ActionScript 3.0 :: Updating Mouse Coordinates Inside Loops?
Aug 31, 2011
I'm figuring out a way to update my mouse x and y inside a loop. In this small test block, I'm tracing the mouseX and mouseY twice. The first one is outside a loop. The second one is inside a loop.
When I test the SWF, you can see that the first trace changes constantly and seamlessly. But when you hold your mouse down, the code starts tracing the 2nd trace. Even though the mouse is down and moving, the mouseX and mouseY traced is not changing.
Actionscript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;import flash.events.Event;var mouseIsUp:Boolean = true;stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDown);stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
[Code]....
Closely related to the main question, when you click the stage, you would get 100 lines of the 2nd trace. Is there a way to break the loop as soon as the mouse is up?

PHP Code:
private function thumb_dragStart(e:TouchEvent):void {
StartstageX = mouseX;
prevX = mouseX;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,checkMouseDir);
addEventListener(TouchEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragStop);
function checkMouseDir(e:Event):void {
I am trying to use the ENTER_FRAME to update the coordinate of my mouse when the mouse click is down but when I extend to touch, the enter frame doesn't seems to work, because my mouse is no more on that stage, the enter frame cannot locate the movement of my mouse on the SimTouch neither on CCV. What other method I should use so that I can check the coordinate of my mouse or finger movement on the flash platform?

I am wondering if someone were able to do what I am trying to achieve using MC Tween 2. I need to be able to update X, Y coordinates while the tweening is running. I don�t want to restart it but update X, Y values. For example, I want to modify the distance to travel on an object in given time. It means that if tweening started with distance to travel 100px on Y coordinate and time to ravel is set to 10 seconds and if I change Y coordinate within 1 second of 10 to 200 px the the rest 9 seconds will tween the object to the 200 px point.

I'm making a simple puzzle-building game. It's working, but I have just spotted an odd in-game behaviour...When I pick up a piece of the puzzle and move to the left side of the swf, the game runs at a playable frame rate. The farther I move the mouse to the right, the frame rate (or at least update rate) seems to drop.The only code it's running at that point is a method that checks which piece is carried and moves that piece's x and y coords to match the mouse.I've already tried using 'updateAfterEvent' with no change.

how I can access the coordinates of an mc, but its coordinates with respect to the stage.
What I am doing is using a dragging function, but while the mouse is moving I am also trying to trace the position of the mc itself with respect to its position on the stage, but it seems to keep giving me very small numbers, almost like numbers with respect to its original position. I am not sure yet though why this is. Here is my code:
[Code]....
I have also tried to get rid of the this.x = mouseX and the same for y, but then it returns the values as undefined when i trace this.x and this.y

Excuse the title, had no idea what to call this. I'm creating a simple game with the following components (added picture for clarity):
[URL]
1. Character - The symbol in the center of the stage.
2. Level - The bounds surrounding the stage. Everything in this picture is contained within the level except for the character.
3. Water - The blue square. The water symbol is located within the level symbol.
4. Water droplet - The blue dot floating above the water. This is also located within the level symbol.
Using the arrow keys the player controls the movement of the level. While the character symbol is always located at x=275, y=200 (center stage), the level symbol's coordinates change whenever the arrows are pressed. This gives the player the illusion that they are controlling the character.
When the player makes the character symbol touch the water symbol, I want to move the water droplet to the location of the character. The problem is, I can't for the life of me figure out the coordinates I need as they will always be different depending on where the character touched the water. It's important that the water droplet be inside of the level symbol because after the player drops the water I need it to act as if it's moving with the surroundings.
tl;dr: I essentially need to find the x and y distance from the character symbol to the origin of the level symbol, keeping in mind that the level symbol's location is always changing and that both symbols are located on the stage.

I'd like to use the x and y mouse coordinates as variables in a program. I'm very new to Flash and ActionScript and I'm not even sure which classes I need to import or which listeners or handlers I need to use.

I have encountered really bad problem in one of our Flex projects. For some reason Flash can't get mouse coordinates properly. It returns something like (-107374182.4, -107374182.4) instead of good numbers. This happens when I'm using MOUSE_MOVE event in FF 3.6 on Mac OSX 10.6.3 with Flash Player 10. I have drag-n-drop in this projects, so with such ugly huge coords object goes far out of stage. Can't find solution in web, but there are some relative notes found...
For example, some info regarding 107374182.4 number can be found in internet.It seems 107374182.4 is something like NaN equivalent for some versions of Flash Player.Also I have found some notes regarding wrong mouse handling on Mac.The most interesting words there are: "on OSX it takes at least 1 frame to register the mouse's position". But it seems in my case it affects not only first frame after MOUSE_DOWN fired.Finally, there are movie on YouTube that demonstrates MOUSE_MOVE bug on FF/Mac.
I have tried:
- to get MouseEvent.stageX, MouseEvent.stageY (problem encountered);
- to get DisplayObject.root.mouseX, DisplayObject.root.mouseY (problem still appear, coordinates are bad);
- to use startDrag, stopDrag (it looks bugged too);
- to embed SWF into HTML with different wmode values.

I need to get the mouse x and y coords for a game I'm making. I know how to do it with fererence to another movie clip, button, textbox, ... but not to the stage.If all else fails, I will attach a movie clip at (0,0) and then get the x and y coords from there, but if there is a simpler way, I would like to do that.

I have a flash clip that moves a movieclip when the mouse is clicked on the movieclip. Something very basic. I'm not using drag (since the MC doesn't move with the mouse all the time), but rather using onMouseMove to update the MC location according to _xmouse, _ymouse and some other calculations. The problem was that under internet explorer the movement became very slow and if I kept moving the mouse slowly, it wouldn't update until I stopped. I checked the traces and the event was triggered properly. I tried using updateAfterEvent(); This didn't happen in firefox. (After a long, frustrating debugging I eventually found out what caused this. Since I've looked for the answer online and didn't find one, I've decided to add it here for others.)

I googled for almost a day to find the answer to my question: [URL]. This almost works (and is a great solution), but the solution doesn't work when I do:
1). Copy and paste multiple-line texts.
2). Write long and scroll the texts.
I also found another working example at: [URL]. (The autocomplete prompt appears when you press ctrl+space right at the caret's position). But an email from its author says he uses monotype fonts to calculate individual character's location. Is there a way to get multi-line input from a textfield?

I'm trying to create a simple site that when you move the mouse to the right of the screen a movie clip rotates one way abt 45 degrees and moves the other way when the mouse moves to the left.
I'm trying to get the effect of a horizon line rotating to the mouses movement around the screen.

how to put mouse coordinates into an if statement, but as an 'if more than' but also 'if less than'. Something like:
Code:
if (mouseX > 190, but also <210) {
//do something
}
Is it possible to also do a similar thing to also include the Y position, to create a box of some sorts based on mouse position?
Something like:
Code:
if (mouseX > 190, but also < 210, mouseY > 20, but also < 100) {
//do something
}
I think it may have something to with setting each position as a var and pushing them into an array, but I can't get my head around it.

I have a Movieclip (MC1) with and moving object (OBJ1) inside it and using AS3. I want to do a hit test on it with another object (OBJ2) that is on the stage. Normally I would just do MC1.x + OBJ1.x to get my coords for the hit test. But how do I do it if MC1 has been rotated?
