ActionScript 3.0 :: Detecting Mouse_OUT On Moving Object?
Sep 13, 2011
I'm working on something where when a user places their mouse over a horse in a race, it will display the horse's name and post position. This works great and has a Mouse_OUT which then removes the display of the name/post position. However, I've noticed that if I place my mouse over a horse and leave it there and said horse moves away from underneath where my mouse was, the name/post position become stuck on the screen until you mouse over that horse again.
Actionscript Code:
horse1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, showPost1, false, 0, true);horse1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, hidePost1, false, 0, true);function
[code].....

Heres what I am doing:
I have a movie clip and when I click on it, it creates another movie clip. Great.
Lets call these mc1 and mcCreate.
The problem is that I want the mcCreate to stay until I have clicked something else than mc1.
I know I can use mouse out events but is there a way to detect that the object has lost the mouses focus?

I've used this code to detect a hit between a specific object and a certain MC
Code:
if(this.hitTest(_root.ufo)){
Now I want to know if its possible to detect collisions with everything except (ignore) certain MCs because I only have 3 MCS I don't want it to care about, but there will be about 200 or more I want it to care for.

I have an Object that has several parameters. In this case they are Arrays. For example: myObject.Name, myObject.Description (myObject.Name is an Array that contains a bunch of names)How do you detect all the parameters that are attached to the object without having to use the debugger for each instance?

I am trying to do a apply a tween for the width property on a MovieClip Object but every time it changes the width and the position too, and I don't want that. I want to change the width going to one side without changing the x and y of the object.
I tried both of thes and they gave the same result.
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "scaleX", Strong.easeOut, 1, 1.5,20,true);
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "width", Strong.easeOut, 20, 200,20,true);
I think it is applying the transformation according to a center of the movie clip. but I don't know how it can be changed.

Im working on a small project and it involves a guy which you move with the arrow keys. The arrow keys add to his x, y velocities and his position is updated accordingly. How can i get this man to grab onto an object and spin around it (like when you grab pole and letting your momentum swing you around) . I can make him grab the object but I dont know how to modify his x,y speeds to simulate the arc.

I'm trying to figure out when a child is added to a movieclip "x", and handling/detouring this operation from withing this "x" movieclip.
I tried overriding addChild and addChildAt at with no prevail. The movieclips that are placed on the stage via flash still don't trigger addChild or addChildAt. However, tracing this.numChildren shows '2' correctly.

I am trying to create a system for a Tower Defense that detects if an tower or some structure can be placed on the grid.
The conditions are that the grid must be free of any structures and within the area that allows structures to be built (not on enemy path). I've seen many games do this already, so there's probably something out there. I just can't find it, although I understand the logic.

I'm trying to program this code:
public function enemiesDie(){
enemyLoop: for (var k:int = enemies.length -1;k>= 0; k--){
bulletLoop: for (var i:int = bullets.length -1; i>=0; i--){
if (enemies[k].hitTestObject(bullets[i])){
trace("hit");

To detect when a bullet hits an enemy in a game I'm trying to make and I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1006: hitTestObject is not a function.

Okay, in as3 when you click, the object on the highest layer will be clicked on. I want someone to press the space bar and have the objects on the screen to check to see if it is touching a point.So I first tried hittest...
if (this.hitTest(myPoint)){
play();
}
Now the problem was objects behind other ones were thinking they were being "clicked" on.

I am trying to have a local shared object in flash to detect whether a user is a new user or a returning user. If they are a new user I want to do newUser function and if they are a previous user I want to do a previousUser function. This should all be happening on an onEnterFrame.
Here is my code I have so far:
//shared object - cookie
newUser_test = SharedObject.getLocal("newUser");
newUser.text = newUser_test.data.title = "new user";
newUser.text.onEnterFrame = function () {
newUser.text = "new user";
} newUser.text.onEnterFrame = function(){
newUser.text = newUser_test.data.title = "previous user";
newUser_test.flush();
}

I need some AS2 actionscript that I can place on a button to move it to the front on rollover. and move it to the back on rollout.I have two identical buttons on a layer in my timeline. When you roll over a button a larger text box appears ontop of it. The text box is the rollover state on the button, which is a button symbol. This works great in itself, but the problem is that the buttons are place close together and when one button gets rolled over and the text box encroaches on the other button's space. I always want the text box and button you are rolling over to appear in front of the other buttons that are on that layer. But that's not possible, since one button will be in front and one will be behind. Is there some AS2 actionscript that I can place on each of the buttons to move the button you roll over to the front?

I'm new to Flash and just started working on an animated short. In one of the sequences, I realized too late that an object was too far left in the frame and needed to be moved back. Is there a way to do that in all of the keyframes at once rather than doing it one at a time? The thing that needs to be moved is a .png file, not a symbol.

i'm trying to use actionscript so i can make an object move up and down the Y axis by inputing numbers into a textbox. However at the moment my object starts in the centre and then when i enter a number it only goes down, and im not too sure how i can use negative numbers to make it travel up the y axis. I was thinking of using the numbers -10 - 10 so -10 would go down and 10 go up. Here is my code
Actionscript Code:

i'm trying to use code so if i type in -10 to 10 the object will move up or down the y axis. The code i'm using at the moment calculates how far to move it from the number inputed, then it removes te object and places it in the required position. However doing the removeChild technique messes up when having many on the stage. I was wondering if anyone knew a way of calculating the rating and then using it to move the object on the stage without removing it and adding it. Here is the code i'm using to move it. OR a way in which i can remove certain objects on the stage using remove child

im having trouble getting this rotation function down pat. i have a turret that should be rotating towards another moving object. it should find the shortest direction to rotate. basically what ive done is converted action script rotation from using -1 -> -179 to 180 -> 359. but now im having issues when the object it is tracking passes over the zero degree point. the turrent then rotates around the other way. here is the code. my mind is getting a little boggled. it is being passed the x difference between the objects, and the y difference

i have a character_mc that moves on mouse click, a logtxt dyanamic text box and a mc named $box. The camera follows the character and when the log and $ boxes are staying put.
I want them to stay on the same point on the stage(meaning I want them to stay at the same place on the camera) I was wondering what i might do for this? I have tried to put them in a movie clip but it doesn't really seam like it worked well so i discarded the idea.
Heres the code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

'm putting together a flash animation of approx five productsEach picture is above the other so the flash file is tall roduct 1 at the top product 2 underneath 3 underneath that etcThe whole thing will scroll up and down vertically to display each appropriate pictureI need 5 buttons each one would move the strip of images up and down vertically to the correct location and I was wondering if this would be possible by using actionscript to move and define the position on the long strip of images.I.e when product 1 button is pressed, scroll the strip up to show product 1 picture. When product 4 button is pressed, scroll the same strip down to display product 4..For example, each button script might read something likeonRelease - scroll the image bar to y position(obviously a different position for each button)would this be feesable? I hope somebody understands what I mean, I've seen these type of flash 'portfolio' type scroll bars quite a few times but I'm not sure how to go about putting one together, is this the best way?
