I wanna detect the direction of mouse movement. If the mouse moves tpwards the left or right of its currrent position, i want to detect it. Is there anyway to identify such movement. Actually i am implementing a 360 degree rotation of image. That means , if the mouse moves along the left side of its current position, then the image should move along its left side, otherwise it should move along the right side. For example, view this site:

Is there a way to determine the direction in which the mouse-cursor is moving (up/down)?
Kinda like a constant listener, or something.
I only know about the onMouseMove-function, but it doesnt seem to come with parameters for direction.
Maby there is something that can be done with the:
_ymouse
..parameter. Something similar to:
_ymouse ++;
..to indicate the mouse-cursor is moving downwards.

I have a clip of a small person 'flying', following the mouse coordinates. Its a 2d image facing a to one side. how I can determine when the mouse is moving right or left so that I can trigger the icon to 'flip' and face the other direction.

I would like to know how to perform a check on the direction of the movement of the mouse on stage like let us say considering the stage.height/2 as the center if the mouse moves up it should trace up and down if it moves down... I did it by storing all the _ymouse coordinates in temp array and chking if temp[i]>temp[i-1] but it doesn't work satisfactorily. i am posting the script i made...i do admit i am very bad in calculations so correct me if i went wrong somewhere

Is there any way to get the mouse location (or at least an estimate), even when it moves outside of the stage area?The reason I need this is that I am trying to detect how fast and at what angle the cursor is moving, not necessarily the location of the mouse. It works fine until you move the mouse outside of the stage area, which happens a lot, and then just doesn't record the mouse location until you move the mouse back on to the stage. Impatience leads to confusion. Confusion leads to anger. Anger leads to the dark side.

i have a scroller developed in as2. it basically scrolls continuously in a direction until the direction of the mouse is changed. the images of course loop in the continuous scroll. now the problem is that for 10-15 photos its ok. but when i feed it with 180 photos, it seems to show only 11. why would this be? any restriction on flash ??

Working on a maze game. When the leftkey is pressed the movieclip (char) should turn 90 degrees to the left.
char.scaleX *= -1;
However, the most important thing is that the character doesnt go through the walls of the maze.And I think thats my problem for implementing the code above.Because it doesnt work properly when i put in here;
if(!mazehit) {
char.y += speed;
char.scaleX *= -1;[code].....

I have a mc (fStrip) which looks like a piece of filmstrip with thumbnail images in it. I want this mc to move when the users mouse is positioned over it, but I only want it to move only along it's x-axis and in a direction opposite that of the mouse. And I want it to move or flow smoothly.
I've been trying to figure this out (see my lame attempt below) but without much luck.
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
buffer=20 //movement buffer
mousePos=_root.fStrip._xmouse //store mouse position
if (mymouse!=_root.fStrip._xmouse){ //if the mouse has moved

Im looking for a quick solution (if its out there) using the autohide feature using the FLV Playback Component.
Current situation: Using ActionScript 2. The FLV component fills the stage. Autohide is set to true.
It looks to me that since the video fills the stage, the skin will not hide. What I would like to do is have the skin fade out if the mouse doesnt move for a certain period of time.

so basically I have a circle which I got to spin around and stop when the mouse is over it. However I now need it to also spin Anti-Clockwise if the mouse is near the top of the page and clockwise if the mouse is at the bottom of the page.
Can anyone help? I did the animation through tweening in flash so my code is tiny, but here's what it is. I'm new to flash so forgive me if I don't know what I'm doing.
