I'm doing this drag and drop animation where object 1 is dragged to object 2. When object 1 is dropped onto object 2, I need more than one image of object 1 to appear. I've used this simple code for drag and drop:
on(press) {
startDrag(this,false);
}
on(release) {
stopDrag();
}
I'm creating a drag and drop movieclip to colour a different movieclip. I need to duplicate the first instance so as the original stays in the same place (on the pallette), and then the dragged one can be removed after it has been dropped into the area. This is the script for the dragging and dropping of the original instance, but I can't figure out the duplication/removal part:
on (press) {
startDrag("_root.pallette1");
this._alpha = 70;

Is there any way of Duplicating a movie and then calling upon it to drag and drop it else where? I can't seem to get it working since the script for drag and drop calls upon an instance name - and the instance name for the duplicated movie has a variable at the end so its different all the timeeg duplicateMovieclip("movieclip", "instance name"+i, i)I don't even know if its possible calling upon an instance name that doesn't exist until something is clicked O.o;
View 1 RepliesMy problem is that when I click the letter movieclip it does create the duplicate as it should and it starts to drag the duplicate mc. However, when I release the clip it doesn't stop dragging? I realized that if I put onMouseUP event instead of onRelease it actually does stop dragging when I release the mouse. I would, however not like to use the onMouseUP event if possible.

my drag and drop target works...sort of. Here's the problem, when the target is dropped it should tell the user if it is correct. It does but you have ot keep drag and dropping all over the target to finally get the answer to display. I have checked the registation marks and stage alignment...nothing seems to work. it should be if you drop it over the hit (instance name) it should immediately display the answer of "correct" Here is the code for the drop target:

i'm new to flash AS3. I am trying to create an drag drop activity where the user can match words and meanings by dropping and dragging into the right space. At the moment I want to create multiple drop areas for the boxes. At the moment they will only fall within their own target area - also only the boxes move and not the text. How do i create mutiple drop areas for the words and meanings?

I'm currently working on this project using AC3 which is why I'm posting here.duplicate the drag and dropped movie clip at the point where it is being dropped. I've tried following the other threads related to this .
-The items being dragged and dropped will have a copy of it at the point where it is dropped.
-At the spot where it is being picked up, it must still remain in that same spot.
-The copies that are dropped is able to move, but not able to duplicate.
eq_10mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
eq_10mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dropIt);

View 3 RepliesI am working on a presentation that a user can drag and drop objects from a "component library" onto the map. I want these objects to be duplicated draggable MCs. I have found a very similiar, but more advanced example here: url...In addition to drag and drop and duplicate MCs, this example also scales and rotates the MC, but all I want to know is how they 1)duplicate the MC after one is dragged onto the main screen 2) Clear screen.
View 2 RepliesI know very basic AS and ran into a small problem. I have a movie clip that I would like to be duplicated when the user clicks on it and then they can drag and drop it anywhere while the original stays in its place. Right now I have that working, the user can drag as many copies as they want, however when you release the clip you are unable to drag it anymore. "x" is my movie clip.

View 1 RepliesI wanted to report a problem I've been having with Flash CS5.5 on MacOS 10.5.8 When I drag an element (usually a line or shape) with the alt key pressed (in order to create a duplicate on the stage) sometimes I get a couple of message boxes appear that say "Panel x could not be created removing it from the list" where x is a number like 7 or 9. After I click through these the swatches panel appears in the middle of the screen.
This is quite annoying and holds me up as I have to click through these boxes & then close the swatches panel.
var mySelection = "";
var totalmc = 0;
var depth = 40;

i have been trying to get this to work forever. What im doing here is making a flash site thats like a real time strategy game. You have to build stuff in order to unlock new sections of the site. check out this: [URL] click on build, then drag the Main button and release somewhere above. Notice that when you release it sticks to the cursor and doesnt stop dragging. Now, hit cancel and notice that the main clip is still loaded and works correctly if you drag and drop it.

I posted earlier about getting a zoom effect which was solved by putting the content within 2 containers: the parent container to center the zooming & the pan container (child) to be panned on drag, however when I drag the child a copy of the original remains for some reason?basically I have this to set up the containers:
ActionScript Code:
ParentContainer = new Container();
addChild(ParentContainer);

I have a full page calendar that uses a duplicate movieclip to add the day squares (actionscript adds the day number)
I want to add a target to that "day" movieclip. (I can do this)
Now the part i don't know how to code:
I want to add a star at the top that can be dragged to the target "day". BUT... On any of the days and multiple days.
So i guess the star needs to duplicate movieclip and be able to drag and drop to any of the targets. The target is on a duplicate movieclip itself so the instance name will need to be the same on all days (or i could have it append 1,2.3 ect to the end of the instance name like: target_mc1, target_mc2...)

How would I drop each cover individually at random between two set numbers? I assume I would have to apply a separate timer for each one then somehow make the time at which it drops random between two numbers?
I'm in the process of converting a bunch of as2 projects to as3 and I'm having a rough start.
I have a swf with a couple of movieclips, a button (put on the stage), a button created in actionscript, and a UILoader created in actionscript.
I publish the swiff and open it, and everything works fine.
When I embed this in a web page, both buttons and the UI loader don't show up.
In a canvas, I am having a Box. Inside that box many panels are created at runtime. Right now I am able to drag and drop a panel at other panels position. So as a result all panels shift to right. Now when I drag a panel, I want that view should be as if that panel's image should look like moving. Rite now i am just using an image (dotted rectangle). But what i want it should like the instance of same panel.
View 3 RepliesThere's this flash web page Im developing. All movement is 90% written in code (as oppose to it being created via designer mode). And for some reason the frame rate of page in browser just keeps dropping. Can someone tell me what that reason could be?I am aware of the fact that framerate does change from time to time but I think that after a while it should climb back up. But in my case it just keeps dropping (by the 9000. frame its like 2 fps) and there isnt memory leak cos used memory amout by browser stays the same
View 1 RepliesI have been working on a full flash website and am encountering a strange problem (or at least its strange to me).
I have the main shell of the site, which contains:The layoutNavigationA movieclip which pages are loaded into (external swf's)Some actionscript which streams in an MP3The controls for the background musicA piece of actionscript which loads an animated background (another external SWF)
I then have a series of pages in their own SWF's which get loaded into a movieclip within the shell when the user clicks the relevant button on the menu. Most of these pages contain:The panels for the content on that pageSome dynamic text areas for the text content on that pageSome actionscript which loads the content for that page from a couple of text files and populates the dynamic text areas Then there is a showreel, which has a menu and a customized FLVPlayback component to play audio and video tracks; the data for the menu and the tracks themselves are stored in XML files.
If I am using a connection over 2MBit: Initial preloader appears, shell loads, background music streams in nicely and then the content page is loaded in, panels animate in and the text content appears; all is well and its pretty quick.
If I throttle my bandwidth to below 2MBit (the main tests being done with the connection throttled to 1.5MBit), this happens: Initial preload appears, shell loads, background music streams in but takes a bit longer to start up, content page loads in, panels animate in and the content appears for about 2 seconds.
THEN the contents of the text areas disapears and the word "undefined" appears. So the content seems to be dropped. I've done some testing to identify the cause and if I comment out the code which streams in the background audio, the issue disapears and everything works fine, so it appears to be related to the audio. I will say, its not the most lightweight of sites; its quite graphically heavy (nothing too excessive though) and the background music is a 6MB MP3; the owner of the site is a movie composer so he has a lot of high quality streaming audio.
So I was wondering if anyone knows why this type of issue would occur, it seems strange that Flash would drop the content thats been loaded in, that background music would break the process.
Is there a way to prevent a motion tween w/ rotation from dropping on the Y axis? Basically I used Free Transform to change the angle of a line, but it always lowers itself on the Y axis when I insert a motion tween in it.
