ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Bounderies For Movieclip Controlled By The Mouse?
Jan 11, 2010
I have a movieclip that moves on the x axis and is controlled by the mouse. I want to set boundaries for the movieclip so it won't go past a certain section on the stage.For example, say there is a rectangle on the stage and the paddle is supposed to appear to be inside the rectangle. I hope this makes sense.The movieclip is called mcPaddle. Here is my code.
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, movePaddle);
function movePaddle(event:MouseEvent):void
[code].....

I am trying to get a MC to stay within certain boundaries of the stage. I want it to appear as if it was in a rectangle. It moves along the x axis. Think of a paddle in a basic pong game.What this code does is moves the paddleMC to the left coordinate when the mouse is moved, then gets stuck there.Is there any way to set the boundaries for mc on the x axis when controlled by the mouse?here is my code.mcPaddle is the movieclip I'm trying to set the boundaries for.
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, movePaddle);
function movePaddle(event:MouseEvent):void

i was wondering if theres a way to link the amount and direction of an objects rotation to the mouse position. I want it so if you move the mouse far to the left the object spins fast anticlockwise but if you move it to the center it stops.

I have created this spinning diamond flash with a dynamic frame rate controlled by the mouse cursor. it spins from the right to the left if the cursor is at the left side of the diamond and vice verse, and also the further away the cursor is from the middle of the diamond, the faster it spins.
it works perfectly awesome in Firefox and by itself, but when it's in IE, the cursor loses control of frame rate, so it spins at the highest frame rate regardless where the cursor is at. I used nextFrame(), prevFrame() to do the winding and rewinding job, and frame rate gets changed in ENTER_FRAME. I've heard some say that IE ignores frame rate per frame? is it true? if so, how do I fix it?

I want to make an interface that can be controlled by the mouse or by the arrow keys - the only simlat to what I'm trying to achieve is the game Colin McRae.
Lets say I have 3 buttons. If I move my mouse on any of them it gets an mouse over effect.
What I want to do is to combine this with the arrow keys that should be able to jump between the buttons - and the one selected is in the "over" state - to select it I press return.

Basically, my problem is that i've got 15 buttons labeled Channel 1 to Channel 15, but when the page first loads up, it skips down showing the very last button at the bottom, rather than the very first button at the top. The top button is off the screen.

I'm curious, can I have more than one line (different styles) laying over each other, controlled by one mouse event? I hope that's clear....what i'm looking to do is add some depth to the line that is drawn by the user....this seems like it sould be the easiest if it is possible. I've tried duplicating the "line" object but whatever one is last in the script ends up on top by itself.

I need to set a mouse-controlled scrolling animation to ease when it starts and when it stops in AS2. Here's my current onEnterFrame script. Might be a little crude, but it succeeds in starting and stopping the animation when the mouse rolls off the movie. Moves left on one side and right on the other. I just want the starting and stopping to be eased a bit.

I'm currently working on a AS3.0 project in Flash. I have a main movie clip in flash on the stage. This mc contains 3 frames. They represent the pages in my application. In each of those frames are a lot of nested MCs. Such as menu buttons, display content for the MC buttons, etc. Everything is controlled by a class extending from MovieClip. When I run the application and press the green button on the second frame in a nested MC of the main Movie Clip on the stage. The event must jump to the 3th frame in that main MovieClip.
Here's the problem
If I immediately press the green button, everything works great.
But this does not happen when I press a different menu button first.

I basically made movie clip buttons to navigate through my site, has sounds and all...now all i need those buttons to do is to call out a .swf file from a certain directory. I know how to do this with the traditional button, but not with a movie clip button since it requires a function. This is what I have tried and failed with so far:
// PROFILE SECTION BUTTON //
this.profile_mc.onRollOver = function(){
profile_mc.gotoAndPlay("_over");

i have a darkBlueRect rectangle sprite and a copy of the same sprite with a larger scale and a lighter color - lightBlueRect.i'm attempting to shift the location of the lightBlueRect according to the mouse.x location when the mouse is moving over the darkBlueRect. this way if the mouse is on the right of the darkBlueRect than the location of the scaled up lightBlueRect will be on the opposite side and shifted towards the left proportionate to the mouse position and scale. in addition, the lightBlueRect must appear "locked" to the darkBlueRect so lightBlueRect.x must never be more than darkBlueRect.x and lightBlueRect.x + lightBlueRect.width must never be less than darkBlueRect.x + darkBlueRect.width.

like my movie container in my _root, how do i set it`s alpha to 0? does this work: _root.contMovie.setAlpha(0); ? or is there any other possibility to set it`s alpha to 0?
the best thing for me would be if i could fade it to alpha via AS command, i can't control it direct because the movieclip is 2 levels above....:-)

I have an MovieClip star with a setup var X which is set to 0 for the thing I'm duplicating, namely star
===Star======
onClipEvent(load){
x=0;
}
If I duplicate the clip a bunch of times so I have Star0....N. Is there a way to set the x value here to the i value of the loop for each object duplicated. Such that star0 will have its x=0, star2 has its x=1 and so on.
setProperty wont do it or _root["star"].x=i;

I have a movie clip, behind a mask, and I am trying to control the position it moves to, dependent on the menu button pressed.
If I am honest I am trying to copy the effect used in www.lostinbeta.com when pages are loaded.I have got everything working, but currently I do not know how to set the finishing x position depending on the button pressed.
I think the issue is becuase I am trying to use the technique to make the movement slowdown as it reaches its correct co-ordinates.

I'm having trouble defining the width of an mc based on an entry in an array.
Here's what I have...
var arr_obama:Array = new Array();
arr_obama[0] = {Name:"mc_obama1" , Frame:"obama1", Width:"34"};
arr_obama[1] = {Name:"mc_obama2" , Frame:"obama2", Width:"143"};
arr_obama[2] = {Name:"mc_obama3" , Frame:"obama3", Width:"23"};
[Code]....
Basically what I want is when you rollover the mc obamaxx it makes the mc_bar the width as defined in the Width entry in the array.

I have three mc's that look like cd's Three instances of the same movie clip. They go into a player onRelease. If I click on a cd it looks if any other cd's are clicked. If any of them are clicked then it tells them to gotoAndPlay (thisKeyFrame) in that cd movie clip (which would be a simple tween and will look like the cd comes back out). I tried setting variables in the cdMovie clip like on the first frame onValue="no" but once it goes in and stops the onValue="yes". And then I had AS on each cd looking if the onValue variable is yes or no in each one of them.

I am currently trying to set a movieclips alpha property from an external text file. The movieclip is called Text_Main_Slide1
The text file:
banner_settings_468x60.txt
which contains:
&Alpha_Main_Slide1=0&
I have currently written:
loadVariables("banner_settings_468x60.txt", 0);
Text_Main_Slide1._alpha = Alpha_Main_Slide1;
which doesn't work.I can however set it manually: Text_Main_Slide1._alpha = 0;
But I need to be able to set the number from the text file.

I have a button function the launches a small movieClip (like a window). Inside this movieClip is your typical keypad.
Code:
package com {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
public class Login extends MovieClip{
[Code].....
I'm trying to next a series of keypad buttons inside the new loginBox instance, so they'll be referenced as loginBox.key1 etc etc.
I want to set their x/y coordinates before they are added to the stage (loginBox.key1.x = 23) , but obviously they don't exist yet.
I'm missing the way to get around this. The very last line of the above code is my hack attempt so far, and it's still causing me problems.
If you have 5 or 6 different components in your library that you want to put inside of eachother from *.as files
