ActionScript 3.0 :: Call MOUSE_UP If Mouse Is Stationary?
Feb 7, 2009
Is it possible to call a mouse-up listener if the mouse is stationary? So, if the mouse of moving over an object, and the mouse stops, you can send a mouse_up. My reason is because I'm working on a touch panel screen and it seems to keep the mouse on a constant state of left click down so I can't release any objects that are being dragged.
I am trying to get a stationary object to follow the mouse but remain in its location. Example: i am trying to get the center of a compass to follow the mouse around screen while remaining inside the compass. i have only found out how to have it chase the mouse but not remain on a fixed point and rotate.

I have an icon of a railway train which pulls into a station. At the moment it is a motion tween, and I have had to edit every few frames, modifying the train's position, so that it slows down as it enters the station.
This is messy, and time consuming. Is it possible for someone to give me guidance on how to slowly decelerate an object? The train is almost isometric, so doesn't actually move horizontally; but "south-westerly" across the landscape:

im been trying to make a stationary movie clip do a jump move to the top, slowing down, and then comming back down (like a ball being thrown vertically up) within a given number of frames, ie 10 frames.
Also i would want to add a horizontal vector quantity whereby if a key is pressed (ie left) then it would move horizontally left while still in jump mode.
When the flash loads, the slideshow automatically starts. Then when i cpress on any of the thumbnail, then the timer for slideshow is stopped and currentIndex is updated, then the timer for slideshow is started. When i click on thumbnail images, everything is working except on one thumbnail image.Thus an error is showing which is
following:TypeError: Error #1010: term is undefined and has no properties at imageGall_fla::MainTimeline/slideTransition() at flash.utils::Timer/flash.utils:Timer::_timerDispatch() at flash.utils::Timer/flash.utils:Timer::tick()
Code: public function setupDragDrop(asset:MovieClip) { asset.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, function(e:MouseEvent) { trace("1");
[Code]....
so basically just a function to add drag and drop functionality to an asset, note that when you mouse_down on the asset it takes it from where-ever it is and moves it to a container that sits at the top level in front of everything else.
This however appears to 'disable' the mouse_up event, which is never called in this case. If i remove the re-parenting then the mouse_up is called fine.
Code: var buttons:Array = new Array( _button1, _button2,[code]........
I have 3 buttons on my stage (this is a small part of a larger project), named _button1, _button2, _button3 declared in an array so I can dynamically assign listeners and use a substring of the instance name to determine which button was clicked for other functions.My problem is that trace(e.target.name); returns the value _button1 on ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT as expected. However when clicking the button it returns "instance9" instead of the actual instance name I gave it.Why is this happening and how do I make it return the correct name? Why the hell would my buttonClicked function return a different result from the buttonOver function where the target is the same button for each function?
What if I want to dispatch MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP when un-clicking only some objects, not all of them? I mean, when I add eventListener that listens for MOUSE_UP, it's dispatched (thought with different targets) every time I un-click anywhere, if you understand what I mean. How can I "fix" it?
As I started developing mobile apps for iOS/Android using Adobe AIR I encountered strange problem (or feature). If you create Sprite and make it draggable using startDrag/stopDrag inside MOUSE_DOWN/MOUSE_UP event handlers, everything works. But if you add another listener MOUSE_CLICK to the same object, it starts to fire together with MOUSE_UP. Logically this behavior is all right.
What I need is to prevent firing MOUSE_CLICK handler when user drags the Sprite (startDrag) and I need it to fire when user did not drag the Sprite. What I'm trying to create is a small thumbnail bar which is draggable and after clicking on concrete thumbnail its large version/image opens up. This is actually not possible as MOUSE_CLICK fires everytime user drags whole thumbnail bar so large image opens up everytime.
How do I write a single function that would handle all three events of a single button? I am finding myself with 3 listeners and 3 different functions!
does anyone know a formula that causes an object to gravitate towards another stationary object? In the formula you can include the distance from the object and the objects mass as well as anything else you can think of.I tried to figure it out myself, but the effect is not realistic. In my version, the gravity becomes stronger when the two objects are far apart and it becomes weaker as the objects are closer together... here's what I used...[code]the diffx and diffy are the distance apart and the mass is the sized of the stationary object..
As soon as I start to drag the scrollbar, I get an error #1069 telling me that MOUSE_UP not found on flash.events.MouseEvent and there is no default value. I was watching a tutorial from Todd Perkins, and the scrollbar is built after his model. I really hope for an answer, it's killing me
How to create a mouse over event that call a function after 3 second?
I'm trying to create a function where when a mouse go over a sprite, it will count 3 second and call upon another new sprite, when mouse out before 3 second, the new sprite will not be called, how can i do this?

I'd like to make a button, but also with rollout state, thus I have to make it from MovieClips.All I have done is that incorporated three MC (up_mc, rollover_mc, rollout_mc) into a btn_mc,and applied some AS code to call the different mc-s at different mouse states.I attached an fla made with MX to show how I imagined.. but still does not work.
var _sprite:Sprite=new Sprite();..._sprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onClick);addChild(_sprite);private function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void{ //how to make mouse shape into handCursor here and
I am in the process of making a button (a very stubborn button) with a mouse event in the actions for a frame. Here is the full error: Error: Call to possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference of static type Class. And here is the code for the listener:
I need to Automate the Page flip where the user has no control. Make it into an animation per say. I know it can be done. But I can't seem to figure out how. I can make just the first page. But I can't make it keep going. You guys know what I'm talking about right?[URL] Here's the code and notes...
