Version: CS3, Flash AS3.
I want to detect whether the mouse has been clicked outside of a sprite (ie. a mouse click event anywhere on the screen except the sprite).
The idea is that you click outside an activated sprite to deactivate it. This is how menus and comboboxes function, but I can't see any way of doing it in actionscript.
I have parent movieclip and in that many different children movieclips
What i want to do is when i CLICK, i want to detect which movieclip it has clicked and call corresponding function (defined by onpress event) of that movieclip.
have one mc called mc1, and when the mouse cursor is over it, mc2 is sent to a certain frame and the _alpha set to 0. The problem I have is that when the user continued with the onPress (pressing the left mouse button) after the cursor goes outside of that mc1, mc2 does not become invisible and what I need is to do that, when the user goes out with the cursor of the mc1, the mc2 becomes invisible even if the left button of the mouse is pressed. And now don't detect the onRollOut if the button of the mouse is pressed.
View 1 RepliesI have 4 navigation button and like home, about us etc.... And i want to disable home when it is click and cannot clicked it until the user click another button first. means if a visitor is at home page then home navigation is disabled, and all other are active, and when they click at aboutus button then the pages goes to the about us page and the about us button is disabled and other get active. I want this solution in AS3 with oop concept.
View 6 RepliesLets say I want a mouse click event listener to trace (console print) the x coordinate of a sprite clicked. this is what Ive got, which is wrong.
public function field()

//nodes is an array containing node sprite objects

I believe this.x is referring to the classes property x, however i would like to refer to the single_node object. currently console is outputting 0, regardless of what sprite i click.

I am trying to create a simple drag and drop Flash program where a user can drag xmas ornaments onto a tree. Instead of being able to drag the ornament once, I want a function so that every time an ornament is clicked on, it adds a new ornament of the same class to the stage where the ornament is clicked. Currently I have this working but there is one problem. It is not dynamic. Looking in the "drag" function, I have chosen the class "Symbol31" as the default ornament that gets added. Instead, I want the ActionScript to read the class of the ornament that was clicked on and to add that class, not "Symbol31" everytime.
Code:
public class DragDrop extends MovieClip
{
private var originalX:Number;

I'm loading some text from a xml into flash. Now for each piece of text needs to be a Click event. So if i click on xmlData.location1 i need to go to the info about location1. If I click on xmlData.location2 i need to go to the info about location two. See code blow.

Is there a way to detect the type of a DisplayObject with a switch case statement?I noticed that you can check if the displayobject compared to the type returns true or false.
Trace(mydisplayObj is Sprite); //return true or false
Trace(mydisplayObj is MovieClip); //return true or false
But isn't there an option to get the type of the displayObject directly?
like,
switch (typeof(mydisplayObj)) {
case Sprite:
break;

I have a spark datagrid with selectionMode="multipleRows".
I have three columns in the datagrid. I don't want the row selection to happen when the user's click falls on the third column of a row.
The row selection should happen only when one of the first two columns is clicked. How do I achieve this? There is a selectionChanging event for the datagrid, but the GridSelectionEvent object received in the handler does not seem to provide any information about the column on which the click happened.
So I'm working on my portfolio and I got this problem. The code posted scrolls the sprite "cellContainer" based on the position of stage.mouseY. Perfect.Problem is that I want stage.mouseY to equal the entire cellContainer height. Kind of like how a small tablet equals a huge monitor. So when stage.mouseY = 0,cellContainer.y = 0 and when stage.mouseY = stage.stageHeight, cellContainer.y = stage.stageHeight - cellContainer.height. Right now, it scrolls, but it takes a while to scroll throught the entire height of cellContainer. I want it to be proportional to stage.mouseY.
Actionscript Code:
private function scrollStart(e:Event)[code]....

View 1 RepliesI'm working on [URL] and I am using a small swf over the milk carton on the left. I use it to make it look like text being entered is on the milk carton. So its just a textfield and a button.
When the user clicks in the text box it clears and allows typing. This is good. This is the part I'm stuck on: If the user changes their mind about typing and clicks somewhere else on the screen (outside of the swf) I want the example text to return and the text cursor to stop flashing.
In a pure ActionScript 3 project, I have a sprite that overlaps another sprite. The lower sprite normally handles mouse clicks. The lower sprite no longer processes mouse events when it is overlapped by the higher sprite. I would like the lower sprite to handle mouse events when it is overlapped. (In my particular instance, the higher sprite is just a decorative piece; it has no normal mouse interactivity anyway.) Is this possible? Is there a way to route mouse events through the higher sprite?
View 3 RepliesI need to move a sprite only vertically on mouse move. How do I implement it with as3?
View 3 RepliesI'm confused that values of mouseX&Y properties for a same sprite are changing as its scaling (when you make scaleX out of 1.0). I would like to know the precise mechanism (or detailed definition) of MouseX, MouseY property.
View 6 RepliesI am new at AS3 and for a simple task it seems I have a lot of code but here is my problem.The code below displays wind direction and the speed of it, but I want to convert that code into a re-usable function where each time displaySprite (after adding and event listener ie: displaySprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_CL ICK, clearAndRedraw); ) gets clicked it will redraw the same sprite with new information.

View 3 RepliesI'd like to do tooltip-type popups with some text. Is there an easy way to get the word under the mouse? Right now I'm reading the entire text field into an array where the index of the element is the number of the character, like so:var theString:String = 'This is some text.";and the array looks like this:[code]So the getCharIndexAtPoint function with the mouseX and mouseY is used as an index to the array, which returns the correct word. It works, but it seems like a crude way to go about it. Is there any way to get the html text of the link if the mouse is hovering over a word?

View 4 RepliesMy document class is Controller It's constructor addChilds an instance of MenuScreen
MenuScreen has 1 button called 'gallery'. Clicking on it removes the MenuScreen from the document class and adds galleryScreen to the Document class.
After the galleryScreen becomes a child of the document class I add a keyevent listener like so:
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);
Here's a snippet of keyDownHandler:
ActionScript Code:
public function keyDownHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void{
[Code]....
The Problem is: 1) I'm pressing LEFT arrow key like mad and nothing happens UNTIL I left click anywhere on the screen, THEN keyDownHandler works.
The player rotates to the mouse when you click somewhere and moves there. The problem is sometimes when you click on a corner the player rotates towards where you clicked but sometimes starts moving sideways.

I have created a sprite as below:
var arrowHeadRight:Sprite = new Sprite();
with(arrowHeadRight.graphics){
beginFill(0xDDDDDD, 1);
moveTo(50,0);
lineTo(0,50);
[Code]...
On Mouse Over, I wish to change the color of the fill on this shape? Can this be done or do I have to re-draw the graphics with an updated beginFill line?
The idea is there are two buttons(Sprites), one on the left & one on the right, when either button is moused over a the script should start setting the alpha of the relevant visible element. (i'm not worried that they both would be fading out as the mouse moves left to right at this point)

private function turnOnInterfaceHinting():void {
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, InterfaceHinting);

I have stuck a bitmap into a display object container (Sprite). On a given mouse event (i.e. mouse click), I would like to display the x and y coordinates of the bitmap. However, I've realized upon clicking on the bitmap, the event is only recognizing the higher level Sprite container. I suspect this could be attributed to the simple fact that bitmaps are not InteractiveObjects.If it's I have attached the code. I am loading a master image and cloning it to produce a thumbnail image (bitmap). Mouse events with the container holding the master image recognize the image itself while the container holding the thumbnail only recognizes the Sprite container.
Code:
var ldr1:Loader=new Loader();
var url1:URLRequest=new URLRequest("PhotoGallery0/picture0.jpg");
