ActionScript 3.0 :: StartDrag And Bounding Box

May 5, 2008

I have noticed when setting a bounding box on a drag object, if you go outside the bounds of the box you have set, the mouse won't let go of the object unless you go back inside the bounds and click on it again. Is there any way to force the stopDrag if you go outside the bounds while dragging? I have tried this bit of code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Make A Bounding Circle Instead Of A Bounding Box?

Nov 1, 2010

Is it possible to make a bounding circle instead of a bounding box?The objects should bounce INSIDE the circle.I have now a bounding box outside the circle, but the objects exceeds the circle at the corners.

I was thinking of making an array of Points on the edge of a circle and when the object is < or > then do something... but that would be a lots of if/else statements.

Flash :: Canvas Moved On StartDrag() Without Calling Set X / Y Or Move() - How Does StartDrag() Exactly Work In As3 / Flex

Feb 11, 2011

i have an .as class that extends mx.containers.Canvas (it's a draggable border of a resizable component), it becomes draggable on MOUSE_DOWN and stops being draggable on MOUSE_UP, MOUSE_OUT and ROLL_OUT. before calling startDrag() i create a Rectangle to define the drag area, i also have a _dragging: Boolean variable to control if it's draggable at the moment. the problem is that when i click this border it jumps to a negative coordinate without calling startDrag or switching _dragging to true.

i've overriden get x, set x, get y, set y and move() methods in order to solve it but the only thing i got was the fact that position changes without calling coords setters or move(), but at the moment it's changed a getter is called and returns new (negative) value so my question is what happens on startDrag() and how to filter unwanted incoming coords values?

Actionscript 3 :: Flash - StartDrag() Within StartDrag() On Child MovieClip

May 19, 2011

as you can see, I have a container MC which I have added to the stage. I set its drag constraints using a Rectangle(). I then add the 'cat' child movieclip to the container, and I want this to be dragable too. However, as soon as I click on my cat when testing the MC. It shoots to point x=0 y=0 on the stage and doesn't move.

The container MC can be moved without any trouble.

If I remove the rectangle bounds from the containers startdrag() function. both MC's can be dragged without any issue.

//panning ability
my_x = 800 - myImage.width;
my_y = 480 - myImage.height;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Webcam Bounding Box?

Jun 9, 2010

I am currently in the middle of creating a project which essentially uses Flash as a type of augmented reality system. The idea behind it is that a webcam input will capture a users hand which is placed on a white pedestal (esstially creating a complete white backbround in contrast to the hand). Create a bounding box around the hand so that objects will only move in the space taken up by the hand.

The problem I am having is wondering which functions i should use to create a bounding box that will select the space that the hand is taking up in the webcam input. I have seen the function GetColorBoundsRect but it only seems to focus on one colour and it seems to be a static function instead of one that will need to constantly create the bounding box if it moves. This isn't just a motion dection but will need to detect the hand even if it isn't moving.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Determine Bounding Box Of Semitransparant Png?

Jun 23, 2009

This PNG image is rather large, and only a small portion is filled with pixels. Most of the image is transparant.I want to apply the effect only to the part with pixels, so I'd like to create a boundingbox around that part of the image. I need to know 4 things to do this (the way I see it...): The position of the top-most non-transparant-pixelThe position of the left-most non-transparant-pixelThe postition of the bottom-most non transparant-pixelThe position of the right-most non-transparant-pixel

Don't Want Angled Button's Hit Area To Be Bounding Box

I am trying to create buttons on a 45 degree angle. They are simply text.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Change The Bounding Box Of A Symbol?

Dec 17, 2009

I'm trying to do collision detection for my game, but I don't necessarily like the premade methods hitTestObject or hitTestPoint just as they are.  I've been searching all over the place for how to change the bounding box of a symbol, but all I found was how to get its bounding box.  I'm aware of the pixel perfect collision detection code out there, but I'm looking to use bounding boxes for certain classes.
 
Is it possible to change the symbol's bounding box and still have that box recognized by hitTestObject or hitTestPoint?   If not, I might have to write my own colllision detection code.  =/

Actionscript 3 :: Get The Actual Bounding Box Of A Glyph?

Dec 21, 2009

I like to know is "where, exactly, are you drawing that glyph?" The TextField class provides the methods getBounds and getCharBoundaries, but these methods return rectangles that extend far beyond the actual bounds of the whole text object or the individual character, respectively.

var b:Sprite = new Sprite();
b.graphics.lineStyle(1,0xFF0000);
var r:Rectangle = text.getCharBoundaries(4);

[Code].....

Is there any way to get more precise information about the actual visual bounds of text glyphs in ActionScript?

Flash 10 :: Possible To Not Select Bounding Boxes?

May 31, 2011

I'm trying to animate a simple stick figure just now. I used an inverted triangle shape for the body,which gives a nice width to the shoulders. Unfortunately, flash doesn't seem to realise that it's a triangle. Due to it's stubborn way of drawing a rectangular bounding box around every shape.

This is getting in the way a lot, as there are parts of figure which are clearly not blocked by the torso, but are blocked by it's big square bounding box, which makes it a nightmare to drag the arms and legs around to where I want them

Is there any way to fix this silly behaviour, and have it only select an object when I click on a visible part of it, and not just anywhere in it's bounding box ?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Externally Loaded SWF: Bounding Box?

Dec 1, 2004

I'm not sure if bounding box is the right term or not.I have loaded an external swf (photoSlider.swf) into my main swf (resume.swf).The issue is that the photoSlider.swf is 420x290.The photoSlider.swf loads in external JPG's from an XML file, and slides them across the stage, but the JPGs extend out past the width of the photoSlider.swf stage. So when I load it into resume.swf, it isn't bounded to the 420x290, it extends out past that.Is there a way to set a bounding box for the swf?

This is my code so far and I can zoom in and out but I can keep going and going. I want that he stops after 200% or something and when he is 100% you cant zoom out more. Also I want a bounding so I cant move the MovieClip outside his own stage height and width.

ActionScript 2.0 :: ScrollPan - Bounding Box With Mask Over Text

Mar 14, 2004

See the scrollpan with the news on the main page? [URL]. I have tried tons of things, but haven't gotten something I want.. I have made something just now that works like that, except the text doesn't work completely... Basically, I have a bounding box with a mask over the text I want...Code I use (and this is applied to an MC with the whole "container" pan")

Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
diff_y = bound_box._height-scroller._height;
bounds = bound_box.getBounds(this);
top = bounds.yMin+(scroller._height/2);
bottom = bounds.yMax-(scroller._height/2);
function updateScrollbar() {
[Code] .....

My problem is basically I place my content box in the mask and it will start the whole thing at half way... the box will scroll and everything works. it's just that the content starts half way, so half the box will be empty towards the bottom.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Height / Width Of Bounding Box Of Visible Area?

Jun 23, 2008

In many cases the pieces have artifacts outside of their visible area. For example, a piece can have a picture of a dog's face, but one of the long ears is off to the side, outside the visible region of the piece. The path data is extremely detailed, so our designers didn't crop it off. They used a mask (at least I think it's a mask, I'm not a graphics guy and know little about that stuff) and this makes it invisible in Flash, when we turn them into movie clips. Also, in Flash when I look at the width and height of the piece, it does reflect only the visible area.However, in ActionScript when I try to get the width and height using, for example

Code:

pieceObject.width

I get the width of the piece including the part that is hidden, i.e. a larger width than the visible area.Is there a way in AS 3.0 to get the height / width of the bounding box of visible area only?
