I've a movie clip of a circlular i've imported as a png then changed to a movie clip. i have a hit test to check if something is in contact with the circular object. The hit test works but it works on the square bounding box around the object. do i need to create a hit area to have it work only on the circular object.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to set a clip area for a movie clip or sprite so that it will not draw out of that particular area? I am using a drop shadow, and it doesn't look right if the shadow passes a certain boundary, so I wanted to find a way to force it not to draw out of a particular area.
View 1 RepliesI've created a widget that that, on roll over, starts an animation and allows the user to jump to a url on clicking the widget. It all works well, except that the whole stage area (209x204 pixels) is sensitive to the roll, and I want to somehow make a specific target area start the animation on roll over.
I've tried putting it into another button and adding a hit state to the button, which did create the specific area I was aiming for, but prevented the movie from playing, creating a weird 'stutter' of the cursor.
I wanna to restrict some area in a movie of dragging a movie clip. eg . if there's a square (or a mazed shaped area) in the movie. a movie clip cannot entered inside the square while dragging. but it can be dragged rest of the space.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to create an application for students to visualize their course schedules.I have rectangles representing each class, which students can drag and drop to build their schedule.I would like the students to be able to type in the course number and name before adding it to the schedule.I have the drag-and-drop working, and editable text working. owever, when I try to edit the text, it drags the box as well.Therefore, I would like to be able to limit the "drag" functionality to one corner of the rectangle.So the user would have to click that part in order to drag the movie clip. Please see the attached image to get a better idea of what I'm talking about.
View 5 RepliesI'm getting no errors on this, Go (comeback) is my movie clip which should turn up when the mouse leaves the stage area and leave when the mouse enters the stage. I know it's probably my removeChild command but I don't know how to fix it.

how to imitate a reflection of a movie clip in a "mirror." I don't know if I should have the initial movie clip on custom cursor or have it set to drag... but either way I don't know how to make the second clip the "reflection follow along. Obviously it would need to follow at a slightly offset pattern so that you would be able to see both clips (or majority of them) at the same time. It's for a school project that is due at 9am tomorrow so time is of the essence!!
View 4 RepliesBy the way i want to make a visualization about a math process to show partial function graph.
I think i can make a scene which in 1000x1000 pixels. I'll start from top of scene and when i press a button i'll move camera to second section which i want to do sketch. I want to make a sketchpad which can draw in a 2 part movieclip. First part is -X section of XY Axis Graph. Second part is +X section of XY Axis Graph. I'll put image of XY Axis Graph to -X and +X section of XY Axis Graph. So it'll be seem like one part. And i'll draw to -X section. After that i'll skip to second sketchpad with camera. And i'll make same thing. But for now i'll draw to +X. And when i press conclusion button camera will skip to bottom of scene and move -X of figure1 and +X of figure2 to bottom. So i can see figure1's -X section and figure2's +X section as merged in bottom. So it'll show to me partial function graph.
But problem is sketchpad is drawing to _root. So i'm unable to move sketch or shapes on XY Axis Graph. But if i can draw that to movie clip i can move it like an object with drawing and merge it like i want.
So i want to make a sketchpad which make drawing in limits of movieclip.
how i can do it ? Also i'm using following code:
Code:
import mx.controls.Loader;
// 1. SETTING THINGS
// ----------------
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line",1);

I have created a movie clip consisting of about 27 dots named 'timer', I double clicked on 'timer' and animated it (making one dot disspaer every 15 seconds). My problem is that at the end of this animation I want it to go back and play a frame on the outside scene.
i.e. from the 'timer' editing scene (the one you get to when you double click) I want it to gotoAndPlay (103, "Game") - The scene the movie cliip is in.
I keep getting an error saying that it cannot locate Scene Game.
I've jumped in head first into Actionscript and I'm working my way through Adobe's Classroom in a Book for AS3. I've just completed chapter 4 and am currently trying to solve the "try on your own" problems at the end of the chapter.

I've got the actual calculator part working fine, but depending on the number I want to display product recommendations. I thought the best way to do this would be to create movie clips with the products and use the addChild function to create new one.

it looks like with the createEmptyMovieClip, u need to pass to it an instance name of an already existing movie which has been created manually and put in the library.I dont want to create an instance of a movie clip in the library. i want to create a movie clip in actionscript that does not already exist in the library.

View 8 RepliesI have a movie clip 'sliderMc' which contains two other clips 'slider' and 'groove'. I've used actionscript to make the 'slider' clip move along the 'groove' and display the value of the at each point in a text field. The idea is to have a slider object that i can use multiple times. I want a situation whereby I can create instances of 'sliderMc' so that I'll be able to move the slider on the individual clips and have each slider update different variables which would then be sent to an XML file or php. Im able tp talk back and forth between php and xml with no problem; The issue I'm facing is that after creating multiple instances of 'sliderMc', I'm not able to give the 'slider' and 'groove' movie clips different instance names without changing the instance names of all other 'slider' and 'groove' instances of 'sliderMc'. Which in turn makes it difficult to distinguish between the different sliders in actionscript.

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:

Is it possible to specify the viewable area of a movie clip?
for example, lets say I have a Movie Clip whos area is 500 x 500
But I want to only be able to view it through a 100x100 "window".
So the size aspect of the movie clip stays the same. And the only area that you can see is through the 100x100 window.
Also, i want the "window" to be stationary, and have the movie clip pan around behind it.
I've done some basic flash for my college course and i'm moving onto advanced flash and Actionscript. For this, i'm trying to build a "construction game".
What I have is objects on the right side, and I want to be able to drag out copies of those objects onto the left and have the size and rotation of each object adjustable...
So say click and drag on a circle, it puts a copy of the circle where I place it on the left. I can then drag that circle around, scale it or rotate it, or if I decide I don't want it at all, drag it onto a recycle bin icon and have it removed.
I'd like to be able to make as many copies of that circle as allowed (so maybe a limit of 10?), and have each one adjustable when you "select" it...
