I have this code is AS3
Code:
var xMouse = mouseX;
var yMouse = mouseY;
[Code]...
But unfortunately, the ship does not follow mouse rotation. The ship only rotates with respect to the mouse when you move the ship, not when you move the mouse.
Is there anyway to make a movieclip follow the mouse. I have a menu, as a movieclip and when i roll over the menu i want something to pop up where the mouse is that says 'click & drag to scroll' my main menu is called: container_mc the movieclip i want to appear i have exported it for actionscript and is called mouseovermenu.This is the AS3 i have so far:
Code:
container_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onRollOverHandler);
container_mc.buttonMode = true;
container_mc.useHandCursor = true;
[code]....
At the moment the pop up appears when i roll over but it dosnt follow the mouse. Also, i am getting more than one instance of the rollover movieclip appearing.
I'm not sure what to call this particular way of making the movieclip follow the mouse.When the mouse moves up, the movieclip plays through the frame. If the mouse moves down, the movieclip plays in reverse? I think that's how it works.

First off, lemme start by saying that this site is incredibly awesome. Every time I have a problem or wish to learn something in Flash I turn to [URL]. Now for my problem. Have you ever played Madness? You know how, depending on where the mouse is, the hand rotates i.e. points at the mouse's current position? Well, I want to learn how to do that. I've attached a short animation demonstrating what I want to be able to do (the arrow points at the mouse's position, and then gun represents the movie clip that rotates) using a script

View 4 Replieshow to make the camera follow my hero (mc), I think the problems involve me using the mouse to move my player instead of the keyboard. This is my code:
var distx:Number;
var disty:Number;

The result is my Hero following my mouse and when I click it jumps. But the camera is not following it.

View 6 RepliesI have a mouse trailer which trails pixie dust and would like it to follow a movie clip instead of the mouse. Here is the script I have for the mouse trailer... the mc is named mc_fly.
[Code]...
Imagine we have a MovieClip called "box". When I click somewhere on the screen, I want the box MC to move to that position. So I wrote something like this (just for horizontal movement):
PHP Code:
onMouseDown=function(){moveTo(_xmouse);};
function moveTo(newx){box.onEnterFrame=function(){if(box._x<newx){box._x+=5;
}else if(box._x>newx){box._x-=5;}else{delete box.onEnterFrame;}};}
Now this works to a degree, except that when the box MC moves to the right position, it then proceeds to vibrate on the spot. I thought it was probably because it can never move to the exact position of _xmouse because I'm adding 10 to the x property which is why the condition is never met. However even if I just add 1 instead of 10, I still have the same problem..
I'm fairly new to using ActionScript to move MovieClips around. I'd like to have a movieclip follow my mouse around the screen (like a mouse cursor). I put one instance of the MC on my stage, with an instance name of 'a', without quotes. (identifier is 'box', class is 'boxClass', without quotes.)

This doesn't work, which should be apparent since I'm posting this. (lol) How can I tell my movieClip to follow the user's mouse?
I'm using the following code to have an MC follow the users mouse based on it's x value. But I'd like to have this inverted...so that if the users mouse goes right, the MC goes left....instead of going right along with the mouse.
Code:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class Mover {
private var target:MovieClip;
private var limits:MovieClip;
private var ease:Number;
[Code] ......
I found this tutorial [URL] and is wondering if I could limit the area where the clip can follow? I'm planning to have my cartoon's EYEBALLS follow the mouse move.
View 1 RepliesI have 2 movieclips i want to make the gray movieclip follow the black moveclip that draged by mouse
i attach the project
How would you force a mouse follow movieclip to snap to a x y position if it reaches x y boundaries or perhaps if a button is released the movie clip snaps to a x y position? Of course if the mouse returns to x y boundaries I'd like for the movie clip to follow again.
Right now this is the code I'm using to make the movieclip follow the mouse within x y boundaries:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;

Essentially what I'm trying to do is nearly the same as this: http:[url].......However I'd like to ease/tween the movieclip position and rotation to the mouse position.The main issue I see is trying to get the current movieclip rotation and the target rotation,then tween it cockwise or counterclockwise from current to target.The way a movieclips rotation uses positive and negative numbers throws it off.If you just want to lock the mc rotation to the mouse rotation its fine, but once you try to tween it you run into difficulties. So the end effect would be like if you were to draw imaginary clockwise circles around the object, it should just keep rotating clockwise towards the mouse. Then if you started going counter clockwise it should just keep easing counter clockwise to the mouse.
