ActionScript 2.0 :: DropTest - Check And See If The Dragged Movie Clip Is Completely Within The Bounds Of Another Movie Clip

Jan 11, 2010

I'm creating a small drag & drop activity, and I want to be able to check and see if the dragged movie clip is completely within the bounds of another movie clip (or at least in the bounds of a certain x/y zone on the main stage. I can't use dropTest because it returns true if any tiny bit of the movie clip overlaps with the dropTest movie clip.

I also thought of something that just checks the x/y coordinates of the dragged movie clip, but I'd need this to reflect a range of values rather than one coordinate. For instance, I'd want to return true if the movie clip's x is between 50-60 AND the y is between 50-60. I'm attaching a small graphic to illustrate in case my explanation isn't clear enough [URL]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Detect Haven't Dragged The Movie Clip?

Mar 24, 2009

I have the standard drag and drop functionality setup with the MOUSE_DOWN / MOUSE_UP commands. However, if I just click on the item and decide not to drag, it still executes the commands like it was dragged. Is there any code I can put in so that if they decide not to drag the movie clip, the function doesn't fire?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Constrain A Dragged Movie Clip To The Stage?

Jul 1, 2011

I have a movie clip (pano_mc) that I can click and drag left and right. When I drag it to the right, it stops dragging when the left edge of the clip reaches the left edge of the stage. This is great!
 
When I drag the image to the left, the right side edge if the clip does not stop at the right edge of the stage, but continues to click and drag until it reaches the left edge of the stage.
 
I need the left edge of the clip to stop at the left edge of the  stage and the right edge of the clip to stop at the right edge of the  stage.
  
Here is the code I have so far
 
The pano_mc is registered to the top right corner and is 7024px in length. I know it is a bit large. The axis_mc is anchored to the upper left.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Graphic To Be Hidden Once A Movie Clip Has Been Dragged Over It?

Mar 14, 2007

I need a few answers and pointers for my game [URL] First off, is it possible for a graphic to be hidden once a movie clip has been dragged over it? The plan is for the grid to be covered in question marks, until the users drags the small smiley over the same large smiley at which point the question mark will be hidden revealing the large smiley. The user then gets a 2nd chance to match up the other remaining smiley, if they fail to get the right smiley is it possible for the question mark image to appear back over the top of the smileys?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Completely Disable Movie Clip Button?

Apr 24, 2010

I have an swf with several movie clips set up to work as navigation buttons (using _up, _over and _down frame labels). The same navigation swf is used by several different HTML pages and navigates between them.

I want to pass the swf a variable with FlashVars in the object/embed script that will disable the movie clip button for the page the user is currently on.

In AS3 myClip.enabled = false; only removes the rollover behavior of the clip, but does not prevent the clip from receiving mouse events.

How can I disable the clip completely so that it does not respond to events?

If the person just runs their curser over the movie clips really quickly, then it should do nothing. It must be more than a second. How do I code that?

ActionScript 3.0 :: MCs Classes - Can't Send An Event From The Eagle Movie Clip Or The T2D Movie Clip To Tell The Other To Fade Out

Nov 5, 2010

There is a bad gap in my knowledge with Event Dispatch and Event architecture, and this problem proves it. I've been getting nowhere on this problem for two days, I've posted everything to my Flash site. Go here, please: [URL] Click on "Flash Banners" The two thumbnails represent two different classes. Each class is identical. Both are "extends Movie Clip" classes. Tweeners of various types control the hover and click methods. URL Loaders load the thumnails which I then wrap in MC's and make them buttonMode = true, etc. Hover and click to load the Banners on the thumbnails.

I can't send an event from the Eagle movie clip or the T2D movie clip to tell the other to fade out. Both Banner classes are instantiated through a separate Base class. I'm sure this has to be an Event Dispatch from one MC to another and that it can't be done by the Base class. how I can send an Event or Event Dispatch and what the code structure is so one movie clip can in one class can tell the other movie clip in the other class to disappear while it's neighbour is playing. I'm happy to post code or explain / clarify anything that's not clear.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Movie Clip On Main Timeline Receiving Input From Nested Movie Clip

Feb 23, 2011

I've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Check Which Movie Clip Is On Stage?

Feb 13, 2009

I'm trying to create a slideshow, using Flash CS3 and AS3. I have 6 thumbnails with buttons attached to them, and then 6 movieclip images placed on the stage manually, each on a different layer. Inside of each image MC (i.e. image01_mc is the instance name of the first image), the image is animated to enlarge outwards from the thumbnail to make a larger version of the image. Standard operating procedures, and all that. So far, the buttons successfully call upon the frame label inside the imageClips to enlarge.

The next part of the problem is that when clicking the next thumbnailButton, I want the currently enlarged image to diminish in size back to its thumbnail, so that the next image can take its place. I have a frame label inside those imageClips to make that animation.

I think, with my rudimentary understanding of AS3, that I need to find out which movie clip instance is on the stage, using If statements, with some code to gotoAndPlay the frame inside the imageClips that shrinks the image.

I've tried various combinations of If, Else if, getChildByName, etc, that I've found in numerous posts, but nothing seems to work.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Find The X-y Coordinates Of The Attached Movie Clip Within The Created Movie Clip?

Q1) The registration point of a created clip is top left - my question is how can I dynamically change it's registration point - say to center center?

(I am trying to attach a movie clip to a created clip and I wanted it to be centered inside the container - a related sub-question, how can I find the x-y coordinates of the attached movie clip within the created movie clip?)

Q2)When I tried to create two different movie clips, I found I had to create them at different depths, else the first would load and the second would not. Why would that be so? I'm on MX 2004 Pro.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Actions On Movie Clip Inside Another Movie Clip (menu) Won't Work

May 15, 2009

I have a very simple problem but I can't find the very simple solution to it. I've create an animated menu with animated movie clips inside to work as buttons. All the main buttons work perfectely but I've got just on button with a sub-menu. On this sub-menu I've placed an invisible hitarea button in order to place some gotoAndStop action. The thing is, it seems to me like this submenu hitarea are underneath something else (even though is the seccond layers right about the actions layers). I've placed a simple trace action whenever the mouse rolls over this area but I get nothing... Am I doing something really wrong? I'm losing all my hair already.
