ActionScript 3.0 :: Drag MC And Then Ignore Mouse Up?
Jan 27, 2010
For example there are 2 movieclips on the stage, Parent and Child. I want to be able to drag the parent clip around with the MouseDown event.I also want an event to fire on the MouseClick event on the Child clip. But i only want this MouseClick to happen the user clicks on the Child clip, and not when the MouseUp event fires after the user has finished dragging?Is there something that defines where the mouseup has originated in the Childs MouseClick event handler?

I have a solid movie clip that is overlayed with a grid movie clip. Actually they are sprites. The solid sprite underneath has a MOUSE_OVER event. I have set mouseChildren and mouseEnabled on the grid sprite to false so that it receives no events. The problem is that when I go over a grid line the sprite underneate still receives the MOUSE_OUT and then the MOUSE_OVER event again. Is there anyway to make the grid completely transparent to the mouse so that it won't trigger the MOUSE_OUT and MOUSE_OVEr events for the sprite underneath over and over?

I have a sprite containing a 3x3 grid of boxes. I have a rollover event attached to the container sprite, but I only want it to fire off when I go over some of the boxes, not all. I've tried using mouseEnable = false and mouseChildren = false on the relevant boxes within the sprite, but when the cursor rolls over ANY boxes within the container sprite it fires off the event, not just the ones I want to be activated.How can I get the mouse to ignore certain children within the container sprite, without actually taking them out of the sprite?

I've created something that works like a ToolTip in my Flex application. When I roll over a certain item renderer, I pop up a new control, position it, and remove it on roll out. The order of operations is like this:
Roll over event handler triggered. Add the tooltip to this.systemManager.topLevelSystemManager.toolTipChildren. On creation complete of my tooltip, set x, set y coordinates of the tooltip (on creation complete so the width and height are calculated since they are dynamic). Roll out event handler triggered. Remove tooltip.
This worked fine when I set the x and y coordinates to be x+10, y+10 from the current mouse position. I wanted to add something that re-positioned the tool-tip if it was going to be drawn partially off screen. I added a step that would calculate if it would be drawn off screen, and re-position the tooltip if it was going to be cut off.
The problem with my solution seems to be that it now runs in an infinite loop of redraws, since adding the tool-tip to the screen underneath the mouse triggers the "rollOut" on the item renderer. This triggers the removal of the tooltip, and starts the process over again from 1.
is there any way to ignore tooltip so it doesn't take the mouse focus away from the item renderer that is now under it?

In my game there is a podium which at some point can have people on it which are added as children. There is a mouseover event listener on the podium to bring up a rollover box. I only want this rollover to appear when the mouse is over the podium graphicPodium Sprite:Children )-> graphic:Sprite ( visuals for the podium )-> person:Sprite ( a person on the podium)(children) -> graphic:Sprite ( visuals for person)Now the problem is, the person graphic overlaps and extends beyond the podium one causing the rollover area to popup when the mouse is outside of the podium area if its over the perseon sprite.

How can I make a mouse event ignore, or skip over another object? Say I have a small Sprite on a Large sprite, I want it to act as if the small sprite isn't there, and pass the mouse events directly through to the larger sprite behind it. I've been searching for this for a while and have tried various things but no avail.

I have a button_mc and within this button is another MC with a masked graphic to create a shine effect. My problem is that when this shine effect passes over the button and hits the mouse cursor it causes the button to deactivate. Is there a way for me to have the shine_mc within the button_mc be ignored by the mouse completely?

I made a simple test Air application to try different approaches to masking or using hitArea to ignore mouse events over transparent areas of a PNG. Can't seem to find the right mix of things to make it work, nor could I find a succinct example on the web.Clicking on the transparent areas of any of these methods don't result in the click getting handled by the background.Here's the code I have:

I have asked before but that was a week ago and ive changed alot of code. I am still having the same issue of trying to ignore MOUSE_MOVE while a tween plays and then reactivate MOUSE_MOVE on Finish. I have tried timers aswell to anticipate the finish with no luck as if i move some code a error #1009 happens.
I have alos tried motion_finished, if statements and even values with no luck as the code will just not function unless left as below.[code]...

I need to have background music playing in a movie that has multiple tabs for the user to click on and go to different frames in the main timeline. I want background music throughout the movie, but it is interrupted by the mouse events. It skips to whatever frame the tabs are associated with. how I can make the music override or ignore the mouse events? I'm new to Actionscripting.

I need a way to ignore any mouse clicks by the user , until I finish running a function, and then undo this ignore function.
Why: until my animation stops, so the user won't activate some other animation, there for I want to ignore any clicks he might do.

In my isometric flash game I have some models with long shadows. I want to ignore the mouse events (move, click, down and up) when the user performs any action on the shadow part of the image. (see sample image) I know there is a way we can do it by creating a mask in flash. But what if I want to handle it on the .png images (bitmap)? Do I need to create a mask image for all such images? I think it will be very big deal unless there are easy ways (using tools in Photoshop).

I have a custom component, containing a List displaying items from an XMLListCollection:
[Code]....
Also if I click twice, only 1 mouse click will cause my custom event to be dispatched (because obviously there is no change between the items). how to make my List only react to mouse clicks? UPDATE: Yes, I've tried using "change" event for the List before, but then I have the problem that it is fired, even if the List scrollbar is clicked.

I have designed a menu that When you mouse over it, a custom cursor appears. When you mouse down it disappears and when you mouse up it returns. If you happen to mouse down and then drag the mouse off of the menu (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up outside the menu, the custom cursor disappears. All good. The only issue is: If you happen to mouse down on the menu and then drag the mouse off of the menu AND off of the stage, i.e the SWF (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up completely off of the stage, the custom cursor appears at the point it left the menu. I have tried to fix this using MOUSE_LEAVE but this dosnt work when the mouse button is pressed down. I have attached an FLA, SWF and the AS below.
Code:
stop();
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

i have some script that creates a rotating video wall/carousel effect that rotates left and right depending on where the mouse is.
I want the carousel to only rotate when the mouse is down and dragging - but just can't seem to work out what i need to change.
how do I define the drag action instead of the current +x & -x co-ordinates??
here is the full script for the entire carousel
Code:
*/
import org.papervision3d.scenes.*;
import org.papervision3d.cameras.*;
import org.papervision3d.objects.*;
[Code].....
but just seems to give me errors - would that be because i haven't defined anything else to do with the dragging? how do I declare the carousel is to stop on mouse up?
am i even looking in the right place? does the rotation of the carousel start elsewhere?

I tried to translate this old code into actionscript 3, but unfortunately the new code doesn't work anymore.The mouse events of the old code are general, not linked to a movieclip (which I did in the new code with the addEventListeners). How can you do this with as3? Something like Stage.addEventListener? (but then I got an error feedback from flash, so it must be done differently).I also don't know how to translate the onMouseUp part. Maybe with a removeListener?
old code:
Actionscript Code:
import com.flashcreations.utils.MathExtra;onMouseDown = function() { // define this

I'm new to AS3 and I have a square(1200w) that's bigger than the stage(200w). Right now you can keep dragging it left and right as far as you possibly can. How can I set a imit/boundry to how much of the square you can drag? So that it can't be dragged beyond it's maximum width?Here's an image
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);

My goal is to make it so that when the user clicks and drags the disc (whether it be click anywhere on the stage or clicking on the disc itself), the disk will turn according to where the mouse goes.
I've used this tutorial [URL] to make a simple arrow move when the mouse does to test the code and see if it works, and it does. But now i'm trying to figure out how to make it so it will only move when I drag the mouse. I've tried things like "onClipEvent (mouseDown)" and such but they don't drag the clip.
how to get the arrow/disc to drag (and eventually, play a sound, but I will worry about that later),
code on MC:
Code:
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
x = this._xmouse;
y = this._ymouse*-1;

It happens when you drag the scroll slider out of bounds and you release - even when mouse is up the slider still moves. I consider it a glitch. What does somebody has to do to fix it?the code I use for the slider:
Code: Select allscroll_btn.buttonMode = true;
var dragging:Boolean = false;
var bounds:Rectangle = new Rectangle(-10,-13,0,138);

I have builded a 3d carousel following the tutorial and managed to insert it properly in my site. (great great tutroials, really)What i wanted to change though if possible, is that i would like the carousel to spin only when dragged by the mouse. I have searched alot of forums for days but didnt manage to find a script to include or substitute to achieve this.

For a project I am am working on I need a pan effect like the one in URL...Now I was just wondering how to do this. There are various ways I can think off to make the background move according to mouse movement, but nothing I have done comes close to the smoothness in URL...More specifically, I can trigger an event when mouse in moved left/right/up/down in the pressed down stage - this event can tween the background in any direction required. But how do I stop the tween movement when the mouse is released. Since I have asked the background to tween from one its central value to say its rightmost/leftmost value, how do I make it stop in the middle of the tween when the mouse is released.

URL...I'm wondering if it's possible to confine the mouse's location, on drag, to the shape it is dragging so that when the dragged shape stops at the boundary, it's not possible to continue to drag the cursor away from the shape (until the mouse is released).
