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?
View 3 RepliesI'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 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]
Can i create a custom text animation or something. Ofcourse without involving variables. And can i use this Movie clip in various projects. What am i supposed to do, save it and keep it as a .fla or can the movie clip alone be saved and imported into various projects ?
View 5 RepliesIs there any way to set the depth level for a movie clip that is dragged to the stage, rather than created in Action Script.
View 10 RepliesI 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.

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?

View 3 Repliesis there a way to scope instances that haven't been instanced in the first frame of the movie?I got brave and nested my btn_mc clips inside a nav_mc.On an action layer in the first frame of my timeline I have:
_root.nav_mc.btn1_mc.gotoAndPlay("start");
for example.In the nav_mc timeline this works if and ONLY if the btn1_mc instance is on the first frame of the nav_mc timeline.I'm trying to update my skillz and put everything in the first frame of the root timeline rather than doing the backasswards syntax on the mc itself this (onPress) which really confused me for about five years.
I use something like this code to detect the speed of the movement of a dragged object
PHP Code:
if (!go) {
this["position_"+i] = this._y;
i++;[code]....
This way I can find in what direction the mouse vertically has moved and at what speed. The problem is that every once in a while the speed will be in the opposite direction. What do people use to detect the direction of the movement of the mouse?
I'm doing a rather fancy button with up,down,rollover,rollout,and static states, something the standard flash button structure isn't capable of as far as I can tell, I've tried it.
Here's the setup: My main timeline has a series of frames with stop(): scripts, and each frame has a movie clip representing what should happen during that state: still, rollover, rollout, mousedown, mouseup I can't get the mouseup event to work.

I have an animated movie clip on my stage with aprox 100 frames with a stop action on the movie clip's timeline frame 1.

View 3 Replieshow to detect if an animation in a movie clip stops?I make myself clear:I have a movie clip with different animations which I call from the stage with mc.gotoAndPlay("frame label"). Being these animation one after another in the timeline I call a stop() function to avoid the animation after to begin without being called.
Now, on the stage I want to play one of these animations and when this stops I want to make something happen.Is there an event that tells me "this movie clip is not 'animating' anymore"?
I've got a FLV file (test.flv) in a movie clip playing on my timeline with controls for viewers to jump around if they'd like, does anyone know of a way that when the FLV movie clip comes to an end, it will detect this and continue on with the timeline?

View 2 RepliesThere is a bad gap in my knowledge with Event Dispatch and Event architecture, and this problem proves it. I've been getting nowhere on this problem for two days, I've posted everything to my Flash site. Go here, please: [URL] Click on "Flash Banners" The two thumbnails represent two different classes. Each class is identical. Both are "extends Movie Clip" classes. Tweeners of various types control the hover and click methods. URL Loaders load the thumnails which I then wrap in MC's and make them buttonMode = true, etc. Hover and click to load the Banners on the thumbnails.
I can't send an event from the Eagle movie clip or the T2D movie clip to tell the other to fade out. Both Banner classes are instantiated through a separate Base class. I'm sure this has to be an Event Dispatch from one MC to another and that it can't be done by the Base class. how I can send an Event or Event Dispatch and what the code structure is so one movie clip can in one class can tell the other movie clip in the other class to disappear while it's neighbour is playing. I'm happy to post code or explain / clarify anything that's not clear.
I've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.
