ActionScript 3.0 :: Mouse Over Actual Panzoom Animation Graphic Causes All To Vanish?
Jun 25, 2010
see code below. We have movieClip called Map_Collection (in properties) within which are movie clips BusRoute_42 and BusRoute_43 (in properties) as well as the basic map artwork graphic. These are lines that glow (motion tween alpha1% to 100% to 1%) when buttons outside of the map boundary are clicked on. Buttons sit on Scene1 stage outside of the map area and are named in properties Button42 and Button43
Coding also makes the map zoom and pan, using mix of freesource whitecat redcat and greymouse coding for pan and another for zoom with focus at mouse location.
The problem:-
1) Map route glows ok when button clicked, and pan zoom is ok until user happens to shove map around just on the location of the glowing line, the entire flash movie then goes white, all artwork vanishes.. Why ? Near it ok, but on it, zappo !
2) zoom works but zoomout eventually inverts then gets larger !

PS I dont suppose there is a way of copy pasting code in from CS5 retaining the colouring of it ?

Is there any way in flash in which i can control the position of the mouse? i need to be able to reset the mouse to a predefined position, but when i do _xmouse=value nothing happens and if i am using mouse._hide and have a movieclip instead of the mouse and do mc._x=value the movie clip goes to my position but as soon as i move the mouse it goes back to the previous position... i need a way to control the ACTUAL "ms windows" position of the mouse ... maybe with Javascript?

I am replacing the mouse pointer with a custom graphic in an .swf that takes up part of a web page (.swf stage is about 350px wide, total layout is about 1000px). My code is all working fine, except that, if you move the mouse fairly quickly -- as you might do to get from a point on the .swf to the opposite side of a large monitor -- the .swf loses track of the mouse, and thinks that the ._xmouse/._ymouse values are still the same as the last point that that Flash saw the mouse, which is usually somewhere in the middle of the stage, thus "orphaning" the custom cursor. If I have a setInterval or something tracing the mouse position, the .swf still thinks that the mouse is sitting on top of it, even though the cursor is actually far away somewhere else. hitTest also still returns true as though the mouse was there (as you might expect, given that it's based on _xmouse/_ymouse).
The workaround/hack I have going now is that, once the pointer switches over to the custom cursor, it starts a setInterval, and then if the mouse appears not to move for a few seconds, it reverts back to the default cursor (i.e., Mouse.show). Obviously, this is not optimal, because that means that the custom cursor disappears if you don't move the mouse for a second or two, and it doesn't really solve the problem anyway because it still looks like the custom cursor gets stuck for a second when you move too fast.

I am trying to make a graphic of a card slide down with actionscript, I don't want to use the time line.
Code:
// Get the card top pos
var card_y = getProperty ( _root.Aladdin.Card, _y );
// Move down
for ( var i = card_y; i <= 0; i++ ) {
setProperty ( _root.Aladdin.Card, _y, i );
}
Obviously this makes the car animate way to fast and cannot be seen by the user. So how exactly in actionscript would I put a 0.1 second pause between each loop iteration?

I am making a very simple stick figure animation which will be intended for tv, specifically HDTV 1080p.I have no idea how i did it but I did the animation and before I knew it it was not on scene 1, but on the graphic symbol timeline. I think it is because I made my character a symbol, and i guess everything followed. But when I put them on the stage from the library, only part of the animation shows up, the part with the character i made into a symbol...not only that, but if I copy and paste all the frames from the symbol timeline onto the main timeline, it is HUGE! it doesn't match the size or placement it was on in the other timeline..Also, are there any specific requirements for editing with intent for hdtv? I read you can't use movie clips but as for size, etc? What do you have to set at the beginning and what will change when it is exported or converted for tv?

Should I use Movie Clip or Graphic Symbols for Character Animation? What do people who make TV shows use. If I'm not planning on manipulating any symbols with ActionScript and I'm not using a symbol that requires it's own time line like a walk cycle, is there any reason to use movie clips symbols? If I put my animation on the web will it download noticeably faster if I use graphic symbols instead of movie clip symbols?

allow the user to clip a button and then place a sybmol (either movie clip or graphic) where the user clicks. I would like to use AS2. The project is simply to label a supply and demand curve graph and user needs to plot, or place points wherever they want on the canvas.

I have a movie clip I am using as a button (instance name btn1) and I added an event listener to it (using the following line): btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, animate1); the function "animate1" triggers some small animation when the mouse is over the movieclip. my problem is that the animation is triggered both on mouse over and mouse out events.

I'm using the following to reveal scrollers on mouseover, but although one replaces another when I move the cursor over the buttons, when I move the cursor away from all buttons or move to another area on the page, the last scroller I moused over remains visible -- can anyone tell me what I need to change on the following code to make the scroller vanish on mouseout?
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("s1");
_root.scroller.swapDepths(2998);

I have a question on how i can remove an object when two objects hit.I have two objects on the stage overlapping.
object #1 = character_mc
object #2 = vanish_mc
I want to make it so that the object #2 (vanish_mc) will vanish once i run it.
I have this code:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, vanish);
function vanish(event:Event):void{
if(character_mc.hitTestObject(vanish_mc)){
// here the code to remove vanish_mc from the stage
};
}

I am working in Flex. I have an arraycollection which is used to fill a tilelist with images. I am using filter method of arraycollection to filter out certain images from tilelist based on a selected value from combobox. The issue is that when the images are filtered out they just vanish suddenly. But I want to give some effect to them when they are filtered out, say slow fade effect or zoom effect. I tried removedEffect, hideEffect etc. but in vain.

I have a movie clip working where on rollover it sends it to scene 2 to play an animation but I don't know how to bring it back to scene one once you roll off of the clip. I have so far:
R1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, do1);
function do1(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndPlay(2)
stop();
}
what needs to be added to send it back to scene 1 after you MOUSE_OUT?

I am creating a sort of "information slideshow" for a clients website where a movie clip on the main stage acts as a slideshow and when not touched by the users mouse it fades through 3 stages giving information on 3 different subjects, then when the user places their mouse over the movie on the HTML page the animation stops to allow the user to use the scroll bar on the right of the movie to scroll through the information on the subject, then when the user is finished then can move the mouse away from the movie and it will continue to play through as it did before.
i have the animation playing with the 3 seperate "states" and identical scroll-boxes for each state and im trying to think of a way to make the animation stop when the mouse is over it WITHOUT using a button, when a button is used on the top layer of the animation the scroll boxes are not useable as the button is on top of them, so i tried making a gap in the button to cater for them but then of course the mouse isnt over the button when the user goes for the scroll box and the "rollout" part of the script is activated and the movie continues to play. is there a way to make the animation stop prehaps when the mouse is over the "main automation" movie clip WITHOUT the use of a button, or what would be even better is when flash detects that the mouse is over the top of the actual .SWF itself it stops the movie.

I am looking for real simple scripting - I have a 15-25 frame flash tweened animation and all I would like to do is run thru the animation once then on mouse click go to frame one and start again. And of course I am under a time crunch and completely fogged with actionscript 3.0. I did some basic projects back in the director days and thought I could just pick up where I left off. If I remember right it was simple scripting like
gotoFrame
and
pause
etc...

Image mouse overs cause fades the image to "black and white" and calls up a "view more" animation.
As far as I can tell, there are no sprites or images associated with this "view more" clip! I have searched everywhere, the images, graphics, movies, root directory.

I've been working on my project and finally got to make the animation work, but what I noticed is that before I get to mouse over, it keeps going.
The movie clip is a picture that rotates about 45 degrees and goes back to the starting position. When the timeline reaches the point where the actionscript starts, it keeps moving until I mouse over and works the way it should (moving on MouseOver, stopping on MouseOut).[code]...

I have Flash CS4 but I decided to use Actionscript 1/2 for this file. I am a beginner at using ActionscriptI need my file to loop back to frame 110 on mouseover. Also, the animationshould not loop or stop until the animation is over. What is the actionscript code for this?I already added a stop(); command at the last frame of one layer so it won't loop)

I'm creating a mini site for a course I'm doing and I have a row of buttons that have an image of a character that I want to animate when the viewers mouse goes over them. I'm not good with action script and I'm stumped on what to look up when googling for an answer.
Ideally I would like the row of buttons (that the chacters sit in - and when they are clicked they go to that characters main page) to animate - ie blink or move slightly but when the viewer hovers their mouse over them they then go into a new animated sequence - so I guess that would require two movieclips - so that would mean that the first animation of a blink would run all the time (I can do that bit! ) but how to get it to switch to another movieclip for the duration of the mouse hover - and to only play when the mouse is in that area (I've done scrolling image bars before and I hated the way it scrolled even when the mouse was no where near the images!)
this is a very rough bare bones of the flash page I'm doing - I've attached it to my main website just so others can see what I'm talking about. [URL] all the squares at the bottom will have a characters in them and I want them to do very subtle things like blink or the occasional wave but when someone goes to click on them they wave or jump around - this would stop if the viewer then moves the mouse away and it goes back to the initial movieclip.

how to make an animation reverse on a mouse event.I have a FLA with 20 frames with a movie clip (box_mc) with a motion tween applied, left to right then stops. I simply want to be able to click on the box to make it play backwards to the starting position. Simple? Not for me it seems. The last frame has a stop action, and the first has the code below.
import flash.events.Event;
box_mc.buttonMode = enabled;
box_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goBack);

I have made a flash button, but I have a small problem. When i hover the mouse over the MC, my animation works fine. But when I remove the mouse, it plays the animation again. I can't figure out why. The animation is only supposed to play as the mouse hovers over the MC, and only then.Here's my code:
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_picture_mc = true;
} on (rollOut) {

I am trying to make a class that plays an animation from code when the user clicks on a MovieClip.I copied the animation from the time line using "Copy motion as actionscript3", and made a class that plays it. However, when I try to add the mouse click functionality I run into problems:
1. If there are several instances of the class on the stage, clicking on one instance plays the animation on that instance, as expected. But if I then click on the other instance the animation plays on both clips.2. Repeatedly clicking on the same instance results in the animation eventually only playing partially, as if the animation got terminated early. This is the case even when I wait until the animation finishes before clicking again.I suspect that this behaviour is caused by AnimationFactory.addTarget getting called repeatedly.
Code:
package { import flash.display.MovieClip; import fl.motion.AnimatorFactory; import fl.motion.MotionBase; import flash.filters.*; import flash.geom.Point; import flash.events.MouseEvent; public class Square extends MovieClip { public function Square():void { addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playAnimation); } public function playAnimation(e:MouseEvent):void {
