ActionScript 3.0 :: Drag And Drop HitTestObject Interference
Mar 15, 2010
I am working on a multipage Flash piece in Actionscript 3.0. I have a drag and drop game inside it. My goal was that there were two correct answers (owlBtn & cougarBtn, both are movieclips not buttons) and there are two hitTestObjects (box1 [top movieclip] and box2 [bottom movieclip]). I am trying to write the code so that if the owl or cougar are dropped in box1, the label beneath the box appears and the movieclip snaps to box1s dimensions. This of course, is the desired reaction for box2 as well. I only have two functions, a start drag and a stop drag, and a wicked long if statement.Yet, I have this problem. Whatever the user puts either the owl or the cougar in box1 and then proceeds to put the correct answer in box2, the correct answer snaps up and locks in box1.
DragNDropProcess.doc is a word document that has images that show what is happening.And this is my if-statement. Someone I was talking to, suggested that it's the hitTestObject that is still active once a drop has been made and this is messing up the rest of the code. If this seems like a solution, is there anyway to remove the active state of a hitTestObject, once the hit has been made? Or make it null? Flash tells me I can't just attach a null to it, so I'm just stuck as to how to continue.[code]
I have a function that states when movieclip1 is dragged and hits a line then it stops the drag, however it seems to stop the entire drag function in the swf on the other movieclips even though they arent called in the function.[code]
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 don't mean to impose on people who actually know what they're doing, but I'm trying to find a template of some sort, free, that provides this effect:[URL]..
It's nothing commercial, I just want to use the flash effect as a screensaver (a la InstantStorm). I've been wracking my mind trying to find a screensaver with that effect,
I have a dynamic text field over a button, and i can not click on the button. I can not remember/or even find what the term is called to make it so that its liek the text isnt even there. Ive tried mouseEnabled = false;, and thats not it.
on my website, I wanna load different bg animations after my page has been loaded. I don't wanna pre-load because I don't want waiting time. Will loading in this way interfere with anything else on my page such as the buttons actions slowing down?
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 {
Flash is completely the wrong app for this, but I don't have access to anything else.I need to parse through a set of files and do some regular expression work on them.Is there a way to drag and drop the text files to do the work on via CS4/AS3? The filenames will always be different, so I can't just hard code that info.
how to make a mp3 player functionality, like for example winamp has, that you grab the mp3 and drag in into the playlist/player and it automatically plays?
I'm looking into having a interface using multiple windows which you can drag by pulling the dragbar around.Each window would be a movieclip called *****_win and inside would be a dragBar that the mouse has to pull around to move the window.I have searched a lot on google, and decided to end up asking here.
1) All the code I used so far did not have any borders. (The borders would be the stage, not an image).
2) Whenever I dragged an object, it would drag the whole window.
3) If the cursor left the window while dragging (which is does a lot), I have to drag it again.
Anyway how I can do an OS-like way of dragging a window?
I am writing an imitator of a car and want to move steering wheel by mouse.startDrag seems not fitted for the task...Can I customize it or write my own function(s) mimicking it?
I have a drag and drop interface that includes 164 items. Each item is a table. You drag the tables into an image of a floor plan for an event venue.I have the drag and drop stuff working but now I'm stuck on the reset button. AS3 is a new beast to me. I've been using AS2 and just made the switch. [URL]The reset and print buttons are not functional yet.
I am working on making a drag and drop activity. In Flash CS4 using ActionScript 3.0. It is essentially functional, but I would like to add a reset button to return all objects to their original positions.[code]...
