Is there a way to return the target of a Tween object from within the object?
Code:
myTween.onMotionFinished = function (){
trace (this.target)
}
That's obviously not the way you do it, but that's what I want it to be...
I want to be able to create the following if possible:
Create five words that make up a sentence and they are mixed up in order. So basically I would turn each word into a Movie clip perhaps.
I would then like to assign a target hotspot for each word so that a user can drag the words into the correct order.
Once they are in the correct order they click a button to go to a correct response or incorrect response. Is this possible?
In my attached file first user drag dot symbol into the block targets and then user drag the arrow in the same targets.now i want to set both are in single target.( see the screen shot of target.png file )
View 0 Repliesi'm pretty new user with TweenMax and i have simple question. Usually using flash built-in TweenEvent i could get the object that is tweening, using e.target.obj. But then apparently i couldn't do it if i use Greensock TweenEvent, because it seems unable to retrieve the object as the property "obj" could not be found.
What should i write that is equivalent to "e.target.obj"?
How do u undrag a object from the target in AS3?

When Mouse is down on PlanetEarth_mc, only PlanetEarthOuter_mc starts moving, leaving PlanetEarthInner_mc and PlanetInner_txt in the same existing place. I want to call the parent of the target i.e. I want to move PlanetEarth_mc. also, EventReceived.target.parent.startDrag();//Gives Error. How can I achieve that from received MouseEvent Object I hope u understand this.
I have a custom class which uses some buttons on the stage. Or at least is trying to.say have this code in the customClass.as file

I have been working with a very simple tutorial over at [URL], where you drag objects onto a target movieClip. My question is this, how do you target a movieClip inside a movie clip? What I have are 4 color squares that I want to drag and drop onto a pattern_mc. I put the target mc's with in the pattern_mc. In the tutorial the target mc's are not in a movie clip. I put my target mc's in a movieClip because I want to use the pattern_mc as a material.
View 7 RepliesI'm not sure if it's possible, but can you override a variable of a parent class like you can override a function? I'm trying to create my own event class that can handle the target property. I have a custom imageLoader class, but when it dispatches it's loading complete event:
ActionScript Code: dispatch(new Event("load_complete")); and a listener picks it up, e.target = null where I would like e.target to equal the imageLoader instance that has finished loading.
Does anyone have an answer or a better way to accomplish what I am aiming for?
From a component I am working with.....If the target object has a property called source, which is used to set the path and file name of the media file to be loaded, then the list component will automatically set that source property."I am a little confused by what this really means.

I'm trying to dispatch a custom event from a custom class (which implements IEventDispatcher) to another custom class (also implements IEventDispatcher) but I cannot trigger the corresponding event handlers.The classes are instantiated at different parts of the application: one on the main canvas and the other on the back-end (data side) of the app. Neither of these is part of the display list hierarchy and I need them to communicate through events.I've looked through adobe docs, the web and Mook's Essential AS3, but have come up with nothing...

I have a preloader using a mask, set to slowly reveal the target object from the bottom up as the movie loads. But there is something off with the code and I'm not a programmer.
View 8 Repliesi have made a list control. i want to display the name of the objects in it in a text control box
the code i am using here is

The problem with this code is i am using index value of 0. however i want to display the name of object on which i have clicked or which is highlighted.
This animation is for a kindergarten course. I have 6 different colored teddy bears on the
floor and the bears are to be placed on the middle shelf in the room, in no particular order. I have the code in place to drag the bears, and they return to their original location if dropped in the wrong area. Everything works, except I can't make the bears stick to the target area. The target area has to be the same for all 6 bears.
I have numerous objects, many of them are stored within other objects (and overlap in physical space). As I zoom into an object, it begins to fade away. At the moment it begins to fade, I load in the child object (or create a child object if one doesn't exist). I want to turn off the parent object's ability to respond to most events. The exception is the scroll wheel, which needs to be sent to both objects simultaneously so that the parent can continue to fade out as I zoom farther in. Try as I might, I can't find a way to tell Flex "hey, for right now dispatch these types of events ONLY to this object." I either end up with event dispatch stack overflows from trying to manually redirect the events, or I get events that don't activate at the correct time or on the correct object. What can I do?

I've got tree movieclips called: greenpip(this is the dragable object, which is visable), greenpip_target(which is invisible, but becames visible when greenpip hits it, and grrenpip is becaming invisible) and then the third one: greenpip_flask (which is the animation I want to play when the greenpip hits the greenpip_target).
Everything works but I don't know how to make the greenpip_flask play, when grrenpip hits the greenpip_target. This scenario takes place three times with three sets of objects
Alright, I've looked online at a bunch of different collision tutorials but they don't explain what I'm looking for. I want object A to hit object B and then execute a function via to a Event listener.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a boundary for a player object, controlled with arrow keys, in my game using the main stage's height and width. For example, one test point is at the top edge of the player object's bounding box so that when the player object's head touches the stage's top edge, the player can't move anymore to the north. The player object is manually instantiated to the center of the stage by using the Flash stage editor so it will start at the center before the program starts.The problem is that right at the start of the program, I can no longer move the player object up or down with the arrow keys but I can still move it left or right. The intention is to allow the player to move north until the player object's head touches the top edge of the main stage.[code]

View 3 RepliesIv been having some real trouble lately attempting to create an object panorama, emphasis on the object version, iv found plenty of tutorials on how to do regular panoramas (ie, from one spot looking outwards, i want to make one of something looking inwards orbiting it) iv used flash quite loosely before in the past and have come to the conclusion from various articles on the internet it is capable and probably the best way to make a small file size.
basically what i wanted was to have it so that when u click and drag side to side it would show around the object, im not too worried about how fast around it goes or if it accelerates the further away from the centre its dragged, just the main control im looking for. at the moment i have 180 odd pictures of my model im looking to orbit, or less or more depending on what people think is better (its a 3d render i made so i can choose how many pictures it has) or iv already got it stitched together into a video.
the ideas id already had were that it would load each picture into an empty movie clip based on the frame number, ie it would load model001.jpg on frame 1, model020.jpg on frame 20 etc etc, but that didnt work as i suspected and it seems to flicker which i probably should expect as it has to load each picture each time. my other idea was that if its possible to make a movie scrubber, and load the video of the orbiting object in, then just use a scrubber to control moving it around but i couldnt find anything (that wasnt to buy) on how to do that.
I am creating an actionscript video player in Haxe and to avoid the asyncError I am trying to create a custom Object. How do I do this is Haxe? The client property specifies the object on which callback methods are invoked. The default object is the NetStream object being created. If you set the client property to another object, callback methods will be invoked on that other object. Here is my code.
public function new()
{
super();

View 2 RepliesI've been starting to create my own classes for a project and I've encountered an error that I don't know how to solve. This is for a Game class collection.
How do I create an object with ActionScript if I only know the name of it? I have a class that should add an object as a "grid" and place it accordingly, so if I have a Square box that I want to place by 4x4 on the screen it calculates it automatically. Well, that's the goal anyway.
I have a function in my Grid class, Add_Background that accepts an Object to be added as the grid background. I use a movieclip (don't know if I can use a graphic element).
I call the function myGrid.add_background("name_of_my_movieclip") or myGrid.add_background(new name_of_my_movieclip());
The first one I don't know how to use, I don't know how the syntax for creating an object this way (etc: grid[a][b] = new name_of_my_movieclip() doesn't work...) so there has to be some other kind of way on how to pass this to the function and that it knows what to do with it.
The other thing I've tried is passing the object to the function (new Grid_Background() etc) but I can't clone the object anyway I try it and the ActionScript reference site says there's an mx.utils.ObjectUtil that I can use for this, but I have no access to it that I know of (tried it).
