ActionScript 3.0 :: Dragging A MovieClip Vertically?
Oct 28, 2010
I'm trying to enable the user to drag a movieclip vertically. I've coded something to be dragged horizontally, and thought it would be a simple matter of swapping some of the info around.
Here is my current code:
stop();
var leftY1:int = 120;
var rightY1:int = 400;
frontbar1_mc.mask = mask1_mc.rec1_mc;
[code]....
Now when the movieclip is clicked, it completely changes position and will only be dragged horizontally. Then when its clicked again, it will jump vertically by how much I previously dragged it horizontally.

is it possible to flip a (duplicated) movieclip horizontally or vertically using AS?
I don't mean rotating it 180 degrees, that's something else, I mean a flip comparable to Modify > Transform > Flip Horizontal.

I've run into a bit of a snag regarding a project I'm working on. The code below sets up the mc holder which includes two dynamic text fields sFloor and sCompany these get their contents from an xml file. YAU is one of the additional mc's that I need added at runtime depending on the number shown in the sFloor field.
Code:
var nameHolder:holder;
var nameHolderX:Number = 145;
var nameHolderY:Number = 267;
var YAU:upArrow = new upArrow();
This is the code that add's the holder mc 25 times vertically down and populates the sFloor and sCompany text fields with what's in the XML file
Code:
function loadText():void {
var txtLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
txtLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
txtLoader.load(new URLRequest("XMLfile.xml"));
removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
[Code] .....
it all works fine except that the "YAU" added mc is only added into the last instance on the list (which is the correct number) but I need it to add to any of them that meet the condition.

how to use actionscript to stretch a movieclip indefinately either horizontally or vertically? I have a swf file which I've set to resize when the browser window resizes and I want to have a background movie clip that 'stretches' or 'repeats' itself to accomodate the browser window at whatever width it is.

If -- draggable -- moivieClip_A is created, and then moivieCLip_B is created as a child of movieClip_A, (when movieClip_A is dragged onPress, movieClip_B simultaneously moves with it), is it possible to change a property of movieClip_B with a mouse event? Seems as though movieClip_A's layer position / mouse events are blocking mouse events for movieClip_B.

I have movie clip which I wish to drag in Y only.Code:
newMC.startDrag(false, new Rectangle(0, -99999, 0, 99999));
For some reason I cannot drag the movie clip above the top of the stage, no matter which way around I put the nines.

I'm trying to accomplish something in actionscript that involves dragging a movie clip. You see, I want to drag a movie clip out of a scroller (see this tutorial - I am using it currently to attempt to make this work) and onto another area of the stage, where users will then be able to drag it around and resize it. I am hoping that the user will be able to create something from these pictures.

What is the difference between dragging a movieClip to stage from the user interface and inserting it from code? What I mean is....I noticed that if I drag a movie clip from the library to the stage, give it an instance name ('xx'), I can access it from code using "this.xx". However, if I add the movieClip from code using:
var ch = new MovieClip();
ch.name = 'xx';
addChild(ch);
I cannot access it using this.xx, but I have to access it using this.getChildByName('xx');

I have created a portfolio which is supposed to give the impression that it is my windows desktop that you are looking at. I have made it so that I can drag MSN Messenger around now, but I have come upon a problem I can't figure out.
I have two movieclips representing my windows. One for the open window, which contains the animation to open a windown from minimized, and the window in open state. And one which contains the animation of the window closing. The problem is that when I start to drag the movieclip, I don't know how to "lock" the close movieclip to the open moviclip, so that they remain op top of eachother. Also, the position on the stage the windows gets minimized to(and maximized from) moves with the movieclip, making it look stupid if you minimize a window after having dragged it. Look on "Om Mig" on the site to see what I mean.
Here is the site
Is there a way to fix the other movieclip to the drag, and is the a way to fix the position the windows tween to when they are minimize and maximized, after the movieclips have been dragged?[code]...

There is a mouseUpEvent listener attached to the stage in the main class, while dragging the movieClip the mouseUpEvent doesnot trigger the handler and the movieClip gets sticks to the mouse. While the item is being dragged and the mouse is moved away from the movieClip i.e somewhere not on the item but on the stage the mouseUp is detected.
Edit: Here is the scenario I am using a static (Singleton) class as a movieClip as a "DragManager".Whenever a movieClip has to be dragged it is passed to the DragManager and is added as a child,when a mouseUp from stage is detected another static function of dragManager is called to stop the drag and put the movieClip on the appropriate layer.Here is the static function in the DragManager which is called on MouseDown from variouslayers.
public static function startDragMethod(item:Item):void
{
instance.addChild(item); //This is the instance of the DragManager
var boundArea:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0,0,610,760);[code]...
my goal is to implement drag drop between various layers and with as less coupling as possible.

I have a draggable item, a MovieClip that calls startDrag() on itself when it is clicked, and another MovieClip on the stage.I need the MovieClip to receive ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT events while the draggable MovieClip is being dragged over it, but the lower clip doesn't receive these messages while a clip is being dragged over it.Essentially, ROLL_OVER is only sent to the topmost MovieClip under the mouse. Normally, you'd fix that with some combination of mouseEnabled or mouseChildren on the overlapping MovieClips, but if you do that to a draggable MovieClip, it breaks dragging. I need to detect when the mouse is over the lower MovieClip, regardless of what MovieClips are above it.

I have a script that loads an external image into the stage(I have the addChild() script somewhere else) but I keep getting an error that says:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Loader@b1b7101 to flash.display.MovieClip.
at project1_fla::MainTimeline/drag()
[Code]....
What I do to make the image draggable? *(The image is loaded when the swf starts but the image won't because I put the addChild() in a if() statement. Could it be that since the image isn't loaded, it can't be a movieclip?)

If paste the code below into your IDE, you can see that I have a TabNavigator, one of whose tabs' contents are larger than the other tab. I want to get my TabNavigator to resize according to it's selected child, NOT according to the largest of it's children (as it's presently doing). How would I do this?
PHP Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="[URL]">
<mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:TabNavigator>
<mx:Canvas label="Tab 1" width="100%" height="100%">

i am trying to make a flash version of my company catalog. i've got the nifty page turning thing working fine. what i am trying to do now is have it so that when you click on a page, it loads a larger version of that page into a blank mc holder. i can get it to load the image no problem. what i CAN'T seem to figure out is how to make the image scroll so that the viewers can see the entire thing.
i need to constrain the size of the holder mc and then have the image inside move with the mouse movement. clicking the image will empty the holder mc and return the viewer to the main catalog.open the catalog and on the first page you will see a temp blue button. clicking that will open the LARGE page view (i know they don't match, this is just a demo ). i need to be able to scroll that large image. still nowhere.
