Is there a pointer/tutorial on how create something similar to the following sites: [URL]
It appears that there are multiple layers that move at its own speed when rolling left or right.
I recently came across a small business site that had a homepage with there logo and some basic nav in the center with the business logoBut there entire background had a moving flash background made up of photos in the shape of words, that when you moved your mouse to the left, the background would move to the right, up and it would go down and so on as if it followed your mouse but inverted.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a movieclip that contains 6 different images. In this movieclip, I would like, for example, a mask that follows the mouse to reveal the next picture. (ex: Image 1 has a circle mask revealing Image 2. When clicked, Image 2 will now be at the front with a circle mask revealing Image 3. And then Image 6 will not have any mask but on click will go back to the beginning)I understand that a lot of it will be up to how I order them in the timeline and frames.My problem is that in my class, we've learned how to do this for TWO images only, and the only way for the mask to move is to use the MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP events (which is where the mask is only movable if you move it yourself.)It would be a big help if someone can first answer these questions:
1)What is the function called/is for instead of a MOUSE_DOWN/UP it will just simply follow the mouse?
2)Would I have to create 6 frames with, let's say, Image1 and Image2 on Frame 1, then Image2 and Image3 on Frame 2 etc? And each frame will have its own actions layer frame?
Basically I want to have a scrollable map ie. you can grab it with your mouse and move it. Exactly the way google maps works (although I'm not terribly concerned about the inertia effect that google maps has). But I also want to have objects on the map, that when the map is moved, they also move, but I can grab them individually also, and move the objects. Obviously when I nest these objects in the background symbol, they lose their independence and therefore can't be moved separately from the map. And I've been having difficulty making the objects follow the map, while maintaining their own position (they just snap to the maps position).
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to get my movable button to stop activating. It's looping (up/over/down/hit).
loupe_mc.onPress=function() {
this.startDrag();
};
loupe_mc.onRelease=function() {
this.stopDrag();
};
I figured that Flash would be the best for the result I'm going for. I am making an Adobe Flash website and part of the website includes a box that is draggable and movable around the screen. So, to keep it simple, how can I make it movable?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to have a movieclip loaded to the stage not movable, but after a certain amount of time you can click on it and drag it to where you want it to go, and if so how would you go about doing that?
View 1 RepliesI have a Large moveable object that can be clicked and dragged around the movie, but how can I make so that if I border off an area of the movie the objects movement is limited to those corners. So the top left of the object cannot be dragged further than the top left corner of the border and so on.

View 3 RepliesI've been trying to figure this out for a while now and cannot get it to work. I have a movieclip that can be moved up, down, left and right with the arrow keys, and reflected/flipped using the arrow and control keys together. However, I want to be able to use the arrow keys and shift to rotate the movieclip about a point with x co-ordinate 230 and y co-ordinate 180, regardless as to whether or not the movie clip has been moved up, left, etc.I've tried several different codes based on examples I've found online, but none have worked. I cannot make sure the centre point of rotation never changes.
View 0 RepliesI know there's all these posts on how to use For... loops to hittest, but no matter how hard I try, they just don't work. So, after hours of hair tearing, paceing and starting a new game I've decided to bother you all for help.
My situation is that in the game I'm making, I have a movable turret firing duplicated bullets. I need to hittest them against a duplicated set of oncoming robots. I've tried using a for loop, but I just can't get it to work.
I've attached the .FLA, and I would be grateful if anyone could point out what I'm doing wrong (ignore the values for removing the clips and the random duplication; I had to shrink the stage size to make the file size smaller
I've made a site with small draggable "popup" windows (not actual windows since they are objects in flash..) I can drag em off the scene outside the edge. I've attempted many things.. A adaptation of the collision script found through search.. (on collision it stopped dragging) Worked nice, until you move the mouse real fast, then it can pass right through or partly through and the fact that it's stopdrag. It takes effort to get it from the edge. It's stuck basically.
I fixed it by making the on (press) change frame in a moveclip containing the border.. had a side effect though.. You can now drag the window out from the scene if you repetitively drag it towards the edge. Is there a way to limit a movieclips possible X & Y positions? (in both + & - range to make it a 4 cornered block). I also want the moveclip to keep moving up/down if if hits the right/left edge if you continue dragging it up/down (same with left/right edge also)
I tried the scrip from the "dynamic mask":
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
getlimits = _root.normalpic.getBounds(_root);
if (_root._xmouse>=getlimits.xMin && _root._xmouse<=getlimits.xMax && root._ymouse>=getlimits.yMin && _root._ymouse<=getlimits.yMax) {
this._x = _root._xmouse;
this._y = _root._ymouse;
}}
I changed the size of the "normal pic" and it works lovely.. but it's on enterFrame... and I need to react on on press and on release.. : tried to adapt it but cant figure out how.. and besides the script don't allow movement along the edges (like I described above) and if you move the mouse fast enough the window stops short of the edge..
How can I go about creating an adjustable background like in the following site

I presume the width of the background changes depending on the resolution of each monitors.
How can i make a MovieClip object drag able by the mouse? If i have two MovieClip instances, is it possible to make a new shape/MovieClip objects in that looks like a line and which will connect then? I have functions checking if the 'nodes' movie clip instances collide with the 'line' movie clip instances, now these all are different functions and conditional, but is it possible to check if ALL of them are true?

View 3 RepliesI need to create a fullscreen background when I press a button, so I created this code, it works only if I'm not in fullscreen mode... why??
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE,resizing);

I can't understand why if I push de button to go full screen and then I press the button to create the "ombra" sprite, it doesent work, it doesnt create the sprite, but If I press esc to go out the full screen, it magically apper.
If I press the createOmbra button before going full screen everithing works fine.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a repeating tiled background. I've also attached the FLA (tiledBg issue.zip) so you can test it for yourself. The code works well, but it's acting weird when resizing the stage. It looks like new tiles appear on top of the existing one, thus darkening the screen. Just take a look at the screen capture to see what I mean. and here's the code I used:
