Actionscript 3.0 :: Maximum Clickable Area?
Jun 3, 2009
I have a movieClip with instance name "rulesScrollbar", that has a width of 9.1px, and a height of 729.6px.Along with it, I have the
code:
Code: Select allrulesScrollbar.buttonMode = true;
rulesScrollbar.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, scrollbarClicked);
function scrollbarClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {[code]......
But when running the movie, only the first 600 vertical pixels (approximately) are clickable! Does flash have a limitation of which I am not aware that would cause this? There isn't any masking going on, so I'm not sure why only part of the movieClip would be clickable.

I have two identical instances of the same movieclip (except for text within a text field in the clips). I add a mouse event listener to both clips. The clip on the left has a clickable area, but it is much smaller than the visible area of the clip on the screen. The clip on the right has no clickable area at all. I would post code to assist in diagnosis, but I don't know where to begin with the code since everything looks kosher. My first intuition was that the clickable area of the left clip is one of the images in that clip that is under the top image (lower on the display list, and higher z value). However, that would not explain the lack of a clickable area in the right clip.

I am trying to make a brain anatomy game in flash CS3 and I am having some difficulty getting the buttons to respect certain proportions. Allow me to elaborate.

And then I bring it into photoshop and make a different layer for each different structure (in the screenshot I only did it for one structure but you get the point)
[URL]
Now what I would like to do is import my .psd file into flash and make every layer a different button. But I don't know of a way to view layers of a .psd file in flash. But here's the bigger problem. As you can see, it makes the "clickable" area for the button a rectangle shape.
[URL]
Whereas I would like for it to be the shape of the specific structure. If the clickable area is a rectangle then there is an overlap onto other structures which is not at all ideal. Especially when I get into smaller structures. What I want is for the button to be exactly like the layer in photoshop.

I know this is basic, but I lack the terms to use to search for the solution. I can do some advanced stuff in Flash, but when it comes to basics like this, I'm at a loss.
I'm trying to have two movieclips call the same function but pass to it a different argument to then process accordingly. What I've learned is that even though the MCs are small rectangles on the stage, their clickable area seems to span the entire stage. In this code example, when I click on one MC, the trace gives me both 1 and 2, as if both MCs had been clicked. What am I missing? Attached is the stripped-down FLA.

I am making a website and am new to Flash and AS3. My site consists of 5 movieclip buttons. The buttons are programmed to move left or right depending on which button is open currently. I recently added a function that removes the eventListeners of these buttons so that you cannot click them while the tweens are happening (I was having major tween issues: stopped tweens etc) and then adds the listeners back when the tweens are done. However, after clicking through the site for a little while the active, clickable area of the button changes! I have no clue why this would be happening.

This was not an issue before I created the function that removes the listeners so I assume that is the problem, but have no clue as to why. I am attaching the code for the tween functions for moveLeft and moveRight, the remove listeners function, and one button function.

I have a movie clip I am using as a button. It is an irregularly-shaped bitmap from a PS layer.
I don't want the whole bounding box to be "hot", just where there are actual pixels in the bitmap, and have clicks on transparent areas be ignores or pass through to underlying objects that may be clickable.
So far, my Document Class is:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;

i have a drop down menu am working on and each button tab (although they are not button instances !) when clicked opens up the "drop down" section which you can mouse over to choose another specific button etc - if you mouse out of that drop down area then it pulls back up to the original tab state .. what do i change to the code below to decrease the area that you mouse out of to make the drop down area pull back .....at the moment it at least two inches on the screen below and to the right of boundaries of the drop down box before it pulls up - i want to it pull up as the mouse leaves the boundary box .... hope this makes sense .... there is some part of the actionscipt below that controls this but can work out which bit and how to change it !!! (am guessing the x mouse and y mouse bits - but how to change it ???)

I have this function:
public static function cloneDpObj(target:DisplayObject):Bitmap
{
var duplicate:Bitmap;
[code]....
to clone target displayObject (MovieClip or Sprite) and return Bitmap Object.
It can get bitmap from the target object, but it seem don't get all the area of the image.
By give the width and height of target object, but the target object in design was applied by Glow Effect, so my question can we get the all view of bitmapdata from a displayobject?

I have a movie clip named circle_mc(see the image on the link below) and a mask object(movie clip) which determines visible area of the circle. User can change the portion which is visible (extend the red area and make it red+blue, gray area is invisible). I need to find proportion of visible area to invisible area (red+blue/gray) so that I can calculate angle.

I would like to first add the xml to my flash. Fine I can do this.But I have a number of buttons, where when I click say CW1, i get the information from the XML file with a node of CW1. I have all the xml set up fine.As I have about eight different postcode types.
ST, CW, CH, TF, WV, WS, DE, SK, SY, and each of these may have numbers that follow, i.e ST1, ST2, ST3 and so forth.
So I can only assume that the postal area could be the main nodes, and the numbers inside the child nodes, am I right thus far.o how can i load the area of the xml file into my text area on mouse click, pulling the information relating.
