I am looking for a way to simulate a mouse hover/mouse click. What's happening is a bar is autoscrolling and checking to see if there is an active button 'below' it. Sort of like a bar rolling along a music staff and checking for notes.
What can I use to accomplish this?
I'm developing Greasemonkey scripts for a website. I do not control the Flash file.
Question: Is it possible to simulate a mouse click on a button/movie clip in a Flash object embedded in a web page? Googling only shows ways to simulate a mouse click on a DOM element, and ways that require the ActionScript to be changed to implement a JavaScript interface. Or is this simply impossible?
I am trying to show the first image of my image gallery when it is loaded. How would I go about simulating a mouse click event that will pass an event value to a function?
[Code]....
Is it possible to simulate a MouseEvent.CLICK to get fired by just firing first a MOUSE_DOWN followed by a MOUSE_UP.
As per Adobe's doumentation.
"... For a click event to occur, it must always follow this series of events in the order of occurrence: mouseDown event, then mouseUp. The target object must be identical for both of these events; otherwise the click event does not occur. Any number of other mouse events can occur at any time between the mouseDown or mouseUp events; the click event still occurs." [code]...
I want to program something that does this but I have no idea how to get started or whether it is possible.
1. Using the loader class I will load several images to the stage and set their x / y coordinates accordingly so that they don't overlap.
2. A random x, y coordinate is generated within the document class.
3. If there are any loaders that exist at that location it will be deleted.
If the x, y coordinate was to be generated by a click to the stage, I could do it like this.
Code:
// detect for clicks at the stage level
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dosomething);
public function dosomething(e:Event) : void
[Code]....
But I want to be able to send a simulated click instead at a certain x y coordinate, and then use the .target to operate on the object that it refers to. Is this possible?
I changed the mouse cursor using a tutoral from this forum, but when I press the right mouse button,the standard mouse cursor reapears.How to prevent that?
View 10 RepliesI am trying to have two guestures on a SpriteVisualElement which I thought should be pretty simple implemented: Mouse_Move for sweep Gestures and mouse click to enable.. So I have 2 Eventlisteners on my stage:

The main problem is that every type of sweeping on the screen also fires the taphandler().. how to identify the correct event? I tried to to my taphandler only if(!event.buttondown) but no success.

I was wondering if is there is possible to detect the pressure (how hard the mouse button is pressed and kept hold) on mouse? If not, can we simulate it by some technique/method?

View 3 RepliesHaving used copyPixels to display an image, I'm trying to copy another in it's place when the mouse is hovering.The only way I can copy the new image over the old is by setting the If statement to == false.

I need to make a resizeable menu like the menu.gif picture I uploaded. For example the menu to have 5 or 6 elements doesnt matter the problem is to make them adjustable on size (will be different movie clips each one) on mouse hover over each one of them but also snap like this.

View 1 RepliesI want a LinkButton's style to stay unchanged when the mouse hovers over it. (But I still want the tooltip to work.) How do I do this?
(The mouseOver event seems relevant, and I do a noop() on that event, but my goal is to leave the style unchanged rather than do something specific.)
By the way, I am using a non-default style, defining it with CSS in the MXML.
I am working on creating a catalog but need to know how to have it where if the user hovers over a product a larger picture will be displayed.
View 8 RepliesI've made a custom mouse cursor but the cliente wants that little hand when the mouse is over a button and/or links. Is that possible?
View 2 RepliesI've been pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I've looked all over here and other websites and can't find the answer. Here's the situation: I have a movieClip that has an animation inside of it. When the movieClip is hovered over, it changes to the hand (indicating it's clickable). What I need to be able to do is change the hand back to the default cursor. Every single article I've read is about how to change your cursor to something else (using mouse.hide() and replacing it with an image), which is not what I want.
View 2 RepliesI have a flash file that uses Mouse.hide() and sartDrag() to show a custom cursor. The problem is that when the cursor is above a button or movie clip (via level or layer), it doesn't work... sometimes it flickers a bit, but that's it.
This is the weird part:
When I move the custom curser beneath the button or mc, (via level or layer), it works perfectly.
I'm using CS5 actionscript 2. I would like to create hovering text when one mouses over an item in the navigation window (please see pic). You know, something that would act like a brief abstract to give the user more info re: whether or not they need to click on that link.At present, the nav_mc is linked to an xml doc FYI (the nav_mc accordians in and out, but doesn't have to). I input what I want the menu and submenu to say in the xml nodes and it shows up. It would be cool if the hover text added could also be xml driven tooI am green to this so the more detail the better. Do I need to create a new xml doc? new .swf? How do I link this? Should I use Flash Builder or Catalyst?

I have a sprite on which I have added two textfields side by side, horizontally. I have set the buttonmode of sprite = true. But the mouse cursor changes from regular to clickable only when I hover it on the textfields. In the empty area between the two textfields, the cursor still appears regular/normal.
View 1 RepliesI just started playing around with as3 and I have a function for mouse clicks that draws a shape on each click. However the mouse click event does not appear to work unless I click a movieClip object I placed in the middle of the screen.

I have designed a menu that When you mouse over it, a custom cursor appears. When you mouse down it disappears and when you mouse up it returns. If you happen to mouse down and then drag the mouse off of the menu (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up outside the menu, the custom cursor disappears. All good. The only issue is: If you happen to mouse down on the menu and then drag the mouse off of the menu AND off of the stage, i.e the SWF (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up completely off of the stage, the custom cursor appears at the point it left the menu. I have tried to fix this using MOUSE_LEAVE but this dosnt work when the mouse button is pressed down. I have attached an FLA, SWF and the AS below.
Code:
stop();
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

how to use flash, which is a daunting task. To make matters worse, my mouse will not click whenever a new window opens. For example, the dropdown windows that pop up when you click the corner of some of the tools. (like the tool to draw a rectangle or oval, etc.) Icons will highlight when I move my mouse over them, but clicking does nothing at all. I have the Adobe Post Production Suite, and it does this for all of the programs I have tried so far. For example, when recording in Soundbooth I can't click the record button or the stop button. Thus far I have been using the enter button and shortcut keys to get by, but this doesn't work all the time because some features don't have shortcuts. My laptop is a Dell Studio XPS. It's a little over a month old, and I've never had this kind of problem before. I tried running the programs while using a Wacom tablet to see if my mouse had gone bad, but nothing changed. I've searched the forums and haven't found anyone with similar problems. This really has me stumped. Another problem that I think is related: I can't change the colors of objects in flash. Whenever I open the color palette and put my mouse over a color, it shows up as gray. (All the colors show as the same shade of gray.) I've used lots of programs since I've had this computer, and never had anything like this happen. The only thing I can think of that might cause a problem is that my computer is a widescreen. This sometimes causes a problem with certain applications because the windows are too tall.
View 4 RepliesI have a movie clip, and I would like it to stop blocking mouse clicks from getting to deeper items on the stage.I haven't added any eventlisteners to the offending clip, but when it is overlapping other clips that do have listeners, it intercepts clicks and prevents them from getting to the overlapped clips.
