ActionScript 3.0 :: Slideshow Speed From Mouse Position?
Apr 24, 2011
I've got a slideshow script that I've been using and I wanted to modify it a bit. I wanted to make it so that the further away from the center the mouse cursor is, the slower the slideshow. The closer to the center of the flash document, the faster it goes.Here's the code I've got thus far:
I have a circle wheel i want to rotate and the speed should be based on the mouse position. I also need to have easing in and out.
When the user hovers over the bottom of the circle it will begin to rotate one way and then th top of the circle would make it rotate the other way. The further to the top or bottom they are the quick it spins. It ideally needs to ease in and out when it starts and stops when the user moves the mouse away.
The circle will be the complete movie so 50% top and bottom each for each direction.
Trying to create (and learn) an effect I see often where a series of photos (side-by-side) will scroll across and when your mouse draws nearer to the centerpoint it slows down enough to be able to click on it.
How can i detect mouse speed with AS 3.0, and then put speed limit? Also can i use speed var for anything else? *sorry for my bad English, i live in non-english-speaking country*
I am using this tutorial to do a slideshow intro and need the ability to change the speed at which the fade occurs. Currently you can do this by changing the frame rate, but if it stays this way it will be overwritten once it is housed in the main flash movie.
Basically the x position of the mouse should control the play position of a movie. Do I need something like an event handler (I'm not sure exactly what these do, but I've seen similar scripts that seem to use them).
I have an Input Text area that users can edit and then submit. I need to be able to show, on screen, the cursor's current position as they type. I don't need to know where the mouse is but all work-arounds I've found so far can only tell me the mouse position. The font for the text is 'courier' or 'courier new' and the Input Text area is scrollable.
I have a map application that when I use the mouse wheel the map will scale up or scale down. The next thing I want to do is to focus on the mouse pointer while zooming on the part of the map.
I have this code...
function focusMousePosition(){ onMouseMove = function (){ Stage.width = _root._xmouse; Stage.height = _root._ymouse; updateAfterEvent(); }} var mouseWheelListener = new Object();var wheelNum:Number; mouseWheelListener.onMouseWheel = function(wheelNum){ focusMousePosition(); if (wheelNum > 0){ map._xscale *= 0.9; map._yscale *= 0.9; }else{ map._xscale *= 1.1; map._yscale *= 1.1; }}Mouse.addListener(mouseWheelListener);
The problem with this code is that it scales from the registration point (0,0). Due to the other transformations I'm doing to this image at various times, it isn't possible to move the registration point. The image is larger than the stage and the user is able to drag it around. I want the mouse wheel to zoom in on the place the mouse is hovering over (or at a minimum...the center of the "view" they have...aka the stage)I tried doing this:
Code: internalPoint = new Point(Map.mouseX, Map.mouseY); externalPoint = new Point(stage.mouseX, stage.mouseY); var matrix:Matrix = Map.transform.matrix;
[code]....
Which, incidentally, I'm using that whole portion of code to zoom into the state they will be in when they use the mouse wheel.
Some 360 degree animation is spinning on screen. Now: I would like to control the rotation with the XY of the mouse: e.g. I move the mouse to the left side, the animation is spinning leftwards. I move the mouse farther left, the anim. is spinning leftwards and faster. Naturally the same thing should work for the right side.
I am trying to do something quite simple but i am stuck. I have a huge object on screen and i want to do a mouse pan effect. But the panning speed will vary depending on the mouse distance from the center. e.g. the more left you get the mouse the faster it should move.
I am going to work on a game for my kids. Mot sure if it is a good idea for a game but it is an opportunity to learn more AS3. Anyway, Is there a way to run a function after the mouse has moved a certain speed for a certain amount of time? As if you were shaking somehting and then it explodes. Is there a way to even sense the speed of the mouse or would it be better to sense the number of times the mouse changes direction?

I am trying to use rhamejs slideshow (located here) and I would like to move the scroller to a certain position on the stage but I'm not sure how to do it. My stage is 900px wide with a nav bar along the bottom. All I want to do is move the scroller to the right of my nav buttons and left of another button that is in the far right corner. I would like to stay within that space which expands depending on your browser/screen size. The main stage is set up to resize based on browser/screen size and all the nav buttons are anchored. I basically need the left edge of the scroller to be 535px from the left edge of the stage at all timesI need the right edge of the scroller to be 185px from the right edge of the stage at all times. I have tried editing these lines but after the width of your window gets to a certain point, the thumbs stop scrolling or disapear completely:
done a 3d object to rotate according to the position of the mouse while holding.Id like to add a blur effect to the MC while moving the mouse. So when the mouse is moving fast, the blur on the MC would 10, and if the mouse stoped, the blur would be 0.
I cannot find how to have an object follow the mouse at a CONSTANT speed. The code I keep on finding is something like this:[code]I don't know if I'm just missing some really simple detail, or some major idea, but I'm pretty sure something as easy as this is possible.
How would you calculate or determine the mouse speed on the stage? What i am trying to do is this:
You have a custom cursor which shows a plus sign when you very suddenly and fast change the direction of the mouse to the right. When you do the same to the left, the cursor changes to the minus sign.
However, if you steadily move the mouse from left to right while the mouse cursor is showing the minus sign, the mouse cursor stays the same, only on very fast change of direction the cursor changes?
how can i control my line thickness with the speed of the cursor?Right now ive got this code, but how can i convert (speed) into something that can be translated into thickness?
ActionScript Code: var prevPt:Point=new Point(mouseX,mouseY); addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,mouseSpeed); function mouseSpeed(e:Event){
I followed infinite menu tutorial somewhat successfully but not quite for this effect:The graphic is 2400 pixels wide and the movie is 600 pixels wide. But, for some reason it's skipping, and not showing the full image:What do I need to change in the code to make it roll continuously showing everything? I'm just clue
I am using Flash 8 and AS2. I have been looking and looking, but I cannot find how to have an object follow the mouse at a Constant speed. The code I keep on finding is something like this: Code: onClipEvent (load) { _x = 0; _y = 0; speed = 5; } onClipEvent (enterFrame) { endX = _root._xmouse; endY = _root._ymouse; _x += (endX-_x)/speed; _y += (endY-_y)/speed; } The "/speed" part makes the object move slower the closer it gets.
