ActionScript 3.0 :: Clip On The Right Has No Clickable Area At All
Mar 19, 2010
I have two identical instances of the same movieclip (except for text within a text field in the clips). I add a mouse event listener to both clips. The clip on the left has a clickable area, but it is much smaller than the visible area of the clip on the screen. The clip on the right has no clickable area at all. I would post code to assist in diagnosis, but I don't know where to begin with the code since everything looks kosher. My first intuition was that the clickable area of the left clip is one of the images in that clip that is under the top image (lower on the display list, and higher z value). However, that would not explain the lack of a clickable area in the right clip.

I have a movie clip I am using as a button. It is an irregularly-shaped bitmap from a PS layer.
I don't want the whole bounding box to be "hot", just where there are actual pixels in the bitmap, and have clicks on transparent areas be ignores or pass through to underlying objects that may be clickable.
So far, my Document Class is:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;

I have a movieClip with instance name "rulesScrollbar", that has a width of 9.1px, and a height of 729.6px.Along with it, I have the
code:
Code: Select allrulesScrollbar.buttonMode = true;
rulesScrollbar.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, scrollbarClicked);
function scrollbarClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {[code]......
But when running the movie, only the first 600 vertical pixels (approximately) are clickable! Does flash have a limitation of which I am not aware that would cause this? There isn't any masking going on, so I'm not sure why only part of the movieClip would be clickable.

I am trying to make a brain anatomy game in flash CS3 and I am having some difficulty getting the buttons to respect certain proportions. Allow me to elaborate.

And then I bring it into photoshop and make a different layer for each different structure (in the screenshot I only did it for one structure but you get the point)
[URL]
Now what I would like to do is import my .psd file into flash and make every layer a different button. But I don't know of a way to view layers of a .psd file in flash. But here's the bigger problem. As you can see, it makes the "clickable" area for the button a rectangle shape.
[URL]
Whereas I would like for it to be the shape of the specific structure. If the clickable area is a rectangle then there is an overlap onto other structures which is not at all ideal. Especially when I get into smaller structures. What I want is for the button to be exactly like the layer in photoshop.

I know this is basic, but I lack the terms to use to search for the solution. I can do some advanced stuff in Flash, but when it comes to basics like this, I'm at a loss.
I'm trying to have two movieclips call the same function but pass to it a different argument to then process accordingly. What I've learned is that even though the MCs are small rectangles on the stage, their clickable area seems to span the entire stage. In this code example, when I click on one MC, the trace gives me both 1 and 2, as if both MCs had been clicked. What am I missing? Attached is the stripped-down FLA.

I am making a website and am new to Flash and AS3. My site consists of 5 movieclip buttons. The buttons are programmed to move left or right depending on which button is open currently. I recently added a function that removes the eventListeners of these buttons so that you cannot click them while the tweens are happening (I was having major tween issues: stopped tweens etc) and then adds the listeners back when the tweens are done. However, after clicking through the site for a little while the active, clickable area of the button changes! I have no clue why this would be happening.

This was not an issue before I created the function that removes the listeners so I assume that is the problem, but have no clue as to why. I am attaching the code for the tween functions for moveLeft and moveRight, the remove listeners function, and one button function.

Is there a way to set a clip area for a movie clip or sprite so that it will not draw out of that particular area? I am using a drop shadow, and it doesn't look right if the shadow passes a certain boundary, so I wanted to find a way to force it not to draw out of a particular area.

I'm making a room escape game and I've run into a problem. When an item gets added to the inventory, I'd like the user to be able to click on the item to affect another object (e.g. clicking screwdriver hides screws and displays other image) however when I add the code to the item, if the item is clicked and it's nowhere near the object it affects, the image pops up and it looks really stupid.
So what I'd like to be able to do, possibly using if and else statements or whatever's easiest, is to only have the inventory item be clickable if the movie clip of the object is affects is visible on the stage.

So I have a movie clip called signInBtn and one called signOutBtn initially,
signOutBtn.visible = false;
but when a user signs in
signInBtn.visible = false;
signOutBtn.visible = true;
But after I do that, I can't click the signOut movieclip. I thought it might be because the signOutBtn was under the invisible signInBtn but that is not the case.

I made a help screen that pops up when the user clicks the "help" button. To accomplish this, I place the movieclip on the top layer, and set it's _visible to false. When the user clicks "help", visible = true, and BAM, help screen appears. The problem is that all of the buttons underneath my helpPage movieclip are still clickable.

I have a movie clip (scrollBar) in my site that contains a line of other movie clips moving across the stage (scrollContent1-4). Only two of these are visible at a time, so I have lined them all up, repeated the first two at the end, and have the animation looping.
I want each of the scrollContent1-4 clips to be clickable. It's all fine on the first loop, but once the clip reaches the end and returns to frame 1 the clips are no longer clickable.

I am trying to create an application for students to visualize their course schedules.I have rectangles representing each class, which students can drag and drop to build their schedule.I would like the students to be able to type in the course number and name before adding it to the schedule.I have the drag-and-drop working, and editable text working. owever, when I try to edit the text, it drags the box as well.Therefore, I would like to be able to limit the "drag" functionality to one corner of the rectangle.So the user would have to click that part in order to drag the movie clip. Please see the attached image to get a better idea of what I'm talking about.

I'm getting no errors on this, Go (comeback) is my movie clip which should turn up when the mouse leaves the stage area and leave when the mouse enters the stage. I know it's probably my removeChild command but I don't know how to fix it.

By the way i want to make a visualization about a math process to show partial function graph.
I think i can make a scene which in 1000x1000 pixels. I'll start from top of scene and when i press a button i'll move camera to second section which i want to do sketch. I want to make a sketchpad which can draw in a 2 part movieclip. First part is -X section of XY Axis Graph. Second part is +X section of XY Axis Graph. I'll put image of XY Axis Graph to -X and +X section of XY Axis Graph. So it'll be seem like one part. And i'll draw to -X section. After that i'll skip to second sketchpad with camera. And i'll make same thing. But for now i'll draw to +X. And when i press conclusion button camera will skip to bottom of scene and move -X of figure1 and +X of figure2 to bottom. So i can see figure1's -X section and figure2's +X section as merged in bottom. So it'll show to me partial function graph.
But problem is sketchpad is drawing to _root. So i'm unable to move sketch or shapes on XY Axis Graph. But if i can draw that to movie clip i can move it like an object with drawing and merge it like i want.
So i want to make a sketchpad which make drawing in limits of movieclip.
how i can do it ? Also i'm using following code:
Code:
import mx.controls.Loader;
// 1. SETTING THINGS
// ----------------
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line",1);

i have a drop down menu am working on and each button tab (although they are not button instances !) when clicked opens up the "drop down" section which you can mouse over to choose another specific button etc - if you mouse out of that drop down area then it pulls back up to the original tab state .. what do i change to the code below to decrease the area that you mouse out of to make the drop down area pull back .....at the moment it at least two inches on the screen below and to the right of boundaries of the drop down box before it pulls up - i want to it pull up as the mouse leaves the boundary box .... hope this makes sense .... there is some part of the actionscipt below that controls this but can work out which bit and how to change it !!! (am guessing the x mouse and y mouse bits - but how to change it ???)

It can get bitmap from the target object, but it seem don't get all the area of the image.
By give the width and height of target object, but the target object in design was applied by Glow Effect, so my question can we get the all view of bitmapdata from a displayobject?

I have a movie clip named circle_mc(see the image on the link below) and a mask object(movie clip) which determines visible area of the circle. User can change the portion which is visible (extend the red area and make it red+blue, gray area is invisible). I need to find proportion of visible area to invisible area (red+blue/gray) so that I can calculate angle.

I would like to first add the xml to my flash. Fine I can do this.But I have a number of buttons, where when I click say CW1, i get the information from the XML file with a node of CW1. I have all the xml set up fine.As I have about eight different postcode types.
ST, CW, CH, TF, WV, WS, DE, SK, SY, and each of these may have numbers that follow, i.e ST1, ST2, ST3 and so forth.
So I can only assume that the postal area could be the main nodes, and the numbers inside the child nodes, am I right thus far.o how can i load the area of the xml file into my text area on mouse click, pulling the information relating.
