As of Flash 10.2, Flash supports hardware accelerated mouse cursors:[URL]..Unfortunately, the mouse cursor doesn't update until AFTER the mouse moves. You can see this behavior on the web page above. If you click "Set to custom cursor" in the sample app at the bottom of the article, you'll see that the cursor doesn't change until you move the mouse.
Anyone have a trick for updating the mouse cursor immediately, before the user moves the mouse? I tried doing Mouse.hide(); Mouse.show(); but that doesn't work.
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.
Trying to create a banner ad as a one-off project for a client. I am using Flash Builder / AS 3 and with my simple hello world example. Google Adwords rejects the add with: Encountered flash error - ad cannot use mouse tracking.
I Have not been able to figure out what I am doing that signals to Adwords that I am mouse tracking. Follows is my simple mxml file: (the handleClick is to adhear to their clickTAG specification)[code]...
I am constructing a navigation that uses mouse-tracking. I'd like for the object (the gray rectangle) to disappear when the mouse moves off of it.
I have the following actionscript on the movie clip:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.xChange = Math.round(_root._xmouse-this._x);
_root.xMove = Math.round(_root.xChange/5);
this._x += _root.xMove;
}
If you look at my reference, I'd like the gray arrowed-rectangle to only appear when the mouse is inside the lighter gray rectangle (the navigation bar). When a user mouses outside of that area, the gray arrowed-rectangle will disappear.Perhaps we have to set an area where the mouse will load the movie clip and an area that will unload the movie clip?
I've been reading through all the various threads related to the drawing API and saving drawings. About a hundred times I've seen mention of "log mouse positions into an array" and stuff like that, but I can't find any clear and simple examples of how to do this. Let's take a very simple use of the drawing object to do freeform drawing. What is the AS to capture the mouse XYs as the user draws and put that into an array. I can't figure out how to get Flash to keep updating things as I go, it invariably grabs the fist point and that's it.
Let's use the most basic drawing example I can find:
[AS]_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line",1);
_root.onMouseDown = function(){
line.moveTo(_xmouse,_ymouse);
line.lineStyle(0,0x000000,100);
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
line.lineTo(_xmouse,_ymouse);
}}
_root.onMouseUp = function(){
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}[/AS]
Where/what gets added to just capture all those _xmouse and _ymouse?
How 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(){

Can you pliz help me with a script to make this effect? the 3D text effect that follows with the mouse.URL...i got a script that tracks the mouse till the end of the screen but i needed something like this that only tracks it slightly. i'm only a beginner in flash.

I am deploying Updates via SCUP and SCCM to hundreds of Computers. Fortunately Adobe provides an SCCM Update Catalog for both Adobe Flash ActiveX and Adobe Flash Plugin. But now my Problem: After publishing the Update via SCCM, the client is not supposed to be interfered with the Update Progress (which is working) I figured the Updater works like this: First SCCM checks if a Update needs to be deployed, if this is the case, The Flash Updater begins. First the old Flash Version is beeing uninstalled. But now: if the Client has a Browser Window (IE, or Firefox) open, the Updater is not able to install the new Flash Version and quits with an Error. This leaves the Client PC without any Flash (because its being uninstalled before) How can I prevent Flash being uninstalled due to the Update progress not working while a Browser window is open?
View 1 RepliesI have a large set of movie clips of countries, now I want to add mouse event to them, but I don't want to go in each and every mc and add for insyance a on (press). I've used a forloop to edit the color, but not quite sure how to do it to trigger a mouse event.
As I'm in the middle of developing, things might change (how I want the mouse event to react) so I would rather update the mc's with a mouse event that triggers one function so I only need to edit that to control the behavior of those country mc's.
I'm working on someone's Flash project and my task is to add roll over text to all the buttons in the project. The problem is I can't use the actual buttons because the are underneath some other animation. What I want to do is to add roll over text using the coordinates of the button but not the actual button.

Im working with a flex application that pulls data from a java class file using message handler event. The received message string is added to ArrayCollection. The string consists of codeID and other values related to codeID. Had displayed the detail in a datagrid. The codeID is randomly generated and is pushed to flex for every second. Now, the problem is, I needa update the datagrid cell values, for instance, if i have pushed codeID's of (0001,0007,0005,0003) to the front end, that displays the corresponding values of each codeID in the datagrid, second instance of (0001) should update records in the existing row of (0001). I tried to check the existence of codeID in ArrayCollection using search algorithm, but dont know how to proceed further.

View 1 RepliesBasically I want to have something pop-up, and stay up on when the mouse moves to a side of the swf, but it re-animates the pop-up motion when the mouse is moved even after it is on one side. Here is the script I wrote for it: (left_motion is the mc that has the animation.)
onMouseMove = function() {
if (_xmouse <= 300) {
left_motion.gotoAndPlay("up");
trace("mouse is on the left");
[code].....
So what I'm wondering is, how do I have the pop-up animation happen only when the mouse has changed from the right to the left, and vice versa (sides determined by the x position of the mouse).
i have some dynamic text inside a moive clip which is supposed to hold the users' mouse x/y.my code is
_root.findx = _root._xmouse;
_root.findy = _root._ymouse;
my problem is how can i make the clip update itself so that everytime the mouse moves the code will change?
i feel bad abt posting this question, but idk what the problem is.
I'm having a problem with a button that should change the mouse pointer to an arrow when clicking it and, after while, turn it back to a hand cursor. I use the Button.useHandCursor method to acheive this. This works fine in the Flash IDE, but when testing in a browser, the mouse pointer won't change back to the hand unless i move the mouse. I've tried a LOT of stuff, including updateAfterEvent without any success.

Which is currently very glitchy it will not look at the mouse directly instead it will just continuosly rotate trying to find it, is there any way to fix this? The game... I have tried several different methods... Is it because it does not know how to face the mouse and what part of him to use to face it, if so how can i fix it?
I have a 700px heigh movie, which makes the browser scrollbar appear on most resolutions. If I focus on the html part the mouse wheel works fine; however if I bring the focus to the flash movie (simply clicking on it) it doesn't work anymore! This started to happen when I added the numericStepper component to the stage even if the focus is not on it.
else I'm going to get my hears pulled by the flash-accessibility-sucks people.

I have this flash application that opens a socket connection with a server. What I need to do is to read packets sent and received byt he application to write a sort of "history" ( in WIndows). Now, questions are: How is the simplest way to do it? Application hooking? Load the flash application in my application and take control over it? No packet sniffing allowed. Is it possible to do it in C++, or you think it's better to use another programming language? My first choice was java, but it seems that do it is troublesome...
View 2 RepliesThere are cases where shipping javascript code with your flash video is not an option. One of these cases is when you've bought space on a website to place your ad banner. In those cases I want to use the 1x1 pixel image tracking method on Google Analytics or Yahoo Web Analytics to track the amount of views on my banner.I have heard that flash blocks any attempt to load data from a third party host (frankly I don't see why they would do that) which presents a problem. I would love a solution.I can picture several methods and their downsides.I could host the banner on my own server, counting the downloads. Unfortunately this would prove to be a tremendous load on my server when possibly millions of downloads would happen per day.
I could write a PHP script, hosting it on my own server, that when requested tracks a page view in GA or YWA. I could place a crossdomain.xml file on my server allowing the flash banner to request my script using a Loader. Unfortunately, the problem of server load still exists as my private server probably can't handle millions of requests per day.Possible solutions are other tracking hosts that allow for flash cross domain file requests, or perhaps a method I haven't thought of.The challenge here is to be able to track the number of views on a flash video without using any javascript. The problem is the sheer amount of load this would put on my own servers if I were to track using my server as a proxy. The best solution would be a tracking service using crossdomain.xml

View 9 RepliesTracking software requires that you insert their code into the page you want to track (I'm using StatCounter). I installed a Flash website template and it just has one .html file where I can insert the code. That tracks visits to the first page with no problem but if a visitor clicks on different pages of the site, it doesn't get tracked. Does anyone know how and where to add code so that each page of the Flash site can be tracked?
Note, in my template a part of each page is found in different symbols. For example, the first column of every page is located in a symbol called PAGES1 and the second column of every page is located in a symbol called PAGES2, and the third column located in PAGES3. Different layers within each symbol correspond to the different pages. So I'm at a loss of how I could get this tracking code to be able to track each page visit, since each page shares a symbol with another page.
