How would I go about snapping the mouse cursor to the centre of an MC when it is clicked upon (thus picking it up)? using a event.target.startDrag
ActionScript Code:
if (event.target.name == myEvent) {
if (event.target.currentFrame != 2){
event.target.startDrag();

View 2 RepliesI'm a real noobie with flash and I was wondering if somebody could help me with this one. I have this actionsript 3 code, where the cursor image "ball_mc" follows the mouse's position with a slight delay:
[Code]...
1) How can I get the cursor image automatically return to the center of the stage on mouseout? As of now, it stays at the position where the mouse leaves the stage.
2) How can I reverse the movement of the mouse? So that when I, for example, move mouse to the right, the cursor image would move to the left? And when moving the mouse up, the image would go down. The stage is 800 x 250 pixels, in case that makes any difference.
As of Flash 10.2, Flash supports hardware accelerated mouse cursors:[URL]..Unfortunately, the mouse cursor doesn't update until AFTER the mouse moves. You can see this behavior on the web page above. If you click "Set to custom cursor" in the sample app at the bottom of the article, you'll see that the cursor doesn't change until you move the mouse.
Anyone have a trick for updating the mouse cursor immediately, before the user moves the mouse? I tried doing Mouse.hide(); Mouse.show(); but that doesn't work.

I'm making a drawing application, everythings looks and works ok, except for one thing...My mouse cursor is hidden and a paintbrush like cursor follows it. This cursor is a movieclip, because the user chooses a color, and the tip of this paintbrush changes to the selected color.But there's one problem... when I draw to the left the line is drawed with no problem, but when I draw to the right, the line is interrupted, and I don't understand why.I made one experiment, and with no movieclip "attached" to the mouse cursor, the line is drawed with no problem, both to the right and left.

View 1 RepliesI have created a small flash movie where the eyes of the character follow the cursor. Its based on this one here Only problem is, it only works while the mouse is actually over the movie. Is there any way to increase the sensitive area to the whole screen without increasing the actual size of the movie?
View 1 RepliesI am making an animation that shows roughly how an airplane's localizer works. (It is a guage in the cockpit that tells you the angle of the plane) This explanation might be a bit hard to follow, bear with me. Anyway, when the user moves the mouse side to side, the verticle line on the guage moves side to side. And when the users moves the mouse up and down the horizontal line moves up and down. I have set up limits to how far these lines can move in the guage. The problem I am having is that when you move the mouse in one direction, the coresponding line hits its limit and stops, but if you keep moving the mouse in that direction, stop, and then move the mouse in the opposite direction, the line begins tracking immediately from that point, so now your mouse location is off center from where it should be.
So, is there a way to also limit the active area on the screen so that mouse movement only registers in that area?

I have been working on this and thinking about it for days but I just can't seem to get it right. I want to have a circle that I can "pick up" with the mouse and then rotate (with the rotation point in the center). Currently I have done this with the following code:
PHP Code:
var radians = Math.atan2(mouseY-circle.y, mouseX-circle.x);
var degrees = Math.round((radians*180/Math.PI));
circle.rotation = degrees + 90;
I have added a mouse listener for movement to the circle mc and then checked if a button was down. On button down this code would be executed on enter frame. This code works but the main problem is that I want to be able to "pick the circle up" at any angle and rotate it. If I pick it up with this code the circle automatically rotates to 90 degrees.
I am using Action Script 3.0 to animate an instance (MovieClip class) to follow the mouse positron the thing is, the left corner of the instance follows the mouse courser. Now there is a cross on the to left corner and my guess would be that the mouse follows that cross, but i can not change the position of the cross within the instance/ original object. Does anyone know how to make the center of that instance follow the mouse cursor?

View 4 RepliesI created a movie where I have a circle in the middle and a line drawing from the center out when the mouse moves. I want to calculate the distance from the mouse position to the middle of the circle. What I am going to do is have a sound playing from the center of the ball..The closer you get the louder the sound gets and the further away from the middle the quieter it gets. You can download my fla to see what I have so far.

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to change mouse cursor from code?For example i have a text field and when people put mouse cursor on it i want it to show the hand not the standart text cursor.There seems to be many tutorials on how to make custom cursors. However I wanted to know are there any default curors to choose from (for example do i have to create my own zoom in curosor?) and most importantly what clases or functions do that.
View 3 RepliesI have a circle with 8 dots around the edge of it. Based on the center of the circle and the mouse's location, I want the dot that the mouse is closest to, to get bigger. I've got this so far ActionScript Code: angle = Math.atan2(rt.mouseY - y, rt.mouseX - x); But I'm getting some weird quadrant values returned that are between -3 and 3. Is there a way to know which degree out of a 360 circle my mouse is at in regards to the center of the circle?
View 4 RepliesI'm making a Myst clone and want the cursor to do different things when it mouses over various objects and regions, for instance:
- Turns into an open hand when over a grabbable item.
- Turns into a right-facing arrow when on the right side of the screen signifying "turn right here".
- Turns into an icon of an inventory object when the object is selected.
How is this done? I found some code that sort of did it, but it was sloppy, the cursor flickered like crazy, and overall it sucked. I want to harness in Flash the same mechanism that makes my cursor turn into the bracket thing when it's over a text field, or a finger when over a link.ALSO I want to be able to make the arrow stay a regular arrow when it's over manipulatable items I want to remain secret.
I write the code:
myMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,myMcOve r);
function myMcOver (e:MouseEvent):void {
myMc.buttonMode = true;
myMc.useHandCursor = true;
}
but i get the following error: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property buttonMode through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton. / myMc.buttonMode = true; And do not apply the action to turn into a hand on mouse over!
