ActionScript 3.0 :: Constrain A Dragged Movie Clip To The Stage?
Jul 1, 2011
I have a movie clip (pano_mc) that I can click and drag left and right. When I drag it to the right, it stops dragging when the left edge of the clip reaches the left edge of the stage. This is great!
When I drag the image to the left, the right side edge if the clip does not stop at the right edge of the stage, but continues to click and drag until it reaches the left edge of the stage.
I need the left edge of the clip to stop at the left edge of the stage and the right edge of the clip to stop at the right edge of the stage.
Here is the code I have so far
The pano_mc is registered to the top right corner and is 7024px in length. I know it is a bit large. The axis_mc is anchored to the upper left.
[Code]....

how to constrain the Mouse movement along with the MovieClip I am dragging. In the following example, if Mouse travels outside of the box, it stops responding to MOUSE_UP. I would like Mouse to be constrained to the same area as ball during dragging, that is, when ball reaches a boundary Mouse will stop as well.
ActionScript Code:
var box:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
box.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000, .75);

Is there any way to set the depth level for a movie clip that is dragged to the stage, rather than created in Action Script.

I'm creating a small drag & drop activity, and I want to be able to check and see if the dragged movie clip is completely within the bounds of another movie clip (or at least in the bounds of a certain x/y zone on the main stage. I can't use dropTest because it returns true if any tiny bit of the movie clip overlaps with the dropTest movie clip.
I also thought of something that just checks the x/y coordinates of the dragged movie clip, but I'd need this to reflect a range of values rather than one coordinate. For instance, I'd want to return true if the movie clip's x is between 50-60 AND the y is between 50-60. I'm attaching a small graphic to illustrate in case my explanation isn't clear enough [URL]

I have the standard drag and drop functionality setup with the MOUSE_DOWN / MOUSE_UP commands. However, if I just click on the item and decide not to drag, it still executes the commands like it was dragged. Is there any code I can put in so that if they decide not to drag the movie clip, the function doesn't fire?

I need a few answers and pointers for my game [URL] First off, is it possible for a graphic to be hidden once a movie clip has been dragged over it? The plan is for the grid to be covered in question marks, until the users drags the small smiley over the same large smiley at which point the question mark will be hidden revealing the large smiley. The user then gets a 2nd chance to match up the other remaining smiley, if they fail to get the right smiley is it possible for the question mark image to appear back over the top of the smileys?

I think there is a simple solution to this question, just not simple enough for me to find it.Question:How do you constrain a TitleWindow in Flex 3 from being dragged off the screen/stage? Is there a way to restrict the TitleWindow to the viewing area? Example: Let's say I have an application that take 100% of the screen. Next, I create a TitleWindow via the PopUpManager. I can then proceed to click and hold (drag) that window off the screen, then release the mouse button. That window is now lost off-screen somewhere. Is there a way to keep the window from being dragged beyond the viewing area?

I have a number of instances of a MovieClip on stage. These are dragged onto the stage and arranged manually. Now, I would like to alter the instances during run time, using as2 code.
how can I name all the instances of the same MovieClip dragged onto the stage, using as2 code? (specify if the solution involves exporting the library MovieClip with an identifier name)

I have the AS to move pictures around (like a jigsaw puzzle i guess), im just struggling with setting boundaries so that the pieces cannot be dragged off the stage...
Im presuming setting the boundaries is a matter of adding X and Y values or similar.

First let me say I'm relatively new to AS 3 and I've scoured the Internet looking for a simple solution to no avail.Here's my general situation:1) I have dragged a movieclip with an instance name of a_mc onto the stage.2) On the first frame of the timeline I am importing a class file and calling its constructor:
Code:
import cardmaker.*;
var coverMaker:CoverMaker = new CoverMaker();

I have some (Eg. 10) Movie Clips on bottom of the Stage (aligned horizontally) with different sizes (different width & height). I want them to align vertically on middle of the stage with same gap (irrespective of their sizes) in between 2 Movie Clips. Is it possible using AS3 code?

I'm trying to use hitTest to detect if a dragged clip is over any one of 3 different targets - when it is I want that target to blink. And then when I drag off I'd like the blinking to stop. Make sense? I'm struggling a bit with the following code:
Code:
square_mc.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag();
for (z=1; z<4; z++) {
circle = _root["circle"+z+"_mc"];
[code]....
The "eval(circle)" part isn't really working.

I'm having a little trouble with the following code. When a user clicks on a button, I would like to add the corresponding movie clip to the stage, and remove the previous movie clip. This code works, but I know I am adding all the movie clips onto the stage at once, which isn't what I want. I don't want the movie clips to tween onto the stage, I want them to just play.
var arrNavigation:Array = [{button:about_mcButton, page:about_mc},{button:n2_mcButton, page:services_mc},
{button:n3_mcButton, page:products_mc}]
for(var i=0;i<arrNavigation.length;i++){

I'm having problems with a combobox that I've got set up to add a movie clip to the stage. What I'd like to happen is when a user selects an item from the comboBox the MovieClip is added to the stage. It kind of works but you have to click on the item twice for the MC to be added.Here's my code:
Code:
var IronsMC:Irons = new Irons();
product.addEventListener(ListEvent.ITEM_CLICK, ItemClickHandler);

I want to change variables on the main stage's code from within a movie clip.
Say for example, I want to change a variable called 'chair'
In AS2, this is how I would do it:
(on the main stage)
Code:
chair = 2;
(in the movie clip)
[Code].....
But all I get is a 1119 error saying 'Access of possibly undefined property chair through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.'

I'm trying to create a slideshow, using Flash CS3 and AS3. I have 6 thumbnails with buttons attached to them, and then 6 movieclip images placed on the stage manually, each on a different layer. Inside of each image MC (i.e. image01_mc is the instance name of the first image), the image is animated to enlarge outwards from the thumbnail to make a larger version of the image. Standard operating procedures, and all that. So far, the buttons successfully call upon the frame label inside the imageClips to enlarge.
The next part of the problem is that when clicking the next thumbnailButton, I want the currently enlarged image to diminish in size back to its thumbnail, so that the next image can take its place. I have a frame label inside those imageClips to make that animation.
I think, with my rudimentary understanding of AS3, that I need to find out which movie clip instance is on the stage, using If statements, with some code to gotoAndPlay the frame inside the imageClips that shrinks the image.
I've tried various combinations of If, Else if, getChildByName, etc, that I've found in numerous posts, but nothing seems to work.

I have a simple Flash website with the sections laid out the timeline with labels In one section called Media, I have a movie instance of a Flash movie gallery player. It loads just fine but when I leave that section to go to another, the sound of the video is still playing Visually it's not seen but the sound still plays.I suspect I need to put some sort of remove commamnd in the script but I'm having trouble getting the right result
