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...
View 1 RepliesI 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);
View 2 RepliesI'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 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.
View 1 RepliesI'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
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.

I've been struggling with making boundaries with my game. I've managed to make boundaries, but in stead of my game character not moving across that border it just bounces back. Which is not the effect I want.

xspeed -= power;

I have 6 movie clip objects and I want to assign them all a value for when the user clicks on them. This value is to be hidden from the user but I will later use it with an additional software to capture the value. I assume this will be done by using a dynamic text field for when the movie clip is pressed.

View 4 RepliesI have Flex 4 DataGrid, what I would like to do is when an cell has been edited, I would then like to walk through the values of that column and preform math on the values, e.g., I want to total up certain values.
1) How do I reference individual values of a specific column so that I may set them.
2) How do I then set those values or should I create a new column array and pop it in place of that column.
how to set default property values for objects that are being created in a loop.
In the example below, these propeties are the same for each object created in the loop: titleTextField.selectable, titleTextField.wordWrap, titleTextField.x
If you pull these properties out of the loop, they are null because the TextField objects have not been created, but it seems silly to have to set them each time.

titleTextFormat.size = 10;
titleTextFormat.font = "Arial";

I have a MovieClip, named "thing", that's in one position and in another position on the next frame. I added an eventlistener to "thing" to advance frames. Very simple, everything works fine.I then add "thing.alpha = 0.5" in the button's event listener. Now when I publish the file, thing fades but doesn't move.
p.s. For reference, here's the entirety of my AS3 on the first frame:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
thing.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doClick);

View 1 RepliesI have some variables created on the main timeline and a mc called options which will be where those variables can be manipulated. A way I've tried to this is by creating a first array(array1) and populating it will all the variable names found on the main timeline, and another array(array2) containing the values of the variables the user has changed(which are displayed on some dynamic text fields). To make these changes, an "apply" button is pressed which will set the values found in array2 to the variables in array1.[code]How would you do this so that var1, var2... are updated properly according to the values found in array2?And because array2 contains strings(read from dynamic textfields), how do you deal with that since var1 and var2 are numbers?
