Actionscript 3.0 :: Change A Movie Clip Position?
Aug 24, 2009
I am creating a flash presentation for school. I am unable to solve this problem, that keeps on pestering me.The problem is:I am trying to create a touch screen calibration movie clip. The only problem i keep running into is, when i click the calibration touch screen cross, what is the script that allows the change in position of the cross after it has been clicked on?Example:The original cross is orientated on the top left of the screen, after it has been clicked i need it to move to the top right of the screen, then clicked again - bottom right, and again bottom left and finally clicked again to be displayed in the centre

i have a dynamic text field that loads a variable into it (just a simple text file). this text file will be updated on occasion. i also have a movie clip to be positioned below the text field, however i want the movie clip to change position depending on how much text is in the text field so there isnt a large gap and so they dont overlap. is this possible? i tried the following actionscript to adjust the size of the text field depending on the amount of text. textField2.autosize = "center"; however i have no idea how to get the y position of the movie clip to adjust accordingly.

I have several movie clips on the stage. They are draggable. I want to be able to drag the movie clip, then when it is dropped, a copy of that movie clip will appear where the first one had been, and the first one will just stay where it is on the screen.
However, I'm running into problems with the syntax.
Here is my current code:

I am trying to get the position of a movie clip called "Shooter", returned to a variable called spitballYpos.
The movie clip is sitting on frame 6 (labelled "Shooting") of a movie clip called PDFstanding.
The position returns perfectly if I place the .shooter MC on the first frame of PDFstanding, but on frame 6 the variable result just returns "undefined".
What have I missed? If I need to reference the particular frame the 'shooter' movie clip is on, then what is the correct syntax?
Here's my code...
Actionscript Code:
spitballYpos = _root.PDFstanding.shooter._y;

Is there a way to test the _y of all movie clips and set a function that if there is a movie clip at _y = 75 that it is 'topMovie' and if another clip is at (topMovie + topMovie._height) THAT movie will be 'secondMovie' and so on ad infinitum?

how would i go about using a draw code(Code that allows users to draw within the flash) and restricting it to a certain size and location on the movie? for instance a 75x75 box located at xPos=200 and yPos = 150?
Like would I have to use a blank movie clip for the position? then make an invisible box within it to restrict drawing area?

I made two movie clips that follows the mouse but I want to put constraints on them, they should follow the mouse until the mouse reaches a certain distance and then the movie clip should pop back to its original x and y position.
Code:
private function init():void
{
addChild(backgrnd);

Is there a way to position something INSIDE of a movie clip, based on X and Y values of the root stage?
Basically the X and Y of the container movie clip is at Stage.width/2; but I want one specific movie clip inside to stay permanently at 200X and 200Y on the MAIN STAGE. I can't actually move it to the root timeline though because it is using actionscript inside of the container.

I need to jump the movie clip position back and forth between two positions on the stage--without tweening--via a mouse click on a button. I have no problem doing this by creating a 2-keyframe timeline, and re-positioning the movie clip for each frame. To move back and forth from frame 1 to 2 and back to 1 on the main timeline, I wrote a gotoAndStop action for the button, (labeled flipflop.) In frame 1 of the main timeline:
flipflop.onMouseDown = function() {
gotoAndStop(2);
};
In frame 2 of the main timeline:
flipflop.onMouseDown = function() {
gotoAndStop(1);
};
The problem is, when the movie clip jumps from position A to position B on the stage, the movie clip resets to frame 1. I need the movie clip to hold its current frame as it changes position from frame 1 to 2 and back to 1. How do I do this, and would the method be the same if the single button controlled the movement of multiple movie clips?

Im learning actionscript using the tutorials here so im more interested in learning *how* rather than just getting it done.
Ive come across a problem on something ive been trying to do. Ive been trying to make a 10 framed movieclip appear at the mouse position and play continuously. To do this I have a two framed loop.
Here is my code. Circle_mc is the movie clip:

//this is the name of my function and what it has in it.
CreateAtMouse = function () {
Circle_mc.duplicateMovieClip("circlecreate", 2, {_x: _root._xmouse, _y:

I want the movie clip to be at the bottom right corner or the stage at all times when the browser is resized. The name is the clip is bottom right piece. The flash movie takes up the whole browser with no scale. The movie clip is always over or under the point in space its suppose to be. When i trace the value or the movie clip's _x... its the same as the Stage.width... but it doesnt portray that visually on the stage...

I have created an animation which has frames with the head drawn in the various positions it needs to be in to look in all directions. Each frame is unique as it shows the head look up down sideways etc.What I need to do now is to make the movie clip play certain frames depending on the mouse position.I am having some trouble with the logic of how to do thisIs the best way to detect the mouse position then tell the movie clip to gotoandstop a certain frame depending on the mouse position?

I realize that title sounds a little confusing, but what I am trying to do is copy this style of site[url].... I have created all of the swf's for the main index of the site, but am way out of my league on how to load them into a certain position in a single movie clip so that a drag bar can slide the movie clip left and right. I have read a few posts on external loading, but am not really sure on how to implement them to achieve this look.

I'm creating a slideshow gallery in flash and am basically there now except for one bit...
have a look here [URL]
The slider at the bottom for the thumbnails moves ok but I want it to stop at the last slide. I
I can manage to code it based on the mc's _x value
i.e if (mc._x < -200){ //do nothing }
but this creates a dead stop and I want a gently slow down like if you were to navigate from thumb 8 back to 1.
all of my coding at the moment uses the mc's x value in relation to the mouse's distance.
The code I have currently set on the slider is:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if((_root.slidesQTY>6)&&(_root._ymouse>460)){
if(this._x<0){
[Code]....
how I could add another if statement that doesn't halt the animation as it hits the last slide but creates a smooth slow down?

I've got an image gallery which fades in one image over another in a created movie clip using the following:
stop();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("containerMC1_mc",2);
this.createEmptyMovieClip("containerMC2_mc", 1);
//
But say the images I'm using are 323px high but they need to appear 230px down from the top of a swf which is 540px high.
