I am using this simple code to startDrag()
drag.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragD);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragU);
function dragD(event:Event):void {
this.startDrag();
} function dragU(event:Event):void {
this.stopDrag();
}
I need to drag only horizontally.
Is there anyway of still using this code:
event.currentTarget.startDrag();
But making it so the target can only be dragged horizontally?
How can I constrain an image in a container to only a horizontal drag that when it collides with another image 'pushes' that image along that same horizontal line.

View 6 RepliesI have a image of burlap @ 500 width x 430 height. I need to tile this as my entire background for my full screen flash site. flip the image horizontally for every other placement horizontally, and then i need it to flip vertically for every other Vertical placement. So the image only looks seamless if i do this. I have a illustration below to help show what i mean.

I have a movieclip.. named contentMC which i need to be able to drag via a mouse event or touch, so it moves left and right.

View 1 Repliesis 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 need to know how to flip a movieclip vertically / horizontally like in
modify - flip horizontal
modify - flip vertical
But in actionscript, and i've tried ._rotation, and it doesnt work properly, it messes it up
How do you make a movieclip move horizontally from the start of the stage to 3/4 of the stage. Stage size is 700 px by 600 px
i want just one row in the middle of the stage. i want that movieclip to disappear right after it reach the end of the 3/4 mark.
I am trying to make a movie clip that contains different buttons. Not all the buttons will be visible on the stage always, so I want that when the user moves the mouse arrow left, the movieclip containing the buttons updates and move along with it to the right...and vise versa. The issue I am having is that my pieces update only after I am done moving the mouse. So the movie clip is not moving along with the pointer. Attached is the code. Here is a sample of what I am trying to accomplish: [URL]
View 3 RepliesIf two movie clips instances of the same movieclip are placed on the stage and one is flipped horizontally in Flash.. Is there a way I can detect which one has been flipped horizontally in code? ScaleX seems to remain unchanged.The MovieClip has been flipped horizontally using the Flash UI (Edit->Flip Horizontal), not via code.
View 2 Replieshow 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.
View 1 RepliesIs there a code that will flip a MovieClip horizontally (e.g mirror image) when the mouse moves over a certain x-coordinate.For example, we'll say the movieclip is called "man" .When the mouse is on the left side of the man, the man faces right. However when the mouse is on the right side of the man, he now faces left. Of more simply, he 'flips over' when the mouse changes sides.Is there an actionscript code to tell the movieclip to do this or do i have to manyally free transform the movieclip?
View 7 RepliesAnyone know if the following things are even possible?
1. Making a movie clip flicker via ActionScript (i.e., it's alpha changes constantly between two values for a set period of time).
2. 'Flipping' a movieclip horizontally via ActionScript.
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]

View 1 RepliesI Have the drag and drop working where you drag a text movieclip onto a picture of an object movieclip but having some problems. I know its something to do with the hitTest function but when i drop the word "cow" onto the picture of a dog it actually says this is correct by displaying the word cow above the picture of the dog when instead it shouldnt allow me to drop the text onto the picture which doesnt match.
Basically i need to know how to seperate the drag hitTest function for the DogPic/DogText so that it has its own function to detect a hit. At the moment you can see in the below code I have 1 hittest fucntion detecting both collisions when they need seperate functions I tried making a seperate function for each but it didnt work

I have a file where there is a magnet being dragged horizontal. When the magnet is on the left there is a electrical current flowing down, when it's at the right the current flows up. What I want is to have the two electrial currents play at certain points during the drag.So in the beginning the 1st current plays, which is a separate MC. Then once the user drags the magnet to the right the 2nd current MC begins to play and the 1st one becomes invisible. Then the cycle needs to repeat once the magnet gets dragged back to the left.[code]

View 1 RepliesI'm attempting to make an AS3 class that allows me to drag an object with easing. I've looked around the net and put this together.I have created this class as startDrag() doesn't allow easing. I've almost got it working but there is a problem where the registation point of the movielclip snaps to the mouse position (this is the equivalent of having "lockcenter:boolean" in startDrag() set to "true")this is the problem bit in my script:
targetX = mouseX;
targetY = mouseY;

Goal: Now, I want to be able to drag and drop this character movieclip around the stage as I please, leaving him wherever I want, with all of his movements still going on AND the mouseover movements as well.Logic: Since, when the mouse is over this character, I need the drag option area to be a little x or any object close to him, so it doesnt interfere with the movieclips mouse over effects. (could simply be a little rectangle saying: drag me)Problem: Iave no idea how to do this... I am only now starting with this Actionscript world! Donī get me wrong, I am not lazy, Ive been researching but couldnt find exactly what Im looking for.
View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip that I am dragging onto another movie clip and i want it to stay put. But once I add in another 'OR' statement in the if statement, it freaks out and doesn't work. Why is this?
This code works:
btn1.onRelease=function(){
stopDrag();
if(eval(this._droptarget) != btn1Hold) {
this._x=this.startX;
this._y=this.startY;
} else{
//CODE
}}
This code DOES NOT work:
Code:
btn1.onRelease=function(){
stopDrag();
if( (eval(this._droptarget) != btn1Hold) || (eval(this._droptarget) != btn2Hold) ) {//CHANGED LINE
[Code] .....
For whatever reason it doesn't like the extra 'OR' in the if statement! why!?
I am basically trying to create a menu which can be dragged across the stage. I have created a main movieclip which acts as the holder. This is the movieclip that gets dragged around. Within that movieclip there are 6 buttons. I am using the MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN and MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP eventlisteners to control the dragging however it is not working correctly.
When i compile to SWF it is fine. I click down the mouse button on the movieclip and It will start dragging however if i let go of the button it registers a click. Obviously i don't want it to do that but i'm not sure why it is registering a click as i thought that i was just releasing the button...
The second problem is if i move the mouse cursor off of the movieclip but i still have the mouse button pressed it will continue dragging the movieclip about, even if i then let go of the button.[code]...
I created a movie clip (which I add to the main class of the scene in FlashCS5 with addchild). Its registration point is on its upper left. Its class is:[code]The problem is that it is not moving properly, like jittering.
