i am trying to make a system that randomly chooses an element movieclip out of 7 types of elements, and then creates that element on the screen. Right after i create the 25 random elements, i attempt to set their location, but they wont budge, my patients are wearing thin with this.Here is my short snippet where it all happens.
ActionScript Code:
for (var j=0; j<25; j++)
{

i have an .as class that extends mx.containers.Canvas (it's a draggable border of a resizable component), it becomes draggable on MOUSE_DOWN and stops being draggable on MOUSE_UP, MOUSE_OUT and ROLL_OUT. before calling startDrag() i create a Rectangle to define the drag area, i also have a _dragging: Boolean variable to control if it's draggable at the moment. the problem is that when i click this border it jumps to a negative coordinate without calling startDrag or switching _dragging to true.
i've overriden get x, set x, get y, set y and move() methods in order to solve it but the only thing i got was the fact that position changes without calling coords setters or move(), but at the moment it's changed a getter is called and returns new (negative) value so my question is what happens on startDrag() and how to filter unwanted incoming coords values?
Am just a begineer with Actionscript but am picking up quite quickly. I been racking my brains and can't seem to find a solution. Basiaclly I've got 5 movieclips on the stage which are draggable. How can i get a message to appear in a text box if the first movieclip is moved higher than the second movie clip?

I'm trying to limit the range with which a movieclip can be moved on the stage using the mc_name._y = mc_name._y + 10. I'm thinking of using a if/else statement but I can't figure out the proper way to write the code.I don't want my movieclip to be able to be moved off the stage completely.Here is the code so far:
zoomin.onRelease = function () {
tellTarget("a")

I have a simple flight simulator animation. When the mouse is moved over a movieclip (mcHitArea) on the stage the code below moves 2 indicator lines as well as 2 jet images and the background. The problem is that when the mouse runs off, say, the left side of mcHitArea, that mouse location is recorded. Then if the mouse is brought back in from the other side of mcHitArea the images are rotated way off course. These images never come back to center.

I have made an animation consisting of 7 different MC's - each accessed by a hidden button. When I play the individual swf files, with sounds, they work fine. When I place them on the main timeline and export the swf, as soon as I click on any of the buttons, ALL the music/sounds play no matter what MC I'm playing. It is a cacophony of sound that I need to fix before 10th August - when I need to hand the project into University for marking.
View 1 RepliesIn my file I have used greensock transform manager class. At he same time I have used a code to generate text field at runtime which can be moved and deleted. Now the problem is that If I select the text box and then select the black box, the text box will lose its selection.Now if I delete the black box the text box will also be deleted . I don't know why it happens every time. But if i select and delete the text box , then only the text box will be deleted, which is quite natural.

Okay I have a script in which I have added an image to the stage. It is absolute centered. I then have another with is on top but much bigger. I would like the big image to move opposite of my mouse position on the smaller image. ie: cursor is on bottom left corner the bottom left corner of the larger image is in the same spot. And the same thing for any other area.
I have tried many different ways but to no avail. I have done research but no one has been able to give me a solid answer. Anyone know of a way to accomplish this. Keep in mind this it needs to work regardless of the image size.
I load an image into a MovieClip. At a second time I want to move this image to another MovieClip.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a movieclip move slower at a certent place in my movieclip. This means, that the speed needs to be lowered when e.g. showing af picture. Here is the situation. I have a movieclip running different pictures. E.g. the first runs for 115frames and fades out. Instead of runing 115 frames i want the movieclip to run 5 frames (picture fading in) and the stops or delays for 10sek and then goes to frame 6 from where the picture fades out. Where in the movieclip should i place this Action Script?

View 6 RepliesThis may come across as beginner stuff: I'm working In ActionScript 3.0. I have a MovieClip called FloorStatusChanges and within it are two MovieClips called Floors and StatusChanges.The MC called Floors contains Three wireframe-looking floors(each floor has it's own MC).The MC called StatusChanges contains three buttons that have the Instance Names of FirstFloorButton, SecondFloorButton, and ThirdFloorButton.Within the FloorStatusChanges MC, I've set up a motion tween for these wireframe-looking floors to move into and out of the stage so that upon clicking one of the buttons in StatusChanges it would, in theory, cause this motion tween to happen. It has stop(); commands between every motion:Within the StatusChanges MC, there are 4 layers. 3 are for each button consecutively and 1 for the Actionscript. This is how they look:Here's the set of actions I've given for the first frame:
ActionScript Code:
SecondFloorButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, SecondFloorSelect);
function SecondFloorSelect(e:Event){
[code]....
I have made a movieclip and gave the frame this actionscript:
------------------------------------------------------------
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {[code]........
it moves fine and stuff but i was wondering how can i restrict the area in which the movieclip can actually move ? my flash file is 550px X 400px and i want to make it so that it can only move in 300px X 200px of the file if you understand ?
On the default page, I have scattered photos. Once "Clothes" is clicked, it contains a page flip. When the page flip is loaded, I would like for the scattered photos to hide. If this can't be done, then the page flip should be on top of the scattered photos. Right now it's not doing either. Reference: [URL]
View 15 RepliesI am working on an animated menu, and I have the animations for the submenus about how I like them. The only problem now is that you can work the menu in such a way that sometimes two menus are open at once. What I need as a solution is a bit of ActionScript that would work something like this on a button for Menu A:
on (rollOver) {
if Menu B or Menu C are at frame 15 (this is where the menu is fully expanded),
then have that menu gotoAndPlay(20) (where it will play till 25, clearing out the submenu).
}
I want to make a line, convert it to a movieclip and then put some as3 code that does this:When moving mouse only top of line follow the bottom of the line is always in its original position.

View 4 RepliesBasically, what I'm trying to accomplish is moving a movieclip towards the direction it's facing.I've been scoping around the net for different ideas on how to do it, but I've only found AS2 tuts.
What I've done already is making the movieclip rotate around it's own center when the user presses either the left or the right arrow-key.What I'm now trying to accomplish is to make the movieclip move forward to the direction it is currently facing when the user presses up and vice versa for pressing down.

View 0 RepliesAt the start of my movie (its a game), you press a button that moves you to the second frame where the game starts when called by a function on the main timeline called startThisGame(). A symbol called "player" is spawned from a class called Player and when right or left arrow are pressed it responds by moving left and right. Problem: The "player" wont respond to key presses unless I first click anywhere on the actual game window, either in test mode or after publishing. This did not happen before and now it does.
