ActionScript 3.0 :: StartDrag() Constrain To Rectangle?
Oct 19, 2009
I am trying to created a constraint to a rectangle. I have the startDrag working and I am trying to constrain a square to the movie size of 600x400.I have been searching online help files but I can not for the life of me get it to work, would someone beable to put me out of my misery. I have attached the demo file I am working with but I will also post my script here for thoughs who prefer that...
Code:
("animation", false, 0, 0, 300, 300);
but know joy...
my code:
////Button Listeners/////////////
Code:
// BtnNav listeners
btnNav.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, btnNavOver);
btnNav.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, btnNavOut);
btnNav.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnNavDown);

I have 9 images that are draggable on my screen - and when pressed become the top image- using the script below. I'd also like to constrain to a rectangle (or coordinates) - ideally adapting the exisiting script and movie clip set-up.

I have a small movieclip where an external image gets loaded into a custom shape mask. The user can then drag the image around. This is all working fine.
I am now trying to constrain the movement allowed so that the image cannot ever leave the masked area.
On my startDrag() function i have tried to include the following properties but i cannot get this to work:
(false,new Rectangle(-xpos,ypos,stage.stageWidth,0));
Code:
// Imports.
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;

So I have a Sprite and if using startDrag(), how do I constrain the movement to x-axis only? that is, move it horizontally? The free x,y movement code sample is here, directly from Adobe's livedocs: [URL]

how to constrain the Mouse movement along with the MovieClip I am dragging. In the following example, if Mouse travels outside of the box, it stops responding to MOUSE_UP. I would like Mouse to be constrained to the same area as ball during dragging, that is, when ball reaches a boundary Mouse will stop as well.
ActionScript Code:
var box:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
box.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000, .75);

I'm doing a tutorial on using the startDrag function but have no idea how to get the coordinates for my rectangle.How do you find the 4 points? I've tried using my mouse to pinpoint the location but that doesn't work.Here is the generic code:myMovieClip.startDrag(false, left, right, top, bottom);

I want to drag one movie clip within specific region. For that I have created one rectangle with following
var rectangle:Rectangle = new Rectangle(52.75, 5, 100.25, 0);
Though I have given x position 52.75 ; i can drag movieclip to x position - 52.

I am noticing that if you let the mouse wonder away from the movie clip while dragging, it doesn't drop when you let go of the button. You have to click in the defined rectangle for the drag for the movie clip to drop appropriately.
How can I define my mouse movement to the same rectangle as the drag while the movie is clicked on and being dragged?

I have a pretty simple function here where I want to start dragging a video scrubber along the x axis within bounds, and drop it when they let go. The code works perfectly if I don't specify a bounding rectangle (except it doesn't restrict to x-axis). What's up with that? Here's my non-working code:
Code:
videoConsole.scrubber.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragScrubber);
videoConsole.scrubber.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, releaseScrubber);
private function dragScrubber(e:MouseEvent):void{

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?

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;

For those of you still with me, I am tasked with making some scrollable content in Flash. Load in a TextFile using LoadURL(), then display it. To get the text, we've written our own class TextFieldExtended, which is basically just there to give the textfile location to the constructor and then have the class do the various steps of getting it and loading it for you.So I needed to get a Scrollbar, which I got hereThe thing is, it works with Sprites.After trying to get it to accept TextFieldExtended, I bumped into a block, since the scrollbar relied heavily on a Sprite property that TextFieldExtended didn't have or could have.
So I tried adding the TextFieldExtended instance to a Sprite instance using addchild.A problem occurs here that I do not know how to handle. It seems that a Rectangle is drawn and the Text is drawn on that. I say this because the scrollbar moves the Rectangle up and down a bit, but the text doesn't scroll, just the Rectangle it is positioned in and the text then moves along with it.My question: can this be fixed, or is does this implementation of scrollbars need a lot of adaptations before this is possible?

I am trying to convert a rectangle(actually multiple rectangles) to a curved rectangle. I think it should be pretty easy but I guess i am stupid. Basically I would have a start position and stop position (many of these), and they would be converted to curved rectangles and follow in a cicrle around.

I would like to create a rectangle inside of a rectangle, starting approximately 15% inward from the right side of the other rectangle.
I know how to create rectangles with:
Code:
var newHotRect:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
newHotRect.graphics.beginFill(0x00FF00);
newHotRect.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
addChild(newHotRect);
But how would I make another rectangle on top of that (the black one pictured) that is approximately 15% from the right?
I toyed around with .right, and .bottomright with no success. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? or even finding the x and y of the upper right or bottom right side of a rectangle?

how to respond when a rectangle hits another rectangle? I already know how to detect the collision, I just don't know how to respond to it. I'm just trying making a simple side-scrolling platform game where I have platforms I can walk on and bump against on all sides. I have searched everywhere and just can't find the tutorials I'm looking for.

I load swf files continuously, but if one of the swfs has some defective code such as Mouse.hide() the mouse disappears when the swf is loaded. I want to constrain such malicious code in loaded swfs. There is also another problem related to containing loaded or loading swfs. When I load a swf which loads another swf to operate, It never completes loading (Event.Complete of contentLoaderInfo) because it needs another swf to load. However, the swf should be loaded before it runs. Since loaded swf is as-2, loader does not give any error. I am also suspicious whether or not it will give error if it is as-3.

I'm at a bit of a coders block, and I'm sure it's quite simple. I tried using the following:Code:((angle-180)%360) + 180But for angles < 180 degrees, it works just fine, but after that it get's a little funny. I know why it's doing that, I'm just looking for a way to fix it.

I have a MC called planPOPUP which is draggable and at the moment I am constraining where the MC can be dragged to by using the 4 co-ordinates method such as:
Code:
startDrag (_root.loadHERE.allImagesMC.planPOPUP, false, 116, 231, 913, 396);
Now would it be possible to, instead of using that method, place another MC around the edge of the stage, making a border, and then have some code so that whenever planPOPUP touches the border MC it cannot be dragged over it? Thus constraining it to within the borders of the stage?

[code]...Now if I load this swf into a bigger SWF the mouse is acting in the entire movie as if it were in de loaded swf. This also happens when I test it (ctrl-enter) and make the resulting box bigger... the mouse will not fade at the border of the swf any more, but at the border of the containing window....) is there a (easy) way to constrain the mouse behaviour within the box of the loaded swf (like the MOUSELEAVE event triggered when i leave the box of the loaded swf in stead of the entire stage?)

I have some script that loads an external image into the UILoader that also has a mask created based on loaded image width and height, which also centers on stage. That works great. On user click somewhere within the loaded image, the image then scales from that mouse position out.
i.e.: if I click top left corner image scales from that point out, center, left, right... etc. using the tween. That works great.
On mouse move image then pans reverse to mouse position. i.e.: I move mouse left image pans right, move mouse up image pans down, top left corner image pans down bot right...etc. Also using tween. This is where it becomes tricky. The image does pan, however it does not pan completely to left, right, up, down, diagonally and so forth. once mouse reaches boarder of mask the image pan stops, unless mouse is way outside boarder.
Then that creates another problem where the image now pans so much that it goes past the boarder and almost out of sight. Ideally when mouse moves to masked boarder, panned image should be at its image boarder then stop. Constrained within the masked boarders.
Code:
var myImagePanTween;
function moveImageTween(e:TweenEvent = null):void {
var CurrentMouseX=mouseX;
var CurrentMouseY=mouseY;
[Code] .....
I think there should be away to include a constraint within the Tween, as well calculate the image size so that when mouse reaches boarder the image should be panned to its width/height, up, down, corners ect.. within the mask. Make sense?

I have a draggable slider that looks like this:
The blue bar has the instance name track and the pink dot has the instance name puck.
I need the puck to be constrained within the blue area at all times, and this is where my maths failings work against me! So far I have the puck moving along the x axis only like this:
private function init():void
{
zeroPoint = track.x + (track.width/2);
puck.x = zeroPoint-(puck.width/2);

I'm trying to create an interactive piece, where the veiwer can move sliders to effect to movement of other pieces. I understand how to contrain the movement of the sliders, and I've done so, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to constrain the movements of the mc's effected by the sliders. How do I do this without using the drag function?
