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]
View 14 RepliesI 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;

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.

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 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?
View 3 RepliesI'm moving an HSlider thumb via the accelerometer. The following code works fine. The problem, though, is that as I keep tilting the device, xSpeed continues to increment. This means that when I now tilt it the other way, the thumb doesn't move for a while -- since, depending on how long I was holding tilted in that intial direction, xSpeed has been going up and up.So this works, but with the abovementioned flaw:
private function readAcc(e:AccelerometerEvent):void
{
xSpeed -= e.accelerationX * 4;[code].......
But what I want to do is to stop incrementing xSpeed once the hSlider.value == either the minimum or the maximum. Sounds simple, but when I put in if statements, they prevent the thumb from moving at all:
private function readA(e:AccelerometerEvent):void
{
if(h.minimum < h.value && h.maximum > h.value)[code]........
After adapting loads of code from load of different places, I've ending up with this code.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var constraints:Rectangle = new Rectangle(text123.width/2, stage.stageHeight/2, 0 ,text123.width - text123.height);

I cannot get this movieclip to only drag vertically, and not be contained by the stage. I'm trying to create a masked, non-scrollbar, scrollable text.
How would I constrain it to the x axis?Also, how can I put a maximum and minimum _x value on it, that it wil always stay between?I'm sure I know this already, just can't remember.Edit: nevermind,and you just need a couple more parameters.Edit2: Ok, new question, I have this code, to make a little bar follow the mouse behind the menu, it works ok, but I can't click the buttons anymore, and the rollOut doesn't seem to work
Code:
leftConstraint = 60
topConstraint = 0

I want to make a handle pull up and then down through an arc. Now using the startDrag on the Handle won't make the handle pivot around an axis. It needs to move a bit like a (one arm bandit) or (The old coin Poker Machines) I have attached a basic file to show the problem I have so far.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a movie clip that contains different buttons. Not all the buttons will be visible on the stage always, so I want that when the user moves the mouse arrow left, the movieclip containing the buttons updates and move along with it to the right...and vise versa. The issue I am having is that my pieces update only after I am done moving the mouse. So the movie clip is not moving along with the pointer. Attached is the code. Here is a sample of what I am trying to accomplish: [URL]

Is there a way to use the startDrag function on a movieclip on movement?
Is there a way to have a MovieClip with startDrag, but to force only horizontal and vertical (i.e. not diagonal) movement?
View 4 RepliesI was wondering if it's possible to use the startDrag function AND giving the selected MC an elastic movement. Or if I 'm supposed to use an onEnterframe function instead.My project needs me to use startDrag only, but I can give a smooth elastic MC movement with this function.
View 2 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is something of a jumping character in a platform game. My problem is that no matter where I place the character, it's jumping to a certain height on the stage, rather than to a height relative to the movie clip's original position. As if I'm telling it to jump to a global y coordinate, when what I really want it to do is move it "n amount" in the y direction. Here's what I have so far, this is the code I placed on the movie clip itself.
//Constants
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
jumpspeed = this._y/1.2;

I'm trying to make an object to move randomly across x-axis and while it moves back and forth it also scales in width.
View 3 RepliesI'm working on a website and I have a movieclip that I want to move, but it would be easier to have actionscript control the movement. I need it to slide up along the y-axis for a certain amount of pixels and then stop, preferably even being able to set how long it'll take to go from point a to point b. does anyone know the script for this?
View 10 RepliesI'd like a movie clip to randomly move along the x axis whenever the mouse is clicked by using actionscript 3.0.
The movie clip is a city skyline I have in the background.
I can get it to sort of move when a mouse is clicked with this code
var skylineTween:Tween=new Tween(skyline_mc,"x", Regular.easeInOut, Math.random(),85,3,true);
I am having trouble getting my preloader to fill from bottom-to-top instead of top-to-bottom. I moved my registration points to the bottom left on the symbol like suggested in a previous thread and it didn't help.[code]

View 2 Replieswell i've read the random movement tutorial but now i only want things to move randomly horizontelly; on the x axis. I'm pretty sure this is possible since most things are with flash so would anyone know what AS would be used? i've treid the one here: [URL] and deleting stuff that i think is not relevant. But i keep getting more and more erros each time i try to fix something...so anyone know what the AS would be? thx
View 1 Repliesi have 2 buttons and one large image. this image has about 10 product images inside of the clip.here is the idea...i want to click on the move left or move right button, clicking on the button will move the MC containing the Product Images to the left or right.the thing i am not getting is normally when i move stuff on the X-axis i have more than one button and attach the actions to each button. but i only have two buttons now. one for left and one for right. now i am confused.
