Actionscript 3 :: Working With 2 Mouse Instances In A Flash?
Jan 23, 2012
I have to code a 2-Player Flash / AS3 Video game. Each player must control a box, and with them, they have to catch elements that fall from the "sky". The user that after one minute has caught more of these elements wins.
The users are supposed to move their boxes with the mouse, but for it I'd need to listen mouse events from 2 different sources.
Could I get for each MouseEvent.CLICK, MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE and MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP from what source (mouse device - player) they came?

I have a row of buttons within a container, all with instance names. When one of the buttons is clicked and using a switch statement, I want to navigate to a timeline frame and stop to display the desired page. Could someone provide an example of AS code?
The ActionScript 3.0 Language and Components reference is great but there still is a lot missing in the process of coding in AS.

I have several movieclips in my project which are being used as buttons, and when you rollover the mc's the content is viewable the entire time the mouse is hovering in the area of the movie clip, once the mouse moves off it disapeers. Great. I have the code that allows this to happen, but i have multiple mc's and only one works at a time. Here is the code:
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overHandler);
function overHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
mc.gotoAndStop(2);

I am working on a project which looks like a crossword puzzle. When you mouse over on the white boxes they will light up. When you mouse over the letters they will have 3d rotations and when you rollover only some specific letters, they will flip some specific boxes.
Right now what happens is, when you mouse over the boxes with letters on them, the letters will rotate but the box will not light up. This is because I have created the box movieclip, with the invisible button inside it, and then just duplicated it in my scene to create a tile. But the invisible button for the letters are on the scene,so it's kinda overriding it.when I tried having the buttons on the scene rather than inside the movie clip, what happened is when you roll over one of the boxes, all of them will animate.

I'm very new to Adobe Flash CS5.5. Can you create a common instance EG: "Enemy" and then control it like so:
Enemy.x += 1;
So that all instances of Enemy will move forward one pixel each frame? Instead of just one enemy? If this is not possible could I set up some sort of array of enemies like you can in C and try something like:
int EnemyNo = 1;
for(EnemyNo = 1; EnemyNo < 5; EnemyNo++) {
Enemy[EnemyNo].x += 1;
}
Does Flash even support "for" loops?

I have Multiple movieclips that when you hover over, a info box pops up and stays active until the mouse is moved away from the info box. Simple enough. I have multiple movieclips and i cannot get more than one to work. In order for the movieclip to work the instance name is 'mc' and this is the code i am using:

I'm not sure why it says that when I export the movie. I read that it may be because the actionscripts in the keyframe and not in the move, though that isnt the case here. Below is the code for my button.
on (release) {
getURL("JavaScript:liveChat();");
}

I was following a tutorial off a site to build my title menu. I followed everything to the T and the ActionScript 2.0 is giving me 2 of the same errors Mouse events are permitted only for button instances, on 2 of my layers. below is the action script2 code
1. invisible button layer
on (rollOver) { gotoAndStop (1); }
2. ECHOTRAK BUTTON
stop (); on (rollOver) { gotoAndStop (2); }
my question is how do i make my button for my drop down menu work. an instance is a label correct if so were does it exist in this code. I believe its telling me I'm missing my frame labels to be included somewhere in this code the site i used was on this site

nav item consists of a ball that "follows" the cursor in relation to where it is on the page. JS is used to gather the X/Y info from off the Flash stage and create vars to be used by the Flash movie to move the "orb" in relation to the cursor position. For some reason, FF and Chrome on PC fall short here.I've tried everything from setting the Flash movie to "opaque" and positioning a transparent DIV over it, all to no avail.Any thoughts on this? Has anyone encountered something like this?

I have a button that is called to the stage using AS. When the user releases that button, a global variable is populated and the pageShell movie clip is removed and re-attached using the new variable info. When I run the movie, I get the following in the output panel: **Error** Mouse events are permitted only for button instances on (release:<name>){ I'm not sure why this is happening because the symbol being used (<idname>) is a button.

I have three buttons, each time you hover over a button an image related to that button will appear. Got this to work by following this tutorial: [URL]
I have the buttons inside a movieclip and the code on each movie clip is
on (rollOver) {
_root.x +=2;
_root.But1_MC.swapDepths(_root.x);
[Code]....
This works together nicely until I roll my mouse over one of the buttons, and pretty much whatever the last button was that I rolled over that's what image stays up. The side buttons still keep rotating at the correct interval, but the images are not the correct ones

I have an air app with a Mouse.hide() that is not working on the mac, but in an odd way. It has the latest AIR runtime as of the other day and I am publishing to AIR 2.0 from Flash Pro CS5. I'm making it from windows where it works fine, but the show computer is a mac mini. I am calling Mouse.hide on the Document class in the ADDED_TO_STAGE handler (right before going FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE), as well as 2 seconds after ADDED_TO_STAGE via a timer.
Here's the thing. If you launch the air app from the dock in osx, it works every time. However, if you launch the app from a finder window, the Mouse.hide() does not work! It also doesn't work when the app is set to run at login, as this is a trade show display setup just to run this app. It is also worth noting that in this case, the app still does have keyboard focus as the keyboard events are registering properly.

I am developing a simple galaga clone for my site, its at [URL] . You will notice the controls work fine in firefox, opera, safari, chrome, etc. However, in IE, the controls are only triggered if the mouse cursor is hovering directly over the player ship.
The playership object is created in the main document class which passes a reference to the stage to the playership class.
private var ourShip:playerShip = new playerShip(stage, ourHUD);
Which is then added to the stage from within the document class (gameMain)
stage.addChild(ourShip);
The playership class then monitors the mouseX and reacts accordingly. The code for the ship controls which are linked to the enter_frame eventhandler is
Code:
public function controlShip(e:Event):void {
var a1 = stageRef.mouseY - e.target.y;
var b1 = stageRef.mouseX - e.target.x;
var radians1 = Math.atan2(a1,b1);

I am trying to create what I believe to be a very simplerollover button that produces three buttons that pop up then clickon a button and gotoAndPlay a label. The rollover and pop up I havebeen able to do successfully - however the mouse CLICK event forthe buttons that pop up won't work. I know this should be simple -but I have been struggling with this for days. I am determined todo this using AS3 as I do not see the point in going backwards toAS2.

I'm using AS3 and created a MOUSE WHEEL EventListener. It works fine when testing in the Flash authoring program...but not in the browser.(except In IE...which I found odd).I have looked around in different forums and many people have this problem and explanations on why it doesn't workI believe the problem cannot be solved in Flash...but through JavaScript.

I have a fisheye menu, (by the very talented David Manrique, check out his tutorial and source here: [URL] It uses an array of images imported into a library. The code to recognize mouse clicks is working, but I can't get it to load up specific frames of the Flash file. So, for example, when "image1" is clicked, it would load up frame 2 of the flash file. When "image2" is clicked, it would load up frame3...etc.
