I am working on an interactive banner and I came to a problem I can't resolve. It's a kind of drag and drop little game. I need to play a movie clip after something is dropped in the right place. I think I need to add Event Listener to a movieclip and create a function with a conditional, but I'm getting it wrong.

I am using the AS from this tutorial on a bouncing ball that you can drag & drop http:[url]....I have added a basketball net mc that is stopped on frame1 that is a frame by frame animation of the net expanding. I am trying to figure out how to realistically cause the animated net to play when the basketball is dragged & dropped into the net.
Code:
on(press) {
this._freefall = false;
this._momentumY = 0;[code].....
Can i create a custom text animation or something. Ofcourse without involving variables. And can i use this Movie clip in various projects. What am i supposed to do, save it and keep it as a .fla or can the movie clip alone be saved and imported into various projects ?
View 5 RepliesI have set up some objects so that they can be dragged and dropped into an area(suitcase). This works fine but the thing is that when I move to another part of the timeline the object is put back in the same position it was in before being dropped in the suitcase. I need to be pointed in the right direction with this:
a) If an item is dropped into the suitcase then a message is displayed saying for example "you packed the socks"( I think I can handle this).
b) The object should stay in the case and be displayed there until the interaction moves on(I need this to happen).
c) The user must pack all objects before moving, so I need a way of recognising all objects are packed so that the user can move on..(I need this to happen).
I'm using AS3. I have a timeline with 12 labeled frames (page 1...page12). On frames 1 to 10, I have 3 objects that users can drag and drop onto matching places. There is a timer (60 seconds) and a counter. Users should match 15 objects correctly. If so, they go to frame 12 (congratulations!). If not, they go to frame 11 (Sorry, try again), which returns them to frame 1 (page 1).
ISSUE When users drag an object (mouseDown) and don't release it when time is over, the dragged object remains on the screen. When users go to frame 11 and game starts over, the object remains throughout the entire game.
How can I get rid of the dragged object that isn't dropped when the time is over?

//
// TIMER
var time1:int=60;
var myTimer1:Timer = new Timer(1000, time1);

View 9 RepliesI have to use the old drag and drop code on my movie clips, but the problem is when I drag the movieclip to the area on my .swf file once i release it, it sticks to the hand mover.I am encloseing the action script I am using could someone or kglad tell me what is missing from the code so that once it is released it will not stick, see code belowcircle.onPress = function(){ startDrag(this);}circle.onRelease = function(){ stopDrag();}

This works. I need to add "if (test = "one")", another drop sets this variable and the drop above should test for it. But I can't get the basics right! I'm a programmer who is new to Actionscript. What I want is:
"If the variable is correct AND if it is dropped on the target (g_target) THEN play the movie, ELSE go back to _x=130, _y=300."
The variable is being assigned correctly, I tested it with a Dynamic text box. The movie isn't running with my code!
Simple drag and drop application where mc is dragged out of one parent mc and dropped into another parent mc.All works OK until I added 2 text boxes to the mc's -- one is a non-selectable dynamic text box (a label) which is set by the code, the other is selectable input text that the user can amend.
Finger cursor disappears when user hovers over the section of the mc that contains the text fields (even non-selectable text??) When the user trys to drag the mc by inadvertantly click-dragging anywhere within both text areas it causes this error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.text::TextField@2374a381 to flash.display. MovieClip (same error appears for both text boxes)
The input text box may confuse the user - how do they sometimes click to drag and sometimes click to amend? I need to create an overlay area within the mc that is click-detected for the drag? Here's the relevant bits of code:
var itemArray:Array = [
{iname:"police",ititle:"POLICE OFFICER"},
{iname:"insurance_assessor",ititle:"INSURANCE ASSESSOR"},[code].............
what I have are pieces of a truck and the user needs to be able to drag and drop the pieces to the correct locations. I can get the pieces to drag, but I need help locking them into place once they get within a certain area. So for example if they drag and drop the wheels of the truck towards the back, but not in the exact location, then the movieclip will move and lock into place and then the movieclip becomes disabled.
var dragMC = finalMC.graphicMC;

I have made a flash application and in this flash application I have included a jigsaw puzzle. The application is wrote on one timeline and certain frames are used as different pages within the application.
The problem is once the jigsaw drag and drop are moved the pieces are displayed on all frames instead of just the one jigsaw puzzle frame I created.
How can I make these drag and drop items not be shown on the other frames?[code]...
I have made a drag and drop quiz, which can allow one drag_mc to be dropped to one of three target_mc's. I would like it that when the drag_mc hits any one of the target_mc's that it goes to and plays the drag_mc's frame 2.
Here is my code so far
stop();

View 5 RepliesIs there any way to set the depth level for a movie clip that is dragged to the stage, rather than created in Action Script.
View 10 RepliesI have the standard drag and drop functionality setup with the MOUSE_DOWN / MOUSE_UP commands. However, if I just click on the item and decide not to drag, it still executes the commands like it was dragged. Is there any code I can put in so that if they decide not to drag the movie clip, the function doesn't fire?
View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip (pano_mc) that I can click and drag left and right. When I drag it to the right, it stops dragging when the left edge of the clip reaches the left edge of the stage. This is great!
When I drag the image to the left, the right side edge if the clip does not stop at the right edge of the stage, but continues to click and drag until it reaches the left edge of the stage.
I need the left edge of the clip to stop at the left edge of the stage and the right edge of the clip to stop at the right edge of the stage.
Here is the code I have so far
The pano_mc is registered to the top right corner and is 7024px in length. I know it is a bit large. The axis_mc is anchored to the upper left.

I need a few answers and pointers for my game [URL] First off, is it possible for a graphic to be hidden once a movie clip has been dragged over it? The plan is for the grid to be covered in question marks, until the users drags the small smiley over the same large smiley at which point the question mark will be hidden revealing the large smiley. The user then gets a 2nd chance to match up the other remaining smiley, if they fail to get the right smiley is it possible for the question mark image to appear back over the top of the smileys?
View 5 RepliesI'm creating a small drag & drop activity, and I want to be able to check and see if the dragged movie clip is completely within the bounds of another movie clip (or at least in the bounds of a certain x/y zone on the main stage. I can't use dropTest because it returns true if any tiny bit of the movie clip overlaps with the dropTest movie clip.
I also thought of something that just checks the x/y coordinates of the dragged movie clip, but I'd need this to reflect a range of values rather than one coordinate. For instance, I'd want to return true if the movie clip's x is between 50-60 AND the y is between 50-60. I'm attaching a small graphic to illustrate in case my explanation isn't clear enough [URL]
I have a movie that I want to be dragged on the x coordinate on click, and if you drag it to the left it should play a different movie then when you drag it to the right. here is what I tried so far and of course it does not work.

At step four, it says to
4- Inside another Movie Clip named "Limits" place "Pads" and "Wall". Pads' instance name should be "Pads" and Wall's instance named "Border". We put the Wall and Pads inside the same Movie Clip, to use it to know when the ball collided. And we couldn't put everything together because the ball behaves different if hits the Wall instead of the Pads.
How do I create this movie clip and put the other movie clips "inside it"? Also, if anyone can find out, where do I put this movie clip? Do i put it at the same spot as the wall?

I've only ever used tweening to move an object on the stage which always looks choppy. Say I have a movie clip that is just off the stage and I want to bring it to the center of the stage nice and smoothly starting slowly, getting faster and the slowing down,what actionscript would I have to use. In fact to make it easier, here's a FLA which uses traditional tweening to move the object, what must I do with it to get rid of the tweening and replace it with a nice smooth actionscript?
View 6 RepliesI am trying to place an external .swf into my main movie.
I created a container movie for the .swf in the main .fla:
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("mapcontainer",this.getNextHighestDepth );
mapcontainer._x = 163;
mapcontainer._y = 101;

I imagine that the solution lies in readjusting _root for the fact that the external .swf is now placed inside a parent, but I don't know how to do that.
n.b. my final movie is meant to run offline.
