ActionScript 3.0 :: Click And Drag Out A Dynamic Rectangle?
Apr 6, 2010
Basically using nothing but code I want to be able to hold down my mouse button and when I move my mouse a rectangle of any proportion based on from where the mouse left off is madeI can stretch this out to anywhere on screen till my finger is lifted off the mouse button.nce my finger is off the rect stays there till I create another and the previous rect disappears.I know how to creat a rect normally in AS3 but this has just stumped me
I'm really new to AS3 and could use some help. I have a movieClip with a drag and drop functionality that's working fine but then inside this movieClip is a dynamic text field and it won't let me click over the text field to start dragging and if I click off to the side I can drag but the movieClip is automatically centered and then I can't drop because now the text field is under the mouse and it keeps saying:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property stopDrag not found on flash.text.TextField and there is no default value. at MethodInfo-10()
Why is AS3 so finicky? I'm clicking on the MC for the love of $(*%@ not the text field. Errr..
I have a rectangle (90 degrees). I can drag the cateters, limitid by a rectangle. But I have tried to limit the dragging of the hypotenusa in a rectangle too, but can�t figure it out. Where I have the ?? I want to put values so that the hypotenusa can be dragged peripendicular like the kateters. Later I shal draw and fill the area beeing dragged.
I want to have an image and when I click on the image ,one can hold down the mouse and drag a copy to where ever on the stage and when one lets go, one can drag another and another with each copy still being able to be dragged after released.this is what i have but its pretty simple and doesn't work....
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,makeA Box); var i:Number = 1; //i will be the total number of boxes var newBox:myMC = new myMC();[code]....
I would like to add the ability to resize a rectangle movieclip, plus have the ability to drag it horizontally. I have the horizontal drag code working, but I am not sure how to add the ability to grab the ends and resize it.. There are a lot of these bars on screen, so I am adding listeners in a loop:
I imagine I need to add 2 movieclips to each rectangle to allow for resize handles, but I'm not sure how to refer to them or initalize them...Here is a pic of what I am looking to accomplish.
I Created an action script code when the mouse Down and Drag I taks the X,Y postion in the first and when the mouse is Up it take the Final X, Final Y and Draw Rectangle
I need to Show the User the Rectangle with the mouse Motion (like when you draw in photoshop ) But in my Code the the Rectangle appears when the mouse up
how to limit the region an object can be dragged in if the region is an irregular shape. I've tried with the 'set bounds' command and tried making a shape out of rectangles - but no joy.
Im running a movie clip from an AS class, and simply testing it using the addChild method in the FLA but all my code is in the external AS file. Inside this movieclip i have a my own custom Slider Component. I am using the drag and drop method and i want to constrain the image i am moving to a rectangle. I have drawn the rectangle (called rect) and i am using that MC to get the size and position propities. and my slider is called (slider_mc) anyway here is my code. I am getting the

in the following SWF example: [URL] you can see small iphone application created with flash cs5, this application has blue rectangle, you can drag and drop this rectangle with your mouse cursor.. ok no problem in the code, but i want ask a question: when i run this application in iphone device, my finger will drag and drop the rectangle instead of mouse cursor ? or I need change the code? here is the code i used:
I'm a newbie in flash.I want to click a circle to show a rectangle surrounding it,and click any other places in this stage to hide this rectangle,how to implement this event?
I'm trying to change the size of a rectanlge when it is clicked. At the moment, the rectangle increases in size from both the top AND the bottom. I want to have it so that when it is clicked, only the top of the rectangle increases.
i am creating a simple set of a few rectangles stacked on top of eachother (going to be like a stack of postcards) and i want to have the user click on the top rectangle and it moves to reveal the one underneath it. i have it all set up to work except i can't think of a way to stop it from being clickable after it's been moved to the side and the 2nd rectangle is revealed. does this make any sense? here is my code:
I believe this is esentially a math problem that may be easy for most of the programmers out there, but I am stuck. I have a fixed rectangle width = 50 height = 50 centered in the middle of the stage. I am using this rectangle to copyPixels of a bitmap that is also centered on the stage. The bitmap is draggable. I can define the initial x,y of the rectangle used for copyPixels with
I'm wondering how I can create a dynamic rectangle wich has some text in it, the text is dynamic so the rectangle has to adapt to the length of the text. How to approach this?
Here's my latest attempt at rendering a dynamic rectange (w/ width, height, border_width, border_color & background_color) I'm trying to render a dashed border, and can't seem to get the code right...
I've reworked my logic about five times, and can get the dashes to render right (almost) but the fill color disappears. It's rendered using actionscript. You can see the issues if you change the border width... Anyone mind taking a look to see what I'm doing wrong? It seems like the moveTo function isn't behaving right when I get to the end of each line.
For those of you still with me, I am tasked with making some scrollable content in Flash. Load in a TextFile using LoadURL(), then display it. To get the text, we've written our own class TextFieldExtended, which is basically just there to give the textfile location to the constructor and then have the class do the various steps of getting it and loading it for you.So I needed to get a Scrollbar, which I got hereThe thing is, it works with Sprites.After trying to get it to accept TextFieldExtended, I bumped into a block, since the scrollbar relied heavily on a Sprite property that TextFieldExtended didn't have or could have.
So I tried adding the TextFieldExtended instance to a Sprite instance using addchild.A problem occurs here that I do not know how to handle. It seems that a Rectangle is drawn and the Text is drawn on that. I say this because the scrollbar moves the Rectangle up and down a bit, but the text doesn't scroll, just the Rectangle it is positioned in and the text then moves along with it.My question: can this be fixed, or is does this implementation of scrollbars need a lot of adaptations before this is possible?
am hoping someone here might have some source in the little bag o' trix that will put me on the right road to achieving the following. i am trying to work out the best way of creating a movie that has buttons that when clicked will zoom into and centre a certain area of a larger movieclip?
and then a way of dragging the zoomed into movieclip around the stage area? or panning using x/y positions of the mouse. (and without asking for the moon on a stick - if the user clicks on a empty part of the zoomed mc - it zooms back out to it's original size position?)
any have any fla files or know of any good tut's or threads that can will give me a leg up to get it working? fingers crossed has done this before or know a good place to start?
I draw a rectangle i should see a little bold circle to indicate a perfect rectangle, I seemed to lost mine, can somebody please tell me how to get it back!
I'd love to know how to make click and drag two different things. As it believes the drag function is also a click. Also I'd love to know how to set it so that ALL movieclips stop when they reach say -10px from each side?
I have a movieClip on stage.I wanted to make it so that you can click on stage and drag and if you drag up and right value increases and if you drag down and right value decreases.So that I can resize the movieclip (scaleX & scaleY) based on that dragging.
I have the following code, which works beautifully when all the boxes are the same height. The basic point is that I have three boxes on the stage, 10 pixels apart. If you click and drag those boxes above or below each other, they reorganize themselves. Code: Select all// based off Dynamic Stacking AS3 @ [URL]
How can I set different actions for click and drag or just click? For example I have a map with clickable objects. When clicked on object some action happens, but when a user clicks and drags the panning starts not the click action of object.
I have created the attached FLA file as a horizontal draggable menu in AS3.At the moment i am having a couple of issues with it.
1) I am using MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN and MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP eventlisteners to control the dragging.
The problem is that I click down the mouse button on the movieclip, it will start dragging. All good. However if I then, after dragging it about, let go of the button it registers a click. Obviously i don't want it to do that, I understand that it is registering a click because a click effectively consists of a MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP. Is it something i am doing wrong with the dragging? I am not sure how to differentiate between a click and a drag?
2) I would quite like the stopDrag to have an easeout on it, instead of stopping dead. (Take a look at newcruelty.com for the effect i am after) is this possible, perhaps using Tweenlite or Tweenmax? I have attached the CS4 FLA file (it uses tweenlite)
I am trying to convert a rectangle(actually multiple rectangles) to a curved rectangle. I think it should be pretty easy but I guess i am stupid. Basically I would have a start position and stop position (many of these), and they would be converted to curved rectangles and follow in a cicrle around.
I would like to create a rectangle inside of a rectangle, starting approximately 15% inward from the right side of the other rectangle.
I know how to create rectangles with:
Code: var newHotRect:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); newHotRect.graphics.beginFill(0x00FF00); newHotRect.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100); addChild(newHotRect);
But how would I make another rectangle on top of that (the black one pictured) that is approximately 15% from the right?
I toyed around with .right, and .bottomright with no success. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? or even finding the x and y of the upper right or bottom right side of a rectangle?
how to respond when a rectangle hits another rectangle? I already know how to detect the collision, I just don't know how to respond to it. I'm just trying making a simple side-scrolling platform game where I have platforms I can walk on and bump against on all sides. I have searched everywhere and just can't find the tutorials I'm looking for.
I built one of those click-and-drag rotating images. basically you click on it and drag left to right and it will scroll through a series of images in the timeline to make it appear like the object in the images is rotating he problem is I want to be able to click-and-drag the mouse up-and-down, AND left-and-right. Right now I can program it to do one or the other, but not both. if i put left,right,up,AND down in the code it ignores one or the other.
