ActionScript 3.0 :: Button Hitarea Is Off/ Distorted (weird)?
Aug 13, 2010
Got this weird issue going on today. The hitarea, the 'interactive space' of some of my buttons is off/ distorted. I created several buttons in a class with the pen tool and converted them to Buttons. I added some eventlisteners, but when I tested my Movie, I noticed the interactive space of some buttons was gone or at a different position or not the size I made it.
I made another button using the rectangle tool, and tested again. I noticed the visual button was at the place I put it, but the 'interactive space' was at the bottom right. Whenever I would move over this interactive space with my cursor, the visual button would instantly go to the place the interactive space is. Whenever I move the mouse out of the interactive space, the visual button goes back to its inital place.
Check it: (press start, 2 times the right arrow, then the window, then go to one of the buildings in the landscape and click on it)[URL].. Here you see two rectangle shape buttons. Hover over them, no interactivity. Move the mouse somewhat down to the right, and weirdness happens.

I am embedding swf files into flex and no matter what button I use, mine or one of the library swf's that comes with Flash, the hitarea shifts upwards to the top 10 pixels of the button and up from there outside the button area.

It transpires that there was another Sprite being create and set to alpha=0 which just happend to be at the same Y position as the height of the SimpleButton. This was preventing interaction with the button.
I have a SimpleButton which I am positioning on the stage. I'm doing a variety of things with it buy when I set it's Y position it breaks/alters the hitArea.
var playUp:Bitmap = getBitmap('play_up');
var playDown:Bitmap = getBitmap('play_down');
var Y:Number = 100;

My first time making anything in flash, so go easy on me. I made a set of navigation buttons for a website I'm building for a friend of mine.
When I make it in Flash, everything looks perfect. When I save it as a movie and run on my computer (in Flash Player 6), it still looks perfect. But when I put it on my website, the "M" in "HOME" gets distorted (on all browsers). See here: [URL]
Using Flash MX, can't afford the upgrade to CS right now!

If I create a Movie Clip and assign a child Movie Clip as the hit area using this.hitArea = this.mcClipName; is there a way for me to disable that hit area? For instance, mcButton is a button. When I click mcButton, it triggers a function that reveals other content in my movie. I don't want them to be able to click that button again unless they close the new content (using another button that appears with the new content).

is there a way to assign a dynamically created movie clip the hitarea of a PNG file that is loaded into it via actionscript, basically creating a none square/circle hitarea that is a mask of the bitmap image.

I am trying to set up a cicular movieClip as a hitArea for another, but the circular shape is not detected rather the bounding box of the movieClip. is there any way around it? am i doing something wrong?
Code:
TurretRange_mc.hitArea = TurretActive_mc.TurretHitArea;
TurretRange_mc.hitArea (TurretActive_mc.TurretHitArea);
so far i've tried these two methods.

Flash CS4
AS2
RadioButton Component
I want to remove the so called "HitBox/HitArea" on the RadioButton component - I don't want the user to be able to click anywhere else except the button - and I don't want to just resize the hit area so it's as big as the button (the hit area is a square, and my button is a circle)... can this be done? or does the button absolutely depend on hit area? Part of my reason for asking this, is when I publish my .swf with the radiobutton - the hitarea is displaying as a big white rectangle that is covering the button and part of the text up... why is this?

How to programmatically enlarge a flex 3 button's hitArea. Is there some function that I can override? There is no function in the button class called hitArea. What I have done is, I have created a programmaticskin for a button. The form of the skin consists out four arrows. In between the arrows there is nothing (meaning transparent). Because of the way the skin is shaped, it's difficult to click on the button. The skin has alter the buttons hitArea. What I'm looking for is a way to enlarge the hitArea and alter the hitArea shape in to an square. (the hit area must ofcourse still be invisible).

I have a grid of many 10x10 pixel squares separated only by a pixel line. When the user rolls over the sprite, it grows, animating to about 4 times its size--to around 40x40 pixels. The sprite stays large while the mouse is over the sprite, but if the user wants to rollover the neighboring sprite it is obscured by this sprite and its larger size.
Is it possible to shrink the size of the hit area so that even though the sprite grows in size the mouse can still access or trigger the neighboring sprites underneath--to the right, left, top, bottom? I thought about using Mouse_move, but wasn't sure if that would fire off too many events.
I read the following posts. However, my hitArea needs to be the same size or just slightly larger than the original 10x10 pixel sprite. I've had little success. [code]...

I am trying to customise a listbox component so that when the user clicks on one of the items a movie clip containing 3 buttons appears. My problem is that as I have make the buttons appear whern the item in the listbox is clicked, they are attached to the movie clip and so dont work.I think that one way around this would be to define a seperate hitArea for the listbox item so that this does not interfere with the buttons when they appear

Is it possible? What I'm trying to do is enlarge the hitArea for a selected movieclip on my stage, but only onRollover. I have 5 MCs on my stage acting as buttons of sorts. onRollover of any of the clips, they grow in scale and I'd like the hitArea to do the same so they (MC and hitArea) are proportional.

I have been having some trouble with a movie clip basically designed to act as a button for a store front for a website.This movie clip has, stored as the front of the movie (i.e. before you click in to edit the movie) the following code:
on(rollOver){
gotoAndPlay("Over");
}[code]..........
This gives the movie the hover over and out effect and animates the button so as once pressed the button expands to give a 'Product Details' view.However, when clicked the info shows up as it should but the hit area which I put into the Movie Clip is still on the info area so none of the contents on this new window are accessible and when the cursor leaves the designated info area the movie clip returns to its first stage as it would appear at the start of the animation.Is there any simple way to disable the HitArea on specific frames within a Movie Clip?

I copied this from some other forum because it's explain well "...Let�s say you are loading in an external asset that has an alpha channel, such as a PNG. Now let�s say that you want that asset to act like a button, with rollover and click actions. No problem. No reason you can't do that. But, actually, there is a problem. The hit area for that external asset will be its entire bounding box. Take this octy image for example: Even if you rolled over the top left of the image where it�s totally transparent, it will still trigger rollover actions, which is certainly not ideal and could potentially be very confusing for a user..."

I´ve made a couple of simple buttons and I have placed a sound on the over frame, when I export the swf the sound sometimes get very distorted and in a browser too, so I made a movieclip "button" instead and attached the sound and the same thing happens!The sound is a mp3, a short "classic" click.

I've got an isometric view of a flat surface. On this surface there are various characters running around and I obviously need to control the depths of each object.
My flat surface needs to be used in two views: top-bottom + isometric.
The original mc is generated in the flat top-bottom mode. For the isometric view, that same mc gets distorted: this way the whole XY coordinates system gets distorted too.
Have a look at this (updated).
So i'd need to create this extra coordinate (is it the classic Z-depth?), and manage to gather information about it...
Does anyone know what the formula would be to calculate the depths of each character (red lines)?

I recently switched to using a MacBookPro (snowleopard) when developing, after several years of PC use. Now, quite often when publishing my swf:s, embedded sounds get all distorted and filled with loud crackling sounds when running the swf (yes, even on different computers). I tried different compressions, bitrates and qualities with the same result. Something is clearly wrong with how my machine compresses sound.

ive got a flash template, but its really difficult to edit. heres the thing: there are 4 main categories buttons, and when i click each categorie, 3 options appears. for example
[Code]...
green, blue, red and yellow are already with button codes, for when i click it, it opens their 1, 2 and 3 option buttons, but these 1 2 and 3 for each color are not links, and when i try to add a code to them, ALL of them get the same link, like their instances from the same thing. and when i try to set a button to be instance of another thing, all of them change again.
its really difficult and i've tried everything. even creating another box for these 1,2and 3, but when i create a box on this section, another 2 boxes are created at its sides.

I have a grid in a 2D system like the one in the before image where all points A,B,C,D,A',B',C',D' are given (meaning I know the respective x- and y-coordinates).I need to calculate the x- and y-coordinates of A(new), B(new), C(new) and D(new) when the grid is distorted (so that A' is moved to A'(new), B' is moved to B'(new), C' is moved to C'(new) and D' is moved to D'(new)).The distortion happens in a way in which the lines of the grid are each divided into sub-lines of equal length (meaning for example that AB is divided into 5 parts of the equal length |AB|/5 and A(new)B(new) is divided into 5 parts of the equal length |A(new)B(new)|/5).The distortion is done with the DistortImage class of the Sandy 3D Flash engine. (My practical task is to distort an image using this class where the handles are not positioned at the corners of the image like in this demo but somewhere within it).

On Linux (Debian Lenny) the installation instructions for the *installer*.tar.gz download file say:Unpack file.Navigate into directory or folder created.Run install program.But no directory created; no install program - what the hell is going on??What you get is a single *.so file. What do you do with it?I got it to work in the past, but perhaps by a different method.

I created a site for a client and they are experiencing something weird with the top links in the base SWF. The links appear to be distorted or doubling up. I don't have anything extra in the MC. And what's worse is that I can't see this effect on any of the computers I have. They see it on their laptop.
I've attached a screenshot from them.

I have an mp4 file with the audio sounding perfect that I'm running through Adobe Flash CS3 Video Encoder to convert to an flv which I'm trying to then embed in a fla.My problem comes in the fact that after its embedding when previewing it, the sound quality has -significantly- deteriorated to the point where it sounds crackly and echoing. I've tried changing the sound data rate to maximum, but it makes no difference at all.

I have imported voice-over into my flash animation project as a WAV file. When I test it within the library, it's perfect. When I play it back using "Play" under "Controls" it is slightly degraded. And then when I play it back using "Test Movie in flash professional" under "Control" and when I publish the file, the audio is severely compressed and distorted. Why does this happen and how do I fix it?

I have created a 3d rotation along the timeline inside a movieclip using the 3D rotation tool new to CS4. This movieclip resides inside an swf that will show a number of instances of this movieclip. The 3d tranformation works great when running the swf. BUT! When the swf gets published and I want to load the swf inside a main swf the 3d transformation gets distorted and out of place. I´ve looked at perspective projection and stuff like that, but I can´t figure out how this is effecting a timeline based animation and what I can do to stop it.
