I have a movie clip which contains a circular image, and by default Flash CS4 gives it a rectangular bounding box. This is a problem however because I am using this movie clip as a button, so the rollover area includes the entire rectangular bounding box and not just the circular image. How can I change the shape of this rectangular bounding box?
View 2 Repliesis it possible to make button in a different shape for example i have a figure that i cut from image on a transparent background an i was wonder if it is possible to make that person in to a button but just that person not the transparent background.
View 1 RepliesIn my app, a user must drag and release a rectangular mc object (rectx) over an irregular shape within another mc object (irregx). There are 13 rect/irreg pairs. Each obj shares an AS2 file that checks whether rectx is over irregx, and proceeds _only_ if the check is true. The script uses hitTest, on mouse release, to grab the number (x) of the rectx being dragged and checks whether it's over irregx. Right now, the check comes back true when rectx is _anywhere_ inside irregx's bounding box whether it's over the actual image or not.
I've noticed that, when the (unpressed) mouse rolls over any irregx, it's oblivious to irregx's rectangular bounding box. It only reacts when it reaches the edge of the irregular shape inside, toggling from arrow to hand at the image edges. Since the mouse knows where the irregx image boundary is, is there a simple way to tap the mouse's 'eyesight' to verify whether rectx is over the correct irregx shape (meaning not just within the bounding box, within the shape inside it)? This can't be that hard.
I've been following this tutorial to crop images in flex: [URL]
At the heart of its cropping is using a method called "copyPixels". However, this method takes as one of its arguments a rectangular shape for its crop region. Are there other strategies I can use to crop it not using a rectangle.
I am going after letting the user specify the region that should be cropped using a series of points.
whats the best way to restrict a draggable object to a non-rectangular shape (like triangle) I did it with hittest but i cant get it to go to the nearest point when the cursor is outside the shape...

I'm trying to do collision detection for my game, but I don't necessarily like the premade methods hitTestObject or hitTestPoint just as they are. I've been searching all over the place for how to change the bounding box of a symbol, but all I found was how to get its bounding box. I'm aware of the pixel perfect collision detection code out there, but I'm looking to use bounding boxes for certain classes.
Is it possible to change the symbol's bounding box and still have that box recognized by hitTestObject or hitTestPoint? If not, I might have to write my own colllision detection code. =/
I'm making a simple platformer. I have an array holding what my level looks like and my main character is a horse.... okay it's a unicorn... anyways, Whenever I jump to a platform the hittest is saying that he has landed even though his head or his tail is just over the edge... I'm trying to make it so that only his feet will allow him to land.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to make a bounding circle instead of a bounding box?The objects should bounce INSIDE the circle.I have now a bounding box outside the circle, but the objects exceeds the circle at the corners.
I was thinking of making an array of Points on the edge of a circle and when the object is < or > then do something... but that would be a lots of if/else statements.
using the shape tool you can draw basic shapesthen using the subselection tool you can re-shape them by relocating certain points
What i want to do is create a tween whereby one of the points is movedthe problem is you have to convert to a symbol first and after you have done that you cant change the shapes shape.so how do i go about using a motion tween to change the shape of a shape?
Im really new to as3, and im just trying out some stuff, but i cant get a shape to refresh and change when i change its variable using a text field.If i change the text fields text before i test it, it works, but while its running it doesnt change it again.Btw, trying to change the stroke size.[code]i just want is so that when i change the strokeSize_txt text box, it will change the stroke for the shape.
