Code:
startDrag("_root.tooltip", true);
y_mouse = 20;

View 0 RepliesI want to make a movieclip of a fly (yes, the insect) (named "flue" in norwegian) follow my mousepointer around the stage, or on top of image, either by following (which I imagine will be quite advanced) or hovering beneath the mousepointer, and would prefer it not to be necessary holding the mousebutton down, as this might be uncomfortable for some timeI've tried:
flue.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, movingFly);
function movingFly (evt:MouseEvent){ flue.x = flue.mouseX+225; flue.y = flue.mouseY+220; }

I have a small flash animation with an image in it. when I move the mouse over the image a webpage opens. However when I stay with the mouse on the image and move it, the animation repeats and so it keeps flickering. I used the code below on the image:
on (rollOver) {
getURL("page1.html");
}
How can it be done that when I move the mouse on the image it only loads once?

I'm after something like "trigonometric actionscript"?
Example: How could I make letters go circle around my mousepointer?
It lets you move a Cube, with the arrow keys on the keyboard. This is the code.
Code:
function hearKey(yourEvent:KeyboardEvent):void{
if (yourEvent.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT){
cube_mc.x+=5

I keep pressing the down key down and also press the left key down...
now it moves left...(not so good, i want it to move both left and down, how do i do that?)
now i release the left key but am still on the down key....
Is it possible to copy the mouse movements, but rather than making a movieclip follow it exactly, to make up with the mouse move the movieclip up and left at a certain angle?
View 17 RepliesI am trying to do an example of collision in Action Script 3. It's a character that should stop when it hits a platform. It works well when I move only to the right, left, up or down directions, but if I try to move in the diagonals, if the characteris colliding with the platform, the object goes to a different area of the screen.
var level:Array = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < numChildren; i++) {
if (getChildAt(i) is Platform) {
level.push(getChildAt(i).getBounds(this));

recording movements while dragging an object and when the object is dropped the record event will stop and the recorded movement will be animated by Play button.

View 5 RepliesI am working on an interactive guide with some sort of different maps that are supposed to move together depending on where you are if that makes any sense...well no it doesn't. ok the main clip pans side ways on mouse move using a tutorial from this website. And when this clip slides along x up to a certain point, I need to get two other clips to also slide to a precise point depending on the first one position, one only along x and the other one on both x and y. OF course i also have to set several key position on the mainclip to mave the two clip at a different place each time the main clip reaches a different point. For now I have been trying things using mc_tween2 like that:

i've got a little actionscript that makes a shape follow my mouse about the screen. it works fine when i place it in a layer. however, when the code is in a mc and i place the mc in my layer, then i get no joy.i expect i need a line like tellTarget when using buttons within a mc to target places outside the mc?

So 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 am working on a game in which I want a movie clip to move from one random location to another, with a pause in between each movement. I have written some code with thtutorials, but I can't get it to work the way I want it to. I am extremely new to ActionScript, so I'm probably doing everything wrong. Right now all my game does is pause for a certain amount of time, and then the object just jumps from one location to another extremely quickly and doesn't stop.

In ActionScript 3, I need to detect a sequence of movements made by the mouse when the button is down.I've read this question, and it seems a bit overkill. I only need to detect the 8 basic directions (up/down/left/right/diagonals), so that I can detect a "Z".

I am currently working on a interactive map that I am building in flash. I need to figure out if there is a way to code something so that we can have our map zoomed in, so it is only showing a section of the map in the veiwport at a time, but when the mouse reaches the edge of the screen I want it to automatically scroll with it, up, down, over, etc.
View 1 Replieshow can i give random movements for a movieclip on the stage.When i am trying this movieclip stopped after 3 or 4 movements.How can i do this
View 5 RepliesI have two different movieclips on my stage, one with a number of buttons and one with a moving object that I want to control with my buttons. The reason for having the buttons in their own movieclip is that I want to be able to move them as well. Let's say I have an object in "myMovieClip" that moves between three different positions when I press three different buttons, the buttons might say "up", "left" and "right".
[Code]....
How do I get my movements to start where it last stoped? If my object starts out at the "Up"-position and I press "Left", I want it to move from Up to Left and if I then press "Right" I want it to move from Left to Right. If my object is at Left and I press Left I want it to stay where it is.

I need help with MC's animation causing a weird conflict. I have a movie clip come out and appear to drag another to the side of the stage. I get a weird wobble and dither from the mc that is dragged in horizontal motion. I have included a simple example, the original has complex motion on the "arms: so I used a simple box to demonstrate problem. I am at a loss as to what is causing this. This is a flash cs4 file.
View 2 RepliesI have 2 mc's which can be dragged. When one is dragged I want the other to mirror the position of the dragged one.
say they are mcA and mcB
if mcA is dragged,
mcB's x should = mcA's x and
mcB'sY should = mcA's Y * -1
same for when B is being dragged but reverse obviously
I want this to execute continuously while one of the mc's is being dragged. I tried using while with a boolean, maybe you can't? here is what I tried to simply get one to work, just B to follow A when A is dragged.
PHP Code:
var dragging:Boolean = false;
main_mc.mcA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDraggingAB);
main_mc.mcB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDraggingAB);

I have set up some objects so that they can be dragged and dropped into an area(suitcase). This works fine but the thing is that when I move to another part of the timeline the object is put back in the same position it was in before being dropped in the suitcase. I need to be pointed in the right direction with this:
a) If an item is dropped into the suitcase then a message is displayed saying for example "you packed the socks"( I think I can handle this).
b) The object should stay in the case and be displayed there until the interaction moves on(I need this to happen).
c) The user must pack all objects before moving, so I need a way of recognising all objects are packed so that the user can move on..(I need this to happen).
Can i create a custom text animation or something. Ofcourse without involving variables. And can i use this Movie clip in various projects. What am i supposed to do, save it and keep it as a .fla or can the movie clip alone be saved and imported into various projects ?
View 5 RepliesI'm just wondering if it's possible to have a page of text that is 'invisible' (for want of a better word) and when you move your mouse over the page, the text appears in a circle (of whatever radius) around the mouse point.The text would be clearest and darkest at the mouse point, and fade out towards the outer circle, and 'appear' smoothly as the mouse is dragged around the white page.
