ActionScript 3.0 :: Get A Box_mc To Fade Out If The Mouse Is In A Set Area Of The Screen?
Oct 6, 2009
I am trying to get a box_mc to fade out if the mouse is in a set area of the screen, but if the mouse is in a different segment to reappear. I have set up a timer to detect mouse position and got the functions working but I dont know how to pause the timer in order for the fade to take effect.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var timer1:Timer = new Timer(10)
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 ???)
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.
I'm programming a game for my Advanced Higher Computing class, and am doing a whack a mole style game. I am trying to program for the bit where when you click the moving movie clip, then the score is increased by 1.
I have a page with alot of logos (buttons) and I would want so when the mouse is over a logo all the others fade like 50% and when you move your mouse away they go back to 100%, This should be for every button on the stage.
I would like to make a flash movie with a picture, where when the user holds down the mouse button, part of another picture will emerge in that general area (like a magnifying glass looking into another dimension).
Technically, my idea was to make a flash file with two images, and then code the mouse to be able to make the top picture transparent in a circle-like area around the cursor, while the mouse button is down.
But how to do that? I am using Flash CS4, but I don't really care if the solution is in AS2, or AS3, as long as it works
In my Flex application, the modules can be larger than the resolution of the screen and have a vertical scrollbar.When the user clicks somewhere, I popup a small component at the position of the mouse co-ordinates.However, if the user clicks too close to the edges of the screen, I need to prevent the component from appearing outside the viewable area.For this purpose, I need to know the dimensions of the viewable area. I've tried Capabilities.screenResolutionX and Capabilities.screenResolutionY, but they this area will include the browser toolbars.
I keep trying to change the code so that I can control the area for drawing. The attached code is where I left of after many tries. The movie clip box_mc is being called from the library.
I cannot get the lines to draw onto the top of the MovieClip box_mc.At this pojnt, my solution is to change the alpha of box_mc to 0. Now I can see my drawings which are under the box_mc but keep within the boundries of the MovieClip.Maybe my thinking is too concrete, but I was trying to get the drawing lines to stay on top of the MovieClip box_mc like it was a small drawing board.I have tried place a reference to the stage in various places and use addChildAt() in order to see f I can change the MovieClip's place in the hierarchy but so far nothing has worked.
I am playing a video and created a button which displays video area in fullscreen but video doesn't cover whole screen area, there are blanks left and right of the video. I searched a bit and every flash player i found with full screen option in fact resizes the video the same way, it just doesn't cover whole area. Why is that? Can video in full screen mode be resized to cover whole screen area without those blanks at sides?
I have created a small flash movie where the eyes of the character follow the cursor. Its based on this one here Only problem is, it only works while the mouse is actually over the movie. Is there any way to increase the sensitive area to the whole screen without increasing the actual size of the movie?
Is it possible to take a screen shot (using the Print Screen) and paste it from the System Clipboard directly into a web pages text area field (which I would create)? Do I need a browser plug-in? Can Flash do this?
I'm trying to achieve a simplified version of the move to screen area and zoom nav similar to: [URL]. I've read and completed the macromedia tweening tutorials [URL] and gained overview of tween class etc., So, I created an example (credit :sophistikat) using the macromedia tween class:
Code: import mx.transitions.Tween; import mx.transitions.easing.*; myBtn.onRelease = function () { //first move to center in one second witih no delay main_mc.tween("_x", 50, 1, "easeinoutElastic"); main_mc.tween("_y", 50, 1, "easeinoutElastic"); // and in 2 seconds scale closer main_mc.tween("_xscale", 150, 1, "easeinoutElastic", 2, true); main_mc.tween("_yscale", 150, 1, "easeinoutElastic", 2, true); }
The script in layer 1, the bt in layer 2 and the main_mc in layer 3 - all correctly 'instanced'. But not working - the main_mc isn't moving and then zooming in when btn is clicked.
I want to have 3 diffrent words on the screen and when you mouse over those 3 words, on each word and diffrent text box appears..... How hard is this? I am using SwiSH Max 4
Decided to join the forum after not finding anything on the internet. Im fairly new to AS2 so go easy on me Basically i want to re-create a lightbox effect where the rest of the browser window other than the image is faded to say a grey color once the image thumbnail has been clicked.
I found several tutorials that work great for having movie objects follow the mouse but I haven't been able to find one that restricts it to only a certain area. This is one of the tutorials that I was looking at: http:[url].......What I basically want to do is have this hanging lamp tilt either left or right depending or where the mouse comes from.
I made a scroller script, but now I am trying to figure out how to define the area in which the scroller responds to the mouse? Currently it responds to the mouse position no matter where the mouse is on the page, but I want it to just respond when the mouse rolls over a small portion of the page.
I wanted to make play button. Kind of this huge one in the middle of the screen as users used to see on YouTube.Here is the code for it which seems to work:
I have a large background mc that is bigger than the the stage. On the first frame I have this [code]...
it scrolls left, right, up, down, and even diagonally. But lets say I want to have a certain area on the right side where if the mouse pointer is within that area the mc does not scroll at all, but if not in that area, mc will scroll right.
I'm creating a mini site for a course I'm doing and I have a row of buttons that have an image of a character that I want to animate when the viewers mouse goes over them. I'm not good with action script and I'm stumped on what to look up when googling for an answer.
Ideally I would like the row of buttons (that the chacters sit in - and when they are clicked they go to that characters main page) to animate - ie blink or move slightly but when the viewer hovers their mouse over them they then go into a new animated sequence - so I guess that would require two movieclips - so that would mean that the first animation of a blink would run all the time (I can do that bit! ) but how to get it to switch to another movieclip for the duration of the mouse hover - and to only play when the mouse is in that area (I've done scrolling image bars before and I hated the way it scrolled even when the mouse was no where near the images!)
this is a very rough bare bones of the flash page I'm doing - I've attached it to my main website just so others can see what I'm talking about. [URL] all the squares at the bottom will have a characters in them and I want them to do very subtle things like blink or the occasional wave but when someone goes to click on them they wave or jump around - this would stop if the viewer then moves the mouse away and it goes back to the initial movieclip.
I am not able to disable mouse click on a certain part of my screen. I m workin flex 3. There is a canvas on my page. I want that users click action can only be recognized over that canvas only and not anywhere else.
I'm trying to create an area that causes a menu to fade in, similar to the toolbar in Mac OSX. So when the mouse nears that area the menu pops up, I've been trying it with some code, not sure if I'm heading in the right direction.
I have a code that i took from a file and i would like to modify one thing. The code below allows mouse movements to scroll multiple layers at different paces. The problem is that i want to limit the mouse movement area to just a center rectangle and not the entire stage. Is there something in the code below that would allow me to "define an area" for mouse movements to activate the layer scrolls.[code]

I need to have a series of four numbers appear randomly with fade in and out and stay on screen for a couple of seconds each. These are then linked through to separate movie instances that display relevant information regarding that number and then go back to the random numbers. There are options to randomly display text from an external file, but not library objects within the same movie. I have a cobbled together version using scenes and timeline animation, but it's repetitive. It needs to be more random and effective as a visual element.
I am new to Flash and am using Flash CS4. Can someone send me the code to make a top picture fade out to reveal a photo underneath when hovering with a mouse and then fade back in after you move the mouse?
