I have the problem that i am making a little gamewhere on a certain point the comand mc.y=mouseY is used but further in the program this need to be disabled how can i do that because everything i try the movieclip wil keep following my mouse.

At the moment, I'm trying to call the second thumbnail of the gallery to react differently to the other thumbnails when clicked. So there is the "onClick" mouseevent for all thumbnails, but "onClick2" for just "thumb2".[code]...

I made a map for big shopping center in flash that uses tooltips to display the shop names when moused over. Is there anyways I can make a url(html) from any of those shops refer to its specific movie clip? I am askingt because the shops wishes that its customers or site visitors should easily see the location of the shop when they click " show shop location on map"

View 2 RepliesI am trying to make a light comparison chart where the lights can be turned on inividually by the user and one can be compared to another depending on which of the 6 lights you want to view.So far i have managed to make this work with 5 lights over 33 layers and diffferent buttons and different handlers for each of the buttons on each layer but as soon as the 4 and 5 light come into play everything slows down struggles and sometimes gives up.Is there a simple way of doing this which i am unaware of.I am currently using the gotoandstop comand to go to a specific frame based on the button press.
View 8 RepliesI am making a map of the united states where I would like the map to pan to that state and then zoom into that state when that state is clicked. I have looked over a lot of tutorials, but they all seem to do a little more then I need. I would have thought it was a simple math equation using the mouseX and mouseY with the stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight, but I have no been able to figure out the math.
View 3 RepliesWhat I am trying to do here is control a movie clip with the mouse by setting the coordinates of one equal to those of the other. This is the code I have for that movie clip:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code].....
I get no errors whatsoever from this, but when I test it, I see the movie clip that I'm trying to control move with the general direction of my mouse movements, but completely offset from the mouse. Additionally, the movie clip flashes between four different positions constantly, and the output window traces the following four sets of coordinates even when I keep the mouse in one place:
Mouse Coordinates: 160,-110
Mouse Coordinates: 229,112
Mouse Coordinates: 237,368
Mouse Coordinates: 168,146
I'd like to know why there would be several sets of coordinates even when the mouse is stationary, and what I can do to fix this issue..
I've just started dabbling with AS3 coming from Director. Is there a way to detect the mouse x , y values beyond the edge of the stage? When tracing mouseX, mouseY on enterframe event the values stick at the last position within the stage when the mouse roams beyond the stage boundry.
An vague example of usage would be if you had a big movie clip as a custom cursor, and wanted it to smoothly disappear beyond the stage edge.
i've to write a simple method, wich allow me to move a movieclip inside another one, like in [URL] (i've to move it in vertical, instead of horizontal).
i've write this simple code but it seems to not work properly..

thumbs.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, moveSlide);

DisplayObject's have MouseX and MouseY getters. This is very helpful sometimes.Is there a way to easily query input state variables such as MouseDown or KeyDown?If not, I suppose I need to add listeners for these events, which is fine.
I am just wondering:why MouseX and MouseY get special treatment without a listener; if there are other getters for input data without listeners that I don't know about in other parts of as3.
I have a rectangle on stage with the registration point in the top left and a custom rotation applied.Would it be possible when I click on it that it changes its rotation to 0 but with a rotation center point around mouseX and mouseY ?
View 4 RepliesThis might be irritating simple. I am trying to convert some code from actionscript to cocos2d. I am quite new to actionscript and would like to know if there is a cocos2d function for mouseX/mouseY. If not, what would be the equivalent.

I need help with this drawing example. The problems I'm having are that the coordinate of the line being drawn always have an offset value to the mouseX, mouseY coordinates as intended, and the drawing automatically stops after a while for no reasons at all. I don't know what's wrong.

What am i doing wrong?
It's been a long time since I've done any work with actionscript, and alas I've forgotten nearly everything. I've tried to look for a tutorial that would explain basic animation with actionscript, but the one that I found on Kirupa was no longer there.
Basically I'd like to do this:On the stage I have a movieclip and I'd like the movieclip to move along the x-axis to a certain point and then back to the starting point again. The moving speed of the movieclip should also be adjustable.
I'm creating a game in flash for a university project, and learning actionscript and programming as I go. I'm very much still at a beginner level - at the moment al I have is some actionscript for drawing rectangles and moving them about the screen. This is what I'm having trouble with at the moment: I have a class called 'Creature', and I want instances of it to interact with each other. I want them to do something when they come within a certain distance of another instance. And I want them to be able to pick a random other instance to get the location of, in order to do something with that information.
What I think I need is: A function for telling the distance between two (x,y) points.
A way of referencing the nearest other instance of the class. And a way of randomly selecting from all of the instances of the class.
How to convert 3d point to 2d point? I've found next formula in Internet(camera is situated in origin)
[Code]....
But these formulae give me strange result when z are less than zero(z<0) I need build line from A(100,100,100) to B (100,100;-100) As you can see these equations give really strange result when I try to convert B point in 2D dimension
i have the follow issue :
I have a point which is setted at the border on a component, with changed transform point to the center of a component in order to match the component rotation.
the important part is when i try to get the point XY after rotation - they remains the same as before rotation.
how to get XY, after rotation ( changeing point.rotation property to specific degrees of rotaion )
I am using AS2 with Flash 8 Professional So, my problem is that I currently have a man in the middle of the screen, who shoots a line towards the mouse when I click. However, when I use hitTest to see if the line collides with another object, Flash recognizes the line as a large box if it is diagonal, so the hitTest isn't very accurate. The line only satys there for one frame, so I can't have the usual moving-bullet-style. I am either looking for a way to create an imaginary line with AS from the starting point to the mouse and beyond, and tell whether or not this line intersects with an object... or some other way that I haven't thought of to fix my problem. Keep in mind that the line rotates from a center point towards anywhere around it for 360 degrees.
