ActionScript 3.0 :: Convert An Old "eyes Follow Cursor" Script To It?
May 17, 2010
I want to use and old AS1/AS2 script to AS3. It makes the eyes follow cursor effect, but with the particularity that is not based on a round eye that rotates, but in a pupil MovieClip that actually follows the cursor, but is constrained to the shape of another MovieClip.
I know how to make something follow the cursor (e.g. a ball that moves where your cursor does). However, I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to do what I need to for an animation, namely make eyes follow a cursor.Here's the situation: I need to make a graphic (the eye in the middle of the eyeball) follow the cursor (i.e. look up, look left, look in any number of diagonal directions) depending on where the user moves the cursor. But the eyes, obviously, need to stay put in one static spot and move in a very limited region (the entire white part of the eye, but not beyond it).
Furthermore, the eyes start out staring at the user. How do I additionally make them dart to the edges where they'll be looking around once the cursor is moved?
I have created a small flash movie where the eyes of the character follow the cursor. Its based on this one here Only problem is, it only works while the mouse is actually over the movie. Is there any way to increase the sensitive area to the whole screen without increasing the actual size of the movie?
make eyes move and follow a mouse on the _x and _y axis, but the eye needs constrained with in an eye socket.I have used two mc to constrain while mousedown.
So, I figured out how to make eyes follow the mouse on the stage, I need the eyes to follow off stage as well (banner ad) I have been looking high and low with little luck until now.. This guys cooked up a way to track the mouse off stage with the help of AC3 only -> Example My questions is, is it possible to mix these two together?
what i want to happen is have images in a movie clip scroll up and down but i don't want to have to move the mouse to the top of the page to see the top image
what i want to happen is have images in a movie clip scroll up and down but i don't want to have to move the mouse to the top of the page to see the top image here is my code so far
I have some info boxes that show up upon MOUSE_OVER of an MC. I set their position to mouseX and mouseY once I want them to appear. The problem is that when I mouse over something near the edge of my stage, the info box appears beyond the stage's bounds. Is there a way I can contrain the infobox X,Y so that it does not go off the state?
Right now, this is how I define the X,Y of the text box (pretty simple).
I'm trying to make a movie clip follow my mouse. I have that working. But I want to designate a specific area where this the following of the cursor happens. Outside of this area the house would be visible and functional normally. startDrag("myMovieclip", true); Mouse.hide();
So far I have this code for an object to follow the cursor on stage and change direction. Is it possible for the amount of objects to increase over time to follow the cursor?
In my file, I've replaced the cursor with a custom cursor of a pencil.It roams around the screen and on mouse over, triggers various actions. While it moves, I'd really like it to draw, so the user has more of an active role in the narrative. Is there a way to do this?
I want to make a mc stick to a cursor from the start and then drop the mc.So far I know how to make a mc follow the cursor and drag and drop a mc.I need an AS3 code for "dropping" a mc at a position (cursor must transform into regular arrow again)The position the cursor needs to snap to is another mc - it should be the nearest, so the distance needs to be measured. So the position is not a grid, but the mc's is can be dropped onto are always on the same positions.
I'm fairly new to using ActionScript to move MovieClips around. I'd like to have a movieclip follow my mouse around the screen (like a mouse cursor). I put one instance of the MC on my stage, with an instance name of 'a', without quotes. (identifier is 'box', class is 'boxClass', without quotes.)
[Code]...
This doesn't work, which should be apparent since I'm posting this. (lol) How can I tell my movieClip to follow the user's mouse?
I have a menu for a website in flash where, an mc moves up and down and shoots...so that when the projectile MC hits a button, it clicks it.
1.) How do I make it so that the MC follows the mouse (like a custom cursor)..but is restricted to only going vertically
2.) how would you make it so that the mc can shoot anywhere....but when the fired MC hits a button, it acts as if it was clicked? My AS knowledge...is..very basic...so if you have any free time could you explain the codes?...so that I can learn from this...rather then just stealing your codes... but..if you want to just let me copy and paste...thats cool too
Basically I just want a really simple image where the eyes follow the mouse and blink occasionally (not an animated/tweened blink even... just a 3 frame animation). I have managed to create both independently, but I am having alot of trouble making them work at the same time. My code is pretty much copy/pasted from different tutorials. I know why its not working, but I cant wrap my head around fixing it. (eyes following mouse needs actionscript to loop whereas the blinking needs a stop action).
I found this tutorial [URL] and is wondering if I could limit the area where the clip can follow? I'm planning to have my cartoon's EYEBALLS follow the mouse move.
We have training made in Flash and text are populated from XML files. Now our client want to make training compatible to one of the screen reading software "Window-eyes".We have tried out different options but it is not working.We have made the course compatible to "Jaws" but not able to make it compatible to "Window-eye".....
So I have real time video stream. With 1 (one) person on It . It Is Black and White, I need to be able to capture this persons eyes and mouth (direction (at least X,Y), state (at least opened or closed) )
So Is there any fast library(s) for finding human eyes and mouth in Flash in such case? (pure Actionscript or HaxeJavaC++C port in SWC form.. What do I know Is - some libs are described in this presentation [URL].. Grate example for eyes is here http://play.blog2t.net/files/black-or-white/
I am making use of a custom cursor on itemRenderers in a List component. The custom cursor works just fine except when I mouse over the Text component which is a child of the itemRenderer at which point I get two cursors, the custom and an iBar one on top of the other.Here's the code:
so the custom cursor I'm using works on the main timeline of my project. However, there are buttons in the application that load in movie clip pop-up windows and when this happens the cursor stays on the main timeline behind the movie clip resluting in the cursor not being seen. This is the code I'm currently using:
Working on a small kiosk app that runs in Firefox for Ubuntu. Mouse.hide() works for everything else, but the cursor is showing up in Firefox for Ubuntu
Is it possible to make a custom cursor with restraints (meaning you only see the cursor when you put your mouse in a certain spot, by defining both the max and min of the x & y), that is placed inside a movie clip; then make the movie clip move on the stage when you click certain buttons.
I am trying to make a simple game in flash it is a target shooting game i would like to make it so that the mouse cursor dissapears and a crosshair is shown as the cursor (if you get what i mean). I have created the crosshair and made it into a graphic symbol called: "crosshair" so what is the script i need to make it the cursor for the game
in the swf, when my mouse reaches a dynamic text box, the cursor always changes to the 'I' cursor and the text can be highlighted.how to prevent this from occurring?
