ActionScript 3.0 :: Drag & Drop Outside Of The Stage
Jan 20, 2011
I have developed a simple drag and drop learning object, which works exactly as I intend it too except for one small problem. I have a selection of labels and each one has its own X and Y variables; now when I drag a label if I hit the target then it is dropped into place and if I miss my target it calls the Number variable for the X and Y of the MovieClip and it snaps back to its original co-ordinates - great.
The problem I have found is when I drag the label holding down my left hand mouse button towards the edge of my stage, as my mouse cursor holding the label passes from inside the stage to outside I lose my hand icon and the label is in limbo until I bring it back into the stage but then I am forced to drop the label just inside the stage and the X and Y variable no longer holds the original co-ordinates of the MovieClip, but is overwritten it seems to the new co-ordinates near the edge of the stage, so the snap back goes to the edge of the stage and not where it should. I have gone down the route of creating a rectangle bound to keep the label within the stage but as I hit the bound it unfortunatley acts in much the same way as when I drag outside the stage.
I understand that AS3 is listening out for a MOUSE EVENT and that it cannot listen when the cursor is outside the stage; I have come across the MOUSE LEAVE function would this work? I basically want my code to detect when the MovieClip has been dragged outside the stage and automatically snap it back to the co-ordinates held within the X and Y variables and stop dragging letting the user try again.
I dragged and dropped my movie clip on to the stage, and it doesn't play. Other movie clips play, but the one I need to use doesn't play. I even added a function that is supposed to play the clip when you click on another clip, and it doesn't work although others do. I've attached the fla for reference, the clip that I'm trying to use is wipe3.
Is there any possible way that you could drag and drop the stage itself? I mean, Id rather not have to make a bounding box for what could be an infinite number of images randomly placed on and off the stage's view.
I'm facing difficulties trying to drag and drop dynamic MC when their registration point go out of the stage.I'm using Tweener easing, and when this happens I get errors coming from Tweener and also from the stage.listeners..
Basically imagine a stage with 1 question on it and 3 possible answers. All the answers are draggable and the correct answer must be dragged to the answer area. If the wrong answer is dragged it bounces back... The problem (which in my opinion seems quite basic) is when the correct answer is dragged onto the answer area, I can't get it to do much. I can run a trace and that works so I know its setup correctly but I think i'm coding it wrong within the IF statement. My entire code for the correct answer is kept in a seperate as file and I have listed it below:
package code { import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import flash.geom.Point; public class Three extends MovieClip { [Code] .....
The bit where it says " if ( dropTarget.parent.name == "answer" )" I'm presuming is where the code has to go. I want to either goto a frame label within the main timeline which says "Congrats" kinda thing OR the other way I can think is adding a movie clip to the stage with the congrats msg in.
I'm new to actionscript but I'm trying to put together a little virtual pizza maker tool. The idea is you drag and drop the ingredients into a pizza base to make a virtual pizza. Here's what I've built so far using actionscript 3 [URL] I've had to make 6 instances of each ingredient, what I'd like to do is add a new instance to the stage when a button is clicked as in this demo.. [URL] Is it possible to add new instances to the stage and make them drag on drop like my first attempt?
Does anyone have a print job script that I can use on a mouseclick over a symbol - I want to print a specific area on a stage based on a drag and drop scenario... once all the relevant_MC's have been dragged into position the person gets the option to print via a button. I've attached the SWF for a view of the end product - I only need to print the grey area in the middle - not the white (thats where the drag and drop items will sit when not in use).
I am looking for a way to remove a movieclip from the stage when it is dropped (after a pause) and then have a new random movieclip appear at a specific point on the stage, which can then be dragged and dropped onto its own target (which repeats the process).
Code: var movieArray:Array = new Array(); movieArray = ["Red", "Green" , "Blue"];[code].....
I have been trying to develop a drag and drop Mr. Potato Head type game for a couple of days now. I am new to AS3 and I have hit a roadblock that I was hoping someone out there could help me get through. My game has 3 separate menus (mouths, hats, and eyes).Each menu is a nested MC which has several dragable objects. Unfortunately, when I move to the next frame on the timeline the object I drug out resets itself and disappears. Is there any way to keep a dragable object on the stage once it has been placed there? I think my problem is more of a logic and structure issue with the way that I set up the game rather than an issue with actionscript.
I added a movieclip and named "bot_mc" in another movieclip. Then, In Action panel, I use bot_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOWN, xxxx). However, when I drag and drop the container movieclip on the main stage and compile. There is no error occurs but the MouseEvent doesn't work.
I'm trying to make a simulation where a person can drag 2 different objects to any 4 predefined targets on the stage. Based on the position of the 2 objects there will be a different output text. I hope I described that clearly. I would also like the 2 objects to snap to the 4 targets. Im very new to AS. Im starting to be able to read it a bit but still can not wright it.
I want to have an image and when I click on the image ,one can hold down the mouse and drag a copy to where ever on the stage and when one lets go, one can drag another and another with each copy still being able to be dragged after released.this is what i have but its pretty simple and doesn't work....
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,makeA Box); var i:Number = 1; //i will be the total number of boxes var newBox:myMC = new myMC();[code]....
Im trying to do a drag and drop system where the user can drag a movie clip into an area. Although i would like to make it snap to a target instead of just sitting wherever it lands in the area. Problem Two:
The next thing i am trying to do is when the user has a movie clip on a target already, and trys to put another movie clip in that target area, it will replace the one thats in there and go back to its current position. Here is the script of what i have done so far:
I have added drag and drop to some of my custom components.The drag event is fired on mouse down.If you mouse down and move the component around then drop it repeatedly its fine.But if you mousedown and drag the component around drop it and THEN just click on the component it inits the drag but doesn't fire the drop event.Its almost like you have to move the component for it to fire the drag drop event.This is very annoying as i'm removing the component on drag init and adding it again on drop, so just clicking on it makes it disappear.
I downloaded a free flash menu component. It's help file said "You can simply drag and drop the menu items wherever you wish".However, I don't know how to drag and drop it in my file. please help me, how to use it?
I am developing a simple drag and drop game..except my draggable items are in a movie clip and my targets are also in a movie clip. My draggable objects work fine, they drag and snap back into place when the mouse is let go, but... they dont snap to their targets.They do snap to their targets when they are directly on the timeline, but inside another movie clip it doesnt work and i can't figure out why.[code]
Basically, there will be two images, which participants are to choose between. Below the pairs of images will be a horizontal bar with arrows at both opposite ends. I would like the participant to be able to drag and drop a small rectangle somewhere along the bar to represent their choice (and the degree of their endorsement).Basically, I'm asking how to make an interactive scrollbar on its side (without buttons, just the drag). I would also like it to start in the middle of the bar and be able to be moved in either direction.
I am trying to do a flex drag and drop. It is very similar to this first example.url....The problem is that event.currentTarget.mouseX,mouseY is showing the position where I put the mouse down rather than the position where I had finished dragging.
I am trying to create an elearning exercise and i have a problem with the drag and drop section i have created. The exercise works well but when the user clicks the next button to go to the next frame one of the drag elements from the exercise shows up on the next frame and i just can't work out how to get rid of it?
This is an overly complex way of making drag and drop functions, I know. My problem is, when my item hits the target, it doesn't allow me to drag anymore items?
ActionScript Code: square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, drag) function drag(event:MouseEvent):void {
