I'm using a scrollpane and when you release the mouse outside the flash area when scrolling it doesn't register the MOUSE_UP and gets stuck in its scrolling state. You then have to click inside the scrollpane to disable the scrolling. I'd like to use a MOUSE_LEAVE event to remove the focus from the scrollbar so this doesn't happen. What is the best way to disable the scrollbar when the user is outside the flash window?
View 6 RepliesI have a menu drawer at the edge of the screen that shows when the user rolls the mouse over it, but if the user overshoots it an moves the cursor slightly outside the browser window this is unfortunenatly registered as a mouse out.
I want to stop this by using event.MOUSE_LEAVE, but i need to use it as a condition not to triger a "leaveHandler".
I am hoping someone has a quick answer for me on this. I am trying to handle a drag event when the cursor leaves the stage. Should be fairly simple with Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, but I am having unexpected difficulties.with:
Code:
this.stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE,this.mouseDragReleaseHandler);
I never reach the code in mouseDragReleaseHandler

I have created a movie that requires the user to click on two points on an image. I want a visual indication to appear (eg a marker of some sort) to appear on the first and second click. Is this possible?
View 21 RepliesI am creating an expandable flash banner using Flash CS3/AS3, with Event.MOUSE_LEAVE to detect when the mouse leaves the banner. In closed state the dimensions are 300x250, when expanded it opens to 500x500. As far as I can see the banner opens and closes perfectly in all browsers other than Safari (only tested on v4.0.3). It seems that in Safari when expanded to 500x500, the flash player fires the MOUSE_LEAVE event when the mouse leaves the 300x250 area, rather than the 500x500 area, ultimately closing the banner prematurely.
You can see it working (or not working in Safari's case) here: [URL]
This is the code I'm using to open/close the banner:
Code:
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, open_banner);
function open_banner(e:MouseEvent):void {
removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, open_banner);
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, close_banner);
gotoAndPlay('open');
[Code] .....
I'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
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;[code]....
I'm trying to get some accordion style btns to close if the mouse leave the stage.here's the code I have in place thus far:
stop();
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, closeall);function closeall(event:Event):void {
if (btn1.currentFrame != 0) { btn1.gotoAndPlay(10); } if (btn2.currentFrame != 0) { btn2.gotoAndPlay(10); } if (btn3.currentFrame != 0) { btn3.gotoAndPlay(10); } if (btn4.currentFrame != 0) { btn4.gotoAndPlay(10); }
}
If my cursor leaves the stage nothing happens?
I have a flash object which dimension and position are as same as the HTML button. The button is under the flash object. I want when the flash is clicked and hovered, the button has the styles as if it is clicked and hovered at the same time. I am trying to call: ExternalInterface.call("mouseEventHandle", elementId, eventName); in flash to pass event to JS. And in JS(coffeescript): window.mouseEventHandle = (elementId, eventName) -> id = '#' + elementId switch event when "down" then console.log("down") when "up" then console.log("up") when "enter" then console.log("enter") else console.log("leave") # leave the function is responsible for styling the HTML button. The question is how to style the button under in JS? Or is there other way to achieve the goal?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create a draw program in AS2 where I can draw shapes with my mouse inside a Scrollpane. Furthermore, I need to be able to drag and drop these objects within the Scrollpane. Currently, I'm doing the following:
1) I created an empty movie clip called main and I'm attaching it inside the Scrollpane called scroll
2) I draw the objects inside another empty movie clip called p0, p1, p2, etc. which I'm attaching inside main. When I drag the objects around, they can be dragged outside the boundaries of the Scrollpane. How can I prevent that from happening?
is there a way to add easing to the scrollpane (component) when you mouse-click and drag?

I've got some moveieClips in container in a scrollpane component.The movieClips are draggable.I'd like to add extra functionality where if an item is dragged and touches the bottom of the scrollpane, it automatically scrolls up, and the reverse if you touch the top with a dragged object.I tried the scrollDrag, but I only want it to scroll once the dragged item touches the bottom or top.So I wrote this and put it in the drag function:[code]....
It needs a bit of work, and I think I can get it working, but the one thing I'm stumped on is how to make the scrollbar move too.Is there a way to communicate with the component using code (I created this component from the component inspector)?
Is there a video tutorial that could show me how to easily put a movieclip inside a scrollPanel using Flash CS4 ?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use a scrollbar in flash cs5. The problem is that I tried the ScrollPane, but I want to be able to contact the content in it. The way I have learned, ScrollPane just links to a moveclip in your library, and the content itself is never actually placed on the stage. So, how can I call up the content in my ScrollPane? I tried to give the ScrollPane the instance name "scroll" and refer to the content in it, like this:
scroll.content1.content
But since the content never is placed on stage I can't contact it.
I'm having trouble calling up the content in my scrollpane in a simple quiz application. I'm a graphic designer so I'm not real proficient with AS3 yet. I created a scrollpane object called Scroller1 and I'm trying to scroll a movie object called Movie1 inside the scrollpane. The code I used from the Adobe site calls up an external file, but I want to call up an internal movie so I changed the Scroller1.source = to the movie name, but it doesn't work.
[Code]...
Is there some other way I need to call this up? The movie is a contents list that has buttons to take you to various frames in the application and it's too long for one page.
...only if its a top tier movie clip. If the movie clip is embedded in a slide show, it doesn't work properly. It works only when I turn the scrollwheel and move the mouse in the same direction at the same time. Kinda strange, isn't it? Is there a fix?
View 3 RepliesI'm importing two swfs - one goes into a scrollpane called menuPagePane, the other just where it is.I get a "cannot access the property or method of a null oblject reference" - menuPagePane.addChild(loader); error.
If I only try to import one of either swfs, they work fine. If I take off the menuPagePane reference (so as to import it directly to the stage, not the scrollpane), the swfs load, but I get a second instance of the first one loading on top of the second one.

View 6 RepliesI was experimenting and finally got my "scrolling picture" test going. That is, a picture that can be scrolled around. I used the ScrollPane, also set the ScrollDrag to TRUE so you can drag the picture around, but no matter what I do, I can't get the Horizontal Scroll Bar, without the drag, people will no be able to scroll left to right and vise-versa. How can I include or make the Horizontal Scroll Bar to work / show? Also, is the a way to set the starting position of the picture ? For example, the initial display set to the center of the picture.

I haven't been able to find a non-hack way to use Drag and Drop with the AS3 ScrollPane component.
Here's what I'm doing:
I create a container mc, which I then add a bunch of children to. The children are what I want to drag.
However, dragging is constrained to the boundaries of the ScrollPane. This seems to me like a limitation of the ScrollPane component.
I know it can be worked around with attaching a dupe mc to the cursor pos, then manipulating other mcs on mouse up, but..

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to understand how to build a button inside a movieclip. I have a template that has movieclips within movieclips, and when I create a button (all using AS2) the button will work if I test the scene, but in the whole flash movie it does not work. I also have some buttons located inside a ScrollPane that also do not call correctly.
For my button I am using this code:
facebookbtn.on (release) {
getURL("http://www.facebook.com/","_blank","GET");
}

^ This also does not work, with or without the button name before on(release).
