ActionScript 3.0 :: Comunicating Between Loaded Child Movieclips And Parent Holder Movieclips?

Aug 6, 2010

I m trying to make sense of how to load a swf into a parent MovieClip and allow them to communicate.I ve attached two zip files � one which works fine and the other doesn�t. Unfortunately (for me), the one which doesn�t work is closer to my current project.I need to load movieclips into the parent movieclip. The parent movieclip has controls which rely on values parsed from the child movieclip.In the parent movieclips I wait until the loading is complete and so the values should be passed. However, the values aren�t passed unless I use a button (or timer), to pass the values (see the working exampes).The code which doesn�t work is:

Parent movieclip:

Dragging Components In Flex?

Apr 3, 2010

so I am trying to drag around some images in a canvas. I am adding eventlisteners to the components and calling startDrag() and stopDrag() to pick them up and stuff:

component.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, component.startDrag)

The problem is that it is selecting the image at its (0,0) location and not where I initially click on it. So there's a sudden "jump" when I click on the image. It is not smooth.

I noticed that startDrag() has two default parameters, one of them is lockCenter and it is default to false. Maybe do I set it equal to true somehow? (I don't know how to pass arguments to my second parameter in addeventlistener)

Another question: if I want to add more conditions to it, like make a new function that uses component.startDrag(), how do I pass the component to this function while adding event listener to it at the same time? for example: I want to do:

component.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, some_other_function);

where some_other_function uses component.startDrag();

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dragging Several Objects At Once

The code for dragging an object with the mouse is known:

I tried to drag two objects at a time using

mc.onPress=function(){this.startDrag(false);mc2.st artDrag(false);};
mc.onMouseUp=function(){this.stopDrag();mc2.stopDr ag();}

But this seems to drag only the object, corresponding to the last parameter in the function

ActionScript 2.0 :: MX - Dragging Zooming Locking A MC?

Aug 19, 2009

Being adventurous I've got (all built in AS1) a masked area that you can view an image in. I'm trying to make it so you can zoom it in and drag it around, within the masked area, but the dragging locks it so that you can't drag it to the point where it leaves the edge of the masked area - if you follow. So when you're zoomed in, the iamge is never allowed to be dragged off so far that it's not filling the masked area. I've tried all sorts of code and the following code seemed to work well

Code:
// imageMC = the clip being scaled/repositioned/dragged
limitLeft = 0-Math.round(imageMC._width-maskWidth);
limitUp = 0-Math.round(imageMC._height-maskHeight);
limitRight = 0;
limitDown = 0;
imageMC.startDrag(false,limitLeft,limitUp,limitRight,limitDown);

But since the border size around the image is adjustable (it could be 2, it could be 20) and that eats into the area used to show the image (eg image is offset by imgBorderSize and shrunk by imgBorderSize*2) I tried to factor that into the formulas because once I turned the borders up the above formulas wasn't working right anymore

Code:
// imageMC = the clip being scaled/repositioned/dragged
limitLeft = 0-Math.round(imageMC._width-maskWidth)-(imgBorderSize*2);
limitUp = 0-Math.round(imageMC._height-maskHeight)-(imgBorderSize*2);

[code]....

I also tried to make it so when you zoom in, it zoomed in on the center of the area you can see through the mask, not on the top left - so repositioning is occuring alongside the scaling for the zoom to try and acheive that. Nothing clever, just :

Code:
// ZoomCalc range = 0-100;
// imageMC = the clip being scaled/repositioned/dragged
imageMC._xscale = 100+(2*ZoomCalc); // 100% - 300%

[code]....

When it zooms out however it'd be nice if it didn't snap back to center via the above code, eg if yu're zoomed into bottom left it would stay viewing bottom left as it zoomed out - yeah?If anyone has ANY input to this I'd greatfuly welcome it :/ If I manage to get it working then I have to figure out what my layer above all these layers with clickable buttons don't work as soon as I implemented the dragging of the image layer Is there no way to have buttons on something that is being dragged?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Stop Both Objects From Dragging?

Jun 11, 2010

I've been searching various sites and forums for a solution to this, but have so far found none, so I was hoping to ask for some advice on the subject.Basically I have a movieclip of a photoframe, and I'd like it so when the user clicks the edge of the frame, they can drag it around, while clicking the photo inside the frame will open a new window and show the photo in full view.Originally I thought I could accomplish this simply by using:(Note: Framemc is the main movieclip, with another mc called "Photo" inside which is the picture)[code]But this leads to an odd problem: When dragging the frame it works fine, but the user can also drag the "photomc" around too (like, the frame stays in place and doesnt move with it), thus removing it from the frame.Is there a way to tell the code to move only certain parts of the mc and not others?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Math For Rotated Dragging?

Aug 17, 2010

this math isn't working well. I'm using it for a rotated drag and drop (of a tone arm on a vinyl, a kind of abstract turntable simulation). Right now it just moves a bit in the middle of the vinyl (values between 21 and 36, is this degree or what unit is this?), but it should move between the two edges. The problem is that I don't know enough about trigonometry functions. Therefore I can't optimize the math for envisaged behaviour. Does anybody have an idea/tip how I can get a bit more control on the math and its effect? (maybe with more trace functions)

Drag & Drop WITH Keystrokes While Dragging

Sep 26, 2009

Is it possible to handle keystrokes WHILE dragging? I found this to be impossible, because hitting a key always fires an "onRelease" or "onReleaseOutside" event on the dragged movieclip when releasing the key - intterupting the drag operation. What I want to do is something like this: Drag and Drop a Movieclip and while dragging it I want to be able to flip it with a keystroke.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dragging With Inertia For Dummies?

Jul 1, 2010

I'm trying to achieve a fairly simple effect--a dragging a MC with inertia.
 
Specifically, I'm trying to get this to happen:
 
1. When you click with the mouse on the MC (not the entire stage), the MC gets dragged along.
 
2. When you let go of the mouse button, the MC keeps going with inertia (slowly comes to a stop) that depends on the speed with which the MC was dragged and in the same direction. The MC shouldn't change directions if the unpressed mouse is moved around.
 
3. The dragging is constricted to the X axis.

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.
