this is sort of a cross post (yes AND sorry), but I realized that it makes more sense to post it here than in FlashMX - so the moderators are welcome the first post. What I'm trying to do is gradually minimize an object, when dragged into a certain area. Let's say I have a box and when it is dragged away from the center it becomes gradually smaller.
View 11 Replieshow can i stop the object from dragging when the object was already dropped to its target =)
here is my code :

I have a number of tabs which can be dragged around the screen.. I've constrained the movement to a rectangle using startDrag(false, rectangleName) but when I ROLL_OUT or MOUSE_UP outside of the constrain rectangle the tab does not register it, thus defining itself a new startX and startY once clcked on a second time..
private function tabOver(event:MouseEvent):void { event.currentTarget.scaleX = 1.05; event.currentTarget.scaleY = 1.05;}private function tabClick(event:MouseEvent):void { event.currentTarget.scaleX = 1.05;

I need detect that one dragging object over another.
1 example: use hitTestObject like here link 2 example: compare coordinates of two objects.
Code:
function drag(e:MouseEvent):void {
trace(e.target.x);
e.updateAfterEvent();
}
I have an object on stage when the mouse is rolled over it the object will attach itself to the mouse (startDrag), the problem I'm having is that I still need the user to click on different objects while dragging that object but the onRelease function isn't registering.
Here's basically what I have
Code:
sucre = function():Void
{
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if( _root.packaging._currentframe >= 64 )

How to drag an object along a straight path using AS 3?
View 2 RepliesI have a project with Flash Professional CS5 and ActionScript 3.
I need to trigger an event when I drag an object over a particular spot, but haven't dropped it yet. Then, I need to trigger a different event when I leave that spot (still dragging). However, this should only occur while I am dragging on object.
The traditional mouse over and mouse leave events aren't working while dragging (only while not dragging).
I am trying to basically migrate this: [URL] to ActionScript 3.0 or some how achieve the same resizing effect.
View 5 RepliesWhat I would like to have happen, is when the user drags arrow_mc, it will only rotate between 0 and 90 degrees. If you go above 90 degrees, and continue dragging, it will stop moving. The same would happen if you went below 0 degrees.Currently, the code below works, but you can go around in circles back and forth.Iwith figuring out how to constrain the drag rotation between specifid numbers, in degrees.
ActionScript Code:
arrow_mc.onPress = function () {
arrow_mc.onMouseMove = function () {

my name is carrumbus I am a long time reader and first time poster and i have a problem I apologize in advance if this question to too simple and ridiculous for your brilliant minds It's very basic action script, but i cant figure out why it's not working
Basically, i have an empty stage, but for 2 objects a custom cursor (using the onclipevent mouse move, cursor hide, startdrag etc) and a movie clip of a little man (stick figure for now) all i want to do is, when i bring the cursor to the man and hold down on him, the cursor will goto frame 2, which will make it appear that the man i sitting on the cursor. at the same time the man symbol will be invisible and draggable. so that when i release the drag, the man will be put down somewhere else.

I am doing some pre-production on a project that requires drawing on a 3d canvas, which I think flash is the best way to go. But there is a chance down the line that this client might want the site to show up on the ipad, iphone or other mobile devices that don't support flash.
So I was playing with the idea of doing everything in html and javascript except for the actual drawing/3D area. Almost like using flash as the element. I think html5 is too premature to start using this, but might be beneficial down the line. Chances are I will just go the entire flash route, but I thought it would be interesting to try. question is pretty top level. 1) how hard would it be to drag an object from an html page using javascript, and dropping it into the flashplayer. And then manipulating it from there.
Are there any examples out there that have tried to do this?
I can drag an object from one scrollpane to another, but I can't duplicate the object or everything will fall apart as you see if you try to scroll up and down in my .fla.
What I want it to do in the end:
I want the box to create a bigger size of itself, drag the larger clone that it created from pane A into pane B and scrolling in the panes would work. I'd go with attachmovie to make a bigger clone, but I'm not sure on how to do that.
If anyone could create a .fla with these things in order I would be so happy!
I can't attach a rar or a .fla... I can't post a link either.. I'm going to bend the rules just a little to attach my .fla.. The link is: http : // www .filedropper . com /2panes1box
Is there a way to make the object that you are dragging land on only exaxt _x and _y? I have a object that is draggable with easing, but what happens is since i am using pixle fonts some times they are messed up is the person does not drag it to the exact pixle.
View 4 RepliesThis is one of the threads that was deleted. I've come up with the same problem: how do you go about dragging an object around a fixed point (rotation)?
I can do a normal drag & drop, but with this i don't even know where to start
I am having a small problem in regards to a click and drag interface I am trying to create.
The user should be able to drag objects around the stage and when desired click to preform an animation.
The problem is that the click to initiate the drag also initiates the click of the animation to play.
I don't really want to make one of the commands a double click as that may feel clunky to some users.
Is there any way to cancel the animation click if the user moves the mouse before letting go?
I currently have an dragable button that is locked to only move left and right within a small bar, and want to have that button playing one sound going left, and another sound going right.
View 3 RepliesI have a situation where I am allowing the user to drag a movieclip by means of startDrag and setting a rectangle. However while they are dragging this about, I want to register when the mouse moves over another object, however I can't seem to get this to work while they are dragging the object.
View 2 RepliesI need to have a color key that changes color in relation to how close/far the user drags a movie clip from the correct area. For example, if I have a circle_mc and want the user to drag it within a bounded area (trapezoid in this case), as the dragged mc gets closer to the correct area (a circle perhaps) the color of the color key box changes along a continuum from red (wrong/far) toward green (correct/close)

View 1 RepliesI want to make a fluid layout for the website I'm working on right now. I know the basic concepts of how to center an object and keep it there, or how to stick a shape to the top or bottom... etc. But if there's a movieclip that I would like it to conserve its position proportionally as the visitor resizes the stage, how can I do that?
View 3 RepliesI'm using CS3 with ActionScript 3.0. What I want is simple, and I've done some searching but nothing that can get me the right results.I'm going to post a link that does exactly what I want: http:[url]......This rotates the circular object around a center point in a way that you can distort the object yet is still remains turning in a circular motion. A simple motion tween rotating the image will only work if the object is perfectly round, so distorting the object to make it more straight or curved won't work with a simple tween. I want to do exactly what is happening here (with my own object), is there some AS3 behind the scenes here making this turn on a center point?

I have a situation where i have a horizontal scrolling container that has a video object inside it. the video object has to stay inside the scrolling content for another reason i don't want to get into here. Now the client wants me to keep the video in the center of the stage even when the clip its inside of is scrolling. Normally I would just take it out of the scrolling clip and place it above the scrolling content but i cant do that here. I tried this math but it didn't work exactly. on an enter frame when the video is open I have this code;

if( vid ) vid = ( stage.stageWidth/2 - vid.width/2) - scrollingContainer.x;

View 5 RepliesI am just getting back into using Flash after not using it for about 5 years. I'm having an issue with the simplest thing! I want to be able to type pixel values into the Properties panel to transform/resize an object from the OBJECT CENTER as reference point. If I use the transform tool, it uses the center of the object as the reference. However, if I do as above and type values into the Properties width/height, the object transforms with the top left corner as reference. If I need two or more objects sized exactly the same, or if I want to do a "zoom in" effect, using the transform tool is very ineffecient!
My object seems to be showing that the center is set as the reference point (white circle in center of object). Also, the objects I am working with are jpg's and psd's imported to the library, and made into movie clip symbols.
I have a TargetCirlce_mc which moves on "y" axis from top to bottom. And I have an arrow_mc which is on x:100 & y:200. How can I shoot an arrow exactly on the registration point of the TargetCircle_mc (automatically) while it is exactly opposite to the arrow_mc?
View 1 RepliesI have two MC's on the stage. One of them is standing still in one position, the second one is moving towards it. I want the moving mc stop right at the very centre of the first mc. I've tried using hitTestPoint, but I don't know how to set the proper parameters. If I put there just: mc1.hitTestPoint(mc2.width / 2, mc2.height / 2, true), the trace function I use doesn't seem to have even noticed the collision...

how to lock the mouse to the center of the drag object but instead of the center of the object moves towards the mouse its the mouse who's going to move towards the center of the object? This
PHP Code:
startDrag(this, true);
locks the mouse to the center but its kind of annoying to see the object jumping specially if the object is big.
