ActionScript 3.0 :: CurveTo() With From Mousedown To The MouseX, Mouse Y
Oct 24, 2011
Anybody got a method of drawing a line from the mouse down point to the mouses current position.
But taking into account the direction the mouse is moving in to make the curve look more natural and directional.
This is what i have currently which is basic and rubbish:
catapultLine.graphics.moveTo(startX, startY);
catapultLine.graphics.curveTo(Main.gameStage.mouse X/3, Main.gameStage.mouseY/3,Main.gameStage.mouseX, Main.gameStage.mouseY);

DisplayObject's have MouseX and MouseY getters. This is very helpful sometimes.Is there a way to easily query input state variables such as MouseDown or KeyDown?If not, I suppose I need to add listeners for these events, which is fine.
I am just wondering:why MouseX and MouseY get special treatment without a listener; if there are other getters for input data without listeners that I don't know about in other parts of as3.

I have built a Air 2/Flex 4 kiosk application with Flash Builder 4. Currently I am implementing a touch screen browser to enable users to navigate company training videos. In an attempt to improve the usability of the website on the touchscreen I have placed the HTML component in an adaption of Doug McCune's DragScrollingCanvas (updated to use the flex 4 'Scroller' component) to allow users to scroll the webpage by dragging their finger across the screen. The mouseDown event is used to start scrolling the viewport.
In addition the webpage was modified to disable text selection with the following css:
[Code]...
As an alternative I also tried adding a group container with the same dimensions as the HTMLLoader to detect the mouseDown events (so that the group container and HTMLLoader have the same Dragable parent container) and was able to capture mouseDown events and scroll the viewport as expected. However as the mouse event is handled by the group container, I am now unable to navigate the webpage.

I have a parent sprite that contains several child sprites. I have attached mouse click and mouse down event amongst others to the parent sprite. And in the listeners I check which child has been targeted using the "event.target" property. However It seems that the mouse click event does not trigger for some reason. Is it possible that the mouse down event is eating up the click event. Is this a know issue in as3 and is there a possible workaround?

I am using Senocular's code to dynamically create part of a circle using curveto.I am wondering how to change the start point, like where the circle outline starts. It is currently starting on the right of the circle, I would like it to start on top. How would I go about doing that?Here is Senocular's code:
Code:
// x: circles center x, y: circles center y
// a1: first angle, a2: angle to draw to, r: radius

LineTo() and curveTo() provide basic level drawing. However, the lines these functions produce look like they were drawn by the line or pen tools. Is there any way, through either existing functions or through modifying current ones, that I could made the drawings done through actionscript look like they were drawn using the brush tool?
My first thought was to see if this was in default actionscript and could not find it. My second was to see if someone had already created the class, and while for a time I thought someone had, I lost the link . I guess I could always create the class myself, but I honestly have no starting point (like what algorithm flash uses to create its brushstrokes) and don't want to waste my time if something similar is already in existence.

Basically I'm using the curveTo function to draw some lines for flight paths, what I'm not sure how to do is dynamically finding the curve points, so for example if you look at the ryan air site: [URL]
current_line.graphics.curveTo(curveX, curveY, map.mouseX, map.mouseY);
I need to find the curveX and curveY

I have this mc that responds to mouseX , only the mc is very short in frames, it's only 25 frames long. This way the mouseX is only the first 25 pixels of my stage, so it only responds to that. Is there any way I can multiply this value to, let's say, 20 times?

mouseX isn't being changed by me (and can't be since it's read-only), there isn't any other code in this object since I've only just started with this project.

if I want to use mouseX and mouseY in my class whats the most effective way to do this?

I am making a map of the united states where I would like the map to pan to that state and then zoom into that state when that state is clicked. I have looked over a lot of tutorials, but they all seem to do a little more then I need. I would have thought it was a simple math equation using the mouseX and mouseY with the stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight, but I have no been able to figure out the math.

I am trying to get a MC to stay within certain boundaries of the stage. I want it to appear as if it was in a rectangle. It moves along the x axis. Think of a paddle in a basic pong game.What this code does is moves the paddleMC to the left coordinate when the mouse is moved, then gets stuck there.Is there any way to set the boundaries for mc on the x axis when controlled by the mouse?here is my code.mcPaddle is the movieclip I'm trying to set the boundaries for.
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, movePaddle);
function movePaddle(event:MouseEvent):void

I'm a non-3D guy with a 3D problem to solve. I have a character moving around in 3D space (his Z value is fixed, like a 2D side-scroller with 3D graphics). He's supposed to follow the mouse. But because the mouse's Z is not the same as the character's, I obviously can't just set his Z to that of the mouse. I'm pretty sure I need to use the distance between the character and the camera when calculating the character's new X position. But I'm not the mathiest person around, and the wiki article on 3D projection ([URL]) made me a little dizzy. All I know is I need to do the inverse of what that article describes.
I'm not using any 3D engines. I've found posts about certain versions of PaperVision that actually have a method built into the Camera class to do exactly this (Camera.unproject()). I'm going to attempt to dig into that to see if I can pull out the formula that I need. But in the meantime I thought I would pick the brains of you brilliant Kirupians.

I'm just starting out with AS3, so I'm trying my hand as some of the more basic drawing functions, to try and get a handle on them. The problem I've hit is using 'curveTo' to create a smooth curve is creating some very poor aliasing results. Here is an example: [URL]
The first part (which is actually on the right) is a very simple curve from 50,50 to 100,100, through 100,50. I would have expected the end points of the line to be single pixel width, but it's aliased over two pixels.
The second part (on the left) shows why this is a problem for me. I'm trying to draw a basic shape outline with a semi-circle at the top, but it really doesn't look great (it looks shifted half a pixel to the left relative to the rest of the shape).

What I am trying to do here is control a movie clip with the mouse by setting the coordinates of one equal to those of the other. This is the code I have for that movie clip:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code].....
I get no errors whatsoever from this, but when I test it, I see the movie clip that I'm trying to control move with the general direction of my mouse movements, but completely offset from the mouse. Additionally, the movie clip flashes between four different positions constantly, and the output window traces the following four sets of coordinates even when I keep the mouse in one place:
Mouse Coordinates: 160,-110
Mouse Coordinates: 229,112
Mouse Coordinates: 237,368
Mouse Coordinates: 168,146
I'd like to know why there would be several sets of coordinates even when the mouse is stationary, and what I can do to fix this issue..

I have an object that I want to go to the mouse's pointer location when it clicks on a button, but instead of it being instant I want it to have some sort of a delay, like a walking motion. I've got pretty far but I can't get the logic out of it.
ActionScript Code:
game_area.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, moveCharacter);
// moves the character to the specified click point in a delay

Not sure if I'm missing sth or is it just a bug. I have a movieclip on stage, it's a simple rectangle drawn with a rect tool (no stroke) I add an event listener to trace out the mouseX, works OK so far. When I increase its width the mouseX traces wrong values. Here's a sample code:

I've got a grid of images which are added to a imagecontainer(Sprite) in a class. When I click a button, the imagecontainer gets tweened(scaled) to 0.2 Now I would like to start dragging around the images. on mouse-down I add an enterFrame Event:
[Code]...
Unfortunately the image is never on the mouseposition but has a increasing/decreasing offset to the mouse pointer.The alternative, startDrag/stopDrag works perfectly, but I stll need the mouseX/mouseY for placing the image on a grid.I tried also parent.mouseX, no luck with that.Why is this happening? I thought mouseX/mouseY is always depending on the stage-dimension.

This might be irritating simple. I am trying to convert some code from actionscript to cocos2d. I am quite new to actionscript and would like to know if there is a cocos2d function for mouseX/mouseY. If not, what would be the equivalent.

I need to do something and I don't know if it's possible... in a proper way.
1 - I have an FULLSCREEN application that extends to two monitors in a Windows system.
2 - The graphic card is extending the single desktop to the two monitors, so the fullscreen fits everything correctly.
3 - Only one monitor is interactivity-enabled, with an interactive touch-sensitive foil on it, which works great.
4 - The second monitor is interactivity-disabled, it just displays stuff depending on what happens on the first monitor.
The Problem: The interactive foil on the interactivity-enabled monitor responds as if it is the *whole monitor*. But it only covers one monitor!! The *whole monitor*, are the two screens put together. I obviously can't cut the interactive foil in 2, and then stretch the two parts to fill a monitor each... So if one touches beyond 50% of the foil's width, the touch event will actually occur in the second monitor!
A fact for the solution is - if all Mouse Events occur with mouseX divided by 2, everything will work fine! How to make all Mouse Events's mouseX be divided by 2? Is there a way to do that in the core of the actionscript MouseEvents handling?
