Does anyone know how to set boundaries on a slow chase mouse follower. Attached is the fla im trying to set boundries to. The ball should not go past the red lines.
I have used the following code:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_y = 0;
speed = 5;

I made two movie clips that follows the mouse but I want to put constraints on them, they should follow the mouse until the mouse reaches a curtain distance and then the movie clip should pop back to its original x and y position.Code: Select allprivate function init():void[code]......
View 1 Replieshave created this really cool mouse follower that changes colors, I 've done this in AS3 and now I'm at a total loss as to how to get it to work with my website.
View 11 RepliesI have succesfully achieved a mouse follower using the following code, [code]the part I need to understand how to change is:I want to offset the MC in relation to the mouse pointer,probably by assigning variables, not sure though.

View 3 RepliesI've got a simple function that makes a movieclip drift over to wherever the mouse is..
It's a nicer effect than just making the mc._x and mc._y = _root._xmouse and _ymouse.. The problem I'm having is that if the mouse is in the top corner of the screen when the movie clip loads, the mc zips off to that corner too. I want the mc to stay in the middle of the screen when it loads and to move in the direction of the mouse when the mouse moves.. The mc still needs to be able to be moveable accross the entire width of the screen however.
I have tried storing the _xmouse value at the time the movieclip loads, and then offsetting my function with this value - which has the desired effect, but prevents the mc from being able to be moved all the way to the edge of the screen.. Hope that makes sense - Has anyone got any solution to this?

that scales the inside clip properly but i cant get the outer part of the "tv screen" to work
I can't find any info on this so I guess I'll just ask. I'm trying to make moveclips that will follow the mouse pointer on MOUSE_OVER but only up to a certain distance then tween back to its original coordinates (preferably with a bounce or elastic ease).I tried startDrag(); on mouse over and that works quit cool but the problem is stopping the drag...
View 5 RepliesNot sure how to explain this, but I have a horizontal menu, and a small image above it that follows the mouse, within it's set boundaries. The only thing I have trouble with is getting it to stop right above the button when it's clicked, and wait for the user to move over the navigation menu again before it starts following the mouse... So, when a user clicks on a button, the image should stick there. I had the idea to have a transparent area above the nav that would detect for the mouse? Because right now, your mouse can be anywhere on the page, and this image scrolls right or left. How to set that up?
Here is the code I have on my image mc (called 'niteLite')... it's in the root (my navigation is in another mc though - couldn't get the mouse follower to work right within another mc, unfortunately)... On niteLite (image mc)
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 347;
_y = 497;
speed = 2;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

I'm stuck trying to define the y mouse position inside a mask.How does one set boundaries in which to find a mouse position?
View 1 RepliesSo this one is a tricky one (for me) vital to the development of my project due to the fact that we can't directly modify the position of mouseX and mouseY - they are read-only variables. Basically, what I want to do is have a player able to move their mouse only within a certain triangular area when a specific instance is active. The latter bit I can manage just fine, however I am having trouble restricting mouse movement -- or apparent mouse movement.
Here's what I have done so far:
1. Assign a library moveclip to the mouseX and mouseY position in the Event.ENTER_FRAME event - although I acknowledge that this should be moved to Mouse.MOUSE_MOVE. (this does not matter yet)
2. Using Corey O'Neils Collision detection kit, do a hit test on the border instances of the area with the crosshair/cursor.
3. Offset the cursor appropriately, and then set a standard Boolean value to false so that the cursor will not keep bouncing back into the cursor over and over.
My problem is, I am not sure what the best way is to go about allowing mouse movement again. For what it's worth, this is to stop users from aiming in an unrealistic direction with a character in a top-down (ish) shooter.
Here is my code regarding mouse movement thus far:
import flash.ui.Mouse;
import flash.events.event
import com.coreyoneil.collision.CollisionList;
Mouse.hide();
var c:crosshair = new crosshair();
addchild(c);
var myCollisionList:CollisionList;
myCollisionList = new CollisionList(c);

I'm using the code 'rotate towards the mouse' from [URL].. It works fine to rotate the clip, but there's two things I'd like to have happen here: 1. At a certain angle of rotation, the MC that is following the mouse reflects horizontally. example: a profile of a head is following the mouse. i don't want the head to be upside down when the mouse reaches the back of the head, but rather the head flips over to watch the mouse.
2. Boundaries: is there some way to set up the code so that the MC stops following the mouse when it reaches a certain position on the Y-axis?

I'm using Flash MX or MX 2k4, whichever is more convenient for this project.
How would you force a mouse follow movieclip to snap to a x y position if it reaches x y boundaries or perhaps if a button is released the movie clip snaps to a x y position? Of course if the mouse returns to x y boundaries I'd like for the movie clip to follow again.
Right now this is the code I'm using to make the movieclip follow the mouse within x y boundaries:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;

I'm trying to make a 3rd person chase game. An issue I'm coming across that I would like to get some advice on is the AS I'm using for the walls.First off, here's the code for the character:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
_root.blue_xaccel=_root.blue_xaccel-1;
[code]....
The whole idea behind this is to create a sort of acceleration. Now, when the player hits a wall, it's supposed to stop him.
Wall code:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
if(this.hitTest(_root.blueguy))
[code]....
Now, the code does what it's supposed to. This is a left wall. It stops the guy, and even pushes him back to the right. However, if the guy has some acceleration going toward to wall, he can go through it a bit.Example: The character is traveling at 8 pixels, but only three pixels away from the wall. In the next frame, he will move 8 pixels, and be 5 frames into the wall.
I am experiencing no scrolling below a certain scroll velocity on both mouse and trackpad on my Macbook in Safari 4.I have the mouse wheel events working on my mac through the javascript bridge from http:[url]..... I also have normalized the delta in my actionscript to be -2 if below 0, and +2 if above 0. Testing the delta on the javascript side, the mouse wheel at the slowest I can scroll it reads well above or below 0, and the trackpad reads around .025 to -.025... so I'm wondering why is it that Safari doesn't see this until higher speeds?Scrolling works, I just have to give the wheel some speed before it kicks in. It works perfectly in Firefox.

I have ghost sprites in a haunted house which roam at random. If the player comes within a certain distance, they pursue him. Right now the ghosts jump in the direction of their target in 15 pixel increments based on the difference between ghost.x/y & pc.x/y.Is there an elegant way to have the ghost sprite drift towards player's sprite?
View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip that scrolls side to side when you rollover it but when the mouse is off it continues to scroll - I need the movieclip to slow to a stop when the mouse rolls of the movieclip. I've have been playing arounds with the hitest code (red) but this does not fix it... Its prolly a simple problem - I am not much of a coder....

I have a mask that follows my mouse around the screen on the x axis only... What I want is to only allow the "follower" to go to a certain point on the right and the left... in other words, I don't want the follower to be able to go off/out of the stage.

i am looking to make something like this for my page.[URL].. i can do all the vid work etc.. the thing im stumped on is how can they resize the working area it uses eg.. where the presenter comes up.. because to start with the swf looks like its only tiny little play start stop thing then it loads the clip outside of those boundaries?
View 1 RepliesWhat i am trying to do is move a MC around by dragging it, but i dont want the MC to move so far that it could be lost on the stage. i need some sort of parameters so that the MC is always showing. basically i have a large map of the united states and i want to be able to move it around and look at the individual states. the map is much larger than the stage and i am using a mask to clean up the appearance. i just want to make sure that the user cant move the map so far in one direction that it gets lost.

View 1 RepliesI have been working with some code back and forth but am pretty much stuck now! I have four movie clips of different colored cars - two on the left side off the stage, and two on the right side off the stage. The clips move across the stage to the right and the left respectively. I have all the elements that I needed to get working, but now I am stuck because the animation only plays one time. I need it to play over and over again, never stopping. I tried to "reset" the _x boundary for each movie clip since they are in different starting locations, but have not been successful. Below is my code and I also attached a screen shot of how the clips are positioned so you can see how they will cross the screen.
Code:
var loop:Number = 0;
var messageTxt:TextField;
var mc_name:String;
function time():Void {

I have a pointer that follows the mouse movement only in determined angles. lets say the pointer can only follow the mouse when the mouse is moving below the pointer. (it rotates perfectly and smoothly to the left and right) but the thing is, lets say that the mouse is now above the pointer to the right, the pointer stays to the last permited right/down angle BUT if i go down with the mouse from the left, the pointer obviously will jump from facing right/down to facing left/down...what i would like is the pointer to make a nice transition/rotation to the inverse side...just what it does when moving the mouse from left to right, right to left (having the mouse below the pointer).

I am trying to create a movieClip that will always stay on a track. You get me, or have a lost you?Picture the London underground map, I want a little circle that will follow the track BUT also follow my cursor.So if I drag the circle to the right it will go to the right but always stay on track even if there are slopes or corners in the track.
View 3 Repliesi've been trying to solve this for an hour now and I have to resort to a forum post. I don't understand why this isn't working.I have two background images that scroll up,right,left and down with arrow keys. They also scroll to the left while no arrow keys are being used.What I want is the background images to reach a boundary, so the player never leaves the background image and sees the stage.My background image x,y coordinates by default are: x(223.0), y(272.4)Just to see if my condition works, I have it move the wisp(player). However, even in the debug screen when it shows the Y coordinate of backround image go below 170, it never moves the wisp.

I have placed an image within a movieclip that I would like to zoom in on when the mouse passes over it. The zoom on the cursor is working, but the mouse remains a magnifying glass even after it rolls off of the zoomable image. I have tried putting the image and zoom code inside an swf and loading in it into a container via loadmovie, but the same problem with the cursor occurs.
