Actionscript 2.0 :: Make Objects Mouse Effectives?
Feb 11, 2009
I want to make some mouse effective objects like if some one touches the mouse pointer to that object then it will go away but after some time will come again at its defined position.In my case I am using a frog which is randomly moving in a pond but when we takes mouse pointer near by it it went far. and after some sec. will come again and takes the position.[URL]I am using a script which is not enough it works to take object far but how to bring that object back in the defined place.
I'm a bit slow when it comes to grasping this whole concept.
I am after a script that allows me to use my mouse and repel objects within the canvas in Flash. For example, if I move my mouse close to a shape, say a circle, the shape would immediately dodge the mouse.
I have proper code to make objects rotate on an axis adjacent to the mouse. I also have proper code on how to make objects elastically bounce towards a specific x,y coordinate.
So far the code I have is for the object to follow the mouse when clicked. when the mouse is up, the objects (on a rotational axis) wind back to original position.
What I would like to do, is combine the formulas for rotation with the elastic formulas to bounce these objects back into place with rotational movement.
need a logia something like to paint some Objects: simply put some MCs. When the Mcs (are out of the Box range) and neat its easy to colour. see the Zip files attached:
Please see: paint_Non_Overlaping_MC_Works.fla paint_Non_Overlaping_MC_Works.swf When the Movie clips are overlapping or one placed above the other MC the objects are hard to paint. It Recognizes the Obeject as One, the Imported png converted to a MC. Please see: paint_Overlaping_MC_Not_Works.fla paint_Overlaping_MC_Not_Works.swf
Is there a possibility to make this work, like to make the MC Highlight on Mouse over and distinguish the objects when Overlapping? That's to say to colour the MCs when overlapping? What initially came to my mind is when mouse over the MC's to highlight so that we can drop the colour on it. In the ZIp file contains all the as2 codes.
I've been reading a lot about the benefits of Object Pooling. Found some "tutorials" online, all above my skill level. Can anyone please show me an extremely simple example of an Object Pool. What my game does is creates Ball objects when the user holds down the mouse, stops when user lifts up mouse. I need to store these Ball objects in an array(or Vector), and hit test them with other objects, removing them from the stage when the hit another object. I'd like to create a pool of say 20 of so, created once, and recycle them.
I have a flash that has a background symbol that responds to CLICK event. On top of that symbol I have a sprite that contains a Bitmap with transparent pixels. Both of them are added to the stage, so they are not related directly.
I want clicks on the transparent pixels on the sprite to go straight through to the background. I have read about mouseEnabled / mouseChildren but have not been able to make these work. The symbol ignores the mouse events when I use them, but does not pass it along as if its transparent.
Is this possible to do with flash? Or will I have to re-route mouse events?
The title pretty much sums up what I am trying to do: I haven't started digging into using script in Flash yet, still being very much a beginner.
I created a simple file using movie clips nested in buttons so that when I mouseover a letter, it bobs up and down, but I can't work out how to make it return to its original "up" state *smoothly* when the mouse is moved away. If it must involve script please be aware I am a total noob!
So I've been working on a little particle generator that produces intractable particles. When you click your mouse, they will move in a straight line away from where you clicked. Seems simple enough, but I can't quite get the formula right.
I want to pass two points and a magnitude scalar value into a function and have it move the particle along the line drawn through the two points, and only as far as the magnitude specifics.
For example: Let's say the particle is at the point P(10,10) and the mouse clicks at the point Q(15,15). I pass both those points and the magnitude 10, into my function.
The function then calculates the angle the particle should travel (45 degrees or PI/4 radians) and sends the particle to the point O(20,20), again, as specified by a magnitude of 10.
This seems like a simple problem, it's used ALL the time, but I just can't seem to work it out.
Side note: By the way, I'm using ActionScript 3.0, but if possible I would prefer a universal explanation in case I decide to program this in another language, or I am without a programming language when I need to figure it out. T
I've seen couple of websites [URL]...in these websites the text & the objects move with the mouse moves. I just wanna know how to move the objects with mouse movement or you can say how to make an object follow the mouse (left-right-up-down)
P.S. In the 2nd website there's a 3d character also which I don't have in my project so there's nothing to worry about 3d in flash. I've just couple of images & text
I have played some more with Flash and come upon something that i would know more about.I tried to make:A scene. when I click the left mouse button on the stage an object(from the librery [graphic]) will be place exactly where the mouse is.I did not really know how to approach this, but tried anyways.
This is my code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, addApple); Function addApple(event:MouseEvent):void{ //I dont know what to put here to place an object(apple) from the libery //onto the stage where the mouse is. };
I'm making a catching game and I only wanted the falling objects hit certain area on my catcher. My catcher is a girl with mouth open and I wanted the falling objects to hit only the mouth, not any other parts of her body like arms. So I made two objects, the full girl and just the mouth. How do I make the two objects (movieclips) move around with the mouse?I tried to embed one object into another but it didn't work....
This is actionscript I wrote so far: package { import flash.display.*;
Basically i want an object to avoid/dodge the mouse. But i want the mc to have a fixed x and y to move back to once the mouse is away. I also don't want it to jump, i want it smooth like a follow mouse effect.
Apparently it's relatively simple in AS3 using a stage mouseevent.MOUSE_OVER listener, but I need an answer in AS2, which doesn't have the mousevent listener. Is the only way to get a list of objects under the mouse cursor, to do a recursive list of every object in the file and do a hitTest to get true/false on each? There must be a simpler way, right? I've seen a bunch of comments on forums that say "use hitTest", but hitTest just returns true or false, and not with the name of an object you hit, so maybe there's a way to use it that I'm not considering?
i got 5 bubbles on my stage and each is moving from the bottom to the top. additional i want to be able to push the bubbles with the cursor.this is working, but only on 1 bubble ...
ActionScript Code: function image_move(e:Event):void { for(var i = 0; i < bubbles.length; i++) {
I have several shapes on the screen implemented as movieclips.I need to allow the user to drug the objects with the mouse as well as to resize them (i.e. to change objects' _xscale and _yscale)To do every one of these tasks (drug, blow up and blow down) separately is a trivial task.

I am working on a Flash photo project where a small image is shown with a square that follows the mouse. Below will be a larger image that moves with the mouse simulating a larger view of what is under the mouse pointer. Though I am making progress with this, I am having problems getting the two pictures to sync up.I am currently using Flash Pro CS5, but have been saving as a CS4 project in case I have to work in it later. I don't know if that makes a different in actionscript 3.0, but I thought I'd include it anyway.I tried to attach my file, but the 300Kb limit stopped me. Here is the code I am using so far though.
How can I make a mouse event ignore, or skip over another object? Say I have a small Sprite on a Large sprite, I want it to act as if the small sprite isn't there, and pass the mouse events directly through to the larger sprite behind it. I've been searching for this for a while and have tried various things but no avail.
I have about 4 or five objects moving around the screen. when I rollover one of the objects, I need all the objects to stop moving... when i move the mouse away from the abject, all objects on the screen need to start moving again.
I'm trying to think of the best way to add event listeners(mouse events) to an invisible object which is quite large. A straight forward way I can think of is probably setting the object's alphy property to 0. However since that object is very large, it will probably have a huge impact in performance. Setting invisible to flash however, will stop it listening to events.
e.g. I have a massive area 4000x4000, but I only want the 2000x2000 area to listen to events.
Other methods I can think of is to have the smaller area in the layer below the big area, covering it from view, though I'm not sure if the lower layer can pick up events? another way is maybe just have the big area listen to events, but in the handler I'll write some code to check if its within the boundary of the smaller area.
I want the diameter of the 'balls' orbit to change dependant on the position of the mouse but keep the point of rotation exactly the middle of the stage at all times.I.e. if the mouse is hovering over the exact center (both X+Y) of the stage then the 'ball' should have a tiny diameter of rotation (but contstantly follows the orbit in clockwise direction) whilst if you move the mouse towards the edge of the stage then the diameter of the orbit of the ball will increase.Here is the AS which controls a blank movieclip;
var sp:Sprite = new Sprite(); orb1.addChild(sp) var g: Graphics =sp.graphics
This is for a personal art project, however I have hit a potential (Actionscript) brick wall! I want the diameter of the 'balls' orbit to change dependant on the position of the mouse but keep the point of rotation exactly the middle of the stage at all times. I.e. if the mouse is hovering over the exact center (both X+Y) of the stage then the 'ball' should have a tiny diameter of rotation (but contstantly follows the orbit in clockwise direction) whilst if you move the mouse towards the edge of the stage then the diameter of the orbit of the ball will increase. Here is the AS which controls a blank movieclip;
is it possible for flash to detect off-stage mouse coordinates in order to continuously drag an object within its bounds while the mouse is moving outside of the stage? for example: i have a draggable red square on my stage. the stage is the bounds of the drag. if i drag the red square to the bottom of the stage and continue to drag outside of and around the stage, i'd like the red square to continue moving within it's bounds, following the mouse coordinates. currently, dragging halts as soon as i leave the stage and the red square only begins to move with the mouse coordinates if i reenter the stage bounds.
How do I take Object_MC and have it attract towards the mouse cursor within 100px and return to it's point of origin when the mouse is 101px + away from the cursor, all while doing an "elastic" like recoil effect, and going from 50% alpha to 100% over that distance to the mouse?
I have been playing about with the "Changing colors with Actionscript" FLA found on this site. Basically, when you move your mouse over a coloured box the movie clip changes to the corresponding color. This is the AS
i have 2 sprites on stage. bottomSprite is added to the display list first, followed by topSprite. topSprite partially covers bottomSprite.i've added an event listener to bottomSprite for MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVED notifications to simply trace the mouseX and mouseY coordinates. however, the notification doesn't work for the parts of bottomSprite that are covered by topSprite.
var bottomSprite:Sprite = new Sprite(); bottomSprite.graphics.beginFill(0x666666, 0.5); bottomSprite.graphics.drawRect(150,150, 150, 150); bottomSprite.graphics.endFill();
If I plan to implement 100 objects on stage to be listen to mouse and keyboard input, is using "function" call responsive enough? How good does eventlistner work?
I want to handle the mouseevents for all the sprites on the stage including the one those are hidden behind (or overlapped or occluded) and the main condition is that I want to handle the occluded sprite (that hidden behind other sprite). example, say I have sprite1 and sprite2 on stage and I want to start drag whenever i click on the sprite and stop drag after another click.
This can be done easily, but the problem and my main requirement is that if I drag the sprite1 and drop it exactly on top of the sprite2 then sprite2 will be hidden behind the sprite1 I wont be able to drag the sprite2 without moving the sprite1 first. if you have played zynga's empires and allais game on facebook, it is handled seperatly, it is how it works in that game, the mouse event is triggered on the sprite behind the overlapping sprite, if you have two sprites overlapping one sprite than the mouse event is triggered on the sprite which is last and not the one in front irrespective of whether there is only one sprite overlapping or two or three and this happens to irregular shaped sprites (not just rectangles)
