I have the AS to move pictures around (like a jigsaw puzzle i guess), im just struggling with setting boundaries so that the pieces cannot be dragged off the stage...
Im presuming setting the boundaries is a matter of adding X and Y values or similar.
Code:
function AddYCoins():void
{
for (var i:int = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
var Ycoin:YCoin = new YCoin();
[Code]...
This function creates 10 instances of my YCoin and places it around the stage. But i wish the coins to only fall in specific areas, (i.e. i have 8 green rectangles, names area1,area2 etc) because the idea is you have to collect the coins but only staying on the green rectangles.
i knows its the stage.stageWidth i need to change but i cant think what to change it too!
I have a flex tree with dragMoveEnabled = true. I want to find out, when an item is dragged into itself or it's children. I'd like to use DragManager.showFeedback(DragManager.NONE) in the tree's onDragOver handler, but can't find out how get this to work. I'm using an ArrayCollection of nested objects as dataSource for the tree.
View 2 RepliesI have made a flash application and in this flash application I have included a jigsaw puzzle. The application is wrote on one timeline and certain frames are used as different pages within the application.
The problem is once the jigsaw drag and drop are moved the pieces are displayed on all frames instead of just the one jigsaw puzzle frame I created.
How can I make these drag and drop items not be shown on the other frames?[code]...
On the attached exercise, is it possible to stop further items being dragged onto a target when the target box is full?
View 1 RepliesIm am trying to make boundaries on my stage for my MC box1_mc, there are no errors but it doesnt seem to work.. Here is the code..
function limitStageBorder(box1_mc) {
var box1_x:Number = stage.stageWidth - box1_mc.width;
var box1_y:Number = stage.stageHeight - box1_mc.height;[code]......
I realize there have been a number of other threads on this subject, but none of the solutions seems to be working for me.
I am developing a flash file, that will dynamically load other swf's and play them on screen, but the loaded swfs are displaying things outside of their stage boundaries. I had limited success setting up a custom mask, that masked off all areas outside of the loaded swf. The problem is that when the loaded swf adds dynamic content to the stage, the new content ignores the mask.
Sorry for lack of terminology but I want to create movie clips with moving graphics or objects and so want to see the boundaries of the stage. At present the whole area is filled with my stage colour. A setting somehwere?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to achieve this result. [URL]. Its a really nice effect. I have this code:
function accelScroller(myTarget) {
myMiddle = Stage.width/2;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
moveDist = myMiddle-_root._xmouse;
myTarget._x += moveDist/20;
} accelScroller(imgBar);
I have a movie clip with all my images, this code allows me to go either right or left and decrease the speed either if i go to the right or left. But I want the the scrolling effect to stop when it reaches the end, either left or right side. How do I do that? You can download the fla file here [URL]
What do I have to do so that a text field will display outside the boundaries of the current stage? For instance, let's say I have a stage that is 300 x 200, and I want to add a text field that is 100x400
View 4 Repliesexactly how do I add boundaries or some kind of listener to my stage? The size is:
x = 900
y = 900
im looking to end my game if the player moves beyond the screen area.
I think there is a simple solution to this question, just not simple enough for me to find it.Question:How do you constrain a TitleWindow in Flex 3 from being dragged off the screen/stage? Is there a way to restrict the TitleWindow to the viewing area? Example: Let's say I have an application that take 100% of the screen. Next, I create a TitleWindow via the PopUpManager. I can then proceed to click and hold (drag) that window off the screen, then release the mouse button. That window is now lost off-screen somewhere. Is there a way to keep the window from being dragged beyond the viewing area?
View 6 RepliesI have a number of instances of a MovieClip on stage. These are dragged onto the stage and arranged manually. Now, I would like to alter the instances during run time, using as2 code.
how can I name all the instances of the same MovieClip dragged onto the stage, using as2 code? (specify if the solution involves exporting the library MovieClip with an identifier name)
First let me say I'm relatively new to AS 3 and I've scoured the Internet looking for a simple solution to no avail.Here's my general situation:1) I have dragged a movieclip with an instance name of a_mc onto the stage.2) On the first frame of the timeline I am importing a class file and calling its constructor:
Code:
import cardmaker.*;
var coverMaker:CoverMaker = new CoverMaker();

View 6 RepliesIs there any way to set the depth level for a movie clip that is dragged to the stage, rather than created in Action Script.
View 10 RepliesI have a movie clip (pano_mc) that I can click and drag left and right. When I drag it to the right, it stops dragging when the left edge of the clip reaches the left edge of the stage. This is great!
When I drag the image to the left, the right side edge if the clip does not stop at the right edge of the stage, but continues to click and drag until it reaches the left edge of the stage.
I need the left edge of the clip to stop at the left edge of the stage and the right edge of the clip to stop at the right edge of the stage.
Here is the code I have so far
The pano_mc is registered to the top right corner and is 7024px in length. I know it is a bit large. The axis_mc is anchored to the upper left.

I need to use a Timer for time controlled animation, time the drawing to occur every 500 milliseconds & Draw 20 circles in total. I also need to make sure the circles are completely drawn inside the limits of the stage...

// creates a new hundred-second Timer, ticks every 250 milliseconds

- I have A.fla.
- A.fla includes buttons, movie clips and also B.swf is loaded in A.fla using a LOADER
- i want to access elements in A.fla, from the actionscript codes inside B.fla to modify those movie clips and buttons based on actions going on in B.swf
for instance, lets say there is a button X in A.fla, and there is a button Y in B.fla, B.swf is loaded into A.fla, and I want the button Y to erase button X when clicked.
general question: accessing elements in a stage, through a SWF file loaded into that stage.
I'm trying to create a boundary for a player object, controlled with arrow keys, in my game using the main stage's height and width. For example, one test point is at the top edge of the player object's bounding box so that when the player object's head touches the stage's top edge, the player can't move anymore to the north. The player object is manually instantiated to the center of the stage by using the Flash stage editor so it will start at the center before the program starts.The problem is that right at the start of the program, I can no longer move the player object up or down with the arrow keys but I can still move it left or right. The intention is to allow the player to move north until the player object's head touches the top edge of the main stage.[code]

View 0 RepliesAs this involves assorted dragging interactions to understand this explanation take a look at the file.URL...it should work like the last item on this page, called exploring kite interactive Url...I have a mc which includes 5 dots that can be dragged in various ways.each one needs to be limited to the stage area when it is being dragged.The limit should only apply to the dot when being dragged. If a dot being dragged causes another to exit the stage area that is fine.I have tried a few ways, none work too smoothly.One issue is that a dot which stops dragging at the edge can be hard to pick again.Another issue is that if you drag really fast you can drag a dot offstage. This is usually when the top or bottom dot is dragged quickly from where it has stopped at the edge and the mouse is released just outside the stage.FLA is attached.

In actionscript 2 if you wanted items on the stage to not appear to the user you would just use the onclipevent(load) and then move them, alpha them and so on. In as 3 I cannot figure out how to get the items off of the stage before the stage renders them. There's always a flash of the stage items and then they disappear. What should I use? I don't like the addChild method because it's impossible to design a site that way. I like all my items on the stage and then go from there...
View 7 RepliesI have an app that uses several Loader objects to load extenral swf files. Things go well except for one point. I have a quiz element that's loaded through a loader named 'quiz'. When the quiz is done, I remove the quiz element with removeChild(quiz). The quiz disappears from the screen every time except for one question. I can't identify what's going on differently for that question. I've debugged this and can see that my quiz object is set to null, but I can plainly see the quiz still onscreen.
To further confuse me, I use the same loader object multiple times through the app, and just add it and remove it from the display list with addChild and removeChild. When my one problem question comes up and fails to go away, the app continues to the next question, and I can see that there are now 2 quiz objects stacked on top of each other. I have no idea how this can happen when I'm using the same loader object for all the questions.

I am adding few items dynamically from the library to the stage by creating instances. If I remove them using removeChildAt() then the item gets removed from the display but exists in the memory. How can I remove this from memory?
View 2 RepliesI am using the CS4 version and when I click on the library item and drag it to the stage, there is nothing there. It is just a blank canvas and it's like the image(s) are hidden behind the stage or something. When I do a Publish Preview, I can see the .swf file with all the images, but in the .fla, there is nothing showing but the text files, and then that is even hidden in a newly created file. I am not sure if I accidently turned something on/off that is preventing my images from not showing on the stage or what. I really need to find a solution to this problem because I need to create a Flash file for a project I am working on in one of my classes. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I have done Google searches and Forum searches to no avail unless I'm not using the right keywords in my search.
