I would like to scale a movie clip based on how close the mouse gets to it, but flash slows when there are a ton of these. I'm looking for a new method
onMouseMove = function(){
var dx:Number = this._x - _parent._xmouse;
var dy:Number = this._y - _parent._ymouse;

Is there a way to fade a movie clip out based on the proximity of the mouse? Basically if my mouse is greater than 100 pixels away from a movie clip, I want the movie clip to fade to 0 and stay invisible.
View 4 RepliesI am currently creating an explorable comic. The problem being the explorable part.Essentially I'm trying to scroll the "screen" in order to explore the comic, the comic being just one massive picture. To do this I figure I need to move the picture in relation to where the mouse is to a centre point, So the further away the mouse gets from the centre point the faster the image moves in the opposite direction.

View 1 RepliesCan I use actionscript to change the size of a displayed object based on 2 objects proximity?
As in the closer 2 objects get, the bigger another one gets?
I am trying to help my colleague figure out how to make a button act like the Mac buttons do. In other words, when your mouse gets closer to a button, they will steadily grow larger. He found a piece of code, so i put it in my FLA file, closed my eyes, then peeked and hoped it worked. It didn't.
I have attached the FLA to this message. If you remove the top portion of the code [the portion between the // lines], you will see the file works fine as the buttons will advance frames. But when i put the top piece of code back [the piece my colleague gave me] i get error messages.bottom line is - what we're trying to do is make those triangle buttons "grow" as the mouse moves closer to them [like Mac buttons do].
how to get something to happen according to the mouse's proximity to an object? like say i have a square & i want that square to get bigger the closer the mouse gets to it... how would one do that?
View 1 RepliesI have airplanes that are flying past the screen from a top down view. when the air planes crash, I scale them down to make it appear as if they are falling closer to the ground and farther away from the screen. I have turrets on these crafts as well. they are seperate objects from the air plan. I scale them down as well. The only problem is they dont reposition correctly. they stay in their x and y positions even though they are being scaled it looks as if they are being pulled away from the air plane. is it possible to reposition them correctly based on the size on the object they sit on (i.e. the air planes)
View 1 RepliesI've been banging my head trying to figure out how to get this to work with no success... I have a class that extends MovieClip which loads a large image into it. This image has a mask applied to it to only display a specific section of the image. I need to be able to scale this MovieClip based on it's visible width & height while maintaining it's proportions.
I'm currently using Collin Moocks' approach (see it here:[URL]) to get the visible width and height of the movieclip, but I can't figure out how to get it to scale correctly based on those dimensions... Preferably I'd like to be able to set it's visible scaleX & scaleY properties similar to how you currently set the scaleX & scaleY, (i.e. movieclip.visibleScaleX = 1.5).
I'm looking to create a rotating set of images, simulated to look 3D... that can rotate either left or right, reactive to someones mouse location.
The path of the images would look like a flat oval, and as the images came to the forefront, they would be at full scale, have the lowest position (high _y), have the highest depth (appear in front of everything else) and be dead center _x.
As they slide left or right, they would reduce everything by a relative 50% to the final shift (scale, _y, and depth) until they got to the end, moving in an upward arc following the oval path. When they got to the end, and kept rotating beyond (move in the opposite _x. but appear to follow the flow of the arc), continuing to decrease in scale, _y, and depth.
Is there a way to increase a movieclips scale as you hold down mouse_down?At the moment my movieclip only increases scale on mouse down on the extact center x & y point of the movieclip. I need it for userbility reasons to increase in scale when the user clicks on any area which is the movieclip.

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onStartDrag);
function onStartDrag(evt:MouseEvent):void {

View 9 RepliesI am basically trying to create a display object transformation manager which will allow me to scale/rotate objects. I am currently trying to figure out how to rotate an object so its corner follows the current x and y of the mouse. I always get confused on the math of things like this. I know how to listen for the events and everything, I just am unsure of how to calculate the amount of rotation to apply. I will probably be rotating via a Matrix so I can rotate the object around its center, rather than the upper-left corner of it. My question here is: how do I get values when I don't want them constrained, like scaleX and scaleY?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a zoom in and out effect, on images in a movieclip, using the mouse wheel. But, there is another mouse event that scrolls through the frames of the movie clip. I need it to stay zoomed in, and out respectively, when you scroll to the next frame.
View 0 RepliesI have attempted to make a movieclip scale in the y axis using _yscale but I can't seem to make it scale to the exact mouse co-ordinates.
Its within a rotating movie clip (controlled by the position of the mouse) and that works fine.
Here's the code I'm using at the moment.
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
var disty = this._y - this._ymouse
var dist = Math.sqrt(disty*disty)
this._xscale = 100 + dist;
}

i was trying to mess around with flash and I was hoping I would use TweenMax to scale up a rectangle (instantiated as rect) on mouse over, and then once it is scaled up I wanted to load an swf file to its center (the swf is called CircularPreloader.swf which is a fake preloader, just for messing around porpuse). Well, I tried but it didn't work cuz I kept getting this

There is an Image control that when I click on it I need to zoom in (using the center/transform point where the mouse is clicked). I have the zoom transition working great, but when I set transformX & tranformY (with autoCenterTransform false) it doesn't zoom into that point.
Here is my code that only zooms in (not to a specific point)

I 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 3 Repliesi'm trying to setup a scrolling list of products but without the use of a scrollbar. It would be really thankful if someone would assist me in getting attached fla integrated with mouse based scrolling. So if the user moves his mouse to the upper corner of the product list then it would scroll up and vice-versa.
View 1 RepliesSo I'm working on my portfolio and I got this problem. The code posted scrolls the sprite "cellContainer" based on the position of stage.mouseY. Perfect.Problem is that I want stage.mouseY to equal the entire cellContainer height. Kind of like how a small tablet equals a huge monitor. So when stage.mouseY = 0,cellContainer.y = 0 and when stage.mouseY = stage.stageHeight, cellContainer.y = stage.stageHeight - cellContainer.height. Right now, it scrolls, but it takes a while to scroll throught the entire height of cellContainer. I want it to be proportional to stage.mouseY.

View 4 RepliesSo I'm designing a game for my flash class final, and I want to have my character spin based on mouse movements. So if I move the mouse to the left, character spins counterclockwise, to the right, clockwise. But I also need to have things spin with the character, like the gun he's holding. And if the gun shoots projectiles, how would I keep the direction of the projectiles constant with the character's direction? Also, I'm using wasd for walking, then the mouse for directional control, so how do I make it so W doesn't make the character go down in Y value, but it makes the character travel at a velocity in whatever direction it's facing (so if the character is facing like northeast, pressing W will make him walk northeast. Then pressing A facing the same direction would make him strafe northwest)?
View 1 RepliesI tried my best to search the forum before posting, but if this issue has already been addressed, I apologise in advance. My goal is to create a movieclip that will scroll vertically based on mouse movement, rather than mouse position.I've found many tutorials on the yugop scrolling menu, but my problem with this menu is that the scrolling continues even when the mouse has stopped moving, if the mouse position is on either side of the stage.
