ActionScript 2.0 :: Make A Draggable And/or Clickable Curtain Rope?
Aug 9, 2005
I'm having a heck of a problem with the startDrag function in Flash right now. I'm trying to make a draggable and/or clickable curtain rope, which works now to a certain extent. When the user single clicks on the rope, it opens/closes itself. When a user clicks and drags the rope part of the way, it opens/closes itself the rest of the distance. A user can also click and drag the rope the whole way if they like. Everything does what it is supposed to when a user single clicks. If a user double clicks, the curtain is permanently draggable, which is obviously not what I'm going for.Variable used to determine whether the curtain goes up or down
i am searching for a rope that has something attached at the bottom and i can swing it around by dragging the rope from the top(not from the object attached). it might be a rope(more flexible) or just a rigid line, like a draggable from top pendulum.
i came across the box2d physics engines and erik hagreis' site made with menus that are suspended with ropes. but im still stuck, i dont know how to make the ropes draggable from the top(instead of from the bottom, as in erik's site). if anyone has a hint or an alternative solution to using physics engines, let me know. im out of searches, i searched the whole net...
I am searching for a rope that has something attached at the bottom and I can swing it around by dragging the rope from the top (not from the object attached).

I don't know how to make the ropes draggable from the top(instead of from the bottom).
I am developing and interactive CD application for kids that consists in a menu and two chapters with animations and exercises. To select the chapter I have an "Accordion" style menu with draggable panels. In each chapter panel I have a button which upon being clicked should direct me to the chapters first frame. The problem is it doesn't.
My client wants to display some videos which should appear behind a curtain. As the curtain is drawn back, the user should see the videos playing behind it. Right now my client wants 6 videos running on the screen side by side (not just the videos ready to play, but actually playing simultaneously). When I jump to the frame where those videos are, I see the curtain animating, but there's nothing behind it.
Only after about 40-60 seconds the videos start appearing. The client wants for the videos to be visible as the curtain opens, not have a gap of nothing while they load. Even is I uncheck the autoPlay option for the videos I get the big delay. Is there a way to preload all these videos before the curtain is drawn? The videos are 6 F4V files, each about 1.5MB. I'm using the FLVPlayback component (6 instances on the stage, one for each video).
I only started yesterday with no knowledge at all.How do you make draggable items? I looked around and I saw things about actionscript and all that but what do you do?
I have 4 buttons which i have to make them draggable. The problem is that i have 3 conditions
condition #1. Only 1 button/mclip is draggable in its axis [done].
condition #2 .The 4 button/mclip must be dragabble at the same time, that is, when i drag one, the others should drag at the same time in their own axis.
I just started making some simple banners for web sites. I got a new one to do this morning, and I was asked to make a button that says drag/pull here. as you drag/pull down, it reveals the layer below it. Also, as the button reaches halfway, it needs to go all the way automatically as well, so the users don't have to drag all the way down themselves. Is that something I need to do in actionscript
I'm just trying to simply make a movie clip draggable (it was all oh so easy in AS2!) I'm getting "1120- access of undefined property "waves_mc"). Yes, I have the clip named waves_mc.
I want to have a draggable input textbox on the stage (it will b placed ontop of an image of a tshirt).I want the user to be able to enter text and then move the textbox around to where they want it on the tshirt.I know how to make a movieclip draggable, I have been using this:
PHP Code: on (press) { startDrag(this, false, 240, 90, 290, 290) // target, lockcenter, t, l, b, r
Is this possible at all? I have tried to use the startDrag method for dynamic text field but I still can not drag it. If I converted the dynamic textField into MovieClip symbol then it becomes draggable. But I had to keep it as dynamic textField object because I am also applying formats defined in textFormat object to that textField. If it is converted to MC symbol, then I can no longer apply textFormat. Is there any solution. Basically I want to be able to drag and change its text format for given textField.
A client of mine has seen this elastic menu box effect and has asked me to see if I can loosely recreate it. elastic box menu Does anyone know how to A; create it? or B; create a draggable elastic box and I'll go from there!!
I have a game where the user inputs text and this text is shown on different scenes. I used the following code, where 'input1_txt' is the input text box and 'output1_txt' is the dynamic text box where it is displayed:
Code: textenter_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,textdisplay); var enteredText:String = "";
I want to make a "module" composed by an image and a text and make this clickable, how could I made this in AS? PS: to create the text I'm using the TextField(), what I have to use to make the image from a url?
I'm new to Flash (sort of - I used it a bit back in 1999-2000, but it's changed a LOT since then). I'm making an educational game for my company that involves dragging labels from a word-bank to their correct position on a diagram. I want the kids to be able to drag any one of the five labels and move them to any one of five marked positions on the diagram. I'm using Flash CS5 with Actionscript 3. I used code snippets, so that each individual label has the following code associated with it:
I have four points which all are dragable. I have a line beeing drawn between the points. Now I wonder if it is possible that when you are ready dragging the points and you have the rectangle you want, to stop dragging and move the whole rectangle. In some way make the drawen rectangle an object where you can get the height and width and coordinates. And move it. Can this be done?
Where do I can find an example or a tutorial of a realistic simulation of a rope tied between two points? I need to make something similar to the interface of Reason, the music app.
I was wondering if there was a way to stop a button from being clickable. Lets say the user has been idle on a site for 5 minutes. I want to flash movie to through up a translucent cover on the buttons and make the buttons not clickable.
I'm creating an xml generated gallery/menu, I have the gallery and menu populating fine but my issue arises when I try to make the menu items clickable.
This is inside my populate menu function _root["mainMenu"+[i]].onRelease = function() { trace(this); var splitThis:String = this var splitThisArray:Array = splitThis.split("Menu"); trace(splitThis) trace(splitThisArray[1]) };
Now the trace output I get is _level0.mainMenu1 _level0.mainMenu1 undefined
Although when I set splitThis to "_level0.mainMenu1" manually I get "1" or whatever number comes after "Menu".
I have dataGrid that is pulling data from an XML file. How do I make each data row clickable and load 1 of 3 SWF's (depending which you pick) onto the stage.[code]...
I have a small(220x123) Fla file with only one small FLV video file in it.Iwant to embed this video into an html and make it so that it acts likea button - when the user clicks, another html page is launched.Inside Flash I imported the FLV, I made an invisible button on a separatelayer (btn_cover_all) that covers the flv.On the Actions layer I putthe code below. After publishing and embedding the code into the html - the video plays and responds to mouse-over but the link doesn't work.How do I make this FLV act like a link or button that launches another html page?
Im have data retrieved from a API, there are hyperlinks within this data, so i want the hyperlinks to be 'clickable' I read up many ways of making a textfield clickable links but they all made you type in he specific link you want. I need it to be clickable if there is a link recieved from the data..
I'd like to create a bunch of objects which the viewer can move around and, at any time, click on some text [within that object] to go to an external URL. I can get objects to be moved around and can create URL request.I don't know how to combine the moveable object with an external link: for example, a black square with some white text - the whole thing can be moved and the white text is a link [to the web page].
I'm currently trying to make the contents of a window draggable and disabling the scrollbars on it.
This is the code i got to create the window and add the contents to the window. The window creates flawlessly and the contents gets loaded too but i can't get the contents to drag by clicking on the contents itself.
I want to make a draggable movie clip with an input text box in it. It's going to be a "Make your own comic" game, where you can type in the speach bubbles what you want the characters to say.
