Is there a way to lock the mouse X and Y position?, I mean, I want to move my mouse but I want that the mouse position to be locked on.. let say, the center of the screen. Btw, I need to do this using Flash.
View 2 Repliesiam planning to make a flashgame that requires the player to aim with his mouse. so there will be a crosshair. now i have the problem that whenever the mouse leaves the embedded flash stage and clicks outside this frame.. the player has to click in the flash field again to be able to play again. that sucks. is it possible in flash to lock the mouse in the gamewindow?
View 2 RepliesI've done some research and determined that it isn't currently possible to lock the mouse into a flash application/game. People keep suggesting using fullscreen mode, which is great for a single monitor solution. However, I am developing applications that use 2 or more monitors, and require the mouse to be restricted to certain ones. Is it possible, when running flash in full screen mode, to restrict the mouse to staying inside the full screen app, so that it can't move to and click on other monitors?I am using AS3.I am also running these flash applications in Adobe AIR, if that makes any difference.
View 1 RepliesI have a full size page and want a graphic to stay locked to the right so when resizeing the broswer window the right side of the graphic stays on the right and the left side disapears into the left or shows more if the page is resized more, without scaleing the page size. I know how to do this in CSS but not actionscript yet?

View 3 Replieshow to lock the mouse to the center of the drag object but instead of the center of the object moves towards the mouse its the mouse who's going to move towards the center of the object? This
PHP Code:
startDrag(this, true);
locks the mouse to the center but its kind of annoying to see the object jumping specially if the object is big.
Basically the x position of the mouse should control the play position of a movie. Do I need something like an event handler (I'm not sure exactly what these do, but I've seen similar scripts that seem to use them).
View 2 RepliesI have an Input Text area that users can edit and then submit. I need to be able to show, on screen, the cursor's current position as they type. I don't need to know where the mouse is but all work-arounds I've found so far can only tell me the mouse position. The font for the text is 'courier' or 'courier new' and the Input Text area is scrollable.

View 1 RepliesI've had a brief look around but couldn't find anything on this. I'm wondering if it is possible in flash ( I use CS3/AS3) to set the mouse position in the window, mouseX and all that are just read-only. Moving the cursor off the screen can become quite a problem for the game I'm making, so for example I'd like to be able to snap the cursor position to the centre.
View 6 RepliesI am using Action Script 3.0 to animate an instance (MovieClip class) to follow the mouse positron the thing is, the left corner of the instance follows the mouse courser. Now there is a cross on the to left corner and my guess would be that the mouse follows that cross, but i can not change the position of the cross within the instance/ original object. Does anyone know how to make the center of that instance follow the mouse cursor?

View 2 RepliesI have a map application that when I use the mouse wheel the map will scale up or scale down. The next thing I want to do is to focus on the mouse pointer while zooming on the part of the map.
I have this code...
function focusMousePosition(){ onMouseMove = function (){ Stage.width = _root._xmouse; Stage.height = _root._ymouse; updateAfterEvent(); }}
var mouseWheelListener = new Object();var wheelNum:Number;
mouseWheelListener.onMouseWheel = function(wheelNum){ focusMousePosition(); if (wheelNum > 0){ map._xscale *= 0.9; map._yscale *= 0.9; }else{ map._xscale *= 1.1; map._yscale *= 1.1; }}Mouse.addListener(mouseWheelListener);
i have an eye. instance name: "eye1". it follows the mouse around just great using the following code...
Actionscript Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,eyesFollow);function eyesFollow(e:MouseEvent):void var a1 = mouseY - eye1.y; var b1 = mouseX
[code]....
Essentially what I'm trying to do is nearly the same as this: http:[url].......However I'd like to ease/tween the movieclip position and rotation to the mouse position.The main issue I see is trying to get the current movieclip rotation and the target rotation,then tween it cockwise or counterclockwise from current to target.The way a movieclips rotation uses positive and negative numbers throws it off.If you just want to lock the mc rotation to the mouse rotation its fine, but once you try to tween it you run into difficulties. So the end effect would be like if you were to draw imaginary clockwise circles around the object, it should just keep rotating clockwise towards the mouse. Then if you started going counter clockwise it should just keep easing counter clockwise to the mouse.
View 1 RepliesHow would you randomly move the mouse 1px while my FLVPlayback is running and stop moving the mouse when the movie ends?I was thinking of using an eventListener that while playing the flv runs a funtion that updates the mouse x and y randomly. But when the move Completes it removes the moveNouse listener.
my_flv.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, removeMouseMove);
my_flv.addEventListener(Event.PLAYHEADUPDATE, moveMouse);
function moveMouse(){
[code].....
Code:
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL,mouseWheel);
function mouseWheel(event:MouseEvent) {
Map.scaleX = Map.scaleX + event.delta*.01;
Map.scaleY = Map.scaleX;
}
The problem with this code is that it scales from the registration point (0,0). Due to the other transformations I'm doing to this image at various times, it isn't possible to move the registration point. The image is larger than the stage and the user is able to drag it around. I want the mouse wheel to zoom in on the place the mouse is hovering over (or at a minimum...the center of the "view" they have...aka the stage)I tried doing this:
Code:
internalPoint = new Point(Map.mouseX, Map.mouseY);
externalPoint = new Point(stage.mouseX, stage.mouseY);
var matrix:Matrix = Map.transform.matrix;
[code]....
Which, incidentally, I'm using that whole portion of code to zoom into the state they will be in when they use the mouse wheel.
I need to move a movieclip based on mouse x position. Like this site [URL] - Which I built using a flashloaded app, but I need more control in this project so I'd like to code it without the app. Basically, I have an image of a boy (left) and a girl (right) and I want to move the boy slightly toward the girl when the mouse goes right and slightly away when the mouse goes left. But only about 25-50 pixels in each direction.
I've cobbled some code together from google searching and rough ideas, and it works in a way, but the boy jumps about 400 pixels to the left on the initial mouse move and then floats a bit too far right and left from there. Here's what I've got on the boyMC:

I am trying to execute code if the mouse is on a certain position in the stage, but the code should stop as soon as the mouse is pressed and then start again as soon as the mouse is released.Here is my code:

What's the correct way to track mouse position, from Adobe Flash, when someone has: Started a drag within the Flash application (a MOUSE_DOWN event), Dragged the mouse outside the app or even the browser window (a MOUSE_MOVE event), and Released the mouse button (a MOUSE_UP event)? For example (imagine Stack Overflow is a Flash application):
Within the app, I'm able to track the mouse X and Y positions with a MOUSE_MOVE event listener, but I lose it when it goes outside of the browser... So, how do I track the position of the mouse no matter where it goes? For a good example, try Google Finance. Try dragging the chart around; it'll still drag around if you move your mouse out of the browser window, and the mouse will be outside of the browser when you release it.
Also, check out KOKO KAKA; If you click on the scrollbar (make the browser window really small) and move outside of the browser window, the scroll bar moves just like a real one would. I believe both only work because the MOUSE_DOWN event "captures" the mouse, allowing the Flash application to track the position of the mouse even when it is outside of the browser.
I have recently followed a tutorial to make a movieclip in flash that makes buttons spin around a point depending on the mouse position. I have made my own version off this and would like to use it in a full flash website that i am making at the moment.
The only problem that i am having is with aligning this clip and as it is made up of script i cant physicly drag it to were i want it. I understand how to alighn this with x/y positioning but when i preview the flash in a web browser it is positioned correctly but then when i 'full screen' the browser this clip jumps about 4 inches down the page.
I have MC masked with TEXT,when the user moves his mouse down more text appears from the bottom and when he moves it goes bakc to the original position...I do not want the mouse wheel .. I woudl like to do it by mouse hovering...

View 5 Repliesi want to make electronic lock for my flash game (like in sci fi movies).whole game is written in AS2.it should look like this At top thers dynamic text box, under it there are 10 buttons labeled from 0 to 9 and at bottom there is button labeled ENTER.when you press any of the buttons it should write numeric value at dynamic text box( 6 digits code), and when enter is pressed it should check if code is ok.First part of the problem is how to make buttons to write series of numbers into dynamic textbox.Second is to write if loop which will on enter button press check dynamic textbox content and trigger some action if correct or clear textbox and allow another try.
View 4 RepliesIs it possible to lock components when using design mode in flash builder 4.5?
I have created a custom component in catalyst that acts as the background to the application. I need to animate this component in different states, and these are all done in catalyst.
I then imported the flash catalyst project into flash builder as a library. I was then able to drag the component into my application using design mode.
The problem is that this component has been set to stretch to fit the whole application.[code]...
I am looking to lock the over state of a button on a specific frame I have labeled. In other words, I only want the over state to lock on that specfic frame but behave normally on all other frames. Is there a way to do this with actionscript? If not, what is the most efficient way to do what I need to do?

View 5 RepliesI am trying to create a website that will full scale the browser window with all the flash elements inside but I am having trouble deciding what resolution to design in and how to lock certain content to not scale.
I am trying to achieve the effect that will consist of a high resolution image as the background for each section of the website that will full screen. Content such as logo and footer etc should always remain locked. An example of this can be found at http:[url]..... If you shrink the browser window all content stays centralised and the top and bottom footer do not scale, although the central part of the site does change. I was wondering how this effect was achieved? How does some content remain locked and others scale. I really can not figure out what dimension size to design in and achieve the high res image effect for the site. I too will require a top and bottom footer.how that site was published and constructed that would be brilliant.At present I am playing around with the following code:
fscommand("fullscreen",true);
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "C";
I then know the publishing settings should be set at 100 x 100 percent and that when the swf is imported to the html to write the following style tag:
<style>
body {margin;0px:padding;0px}
</style>
The closest I have come to is the basic mouse hide and then mouse show, however this only gives the illusion of the cursor not being there, however you can still use it. I would like the cursor to be 'disabled' within the flash movie for a limited time. Either by it disapearing and then reappearing, or by it being frozen in place
