I would like 2 objects that I can drag up and down indipendantly with the mouse (vertically only) between set limits. I would also like a line between the two objects that stretches like a piece of elastic.
View 9 RepliesI have builded a 3d carousel following the tutorial and managed to insert it properly in my site. (great great tutroials, really)What i wanted to change though if possible, is that i would like the carousel to spin only when dragged by the mouse. I have searched alot of forums for days but didnt manage to find a script to include or substitute to achieve this.
View 13 RepliesI have this problem...no worries it is only about ActionScript! I have created two movieclips: one is called "sun_mc" (with a nice smile) and a ring of sunrays (short and long ones) called "ring_mc".the ring is situated around the sun.
The user clicks the sun and drags to rotate it.The user can click the ring to rotate that too.When the sun is rotating...the ring should not be...and vice versa.
I have three problems...
1) I can't get the two mc's to move independently 2) When rotating the mouse position always jumps to a certain point on the movieclip...not the point where you clicked it first 3) The ring is also rotating when the mouse is outside the ring...
What should I do?I tried to obscure a part of the ring_mc with some masking...That didn't work.Should I try hitTest? And how should I do that? That only works with squares doesn't it?

Im looking for a quick solution (if its out there) using the autohide feature using the FLV Playback Component.
Current situation: Using ActionScript 2. The FLV component fills the stage. Autohide is set to true.
It looks to me that since the video fills the stage, the skin will not hide. What I would like to do is have the skin fade out if the mouse doesnt move for a certain period of time.

View 2 RepliesI would like to attach (using A3) a movie clip to a draggable movie clip. I has set up a movie clip using startDrag() all works fine. But I would like to be able to dynamically place a movie clip inside it so that it too drags. Ive got it to partly work you can drag the original movie clip around and the attached movie clip (using aadChild) moves too. But if I grab the attached movie clip instead of the original clip it moves independently.
Is there a way of getting a movie clip inside the draggable movie clip and have it fixed in place and not move if you happen to attempt to drag it.
Im using the code below to stop a page being moved past certain points when at 25% zoom on my page. This works perfectly however I have 50%, 75% and 100% zoom aswell. How would I alter this code so the drag limits can be different for each level of zoom.The code im using just now is:
pages.onMouseDown = function () {
// check if page is zoomed
if (pages._xscale != 25) {

View 1 RepliesIs there an actionscript I can insert to create the animation/movement of a cube flipping/rotating vertically?

View 1 RepliesI would like to create something similar to this: and only need a few things to complete it.What is missing is to make the whole flash movie (the white area, including the watches and cursor) move from left to right and right to left depending on the movement of the cursor (round circle) ..

View 5 RepliesI am an extreme novice in Flash and I've built a drop down menu following a tutorial from YouTube - sadly this took me days! It functions BUT fast mouse movement away from the menu drop down seems to prevent the drop down menu from closing. Does anyone know of a fix for this?
Second question - I know how to create text links but when I do this the text's position jumps down without me having told it to. So is there a way to apply a link to a button rather than the text in the button, and is it possible to also apply a link to a movie clip?[URL]...
I need to make a dragable button but I need this object to stay clear from other objects on the stage so to act like pushing away other objects on the stage.
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to create a game and I'm new to actionscript. I'm using actionscript 3.0 and flash player 9. I'm trying to have a button that when clicked creates an object that follows the mouse around the screen until that object is placed on the screen. When I click the button the object follows the mouse but it ends up covering the screen with the objects drag.

View 6 RepliesHere're my 2 problems: 1-I did a menu moving in 3d following my mouse movement. But i would like it to have a limit of rotation on the left and on the right, cause i don't the user to see the back of the image (the image is rotating 360 right now, i would like it to rotate maybe like 90 or less). Here's the code i am using:
[Code]...
2-My second question is about my menu buttons. I want them to be on lower layer cause it help creating my 3d scene cause sometimes it is a part cover by my image on the top. But the buttons stop to be clickable when they are behind something (even a part behind). I want them to be clickable at all time. The strange thing is i checked out in the forum and a lot of people have the opposite problem... their buttons still work. How can i make mine clickable?
I'm new to flash, so I am sure I am missing something basic, but I have not been able to reference movie clips independently in code. I have set an instance name on each symbol, but when I reference in code it is undefined.
If it matters my project is set up this way:Using Flash 4 Pro. Layer one: Static Background Layers two-five: individual movie clips Layer six: transparent buttons over the movieclips.The buttons work fine, but I wanto to play the movieclips on mouse over.
I have objects that the user can click&drag. They're PNGs, mainly rectangular, no problem till here.But I then had to put an L-shaped object (a PNG with a lot of transparency), so i've made a movieclip with an shape with the same L shape than the png, and use it as its hitArea:
shape.visible= false;
shape.mouseEnabled= false;
obj.addChild(shape);
obj.hitArea= shape;
This works PERFECT, the mouse events respond as expected, and I can click on objects that are below/above the transparent area of the png/object.All objects are inside a Sprite called playgroundLayer1. The issue comes when I take the L-shaped object and put it on another Sprite (playgroundLayer2), that is above the playgroundLayer1.I this case, I can click&drag on the L, but no object below the transparent area of the L receives mouse events.
I have a mc (fStrip) which looks like a piece of filmstrip with thumbnail images in it. I want this mc to move when the users mouse is positioned over it, but I only want it to move only along it's x-axis and in a direction opposite that of the mouse. And I want it to move or flow smoothly.
I've been trying to figure this out (see my lame attempt below) but without much luck.
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
buffer=20 //movement buffer
mousePos=_root.fStrip._xmouse //store mouse position
if (mymouse!=_root.fStrip._xmouse){ //if the mouse has moved

Man I do hope adobe is going to add a simple resize area on the top corners of the AS window (or indeed any floating window)...at the moment, my AS window stretches down and off-screen for whatever reason and I find myself stuck trying to scale it back down. scrolling doesn't even work inside this floating window (on vista x64)A workaround (if you can call it that), I've noticed from *having* to play around (while I should have been working) to try and get the window back to a normal workable/visable size.)Right-click on the floating window (tab) in question and "Collapse to Icons", then click that specific icon to open the window to a managable size.Adobe, please add the resize to the top left, right or both of floating windows.
View 1 RepliesWould like to develop simple (in browser) puzzle games where shapes (such as a puzzle piece shape) can be simultaneously dragged and rotated, then dropped on the screen or canvas. The game mode would be to click and drag the shape or object, while simultaneously rotating the piece using arrow keys Is this possible in Flash? This simple general activity of simultaneous drag and rotate, then drop, is my intended overallweb site game basis. I'm new to Flash but have developed Windows executables for many years. I'm trying to decide whether to purchase and learn Flash as platform for interactive educational puzzle games running in browser windows.

View 1 RepliesI'm been working on a large-scale Flash game for the past 13 months, and a few months ago I was encountering an error message when trying to export saying, "Error creating Flash movie. There was not enough memory available." Here is a screenshot <url...> This isn't due to large videos or photos in the file, it's because theres a huge amount of frame by frame animation, so I can't just reduce quality.
I was off of a crappy laptop so at first I just bought a new computer with tons of ram because I didn't realize the software was an issue. This did not change anything (though I can run flash with less lag).
Then, I decided to do as much optimizing as I could. After a few months, all opimization possible as been done, and I have reached the point where I get the error again.
Then, I decided to cut the main file up into smaller pieces and link them together. This worked, but now some individual pieces require too much memory and get the error.
I have made an image sequence that listens to mouse movement left or right (if i move the mouse 1 px left - the previous frame appears, and if mouse moves right - the following frame appears).My problem is that the transition between the frames, when moving the mouse too fast, appears to be very "jumpy" (the sequence can move from frame 20 to 25 when the mouse moves too fast, making it look very bad) Can I control it like there is a max speed for the mouse movement? Or maybe a max speed for the frame transitions (frame-by-frame)?ere is my code that listens to the mouse event:
if (Flag) {
var activeMouseX = stage.mouseX;
if (activeMouseX > prevMouseX){

I have been at this for about 19 hours straight! I am going to go to bed immediately after this post, but for crying out loud, I have NEVER had this problem before today!

I want to have an image and when I click on the image ,one can hold down the mouse and drag a copy to where ever on the stage and when one lets go, one can drag another and another with each copy still being able to be dragged after released.this is what i have but its pretty simple and doesn't work....

So, I've been struggling with this for hours. I have a button, a slider (yellow triangle) that moves horizontally within a range. Above the slider is a vertical meter that should move up/down based on the horizontal movement of the slider, i.e. if the slider moves to the left, the meter should rise; if the slider moves right, the meter should fall. Both objects start at the center of their axis as shown in the image provided.
Here's what I have so far to display the masked meter correctly and to limit the slider to the range of the horizontal axis. I can't figure out the rest to make the meter move accordingly. Someone out there for whom this is really easy, please help me through this; talk me through your logic of how to make this work.
