I dragged and dropped my movie clip on to the stage, and it doesn't play. Other movie clips play, but the one I need to use doesn't play. I even added a function that is supposed to play the clip when you click on another clip, and it doesn't work although others do. I've attached the fla for reference, the clip that I'm trying to use is wipe3.
View 1 RepliesI am looking for a way to remove a movieclip from the stage when it is dropped (after a pause) and then have a new random movieclip appear at a specific point on the stage, which can then be dragged and dropped onto its own target (which repeats the process).
Code:
var movieArray:Array = new Array();
movieArray = ["Red", "Green" , "Blue"];[code].....
I added a movieclip and named "bot_mc" in another movieclip. Then, In Action panel, I use bot_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOWN, xxxx). However, when I drag and drop the container movieclip on the main stage and compile. There is no error occurs but the MouseEvent doesn't work.
View 3 RepliesI have developed a simple drag and drop learning object, which works exactly as I intend it too except for one small problem. I have a selection of labels and each one has its own X and Y variables; now when I drag a label if I hit the target then it is dropped into place and if I miss my target it calls the Number variable for the X and Y of the MovieClip and it snaps back to its original co-ordinates - great.
The problem I have found is when I drag the label holding down my left hand mouse button towards the edge of my stage, as my mouse cursor holding the label passes from inside the stage to outside I lose my hand icon and the label is in limbo until I bring it back into the stage but then I am forced to drop the label just inside the stage and the X and Y variable no longer holds the original co-ordinates of the MovieClip, but is overwritten it seems to the new co-ordinates near the edge of the stage, so the snap back goes to the edge of the stage and not where it should. I have gone down the route of creating a rectangle bound to keep the label within the stage but as I hit the bound it unfortunatley acts in much the same way as when I drag outside the stage.
I understand that AS3 is listening out for a MOUSE EVENT and that it cannot listen when the cursor is outside the stage; I have come across the MOUSE LEAVE function would this work? I basically want my code to detect when the MovieClip has been dragged outside the stage and automatically snap it back to the co-ordinates held within the X and Y variables and stop dragging letting the user try again.
Is there any possible way that you could drag and drop the stage itself? I mean, Id rather not have to make a bounding box for what could be an infinite number of images randomly placed on and off the stage's view.

View 1 RepliesBasically imagine a stage with 1 question on it and 3 possible answers. All the answers are draggable and the correct answer must be dragged to the answer area. If the wrong answer is dragged it bounces back... The problem (which in my opinion seems quite basic) is when the correct answer is dragged onto the answer area, I can't get it to do much. I can run a trace and that works so I know its setup correctly but I think i'm coding it wrong within the IF statement. My entire code for the correct answer is kept in a seperate as file and I have listed it below:
package code {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.geom.Point;
public class Three extends MovieClip {

The bit where it says " if ( dropTarget.parent.name == "answer" )" I'm presuming is where the code has to go. I want to either goto a frame label within the main timeline which says "Congrats" kinda thing OR the other way I can think is adding a movie clip to the stage with the congrats msg in.
I'm new to actionscript but I'm trying to put together a little virtual pizza maker tool. The idea is you drag and drop the ingredients into a pizza base to make a virtual pizza. Here's what I've built so far using actionscript 3 [URL] I've had to make 6 instances of each ingredient, what I'd like to do is add a new instance to the stage when a button is clicked as in this demo.. [URL] Is it possible to add new instances to the stage and make them drag on drop like my first attempt?
View 4 RepliesDoes anyone have a print job script that I can use on a mouseclick over a symbol - I want to print a specific area on a stage based on a drag and drop scenario... once all the relevant_MC's have been dragged into position the person gets the option to print via a button. I've attached the SWF for a view of the end product - I only need to print the grey area in the middle - not the white (thats where the drag and drop items will sit when not in use).

View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip that I am dragging onto another movie clip and i want it to stay put. But once I add in another 'OR' statement in the if statement, it freaks out and doesn't work. Why is this?
This code works:
btn1.onRelease=function(){
stopDrag();
if(eval(this._droptarget) != btn1Hold) {
this._x=this.startX;
this._y=this.startY;
} else{

Code:
btn1.onRelease=function(){
stopDrag();
if( (eval(this._droptarget) != btn1Hold) || (eval(this._droptarget) != btn2Hold) ) {//CHANGED LINE

For whatever reason it doesn't like the extra 'OR' in the if statement! why!?

View 1 RepliesI have been trying to develop a drag and drop Mr. Potato Head type game for a couple of days now. I am new to AS3 and I have hit a roadblock that I was hoping someone out there could help me get through. My game has 3 separate menus (mouths, hats, and eyes).Each menu is a nested MC which has several dragable objects. Unfortunately, when I move to the next frame on the timeline the object I drug out resets itself and disappears. Is there any way to keep a dragable object on the stage once it has been placed there? I think my problem is more of a logic and structure issue with the way that I set up the game rather than an issue with actionscript.
View 3 RepliesBut I do not want to Drag and Drop the original movieclip (A). But a copy of the clicked movieclip (A1).To do this I make a copy of the clicked movieclip and put in on the same place as the original one. And set function A1.startDrag();The problems which i have now is the handling of the mouse events. Because Flash was bussy with movieclip A, and is now interrupted by movieclip
.onPress {
make moviclip 1
set location A1 under the mouse cursor

In order to improve user experience we want the ability to have an animated movieclip of a turning wheel- and have the ability to drag and drop it anywhere on a defined area
We have built the rotating wheel as a swc file.
How do we do the drag+drop. Examples that I have seen, cater to only dropping of images.
I'll try to make a movieclip for drag and drop event this is a code that I've find on the web:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;

But this one make a vectoriale circle on the stage and makes it draggable.Now I've a movie_clip called "mc_Image" on my stage (that have inside a image background and some transparent button).
I am trying to recreate a drag and drop effect that seems like you are dragging the whole screen to navigate around... like this-->I'm assuming its a huge movieclip that is being dragged around the stage with a nice tween effect to it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.I am trying to tween it to look pretty, but when i drag, it tweens it in relation to 0,0 of the movie clip. So the upper left corner moves to the mouseX, mouseY position.I think there is a math to figure this out, but I suck at math.
Code:
holder_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, DragImage);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, DropImage);

View 2 RepliesLately im trying to do some experimental things with JSFL, and i was wondering if it is possible to listener for an event when a component (that i have made) or movieclip is dragged from library on the stage.i want to create something that i'll get a component and drop it on a mc. when the component is dropped on the mc the component will save the mc as a reference in some var.maybe with events isnt the way to go but i have no clue if this is possible or how to do it another way.
View 1 RepliesI am having problems with optimizing a code. I am not new to Flash (not an expert though) but as much as I work and read it seems that there are lots of things I don't know. I hope you could help me with this.
So..I have 192 buttons (each in different colors) and 192 arrows. The arrows are invisible in the first place. When I press one of the buttons I want the coresponding arrow to appear, hide the mouse and make it act like a mouse. I also want to be able to drop the color of the button on an external movieclip.

I want to make a drag and drop movie clip with rotating control in 360 degrees.I made a movie clip with 30 frames with a button in centre which can rotate the object in 360 degrees.At this stage it is functioning.when i tried to add the drag and drop action to the movie,the button for rotation is not working.
View 0 RepliesI am wondering if I can write an IF statement that is a movieclip is drag and drop into a certain area that an event occurs. Everything I try seems not to work any idea?
View 2 RepliesI've been making a drag and drop by using the following code:
Code:
plank0_mc.onPress = function() {
startDrag(this);
this.gotoAndStop(2);
//this._rotation = 33;
};
plank0_mc.onRelease = plank0_mc.onReleaseOutside=function () {
StopDrag(this);
}
It works fine apart from the rotation - when it rotates the movieclip the mouse can technically no longer be on the plank anymore. And the mouse is dragging the plank but is not actually on the graphic. Is there any way of snapping the mouse to the centre of the movieclip no matter where they click?
I have been working with a very simple tutorial over at [URL], where you drag objects onto a target movieClip. My question is this, how do you target a movieClip inside a movie clip? What I have are 4 color squares that I want to drag and drop onto a pattern_mc. I put the target mc's with in the pattern_mc. In the tutorial the target mc's are not in a movie clip. I put my target mc's in a movieClip because I want to use the pattern_mc as a material, and I thought this was the correct way to this.
Code:
//record objects starting position
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;
//activate objects to be moved
square1mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
square1mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);

Going from AC2 to AC3. I have made a script that creates a dot (myTag) and a text label (nameLabel) when a button is pressed. Then the user is able to drag and drop the dots. This is what my script does so far. I want the text label to be hidden when dragging and displayed at the place where the dot is when user stops dragging.
Here is my code:
var tagArray:Array = [];
var labelArray:Array = [];
var nameCounter:int = 0
addLabelKnapp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, addLabel);

I've got 3 coloured balls and 3 zones which any of the balls can be dropped in. The idea is that once a ball is placed in a zone, it stays in that zone and no other ball can be added to that zone until the current ball is removed.
I've got to a point so that any ball can be placed in any zone. However, the problem is there seems to be some hierarchy with regards to the balls. ball0_mc seems to be the chief ball, and will replace any of the other two balls if there placed in a zone, instead of snapping back to it's original position because the zone is full. ball0_mc also can't be replaced by any of the other balls if its placed in a zone. ball1_mc is the next one down the line and when in a zone, can be replaced by ball0_mc if its dragged over it, but it cannot be replaced by the third and final ball2_mc. ball2_mc seems to be the runt of the pack and can be replaced by either of the two other balls when its in a zone and cannot replace any of the other balls when they're in a zone.
Hope you're still with me?! So, what I'd like to do is make it so each ball is equal, so when any ball is placed in a zone, it can't be replaced with another ball until the current ball has been removed...and they live happily ever after in the land of ballshire.
Here's my code. I've created two classes, one linked to the movie clip balls called 'Ball', and another called 'EgoGame' which is being used as the document class for the main .fla file.
