ActionScript 3.0 :: Make A Draggable Object Snap Into Place?
Jul 23, 2010
I'm new to Flash (sort of - I used it a bit back in 1999-2000, but it's changed a LOT since then). I'm making an educational game for my company that involves dragging labels from a word-bank to their correct position on a diagram. I want the kids to be able to drag any one of the five labels and move them to any one of five marked positions on the diagram. I'm using Flash CS5 with Actionscript 3. I used code snippets, so that each individual label has the following code associated with it:
So I have two circles and a square on stage, myCircle1, myCircle2, and mySquare. You can drag the two circles, if you drop either one outside the square it'll snap back to where it originally was, if it's touching the box it'll snap to the center of the square.
I want it so when the second circle (either one) snaps to the center of the square, the first one will go back to it's original co-ordinates. So only one circle can be in the square at any time.
I am currently trying to create an app using flash AIR.I would like to find some more information on how to make an object snap to another ojbect then follow its path, eg. a person object is already on the stage, then drag an arrow to the object which snaps to it, then on play button it follows the arrow path. all in pure actionscript, no guide layers.
i have two draggable mclips on stage and need one of them two snap to the other whenever it passes over it. I tried with f(hitTestObject){ mc1.x = mc2.x; and mc1.y = mc2.y}, but it doesn�t work very nice.
I am still trying to come to grips with how make an object snap to another ojbect, then follow its path with pure ActionScript (snap an arrow oject to a circle, then the circle follows the direct of the arrow when play button in hit).I am trying to create an application aimed towards something like this url...I have got my drawing line working but do now know how to make the object follow the line, here is how I have drawn my line on the stage.[code]
make snap object on the mouse movement. As, I have made the code but getting issue on removing from snapping. I have attached the file. you can look in the [URL]
I'm having trouble figuring out the code to make an object slide or snap.
I.e. imagine a checkerboard. I want it to be able to move only horizontally or vertically, from any square. But I also want to make it feel smooth like sliding (i.e. not just snap from square to square).
I am toying around with the idea of making a few card games, and was testing some code trying to get an Ace of Spades to snap to a slot.But for some reason the card isnt snapping... with the traces I ran.. it looks like it is snapping to the center. But I changed the center point with the free transform tool... so the point is in the upper right but its still not snapping.You can see by the traces I use, that the home1X = 36 means it is finding the corner
I have a flash quiz type thing, which involves the user dragging quotes onto a choice of 2 movie clips then clicking submit to get the correct answers etc (you know the kind of thing).My question is would it be possible to self tidy the buttons when they are dragged onto the MC's? For example quote 1 is released on the MC and it snaps straight into position 1, then when another quote is released it snaps neatly underneath into position 2 and so on..The difficult part is that whatever qoute is dragged first, it needs to snap to the top, the second underneath, and so on.
I have my stage. On the left side, I imported an image to the stage and converted it to a movie clip. I then added code so that it can be dragged and dropped. On the right hand side, I created an area for it to be dropped into. This is just a rectangle which has been converted to a movie clip. When the image is dropped, it resizes to the size of the movie clip rectangle. Is there anyway to make it snap into place inside the movie clip?
I'm new around these parts (I literally signed up about 3 minutes ago!). I'm a high school student who just started using Flash about a month or two ago, so I'm far from advanced, though I have tackled some of the basics. In class I'm working on an art portfolio site but in my spare time I'm making a virtual dress-up doll (you know, the kind where you can pick up the clothes and drop them on the figure to mix and match outfits).Learning how to make drag-and-drop objects was very easy and there are lots of tutorials on it but what I can't figure out is how to get objects to "snap" into place. I want it so that the doll's hairdo's snap into position because they look kind of stupid when placed incorrectly.
I am using a drag n drop (snap into place) routine. MC1 is dragged onto mc2. I want a button on mc2 to make mc1 go to its original position and reset itself. As it is mc1 goes to frame 2 where the frame is empty.
I have movie clips loading in dynamically using an XML file, and the duplicate movie clip function. I need to be able to select one of those movie clips, drag it to a desired position and have it snap to place. As for right now, I'm using :
i have to sanp images into tile or grid form. but my images are in 4 different sizes in height/width. i have to place all images in side by side like tiling.
I am new to actionscripting and I figured that the best way to learn was to do something that interest me. Currently I am trying to do an interactive clip where I need to find the script for "Snap to Place". I was told that Director had this built in "Snap to Grid" but I think Flash can achieve this too just that the tutorial haven't been posted.
I am kind of new to the whole flash sceen and am getting a little bit frustrated with the snapping (I am used to Photoshop Snapping). I have a bunch of objects the exact same size as the stage and I would like to snap them to the stage (I am making a slideshow-rotating image). I always find myself having to zoom in extreamly to make sure the edge of my image is lined up with the edge of the stage... is there a way to snap my images to the stage.
I'm trying to code the snap to grid functionality. The dragged object should snap to the grid if the distance between the object bounds and a grid line is less than 5px. I found a way to do it if the object's rotation is 0 but it doesn't work if I rotate the object. I need a different approach. Can you point me into the right direction with the algorythm or any source code?
I am wanting to in essence create a puzzle with pieces that when you drag the object you can only drop it back where you got it from or into the correct spot. Basically it is an object that when dragged to the right spot will (snap to) or drop into place. If it is dragged to the wrong spot then it will be forced back to where it was originally.
I am creating an exercise to teach the meaning of the word "take". I want draggable objects (MC's) which will automatically snap to a different position when they are dragged a little way.
This is the code I am trying (not mine I'm afraid). I have it on the same frame as the MC in "Actions - movie clip". The MC is draggable but doesn't snap.[code]...
I am using Flash CS3 with AS2 and I have made a drag and drop. Everything works fine, but I don't know how to make my movie clips snap to their targets.[code]
I only started yesterday with no knowledge at all.How do you make draggable items? I looked around and I saw things about actionscript and all that but what do you do?
I have 4 buttons which i have to make them draggable. The problem is that i have 3 conditions
condition #1. Only 1 button/mclip is draggable in its axis [done].
condition #2 .The 4 button/mclip must be dragabble at the same time, that is, when i drag one, the others should drag at the same time in their own axis.
I just started making some simple banners for web sites. I got a new one to do this morning, and I was asked to make a button that says drag/pull here. as you drag/pull down, it reveals the layer below it. Also, as the button reaches halfway, it needs to go all the way automatically as well, so the users don't have to drag all the way down themselves. Is that something I need to do in actionscript
I'm just trying to simply make a movie clip draggable (it was all oh so easy in AS2!) I'm getting "1120- access of undefined property "waves_mc"). Yes, I have the clip named waves_mc.
I want to have a draggable input textbox on the stage (it will b placed ontop of an image of a tshirt).I want the user to be able to enter text and then move the textbox around to where they want it on the tshirt.I know how to make a movieclip draggable, I have been using this:
PHP Code: on (press) { startDrag(this, false, 240, 90, 290, 290) // target, lockcenter, t, l, b, r
Is this possible at all? I have tried to use the startDrag method for dynamic text field but I still can not drag it. If I converted the dynamic textField into MovieClip symbol then it becomes draggable. But I had to keep it as dynamic textField object because I am also applying formats defined in textFormat object to that textField. If it is converted to MC symbol, then I can no longer apply textFormat. Is there any solution. Basically I want to be able to drag and change its text format for given textField.
A client of mine has seen this elastic menu box effect and has asked me to see if I can loosely recreate it. elastic box menu Does anyone know how to A; create it? or B; create a draggable elastic box and I'll go from there!!
I have a game where the user inputs text and this text is shown on different scenes. I used the following code, where 'input1_txt' is the input text box and 'output1_txt' is the dynamic text box where it is displayed:
Code: textenter_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,textdisplay); var enteredText:String = "";
