Im currently designing a map with a drag and drop action as well as a zoom in and out with the mouse wheel, my problem is that when i drag and drop my image and then go to zoom in or out the image will automatically reposition itself back to the center, im wanting to be able to drag the image which is converted to a MC anywhere in my masked box then zoom in and out on that area that is shown is the masked box,
View 6 Repliesi have made a site in flash cs3, with various things repositioning on screen resize, and everything works wonderfully, until i have checked it on a mac, on which everything's offsetted to the left. i thought that flash acted the same way on any platform (on all browsers in windows it does look great), but.just for some reference, this is the resize function (sorry for the length, i dont have a clue what's valuable and what aint):
Code:
function resizeHandler(Event):void {
if (stage.stageHeight>=400) {

I'm trying to resize and reposition 'geschenke' which is a movie clip ... when you rollover the buttons a number will come out but since I resized the mc the positioning is off. How can I rewrite/use this code no matter what size the mc ends up being the positioning will scale with the stage.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("numbers", getNextHighestDepth());
for (i in geschenke){
zahl = Number(substring(geschenke[i]._name, 7, 8));
nummer = numbers.attachMovie("numbering", "numbering" + zahl, zahl);
nummer.stop();

Is it possible to reposition the blinker in a text box?
I have a text box and the user can press a key to add a specific string and I've already done that. The problem is the blinker ends up between whatever the user typed and the new string, so they have to move the blinker to the end before resuming typing which is, needless to say, very annoying.
I was wondering if there was any sort of actionscript that can check and/or modify the position of the blinker.
Something like:
Code:
on (keyPress "*") {
//Move blinker to the end of the textbox here
}
I am trying to reposition a flash element.Go to [url].....I would like the badge and the cup in the center to be centered in the blue flash background.I would like the blue flash background to be transparent, so the web page can showup around the badge.How can I do this?

I have a game: The object circled is the amount of shots you have left. But it removes the last object in the array, so the last bullet, its hard to explain, I have 20 bullets, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. The array is removing the 1 first. Well what I am saying is number 1 is actually number 20, so the array is doing nothing wrong, I did. But I am not sure how to reverse the order.
So [ its removing this one-> o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o]
But [ --------------------------------- o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o <- I want it to remove this one]
The reason being is because the user cannot see how many they have left, so think angry birds, the amount of birds is displayed according to the amount there allowed, its to the left of the slingshot, like mine, every time the bird is shot, the rest of the birds shimmey towards the slingshot untill there is none left --- This is what I want, but have managed to confuse myself aswell as you most likely.
Here is my code, to generate and take awau my bullets/birds
public function createShotIcons() {
shotIcons = new Array();
for(var i:uint=0;i<20;i++) {
var newShot:ShotIcon = new ShotIcon();
newShot.x = 200-i*15;
newShot.y = 300;
addChild(newShot);
shotIcons.push(newShot);
}} public function removeShotIcon() {
removeChild(shotIcons.pop());
}
My project imports a custom class with a function called at runtime that creates a textField.
I want to be able to change the x and y coordinates of this textField [tf.x and tf.y in the class] from within the parent movie (not the class itself) but am having trouble.[code]...
This is hard to explain, so bear with me... I'm creating "pages" of draggable buttons so that I can reorder them according to their revised positions. Everything works great but I'm stumped as to how to drag the buttons forward or backward a page based on the current active page. If you look at the file you'll see exactly what I mean. I have a portion of the code commented out because that's the area I'm stuck on.
All the MC's are created on the initial load, with each additional page appearing "off the screen" by an adding 1000 pixels per page (in the X direction). Then I just reposition all the MC's as the pages are scrolled through.
What I really want to do is drag a button to the edge of the screen and have all the MC's move that represent the appropriate page. I think I need some sort of timer there or it just flies to the last page.
FYI, if you change the variable "TotalVBs" it will modify the number of displayed buttons. If you change the variable "myButtonScale" it will modify the scale of the buttons. Increasing either or both of these will add more pages to the program. [code]...
I'm currently building an application that allows users to "import" uploaded images into the FUI and move them around to place them where they want. I have three seperate sections where they can do this and each section has a different maxWidth and maxHeight... What I'm trying to accomplich is to be able dynamically bring the image in resize it so that it fits within the _root.maxWidth and _root.maxHeight, while constraining the proportions, THEN I need it to be be placed (if needed) within the boundry of the section they are importing the image to...
I'm grabbing the image via the tree component and continuing from there... here is my code.
Code:
myTreeDataProvider = new XML();
myTreeDataProvider.ignoreWhite = true;
myTreeDataProvider.load("tree_source.xml");
myTreeDataProvider.onLoad = function() {

I am using CS4. I have my Flash all setup and running perfect now w/ motion tweens etc.But I am trying to reposition some of my symbols on the stage (to get them into better alignment with other symbols), and every time I do this the move is recorded, and when I play back it shows the motion of my position change on my tween.Is there a way to simply move my symbols w/out losing their current tween, but not creating a new motion effect?
View 1 Replieshow to reposition an icon inside a button on any x,y cordinates . i know how to use labelplacement etc but still i dont get the full control over them. i m just wondering if there is a way to directly access and control the x,y position of an icon in a flex button
View 1 Repliesi would like to remove one or more object at runtime.
After each removed movieclip rest movieclips should be reposition as below. (Removed moviclip is 4 at representative figure)
Movieclips can be more.
using the following code i am trying to get a movieclip to reposition itself prior to loading an image. Then once the new image is loaded - the other movieclip will reposition itself. Currently, the functions are cancelling each other out - b/c the one function is within an onEnterFrame - take a look:
Code:
holderHitMC.onRelease = function() {
holderMask.newY = -854;
if (holderMask._y == -854) {
[Code]...
As you can see - i have a button with an onRelease command telling the movieclip to reposition - then onEnterFrame once the file is fully loaded the movieclip should return. The problem with this is that it does not allow the movieclip to move for the onRelease b/c the onEnterFrame is saying to go to the other position. If i add the delete this.onEnterFrame the movieclip - on future loads will reposition for the onRelease fuction but will not return.
There seems to be just one problem I cant get around. Its a full screen flash site so when the browser gets resized, it looks all weird until you refresh the browser. I think it would be too hard to make a function to reposition all of my movieclips when the onResize event gets triggered so I figured it may just be easier to restart the flash movie from the start when it gets triggered, how could I refresh the movie, or possibly even refresh the browser? here is the site so you can see what I am talkin about [URL]
View 4 RepliesI'm working on a video player with full screen capabilities. I have the control bar set to tween in and out of the video screen with a mouse event. I'm also trying to position the control bar at the bottom of the screen when it's in full screen mode. My problem is that the control bar doesn't reposition when in full screen because of the tween functions. I'm thinking that whatever solution comes up that I might go in the if statement of the full screen code.

I have an ActionScript 2.0 project with a very simple timeline Alpha Tween ("Classic tween" in CS4) of a movie clip. I need to reposition the movie clip dynamically when the movie is launched, before the Tween is executed (as in "x_mc._x = 100;").
I found out that after changing the clip position the Alpha Tween as well as the Alpha final value are totally ingored. The clip is shown in the updated position but remains throughout in the Alpha setting of the first keyframe (even when it reaches the last keyframe which has a different Alpha setting). I verified that the Tween itself is executed by placing Trace statements at both keyframes. If I remove the repositioning statement, the Alpha Tween works fine (but of course in the original position which is wrong)
I have designed a menu that When you mouse over it, a custom cursor appears. When you mouse down it disappears and when you mouse up it returns. If you happen to mouse down and then drag the mouse off of the menu (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up outside the menu, the custom cursor disappears. All good. The only issue is: If you happen to mouse down on the menu and then drag the mouse off of the menu AND off of the stage, i.e the SWF (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up completely off of the stage, the custom cursor appears at the point it left the menu. I have tried to fix this using MOUSE_LEAVE but this dosnt work when the mouse button is pressed down. I have attached an FLA, SWF and the AS below.
Code:
stop();
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

I have a map application that when I use the mouse wheel the map will scale up or scale down. The next thing I want to do is to focus on the mouse pointer while zooming on the part of the map.
I have this code...
function focusMousePosition(){ onMouseMove = function (){ Stage.width = _root._xmouse; Stage.height = _root._ymouse; updateAfterEvent(); }}
var mouseWheelListener = new Object();var wheelNum:Number;
mouseWheelListener.onMouseWheel = function(wheelNum){ focusMousePosition(); if (wheelNum > 0){ map._xscale *= 0.9; map._yscale *= 0.9; }else{ map._xscale *= 1.1; map._yscale *= 1.1; }}Mouse.addListener(mouseWheelListener);
I have a very simple piece of code but it has one very annoying bug. When I press the button a second time, the code doesn't work. The only way to get the code to work is by moving the mouse a tiny bit, or moving the mouse off the button and back on. make a button that can be clicked many times without moving the mouse?
Code:

Is it possible to use a movie clip to block the mouse from activating the stage MOUSE_OVER event?
View 4 RepliesIn a project i'm doing I have a custom cursor, using the start drag command and mouse.hide. the issue being that the movieclip being dragged is blocking the mouse from initiation mouse events properly.
View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip I am using as a button (instance name btn1) and I added an event listener to it (using the following line): btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, animate1); the function "animate1" triggers some small animation when the mouse is over the movieclip. my problem is that the animation is triggered both on mouse over and mouse out events.
View 5 RepliesIt has been awhile since I have worked in flash.Right now I am working on something where I would like a panel to disappear when someone mouses off the stage.stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, leaveHandler); It usually works fine but if I move my mouse really fast it doesn't fire. I have also tried the same thing using a custom invisible button that surounds the perimeter of the stage and I have tried ROLL_OVER and MOUSE_OVERand again, if I do it too fast my event doesn't fire (I am using trace)I can't find anything on the net about this - is this typical of flash that if you move your mouse too fast you break it? Do I need to increase my frame rate (I would really rather not because I have perfectly timed animations - I am at 30 frames per second)
View 1 Repliesi was trying to do in the above subject title... I have now decided to create a project using AS3 and would again be in any of your debts if you can guide me towards a similar code / function to the following:
var nTimeoutId:Number;var nTimeTolerance:Number = 6000;
import mx.utils.Delegate;
_root.onMouseDown = Delegate.create(this, setUserActivityTimeout);setUserActivityTimeout();

when the mouse rolls over an image, text appears (in a small rectangle) and it moves with the mouse, only while it is still over the image.
Or at least, does anyone know what this is called or how to do it?
I have a flash that has a background symbol that responds to CLICK event. On top of that symbol I have a sprite that contains a Bitmap with transparent pixels. Both of them are added to the stage, so they are not related directly.
I want clicks on the transparent pixels on the sprite to go straight through to the background. I have read about mouseEnabled / mouseChildren but have not been able to make these work. The symbol ignores the mouse events when I use them, but does not pass it along as if its transparent.
Is this possible to do with flash? Or will I have to re-route mouse events?
As of Flash 10.2, Flash supports hardware accelerated mouse cursors:[URL]..Unfortunately, the mouse cursor doesn't update until AFTER the mouse moves. You can see this behavior on the web page above. If you click "Set to custom cursor" in the sample app at the bottom of the article, you'll see that the cursor doesn't change until you move the mouse.
Anyone have a trick for updating the mouse cursor immediately, before the user moves the mouse? I tried doing Mouse.hide(); Mouse.show(); but that doesn't work.
I am creating mouse scroller and when I insert actionscript my images wont move depending on the mouse movements..I am using Flash cs5 and Actionscript 2.0...this is my actionscript:
