Am just a begineer with Actionscript but am picking up quite quickly. I been racking my brains and can't seem to find a solution. Basiaclly I've got 5 movieclips on the stage which are draggable. How can i get a message to appear in a text box if the first movieclip is moved higher than the second movie clip?
View 4 RepliesIs there any way to detect when the mouse has moved upwards or downwards?
I currently have a mouse listener with an onMouseMove function that uses the _ymouse to detect any movement within a restricted distance.
But I want the mouse to detect up and down movements in any distance.
I have a movieclip with a prefilled content (some simple vector graphic in a movieclip), with the height of 40. I then apply a mask to it, with the height of 30. Now i would think that the MovieClip is 30 pixel high, but it turns out to be 40 pixel high. Is there some property im not setting or does the movieclip always assume the height of ALL the content within it? or what?
Actually in another clip, too, I have predefined 2 vector graphics (in two seperate movieclips), where the highest one is applied as a mask to the second graphic. The movieclip again assumes the height of the highest element. That might be logical, as it is the mask, BUT! when i then resize my mask (programatically) the height of the movieclip remains the same.Is there some way to recalculate the height of a movie clip? Or am I missing something?
If I have 2 movieclips, how can I know through actionscript which one is at a higher level?
View 2 RepliesI have a Movieclip on stage with nested movieclips inside. All referenced at 0,0. None of the child movieclips load any dynamic content, animate or have Masked Layers. It does have an input textfield in one of the child MCs. The parent MC shows 280 px width, while it returns 313 px with a .width trace. There is no code that alters the .width value of the parent MC at run-time. And the ParentMC on stage is not scaled (it is at 100% width/height)
View 1 Repliesi am trying to make a system that randomly chooses an element movieclip out of 7 types of elements, and then creates that element on the screen. Right after i create the 25 random elements, i attempt to set their location, but they wont budge, my patients are wearing thin with this.Here is my short snippet where it all happens.

I'm trying to limit the range with which a movieclip can be moved on the stage using the mc_name._y = mc_name._y + 10. I'm thinking of using a if/else statement but I can't figure out the proper way to write the code.I don't want my movieclip to be able to be moved off the stage completely.Here is the code so far:
zoomin.onRelease = function () {
tellTarget("a")

I have a simple flight simulator animation. When the mouse is moved over a movieclip (mcHitArea) on the stage the code below moves 2 indicator lines as well as 2 jet images and the background. The problem is that when the mouse runs off, say, the left side of mcHitArea, that mouse location is recorded. Then if the mouse is brought back in from the other side of mcHitArea the images are rotated way off course. These images never come back to center.

I have made an animation consisting of 7 different MC's - each accessed by a hidden button. When I play the individual swf files, with sounds, they work fine. When I place them on the main timeline and export the swf, as soon as I click on any of the buttons, ALL the music/sounds play no matter what MC I'm playing. It is a cacophony of sound that I need to fix before 10th August - when I need to hand the project into University for marking.
View 1 RepliesIn my file I have used greensock transform manager class. At he same time I have used a code to generate text field at runtime which can be moved and deleted. Now the problem is that If I select the text box and then select the black box, the text box will lose its selection.Now if I delete the black box the text box will also be deleted . I don't know why it happens every time. But if i select and delete the text box , then only the text box will be deleted, which is quite natural.

View 1 RepliesI'd like to remove a MovieClip instance from the main timeline (and do a few other things) once that movie is over.
Scenario: I've got a frog catching a fly with his tongue. Once the frog-tongue movie clip is over, I want to remove both the tongue, and the fly from the timeline. Both the tongue and the fly are MovieClip objects. The tongue animation starts based on a TimerEvent. I'd like to say something like: when the tongue MovieClip ends, call removeChild() on tongue and fly.[code]...
I'm trying to load different images from xml to movieclips by detecting the movieclips name dynamically via xml.
Pratically i have 2 movieclips named "sera" and "diurno".I take the names and the relative urls via xml then i try to add the images to the moviclip that have the same name as the xml, so i know that the "sera" movieclip have the "sera" image.[code]...

Is there a way to detect what events have been attached to a movieclip?
I want to remove an event listener only if it has been added, and add it only if it hasn't been added yet.
I'm having trouble having my flash file detect when my mouse goes over and/or leaves a movieclip. I want to have a mini slideshow in my menubar which, when my mouse goes over the movieclip containing the slideshow, the pictures 'enlarge', and when the mouse leaves, the clip becomes normal size again.
This is the code I've gotten the best result with, as of yet, but it only seems to notice that my mouse leaves the movieclip half of the time, and sometimes there's a 'glitch' where the clip zooms and unzooms uncontrollably when my mouse is just next to the clip.[code]...
I have a game and i use function gotoAndStop in actionscript to play frame "moving" in my character game.And in this frame have movieclip. How can i detect when movieclip inside frame "moving" end ?
View 1 RepliesYou might think that this is a stupid question, since everyone who knows a little bit of actionscripting, knows that this can be achieved with onRollOver ... But that's not exactly what I'm looking for.
I have a small tooltip which follows the mouse and asks the user to click in order to close a picture. The tooltip follows the mouse using startDrag("tooltip", true);
But I'd like to remove the tooltip once the user moves the mousepointer outside the picture.
Though, when you use onRollOver, the mousepointer changes into a finger. This is not what I'm looking for since the picture than functions and looks like a button.
So is there any way to detect if a mousepointer is over a movieclip, without changing the cursor?
what Actionscript to put in a movie to detect whether that movie has been loaded into another movieclip?

I have a draggable item, a MovieClip that calls startDrag() on itself when it is clicked, and another MovieClip on the stage.I need the MovieClip to receive ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT events while the draggable MovieClip is being dragged over it, but the lower clip doesn't receive these messages while a clip is being dragged over it.Essentially, ROLL_OVER is only sent to the topmost MovieClip under the mouse. Normally, you'd fix that with some combination of mouseEnabled or mouseChildren on the overlapping MovieClips, but if you do that to a draggable MovieClip, it breaks dragging. I need to detect when the mouse is over the lower MovieClip, regardless of what MovieClips are above it.
View 4 RepliesI have a parent movieclip with a few other movieclips inside it. When I add a mouseclick eventlistener to the stage and click on one of the children, i want the target of the event to be the parent movieclip. I still need the children to be mouseEnabled.
how do you check if a movieclip is a child of another?
