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 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.
View 1 RepliesI 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]

View 1 RepliesI'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:
[Code]...
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've attached my as file with the current code.
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.
View 1 RepliesI'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?
View 3 RepliesI 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.
View 1 RepliesI 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]
View 3 RepliesI'd like to mouseover an object and have it slide across (tween) and stop. Then when the mouse is removed from the object, it returns to its original position.It's fine if we just make it happen to a box - don't worry about all the slideshow bits and all that.
View 21 RepliesWondering which gesture to use to be able to allow the user to touch the object with their finger, slide and release the object and allow the object to continue to move across the screen once they release the object. This would all be in Air for Android as well. I don't want to move the stage itself, just an object on the screen.
View 1 RepliesI have the below function that is called when a button is clicked, however nothing happens. For testing purposes, I disabled all of the code within the function and get put in: iObject._y = EndPos; and that worked so I know the object is being passed correctly.
Code:
function SlideObjectDown(iObject,EndPos) {
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
yMC = getProperty(iObject, _y);

I have a project that I am working on the requires something simple but I can't find tutorials/examples of how to do this.
I need to create a slideshow so that when a user clicks an arrow - an image will slide off the screen and another image will move onto the screen (as if there is a long strip of images that move on and off the screen).
I have the images as a long continuous strip, and they should slide onto the screen with each click of the arrow. Then at the end of the strip of images I would like them to quickly bounce back to the beginning.
Something similar to what I want to do, only done in Flash[url]...
I have a site im making that has the text which i want to slide up on rollover and slide back down on rollout, I was able to get it to slide up but not back down all the way or back up all the way once it slid down halfway. It also doesn't wait for rollover to slide up if i leave the page and come back.
Here is my code:
Actionscript Code:
var endhome = 582.6addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, roll);while roll(evt:MouseEvent)

I'm trying to figure out how to make a slide bar that would control opacity. If I were to take to pictures on top of each other, the slide bar would control the opasity of the top image.

I have created an xml slide show and currently when one presses the next or back btns then the next or previous image will come on screen. I am trying to make it where when one presses next the next image will slide on the screen from the right side and stop at the center while the previous image slides off to the left side.

If you add an Accordion navigation component to Flex Application, like this[code]...
Question is: what code should I write to make my Accordion's panes switching animated?
(Like in Adobe's demo called Tour de Flex)
To see what I mean by animated switching between panes:
1) go here: [url]...
2) select Other Components -> Containers -> Super Accordion in the left pane
3) click on Super Accordion's pane headers and see them moving
I'm having problems with the buttons on this. As you can see the buttons won't make the menus slide the other way, almost like they're not recognisable. If you look, even the traces aren't showing up for them. Here is the .sfw and the .fla in case you want to have look: port2_Bio.swf [ 6.43 KB | Viewed 148 times ]
View 2 RepliesI have read several tutorials on moving objects around but i have had no luck finding one that tells how to put a simple function of sliding a movie one way and then another way when mousing over 2 different buttons.
I have a photo i want to slide on mouse over to the left for one button but stop at a certain point and then another button that would make it slide to thr right but only to the end of the photo.
Does anyone know the best way to do this and the easiest and cleanest coded way?
I am working on a slide show where the slides overlap. When a new slide is accessed, it slightly overlaps the previously accessed one (which is scaled down and moved slightly to give the illusion that it is being pushed back). The problem occurs when I try to use swapDepths() to make the new active slide appear over the old active one, the 2 movie clips that this function is applied on pause and continually swap depths with each other for the remainder of the movie. I read in the documentation that all tweening stops when this function is called. Is there anyway to bypass this and achieve the effect that I am looking for?

View 13 RepliesI'm developing an app for ANDROID devices using Flash Builder Burrito and am having trouble figuring out how to accomplish one aspect of my app.I have an HGroup inside of a Scroller. The HGroup has images that are 400px in width and I have the width of each HGroup column set to 400px. Although the number of items is dynamic, assume I have 10 images in the HGroup. The width of the Scroller and Viewport is set to 400px.
So far so good -- the user can see a single image within the scroller. The user can then scroll left or right using touch or mouse and see each image. But here's where I'm stuck. I want to make it so that when the user STOPS scrolling the scroller then "snaps" an image into view. In other words, I don't want half of one image and half of another image in the viewport.
Seems pretty straightforward but I can't figure it out. Part of the issue is that there doesn't seem to be an event to use for this purpose. I know I can hook in to PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE or MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP/TouchEvent.TOUCH_END (which is what I'm doing now) but that event doesn't really give me what I need.
I really need an event that fires when the user releases the mouse as part of the scroll or lifts their finger off the device as part of the scroll. And then I need to wait for the scroll to stop. For example, if I do a really fast swipe I need to wait for the scroller to stop or almost stop before I perform the snap. The event fires as soon as I let go of the mouse or take my finger off the tablet, so if I alter the horizontal scroll pos then it gets overwritten by the "slowing down of the scroller".
By the way, I know I can use modulus logic to show each image "whole". That's not where I'm stuck -- I'm stuck at which event to use to know WHEN to perform this mod logic.
Note that what I've already developed works just fine if I slowly scroll and then let off the mouse. It's only when you slide more rapidly that it ceases to work.
Here's my partially working code:
private function onVehicleScrollerMouseUp(event:Event):void
{
snapScroller();
}

I'm working on this sliding bar navigation thing , and I'd like to make the bar "snap to" certain points along the line.
