I have a movieclip with a dynamic text box inside it that gets filled with content from an external source. It scrolls up contstantly and is masked, this works fine. I would like to know how to determine when the movieclip's bottom is beside/parallel to the mask movieclip's top. Basically, I want to find out when one movieclip is beside another.
View 6 Repliesi have 2 intersecting movieclips.
is there a way to hit test point NOT detecting a bottom movieclip if the mouse is over the top movieclip?
I use addChild method to add a mc. But once I did it, I found it is the top of other items on the stage. What can I do to arrange the movieclip to the bottom.
And also if some of the movieclip I import by script and some are imported by dragging from library, how can I define which is in a upper position?
function loadBody():void {
if (body=="1") {
this.addChild(_mc1);
_mc1.x=200;

View 2 RepliesI have movieClip (in as3) and I'd like to know is this movieClip playing now
View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a scenario where I can have two or more movie clips interact with each other to determine the distance between themselves. I found a script online where it does two movieclips however I need it to do more than two, possibly up to about a dozen. That is the first part. The second part is that I need to be able to select one movieclip and for it to become the "master" and then the other clip determine there distance from the "master". I hope I am explaining this correctly. I have attached the fla file which has the script in it for two movieclips, and then I have modified to add the other clips but not sure of the coding to make it work.
View 5 RepliesI am building a website for a client in Flash. (horrible idea I know; they insisted)I am a novice in actionscript, and I can't figure out how to keep a bottom nav bar, that is a movieclip, above the bottom of the browser window so that it doesn't disappear.
View 1 RepliesI created a movieclip that follows the mouse up and down with easing, using this code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_y = 400;
speed = 5;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
endY = _root._ymouse;
_y += (endY-_y)/speed;
}
What happens is that when I load the page the movieclip goes to where the mouse is right away, before I even put the mouse over the frame. How do I get the movieclip to stay at the bottom of the frame until I move the mouse over it?
I have some movieclips like this one: game_mc.substage_mc.rightHand and inside the rightHand i have a thread_mc like this:
game_mc.substage_mc.rightHand.thread_mc
Ok so here is the thing, i need to access the thread.x and thread.y position related to the stage or substage_mc i donīt really care, but if i do this[code]...
ive been trying to get a mouseover working but im having some trouble.
I need it so when i mouseover a movieclip text appears in a textfield at the bottom of the stage.
also when i click the mc the text stays there as im dragging it into the correct location.
I have a MC in an AS3 animation and I want to increase its height from bottom to top which would mean that the registration point should be bottom of the MC and center of width (horizontal center).
View 2 RepliesI have some floating window that opens above my page. The problem is that I don't want buttons above to be trigerable. I tried to put an movieclip on bottom layer of floating window and tell him not to show hand cursor, but it looks as if my floating window is transparent. I could still push buttons below and cursor would change into hand. [URL] go to button "ostalo" and click any of galleries. Then go over reed floating window and you'll notice that you can push buttons underneath.
View 1 RepliesOkay this is always something that's puzzled me. If I create a movieclip, place that clip on the stage, then inside that movieclip, create another movieclip, how does flash determine the coordinates of that second movieclip in relation to the stage. The reason I am asking this, is that I have a large movieclip which contains a number of other smaller movieclips. When a user clicks on one of the smaller movie clips, I need the larger movieclip to move so that the clicked movieclip is now centered on the stage.
I figure that this would be easier to know if I knew how to calculate the distance which the second, smaller movieclip is from the center of the main stage in x and y coordinate values. Am I making any sense? If not I'll try to explain again.
I'm planning to provide the visitors of my website an option to toggle between their normal window and an optional fullscreen window. I just don't know how to align a simple movieclip to the left bottom of my fullscreen window (margin 20px). I can't use static parameters because it has to be adjusted to everyone's personal screen resolution. Does anyone know how to fix this?
View 1 RepliesI have a MovieClip with an image in it that is designed to animate and move in a certain direction depending on which way the MC is "facing." To that extent, yes, there is a "front" to the MC.
However, I am at a loss for how to determine which way it is facing. Use of scaleX does not work as if I innately put the MC in my work area before the coding and flip it, scaleX will always be 1. Attempting to throw in a hidden MC within that MC and determining if its X value is greater or less than zero didn't work either, because THAT number will always remain the same.
For some additional info, the MC is designed such that 0,0 is in the BOTTOM left corner, at which point the image within the MC is facing left. Flipping it so 0,0 is in the bottom right makes it face right.
I cannot, in any way, shape or form, use a variable within the MC to say which way it is facing either, as there could be a dozen of this same MC active, only with different instance names, at a time. The only way I could use a variable within the MC is if I could determine which way it was facing anyway, which is exactly what I'm trying to do here.
I want to put a movieclip with tools at the bottom of the window in the center with tools icons, it should have fixed posiiton so that user can scroll the main window having it always on prompt. I think I need the browser window size properties to do somenthing as this. Is there a way to get them?

View 2 RepliesThis has lost me already about 30 minutes of my work time. The panel decided to make itself extra tall, so I can't see the bottom of the panel. I see no way to vertically resize the panel. The only way that I think you can do that is to click and drag the bottom of the panel. The bottom of the panel is below the bottom of the screen even though I've dragged the panel up as high as it can go. How do I resize it?

I am working on a FLASH website that loads 3 flash movies (header, content and menu). The menu movie is displayed at the bottom. I am looking for a way to display the menu always at the bottom of the browser window (the visible bottom). This way, if the screen resolution of the user is too small, the user won't have to scroll to see the menu. I know it can be done. On this page, you can see that the copyright character is always displayed the bottom right of the browser window.[URL]

i'm looking at the site [URL] and notice that when you click the links, when the content box resizes, its height only expands from the bottom and isnt equally distributed. Is there a special way to do this? Or do you think they just have a movie clip on the bottom that expands both way and is just covered by another of the same color so it appears as if only the bottom is expanding?

barreMenu._y = Stage.height;
logo._x = (Stage.width - 800) / 2

I've never been asked to do a flash header with a colored banner before, and so now as I do one I find that there's this annoying line at the bottom of the object.

As you can see from the source code I've added
object {
outline:none;

But that doesn't seem to do the trick.
