I wanna have my dragable movie clips able to close themselves just like you get in your operating system folder windows, but I cant seem to get a button inside the movie clip remove to remove itself.
View 9 RepliesI have a fla with a button that makes a movie clip appear. The movie clip is draggable (via the DragDrop class I created) and contains a small "close" button which I cannot get to work, so there is no way to make the movie clip dissapear.

So I've done a lot of research on this issue and I understand that buttons don't work when its nested inside a mc that has an event.My project is a map that pans/zooms and when you click on the green triangle next to Lansing, its supposed to pop up a window with information. The wierd thing about it is that it works when I use an onRollover event, but not an onRelease event.The map pan/zoom script was not written by myself btw.
Flash Map
Flash Map_Test
Flash map is the script with the pans/zoom. Flashmap_test is where I made my map with nested buttons.Then Flash Map just calls and brings in Flashmap_test.
I have a draggable movieclip, mc_PI on stage in which I have another movieclip, mc_PIcontainer into which I load an image.I then place a few buttons, btn_Ant1, btn_Ant2, etc. inside mc_PI.mc_PI drags just fine within the bounds I specify, but I cannot click on any of the buttons that are located inside mc_PI.I need the buttons to be inside mc_PI, because I need them to drag along with the image located in mc_PI.mcPIcontainer.[code]
View 11 RepliesI have a MovieClip that I want the user to be able to drag inside the stage, but I don't want it to be able to move outside the stage. Currently I'm using this._parent.startDrag(); to allow the MC to be dragged, but I don't know how to stop it from being dragged outside the frame.
View 1 RepliesI am building a click through presentation that has some small text in it. To maintain the design and allow for readability, I have added a zoom feature.Here is the structure of the movie,Stage - contains pages movie clip and forward/reverse click buttons for changing pagesThere is a button at the _root level that uses a tweener to scale the pages_mc up to 170%. When this is clicked, it allows the pages to be dragged around the screen so you can look at different sections. When you click the button again, it returns the pages back to their original size stops drag.My problem is, on the pages, there are buttons with links to external sites. Once startDrag has been invoked, I cannot touch the buttons inside the movie clip. Is there a way to make these buttons work?
Code below
magUp_btn.onRelease = function() { this._visible = false; TweenLite.to(pages_mc, .25, {_x:-250, _y:-193, _xscale:170, _yscale:170}); TweenLite.to(magUp_mc, .75, {_alpha:0});

The problem is it doesn't.

View 8 RepliesWhy is it that when I have button in a movie clip and that movieclip is a draggable object the button becomes inactive? How can I have both the button and the movieclip draggable and the button continue to function. Below is the script I have for the draggable movieclip, which has the button contained within that:

startDrag(_root.dragObject);

I am a super noob at actionscript. And I want my button to open a movieclip and then close the movieclip when clicked on again. I have no idea what to add after that here is the code I have for the button so far.....this button opens it.
on(release){
this.linemc5.gotoAndPlay("ear");
}
and this is another button I made that can close it, but I want it to be in the same button rather than seperate.
on(release){
this.linemc5.gotoAndPlay("earclose");
}
I have a Button that is inside MovieClip1 which is inside MovieClip2; yet when i click the Button it doesn't dispatch Event.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to create a pseudo OS within flash. It's for a website. Essentially there will be "files" to click that that open up draggable windows, just like a mac/pc/linux etc GUI. For example; there could be files for "about, gallery, info, contact" or whatever else that when clicked would open up scrollable/draggable/closeable windows with the content in them.
I'm having serious problems finding any documentation or tutorials on this, even though I'm pretty sure this kind of thing has been used often. My main hang up right now is draggable scrollpanes. Is it possible to do? I can't seem to figure it out.
I'm really stuck on the draggable scrollpanes I have movie clips in place of the scroll panes right now. I wasn't sure on how to actually open the movie clips with a button press so I just placed the two movie clips off the stage, and when one of the two buttons on the stage is pressed, it moves one of the clips onto the stage (thats a ghetto way of doing it, but I'm not sure on how to do it a better way). The clips are draggable with transparency and levels so whatever your dragging becomes slightly transparent and moves to the top level. Aside from my scrollpane problem, I also have no idea how to get the clips to close or move off the stage...

View 3 RepliesI have a button inside another button which is inside a movieclip. *whew*I have it so that when you click on the movieclip, a dialog box pops up.

I have a button inside a movieclip, to which I would like to apply a rollover function. When rolled over, this button (inside MOVIECLIP 1) would make (MOVIECLIP 2) jump to second frame.

The problem here is I am able to drag the MC (final) but unable to input text in the input text box associated with the MC.
I have a draggable popup window that has a title bar and an iframe in its content area. The iframe has a flash object embedded in it. It works great in all browser except for IE8 (IE7 and IE9 work fine). IE8 has a bad drawing problem when the window is being moved. Here's an example:Open the example in IE8, or if you're using IE9, hit F12 for developer tools, then select Browser Mode: IE8 using IE8 Standards.Drag the window around quickly and you'll see a very bad redraw of the iframe.

I have this four draggable movieclips. I have able to drag the green bar within the gray bar and the dynamic percentage text increase/decrease accordingly.
The program should make the second draggable determine the percentage of the first (100 - current value) and make it the basis for the other 3 draggable.
Example:
if the 1st draggable will be 75%. the other 25% will be divided by the other 3 draggables.
The 3rd draggable determine the 2nd percentage (100 - current value) and make it the basis for the other 2 draggable and so on.
When I drag the 1st draggable the other 3 is drag & animated accordingly but I cannot drag the 2nd, 3rd and 4th draggable.

I know that startDrag function allow a movieclip to be draggable on the stage. But what I'm trying to achieve here is that I want that certain movieclip to be draggable on a limited space.

The white area is the stage and the green square is the draggable movieclip while the gray rectangle is its draggable limit.

I've got a movieClip with some Actionscript applied to it (to make it rotate, stop onMouseOver, and continue onMouseOut).Now, I basically want a button inside that movie clip - applied to the object that's spinning.Whenever I put the button inside the movieClip, Flash doesn't recognise it. According to the SWF, the button doesn't exist.So, how do I get a button in a movieClip that has Actionscript applied to it?Or, am I going about this the wrong way and there's an obvious answer that I'm missing?(My idea is, for those who watch Stargate, to have the inner chevron ring spin, for it to stop spinning onMouseOver and then have the user click a chevron
