I need to dispatch an event object when user stops moving mouse cursor. In poor words, i need the exatly opposite of a Mouse_Move event. Is there any solution or I need to create a event with EventDispatcher class?
View 5 RepliesTrying to use the MouseEvent.Mouse_Move event. Simply, there's one 300 x 20 line which the event is assigned and another line (100x20) is top of the first line. But if mouse moves over the second line, the event is not working... The same event could be assigned on the second line but it seems a bit waste and I'm sure there must be a way to trigger the event through the other object.
View 2 RepliesI have several stage event handlers to enable mouseovers over several dynamically generated moviecilps on the stage that then change their alpha to indicate the mouse is over that particular mc... fairly trivial (mcOver handler). Additionally, I also want to know what MC is clicked, so I update a public variable (public var activemc:Number) with the ID of the dynamic movieclip when the mouse is over it (using a hitTest to check, which is why the EventListener is added to stage and not to the MC), which is checked in the mcClicked handler:This is in the constructor:
//stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDrawing);
//stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDrawing);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mcOver);[code]....
However, the mouseover behaviour (alpha 0 when over, alpha 1 when out) stops working as soon as I click on any movieclip on the stage, and the mcClicked ID checking (below) stops working completely. I don't know if this is to do with focus:
private function mcClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
myTextField.text = String(activemc); // activemc is a public var:Number with the movieclip //ID
}
I then tried adding the event handler for the stage mouse_move again and this gets the mouseover working again but only for 1 more click, after which it stops again:
private function mcClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
myTextField.text = String(activemc); // activemc is a public var:Number with the movieclip //ID
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mcOver);
I have been using hitTestPoint so far with mouse_move listener, which means if the mouse was stationary over target area when that listener was added the desired action wont happen until mouse moves.
Basically I have this window in the middle of the stage where loader loads pictures and when picture loads if the mouse moves over that window some other stuff appears.The listener is added after each picture is added and if the mouse was stationary above the loader when that happened it doesnt trigger hitTestPoint (until mouse moves).
I have seen somewhere this same effect, but it worked even if the mouse was stationary above the image when image appeared.

I've got a png sequence of a 3d object rotating on my timeline. My as3 find the mouse.x and uses math to choose which frame in the sequence to move to. I need to be add easing to the movement.
AS3 in use:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,findF rame);
function findFrame(event:Event):void{
var frame:int = Math.floor((stage.mouseX/stage.stageWidth) * 31);
gotoAndStop(frame);
}
i'm attempting to implement a mouse event where Mouse_Move can only occur if Mouse_Down. i could introduce a boolean that would toggle during Mouse_Down and Mouse_Up that could work, but is there a better way, perhaps a more official way, of doing this?
View 1 RepliesI have a disc I am rotating with the mouse with event.MOUSE_MOVE, like a jog wheel on some audio equipment. Everything almost works as expected, but the problem I am experiencing is that the disc always jumps to the point where the user clicks on the disc. I need the point on the disc that the user clicks on to remain under the mouse while the user spins the disc but I can't seem to come up with the correct math to make it happen. Here's the code i am using:
var xd = (_knob.x - _stageRef.stage.mouseX);
var yd = (_knob.y - _stageRef.stage.mouseY);
var radAngle = Math.atan2(yd, xd);
_knob.rotation = int(radAngle * 360/(Math.PI * 2) - 90);
_knob is a vector circle wrapped in a movieclip, with the circle centered on the movieclip's reg point. _stageRef represents the main stage.
why it scrolls down fine but when it scrolls up the first line of text falls to the middle of the pageContainer?the height of the pageContainer is 440 pixels.I cant get it to stop at the top of the pageContainer.It just keeps going up (into blank space)and the text keeps moving. Heres the code:
pageContainer.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MO VE, scrollPage);
function scrollPage(event:MouseEvent):void
{
TweenLite.to(pageContainer, 0.5, { y:-(mouseY/440)*pageContainer.height+stage.stageHeight/2});
}
I create an application that will work when users move the mouse and concurrently press the Ctrl key. But, it does not work if I did not first click on screen (application run on browser).

I'm programatically dragging the play head back and forth along a timeline based on a mouse event listener. The faster the mouse drags the faster the playhead rips through the frames (it's linearly proportional). I'm also firing a starter=getTimer(); event at the inital mouse_move Event trigger (and only on the initial event) and then firing a ender=getTimer() at the end of the code that calculates the new playhead position, but only if the calculation has resulted in the playhead being told to move at least one frame (the mouse can move a few pixels before playhead will move one frame). In essence it's giving me a frame per second rate.
If I look a the delta of the two timers I rarely get anything but 0. Occasionally I'll get a 1 but not very often. There are a good few dozen heavy lines of code that need to be worked out between the initial mouse_move and the decision to move the play head, and this has to be done for a number of mouse position changes before the playhead will move at all and the second getTimer call is triggered. Does the mouseEvent trigger every ms or does it trigger at the frame rate (enterframe rate) of the doc. If so the smallest delta I should see is 31ms.
This runs as an app in the standalone swf player (10.1) and never in a browser.
Are my results indicative of this? Can the compiler really run this fast? How does one do very small timing tests that appear to be beyond the millisecond clock granularity?
My code seems to be hearing a MOUSE_MOVE event when you click outside of the Flash stage (anywhere else on the page).
I have one listener for MOUSE_LEAVE (stage), which hides some overlay controls after a 500ms interval, and another (MOUSE_MOVE) to show them again when you move back over the stage. Yet the controls show again when I click anywhere outside of the stage.
I suppose I could add a Boolean for whether the mouse is over or outside of the stage (since I'm tracking that anyway), and *not* show the controls if its outside, but is there something else I'm overlooking?
what is meant by EnterFrame and it's use and how to declare it? And also the difference between EnterFrame and MOUSE_MOVE?
View 2 RepliesI have a module, which is a simple swf file to load.
Inside there, in a modules document class I have a code like:
ActionScript Code:
buttonMode = true;
useHandCursor = true;
[Code]....
When I load the module, I can see the drawn background with proper sizes. However, the cursor is not hand (useHandCursor) and mouse events are not dispatched. They are only dispatched on some children of the document class, not on itself, on its own background. ANd the hand cursor is only over the children, not over the document class' background itself again.
The document class of the module extends Sprite.
I'm getting a flickering issue with my tool tip hovers. I've tried writing the code in 2 different ways and I'm still getting the same thingEach way seems to work fine if there's only one object, but when there are more than one and you start moving the mouse between the 2 this really annoying flickering keeps occurring? My file needs to have several objects which all overlap. I've tried altering the hit areas so that they don't actually touch - but no effect.
I've also tried swapping ROLL_OVER for MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_MOVE but all with no results.
Have 8 mc's, and when I click one want something to happen to all except the one that I clicked.My question is how do I declare "all except currentTarget" for a MouseEvent?
View 2 RepliesI'm listening for MOUSE_MOVE events.They are sent and received just fine unless the middle mouse button is held down. I don't get any more MOUSE_MOVE events until the middle button is released.Is this an issue with Flash, or something to do with my specific ouse/computer configuration (bluetooth Mighty Mouse on Lion)?Are there any known workarounds?Here is a sample project to demonstrate the problem.Left click and drag traces mouse move events, but middle click only shows middle mouse down and middle mouse up.

I would like to know how fast, flash player processes the Mouse movement? Does it process mouse movement at the same speed as the fps(frames/second) of the flash player .
For example for a function added as a listener to Mouse movement say, stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveListener); Does flash invoke this function 'mouseMoveListener' every time the mouse is moved? Is it done at the same speed at which the Operating system handles mouse move ? Or is it lesser? If so, then by what amount?

I am trying to create an image pan that's move this image oposite to the mouse position with a tween effect.
There are lots of posts and tutos but I can't make it runs with as3.
i have this code, generously taught to me by lostinbeta
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;[code]....
and i would like it to do exactly the opposite of what it's doing.currently it is set to follow the mouse without using startDrag() and i would like to apply this to a panoramic view that has several pictures sliding past one another .... a lot like lostinbeta's footer. but rather than sliding to the _ymouse i would like it to go to the opposite of the _ymouse so that it appears more realistic.
I have this in AS3
var myName:String = "David";
var result:Number = ExternalInterface.call("methodInJS", myName);

Is it possible to get the custom cursor MC to act opposite the users actions? I want it to be opposite the center of the stage, lets say the real mouse cursor is 200px to the RIGHT of the center of the stage, but the custom mouse cursor is 200px to the LEFT... get it? And the same goes for the y coordinates. I gave it a try, but can't seem to get it right, math never was my strong side
View 3 RepliesI need to have a movie/image to go in the opposite direction to the mouse.For example, I want the image to go down if the the mouse goes up.Similarly for all other directions.
I want to have a subtle deceleration of the image.I also want to have a border for the image.The mouse should only move when the image is in the boundary.I want to have a mask, so that only the part of the image in the boundary can be seen.
Does anyone know the algorithm used in this image panner [URL]
How to move the image in the opposite direction of mouse.
I have a basic script that moves a movieclip to the opposite Y position of the mouse pointer:
Code:
var cP = this.createEmptyMovieClip("centerPoint", 1);
cP._x = Stage.width / 2;
cP._y = Stage.height / 2;
var myBox = cP.attachMovie("boxMC", "myBox", 2, {_y:cP._y});
cP.onMouseMove = function() {
myBox._y = (cP._ymouse * -0.9);
};
Everything works great, but I'd really love to be able to ease the box to it's Y position, rather than moving it to it's final position immediately. I'm having a difficult time with it because the box is moved based on the mouse position, which obviously doesn't ease.
In the guidelines I noticed the following requirement:
give unit the ability to detect browser edges, and to expand in the opposite direction if expanded portion will disappear off browser window.
