URL...I'm wondering if it's possible to confine the mouse's location, on drag, to the shape it is dragging so that when the dragged shape stops at the boundary, it's not possible to continue to drag the cursor away from the shape (until the mouse is released).
View 2 RepliesI 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'm facing another problem, this time I wan't to move a object around inside a shape.The red/orange rectangle is the supposed to be dragged around inside the gray shape,the rectangle shouldn't ever be outside the shape.
View 5 RepliesI have a custom cursor in my Flash document. Now that it is all set up, I want to specify an area that it can be in and nowhere else. Basically, I want to keep it in my navigation area on the top of the stage and not be able to go below it to the rest of the stage.I don't know if it will help or not, but I have the following as my custom cursor code:[code]
View 3 RepliesI have a drag and drop SWF. What I want to happen is when they drag a certain shape to the correct spot, some text displays depending on what shape they dragged across but I have this error come up. Can any one tell me how to fix it ??

I have 4 shapes which fit into 4 boxes and would like to modify my code so when a shape is placed in the correct box a movie clip appears e.g. if a triangle is placed into a triangle shape the movieclip for triangle appears. if the shape is placed into the wrong box a message appears saying try again.
View 9 RepliesI have a relatively simple drag and drop function. When the target is hit, the shape stays on it. Otherwise, it goes back to its original place.
ActionScript Code:
square_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
square_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.startDrag(true);
event.target.parent.addChild(event.target);
[Code] .....
The slide function is supposed to bring the shape back to its origin (passx and passy are the coordinates), through an Enterframe event. It works fine, but it only works once. And if I drop the shape, if I pick it up again, it's impossible to "cancel" this action (which means the shape keeps going back to the origin). I tried removeEventListener but no luck.
I have designed a menu that When you mouse over it, a custom cursor appears. When you mouse down it disappears and when you mouse up it returns. If you happen to mouse down and then drag the mouse off of the menu (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up outside the menu, the custom cursor disappears. All good. The only issue is: If you happen to mouse down on the menu and then drag the mouse off of the menu AND off of the stage, i.e the SWF (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up completely off of the stage, the custom cursor appears at the point it left the menu. I have tried to fix this using MOUSE_LEAVE but this dosnt work when the mouse button is pressed down. I have attached an FLA, SWF and the AS below.
Code:
stop();
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;

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'm a bit boggled by a MouseEvent/layering problem.
I have a filled Shape, with alpha 0.5, on top of a Sprite. The Sprite has various MouseEvent listeners attached to it.
I'd like the user to be able to click on the Sprite. Unfortunately, Flash doesn't pass the events to the Sprite. (It does, of course, if the shape is unfilled.)
Is there any way to tell Flash to treat this object like an unfilled object, rather than a filled one, for the purpose of MouseEvents?
how i can confine the text within the boundaries of the input text field instead of restricting to limited characters? I find that restricting to limited characters is a bit problematic as it depends on the number of words the user types on it.
View 1 RepliesI want to make an editor like this site. [URL] If you browse this link you will find "Button. If you press this button you will navigate to a editor to design your layout.

View 3 Repliesi have some script that creates a rotating video wall/carousel effect that rotates left and right depending on where the mouse is.
I want the carousel to only rotate when the mouse is down and dragging - but just can't seem to work out what i need to change.
how do I define the drag action instead of the current +x & -x co-ordinates??
here is the full script for the entire carousel
Code:
*/
import org.papervision3d.scenes.*;
import org.papervision3d.cameras.*;
import org.papervision3d.objects.*;
[Code].....
but just seems to give me errors - would that be because i haven't defined anything else to do with the dragging? how do I declare the carousel is to stop on mouse up?
am i even looking in the right place? does the rotation of the carousel start elsewhere?
I tried to translate this old code into actionscript 3, but unfortunately the new code doesn't work anymore.The mouse events of the old code are general, not linked to a movieclip (which I did in the new code with the addEventListeners). How can you do this with as3? Something like Stage.addEventListener? (but then I got an error feedback from flash, so it must be done differently).I also don't know how to translate the onMouseUp part. Maybe with a removeListener?
old code:
Actionscript Code:
import com.flashcreations.utils.MathExtra;onMouseDown = function() { // define this

How do I rotate an object with the mouse after I have dragged the object with mouse.ssentially, I want to move the object with the mouse and then rotate it with another mouse click. Right now the object is moving and rotating at the sime time.
View 6 RepliesI'm new to AS3 and I have a square(1200w) that's bigger than the stage(200w). Right now you can keep dragging it left and right as far as you possibly can. How can I set a imit/boundry to how much of the square you can drag? So that it can't be dragged beyond it's maximum width?Here's an image
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(e:MouseEvent) {

For example there are 2 movieclips on the stage, Parent and Child. I want to be able to drag the parent clip around with the MouseDown event.I also want an event to fire on the MouseClick event on the Child clip. But i only want this MouseClick to happen the user clicks on the Child clip, and not when the MouseUp event fires after the user has finished dragging?Is there something that defines where the mouseup has originated in the Childs MouseClick event handler?
View 2 RepliesMy goal is to make it so that when the user clicks and drags the disc (whether it be click anywhere on the stage or clicking on the disc itself), the disk will turn according to where the mouse goes.
I've used this tutorial [URL] to make a simple arrow move when the mouse does to test the code and see if it works, and it does. But now i'm trying to figure out how to make it so it will only move when I drag the mouse. I've tried things like "onClipEvent (mouseDown)" and such but they don't drag the clip.
how to get the arrow/disc to drag (and eventually, play a sound, but I will worry about that later),
code on MC:
Code:
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
x = this._xmouse;
y = this._ymouse*-1;

What i'm trying to do is make a drag able square and use a different cursor that I made to do so. It worked fine until I added the code for the cursor.[code]...

I have builded a 3d carousel following the tutorial and managed to insert it properly in my site. (great great tutroials, really)What i wanted to change though if possible, is that i would like the carousel to spin only when dragged by the mouse. I have searched alot of forums for days but didnt manage to find a script to include or substitute to achieve this.
View 13 RepliesFor a project I am am working on I need a pan effect like the one in URL...Now I was just wondering how to do this. There are various ways I can think off to make the background move according to mouse movement, but nothing I have done comes close to the smoothness in URL...More specifically, I can trigger an event when mouse in moved left/right/up/down in the pressed down stage - this event can tween the background in any direction required. But how do I stop the tween movement when the mouse is released. Since I have asked the background to tween from one its central value to say its rightmost/leftmost value, how do I make it stop in the middle of the tween when the mouse is released.

I have a 40 frame animation that in sequence rotates an image. That I need to add a mouse drag function so I can scrub through the images like here
http:[url].....
I am trying to make it so when the mouse leaves the stage it stops the drag, but no matter what I do it does not work, the function I am trying to do it in is onMouseLeave();
Here is my code and the corresponding code:
Code:
import fl.controls.Slider;
import fl.events.SliderEvent;
import flash.ui.Mouse;
[Code]....
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Base extends MovieClip {
public var baseHP:int = 50;
var newRect:Shape = new Shape();
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Shape. 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Shape. What does it mean by "undefined method"? I am somewhat of a newby, so sorry if there are any stupid errors
Whenever I add shape hints to a shape tween the shape disappears in the between frames. I am using CS5 on Vista. I using files from [URL]to practice.
