How do you make a mouse hide after it's been inactive (say for 3 seconds), then appear again once it's active? I know Mouse.hide(); but I don't know how to check for mouse activity to tell it to run that code, or to tell it to show it again once it's moved.

View 1 RepliesI am using AS 3 Flash CS4, WIndows XP SP3. I am unable to use the Mouse.hide(); method in many of my scripts. If I add Mouse.hide() to a preexisting script, I get the following error; line1 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method hide through a reference with static type Class. If I add Mouse.hide():void; to a preexisting script, I get the following error: line1 Label must be a simple identifier Once this has happened, if I then remove ALL lines of script from the file...but leave the Mouse.hide(); [or Mouse.hide():void;], and also remove all objects from the stage, when I run the file, I still get those same errors.

I have made custom mouse cursor (movie clip) everything works fine, default cursor is hidden, mc is following pointer, problem is- when flash is inactive custom cursor hangs in upper left corner of flash, I want to make it dissapear untill the moment you enter flash file. That would work like this: I am opening my web page, flash is loaded but custom cursor is hidden, I am moving my mouse into zone of flash -custom cursor appears on screen and follows mouse pointer.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to put together some games for my students to help them with their English. I want to be able to detect how long they spend on each game and so I want the clock to stop if the mouse is inactive for 45 seconds and then restart when they begin moving the mouse again. This is so the parents can see how long their kids' have been studying and not just how long the game has been running.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a presentation to be presented on a Trade Show. It have an inicial movie, running in loop, but with a Menu bar, so people could stop the movie and go to a product catalogue. I want that when people stop looking the catalogue and go away, the presentation go (after a few minutes) to the initial movie loop again.
View 4 RepliesIn my project I have a dynamic text box. You enter you name in the text box and then click the submit button. This then takes your name and puts in on another slide. The only problem is that you can skip this by entering nothing in the text box, then the other dynamic text box calls you "undefined". I was just wondering if there was a way to make the button inactive until the text box has some text in it. I have tried if statements but nothing seems to work.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on building a demo for a product at work. I'm working in Flash and want to make a few of the features inactive. I want to do so by having certain buttons "grayed-out" or dimmed. The point being that the viewer can still see that the feature exists, but they cannot click on it because it's only a demo.

I dont know if it is possible, but I need to disable reaction on mouse.

Im looking for a quick solution (if its out there) using the autohide feature using the FLV Playback Component.
Current situation: Using ActionScript 2. The FLV component fills the stage. Autohide is set to true.
It looks to me that since the video fills the stage, the skin will not hide. What I would like to do is have the skin fade out if the mouse doesnt move for a certain period of time.
i am using this on Mc
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
diffx = _root._xmouse - this._x ;

I've got an infographic I'm working on, and every time I roll over an image (a ring) the alpha goes up to 100, then I roll out and it goes back to 50. That much I'm good with.
Then, I click on each one of them, and a movie clip (built inside of each ring/button) pops up and plays. Fair enough.
I've got a script (ugly, but it works!) that will hide all other buttons while this movie clip is playing. But, when I click to close it, I can't figure out a way to make them reappear. I tried putting visible = true again for all of them, but no dice.
The actionscript for it is right below.
I'm not sure if there's anything I can do to make it modal in AS3 or something like that. Or should I go ahead and set it up in a parent/child kind of way (not too well-versed in that regard.
All the buttons to click on are in the same layer and I'm not sure if making them different layers in Flash would make any difference.
stop();
ring1926.movie1926.visible = false;
// add a rollover to make the inside movieclip appear

Ive been working on a script for a video player in which after a 7.5 second timeout and no movement from the mouse, the cursor would be hidden using Mouse.hide(). Also when the mouse was moved, the cursor would be shown using Mouse.show(). If needed I can show the script that did not work
View 4 RepliesI really enjoy flashing (I just do it for fun) but I'm very slow (read:dumb) when it comes to scripting.
Currently I want to create a site where in a region (the green textblock) your cursor disappears, gets replaced by an ecliptic mask and instead of the normal textblock, you see another textblock (red in the picture above) with hopefully hilarious changes to the original text with said mask when I'm done. When you move outside of the textblock(picture, whatever) to hit the link at the end of the page, your mousecursor reverts to the one you always have and is not hidden and replaced by the mask anymore.
I got the two textblocks done, it works fine. But for the life of me i don't know how to code that the mouse cursor is ONLY hidden in the region where the text is and not everywhere.
My script looks like this so far:
_root.maskee.setMask(_root.glass.masker);startDrag (glass, true);
Mouse.hide();
I have an air app with a Mouse.hide() that is not working on the mac, but in an odd way. It has the latest AIR runtime as of the other day and I am publishing to AIR 2.0 from Flash Pro CS5. I'm making it from windows where it works fine, but the show computer is a mac mini. I am calling Mouse.hide on the Document class in the ADDED_TO_STAGE handler (right before going FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE), as well as 2 seconds after ADDED_TO_STAGE via a timer.
Here's the thing. If you launch the air app from the dock in osx, it works every time. However, if you launch the app from a finder window, the Mouse.hide() does not work! It also doesn't work when the app is set to run at login, as this is a trade show display setup just to run this app. It is also worth noting that in this case, the app still does have keyboard focus as the keyboard events are registering properly.

I want to show/hide a symbol (movie clip) when i mouse over/out another symbol (button) and also want to move the movie clip as motion of mouse by attaching to the mouse... for this.. i think i have to use startDrag action but i am confused how.
if i use action on button like:
on (rollOver) {
startDrag("abc");
}
on (rollOut) {
stop();
}
where "abc" is instance name of movie clip it will do the work but it doesnt give effect of appearing and dissapearing the movie clip when i mouse over the button.
i couldn't stay away from Flash for more than 3 hours lol.
I have weird problemo that involves mouse.hide and show. I have a button with this as on it,
Code:
on(rollOver) {
Mouse.hide();
}

It works fine when it's previewd alone. But when i have my main,shell, movie load this movie that contains the button, it doesnt work at all. Am i supposed to use _parent somewhere?
Is there a way to hide the right mouse click pop-up (settings & about flashplayer x). The swf i use is placed in HTML refering to two other pages with some java games. The problem is that this is running at a science center in a browser fullscreen. But people may not open a new window/tab (this happens when you click on "about flashplayer x). I found this: [URL] but is there something similar in AS2? I can use JS.

View 14 RepliesI have a menu inside flash. It's a drop down menu and it only shows options when it is hovered over with the mouse.
[Code]...
On the menu I want to have normal buttons but the problems is when I move the mouse over the buttons (Which are ontop of the menu) it thinks I want to hide the menu.
Sometimes it's necessary in a Flash project to prevent the user from being able to click on a button at certain times during the presentation. I'll typically add an "invisible" button on top of the button (no graphics in the button except for the hit zone), which does the trick nicely BUT...The cursor, of course, turns into a hand icon, making the user think it's still a clickable button.Is there a way to prevent the cursor from changing from an arrow into a hand icon?Or, is there a better way to make buttons "unclickable" at times?
