anticlockwise but if you move it to the center it stops.
View 2 RepliesI'm fairly new at flash development but here goes: is it possible to use xml to drive the layout of a flash website in CS3? Perhaps using ActionScript 2 or 3? In particular, I'm looking to be able to for e.g. create a news ticker where changing the XML allows you to 1) change the text and appearance, 2) framerate can be controlled, 3) interpolations between key frames can be specified (e.g. linear interpolation)
View 1 RepliesI have one MC with the following AS:
stop();

but no such luck with the second MC. Even if I apply the same AS code to the second MC, it still won't work.
I'm currently working on a site that is a mixture of Dreamweaver and Flash. I have some Flash movies that are in DIVs in DW. I need to have some links in those Flash movies that can control visibility of other DIVs. In other words I need a link in the Flash movie to work like DWs Show-Hide Elements feature. Is this even possible? I'm using DW CS3 but Flash MX 2004.
View 2 RepliesI know that the functionality of the addChildToStage and deleteChildFromStage functions works fine because I have tested it here:URL...the nav adds a new instance of "player" to the stage and the big red button deletes "player".I want to start the movie with a mc_CopyBlank on stage and then have the nav issue play(); command to the movie clip held in "player" then have the current frame of that clip trigger the addChildToStage and DeleteChildFromStage functions that I've written here.[code]
View 3 RepliesIs there a way to create an automatic slideshow gallery that is controlled by the thumb position on a scrollbar?
I'm a FLash AS3 noob and I'd like to place an article or story inside a scrollpanel. At certain points of the story, I'd like the thumb (on the scrollbar) to trigger an event that transitions to a new image inside the slideshow gallery.

I am trying to get to grips with actionScript (a beginner) and have created a SWF that calls in a FLV file. From the SWF I control the FLV wit a Play, Pause and Mute button. This works great. BUT now the client wants just a compiled SWF file only. So from this I take it they just want a single SWF file that acts like a video player but in truth is a Flash movie with a timeline effectively embedding the original FLV.
I have tried writing my own code and scouring sites and tutorials but to no avail. What I have done so far is to import my FLV to a Movie symbol in the library. I have put a stop() command on the actionscript for that symbol. I have created three buttons, which at present do nothing. I placed the symbol on the main timeline and exported and it basically plays the video with no control. Now I hit a wall. What I want seems simple in thought but is baffling me in practice.
Now I have the Movie symbol (video) playing I want some control again via the three buttons mentioned earlier. I really want the movie to auto play when loaded and the play button to resume the playhead if the movie is paused. As you will see from the code although I have set up a variable for the mute button I have no idea what I should code to do that or indeed if it is possible. I am on my umpteenth itteration trying to get code to work but I really need help. I don't even know if what I am asking is possible.
Code: Select allfunction onMetaData(data:Object):void
{
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
pause_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pauseMovie);

I have several buttons I need to turn on and off (visibility and alpha) but the function I have written that determines if a given button should be turned off works based on a few variables. I need to be able to control which button is turning on and off with these variables.
I have tried this ("btn" + i)._visible or alpha but does not work. how I can accomplish this?
I have been learning flash and Actionscript 3 for the past couple of weeks and i have progressed nicely with making a site. I have some images being loaded into a MovieClip which are dynamically loaded from on XML. I can set it up so clicking left/right arrows navigates through the pictures and loops or i can set it so it automatically plays without user intervention.
What i would like to do though is have the images loaded into the MC via XML but have it so that when the Actionscript analyses the XML code it creates a small circle on the stage for each image (child) and then each circle is clickable to that particular image. I know this sounds confusing so i am i just seeing if it's possible and if so how. I can easily create frames and links for the circles but i would rather it be done through AS3 if possible so that it is easily updatable.
I am looking for a very easy way to make a video player which just controled by the scrubbar. I have tried the Componet Seek Bar but that doesn't enable the viewer to scrub the bar. I am wanting to use the Scrubbar Player to view 3d models. At Zbrush they have a Scrubbar player [URL] once there click on one of the pics to view scrubbar turntable viewer. Would love to be able to show my models in this fashion.
View 2 RepliesI have created this spinning diamond flash with a dynamic frame rate controlled by the mouse cursor. it spins from the right to the left if the cursor is at the left side of the diamond and vice verse, and also the further away the cursor is from the middle of the diamond, the faster it spins.
it works perfectly awesome in Firefox and by itself, but when it's in IE, the cursor loses control of frame rate, so it spins at the highest frame rate regardless where the cursor is at. I used nextFrame(), prevFrame() to do the winding and rewinding job, and frame rate gets changed in ENTER_FRAME. I've heard some say that IE ignores frame rate per frame? is it true? if so, how do I fix it?
1) I wan't to do a fullscreen videoplayer that listens to the keyboard and that plays a videoclip on demand. I will not use menues or onscreen buttons.
It should work almost like a Video DJ application or a audio sampleplayer but for video. So; when I press any one of maybe ten keys the corresponding videoclip should be played.
I intend to run this locally using Flash player hence not on a browser or on internet so I'm not really limited by bandwidth. I'm on CS4 Flash Professional.
2) Is there a IDE, a runtime development enviroment, for Flash aimed for AS? Despite working on a daily basis with digital media for many years incl. coding in php, javascipt, asp.net, etc I still have a tough time understanding Flash and AS3.
3) A part from traditional keyboard input is there a way for Flash and/or Flashplayer to listen to an non-standard USB input, say a touchpad, joystick etc?
I have five text boxes and a dropdown box in my flex application, how can I make the progress bar fill up when there is text in each box, and the dropdown selected. For example, if there is input in three out of five of the boxes and there is a selection in the dropdown, then the progress bar would be 4/6 full.
View 1 RepliesI realize that this question can start a discussion but that's really not my intention. We've created a Flex Application to take tests from candidates. The advantage of the Flex Application is that all state can be stored in the application running in the browser of the client. Things like time limits, navigation, scoring, ... can all be handled within the application without us having to worry about a back button for instance. Even running the app offline with Adobe Air isn't that hard.
My question now is if such an application could easily be made with HTML, Javascript, Ajax, ... ? The reason I'm asking is because an application in HTML would be much easier to distribute on Mobile devices for instance. Also, our domain model for instance is mostly implemented in AS3 (Flex) so using it along the server side means porting it to C#.NET. (with two codebases as a result).

View 14 RepliesI want to make an interface that can be controlled by the mouse or by the arrow keys - the only simlat to what I'm trying to achieve is the game Colin McRae.
Lets say I have 3 buttons. If I move my mouse on any of them it gets an mouse over effect.
What I want to do is to combine this with the arrow keys that should be able to jump between the buttons - and the one selected is in the "over" state - to select it I press return.
Okay I've tried everything, but I'm sure this is simple. I created this popup scroll within a flash movie that I'd like to have the contents of change according to the button that is pressed. I gave the buttons instance names and the diffeent content is labeled and on different frames. However, the btns all go to the last frame regardless of the labels?! Do I need an if/else statement?
