ActionScript 3.0 :: Drag And Drop With A Movie Clip Inside A Movieclip?
Sep 18, 2008
I have written the drag and drop function for a movie clip this movie clip has a animation inside of it, this is on a seperate layer. When i play the swf, the animation and the movie clip it was inside become individual objects. How do I make these two objects into one entity?
i want a button in a mvie clip which moves the main movie clip to certain frames. THIS I CAN DO.
However when i add drag and drop code to the main movie clip (of which this button is inside) the button no loger moves to the frames but the drag and dropworks.
i want to drag and drop a movie clip with a button inside this which changes the main movie clip. what do i need to add?
Im trying to do a drag and drop system where the user can drag a movie clip into an area. Although i would like to make it snap to a target instead of just sitting wherever it lands in the area. Problem Two:
The next thing i am trying to do is when the user has a movie clip on a target already, and trys to put another movie clip in that target area, it will replace the one thats in there and go back to its current position. Here is the script of what i have done so far:
how to attach a movie clip to another movie clip after drag and drop .I mean to say that is it possible to make a new movie clip with the target movie clip and dropped movie clip.
If I wanted to make a type of ecard, whereby the user can drag and drop a text field wherever they like, and then type into this, is this possible? I know about drag and drop on movie clips, but can it be performed on items like text fields?
I have a button which, when a user drags it onto a movieclip is supposed to cause that movie clip to advance to frame 2. What I've used so far is this:
Code:
on (press) { startDrag(this);[code]..........
The button drags fine, but when released over the movieclip nothing happens. I've tried using "_parent.slide1_mc.gotoAndStop(2);" instead to no avail.
so was just testing the Dragging and Dropping of objects in AS3....... for multiple movie clip using the same function.......however it's not working....and doesn't even show an error.........
I just read a thread on how to duplicate a movie clip and drag and drop it with AS2. However, I keep getting a syntax error on line 3. Attached is the file.
I've got a movie clip that I want to be able to drag and drop on stage, I've added this code to do this:
correct1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp1); correct1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt1); function pickUp1(event:MouseEvent):void {
[Code]....
But the button still does what its supposed to do...but I fear I shouldn't have these errors coming up anyway as (knowing me) I'll run into trouble later on because of it... I would of thought as long as the button is within the movie clip there wouldn't be a problem dragging it about and such...
I have a draggable movie clip that contains a button inside to hold my code. The target area is in the root and is a movie clip. I need to be able to drag and drop on the target. When it does drop on the target it needs to play a different keyframe from the root which holds a movie clip. Below is the code I have in my button within the draggable movie:
[Code]...
it starts dragging, but for some reason the drop target isn't working or the stopDrag, because it won't stop dragging.
i have been trying to get this to work forever. What im doing here is making a flash site thats like a real time strategy game. You have to build stuff in order to unlock new sections of the site. check out this: [URL] click on build, then drag the Main button and release somewhere above. Notice that when you release it sticks to the cursor and doesnt stop dragging. Now, hit cancel and notice that the main clip is still loaded and works correctly if you drag and drop it.
Here is what I am looking to do. Currently I have a drag and drop built in AS 3 that works perfectly fine, but I'm looking to add one more functionality. What I want to happen is when I drop the correct drag item on it's correct target piece (which is a movie clip) I want my target movie clip to go a head one frame.
So as an example I'm dragging a piece of paper onto a movie clip of of a waste basket. When I drop the piece of paper on it the waste basket, the waste basket movie clip moves a head one frame which shows a crumpled up piece of paper in it. Here is my current code for my drop eventlistener:
Sounds strange, but let me explain. What the user sees: Loading the page, color swatches fade in and slide over into place, row by row. Once in place, user can drag and drop swatches around, place side-by-side, etc. The script necessary to attach to a button so that all swatches can be reset back into place where they were, and not generate a replay of the initial movie clip from the beginning. (a goto and play is not what I'm looking for) Here's my code so far:
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 have 4 shapes which fit into 4 boxes and would like to modify my code so when a shape is placed in the correct box a movie clip appears e.g. if a triangle is placed into a triangle shape the movieclip for triangle appears. if the shape is placed into the wrong box a message appears saying try again.
I have a drag and drop game where each movie clip is a word that the player has to arrange on screen in a certain order of importance - there is no snapping mechanism and the user can place the words anywhere desired.
Later in the game, I need this list of words to appear in the order that the player previously organized within a different scene.
This is an example code of how I set up the drag and drop game:
//Array to hold all the puzzle movie clip instances. var burgerArr:Array = new Array (burger_mc, burger2_mc, burger3_mc, burger4_mc, burger5_mc, burger6_mc, burger7_mc);
I have to use the old drag and drop code on my movie clips, but the problem is when I drag the movieclip to the area on my .swf file once i release it, it sticks to the hand mover.I am encloseing the action script I am using could someone or kglad tell me what is missing from the code so that once it is released it will not stick, see code belowcircle.onPress = function(){ startDrag(this);}circle.onRelease = function(){ stopDrag();}
I can drag a movieclip with static text inside it, but when I change the text to dynamic, I get a Property Startdrag not found on Flash.text.textfield and there is no default value.
Im able to link to a movieclip inside a movieclipUnfortunately one of the movieclips now are a scrollbar and scroll. Now the actionscript isnt working?cal.onPress = function() {gotoAndPlay(2);message1.contentMain.message.total = unit1;
I have created a Box component and inside it I have more then 2-3 labels placed. I need to drag the whole box component and move to different place at canvas. Technically Box type is a container type but I need to keepit all the labels inside and want to move it. Is there any way we can do that? UPDATED : Can we create any external component that allow us to drag the main box?
I'm migrating from as2 to as3 and have a problem. I have a movieclip called papel_ilus which has loaded images inside with text and stuff. I found a Drag And Drop code that constrains the movement of the _x axis and have targeted the papel_ilus movieclip. However, when I click the images inside they are dragged separately from the whole movieclip I targeted and everything is a mess. Is there a way to drag the whole "pack" as one? Here is the code I'm using:
Code: import flash.geom.Rectangle; var leftY:int = 0;
I'm facing another problem, this time I wan't to move a object around inside a shape.The red/orange rectangle is the supposed to be dragged around inside the gray shape,the rectangle shouldn't ever be outside the shape.
Basically I have a movieclip that when I roll_over it reveals two buttons that I then need to use to remove movieclips that are on the same stage as the original movie clip. So the button inside the movieclip needs to remove a different movieclip that is also up on level.I've tried this many different ways, none seem to work. The error that I keep getting is undefined property of "grey_mc." And yes I made sure it has an instance name of grey_mc on the main stage. my code looks like:
Code: removeButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler); function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent) {
I have attached the file to this document, but basically I have a street scene which will eventually have about 5-6 people walking along the stage.
Currently on rollover of a button within the movie "movement_clip" my button will go to the overstate which shows a still of the animated women standing still. However...what I want to do on rollover, is I also want to pause "movement_clip" wherever it is in the process and then continue from where it got paused on rollout.
I have several website pages set up on different frames inside the content (which is a movieclip) of the home page - which is on frame 1 of the main timeline. The content movieclip name is contentMc.
My About page is at frame 10. There is a button on this page (called btnAbout_contactpg) that I want to make jump to my Contact page (frame 50) - all of which is nested under the main contentMc movieclip.
This is the pathway on my contentMc (where all of my pages are located), just in case that doesn't make sense: [URL]
I have looked at several different instructions online, but none of them seem to work.
EDIT:
I am also trying to get a button on my gallery page to load an external image, but it is not recognizing where the button is either:
btnGallery_1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, showPic1); function showPic1 (e:MouseEvent) { var target:Object=e.target; var parent=target.parent; my_loader.load(new URLRequest("image-0.jpg")); }
i have made all my buttons by movie clips and all the different pages movie clips, but i have movie clip buttons, inside those movie clip pages, and cannot figure out how to make these movie buttons inside the movie clip work when that specific page is loaded, the"links" inside that movie clip page, how do i make that link to go to the next page.
