ActionScript :: Drag Limit, Backwards?
Sep 12, 2011
I have an application where a user uploads an image and then transforms it by clicking, dragging and using a resize bar. But my client has asked me to limit where the user can drag to, this is not a problem except I need the limits the opposite way around to what would be considered normal.
So where I have startDrag(false, new Rectangle...) that works just fine, but what I need is to let the user be able to drag outside of the boundaries and not have white space on the inside of the flash file.What I mean by this is say I have a 500px wide flash file and an image inside it which I'm carelessly dragging around. If the images right hand edge (if I drag left) hits 500px it stops dragging and does not allow them to pull it any further left.Below is the code I currently have for the drag events.
public function startImageDrag (e:MouseEvent):void {
mousePos['x'] = e.target.mouseX;
mousePos['y'] = e.target.mouseY;[code].....

I have an idea that I want to test out but need some information. Is it possible to limit the way you can drag a sprite with the startDrag()? For instance, say I have a square sprite that I only was to be able to drag vertical or only horizontal.

Im trying to think how i fix this problem. i have a map at the stage and its big, i need to click and move it. But when i get the final of the image, i continue move it and appears the stage.
How i lock the image when it get the final to dont appear the stage? the cod that im using is:
map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, move)
map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, drop)
function drag (e:Mouse Event)
{ e.target.stargDrag();
}

I've used this code to go from one frame to the next
function backframe(event:MouseEvent):void
{
this.prevFrame()
[code]....
Now it works fine until I get to the last frame. Once I get to the last frame then click to go back, it won't let me go forward until I go all the way back to frame 1.

Heres the code for my car to accelerate but how do I make one for reverse when the down key is pressed? I've tried all sorts but it is just not working properly.
ActionScript Code:
//When up key is pressed...
if (keyUpPressed) {
car.y -= ((90-carRotation)/90)*increment;
if (((car.rotation > 90)&&(car.rotation < 180))||((car.rotation < -90)&&(car.rotation > -180))) {
car.x += posNeg * (((((1-(carRotation/360))*360)-180)/90)*increment);

Hello,
I'm trying to create an icons that move fliudly backwards and fowards across a screen and I would like motion forwards and backwards. play(); works great for going forward until stop(); is there a way to do that going backwards on the timeline instead?
P.S. using prevFrame(); is jumpy and doesn't actually "play" each frame. Multiple calls simply make the movie jump to however many previous frames you called at once in your loop so you don't see any motion inbetween.

Problem: I have an flv I would like to play backwards.
Attempt: I have used the code below to play an MC backwards as well as forwards with success in the past. Now I have an flv which I must play backwards and I thought embedding it entirely in an MC would be fine. The code works, but when ti performs the backwards portion, well, it runs very slowly.
Question: Is there a way to play the embedded flv backwards at full speed using the method I tried or do I have to load the flv into the swf at runtime?
if I have to load the flv into the swf at runtime to play it backwards
var rewindMe:Boolean=false;
vid_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, everyFrame);
function everyFrame(event:Event):void {
if (rewindMe==true) {

I've made this as a "prototype", getting used to how the game will move and such, and I've got it moving as I want it, but I can't make it move backwards when I press the back button The whole thing is inside a movie clip, I just want it to play backwards when I press the back button

I'm loading my MC from XML backwards, and its separated by 10 per pages. When it's loaded to the stage it could not be arrange accordingly to grids. And when I click at other pages to let it run another 10 before the previous loaded XML object, it does not add in to the Array(I've clear off the array before reload the XML)[code]my guess on the problem might be the 2 loop which 1 is using ++ and the other -- ?

Trying to get an animation to play backwards while a button is held down, which works fine, however when it gets to the first frame it just stops and won't loop back around to the last frame of the animation- how might one accomplish this? It seems like I need to break the event for a frame somehow and then start listening again...
backward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, setDownTrue);
backward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, setDownFalse);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkDown);
var isDown:Boolean = false;

I'm now using for..in and for each..in almost exclusively with looping Objects. I love it. But how can I loop an Object backwards?
i.e. - with an array I might do something like this:
for (var i:uint = arr.length; i-- > 0; ) {
Queston #2 - I've found the ordering of for...in to be quite predictable but am seeing some blog posting that say otherwise (thats AS2 was extremely predictable but AS3 is not). Which is it?

I worked out that adding a minus to all '360' elements would run the clock backwards but I can't work out how to run the clock really fast....Can anyone shed a bit of light?

I hope someone will know a solution to this problem: I have a movieclip with a tween in it, which moves a object up and down.
I have 2 buttons on my _root: One which had to move the object up till the end of the movieclip when pressed so it will stop after reaching the end of the tween. Or it stops playing when the button is released.
Another one doing exact the oposite, it moves the object down when pressed. And should stop at the beginning of the tween. This button also has to stop when the button is released. The button playing the movieclip backwards doesn't work as it should be. It doesn't reverse the movieclip, it just jumps to a previous frame.

I remember reading one time that you can play frames backwards. I have this ball going along this line, and when it reaches the end I want it to go back exactly the same. Isnt there some kinda code to play the frames backwards? Also, the line is curved, so I cant just move it straight across real easy like. I had to do a lot of tweening.

I mistitled the thread because I thought the problem was with the version of flash player, but when I ran my swf locally everything worked fine, so I now know that it's a problem created by making the swf remote. Perhaps an admin could change it to "bitmapdata.draw() doesn't work remotely" if they read this.[URL] My swf works fine when I run it locally, but not when I run it from my server!? When images from flickr are loaded into my swf on [URL], flash doesn't want to bitmapdata.draw(mc) the mc with the image (for the reflection), but this problem is non-existent locally. Everything is identical, same SWF, same browser.

I created a MC that will play when you rollover a button and play again on rollout. Here comes the problem. If you rollout this MC before the animation comes to stop, it will stop at the stop point and won't continue playing until you rollover again which then looks (and actually is) as a bug.
