i have a fish that follows the mouse position. Im working out the angle and distance it is from the mouse cursor and telling it to swim in that direction. But when he gets there he flickers back and forwards. How can i get him to rest/settle at the position until the mouse is moved again.

im using MX 2004 although i do have Flash 9 atm if anyone has an example in that
Anyway, im trying to slow down and speed up an orbit of an mc relative to where the mouse position is. So basically i need some sort of radial "field" where when the mouse gets close to the outside of the orbit the movie clip stops and when it is farther away the movie clip speeds up.

I am replacing the mouse pointer with a custom graphic in an .swf that takes up part of a web page (.swf stage is about 350px wide, total layout is about 1000px). My code is all working fine, except that, if you move the mouse fairly quickly -- as you might do to get from a point on the .swf to the opposite side of a large monitor -- the .swf loses track of the mouse, and thinks that the ._xmouse/._ymouse values are still the same as the last point that that Flash saw the mouse, which is usually somewhere in the middle of the stage, thus "orphaning" the custom cursor. If I have a setInterval or something tracing the mouse position, the .swf still thinks that the mouse is sitting on top of it, even though the cursor is actually far away somewhere else. hitTest also still returns true as though the mouse was there (as you might expect, given that it's based on _xmouse/_ymouse).
The workaround/hack I have going now is that, once the pointer switches over to the custom cursor, it starts a setInterval, and then if the mouse appears not to move for a few seconds, it reverts back to the default cursor (i.e., Mouse.show). Obviously, this is not optimal, because that means that the custom cursor disappears if you don't move the mouse for a second or two, and it doesn't really solve the problem anyway because it still looks like the custom cursor gets stuck for a second when you move too fast.

Is it possible to draw motion guide/path for a mouse position based movement?
For example if I have path the is like letter H. I would need to write many clauses/conditions for the borders of the movement. It would be a LOT easier if there would be some solution that makes the object always to stay on the defined path when moving..
I have a very simple piece of code but it has one very annoying bug. When I press the button a second time, the code doesn't work. The only way to get the code to work is by moving the mouse a tiny bit, or moving the mouse off the button and back on. make a button that can be clicked many times without moving the mouse?

View 2 RepliesI have a list of collapsible move clips. When any of the clips is closed or opened the rest or the clips in the list react by changing position. I had this running with and on enter frame event. But that was a memory hog when too many items were in the list. So what I want to do is this. When any clip is closed or opened it triggers this function
Code:
function resetY() {
for (var i = order; i>=many; i++) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
_y = previousitem._y+previousitem.box._height;
roundB4me = Math.ceil(previousitem._y+previousitem.box._height);

I have a video clip which I initially set a size and location to. I then re-size the clip and move it when a button has been pressed.

View 0 RepliesI have made an animation consisting of 7 different MC's - each accessed by a hidden button. When I play the individual swf files, with sounds, they work fine. When I place them on the main timeline and export the swf, as soon as I click on any of the buttons, ALL the music/sounds play no matter what MC I'm playing. It is a cacophony of sound that I need to fix before 10th August - when I need to hand the project into University for marking.

View 3 RepliesIs there any way to detect when the mouse has moved upwards or downwards?
I currently have a mouse listener with an onMouseMove function that uses the _ymouse to detect any movement within a restricted distance.
But I want the mouse to detect up and down movements in any distance.
Is it possible to persist the look of a 'hovered' hyperlink even after the mouse has moved away from it? I want to keep the user's attention on the hyperlink -- or at least have them able to see what it was, standing out from the rest of the text -- for a few seconds after they've left it. Ideally it would fade slowly back to normal
View 1 RepliesI have a simple flight simulator animation. When the mouse is moved over a movieclip (mcHitArea) on the stage the code below moves 2 indicator lines as well as 2 jet images and the background. The problem is that when the mouse runs off, say, the left side of mcHitArea, that mouse location is recorded. Then if the mouse is brought back in from the other side of mcHitArea the images are rotated way off course. These images never come back to center.

I'm basically looking to create a screensaver within the flash file i'm using.

I would like to make a portion of a site that is stimulated from the mouse being moved. So, as the user moves their mouse I want the timeline to change (for an image will load on each new timeline). So, it will be kind of like a flip book that is activated by the mouse moving. Hopefully that makes sense. Each scene a person will be moving (new picture in a new frame) as the mouse moves up or down.

I added a Menu_mc on my stage. Initially, this should be at the center of the stage and when I click on it, it will tween on the upper left corner of the browser. However, when I resize the browser, the Menu_mc goes back to the center of the screen.
I have tried separating a different actionscript file where it is specifically for initialization of the object and another one for resizing. And then when I call it on my main AS file it goes like this:
Code:
// Add the symbols to stage
var Menu_mc = new Menu_MC();
addChild(Menu_mc);

I'm animating a torn sack that will deflate as the beans inside of it spill out and pile on the ground. The sack I'm animating frame-by-frame, so the problem is the beans-- I can't imagine animating them one by one, but I know nothing about actionscript and the few tutorials I've found online don't address what I need to do; worse, they seem hopelessly complex.

Basically the x position of the mouse should control the play position of a movie. Do I need something like an event handler (I'm not sure exactly what these do, but I've seen similar scripts that seem to use them).

I 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);
can someone explain the logic of circular motion (them radians and degrees). I've found the code for it and modified it a bit to make it do what I want. But I haven't a clue as to how it works.. This is a slightly modified code taken from the Kirupa Tutorial.

Code:
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL,mouseWheel);
function mouseWheel(event:MouseEvent) {
Map.scaleX = Map.scaleX + event.delta*.01;
Map.scaleY = Map.scaleX;
}
The problem with this code is that it scales from the registration point (0,0). Due to the other transformations I'm doing to this image at various times, it isn't possible to move the registration point. The image is larger than the stage and the user is able to drag it around. I want the mouse wheel to zoom in on the place the mouse is hovering over (or at a minimum...the center of the "view" they have...aka the stage)I tried doing this:
Code:
internalPoint = new Point(Map.mouseX, Map.mouseY);
externalPoint = new Point(stage.mouseX, stage.mouseY);
var matrix:Matrix = Map.transform.matrix;
[code]....
Which, incidentally, I'm using that whole portion of code to zoom into the state they will be in when they use the mouse wheel.
