I made a custom cursor in flash using AS3.0, but I only want it to appear in a certain spot on the flash banner I made. Basically, it will be hovering over an image, but throughout the rest of the area I want the standard cursor
View 2 RepliesI have placed an image within a movieclip that I would like to zoom in on when the mouse passes over it. The zoom on the cursor is working, but the mouse remains a magnifying glass even after it rolls off of the zoomable image. I have tried putting the image and zoom code inside an swf and loading in it into a container via loadmovie, but the same problem with the cursor occurs.

In as3, how do you change the cursor to the systems default busy/wait cursor (e.g. the spinning wheel on a mac)?

View 2 RepliesI want to create a MovieClip symbol of a certain width and height, but with content that extends outside its boundaries, with the option to have the external content be clipped/hidden or visible.
In Flex, the solution would be to create a group with .clipAndEnableScrolling = true.
Is there a way to do this in Flash CS5, or will the symbol always resolve to the size of its contents?
I'm making an image revealer in flash, but I can't wrap my head around how to constrain the slider bar to the area_mc. Mainly in the mouseMoveHandler. Can someone please give me some pointers?[code]...
View 1 RepliesSo this one is a tricky one (for me) vital to the development of my project due to the fact that we can't directly modify the position of mouseX and mouseY - they are read-only variables. Basically, what I want to do is have a player able to move their mouse only within a certain triangular area when a specific instance is active. The latter bit I can manage just fine, however I am having trouble restricting mouse movement -- or apparent mouse movement.
Here's what I have done so far:
1. Assign a library moveclip to the mouseX and mouseY position in the Event.ENTER_FRAME event - although I acknowledge that this should be moved to Mouse.MOUSE_MOVE. (this does not matter yet)
2. Using Corey O'Neils Collision detection kit, do a hit test on the border instances of the area with the crosshair/cursor.
3. Offset the cursor appropriately, and then set a standard Boolean value to false so that the cursor will not keep bouncing back into the cursor over and over.
My problem is, I am not sure what the best way is to go about allowing mouse movement again. For what it's worth, this is to stop users from aiming in an unrealistic direction with a character in a top-down (ish) shooter.
Here is my code regarding mouse movement thus far:
import flash.ui.Mouse;
import flash.events.event
import com.coreyoneil.collision.CollisionList;
Mouse.hide();
var c:crosshair = new crosshair();
addchild(c);
var myCollisionList:CollisionList;
myCollisionList = new CollisionList(c);

We are developing our app in flash/flex builder for the front end hitting .NET backend webservices. There is one section of the old app that will not be initially converted, so we need have it appear in an iFrame.
So far all that works fine.We shrink the size of the SWF in the host page to just be the menu/nav area. And underneat that I have an iframe control that loads in this page from the old site.Now the problem. in the SWF is a drop down list to enable picking a client. Since the SWF has been shrunk to about 100px high, the drop-down will only occupy within that 100px area which it's opened. This is NOT good as you can imagine. How can I make the drop-down list descend over-top of the IFRAME control and thus extend outside the SWF dimensions? Is this possible?
I tried to make the internal stage transparent and leave the SWF a little larger, about 400 px high, but the IFRAME still appears behind the SWF.
Code:
function AddYCoins():void
{
for (var i:int = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
var Ycoin:YCoin = new YCoin();
[Code]...
This function creates 10 instances of my YCoin and places it around the stage. But i wish the coins to only fall in specific areas, (i.e. i have 8 green rectangles, names area1,area2 etc) because the idea is you have to collect the coins but only staying on the green rectangles.
i knows its the stage.stageWidth i need to change but i cant think what to change it too!
I am dispatching an event from one document class and listening for it via another document class.My code in class A.
Code:
this.dispatchEvent(new MYEvent(MyEvent.APERTURE_DONE));
trace("Dispatching APERTURE_DONE");
my code in class B.
Code:
addEventListener(MyEvent.APERTURE_DONE, onDoorsOpen,true);
trace("Lisetning for APERTURE_DONE");
[code]....
My listener is registering before the event is dispatched, based on my output window, however I never get the "Open Doors" trace statement to fire.
I am making use of a custom cursor on itemRenderers in a List component. The custom cursor works just fine except when I mouse over the Text component which is a child of the itemRenderer at which point I get two cursors, the custom and an iBar one on top of the other.Here's the code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
<mx:Script>
[code].....
so the custom cursor I'm using works on the main timeline of my project. However, there are buttons in the application that load in movie clip pop-up windows and when this happens the cursor stays on the main timeline behind the movie clip resluting in the cursor not being seen. This is the code I'm currently using:

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to make a custom cursor with restraints (meaning you only see the cursor when you put your mouse in a certain spot, by defining both the max and min of the x & y), that is placed inside a movie clip; then make the movie clip move on the stage when you click certain buttons.

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 1 RepliesWhat i am trying to do is move a MC around by dragging it, but i dont want the MC to move so far that it could be lost on the stage. i need some sort of parameters so that the MC is always showing. basically i have a large map of the united states and i want to be able to move it around and look at the individual states. the map is much larger than the stage and i am using a mask to clean up the appearance. i just want to make sure that the user cant move the map so far in one direction that it gets lost.
