I have a graphic (220px * 40px) in frame 1 tweened to frame 10.In frame 1 I have the following script:
**********
if (_xmouse>0 && _xmouse<220 && _ymouse>0 && _ymouse<40) {
play ();
} else {
stop ();
}
**********
trigger the tween when the mouse is over the graphic but nothing happens?
It has been awhile since I have worked in flash.Right now I am working on something where I would like a panel to disappear when someone mouses off the stage.stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, leaveHandler); It usually works fine but if I move my mouse really fast it doesn't fire. I have also tried the same thing using a custom invisible button that surounds the perimeter of the stage and I have tried ROLL_OVER and MOUSE_OVERand again, if I do it too fast my event doesn't fire (I am using trace)I can't find anything on the net about this - is this typical of flash that if you move your mouse too fast you break it? Do I need to increase my frame rate (I would really rather not because I have perfectly timed animations - I am at 30 frames per second)
View 1 RepliesI changed the startframe with the currentFrame command in order to run the function from the frame that its triggered. I dont wont to put limits on startframe by defining it into the code. The clip starts playing normally. Normal speed. In about the middle I want to change it speed. So (according to the code) I just have to place the cursor on the clip in order to trigger the function (it could be with the clip of a button). The thing is that everytime that the function is triggered the clip starts -not from the frame that it was triggered- but from the beggining.
thatBall.play();
var mc_playrateChange:MovieClip;
function framerateF(mc:MovieClip,framerate:int,currentFrame :int,endframe:int):void{
mc_playrateChange = mc;
mc.timer=new Timer(1000/framerate,endframe-currentFrame);
mc.gotoAndStop(currentFrame);

I have a function which triggers a tween for the currentTarget in an array when target is clicked but how can I trigger a tween for everything else in the array??

I'm having some trouble with the attached file, I've tried lots of things but just can't seem to control the movie clip. On click on 'Detailing' from the landing page a new slide *slides onto the stage 'content3'. Within this I have added a separate graphic with a tween 'gr_detailcopytest'. I want it to start only when it lands within the main stage's masked area. I also want the tween to stop too after its played out. I have tried adding a stop action at the end of the tween but this stops the tween altogether - Furthermore, when I click on another menu item and go back to 'Detailing' I want the tween to start again.
View 6 RepliesHere's how I'd like events to unfold:when the first image is completely downloaded, fade it up and start the timer After 5 seconds, pause the timer and completely download the next image. Fade it up and start the timer again Remove the previous image from the stage
I set my fade's alpha to .5 to see if the previous image was being removed, and it was not. What is wrong with my syntax?

So I just got CS4 and the all Im trying to do is a tween with a vector graphic expanding as it moves down but it cant handle it, it plays out all laggy and its the same when its published. Can any of you guys help?
Just as a note CS3 does the same job just fine I dont know whats wrong with it I have played around with the publish settings and my frame rate is set to 25fps.
To test it I did the same thing with just a vector square on a new file and it reacts the same way!
Theres no actionscript going on just simple stuff that should work but fine but doesnt
how do i make a button trigger a movie clip that targets specific coords? I'm building a map and when a button is click it goes to a defined point. right now it jumps to the coords, but i'd much rather it smoothly move instead. the other thing is that i would like it to move from whatever point it is currently at.
View 11 RepliesI am trying to trigger two events with a mouse click. I have a filmstrip MC with 6 images (shows three until you click one of the buttons) and I have a left and right arrow in its own MC these are both in the main MC and the action script is located in the main on layer called actions. My code is as follows�
//event listener for the filmstrip left and right navigation
leftRight_MC.leftBtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, leftNav);
function leftNav (event:MouseEvent):void
[code]....
The desired effect is to show the button which will get the filmstripMC to move as an active button and the other one as dead.I have tried an eventListener in the leftRight_MC to trigger the different states and it is buggy. It will go to the left but not to the right.
I have some simple script:

I debug, and when I press the mouse, it traces TWICE! Why is this? (Does the same thing for onMouseUp).
This is the website that I'm working on. Not much going on yet but I have this invisible button that turns the radio on and off.. what I would like to do is have an image of the radio that I made up where the light is on for when it turns on and then back to off for when it's off.

How would one force/trigger a mouse up event (besides lifting finger) in as3?
View 4 Repliesso i've been following this tutorial on youtube about buttons and how to make them trigger certain things using AS3 Anyway, here's my code:
[Code]...
What suppose to happen is when i mouse over the button, some things appear, when the hover is off, everything goes back to normal The problem: When i mouse over the button, everything start blinking and the "some things" start appearing and disappearing while i hover over the button. When i remove aOut event and function - everything works like it should - "some things" appear when the button is hovered and stay there because there's no aOut code.
Tested the same thing using MouseEvent.CLICK instead of MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER. When it's just by itself - works fine. I clicked the button and things appear. But when I add MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, nothing happens at all. The button becomes unclickable.
I am trying to figure out how to trigger a button's over state (i.e. play the over state movie clip for about 4 seconds and then return to the up state) without the mouse event.
The playing of the movie clip would occur when an Action Script cue point in an flv was reached. I think I have the right code for the cue point handling, but have no idea how to specify the over state of a button, or how to tell it to play for a specified time and then return to it's up state.[code]...
I'm seeing inconsistent ROLL_OVER behavior. I have two movieclips (A and B) both containing an alpha=0 hit area child mc (rectangle contained in a mc symbol with the symbol's alpha set to 0 in the parent). I add the same event listener in each parent A & B:
hit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onRollOver, false, 0, true);
function onRollOver(e:MouseEvent):void {
trace("Mouse Rolled Over");
}
In parent A, when the cursor is over the hit area as the clip appears (using TweenLite.to(alpha), the listener above triggers properly without moving the cursor. In parent B, I have to move the curosor in order for the above listener to trigger. Moreover, in parent B, when the eventlistener is attached to the hit child mc (as shown above) rather than "this" (parent B), I actually have to remove the cursor from the hit area entirely and re-enter the hit area for the above listener to trigger? The parent mc's are loaded differently. Parent A, which works more reliably (mouse doesn't need to move in order for the listener to trigger), is pre-loaded and made visible (.visible = true). Parent B is rendered on the fly in the timeline and is a child of three levels of parents/grandparents...
After about a week of arduous debugging and restructuring I've finally got my game engine to compile and run without any errors or wierd output. However, my control code, which I've moved almost untouched into it's own class, is failing to function due to events not triggering. It can be found at the bottom of this post, but I had to delete the contents of a few functions to make it fit in the char limit. The functions that are empty, aren't like that in the actual code, they didn't seem relevant to the problem.The important part to note in it is my block of addEventListener lines, flanked on either side by a trace message. Both of those traces fire successfully, so that would seem to indicate that the event listeners are being added fine.
The problem is that no events fire. At all. None of them. Keyboard and mouse input does not trigger the appropriate functions, I've tried traces just inside each of them, and they are never triggered.ctually, one event does fire correctly. The one that runs every frame. That goes perfectly, but the others do not.Is there any obvious flaw in my code that could cause it? Other than this, the entire application runs perfectly, without a single compile error and nothing in the output box except my traces.
Code:
package {
import flash.events.*;

I am using it on a Sony vaio l pc (like hp's touchsmarts) in windows 7 the app doesn't need any multi-touch gestures (only single touch clicks and drags) so i am using mouse events
everything is fine (including mouse click and move events) except that a single touch to the screen (with no move) doesn't fire a mouse down. it is fired only after a small move of the finger
outside the app, on my desktop, i see that the small windows 7 cursor jumps immediately to where a finger is placed, meaning this issue isn't a hardware or a windows problem but rather how internally the flash app receives "translated" touch-to-mouse events from the os.
for example, in a windows Solitaire game, a simple touch to the screen immediately highlights the touched card.in my app, a button will change to the down state only if i touch it and also move my finger slightly (click events - down and up - are triggered fine)
shouldn't the MOUSE_DOWN event trigger exactly like how a TOUCH_BEGIN would in the new touchevent class?

View 4 Repliessee code below. We have movieClip called Map_Collection (in properties) within which are movie clips BusRoute_42 and BusRoute_43 (in properties) as well as the basic map artwork graphic. These are lines that glow (motion tween alpha1% to 100% to 1%) when buttons outside of the map boundary are clicked on. Buttons sit on Scene1 stage outside of the map area and are named in properties Button42 and Button43
Coding also makes the map zoom and pan, using mix of freesource whitecat redcat and greymouse coding for pan and another for zoom with focus at mouse location.
The problem:-
1) Map route glows ok when button clicked, and pan zoom is ok until user happens to shove map around just on the location of the glowing line, the entire flash movie then goes white, all artwork vanishes.. Why ? Near it ok, but on it, zappo !
2) zoom works but zoomout eventually inverts then gets larger !

I've got an image gallery, that when the the image is clicked, it opens 2 images side by side like a magazine. Once the 2 images are loaded and visible, it makes visible 2 movieclips on each side to let you go to either the previous/next 2 images. Here's my code, I made bold the code that specifically relates to my problem. What I'm trying to do is when the button is clicked it either increases or decreases the imgCount by 2, and reloads the new images, but since the function I'm trying to initiate is triggered by a mouse event I don't know how to trigger it when the other function is triggered.
var imgCount:int = 1;
var imgLoader:Loader;
var lLoader:Loader;

Let's assume i have a class MyDisplayObject extending a Sprite.
I have placed several instances of that class on the same place on the stage (they are not nested) and each of them have a mouseclick listener defined within the class.
What i want is, that if i click on that area, where these objects are, that each of them triggers the mouseclick event...by default only the topmost object triggers the event. I would prefer a solution that i can implement within my class MyDisplayObject instead of iterating all children on the stage and triggering each event manually.
allow the user to clip a button and then place a sybmol (either movie clip or graphic) where the user clicks. I would like to use AS2. The project is simply to label a supply and demand curve graph and user needs to plot, or place points wherever they want on the canvas.

View 8 RepliesI created a button that has a movieclip in the rollover state. When you rollover the mouse, the movieclip will animate to appear as if the button will scale from a small to a large button even though it is the movieclip that is playing and not the button itself. But I also want to add a keyboard code to play the rollover instead of the mouse. I learned to write actionscript to play different scenes with the code below, but I'm not sure if I can play a button rollover with the same code.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, key_pressed);
function key_pressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
if (event.charCode==49) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"scene");
}
I would like to know if it is possible to trigger a jquery function to hide something after a Mouse event in flash.
I want this to run when something is clicked in flash:
$("#googframe").click(function() {
$("#googframe").hide();
});
i know how to monitor a click in AS3 but how do i get it to trigger this.
I have a problem and I have potential solution. But I wanted to confirm if there is an easy and simple way to solve my problem.App type:Isometric Game.Problem statement:I am loading images in my flash app and have mouse events attached to them.The images I load are prop images like vehicles, trees, buildings etc., and all of them are transparent.Example: Red ball asset (please ignore the yellow background which I applied to describe the problem)If I click on the actual image area (colored in red), then every thing works perfect.I don't want to trigger mouseevent when I click on empty image part (or transparent area, which I have shown in yellow color)There is one way I know by creating masks in flash. I don't want to do it unless that is the final option left because I load image assets instead of flash assets and I don't want to create a new mask asset for all the assets.There is another method I was going to adopt by using getPixel method of Bitmap.
But there is another problem with this method.I might be able to ignore the click event when I click on the empty part of the asset but if there is some other asset is behind the image in the same location, then I need to process the click event for the occluded image.Well, thinking of solution to this problem takes me to the getObjectsUnderPoint where I can scan the occluded assets
basically this is the code i got from a kirupa tutorial and i just want the graphic to be moved on the x axis
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
getlimits = _root.normalpic.getBounds(_root);
//get the limits of the normal pic movie
