ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Test If The Mouse Is Over A Movie Clip?
May 16, 2009
I just wanted to know how to test if the mouse is over a movie clip.Like I want to keep printing "hello",if mouse is over a movie clip mc1.is it different for a button.
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?
I've been fighting this one for weeks - I've tried changing the Document Properties, Publish Settings, and even placing huge white boxes behind the clips I want to preview ... all to no avail! What gives?
Basically, whenever I'm inside a nested movie clip, and Test Scene (Control-Alt-Enter), the animation is centered in the upper left of the stage, so I can only see the bottom-right quarter of the animation - the rest is off-stage and not visible!
I need to test for the x position of a movie clip and if its in place a do something otherwise if its in position b do something else. Can you tell me how to test for this?
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);
My buttons only work when I click on them on the stage while having the "enable simple buttons" option on. They do not work if I try to "test movie," "test scene" and publish it to a SWF. Nothing responds whenever I am in these modes. I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript 2.0.
i have a movie that has worked fine in past during Html test but ive been doing some dubugging using the flash test latly and it runs fine here but when i go back and try to test in Html mode no errors come just the movie never fully starts (starts up about as much as if there was an error).
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.
Code:
stop(); import flash.events.MouseEvent; leftMove.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,move_left); function move_left(event_object:MouseEvent) {
I have two scenes in my flash file and in scene 1, first button takes you to frame 2 where movie clip is -works
on (release) { gotoAndStop("scene1",2); } second button takes you to frame 3
but on scene 2 that performs same function as scene 1, the first button
on(press){ gotoAndStop("scene2",2); }
instead of going to frame 2 goes to frame 3. and the second button goes correctly to frame 3.that happens when i test scene! when i test movie all buttons work properly.
I have a Movie Clip and Im trying to do a hit test on it but i want it to test when the second object touches th eactualy object in the movie clip, not just enters inside of the blue outline.
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. I'm trying to create a button that plays a movie clip and stops when it's moused over. I've attached a file (.fla) that illustrates my problem. I'm working in CS4 Flash (not sure if that's the same as MX04?
I have been trying to do something in Flash that I thought would be easy. I have created a movie clip with several frames and have tried to add a MouseOver MouseOut rollover to change from frame 1 to frame 2 whenever you roll over the movie clip. It doesn't work. It doesn't even seem to recognise any actionscript whatsoever within the flash file.If I change the movieclip to a button then suddenly everything does work as I want it to.
I want to rotate a movie clip with the mouse and I have this code:[code]Neither looks like what I want. The first image is okay until its rotated, and the second is blurry but looks better than the first when its rotating.So I have two questions.Is there a way to get better image quality when my image is rotating with out using a bitmap?Can some one give me a code example that changes the frame in the symbol based on the position of the cursor to the symbol?
how can I remove a movie clip on MOUSE OUT? What am I doing wrong here that is giving me this error?Error:ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild() at MethodInfo-14()out.Code Used:
i have a group of movie clips i want to know when certain movie clip is clisked
here is my code that does not work properly stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clicked)function clicked(e:Event){ switch(e.target) { case "myMc" : trace("hello world") break;}
I made spiral rotating line in 3D space animation using Flash CS4. I would like for my 3D spiral Movie clip to follow the mouse movements of a visitor.
My code works.....but....the spiral decreases in size and eventually disappears when moved to certain sections.
In short, what I am trying to do is to keep my spiral effect constantly the same size and movable on the screen.
how to prevent the mouse from moving over a movie clip, so that the movie clip in a sense has a boarder around it that stops the mouse from entering its area on the main stage.
I am trying to make a flash game for a website. In the game, there is a large interactive map which I created. The map is supposed to scroll just by moving the mouse.
As a placeholder for the map, an ex-coworker created a gradient background, which moves along with the mouse. Here is the AS.
// Width and height of image var w = Stage.width * 2; var h = Stage.height * 2; // Mock up graphic that will be the image
[Code].....
how to make the MC move and pan along with the mouse? Even if it is a completely different code?
Okay, so there is a movie on the timeline, and at the end of it there is an action frame that stops the movie so it doesn't loop.
However, the last frame on another layer is also a movie clip, of a rotating circle. This rotating circle has buttons on it that will load other parts of the site. I want the circle to stop rotating whenever someone puts their mouse over it.
I am trying to have a slingshot follow the mouse from a pivot point: that is, have it rotate from its registration point, not follow the mouse around the stage, or have 36o-degree rotation. The mouse will pass over an invisible button, which, on press, will go to and play an animation in a different scene, of a rock zooming to the target. This in turn will go to and play another animation in a different scene. I have a very basic understanding of Actionscript, and I am working in Flash MX (my school won't upgrade)
[URL]I want to replicate the movement of it-only the initial part where user moves his mouse and the whole screen moves. I need this part to replicate.
