ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing X And Y Coordinates Of A Tweened Object?
May 12, 2010
I have a string of about 5 movieclips that are tweened so that when you click left or right they slide in that direction. When you click on the movieclips themselves I want them to:
on mouse down - move to (y-5)
on mouse-up - move back (y+5)
this all works fine, however after I have clicked on one of the movieclips to make it jump, when I click left or right to slide them all over again they don't slide with the rest of the clips anymore?

How would I go about accessing the object I am moving with a tween through TweenEvent? or is this even possible? I think e.currentTarget will give me the tween object instead of the movieclip it is controlling, but I'm not sure.
Example:
ActionScript Code:
var tweens:Array = new Array();

Example:
Code:
var tweens:Array = new Array();
var aryObjects:Array = {mc1,mc2,mc3,mc4};
function someFunction():void {
for(var i:int = 0; i < aryObjects.length; i++) {
[Code] .....
Is it possible to access current mc the tween is moving through TweenEvent here? If not possible, how would I pass the current object in the loop to the function? I had one idea of creating a function within the addEventListener line and passing both the event and current object, but it is not working for some reason.
Code:
tweens[i].addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, function done(e:TweenEvent){tweenFinished(e,aryObjects[i]);});
I know that Tweener or TweenLite would work well but I want to do this without using them.

I'm trying to update a dynamic text field based on the scaleY value of a mask that I'm tweening using TweenLite. Example: as the mask scales from 1 to 0, the date in my text field would change from 1970 to 1980. But it doesn't want to broadcast that scaleY property during the tween.

Now I know I can use the MCTween classes for this, but I want to figure it out myself
I have
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.blurTo = function(strength, size) {
//Blur and tween fn.
var myBlur = new flash.filters.BlurFilter(size,size,strength);
[Code].....
What I can't figure out for the life of me, is how to disable the blur when the object being tweened comes to a halt?

I have a few MovieClips that are motion-tweened via the timeline. I have a function that places a glow filter on the tweened movieclip. The glow works, but... the movieclip no longer moves. I found that if I tween via actionscript (AS3) that it does tween. However, I have about 1000 movieclips, all w/ different tween properties.Is there a (much easier) walk around or am I going to have to code for a few days/weeks?

I am trying to change the cursor with coordinates.
I have attached the cursor to the mouse, which is a Red Circle
what I want to happen is when it gets beyond the half way point on the screen for it to turn blue.
I can do it as a rollover but I need to make it to it with if statements and coordinates.
Below is the code I have used to attache the cursor to the mouse
circle_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._x = _xmouse;
this._y =_ymouse;
Mouse.hide();
};

I have a simple Actionscript 3 project. The code is on the timeline:
ActionScript Code:
import pti.dmutility.layout.ConfigElement;
//this Class simply extends the fl.controls.Button with variables
Then I put some instances into the stage, and make them Drag&Drop. Here is the Dragging function. I want to remember the item's puck up position when clicked, I use ConfigElement's OldX and OldY properties:
ActionScript Code:
function dragStarterItem(e:MouseEvent):void{
var item = e.target;
item.OldX = item.x;
item.OldY = item.y;
item.startDrag();
item.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragStopperItem);
}
When I click on the item, the OldX and OldY gets the actual position of the item, BUT after dropping it somewhere else, and picking up it again, the OldX and OldY is still the same! Holds the initial position, and not changing to it's new location coordinates. Every instance remembers it's initial position only. Why not change every time I click? Why remembering the first click's position only?

I was thinking that it will be an easy task but something is not right. Here is what I am trying to do. I want to be able to run a function if the mouse is moved over certain areas of the movie clip on stage. Based on which area of the movie clip the mouse is moved I'd like to be able to trigger different behaviour. Below is the code which I was thinking shoud do it:
Code:
var posY:Number;
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {
[Code].....
For some reason, the trace statement is ran always when the mouse moves regardless if it is over the movie clip or not. It also only shows the first trace statement. It is never chaged even if the mouse is in the different areas of the movie clip.

I'm new to Adobe Flash CS4. I'm making an animation of some fish underwater. I have 2 small fish motion tweened to follow a large fish from left to right. When I view the animation in full screen the small fish seem to be wiped off the screen at a certain point. The tween box continues to follow it's path but the symbol disappears. This only seems to happen with larger objects.

We have a client server architecture where a C++ server talks to Flash clients. I'm developing the server and would like to send through tcp an xy coord to simulate a button press where the receiving flash client would find the topmost visible object at that coord and send a mouse event to it such that we could simulate play without a human present. I'm told this is incredibly difficult, but it seems to me that there must be a way to do this. Am I off the mark? Or is there a mechanism in flash to iterate through all objects regardless of parent child relationships to find a visible button at an x, y coord and signal a press event?

if AS supports anything similar to hashes in perl (okay, it's been a long time since I've done any coding).If I want to get the x and y coordinates of an object I do it like this:
ActionScript Code:
thumbnails[0].getXY()[0]; // Get X
thumbnails[0].getXY()[1]; // Get Y
and I'd rather it look more like this:
ActionScript Code:
thumbnails[0].getXY(){"x"}; // Get X
thumbnails[0].getXY(){"y"}; // Get Y

I have an object that moves when the arrows are pressed but how do i display the coordinates of the object, x and y? I tried
this.x=this.x
this.y=this.y
and then two dynamic boxes called x and y but it doesn't work!

What is a good function to simply move an object to X and Y coordinates?I can find is actionscript that does movement plus other animations, like rotate and scale.I just want to let the user drag an object, but when they release it, that object moves back to certain X and Y coordiantes.

Basically there's an object in a movieclip. I want to find the location of that object in relation to the movieclip, not of the object's symbol. So when i and look at the x and y of it, it wont show 0, it will show the x and y location in the movieclip it's in.

There is a plane in my movie and it's moving (from starting point (x,y) to end point (x',y') coordinates in timeline). it's a very simple issue.And there is a popup that will be visible when user click on the plane mc.
I wrote the following code :

i'm trying to trace the x and y coordinates from within a sprite. i've added a rectangle to the stage:
var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(10, 10, 200, 200);
addChild(rect);
rect.x = rect.y = 100;
adding a Mouse_Move event to the rect, i can trace mouseX and mouseY to receive the coordinates of the stage while moving over the rect, but how do i get the local x and y coordinates? so if i mouse over the very top left of the rect sprite, the mouseX and mouseY return 10 as the global coordinates, but how do i make it return 0 and the local coordinates of the sprite?
i assumed localX and localY was what i was looking for, but this doesn't work:
function mouseOverTraceCoords(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
trace(mouseX, mouseY, evt.localX, evt.localY);
}

When tracing the mouseX / mouseY or localX / localY coordinates of a display object, why does x start at 1 while y starts at 0? For example, I've drawn a simple 400 x 400 pixel sprite onto the stage with a MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE event listener that calls a handler function to trace the local coordinates of the mouse. The first, top-left pixel returns {x:1, y:0} and the last, bottom-right pixel returns {x:400, y:399}. Shouldn't both the x and y start and end with the same value? I'm not sure which makes more sense for a the first mouse coordinate (either 0 or 1) but it certainly doesn't make sense that they are different?

What I want to do is link the blur filter with the coordinates of an object I have in a movie.Like as the x coordinate of an object gets larger the blur amount increases as well, and decreases as the x coordinate gets lower.

i've been working on a problem for a while now, which involves targeting the closest movieClip in relation to the x y coords of the mouse, I've attached a nice little acompanying graphic.Each mc added to the stage has it's own sub-class (HotSpots) which uses Pythag to measure distance from mouse. At this stage i can determine the closest value from my Main class but can't figure out how to reference it back to the movieclip... hope this makes sense. Below are the two Classes.My Main Class which attachs the mcs, and monitors mouse movement and traces closest value.[code]
