ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Placing Movie Clip At The Angle And Global Position Of A Mouse Click (button) Which Is Constantly Rotating?
Sep 23, 2009
Does anyone know the code for finding the global positioning of X & Y co-ordinates of a click of a button which is constantly rotating, and then secondly the code for when you click on the button it displays a movie clip on top of it -(position of x & y when clicked) at the angle that you clicked it (so underneath the buttons are still rotating so other people can click them where they are)to explain the context, I'm trying to design a mock up of a circular interactive table when someone comes up to it and clicks on one of the buttons that are moving, it reads where the person clicked it and opens up a new box (movie clip) where they clicked it (at the angle) so its not upside down if you are at the topI've included my .fla file which shows the four buttons moving and a little diagramexplaining what I'm trying to do.

I have a map application that when I use the mouse wheel the map will scale up or scale down. The next thing I want to do is to focus on the mouse pointer while zooming on the part of the map.
I have this code...
function focusMousePosition(){ onMouseMove = function (){ Stage.width = _root._xmouse; Stage.height = _root._ymouse; updateAfterEvent(); }} var mouseWheelListener = new Object();var wheelNum:Number; mouseWheelListener.onMouseWheel = function(wheelNum){ focusMousePosition(); if (wheelNum > 0){ map._xscale *= 0.9; map._yscale *= 0.9; }else{ map._xscale *= 1.1; map._yscale *= 1.1; }}Mouse.addListener(mouseWheelListener);
Im learning actionscript using the tutorials here so im more interested in learning *how* rather than just getting it done.
Ive come across a problem on something ive been trying to do. Ive been trying to make a 10 framed movieclip appear at the mouse position and play continuously. To do this I have a two framed loop.
Here is my code. Circle_mc is the movie clip: ----------------------------------------------------- //this is the name of my function and what it has in it. CreateAtMouse = function () { Circle_mc.duplicateMovieClip("circlecreate", 2, {_x: _root._xmouse, _y:
I have read all threads and can not find a solution but i am not somebody with a lots of knowledge about actionscript so here is my problem i am using this script .
[code]....
the problem is that when i click on the first button loads ok but when click on second still showing the first movie clip in the back ,,,,, i have try everything without luck ,,,, i guess i need to keep reading but will like to find an answer to this situation ,
I have created an animation which has frames with the head drawn in the various positions it needs to be in to look in all directions. Each frame is unique as it shows the head look up down sideways etc.What I need to do now is to make the movie clip play certain frames depending on the mouse position.I am having some trouble with the logic of how to do thisIs the best way to detect the mouse position then tell the movie clip to gotoandstop a certain frame depending on the mouse position?
Im trying to follow an example and get a simple arrow sprite to rotate to the mouse position. This example comes out of the book 'Foundation Actionscript 3.0 Making things move' however when I build the following .as files, open a new as3.0 document, assign the document class to RotateToMouse, run the movie the swf's stage is blank and lacking the arrow sprite im telling it to create.
I have an MC that contains a menu. Within the menu MC I have a little arrow movie clip that I would like to ease to the mouse position when clicked. I have this code on the little arrow, copied from many easing tutorials:
[Code]....
Also, I want the arrow MC to start at a particular place. But when I put _y = 30 (for example, which is where I would want it to start from) it is still at 0,0 - even when I change _y to this._y. What the heck?
I'm loading an external image into an empty actionscript movie clip (holder1) using MovieClipLoader(); on frame one of my movie and is invisible. Then when the movie plays, there is an empty movie clip symbol (image1_mc) that is placed manually on the stage within another movie clip symbol (flash_mc), and is also on a bottom layer of a mask layer which is animated. Is it possible to place "holder1" inside of "image1_mc" so that I can treat it as if it were an embedded image? In other words, have the image in "holder1" inside of the manually placed movie clip symbol "image1_mc" so that I can use it like a regular symbol on the stage?
My buttons are not being placed in the same position as my other buttons are on another page? I copied the same x and y cordinates as the other page..but they are still not being placed in the same position..why is this?
how do i add a movie clip to a button position? i want a button that, when clicked, slides out to a certain position and stop. kinda like a drawer in a desk.
I've been scouring the internet for the past hour or so in search of how to do this. It's very simple, but every example seem to want me to bring a loaded movie clip, or trace mouse position. I don't need that! Basically I have a button that when clicked comes to the front (using behaviours), moves to a new position, scales and then I want every other button behind it to blur. Obviously I want them to blur gradually to keep the flow going. Here's my current code so you can see where its going:
I am using event.event.localX to get the x-axis but it is with reference to local coordinates. How can I get or pass the value of the HBox's xAxis that is clicked by the user so that I can add it in the xAxis of the local coordinate. In other words, I need the global coordinate value? (i.e. x-axis & y-axis)
I'm working on a new site and one of the things the client likes most is the idea of these gears that are constantly rotating on the screen. However, now that I have the mock-up design done, I'm noticing that the constant rotation requires a lot of CPU to maintain. Has anyone else experienced this and have you figured out a better method than the one I am using to rotate the movieclips?
I'm trying to make a flash website that has clickable buttons that will play different movie clips. But I dont know how to make it to just play the movie clip with the button you click without playing all the movie clips on the main timeline.
I am working on a project that I have three movie clips animate onto the stage.I then have 3 buttons come up correlating with each movie clip.How do I script the buttons to play the movie clips?The movie clips are embeded FLV files just fyi.
I'm currently working on a treasure hunting flash game where the player clicks on a part of the screen and their shovel (cursor) digs a hole on that area. We're using a grid to determine what areas of the screen are clickable, so I created this by making a grid of buttons. However, I'm only vaguely experienced with AS2, and have never touched AS3 until now.
Basically, I need it so when the user clicks one of the buttons (each is named in a separate instance, a1, a2, b7 and so on) it swaps out and is replaced with a graphic of a hole I created as a movie clip.
I working on the timeline and have some Actionscript 3 code (I have a actions layer on the timeline). I am not sure what the code is for clicking on a button(I made the buttons movie clips since I wanted to animate it) and it plays a movie clip.
I've been asked to make an Analogue Clock with roman numerals. Our tutor has decided to make us to it the long way round, and use AS3 for everything.
So, the rotation works for one image, "the number 12" and rotates a new copy of itself every 30 degrees. But how do i get it so that every 30 degrees, a new image is placed at that angle? Therefore "12" then 30 degrees "1" etc.
ActionScript Code: for (var i:int=0;i<=12;i++) { var angleDegrees:int = 30* i; //so we get angles from 0 to 330 var radius:int=170; //you can set this to whatever you want
