I have another problem with my scroll pane. I now have a bunch of Loader objects that are used to display thumbnail images in a scrollpane. I want to add a MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER event so that when I a person rolls over an image there will be some buttons displayed, IE a remove button so the user can delete an image from the gallery. However my ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT events are firing like CRAZY when I place my mouse over a picture. Right now I have the roll over and roll out events set to just hide the image (so I know that it's working). But all that happens is the image flashes....
I am building a photo gallery and I am loading the thumbnails from an XML file into a scroll pane dynamically. As the scroll pane fills up, it gets wider to accomodate the thumbnailsThere is one row, and eventually, I want to have the user be able to mouse left or right and have the scroll pane scroll, versus clicking on the bar or the left/right arrows. However, in order to accomplish this, I need the scroll bars to disappear!
This one's been irking me for a while. When I'm using the mouse scroll wheel to scroll up and down in a webpage, and a flash movie comes into the path of the cursor, the scroll wheel stops working. Also, when a flash movie has focus, you can't use browser shortcuts like Ctrl + L or Ctrl + R.
I'm writing a flex application now and I'd like to find a solution, so that at least my users aren't plagued by this inconsistency of the user interface behavior.
I should think there would be a way to tell flash to propagate such events as the mouse scroll wheel and keyboard input back up to the browser unless they occur in an element for which they are useful, like in a flex textarea. I can't find any solutions out there though, nor even anyone talking about it.
Specifically, how can I make it so that:
When the user is scrolling with the mouse, the browser scrolls unless the mouse is over a flex container with scrollbar, or another component that wants to scroll.When the user presses a button or combination of buttons on the keyboard, it will be propagated to the browser unless there is an active keyboard listener, or the cursor is in a text field, etc.
Right now all the sounds (78 of them) on my guitar play using the roll_over event but that doesn't give the user much control over what sound is played.
The actionscript im using to play my sounds is this;
Just wanted to ask if there is any advantage for either using mouse click event or touch tap events, when writing apps for mobiles or tablets (for the iphone especially)?
I know that both of them should work fine, but in term of performance, is anyone better? Are there any things I should be aware of when choosing either?
By the way am using actionscript3 to implement the app.
I have an animation that I want to start when clicking on the flash window. However, I've also have some buttons on the stage. If I add an event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK on the stage, then it 'eats up' the events and the buttons don't work.
I've tried some tricks, by adding some invisible buttons on top of the real ones, and use the MOUSE_OVER event to selectively enable/disable the mouseEnabled flag for the stage, but didn't work because it complains that the property or method doesn't exist (which I find odd).
I know you can use the mouse wheel to scroll through text in the flash componenet scroll pane, but is there a way to set it up to work with the code I have posted below?
fscommand("allowscale", "false"); bar.useHandCursor = dragger.useHandCursor=false; space = 5;[code].....
I wrote a short AS program to create a tileList and it functions fine, but I need to be able to scroll the list of pics according to the position of the mouse with out actually moving the scroll bar.... example of what I mean: the farther to the right mouseX is on stage, the faster my tileList scrolls to the right, if mouseX moves to the left of the stage, so does the scroll bar...Here`s my code so far:
import flash.display.Sprite;import fl.controls.TileList;import fl.controls.ScrollBarDirection;import flash.text.TextFormat; var tlc:TileList;[code]........
is there anyway when i use scroll bar component in flash... how do i make it so that i can be controlled by your mouse scroll button.. thing.... ( if its possible )
I am having endless trouble trying to get flash to scroll with a mouse scroll wheel on both PC and Mac. Pixel Breakers code "swfmacmousewheel" seems to be the way to go but despite everyone raving about how amazing it is and showing many version of it working very nicely, I cant get it to work. I've followed all the instructions I can find as carefully as possible but I get nothing. I just want something similar to this > [URL]
i want to change my scroll effect from a drag to a mouse scroll.i have an example of the drag scroll, anyone know what bits of the code I have to change?
I have just wrote a code for vertical scroll of image through mouse scrolling. It works... but It works only after click on the image or inner space of the window..
var obj:Object = new Object(img); var over:Boolean = false; var lim:Number = 0 - (img._height - Stage.height);
In a project i'm doing I have a custom cursor, using the start drag command and mouse.hide. the issue being that the movieclip being dragged is blocking the mouse from initiation mouse events properly.
I have a movie clip I am using as a button (instance name btn1) and I added an event listener to it (using the following line): btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, animate1); the function "animate1" triggers some small animation when the mouse is over the movieclip. my problem is that the animation is triggered both on mouse over and mouse out events.
It has been awhile since I have worked in flash.Right now I am working on something where I would like a panel to disappear when someone mouses off the stage.stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, leaveHandler); It usually works fine but if I move my mouse really fast it doesn't fire. I have also tried the same thing using a custom invisible button that surounds the perimeter of the stage and I have tried ROLL_OVER and MOUSE_OVERand again, if I do it too fast my event doesn't fire (I am using trace)I can't find anything on the net about this - is this typical of flash that if you move your mouse too fast you break it? Do I need to increase my frame rate (I would really rather not because I have perfectly timed animations - I am at 30 frames per second)
I 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 looking to provide some UI functionality using the mouse- I have two distinct UI events to be achieved via mouse
a) change value b) delete object
I don't seem to have sufficient mouseclick events for both. I am avoiding using the right click as it has some default options(whose signing off will affect the whole project- not just this). I have mouse click used for change value- how do I use the doubleclick as the single-click events seems to get invoked prior?
[URL] BUT it got moved to components (I do understand why) , however, someone in another forum said to look at ExternalInterface to fix the problem above which seems to now be more appropriate to this forum.
I just dont understand how this >>> ExternalInterface / getURL to send scroll events to/from flash, would fix this>>> [URL].
i recently doing a custom scroll bar with mouse wheel,i succes to make it scroll and wheel in internet explorer, but when it come to firefox, it can't wheel but can scroll. I wonder how can i solve this problem.Here is the script ( it actually the tutorial from kirupa, i remember some people have post it before, but i wonder he/she can wheel in firefox.)
scrolling = function () { var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height; var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;[code]....
I used to play around with flash during the early days of action script 1.but now i can't seem to find my way around it. Used to be able to add the script to the button itself.[code]what I want to do is to have a toggle button show and hidethe objects on the movie.
I'm successfully using MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, but I need to know which one to use for when the end-user mouse away from the button. I've tried MOUSE_UP and MOUSE_OUT, but neither worked. Where can we find info resources that explain each one in details?
I had uploaded jpeg file onto the stage using File->Import.Now, how to access the mouse-events using AS3.0. i.e., when we click with mouse on the stage it should display the x and y co-ordinates of the point being clicked.These x and y coordinates must be displayed in text-boxes provided down on the same stage.
