i want to have the user be able to drag and throw movie clips around the stage, but with the code i have so far it only allows for one...how can i give the function to multiple clips without repeating the code a million times? here is what i have
Code:
bag.onPress = function(){
anchorX = this._xmouse;

I am trying to create a drag and throw effect I have most of the effect working correctly but I am wondering how to only move one item at a time and have that thrown unaffected til the friction brings the item to a stop. what happens currently is if an mc is moving and you select another it moves both items.
Code:
var mx0; // Previous Mouse X Position
var my0; // Previous Mouse Y Position
var velocityX = 0; // Velocity in X Direction[code]...................
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 RepliesI have multiple movie clips on stage (all in separate layers, of course) as well as buttons on stage to play each movie clip. There are buttons inside each movie clip. The problem is that the buttons inside the top layered movie clip work, but the others in the movie clips below don't.

View 5 RepliesI'm stuck trying to achieve something in AS2. The principle is easy: the user can drag/throw a timeline (with thumbnails) around, but I want it to snap to certain positions. I've created an example to show what I need ,You can already drag/throw the timeline around, but, as it slows down, I want it to always snap into a position where one of the purple rectangles snaps to the grey area so a thumbnail is always covering the grey area.
So when you throw the timeline hard enough, it would fly quite far (speed of timeline > attraction force of the snapping points), but as it slows down, the snapping force takes over and the timeline snaps in place.
I have buttons on my main timeline which calls a MC using attachmovie(). I have placed an EmptyMC on my main timleline for the MC to be inserted. Now, this particular MC has buttons on it which work fine. However, when I add a throw component onto the EmptyMC, which basicly lets me drag/throw my attached mc, the buttons are disabled. How can I go about correcting this?
Here is the code for the button on the main timeline:
on (release) {
_root.EmptyMC.attachMovie("Content Def", "Clip2", 1);
}
Here is the code from the component I have attached to the EmptyMC:
#initclip 0
function ThrowBehaviorClass(){
// get the target
var target = this._parent[this._targetInstanceName];
// set up the various properties

I need to make a swf that could help him to rearrange things. Basically it means: there will be one picture with the plan of the warehouse and lots of little objects that he could drag onto the plan to see how it would work. (Damn. I am not so good in explaining.) I would like it to work like this: He goes to the page, clicks on button that creates one predrawn object to page and then he could drag it to plan. There are maybe 20 different objects.
View 6 RepliesI have a magnifier made of two movieclips, glass_mc and handle_mc. The glass_mc is a mask revealing an image in a layer below. Now I want the handle to move like this:

on (release) {
stopDrag();

But this script can only take care of one movieclip. I want the glass_mc to follow as well
I have this code to use to pause animations in different areas of a .fla, for each pause I have been copying this and changing the "var timelinePause" and other items as shown after the original code, is repeating this code for each pause just junk code? is there something else from this that I can use to pause?

I have a button that has an onPress function that attaches a movieclip with startDrag(true) so the attached movie snaps to the mouse and can be dragged around. The problem is that I don't know how to set up the onRelease function so that when the mouse button is lifted the attached movieclip is removed. Also, the attached movie appears in the upper left corner for just an instant before snapping to the mouse.
View 9 RepliesI programmatically added 20 instances of a movie clip named "Token" to the stage. Token consists of a small rectangle and a dynamic text field. Each instance of Token was named "tkn." I'm attempting implement drag & drop for these movie clips. In the drag function which is called by the Mouse_Down event I've traced e.target.name. Instead of getting the name of the movie clip, tkn, I get name of the text field contained within tkn. After a lot of searching I found the mouseChildren property and within the code for the movie clip I now have the statement "this.mouseChildren = false;" This change corrected the name problem. I no longer get the name of the text field, but the movie clip name has been changed to "instancexxx," where xxx is a 3 digit number. Since I only want to drag the tkn movie clips I am testing e.target.name. How do I get Flash to keep the name of the movie clip as tkn?
View 2 RepliesI need to set up a Flash swf that enables me to drag and drop a series of shapes from point A to their individual point Bs. However, I need to ensure that this can only be done in a particular sequence. i.e. shape 1 must be moved first, then shape 2, etc. If the wrong shape is moved out of sequence, it snaps back to the starting position until the user moves the correct one.I have the following actionscript on a button within the movie clip which drags :
on(press) {
startDrag(this);
}
on(release) {
stopDrag();

I need some way for the dragging and placing of each shape to only occur if the shape before it in the sequence has already been placed correctly.

I'm having trouble managing the depths of my movie clips. I've got a startDrag() function and a stopDrag() function. Whenever I rollover another MC, I want the depth of that object to change to 1+ the object it rolled over.(I apologize if my English is poor) Can anyone give me a nudge in the right direction? EDIT: This is as far as I got, but cIndex returns the depth of the object that is currently being dragged; not the object it's hovering over... Is there a way to get that depth?

View 2 Replieshow to imitate a reflection of a movie clip in a "mirror." I don't know if I should have the initial movie clip on custom cursor or have it set to drag... but either way I don't know how to make the second clip the "reflection follow along. Obviously it would need to follow at a slightly offset pattern so that you would be able to see both clips (or majority of them) at the same time. It's for a school project that is due at 9am tomorrow so time is of the essence!!
View 4 RepliesI was wondering about the flexability of loading movies into a movie clip. Currently, I am well able to load one movie into a movie "loader" clip, but thought maybe there is a way to load additional movie clips into that same "loader" clip, as i am starting to accumulate several different graphics that i need to have be inside movie clips so that i can make them change colors on the same frame when needed.
i shot from the hip and tried this code, but didnt have any luck:
mc_LCD_loader.attachMovie("hilight", "g", 1), ("header", "X", 1); mc_LCD_loader.g._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.g._y = 1000;
mc_LCD_loader.X._x = 0; mc_LCD_loader.X._y = 1000;

I'm having some trouble following this (link) tutorial. I'm new to flash, so please bear with me.

I'm looking to make a slider bar reveal movie clips on my stage as you drag it along. I've written some sloppy code that works, but isn't smooth by any means. I basically put MCs on different frames on the timeline, and I want those MCs to fade in or out relative to where the pointer is on the bar. This was a workaround, what I think I need is a boolean solution, but I'm not familiar enough with AS to write one from scratch. Here is the code I have so far. Does anyone have any ideas?

Is there a better way hiding mutiple mc's than this?
button1.onPress = function(){

second_mc._visible = false;

What I think I want to do is make an array of the movie clips and apply the function to that array?

I'm working on a project where in I've found it necessary to mask a background object with MULTIPLE Sprites. I've tried doing this two ways: making one "parent" sprite to which all of the other masks are childed; adding them as individual masks.
The composite strategy just sort of gave up, Flash doesn't seem to like having to search through it's render tree to do these things and the result was no visible mask or masking (just the full background image). The latter strategy failed for obvious reasons: saying Sprite.mask = so-and-so implies that setting it again will overwrite the last mask.
Is there any way to use the composite strategy? Or is there a way I can copy over all of my sprites and draw them directly into one new sprite on every frame?
