how to drag a move clip but only change the x value, so dragging left and right. Obviously the startDrag() allows you to drag all over. I had tried
map_mc.onPress = function(){
this.startDrag()
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
[code]....
which "kinda" works but is far far from perfect. This is more or less makes the movieclip slide from side to side, but like i said, its not perfect.
I trying to create an animation that will demonstrate the basics of steering a sailboat. There will be a movieclip top view of the boat hull. Another movie clip will be the boat tiller. One end of the the tiller will have a grip that the user will drag with the mouse. Dragging the grip will turn the tiller turn right or left on its axis. When the user drags the tiller to the left, the boat hull turns to the right, and vice versa. I can get the tiller to rotate in a circle around its axis. However, making the tiller turn no more than 15 to 20 degrees left or right, and creating an event listener that will test when the tiller is turned left or right, then turn the hull the opposite direction as a sailboat would react.

The problem is that the 3d transformation changes along the movement.I want to constrain the 3d transformation so the image distortion (perspective) doesn change.

View 2 RepliesIm trying to do a drag and drop system where the user can drag a movie clip into an area. Although i would like to make it snap to a target instead of just sitting wherever it lands in the area. Problem Two:
The next thing i am trying to do is when the user has a movie clip on a target already, and trys to put another movie clip in that target area, it will replace the one thats in there and go back to its current position. Here is the script of what i have done so far:

I have some movie clips. i want to drag all clips when i drag single movie clip. Ex. I have movie clips "A1", "A2", "A3", "A4", "A5" . Randomly visible some of them. Suppose "A1", "A3", "A4" has visible. When i will drag "A1" movie clip all these "A3", "A4" also move with "A1".
View 6 Replieshow I can create a working scrollbar for a movie clip? I've managed to get as far as inserting two buttons that allow you to move the movie clip up and down, it's just getting the scrollbar to be able to move the clip within a certain ratio that I'm finding hard to do.
View 4 RepliesI tried to translate this old code into actionscript 3, but unfortunately the new code doesn't work anymore.The mouse events of the old code are general, not linked to a movieclip (which I did in the new code with the addEventListeners). How can you do this with as3? Something like Stage.addEventListener? (but then I got an error feedback from flash, so it must be done differently).I also don't know how to translate the onMouseUp part. Maybe with a removeListener?

I have implemented a chromeless windowedapplication in flex 4. But doing so i noticed that all the maximize, minimize and even the ability to drag the window around is gone. I need the ability to drag the window around. I have done a lot of googling and have been unable to come up with anything.
View 1 RepliesI have a tree (in Flex 3.5), and I want to use the drag & drop functionality, but I want to let the user only move nodes, not copy them. I tried listening for the dragOver event and change the drag event's action property if it indicates a copy operation, and also listening for the keyDown event and changing the feedback using the DragManager if the pressed key was ctrl, but to no avail.
View 2 RepliesI am going to have what is essentially a grid of 12 boxes. 4 across 3 high. There will be an object in each box. What I want to do is to allow the user to drag an object from one box into another. This will cause the other objects in the boxes to move up one position to fill in the gap that is left by the object being dragged. I have no idea what this is called or so I don't know how to Google it. Does anybody know if there are any tutorials on how I can get this done?
View 0 RepliesFor a project I am am working on I need a pan effect like the one in URL...Now I was just wondering how to do this. There are various ways I can think off to make the background move according to mouse movement, but nothing I have done comes close to the smoothness in URL...More specifically, I can trigger an event when mouse in moved left/right/up/down in the pressed down stage - this event can tween the background in any direction required. But how do I stop the tween movement when the mouse is released. Since I have asked the background to tween from one its central value to say its rightmost/leftmost value, how do I make it stop in the middle of the tween when the mouse is released.

I'm currently creating a word game where I would like to place tiles, but if possible I need it to be possible to drag select groups of tiles (preferably with a visible selection box as you drag) and move them around all together.. is there a simple way to implement this and still have the tiles snap to a grid ?

View 1 RepliesI would like to attach (using A3) a movie clip to a draggable movie clip. I has set up a movie clip using startDrag() all works fine. But I would like to be able to dynamically place a movie clip inside it so that it too drags. Ive got it to partly work you can drag the original movie clip around and the attached movie clip (using aadChild) moves too. But if I grab the attached movie clip instead of the original clip it moves independently.
Is there a way of getting a movie clip inside the draggable movie clip and have it fixed in place and not move if you happen to attempt to drag it.

View 4 RepliesWhat's the correct way to track mouse position, from Adobe Flash, when someone has: Started a drag within the Flash application (a MOUSE_DOWN event), Dragged the mouse outside the app or even the browser window (a MOUSE_MOVE event), and Released the mouse button (a MOUSE_UP event)? For example (imagine Stack Overflow is a Flash application):
Within the app, I'm able to track the mouse X and Y positions with a MOUSE_MOVE event listener, but I lose it when it goes outside of the browser... So, how do I track the position of the mouse no matter where it goes? For a good example, try Google Finance. Try dragging the chart around; it'll still drag around if you move your mouse out of the browser window, and the mouse will be outside of the browser when you release it.
Also, check out KOKO KAKA; If you click on the scrollbar (make the browser window really small) and move outside of the browser window, the scroll bar moves just like a real one would. I believe both only work because the MOUSE_DOWN event "captures" the mouse, allowing the Flash application to track the position of the mouse even when it is outside of the browser.
it seems simple enough but i have no idea on how i could get a movie clip to slowly move to the coordinates of another existing movie clip

View 5 Repliesi have some script that creates a rotating video wall/carousel effect that rotates left and right depending on where the mouse is.
I want the carousel to only rotate when the mouse is down and dragging - but just can't seem to work out what i need to change.
how do I define the drag action instead of the current +x & -x co-ordinates??
here is the full script for the entire carousel
Code:
*/
import org.papervision3d.scenes.*;
import org.papervision3d.cameras.*;
import org.papervision3d.objects.*;
[Code].....
but just seems to give me errors - would that be because i haven't defined anything else to do with the dragging? how do I declare the carousel is to stop on mouse up?
am i even looking in the right place? does the rotation of the carousel start elsewhere?
When the user clicks and drags across the movie, it changes frames--forward or backward according to which direction they drag. When they're on the last frame it should go to the first frame, and vice versa, if they're dragging in the associated direction.For some reason, there seems to be a minimum speed of mouse movement to go across this point, where it's not present to go between any other pair of slides.Here's the code:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopClick);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickStart);
