i've got a little actionscript that makes a shape follow my mouse about the screen. it works fine when i place it in a layer. however, when the code is in a mc and i place the mc in my layer, then i get no joy.i expect i need a line like tellTarget when using buttons within a mc to target places outside the mc?

Is it possible to copy the mouse movements, but rather than making a movieclip follow it exactly, to make up with the mouse move the movieclip up and left at a certain angle?
View 17 RepliesSo I'm designing a game for my flash class final, and I want to have my character spin based on mouse movements. So if I move the mouse to the left, character spins counterclockwise, to the right, clockwise. But I also need to have things spin with the character, like the gun he's holding. And if the gun shoots projectiles, how would I keep the direction of the projectiles constant with the character's direction? Also, I'm using wasd for walking, then the mouse for directional control, so how do I make it so W doesn't make the character go down in Y value, but it makes the character travel at a velocity in whatever direction it's facing (so if the character is facing like northeast, pressing W will make him walk northeast. Then pressing A facing the same direction would make him strafe northwest)?
View 1 RepliesIn ActionScript 3, I need to detect a sequence of movements made by the mouse when the button is down.I've read this question, and it seems a bit overkill. I only need to detect the 8 basic directions (up/down/left/right/diagonals), so that I can detect a "Z".

But as you can see it isnt smooth at all! Does anyone have any better code i can use?
This is the code i have written to do it:

var py = mouseY;

I am currently working on a interactive map that I am building in flash. I need to figure out if there is a way to code something so that we can have our map zoomed in, so it is only showing a section of the map in the veiwport at a time, but when the mouse reaches the edge of the screen I want it to automatically scroll with it, up, down, over, etc.

I am trying to do an example of collision in Action Script 3. It's a character that should stop when it hits a platform. It works well when I move only to the right, left, up or down directions, but if I try to move in the diagonals, if the characteris colliding with the platform, the object goes to a different area of the screen.
var level:Array = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < numChildren; i++) {
if (getChildAt(i) is Platform) {
level.push(getChildAt(i).getBounds(this));

View 5 RepliesI am working on an interactive guide with some sort of different maps that are supposed to move together depending on where you are if that makes any sense...well no it doesn't. ok the main clip pans side ways on mouse move using a tutorial from this website. And when this clip slides along x up to a certain point, I need to get two other clips to also slide to a precise point depending on the first one position, one only along x and the other one on both x and y. OF course i also have to set several key position on the mainclip to mave the two clip at a different place each time the main clip reaches a different point. For now I have been trying things using mc_tween2 like that:

I have a credits button for a game. I want it when clicked to bring together two movie clips called top and bottom, then go to a frame labeled 2. I tried this code but it just freezes:

i already made a working tooltip.now i want the tooltip to be dragged by the mousepointer movements....but the tooltip should always keep the same y-axis position....something like maybe:
Code:
startDrag("_root.tooltip", true);
y_mouse = 20;
I am working on a game in which I want a movie clip to move from one random location to another, with a pause in between each movement. I have written some code with thtutorials, but I can't get it to work the way I want it to. I am extremely new to ActionScript, so I'm probably doing everything wrong. Right now all my game does is pause for a certain amount of time, and then the object just jumps from one location to another extremely quickly and doesn't stop.

View 5 RepliesI have a map application that when I use the mouse wheel the map will scale up or scale down. The next thing I want to do is to focus on the mouse pointer while zooming on the part of the map.
I have this code...
function focusMousePosition(){ onMouseMove = function (){ Stage.width = _root._xmouse; Stage.height = _root._ymouse; updateAfterEvent(); }}
var mouseWheelListener = new Object();var wheelNum:Number;
mouseWheelListener.onMouseWheel = function(wheelNum){ focusMousePosition(); if (wheelNum > 0){ map._xscale *= 0.9; map._yscale *= 0.9; }else{ map._xscale *= 1.1; map._yscale *= 1.1; }}Mouse.addListener(mouseWheelListener);

If i try to catch Mouse.DOWN events on them the following way:
Code:
largeMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, largeClicked);
smallMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, smallClicked);
Then of course both event are captured no matter where i click.Is it possible to capture independent mouse clicks on both of these two movie clips and if so, how can i do that?

how can i give random movements for a movieclip on the stage.When i am trying this movieclip stopped after 3 or 4 movements.How can i do this
View 5 RepliesI have two different movieclips on my stage, one with a number of buttons and one with a moving object that I want to control with my buttons. The reason for having the buttons in their own movieclip is that I want to be able to move them as well. Let's say I have an object in "myMovieClip" that moves between three different positions when I press three different buttons, the buttons might say "up", "left" and "right".
[Code]....
How do I get my movements to start where it last stoped? If my object starts out at the "Up"-position and I press "Left", I want it to move from Up to Left and if I then press "Right" I want it to move from Left to Right. If my object is at Left and I press Left I want it to stay where it is.
can you suggest me a tutorial for handling sidebar cursor movements according to the menu sliding? I need to update the position of the cursor, depending on the menu sliding position.

I want to reduce the alpha of a movie clip when mouse is rollOver the movie , the alpha will be continuously reducing over frames, i dont want to use tween.
[Code]...
i this code when i rollOver the mouse on a movie clip, it shows the alpha reducing over time , and at roll out alpha increases over time. but if i rollOver and rollOut in fractions of seconds , it flickers (like 60-100 instead of from the current alpha lvl), So i am looking for some code that can help me in fixing this problem.
i'm kinda new to actionscript but im trying to find out how to realise a banner i am making.I have 1 big movieclip thats about 5x larger then what is shown, i have 4 movieclips each on each side of the movieclip, left, right, up and down.The idea is that when i hover on 1 of the movieclips the big movie clip moves that way until the mouse isn't hovering above it or when the movieclip reaches the end of the side.I have given a mouse listener event to each movieclip on the side, the trace works well, but i i don't know how to make the big movieclip move when i hover the side, i hope someone can give me some pointers on how to proceed.

I am pretty new to ActionScript 3 and Flash. I don't want my movie clip to play unless the person's mouse curser is on the movie clip for more than a second. 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?

Truly basic question I know but I can't seem to find an answer elsewhere and you don't even want to know how long I've spent on this.
