ActionScript 2.0 :: Stuck On Mouse Follow Rotation
Aug 29, 2009
I've got a very simple AS2 test file here:URL...I have a simple triangle, and it follows the mouse as it moves around.I'd like to get the triangle to change rotation, to follow the mouse, but my so far bodged version doesn't do that very elegantly.I have this AS on the MC that follows the mouse:[code]
But unfortunately, the ship does not follow mouse rotation. The ship only rotates with respect to the mouse when you move the ship, not when you move the mouse.
First off, lemme start by saying that this site is incredibly awesome. Every time I have a problem or wish to learn something in Flash I turn to [URL]. Now for my problem. Have you ever played Madness? You know how, depending on where the mouse is, the hand rotates i.e. points at the mouse's current position? Well, I want to learn how to do that. I've attached a short animation demonstrating what I want to be able to do (the arrow points at the mouse's position, and then gun represents the movie clip that rotates) using a script
I found this tutorial [URL] and is wondering if I could limit the area where the clip can follow? I'm planning to have my cartoon's EYEBALLS follow the mouse move.
I have 1656x1332 px 30fps movie clip sliding or rotating on click event inside of 850x550 px stage. For some reason the clip gets stuck on rotation sometimes, even though the whole file is only 46 KB. Moreover, depending on browser, the rotating part can fly completely off the stage and the only way to get it back is to refresh.[code]
I am looking for a quick and simple way of having a movieclip follow the mouse with easing, until it reaches the mouse, at which point I want it to stop. It needs to ease out, so the standard cursorMC.x = mouseX will not do (also because it doesn't update the position of the mouse.
I have created a small flash movie where the eyes of the character follow the cursor. Its based on this one here Only problem is, it only works while the mouse is actually over the movie. Is there any way to increase the sensitive area to the whole screen without increasing the actual size of the movie?
The main FLA has buttons linked to external swf files that are nested in a layer inside an html file. When rollover occurs, it opens up corresponding swf file. Problem is that when a user moves mouse too quickly over the stage, the rollout gets stuck in the last button the mouse posssibly passed by.
I've been going through some tutorials and samples of "drag and drop" flash movies and I always come upon the same bug. The drop target gets "stuck" to the mouse, and when I click the target it just drops down and doesn't return to its orig. position. This mostly happens when the target in the "lower order" is dropped behind a target that is "in front of it" Now I have used the [code]...
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.
...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.
I can't find any info on this so I guess I'll just ask. I'm trying to make moveclips that will follow the mouse pointer on MOUSE_OVER but only up to a certain distance then tween back to its original coordinates (preferably with a bounce or elastic ease).I tried startDrag(); on mouse over and that works quit cool but the problem is stopping the drag...
The buttons on this drop down menu ocassionally get stuck when I roll the mouse over the button too quickly. I am working in Flash and running in the project of Flash Player 8.
I have 4 flyout buttons on my flash and when you RollOut of the button, it plays the closing animation. But if you quickly move the mouse back onto the button before it is finished playing the RollOut, then it gets stuck and flashes and kind of strobes.
make eyes move and follow a mouse on the _x and _y axis, but the eye needs constrained with in an eye socket.I have used two mc to constrain while mousedown.
I have a compass that is rotating depending on the position of the mouse, however it rotates it from the top left of the stage not the movie clip, how to get the AS to recognise the centre of the compass.. Also, I thought a nice touch would be if the compass had a slight "wobble"
I have this kind of menu structure design (see image attached), and the way It needs to work is when the mouse goes close to a topic it follows it and when the mouse is a certain distance away it springs back to its orginal place?
I am trying to have a flashlight follow the mouse from it's pivot point. Rotating from its registration point, 180 degree rotation. Also have it move back to place if the mouse is off stage.
I found several tutorials that work great for having movie objects follow the mouse but I haven't been able to find one that restricts it to only a certain area. This is one of the tutorials that I was looking at: http:[url].......What I basically want to do is have this hanging lamp tilt either left or right depending or where the mouse comes from.
I have a graphic replacing the mouse cursor and I'm having it so that when the user goes over a MC (called hitSquare in this case) the cursor graphic moves to a certain location on the stage, then returns to the location of the real mouse position.[code]The problem with this is that during the 0.5 seconds that it takes the graphic to return to the mouse position, the user can still move the mouse, so it actually goes to different co-ordinates and when the user moves the mouse after the 0.5 is over, the cursor just jumps to the new location.How can I make it so that the graphic smoothly follows the mouse, (even if it's being moved and has to update in real time) and then returns to the standard mouse follow code (cursorMC.x = mouseX; etc) once it's met its final destination?I take it this requires some "mouse trail" code that gets removed once it's caught up with the mouse.
I am trying to make a menu bar that when the mouse moves around from button to button it has a bar that follows under the text.I have found scripts for making a MC follow a mouse around the screen but I cant find anything for what I need.
I am working on a project that involves having a FollowSpot following the mouse until the user click on a button. Beeing fairly new to Flash, I searched on the Internet and came out with a few ideas but I could not find exactly what I was looking for. I have included the code that I now use as a test bench: Everything is included on one frame and it obviously has to loop until a selection is made.
In my latest project I'm trying to have a line follow my mouse, I succeeded doing this with the LineTo and MoveTo functions this is what i have come up with [URL]if you will play with it for a while you will notice that sometimes the line is burned on the screen and just stays there,Another thing i want to achieve is that the line will be created out of a movie clip and will have animations and graphics in it insted of just plain color.
i have a plane that gonna follow the mouse but i dont want the plane to stop when it reaches the mouse position , instead it needs to continue its wauy then follow the mouse when it moves again this is what i have so far package
I really didn't want to have to post this question on any forums because it would be hard to explain, but I have spent far too many hours trying to figure this out so I have no choice.his is what I want to do: I want to have a little ball follow the mouse but not go into any walls at all. Here is a swf of my current attempts at doing this:As you can see, if there is a Y obstruction but not an X one, the ball will still follow mouseX, and vice-versa. However, there are some glitchy limitations as to having the ball follow mouseX when there is a Y obstruction and it must go over some hills to get to mouseX.Also, the code currently only checks to see if the four points around the ball are sinking into the walls, but it would be nice if it used more complex sphere calculations, or maybe 8 points
