I've got a zoomable map within a frame, and of course I don't want it to be dragged out of view, right? So, how do I set the startDrag (L,T,R,B) parameters when it's a different size when it's enlarged (zoomed)?
if ( between Size>100 AND Size<200) {
startDrag(this, false,400,150,600,250);
} if ( between Size>200 AND Size<400) {
startDrag(this, false,500,250,500,150);
}
I've got a zoomable map within a frame, and of course I don't want it to be dragged out of view, right?
So, how do I set the startDrag (L,T,R,B) parameters when it's a different size when it's enlarged (zoomed)?
Would it be advisable to somehow set multiple conditions to do something like this? (if so, how would I do it?)
if ( between Size>100 AND Size<200) {
startDrag(this, false,400,150,600,250);
}
if ( between Size>200 AND Size<400) {
startDrag(this, false,500,250,500,150);
}
Would it be advisable to do something like that? If so, how would I code it?
If not, what would be a better idea?
...I swear, adding this zoom feature added a whole level of complexity to this map that I've never imagined.
I have a movie clip that can only move to certain parts in the stage. For this I used another movie clip that supposedly should constitue the rectangle constraint. But this doesn't seem to work !startDrag(this,true,bounds._x,bounds._y,bounds._x+ bounds._width,bounds._y+bounds._height);
View 2 RepliesI have a large movieclip (2336 x 1752) and a stage of 800 x 600. I want to be able to drag the movieclip around the stage so no white is visible:
minimum x before I get whitespace: -1536
minimum y before I get whitespace: -1152
maximum x before I get whitespace: 0
maximum y before I get whitespace: 0
I have tried this:
Code:
var mcBounds = new Rectangle(-1536, -1152, 0, 0);
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
[code]...
But it doesn't drag at all...when I try it just moves it to it's maximum position and stays there.Is it because the rectangle can't have negative values?
I'm trying to dynamically set some parameters of a component using AS3. The component has a parameter named "imagePath". I want to set this to a variable named "pathVar" This is where i'm at.
Code:

imagePath=pathVar
This clearly isn't working.
I am trying to load an external swf (which, come to find out, does not include the background color of the loaded swf) into a movieclip. It seems to be pretty easy. But the movieclip I am loading it into is smaller than the swf I am loading. Is there a way to specify size parameters? In other words, is there a way to scale the swf down so that it fits into the movieclip?

I have a video which has an flvplayback inside. I have been using it for others flv. But with these 3 flv, when I set the path in the component parameters, flash shuts down. I have used aftereffects, media encoder to convert them from mov and avi to flv.
View 0 Repliesi have an .as class that extends mx.containers.Canvas (it's a draggable border of a resizable component), it becomes draggable on MOUSE_DOWN and stops being draggable on MOUSE_UP, MOUSE_OUT and ROLL_OUT. before calling startDrag() i create a Rectangle to define the drag area, i also have a _dragging: Boolean variable to control if it's draggable at the moment. the problem is that when i click this border it jumps to a negative coordinate without calling startDrag or switching _dragging to true.
i've overriden get x, set x, get y, set y and move() methods in order to solve it but the only thing i got was the fact that position changes without calling coords setters or move(), but at the moment it's changed a getter is called and returns new (negative) value so my question is what happens on startDrag() and how to filter unwanted incoming coords values?
as you can see, I have a container MC which I have added to the stage. I set its drag constraints using a Rectangle(). I then add the 'cat' child movieclip to the container, and I want this to be dragable too. However, as soon as I click on my cat when testing the MC. It shoots to point x=0 y=0 on the stage and doesn't move.
The container MC can be moved without any trouble.
If I remove the rectangle bounds from the containers startdrag() function. both MC's can be dragged without any issue.

I am trying to make a comic by putting the comic in a movie clip called graphic_novel (also the instance name) but I want to have individual thumbnails in the comic zoomable so that if you hover over them then you get a further zoom into each thumbnail of the comic.
So far I have the following actionscript on the main comic which also has a motion tween between frame 1 and 20 so that it zooms in or out over that amount of frames.
The zoom works fine but I have tried numerous methods of creating invisible movie clip buttons over the individual thumbnails and tried to add similar actionscript to make a further zoom. Basically I want to navigate around the comic using zoom in zoom out.[code]...
i have a main movie w/c is draggable and zoomable where i drag another movie on top of it. Each have its own instance names. my problem is my main movie is the only one that ca be drag and zoom.

I am All Programmer when it comes to anything including flash. I got into making games not to long ago and some people use frames to navigate from the main menu to the game screen and so on (which I have no idea how to do). and some people encapsulate the game inside of a class and call it from the document class and add and remove it when please
View 4 Replieshow I would make one of these zoomable image modules. It's essentially an image viewer with a zooming slider bar.. it zooms when you slide a bar.. I think I could figure that part out pretty easily.. but when it zooms, it's not ONLY enlarging the image.. the image actually gets sharper and reloads a the visible portion of the image..

In my Flash, when you push a button, a symbol goes from having an alpha of 0 to an alpha of 100. When this symbol appears, I want it to begin animating on its first frame. However, I'm not quite sure how to do this. D: gotoAndPlay doesn't seem to be doin' the trick.
View 2 RepliesI am struggling trying to get this variable set. I want to set a variable number to be the frame number of a movieclip. this is what i am trying with no luck:
var fn:Number = movie_name._currentframe();

I have looked at different online examples but cant find an example like this one.
I just spent 2 hours scouring the web for the answer. All I'm seeing is a whole lot of "how do you do it" and a lot of "do a google search for it'. I found a tutorial for CS4 that looked promising yet when I tried it in CS5 the damned Preview attribute (or whatever) just sits there looking at me. You're supposed to be able to click on it and choose a frame. I click and double click and nothing happens.

View 0 RepliesI have 20 frames on a timeline, and a mc in the frames. Frame 1 the mc is _alpha 0%, at frame 20 the _alpha is 100%. A tween between the frames fades up the mc alpha. How can I change the frame 20 _alpha setting from outside the swf file? Say I need the alpha to be 60% at frame 20 BUT I can't open up the FLA, can I adjust the Alpha setting (using Loadvars perhaps) without going back into the FLA? I won't have access to the FLA (when the file is online) and I want to be able to manipulate the frame 20 _alpha setting. I have tried doing this totally in actionscript and not using the timeline, but if I can't get that to work I will need to be able to adjust the alpha parameter without editing the FLA.
View 2 RepliesI'm unable to make it work :Flash exports the first frame in the SWF file as a PNG file, unless you mark a different keyframe for export by entering the #Static frame label.When publishing the fla, the png is build from the frame that is currently displayed in flash (if my timeline is at frame 3, frame 3 get exported)
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to set the frame count of a video manually in Flash BUilder 4? How is the frame length of a video determined in Flash Builder 4? I need to do this in order to trick video format converters into thinking that my video is actually x frames long instead of just 1 (my swf video is controlled completely through as3 code and thus resided on just the 1st frame). This way, the video format converters will be able to automatically (and correctly) convert my videos to another format (flv is desired). Another solution to this would be a converter that actually automatically converts based on video length rather than frame count, but I have already thoroughly searched for one and one doesn't seem to exist.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way where I can compile or build different frame rates into the various layers I create using an action script?? I.e. If there are say six layers running in a particular player, each layer should be running at a different frame rate, independent of each other
The problem am facing is am playing multiple media content in multiple layers (masked, so that it appears as if all the layers are playing in the same level) and each media content played in different layers needs to be played at a different frame rate to get a good visual effect!
Is it possible to change a frame label within a gotoAndStop('label') with the parameters in a function?I'm playing around with updating code as I learn more and more techniques, and at the moment the code is a basic click-a-button to select the object shape, and on press the button disappears:
// Change the object into a circle.
circle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(circle_btn,circle);});
// Change the object into a square.
square_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(square_btn,square);});

However I can't/don't seem to know how to change a frame label through function parameters, or if what I'm trying to do is even possible.Also to note, while I'm all ears for any more efficient ways of doing what I'm trying to do, I would still like to know how/if you can change frame labels through function parmeters.

is there a way to drag multiple movieClips at the same time? Flash help explicitly says: Only one movie clip can be dragged at a time. After a startDrag() operation is executed, the movie clip remains draggable until it is explicitly stopped by stopDrag() or until a startDrag() action for another movie clip is called. anyone know of a way to do it anyway? maybe combining them in a dynamic mc or something?
