View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a notepad - when you hold the mouse down you can draw like a pen and when you release the mouse it stops drawing. At the moment I can just get it to update after every click.

I am playing a movie clip onMouseDown event. There are total 10 movieclips in array. I want to disable onMouseDown event while movie is playing.PHP Code:
onMouseDown = roll2;
function roll2(){
shimArray = new Array("ani1", "ani2", "ani3","ani4","ani6", "ani7", "ani8","ani9","an

the code:
---
function react(menu_item, textFile){
if(menu_item.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)){
onMouseDown = function(){
[code]....
Goal: deactivate the "onMouseDown" listener after the mouse button is released.
Limitation: "OnPress" is not an option because it interferes with other code.
I'm creating an animated menu that I'd like to 'stow away' when the user clicks anywhere but the Menu button.I know this involves adding a mouse listener for an onMouseDown event, but I'm not sure what or how to define this...Is it possible to define an entire area (my site) minus a specific area (the menu button) for an onMouseDown event?
View 3 RepliesThe issue is that I am making something that has many buttons, and rather making a variable that has it turn true onMouseOver (when I go over an interface object, the variable wont let the click register), making clicking not register, and then register onMouseOut (when I leave the interface object, clicking is registerable) for every single button, I rather have it auto recognize if I am actually hitting the root object like shown in my attachment.
View 6 Repliesi need some help with my startDrag function, i have something like this right now:
ActionScript Code:
target_mc.my_thumbEvnt.onMouseDown = function() {
if (this.target.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
my_mc.startDrag(false, 0, 0, -my_mc._width+Stage.width, 0);
}

I've got this really weird problem. I have the following code:
[Code]....
The thing is, after I setup the onMouseDown, Anywhere I click on the screen run that function, not only the listMask movieclip! The movieclip is just a plain rectangle that was drawn by code, nothing special, no hidden graphics. Even if I don't draw anything in the movieclip, the whole screen is still clickable (as well as areas outside the screen, if we maximize the player window). This movieclip was created with .createEmptyMovieClip
I'm having problems with calling a function triggered by onMouseDown.
Code:
_root.myMC.onMouseDown = function() {
_root.x = _root._xmouse;
_root.y = _root._ymouse;
startDrawing(270,75,x,y);
}
The idea is that the function 'startDrawing' only has to execute when I click on the mc 'myMC' which contains a (filled) square, a sort of a drawingboard. However, it also executes when I click anywhere else in my movie.
I've got a very simple movie clip that is supposed to load an external .swf into an empty clip that gets created when you click on one of the clip instances on the stage.
[Code]....
The empty movie clip gets created (I assume), and the .swf gets loaded in, but when you click anywhere on the stage, this code gets executed, basically loading the .swf back in. It's only supposed to execute when you click on "about_mc" . What am I missing, besides a brain?
I am having problems with attaching multiple instances of the same mc, and tring to get an onMouseDown event for each of them.
The problem is that if I mousedown on one of the attached mc's, then all the attached mc's will trigger the onMouseDown event instead of only the one I clicked on.
the trace returns "onMouseDown called on 1" ...."n" instead of a single trace statement.
code:
function createSlideIcons(num){
var targetMC:MovieClip = this.form1.slideNav.slider;
var spacer = 5;

i have a:

_root.onMouseDown = function(){

How on earth do I use the onMouseDown event to remove objects generated by an array?
I'm still programming (if my bumbling can be called that ) the game I discussed in the 'Random Object Generation' thread and I'm using the basic framework of the array function that h88 gave me. Everything is working fabulously, but getting the things to disappear onMouseDown is a problem - it doesn't work.
Oh, and if I reference Target.prototype.onMouseDown and tell it it to this.unloadMovie, it unloads every single target on the screen instead of the one your mouse is actually over, making for a fairly... lame... game. I'm pretty sure it's because every single clip generated by the array is a Target prototype instance and so when the MouseDown occurrs, it unloads every Target movieClip. And I am using a hitTest in the Target.prototype.onMouseDown command, so that doesn't solve anything...
I have a CS3 scrollpane component with a movieclip loaded into it that the user can scroll up and down and side to side. In the movieclip I have a PNG and a drawing function that essentially lets the user drag and draw a yellow highlight box on the PNG. So onMouseDown the drawing function starts, onMouseMove the box size is set based on where the user puts the cursor and onMouseUp the box is actually drawn.
My problem is that if the user clicks on the scroll pane dragger bars (for lack of a better term) it draws a box where they clicked and dragged the scroll bar. how I could disable the onMouseDown if the user is interacting with the scrollpane?
I have tried setting X&Y conditions, but if they only work if the user is at the bottom right corner of the image. I also tried making an invisible button that would change a variable on rollOver and rollOut but that messed up my scrollpane somehow.
here is my drawing code if that helps at all:
PHP Code:
//
var myClipNames:Array = ["mc0", "mc1", "mc2", "mc3", "mc4", "mc5", "mc6", "mc10", "mc11", "mc12", "mc13", "mc14", "mc15"];
var i = 0;
[Code].....
Is there a way to make the onMouseDown function also work within the MovieClips area in this code example? It seems like the two functions are conflicting.
attachMovie("nutrition","nutrition",4,{_x:715, _y:370});
nutrition.gotoAndPlay();
nutrition.onPress = function():Void{

I've written a lot of code, and I have a ton of onMouseDown clipEvents, but now I want to user just to be able to mouse over instead of clicking. Is there any code that will automatically activate all onMouseDown functions in your program?
View 7 RepliesHave you ever noticed that problems arise when you use movie clips as buttons, script their functions with AS and then, rather than simply clicking on one of them, you click and hold down. The main problem is that rollOut animations are not played.
For example lets say you have 2 buttons next to each other and you click one and hold down on your mouse, then move to the next button, you'll see that both buttons now display the rollOver state.
Is there any way around this? I test this on almost every flash site I visit and only a small few seem to be able to get around it. Usually I don't mind so much because users will rarely click and hold imo, but for the site I am building at the moment I really want to finally know how to get around it. I've noticed it does the same thing no matter what event handler I use.
I'm having some troubles with the use of interface and inheritance in AS3. I've done lots of OOP in the past and what I'm trying to do seems obvious to me, but doesn't work in AS3. The question is : Is it possible to override a function that return an Object of class A, and make it return an Object of Class B which extends A ? It seems not to be possible, since I'm getting a signature error in Flash, when compiling. For example, the following set of class do not compile (the code in function definition doesn't matter):
