ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - Moving A Bounding Box To A Specific Location (dynamically)?
Sep 15, 2011
Issue: I need to move a rectangle (that has only sides and no fills) to a specific location on the animation, what happens is that if the user enters some info (through HTML form processed by PHP and sent to the movie through FlashVars), this info should then me find the x and y coordinates of a button that should then be overlapped by this said rectangle.Code:
Code:
if (_root.signUp == 1){ // the FlashVar variable flag
var buttoSym= "_root.thumbMain.thumbSymbol.b" + _root.signNumber
[code]......

I've a flash AS3 based application that provides option to play/pause/record FLV files from flash media server. These files are only audio files. Now, I want to add a new functionality of inserting audio at a specific location.Like if the already recorded file is of five minutes duration, and I want to record 1 minute audio after third minute, the end result should be a six minute file with the new audio added from 3rd to 4th minute.

If you load up a FLVPlayback component in Flash or VideoDisplay in Flex and try to seek to a specific location or set playheadTime to a specific location, the movie always rounds up or down by very large amountsIn flash, drag a FLVPlayback component to stage and set source to Then try to video.seek(6) or video.playheadTime = 6;It will just goto 10. Likewise if you use their built in scrubber the only intervals are 0, 5, or 10. So at most the scrubbing frame you see is 3Here is an example of flex with the same result.

Is it possible to make a bounding circle instead of a bounding box?The objects should bounce INSIDE the circle.I have now a bounding box outside the circle, but the objects exceeds the circle at the corners.
I was thinking of making an array of Points on the edge of a circle and when the object is < or > then do something... but that would be a lots of if/else statements.

I have 4 movieclips that are animated around the stage and a basket movieclip button as the home button in the far left corner. When I click the basket I would like to have actionscript animate those 4 movieclips into the basket with an acceleration in 20 frames. This I can easily do without acceleration as I can find out the current location of the movie clips, find out the distance between it and the basket and then divide it by the number of frames I need, and then use that as the speed. But to be honest I am not sure where to begin when I include acceleration. I have dabbled with acceleration in the past but not with a specific number of frames in mind.

Well, I am working on motion detection in AS3.
I already understand how it works, now in this swf what happen is there are filters added to the video(output) to make the motions color white. I will put the files here.
The swf is inside the bin folder. (this is made by soulwire) Here is his site/blog
[URL]
I am trying to mod it to improve it. Well you can study code if you want to
But what I want to do with getColorBoundsRect is:
- Having only one source to detect the color "WHITE". But having multiple "getColorBoundsRect" detecting white on that ONE source but on DIFFERENT regions.
Lets say this M1(colorboundsrect) will only detect the first part of the source) and M2 will be detecting on another region of SAME source.
1 source, but multiple getColorBoundsRect on different regions of that 1 source

I've creating a site that has a long horizontal line of fullscreen background images. Currently, moving the mouse left and right scrolls the images right and left.
I also have left and right arrows also for cycling through the images. I have several arrays with various bits of data about the images to help with the cycling. 1 array contains all the widths of the images Another contains all the x positions of the containerClips within image_mc.
The images are in a mc like so
mcholder.image_mc.containerClip0
mcholder.image_mc.containerClip2
mcholder.image_mc.containerClip3
....
mcholder is on the root.
What I would like to do, is instead of continuous scrolling left and right, I only want the user to be able to scroll about 20-30px past each image, (I'm guessing based on the current image_mc._x
When a user clicks an image it tweens into place and onComplete function stores the current image_mc._x value in a currentImageX var.
I'm not sure how to this to limit my left and right scrolling when not clicking.
My current scrolling code is this.

I have a Spark TextArea:
<s:TextArea id="editor">
<s:textFlow>
<s:TextFlow id="_tf" >
<s:p>Lorem ipsum etc.</s:p>
[code]...
But still no joy in inserting into the middle. Also, the above code wouldn't replace highlighted text, but that's not the real concern here.Based on Eugene's link the key to this is EditManager.The following code represents the working updated function:
protected function imageBtn_clickHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var em:EditManager = editor.textFlow.interactionManager as EditManager;
em.selectRange(editor.selectionAnchorPosition, editor.selectionActivePosition);

I am trying to attach a movie clip at a specific location on the stage using the following code:attachMovie("plane_mc", "mc", 1, {x:50} );The statement above does attach my MC called plane_mc onto the stage but it won't attach it at the location where I want it to. The x parameter doesn't seem to have any effect whatsovever on the stage location.

I recently created a web site that has a popup window with a Quicktime .mov embedded in it. [URL] The popup has parameters set so that it has no borders, scroll bar or address field. It looks fine on my PC in IE, however... on my clients iMac, the popup opens with an address (location) field. Needless to say, this is unacceptable to my client. Is there a parameter specific to Macs that excludes the location bar? Or a resource that lists the window parameters for all browsers and OSs?

When I click on the button, it should bring me to a specific location which is inside the MovieClip, and that works. However, from inside that MC, I want to click on the same button, it should bring me on the main time line. How to do that? I am making of a variable (boolean) here. Is there something wrong in my code? (see path.fla)
(b) How do I remove a movie clip? (see path2.fla) When I clik on the square_btn, it brings me to a location inside that movie clip where there is an oval button. When I reach that oval button, I want the square_btn to me temporarily removed on that page.

How can I check if the stage contains a movieclip on a specific x and y location on the stage?I'm building a colour-guessing game. The purpose is to walk a path through a generated field of hexagons, each assigned a random colour (yellow, red, blue or green), based on what soundfile you hear. So if you hear "yellow", you have to click a yellow tile etc.But because I want it to be a path, and the colours of the tiles are randomly generated, I have to check which colours border the currently active tile. I literally have no idea how to do this. I thought this might work but it doesnt:
if ((this.tile.y == (event.currentTarget.y - 64)) != null) {
//add the colour of this tile to array
}

Im going to attatch the fla on here...I am also going to give you the script viewable here...im completely a beginner so i made my self notes
also this is not all my coding im just learning off of it to create my own project... What coding would i use to tell the mc to stop scrolling once it reaches a certain x coordinate? for example x=0 (left side of stage) or x= -484 which is when right side of picture is at right side of stage... and can i setup math for it to automatically determine the correct x coordinate (based off mc width) to stop at?? if there is easier scripting to do the same....fill me in
oh and x is off of the stage typically...this is panoramic pics im scrolling

I have a problem and I've looked everywhere for a solution but haven't found one yet. I'm trying to move the playhead to a specific frame inside a movieclip but can't find any code that will allow this to happen.
In more detail: I have 5 movieclips that act as my main pages on my main timeline. from inside let's say, from the 5th movieclip on frame 100 i want to move out of this clip and into the 3rd movieclip BUT NOT to go to frame 1 but move to frame 50 of the 3rd movieclip. I've tried everything but no matter what happens the first frame is always displayed, and i don't want that.

Does someone have a working fla to illustrate how to load an external movie and zoom and pan to specific location of this movie (with easing)? With actionscript, not necessarily with a control for the user. I am looking for it for some time and unfortunately my programming abilities are not yet sufficient to find it out from scratch (but I am working on it).

I'm trying to animate a simple stick figure just now. I used an inverted triangle shape for the body,which gives a nice width to the shoulders. Unfortunately, flash doesn't seem to realise that it's a triangle. Due to it's stubborn way of drawing a rectangular bounding box around every shape.
This is getting in the way a lot, as there are parts of figure which are clearly not blocked by the torso, but are blocked by it's big square bounding box, which makes it a nightmare to drag the arms and legs around to where I want them
Is there any way to fix this silly behaviour, and have it only select an object when I click on a visible part of it, and not just anywhere in it's bounding box ?
