ActionScript 3.0 :: Making Spacebar Act As Mouse For Making A Sidescroller?
Feb 8, 2011
For a project, I'm making an interactive side scroller.You move the character with the arrow keys and press the space bar to interact with things.So far, I followed DexNote's tutorial on YouTube.I thought that I would make the interactable objects as buttons, while the mouse focus would be on the character and when you press the space bar it make a mouse click in that area.The trouble I'm having now is that I don't know how to make the space bar trigger the "interactions."

When it starts, I switch tab to nr.2 (default is tab 1). I need to be able to hold down spacebar and drag the mouse to pan, but when I do this it switches back to the first tab. So the spacebar is triggering it to switch. I've tried using a custom lass that extends tabNavigator, like the code below, but it's not working. Also tried setting focusEnabled = false without luck.

I would like to make a flash movie with a picture, where when the user holds down the mouse button, part of another picture will emerge in that general area (like a magnifying glass looking into another dimension).
Technically, my idea was to make a flash file with two images, and then code the mouse to be able to make the top picture transparent in a circle-like area around the cursor, while the mouse button is down.
But how to do that? I am using Flash CS4, but I don't really care if the solution is in AS2, or AS3, as long as it works

How is an effect like this created? The effect is after you click "enter site", you see the background moves a bit when the viewer moves the mouse.[URL]

I was wondering if there was a way of making your mouse cursor stick to an object for a period of time when clicked?
eg. If i clicked "about" then the mouse would stick to that button while it slid to a new location on the stage. Once the tweening stops, you can move the mouse again.

How can I make a mouse event ignore, or skip over another object? Say I have a small Sprite on a Large sprite, I want it to act as if the small sprite isn't there, and pass the mouse events directly through to the larger sprite behind it. I've been searching for this for a while and have tried various things but no avail.

I'm working with actionscript 3 and have a trouble. I need to write player where users will see text on the front of the movie. The text is text field of type "Dynamic text". The problem is that I need to make this text object transparent for mouse move and clicks.
I tried:
.mouseEnabled=false;
.selectable=false;
when I click on it - it does not pass clicks through it.

I'm currently trying to make a class that changes the mouse cursor. I made it in a new class so that I can call it again whenever I needed it, but there are some errors and I don't know how to solve it. The class filename is Cursor. This class is not linked with the fla file.
Here's the ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.ui.Mouse;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Cursor extends MovieClip {
public function Cursor()
[Code] .....
This class will just let me type Cursor.makeCursor(cursorMovieClip); and the cursor will change. The problem is that Flash does not recognize "addChild" and "stage". Is it because the class isn't connected to the fla? Or do I need to import some stuff in? Also, flash does not recognize "obj" in the code line
ActionScript Code:
var cursor:MovieClip = new obj;

I need to know how to make a movie clip appear exactly where the user clicks.I have a button that is made up of four separate parts across the stage, and when you click a part of it, I'd like for a movie clip to appear on that button, where you just clicked.Rather than creating 4 separate movie clips (and four separate buttons) showing the same thing, can I just make one, and make it move to the location the user has clicked?Please let me know if this makes sense! Essentially, I'd like to know if there is a code that says "Make movie clip appear on location of mouse"

The specifications where as follows: there should be a black square in which there is a faint picture of a sign. The user must be able to draw in the square and when he repeats the contours of the sign correctly - a popup appears.I made myself familiar with the ways you can allow a user to draw. However I have no idea how would you know if the two shapes/signs match and whether the user at least approximately drew the correct contour/sign

I am trying to develop a sidescroller game in as3. Most of my confusion is coming from my lack of knowledge on the best way to strucutre the classes that control the games flow.For example, what would be the best way to change the game state from the main menu, to the in game state, WITH VISUAL TRANSITION INCLUDED?
The way I'm thinking of doing it now is adding event listeners to buttons, which remove the main menu MC and add a transition MC. Then I add an event listener to the transition MC to watch for the frame label "end of transition". This removes the transition MC and adds the GameContainer MC.

I am working on a Heads up display and I am having some problems. The Problems are i cant seem to get Flash to do what I want...I am relatively new to flash but I know that I need to use action script 2.0 and Kismet to make what I want happen. (I am using the UDK and Scaleform for the development of the game I am helping with)Here is what I am doing.
I am making a cross hair. When I highlight an enemy it should turn red. When it Highlights an ally it should turn blue.I have made a heart beat Monitor that needs a animation for a heartbeat and Flat lining. The Background of the Heart beat monitor Changes color according what has happened to the player, If the player Gets hit the background of the heartbeat monitor changes color. If the Player gets hit too much the Heart Beat Monitor will flat line.Then I am making a radar for the hud.

it seemed like a simple process but I cant seem to get this right... I got a button there, but the URL wont go, ie, the click does nothing.I imported a PSD layered image to Flash CS3, into a new blank layer. I need basically an area of this PSD to be "image mapped" so what I did was create a rectangle with the rect tool, over the area I needed the hot spot.Here I tried to do a transparent box and border (alpha 0) but the outline is still there even though the box is "empty." I did select the transparent box, no color, and tried alpha, both same result)I made that into a symbol, then I double clicked into there to fill in the key pts for the over, hit, etc., states.... I dont have any effects here btw, as simple as we can get.After that I right clicked on the buttonand entered the action script ("reserve" is the name of my button symbol)
reserve.onRelease=function(){
getURL("http://www.redeggnyc.com/menu2.htm");
}
