Actionscript 3.0 :: Keep Track Of Which Thumbnail Mouse Is Over?
Jan 14, 2009
In summary, I have an image scroller that loads a series of thumbnails defined in an XML file. All of the image load and begin scrolling. When I rollover the scroller, the scrolling stops then resumes again when I roll out.My problem: In addition to a mouseover pausing the scroller, I would like to be able to load text from another XML node based on which thumbnail the mouse is currently over.My question: How do I keep track of which thumbnail the mouse is over? Do I need to create an additional array to keep track of the thumbs or is there a simpler way to do this?

like photoshop cs3 has, flash cs4 also... and probably some others...
a textfield which acts like a button and when you press and hold down the mouse and move up or right the value increases and when you move down or left value decreases.
how to do this the most efficiently... on a mouse_down how would I track where the mouse is moving and how much it has moved in what direction so i can ajust the value in the textfield?

I always come here and scour the tutorials and forums for help when I need it- but this is the first time I've not been able to find what I need or in the form that I want - anywhere it seems! The site that I am working on consists of one main element, from which the user can open frames containing information. As you can imagine this is pretty one dimensional- so I'm looking to add some depth to this site. Now the point- I really enjoy the effect demonstrated on the website for Pretty Lights music.
The effect I'm referring to is having background elements slightly follow the mouse - and they track in different strengths (creating a nice feeling of depth). I don't plan on my own being as complex- the idea I had was simply having some "dust" looking specks in front of and behind my main content, and having it all track slightly with the mouse as the user navigates the site.

I have a small box in my flash movie, which should move vertically, when the mouse moves vertically. It should basically track the Y coordinates from the mouse. Also it should track even when the mouse isn't over the box.

I know we can track when the mouse has left the stage area in AS3.
But, can it reset a button that would have stayed in its "on" state?
My swf will be embedded in a web page, there are 24 buttons all around its border, and as soon as the mouse leaves the stage, they stay "on", so I want to reset them to the initial state.

I am trying to track mouse location on the stage in a swf file with Action script. I found properties that appear to have x and y location, stageX and stageY as well as localX and localY. But I am getting compiler errors to the effect of attempt to access possibly undefined property: as follows: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property stageX through a reference with static type Class.

I was wondering if there was a way using actionscript to set a larger target area for the mouse_over even, i.e. if the mouse is not necessarily over an object, but is maybe 20 px away from it could i trigger a mouse_over event?My other idea would be to create a movie clip that follows the mouse everywhere but to be honest Im not too sure about this. I don't know how to track the coordinates of the mouse.

I have a container Canvas named "cnvList" which contains another component horizontal list "hlist". When i hover the mouse over "cnvList", it should display the current mouse position relative to the container cnvList. I have used cnvList.contentMouseX for this. But it should repeatedly track the mouse position repeatedly even when the mouse is not movedk. Can anyone suggest me with code how it can be done?

i want to make my thumbnails move opposite of where the mouse is.so for example, if i move the mouse up the thumbnail moves down, if i move the mouse left, the thumbnail goes right etc...im trying to google this but i dont even know what its called so im not getting good results, or rather TOO many varied results lol. i was told on another forum that its called parallax menu or something like that but when i research it, i get millions of pages refering to this type of effect (they have other that move vert/horiz too)

I am building a gallery which scroll the thumbs according to mouse position. It all works but I try to tell the scrolling to stop with the last thumb on each side, and there I am stuck. I attach the scroll function. The inner if statement is meant to stop the scrolling at a certain point (the 800 is just a number I try, I need to make it more flexible). It works when the mouse move to the right but does not work when it moves to the left.

heres the as2 code:
root.onEnterFrame = function
if(_root._xmouse<50){
instanceName.prevFrame();

I have made a image-viewer. I've this AS for the viewer:
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
function loadXML(loaded) {[code].....
Now i would like to make a loop for the thumbnails so they don't have a beginning or end(Now when i scroll to the right the thumbnails stop at the last thumbnail, i want it to begin at the first thumb again).I'm also trying to make that the middle thumbnail represents the photo in target_mc.

I am making a gallery, which you can view here:[URL]ok, firstly, when you click a thumbnail, you cannot scroll them until you roll off the click thumbnail, and I'm not sure why. is it just a movieclip thing? or can I put some code in to re-get focus of something? ok, now for the two general questions:
1. When you roll over the thumbs, they go up, sometimes they flick back down though, even though you are rolled over them still. is this just because they are moving?
2. Does anyone know why when I add this:

Im trying to create via xml and a for() loop a thumbnails wiewer and each thumbnail have a simple onrelease function.....but my probleme is that my 'container' movieClip and 'BT' movieClip dont show when I export the movie...also when i trace()them the output is empty. maybe is because they are inside x.onLoad(xml){} function ? At the end of the script you can remove // before the trace() function for ckecking in the output panel. here is my code:
xml file: TumbLoader.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><slideshow><photos thumbnail="thumbnail/1.jpg" /><photos thumbnail="thumbnail/2.jpg" /><photos thumbnail="thumbnail/3.jpg" /><photos[code]...

Yes, I'm making a photo gallery like everyone else. I'm making it so people can order pics from the site. There are going to be about 500 photos per album in 5 different categories. The photos can be shrunk down to about 60kb a piece. If I use the actual pictures as thumbnails, just scaled down, the total size of all the pics will be about 30mb. I know this is a lot.
Either way, the people looking at the album will most likely look at nearly all the pics so they will be using up bandwidth either way. Plus, if I use the actual pics as thumbs the user will not have to wait to see actual pic when it's clicked on because it's already loaded. A preloader is annoying to me. I do realize a preloader would be wise when loading the thumbs. Just dislike them after you click one for the big picture.
So is using shrunken thumbs a necessity or if the big pic is under a certain size it shouldn't matter if I use it for a thumb also?

The buttons on the page cause a jump to the individual movies (the web pages) which are on one layer concurrently. What I have right now works and now I want to add audio. The intent is to have a song start when the viewer connects to the website and will have controls to stop it if they wish. I added a layer that contains the audio which works OK but clicking the Home button causes the audio to play again resulting more than one audio track. I was able to fix that by starting the Home movie one frame later than the audio but I don't really think this is the right approach. Is the method I'm using for the audio correct (see screenshot) or is there a better way to do it? I need to control the audio independently with affecting the other layers. The music track will be in the Sound layer. I had to remove it because the song hasn't been released yet.The attached FLA is saved in CS3 but I am working in CS4.

Does anyone know of a way to track the load time of an XML document? I have an xml document that has over 150,000 lines and it takes a little time to load. I am ok with the load time in general however I would like to create a preloader to tack its process.
I have tried putting the xml load/onLoad code in a movie clip and use getBytesTotal and getBytesLoaded to track the mc progress but it seems as though when that mc is loaded the application freezes until the xml is fully loaded.

I'm trying to make a "next track" button. "T" is meant to be track number, and every time they click this button, I wanted "T" to increase by one until T>4 where I need it to go back to T=1 (I've only got 4 tracks). Then, I want, depending on what "T" equals, for it to start playing Track"T" and stop playing previous track. I also want the track playing to be looping continuously. At the moment, everything is muted, until I press the button; where it then plays all four tracks at once. I also have a problem with the mute button, but I've got a strong feeling both are of the same reason. I think my problem is that it does not know what "T" equals to begin with so it accepts all if statements; playing all tracks. But I'm new to Flash (my second project) so I'm not sure.
on (release){
stopAllSounds();
T =T+1
if (T>4){
T=1
} if (T = 1){
_root.snd1.start(0, 100);

has anyone seen a handy component or code to monitor playback of your flv to see if flash is dropping frames.It would be nice to see total frames dropped, and maybe average frames dropped per second.In a perfect world it would be a graph over time.
