ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting Boundaries For Dragging Movie Clip?
Jul 2, 2009
I have created this swf that allows me to drag my movie clip around with easing effects.However, if I drag it too fast, my movie clip will actually goes out of my "flash".PS: I actually got this script from a user in this forum. Sorry about that. Hence, i left the credits there.)Is there anyway where I can set the boundaries where the movie clip can be dragged to? I've came across a website where the effect of dragging within a specific area is exactly what I desired.Also, I'm using AS2 and here it is.

how to imitate a reflection of a movie clip in a "mirror." I don't know if I should have the initial movie clip on custom cursor or have it set to drag... but either way I don't know how to make the second clip the "reflection follow along. Obviously it would need to follow at a slightly offset pattern so that you would be able to see both clips (or majority of them) at the same time. It's for a school project that is due at 9am tomorrow so time is of the essence!!

I am new to action script (using AS2). I have a symbol (a button that looks like an arrowhead). I've used the code below to drag the arrowhead around the stage (where "arrow" is the symbol's instance on the stage)
But, I want the "arrowhead" to only be able to be dragged along a particular path -- picture a curved line that looks like a smile. SO, the user can only drag the symbol along that curved path.

what im doing is the user drags the lego piece from the tray and drops it on the red square and the next piece arrives to do that again and again. The issue is that sometimes it screws up and doesnt go to the next step or goes backwards in steps like its hitting invisible pieces. heres a link to the project in action on my [url]......
The code I am using to drag and drop is attached in a text file to check out if needed.

I created a button that duplicates a movie clip, I want the user to be able to drag the duplicated movie clip. Right now, it duplicates the movie clip but when I try to drag it, it moves the first movie clip (the one being duplicated) instead of the one which was duplicated.

i've built a little game, where the user can drag and drop objects on a canvas. there's a button wheren the canvas turns black, and the objetcs (images) become white, like a photographic image. What I'm trying to do without sucess until now, it to make the draggable objects infinit, so the user can drag as many objects as he can.

I am attempting to create a map that has the ability to zoom in and out as well as a click and drag feature.What I need help on is setting boundaries for the map. I can set them for the map when it is zoomed out, but they need to change as the map zooms in. I've been searching lots of forums lately to see if anyone can help, but no luck yet...

I'm working up a flash file that will eventually be controlled by the Kinect. So I've hidden the mouse and put a startDrag on a custom cursor. The problem is that I can't get a reliable result for a hover/over state when the cursor is over a movieclip. It only registers the over state sometimes and when it does, it's very brief, even if you hold the cursor over it for a long time.The problem seems to have something to do with the drag or the enter frame listener. It's like it can't process fast enough to realize when it's over the buttons.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
import GlobalClass;

I was wondering what the best way is to play a movie clip while dragging a button inside a separate movie clip. Example: I'm creating a children's book in Flash form. Some childrens' books have movement using a pull tab on the side of the page. I have created two things for one of these pages:
A) The pull tab movie clip consisting of a button inside of it. Its code is as follows:
on (press) {
startDrag(toggleDrag2,false,596.5,118.0,666.5,118. 0);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
}
This way (and it works), the pull tab cannot be dragged along the y axis, and its movement along the x axis is restricted.
B) A movie clip with a symbol in it that has a motion tween, 75 frames, a stop action and key frame on each of the 75 frames.

We all know how to drag a movie clip: my_mc.startDrag(target,[lock, left, top, right, bottom]) But does anyone know how to drag/restrict a movie clip to a 45 degree angle?

I have a movie clip that can only move to certain parts in the stage. For this I used another movie clip that supposedly should constitue the rectangle constraint. But this doesn't seem to work !startDrag(this,true,bounds._x,bounds._y,bounds._x+ bounds._width,bounds._y+bounds._height);

does anybody know a way to use a the mouse to move a movie clip in one frame without dragging? what i'm shooting for is moving a map in the opposite direction of the mouse (mouse moves left, map moves right, mouse moves up, map moves down) and continues to move. not just one jump, but real motion. i've thought of initializing a getTimer after the mouse moves past a certain point and of moving the map after the mouse rolls over a hidden mc.i have only one stopped frame to do it in. it must be action script....

I'm a noob on this forum & pretty desperate now. I've been on a research & trial&error odyssey for days now, but this problem remains unsolved. I am creating a game with an mc (say "target_mc") randomly moving around. Everything is working beautifully, except for one thing: My stage was initially 900x600 and the game took up all of that space. target_mc's movement was accordingly set for a width of 900 and height of 600.
I have now resized the stage height to 958 with the game (still 900x600) being centered vertically. The top border is now at 170.8 (y). The bottom y border is at 770.8. But target_mc still thinks the top border is at 0. As a result, it is still covering the same area as before, hence floating off the actual game area into the stage margin area between 0 and 170.8. As I have other frames following which require my new and larger stage size, going back to the original 900x600 is not an option.
I have tried and tried but not managed to tell target_mc to keep its random movement within <=170.8 and >=770.8. I have tried all variations of "if statements" and other tricks at my disposal. And since I'm not an expert, I'm at my wit's end. Everywhere I looked, the solutions offered were for draggable objects or cursor movements, but not for movieclips moving randomly as soon as the frame is loaded. My script & codes are very, very elaborate and there is a lot happening on the stage, so a mask is not an option for me. Surely there's got to be a way to set variables and commands in the script...? I just don't know which to go for...
Do I work with some kind of math involving the total stage height of 958? I have tried setting variables for xMin, xMax, yMin, yMax, but must have done something wrong in implementing them in the rest of the random motion code cos nothing worked.

I'm moving this little red box along the x axis. It just moves w/ the mouse but it moves off the movie clip area, I want to be able to set the left and right boundaries.
Heres my code.
mc_movingBox.onEnterFrame = function() {
var xMouse = _root._xmouse;
if(Math.abs(xMouse - this._x) < 1) {
this._x = xMouse;
} else {
this._x -= (this._x-xMouse) / 6;
}}

I used Kirupa's drawing board tutorial, but when I finished making the flash file I wondered if there was a way to limit where the viewer can draw. For example, on his tutorial he shows you how to create an easy erase button. Well, what if I don't want the viewer to be able to draw on the button. Is there a way to specify the area that you want the viewer to be able to draw on? I tried making the space a movie clip and just adding the actionscript to the movieclip, but when I placed the movie clip inside a bigger flash file it wouldn't let me draw at all. I thought making it a movie clip would then limit the drawable area. Did I do a good enough job explaining my problem? I just want to be able to limit where the viewer can draw, so that the viewer can't get wild and draw all over the buttons and controls.

I'm using a custom drag for easing properties:
ActionScript Code:
var yMouse:Number;
var xMouse:Number;
onEnterFrame = function(){
yMouse = _root._ymouse;
[Code]...
As you can see, I'm trying to prevent it from passing _root.block by only allowing the mouse's Y to be followed when it isn't passing _root.block. The only problem is that once it hits _root.block, there's no way to drag it back from _root.block. It gets stuck. Is there a better way to prevent it from passing _root.block but allow it to be pulled back from _root.block

So far my logic seems fine for half of the experiment, however, not the other half:[URL] What I'm trying to accomplish is when a user holds down the mouse and drags it across the stage the movie clip will rotate in 3D space horizontally. That works, however, when the mouse is released the movie continues to rotate along with the mouse position. When the movie clip is clicked again then it will stop rotating, but it cannot be clicked and dragged a second time. The link above explains it the best. Also I want to make it so the movie will start to rotate when the mouse is down anywhere on the stage and not just the mc itself.

i have three mc's that look like cd's Three instances of the same movie clip. they go into a player onRelease. do any of you know how to do this... if i click on a cd it looks if any other cd's are clicked. if anyof them are clicked then it tells them to gotoAndPlay (thisKeyFrame) in that cd movie clip(which would be a simple tween and will look like the cd comes back out).
i tried setting variables in the cdMovie clip like on the first frame onValue="no" but once it goes in and stops the onValue="yes". and then i had AS on each cd looking if the onValue variable is yes or no in each one of them. but for some reason it can't read it? Do you know what i should do? maybe create an object or something for each button?

I am trying to set up a if function for a hit test. I am using action script 2.0 am coding all in one layer not within movie clips so dont give me code in that format unless nececary.I have a movie clip with instance name src_resolute and I have another movie clip that is nested inside another movie clip named endbar.What I am trying to do is when src_resolute hits endbar I want it do gotoandplay the next scene.The parrent movie clip of the nested movie clips instance name is background.If you need any more infromation let me know but basicly what I want to do is when my main character(src_resolute) makes contact with the nested movie clip(a movie clip I have drawn inside of another movie clip) I want it to jump to the next scene or more specificaly scene 4.

I can't seem to get my head round why when I set the colortransform object for one clip in my movie, it seems to affect the entire movie - textboxes and everything..I thought that a colorTransform it only affected the specified and child clips in the movie.Example - I have a lot of things attached to _root.I have a particular clip which is on its own and is attached to the _root - this is my code...Code:clip.transform.colorTransform = new flash.geom.ColorTransform(0.05, 0.05, 0.05, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);That seems to set the clip nice and dark as I want it to - but it also sets all other clips and all clips dynamically added afterwards to have the same colortransform settings... am I missing something from the CT object?

I am using an older version of flash. This is technically a game question but it is in older flash.My MC is a movable char that can jump, fall, and land on platforms. I would like to program a way for if the char falls and doesn't meet ground (i.e. falls out of view entirely) for a new frame to play on the main timeline OR for a movie clip to load asking it to try again OR for the game to start over completely. Whichever method is easiest.

I'm creating a drag and drop movieclip to colour a different movieclip. I need to duplicate the first instance so as the original stays in the same place (on the pallette), and then the dragged one can be removed after it has been dropped into the area. This is the script for the dragging and dropping of the original instance, but I can't figure out the duplication/removal part:
on (press) {
startDrag("_root.pallette1");
this._alpha = 70;

Hi, if I set the scale mode to noscale and then set the width and height to 100% how do I keep the movie from getting pushed beyond the top and left boundaries of the browser window so the scrollbars will appear?

I have a movieclip I'm dragging and dropping. When I drag the clip outside of the stage, it gets stuck in drag mode and when I bring the cursor back onto the stage it suddenly snaps back onto the cursors position and it continues to drag (basically screwing up my drag and drop sequence). What I'd like is for the clip to stop dragging and snap back to its original X and Y position whenever you drag it outside the SWFs stage. I tried to achieve this by adding a listener to the stage to listen for a MOUSE_UP event when the drag begins. But its not working and I keep getting errors.[code]
Which I don't understand because dropClip isn't a property its a function. If anyone can explain how I need to modify my code to make the clip stop dragging or if I can constrain the drag so you can't drag it outside the stage in the first place that could perhaps work as well.
