ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing The Way This Mouse Trail Works-need Fewer Repeats?
Apr 15, 2010
Everything works fine, but I am trying to play with the different options.The one thing I am trying to do is have fewer repeats, as the object I am using is larger than the one in the tutorial and it looks too crowded. So, I am trying to figure out where to change the code, so that fewer repeats occur. I assume its the math random part, but not sure.Does anyone know where in this code below I would change that option?

I'm trying to make a mouse trail, and the duplicated MCs are supposed to become lighter and lighter.
duplicateMovieClip (_root.dragger, drag1, 1)
drag1._alpha=75
thats my code...why's it not working? I got that from the Elastic Ball Open source.

so how should i modify the script, when i want to use three small, different images instead of just one (imagine three stickmen chasing the cursor as if connected there with an elastic band) ? i tried, but this bypasses my beginner's skills by far

I'm trying to duplicate this type of mouse trail. I can't tell if it's deforming a movie clip or drawing separate objects on the stage. I can duplicate it at slow speeds, but at a fast speeds I have no idea how they're doing it.
The MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE is way to slow on the update to draw exactly where the mouse is going so I tried using curveTo to create a curve but unfortunately you still hit a point where you get a sharp angle.

I've been busy with a small tutorial on creating a flaming mouse trail. I'm getting two errors though in the same line which I do not understand in the following part of my code:
function startTheFire( e:Event ):void{
TweenLite.to( e.target,0, {alpha: ( e.target.alpha -= 0.05 )} );
if ( e.target.alpha < = 0 )
e.target.removeEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, startTheFire );
removeChild( e.target as Sprite );
}
ERRORS:
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before semicolon.
1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before assign.
Both refer to the following line: if ( e.target.alpha < = 0 )

I was wondering how you change the text colour with action script. The Kirupa mouse trail tutorial I was looking at has the following script for the text:
letterformat = new TextFormat();
letterformat.font = "Verdana";
letterformat.align = "center";
[Code].....
Is there a way to do this or am I way off track?

I created a 300x250 Web banner for Google with a mouse trail effect. The banner will not upload because, according to the Google tech people, the banner contains animation that goes "out of bounds." Common sense tells me that if a mouse effect is applied to a Flash banner, then it should only be occurring when a user mouses over that banner. However, I was told that the mouse effect does indeed take place outside the 300x250 banner boundaries, which is preventing the banner from being fully uploaded live.
Does anyone know how to define the stage area so that the mouse effect only occurs in this 300x250 space? Perhaps the only way to get around this is to create a 300x250 hidden button and somehow make the mouse effect occur on rollover. If that is the case, then does anyone know how to do that?

From a webpage, I can specify that a SWF should be loaded with "allowNetworking=internal" and "allowScriptAccess=none" to prevent it from modifying the state of the browser.
Is it possible for SWF A to be loaded with no restrictions, and have A impose those restrictions on a SWF B that it loads?

I recently made a simple Flash file with video with an alpha channel and three simple buttons. It's a site tour video, and there's a button in the lower right to exit the tour that takes you back to home page. When you move over the "Exit Tour" button, it transforms in size slightly to highlight it. However, PC users are telling me that they can't see the word "Tour" on the button, only "Exit" until you move over the button, then they can see both words. The button functions perfectly on a Mac. Also I've been told that the video often appears choppy and sluggish on PCs, and not Macs. I'm encoding and streaming on flash media server - 400kps, CBR with alpha channel encoded, size 880x512. This is put on a stage size of 980x667 in Flash - is this is just too big of a window for streaming to handle? I have attached some files for reference.

I have a component that extends UIComponent of Flex, I want to add it a FlexMouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE listener but it does not works. that means I can not capture the event. But when I use PopUpManager to add this component, and then add a FlexMouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE listener, it works fine. Is FlexMouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE only works for pop-up components?

I have a flash file that uses Mouse.hide() and sartDrag() to show a custom cursor. The problem is that when the cursor is above a button or movie clip (via level or layer), it doesn't work... sometimes it flickers a bit, but that's it.
This is the weird part:
When I move the custom curser beneath the button or mc, (via level or layer), it works perfectly.

Ive got a code to move a MC on the main stage together with the mouse, in the the X axis,. difficult to explain. But now the client wants that this MC movement works only when the Y position of the mouse is over the 300 px. I thought I need a hit test or something elese. Please help. Here is the whole code.

I made the tutorial for the Infinite menu. The menu in reality goes from the left edge to the right edge of the stage, but I have masqued it so that it only appears on the left side of the stage where I want it to be. I also changed the anchorpoint of the animation, so that the anchor is on the midpoint of the left half of the stage, instead of the midpoint of the whole stage. Everything works, but when you drag the mouse over the right side of the stage where the menu is hidden, the scrolling increases in speed.
Is there a way of telling the mouse pointer action to stop when the mouse reaches a certain part of the stage, instead of at the actual edge of the stage?

I'm making a Myst clone and want the cursor to do different things when it mouses over various objects and regions, for instance:
- Turns into an open hand when over a grabbable item.
- Turns into a right-facing arrow when on the right side of the screen signifying "turn right here".
- Turns into an icon of an inventory object when the object is selected.
How is this done? I found some code that sort of did it, but it was sloppy, the cursor flickered like crazy, and overall it sucked. I want to harness in Flash the same mechanism that makes my cursor turn into the bracket thing when it's over a text field, or a finger when over a link.ALSO I want to be able to make the arrow stay a regular arrow when it's over manipulatable items I want to remain secret.

I think I'm really close to getting my multiple choice question to work! Here's what it does:
1) Read my question, possible answers, and correct answer key from XML.
2) Print the question, 4 answers, and 4 radio buttons on the stage.
3) Clicking the submit button on the stage, checks the answer. The user gets feedback based on whether they are right or wrong.
1) When the user mouses over an answer, I want to change the text color.
Currently, only the color of the last answer is changing colors, and it's changing colors if I mouse over any of the answers.
Here's my code:
Code:
import fl.controls.RadioButton;
import fl.controls.RadioButtonGroup;
var qLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
