I have a customised movie clip that replaces the original mouse pointer arrow. It plays well within the stage (when published onto IE), however, when the mouse moves OUTSIDE of stage, the movie clip disappears to be replaced by the arrow instead.
How can I have my movie clip (for the mouse pointer) to play inside and outside of stage?
How can i use a MovieClip on the stage instead of Mouse Pointer?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to use a movie clip to block the mouse from activating the stage MOUSE_OVER event?
View 4 RepliesI've got a large item on screen that can be dragged around by the mouse. I've simply put an invisible button on the item with:
on(press) {
this.startDrag();
}
[Code].....
but if I move the mouse pointer outside the stage area while dragging the item and release the mouse button the release is not detected and the drag stays activated and I have to bring the pointer back to the stage and click and release on the button again to stop the drag.
Is there a way to deactivate a drag when the mouse is released outside the bounds of the stage, perhaps by using a different method that doesn't rely on a button?
I'm trying to reach a body of text which i turned into a movie clip which is on the main stage, and have it scroll up/down whenever it rolls over the designated hot spots. Here's what i have.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,down1,false,0,true);
function down1(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (mouseX>=0 && mouseX<=42 && mouseY>111.1 && mouseY<146.1) {
[code].....
I've read some previous post by others, and have got the concept of how to make it happen just need to ask a few specific questions, one is the action script for changing the movie to the cursor and telling it how to move as the mouse cursor, next question is how do i get to act as the mouse pointer for the whole page, for instance I'm using frames I've got my buttons in the left frame, with a banner it the nested top and then the pages of course load in the main frame, how when creating the mouse cursor do i get it to work all over the page? I wasn't sure if using the normal method if it acts through out the whole site or just over a flash movie.
View 3 RepliesIs there a way to position something INSIDE of a movie clip, based on X and Y values of the root stage?
Basically the X and Y of the container movie clip is at Stage.width/2; but I want one specific movie clip inside to stay permanently at 200X and 200Y on the MAIN STAGE. I can't actually move it to the root timeline though because it is using actionscript inside of the container.
Im able to link to a movieclip inside a movieclipUnfortunately one of the movieclips now are a scrollbar and scroll. Now the actionscript isnt working?cal.onPress = function() {gotoAndPlay(2);message1.contentMain.message.total = unit1;
View 17 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.

I have a movie clip that is a navigation window and I am trying to have some tooltip hover over the buttons inside the navigation window.
If I create a button on the main stage it hovers and works fine but if I create the same clip inside the embedded navigation window the tooltip does not show up. I do not have any error messages but it is not there that I can see.
I've created a frame by frame in the first layer of the timeline and in the second layer (above the first) another one with a keyframe in wich I've inserted another movieclip with some alpha tween (a kind of slideshow).
[Code]...
The problem is that when i test/publish the project, the frame by frame layer playes but the slideshow does not play at all, unless i extend in the main timeline with the F6 shortcut. If anyone has an ideea what is wrong please help me. Ty.
I'm working on an AS2 website that uses some alpha gradient masks in its header's looping animation. If I put this animation on the main timeline my masks work perfectly [setMask()], but, because the header needs to be a movieclip, my masks don't work at all.
It doesn't matter whether I tick the cacheAsBitmap property in the properties panel or I set it to true with AS for both the mask and masked mc's. I even tried with both, ticking and AS at the same time, but as long as my masks are inside the header mc, they're not working.
Can anyone explain what are advantages/disadvantages to put the button inside the movie clip vs. to put a button instance directly on the main timeline? My final goal is to have plenty of animation going on inside the button stages.

View 10 RepliesI have four animated buttons with a design element cross_mc inside of another movie clip content_mc. I need all four buttons to be in front of the cross_mc so I get inside of content_mc to arrange the buttons accordingly (Modify > Arrange > Bring toFront). Everything looks hunky dory until I test the movie in which one of the buttons appears to be always behind of the design thingy no matter what I do...
View 9 RepliesOn the about page of my Flash website, I wanted 7 buttons to navigate to various labels. I just finished the first button. I made it while I was inside the about_mc. It worked well but would NOT navigate. I took the button OUT of the Movie clip and made a separate layer on the about page for buttons and pasted it there and it worked perfect. When I made it inside the mc, is there some different code I should have used other than the standard code for making a button navigate to a frame. I built an addeventlistener and a function. BUT they only worked when the button was "ON TOP" of the mc NOT when it was INSIDE the mc. I have a transition tween on the about_mc and therefore the button does not tween when it is on TOP of the mc only when it is inside the mc.
var aboutTween:Tween = new Tween(about_mc, "y", Elastic.easeOut, -200, 146, 3, true);

I can drag a movieclip with static text inside it, but when I change the text to dynamic, I get a Property Startdrag not found on Flash.text.textfield and there is no default value.
View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip on the main stage- inside that movie clip is a button- I want that button to contol a function on the main timeline-
example: Button Script
closeAll_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goCloseAll);
function goCloseAll(e:MouseEvent):void {
****don't know what to put here to activate "closeAllOpenMovieClips" function on main stage****
}
example: Main Stage Timeline Script
function closeAllOpenMovieClips():void { trek_mc.gotoAndStop(1); lost_arts_mc.gotoAndStop(1); rain_mc.gotoAndStop(1); vintage_mc.gotoAndStop(1);}
***don't know if I need more script on Main Stage Timeline that just "function" ***
I have a .swf that loads into a movie clip in a Flash website. The .swf has all necessary stops to play once and stop once loaded. When tested outside of the movie clip, it does what it should, but once loaded, it loops forever and the speed is faster. How do I make this stop looping? (This only happenes to .swf that were made in CS4, doesn't happen with older .swfs that were made in Macromedia)

View 1 RepliesI have a very simple problem but I can't find the very simple solution to it. I've create an animated menu with animated movie clips inside to work as buttons. All the main buttons work perfectely but I've got just on button with a sub-menu. On this sub-menu I've placed an invisible hitarea button in order to place some gotoAndStop action. The thing is, it seems to me like this submenu hitarea are underneath something else (even though is the seccond layers right about the actions layers). I've placed a simple trace action whenever the mouse rolls over this area but I get nothing... Am I doing something really wrong? I'm losing all my hair already.
View 2 RepliesI am pretty new to ActionScript 3 and Flash. I don't want my movie clip to play unless the person's mouse curser is on the movie clip for more than a second. If the person just runs their curser over the movie clips really quickly, then it should do nothing. It must be more than a second. How do I code that?
[Code]...
I have in my root:
1 Movie Clip instancied as a "cursor" 1 Movie Clip instancied as a "Mc_Obstacles" with others 5 Movie Clipsand the 5 Movie Clips inside the "Mc_Obstacles" are instancied as "Obstacle" , all with the same instance...I want this: when the mc "cursor" hit one of mcs "obstacles" gotoandstop to frame X then i did in frame with actions in another layer:
cursor.onEnterFrame=function(){
this._x=this.x+10;
if(this.hitTest(Mc_Obstacles.Obstacle)){
gotoAndStop(4);
}
}
The question is, How do you apply a function to a movie clip inside a movie clip inside a movie clip. So there are three mc and I need to apply the function to the inner most one.
Here is what I have. The 'a' is in 'spin_4' wich needs to be in 'portal'.
ActionScript Code:
for(var i = 1; i<=12; i++){
this.spin_4['a_'+i].onEnterFrame = function(){
if(this.hitTest(_level0.man)){

i made a movie clip name floor, and inside it are movieclips called plan0, plan1, plan2, plan2, and so on.
so to make it easy, it put the movieclips inside the floor movieclip into an array, like this:
daFloor = new Array();
for(a=0; a<10; a++){
daFloor[a] = "plan"+a
}
[Code]....
both didn;t work. how to access the inside movieclips through array;
I'm loading an external image into an empty actionscript movie clip (holder1) using MovieClipLoader(); on frame one of my movie and is invisible. Then when the movie plays, there is an empty movie clip symbol (image1_mc) that is placed manually on the stage within another movie clip symbol (flash_mc), and is also on a bottom layer of a mask layer which is animated. Is it possible to place "holder1" inside of "image1_mc" so that I can treat it as if it were an embedded image? In other words, have the image in "holder1" inside of the manually placed movie clip symbol "image1_mc" so that I can use it like a regular symbol on the stage?
