ActionScript 3.0 :: While Tween Ignore Mouse Event And Activate When Finished?
Sep 13, 2010
I have asked before but that was a week ago and ive changed alot of code. I am still having the same issue of trying to ignore MOUSE_MOVE while a tween plays and then reactivate MOUSE_MOVE on Finish. I have tried timers aswell to anticipate the finish with no luck as if i move some code a error #1009 happens.
I have alos tried motion_finished, if statements and even values with no luck as the code will just not function unless left as below.[code]...
got MC A and MC B. MC B is directly under MC A. They are both indepedent on the stage, meaning they are not children of a bigger mc container. They both have rollover events, how can I activate the rollover events of MC B??Im aware of mouseChildren and mouseEnabled, but that requires them to be in the same container...
In my isometric flash game I have some models with long shadows. I want to ignore the mouse events (move, click, down and up) when the user performs any action on the shadow part of the image. (see sample image) I know there is a way we can do it by creating a mask in flash. But what if I want to handle it on the .png images (bitmap)? Do I need to create a mask image for all such images? I think it will be very big deal unless there are easy ways (using tools in Photoshop).
I created a little news viewer, that when you roll over a button it plays an animation. The problem I am having is:if the mouse moves over the button (the animation starts)
then if the mouse moves off the button and then back over the button before the animation is over the animation snaps back to the first frame.Is there a way to tell flash to ignore this Double rollover until the animation is finished?
My stage has about 25 buttons on it. Each button when pressed to tweens the background to some random x/y coordinates and then loads an external swf file.This is all working, but the timing is off. How can I wait for the initial background tween to end before I make the loader call to the .swf file.Currently each button's behavior is called on the MouseEvent.CLICK event which calls a function that knows its unique filename.swf. I know you can add the MOTION_FINISH even to the tween event but then I would have to call a new function and lose track of the button that initially called it.
How to stop the next tween action to start until the previous tween completes playing in as3.0?and also i want to stop the tween to happen on the same object twice.Basically i have a container (movie-clip) in which there are n number of movie-clips (arranged as bricks). When i click on the container the target (brick) will disappear (made scaleX and alpha to 'o'). also i am tracking how many bricks are closed.But the problem is if i do a fast double click the tween seems to happen twice. and the count also seems to increase for the same brick.
All it does is tween the x and y positions of a circle and textfield. I've tinkered with it a bit by putting the tween functions in a separate Tweener class and made it accept whatever display object is passed to it. For demonstration purposes, I have it set up so that the tweens occur as soon as the circle and textfield are created. The problem is that I would like the tweens to occur only when they are clicked on. I don't know how tp do this. How do I write _circle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,... .) and _text.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, tweenerIt) so that they are the triggers?
if I have an event listerner (mouse, keyboard, enterframe,....event) that is being triggered, and when it finishes its event, something that is able to detect the finished event listener and fire out another sets of event.
It works more like MOTION_FINISH in TweenEvent, but it is only available for TweenEvent only, what if I want to detect a mousclick, keyboard, enterframe or even touch event?
For example there are 2 movieclips on the stage, Parent and Child. I want to be able to drag the parent clip around with the MouseDown event.I also want an event to fire on the MouseClick event on the Child clip. But i only want this MouseClick to happen the user clicks on the Child clip, and not when the MouseUp event fires after the user has finished dragging?Is there something that defines where the mouseup has originated in the Childs MouseClick event handler?
I have a solid movie clip that is overlayed with a grid movie clip. Actually they are sprites. The solid sprite underneath has a MOUSE_OVER event. I have set mouseChildren and mouseEnabled on the grid sprite to false so that it receives no events. The problem is that when I go over a grid line the sprite underneate still receives the MOUSE_OUT and then the MOUSE_OVER event again. Is there anyway to make the grid completely transparent to the mouse so that it won't trigger the MOUSE_OUT and MOUSE_OVEr events for the sprite underneath over and over?
I have a sprite containing a 3x3 grid of boxes. I have a rollover event attached to the container sprite, but I only want it to fire off when I go over some of the boxes, not all. I've tried using mouseEnable = false and mouseChildren = false on the relevant boxes within the sprite, but when the cursor rolls over ANY boxes within the container sprite it fires off the event, not just the ones I want to be activated.How can I get the mouse to ignore certain children within the container sprite, without actually taking them out of the sprite?
I've created something that works like a ToolTip in my Flex application. When I roll over a certain item renderer, I pop up a new control, position it, and remove it on roll out. The order of operations is like this:
Roll over event handler triggered. Add the tooltip to this.systemManager.topLevelSystemManager.toolTipChildren. On creation complete of my tooltip, set x, set y coordinates of the tooltip (on creation complete so the width and height are calculated since they are dynamic). Roll out event handler triggered. Remove tooltip.
This worked fine when I set the x and y coordinates to be x+10, y+10 from the current mouse position. I wanted to add something that re-positioned the tool-tip if it was going to be drawn partially off screen. I added a step that would calculate if it would be drawn off screen, and re-position the tooltip if it was going to be cut off.
The problem with my solution seems to be that it now runs in an infinite loop of redraws, since adding the tool-tip to the screen underneath the mouse triggers the "rollOut" on the item renderer. This triggers the removal of the tooltip, and starts the process over again from 1.
is there any way to ignore tooltip so it doesn't take the mouse focus away from the item renderer that is now under it?
In my game there is a podium which at some point can have people on it which are added as children. There is a mouseover event listener on the podium to bring up a rollover box. I only want this rollover to appear when the mouse is over the podium graphicPodium Sprite:Children )-> graphic:Sprite ( visuals for the podium )-> person:Sprite ( a person on the podium)(children) -> graphic:Sprite ( visuals for person)Now the problem is, the person graphic overlaps and extends beyond the podium one causing the rollover area to popup when the mouse is outside of the podium area if its over the perseon sprite.
I have a rectangle with an event listener like so:
rect.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMove); private function startMove(event:MouseEvent):void { this.nativeWindow.startMove(); }
this works fine.
I also have a button inside this rectangle, and when I click the button the window drags just like if I had clicked on the rectangle.
How can I stop this from happening? I tried removing the event but that didn't work, I don't even know which event to remove, the mouseDown or NativeDrag event... There is no stopDrag() function in nativeWindow.

I'm trying to make a couple's dress-up game with lots of characters. I wanted to make it so that when you click a certain character and pair it with a certain character, something special appears or happens. How do i make it so that this 'special' thing only appears when the certain two characters are both chosen.[code]...
Whats the best way of waiting until the tween is complete before attaching this movie. Basically I want the attached movie to appear once info._x == 20.
I have a tween animation using the tween class and I want to attach an MC when the tween has finished. I Know how to attach a movie clip and everything I just need to know how to fire it at the end of the animation. I know I could always do this with a time line but I would prefer to keep it all code.
I have a button with a MovieClip over the top of it. Is there an easy way to tell flash to ignore the mouseOver events of the MovieClip in ActionScript so my button doesn't flash?
How can I make a mouse event ignore, or skip over another object? Say I have a small Sprite on a Large sprite, I want it to act as if the small sprite isn't there, and pass the mouse events directly through to the larger sprite behind it. I've been searching for this for a while and have tried various things but no avail.
I have a class linked to a library MovieClip. Several public instance variables in the class point to other DisplayObject's which are children of the class.Is Event.ACTIVATE the correct event to indicate that all ofthe children have been instantiated?
What I was looking for is a way to check if a tween has finished for BOTH clips. I thought I could try it like this:
Code: ; import mx.transitions.Tween; import mx.transitions.easing.*; var xScaleT:Tween = new Tween(kText, "_rotation", Elastic.easeOut, 0, 360, 3, true);
[code]....
But I noticed that first the ending of xScaleT is triggerd after 3 secs. and after that the ending of XPosT 9 secs. later. What I want is for this.yoyo() to occur if BOTH xScaleT and XPosT have finished. There isn't something like 'onMotionFinishedAll' ?
I have a tween on this mc and after its finished its supposed to play "goal", a label inside it (code is on the main timeline and the label inside the mc). But, well, i dont know why but it doesnt.. Heres the code:
I have a small problem, how it's possible to delete a tween effect after he has finished the tween?I use tween class, this is the code, and i want in frame 41 to delete the tween.
Code: btn_sector1.holder.loadMovie ("sector1.jpg"); btn_sector1.buttontext.theText.text = "S E C T O R 1";
With the script below I am making a ball move from left to right and back. but when I rollover twice quickly, it also accepts the second rollover command. I would like it to accept that second rollover only when the first one is finished. I mean, I want the first to be finished before it accepts another rollover. I know it is simple to solve this with a tween using frames instead of as, but I was wondering if someone knows how to adapt the script.
I have a button_mc and within this button is another MC with a masked graphic to create a shine effect. My problem is that when this shine effect passes over the button and hits the mouse cursor it causes the button to deactivate. Is there a way for me to have the shine_mc within the button_mc be ignored by the mouse completely?
