IDE :: How To Know Mouse Is Intersecting A MovieClip

Oct 13, 2009

i am adding enterframe event listener on the condition that mouse is not on the stage.

if (!((mouseX < stage.stageWidth) && (mouseY < stage.StageHeight))) {
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);
}

but the if condition always return false because the mouseX and mouseY seems to take the last value when it leaves the stage(i.e. moved out of the flash content

ActionScript 3.0 :: Hide Intersecting Region Of MovieClip

Oct 27, 2011

So I've been working on a Character class for platformer/ generic side-view style games. The problem is that i might need bits of characters to appear to go through other characters (i.e. char 1 grabs char 2 and runs char 2 through with weapon) the problem with this is that the characters' parts are contained in movieclips to run code on them holding them together and keeping me from having to position them just perfectly every frame in the IDE. it seems I have four choices:

1) Completely reprogram the display list -not practical

2) just hide the area of the movieclip that is intersecting with the other character

3) break apart the characters and merge them into an "interaction manager" movieclip

4) just give up.

I don't have the skills for option 1. Option 3 is ok i guess, but i'd rather try option 2 first. My biggest problem is that i have no idea how i would go about selecting just the intersecting part of the movieclip without reprogramming some part of the display list. If anyone can understand this, please give me something to point me in a direction.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Intersecting Text And Image

Feb 2, 2009

I am trying to put an text on an image (both have the same color) and the intersection should be white. It works fine with blend mode "invert" when both are black. But as soon as they have another color all the blend modes give an unwanted color in the intersection. My idea would be to blend the two black objects first and then set the color for the combined image,

Flash :: Draw Two Intersecting Circle Holes In Graphics?

Oct 25, 2011

I need draw rectangle with two circle holes inside. The problem is in circles interception. I want them to join together and cut from background, but they seems to be XORed:

At first I tried drawRect and DrawCircle:

graphics.beginFill(0, 0.5);
graphics.drawRect(0, 0, width, height);
graphics.drawCircle(width/2, height/2, 50);

[Code].....

here getCirclePath returns object with points to draw polygon which looks like circle. Also I tried different combinations of GraphicsPathWinding constants, but no luck.

how to draw two intersecting circle holes in graphics?

Actionscript 3 :: Move Movieclip Position Opposite Of Mouse Coords On Other Movieclip

Jan 26, 2011

Okay I have a script in which I have added an image to the stage. It is absolute centered. I then have another with is on top but much bigger. I would like the big image to move opposite of my mouse position on the smaller image. ie: cursor is on bottom left corner the bottom left corner of the larger image is in the same spot. And the same thing for any other area.

I have tried many different ways but to no avail. I have done research but no one has been able to give me a solid answer. Anyone know of a way to accomplish this. Keep in mind this it needs to work regardless of the image size.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Rotating A Movieclip Using The Mouse?

I have been trying to convert this effect into AS3 but have been having majour issues : rotate clip

I have an object (class) with a handle, when dragged I would like the clip to rotate with the mouse (much like rotating an object in photoshop). I have put my code into an ENTER_FRAME event, and have been using a matrix object to do my rotation (is there an easier way?)

Code:
private function rotateClip(e:Event)
{
myMatrix.rotate((Math.floor(180*Math.atan2(mouseX,mouseY)/Math.PI)+90));

[Code].....

was my attempt at converting the code from the example link. I've also tried various other methods using trig to no avail.

Control Overstate Mouse Tag In Movieclip?

May 11, 2009

I've created some animated buttons (using movieclips of keyframe animation) and when the mouse goes over the button it starts a new animation sequence.now I would like to add some text when the mouse goes over the button but I tried adding the text I want to a new layer of the animation but obviously this just plays for the duration of the animation sequence or if I add another keyframe so it only shows for a short time then it will flash up each time the sequence loops around (I don't want the overstate sequence just to play once - I want it to keep going while the mouse is over the button)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Rotate MovieClip Towards Mouse

Nov 26, 2010

I made a game in AS2 where the player rotates towards the mouse, then discovered you need AS3 for 3D things(which I plan to add later) so I re-made the game in AS3. I think I can more or less do the rest of it but the rotation is driving me crazy. This code works fine in AS2 but when I try it in AS3 it completely fails. The player just wobbles about a 90 degree radius.

Dd Eventlisenter For Mouse Click To A Movieclip?

Oct 7, 2009

from various books, I know that to add eventlisenter for mouse click to a movieclip:
 
movieClipName.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, clickFunction);
 
then I define the function
 
function clickFunction(event:MouseEvent)
{ bla bla bla }

My questions are (as silly as they might sound!),

a) why do we need a parameter (i.e. event:MouseEvent) for clickFunction??

b) since we have a parameter for clickFunction, when we feed this function into addEventListener, why didn't we write  movieClipName.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, clickFunction() );

Actionscript :: Mouse Control On ONE Movieclip Only?

Jan 28, 2010

In Flash/ActionScript2, is it possible to capture the mousemove, buttonup and down event but only within one MovieClip? At present, i can capture mousemove etc. via a listener, but only for the entire stage..I need to draw a rectangle for selecten, and then press a save button. The problem is i save the coordinates on mousedown and up, but when I press on the save button, it saves the coordinates of when you pressed on the save button...I've tried mc.onXY, but that either listened not at all or to the entire stage...

Edit: Code as requested
mc.onMouseDown
should be
mcImageToCrop.onMouseDown

I did change it back to mc when mcImageToCrop didn't work...

ActionScript 3.0 :: MovieClip Unresponsive To Mouse Over?

Mar 19, 2009

I'm loading an image into a thumbnail button in flash from an XML file.

The button will scale up when it is mouse-over'd (is this a word?)

Here is the loading of the image into the movieclip

Code:
imageLoader = new Loader();
//imageURLArray[i] = "image.jpg"
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(imageURLArray[i]));

[Code]....

Without the image loaded in it works fine. But with the image loaded in, the image is on top of the button so the scale event triggers the Loader object to scale ( instead of the button it is parented to). Is there a way to make the Loader object or the moveiclip it's parented to (imageHolder) unresponsive to a mouse over so only the thumbnail will scale (and its children as a result of course).

Here is the parenting if you need help visualizing it:

[ thumnail:MovieClip ] --child--> [ imageHolder:MovieClip ] --child--> [ Loader:dont know]

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Get MovieClip To Face Mouse

Sep 17, 2009

I'm making a top down shooter and I'm encountering some interesting code lag with the function I'm using to make the player face the mouse.

Code:
//The function is called through a ENTER_FRAME listener.
//mX & mY are the current position of the mouse.
public function facePoint(mX, mY){
if(this.visible){
this.rotation = (-Math.atan2((this.x - mX),(this.y - mY))) * 180 / Math.PI;
}}

If I hold down two movement keys and then spin the mouse around the character really fast, it builds up some kind of buffer that sends the character out of control for a few seconds, even after you've released the keys. Just discovered that reducing the quality to low removes the issue entirely... so its a graphics problem. How to avoid this?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Mouse Movieclip Detection?

Apr 8, 2011

when you have two movieclips and the bounding box of one movieclip is over top of the movieclip below, how do you detect that the mouse is over the bottom movieclip, and ignore the alpha of the upper movieclip.I tried mouseEnabled = true, I tried mouseChildren = true...I can't seem to make the movieclip that is underneath of the bounding box of the upper clip respond to the mouse.

here's a method I put together to tell me what is underneath of the mouse.When I run this, the movieclip on top has its bounding box overlaying another movieclip...the bounding box meaning, and the transparent area of the top movieclips bounding box.This method returns both images when I'm over the bounding box of the top movieclip, yet I'm only over the lower movieclips actual image shape.

I just want to be able to drag that lower movieclip, and write a function that only returns that lower movieclip under it if I'm only on top of the lower movieclip.

var previousOUM:String = "";
function listObjectsUnderMouse(event:Event):void
{
var pointoint = new Point(mouseX, mouseY);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Detect When Mouse Leaves A MovieClip?

Feb 12, 2010

I'm having trouble having my flash file detect when my mouse goes over and/or leaves a movieclip. I want to have a mini slideshow in my menubar which, when my mouse goes over the movieclip containing the slideshow, the pictures 'enlarge', and when the mouse leaves, the clip becomes normal size again.

This is the code I've gotten the best result with, as of yet, but it only seems to notice that my mouse leaves the movieclip half of the time, and sometimes there's a 'glitch' where the clip zooms and unzooms uncontrollably when my mouse is just next to the clip.[code]...
