Actionscript 3 :: Changing Index Position On StartDrag()?
Nov 5, 2010
I am making a dragable map and there are few thing on top of the map(UI). When the map is double clicked it enables drag. But it's changing the index position, basically, it going over the UI. what's the easiest way to control the index position of the map? The click and drag event is controlled in mapZoom class.
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, enableDrag);
public function enableDrag(e:MouseEvent):void
{
this.startDrag();
}

I'm writing a game with Flash CS5/AS 3.0 that tries to simulate depth of field by drawing all the relevant Movie Clips based on their Y position in ascending order, i.e. things lower on the stage overlap things higher on the stage. A MovieClip with a Y position of 10 would therefore need to have a lower index compared to a MovieClip with a Y position of 20, so the second one gets drawn on top of the first.
I wrote a quick and dirty function just to test this. During the trace, I've noticed that the truck's index hits 0 when I go near the top of the stage, but if I go too far up it will completely disappear from the stage. Trace then starts generating this error:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/getChildIndex()
at EICT::Game/ReorganizeDisplayIndexes()

I added a Menu_mc on my stage. Initially, this should be at the center of the stage and when I click on it, it will tween on the upper left corner of the browser. However, when I resize the browser, the Menu_mc goes back to the center of the screen.
I have tried separating a different actionscript file where it is specifically for initialization of the object and another one for resizing. And then when I call it on my main AS file it goes like this:
Code:
// Add the symbols to stage
var Menu_mc = new Menu_MC();
addChild(Menu_mc);
[code]...
But it seems futile.

I've run into a new problem, this time with positioning. I've narrowed down the line that's causing it--"block.y = block.y + block.height;" in SetOfBlocks.shiftDown. When I take it out, no problem. But with it in, instead of just dropping each block down by a block height, the affected blocks sometimes move up, and also often move about randomly within the X axis--although their new positions always keep them lined up with the 'grid', which is to say, within multiples of the block height and widths.

im trying to embed an swf file in facebook. To cut the story short, the swf im trying to embed is loaded fine but stops at preloader stage (0% of 1) and is not progessing as if it has missing link and couldnt locate something (the files struscture is one main swf file; index.swf loads other 5 swf),But, when i tried to load it up directly from browser, it works fine. I have been advised that changing the link path to absolute between the index.swf and 1.swf, 2.swf etc would solve the problem.
My questions will be:
-how do i change this path, because i couldnt seem to find any link that reflects the connection between those files?
-Is there any feature in flash that would be able to show this link rather than diggin up every symbol?
-If changing the path wouldnt solve the problem, what could be the reason this error is happening?.

I have a ViewStack, with a bunch of NavigatorContainers in. Each NavigatorContainer contains a different category of settings for the application.
I would like to be able to display a popup prompting the user if they try to leave the current NavigatorContainer without saving the changes they have made to the container's settings.
What would be ideal is something like the 'changing' event in the List component, whereby you are able to cancel or defer the event. Calling preventDefault() on the change event in ViewStack doesn't prevent the index change from happening.

how to get the X and Y coordinates of a character in a string based on index? I find it odd that I can get the exact letter and index by clicking a character in a text field, but I haven't found anything in code that can get those coordinates without a user click. Seems like they would have to know the x,y of the individual indexs to be able to tell you what letter you're clicking based on your own mouse coordinates.

I have a combobox that displays a list of items from an array (we'll call this Array1). Of course, an item can be selected, and the user is displayed a small output describing the item that was selected.
I created another array that contains the URL for items in the above array, Array1. How can I get the index value of a selected item from Array1? Here is the code I used:
[Code]...
For example, if I selecte FontsForFlash, Flash outputs Fonts for Flash in the Output Window. How can I display the array position of Fonts for Flash instead of the name Fonts for Flash?

i have an .as class that extends mx.containers.Canvas (it's a draggable border of a resizable component), it becomes draggable on MOUSE_DOWN and stops being draggable on MOUSE_UP, MOUSE_OUT and ROLL_OUT. before calling startDrag() i create a Rectangle to define the drag area, i also have a _dragging: Boolean variable to control if it's draggable at the moment. the problem is that when i click this border it jumps to a negative coordinate without calling startDrag or switching _dragging to true.
i've overriden get x, set x, get y, set y and move() methods in order to solve it but the only thing i got was the fact that position changes without calling coords setters or move(), but at the moment it's changed a getter is called and returns new (negative) value so my question is what happens on startDrag() and how to filter unwanted incoming coords values?

I have a textBox and I am using it as a mail address input field where the user can type in several addresses, a bit same as in hotmail. Each address is rendered into a clickable button. Thus upon double-clicking on a specific address I want the item to be editable. After having edited the address when the user taps enter, the item is added to the list of mail adds.I am adding it using the code below:
flowBox.addChildAt( myItem, myindex);
However addChildAt seems to add the item as the last item in the list. But I want it to add the item the position where it was originally. Say the item was at position 2 in the mail list, after editing adn tapping enter, it should add at position 2 itself and not at the end of the list.

I have series of frames with stuff on them. Normally you can go through, and flash automatically removes them each time.
But if I setChildIndex, it remains on the stage permenantly and won't clean up. Is there anyway to tell flash to be able to remove it again?

as you can see, I have a container MC which I have added to the stage. I set its drag constraints using a Rectangle(). I then add the 'cat' child movieclip to the container, and I want this to be dragable too. However, as soon as I click on my cat when testing the MC. It shoots to point x=0 y=0 on the stage and doesn't move.
The container MC can be moved without any trouble.
If I remove the rectangle bounds from the containers startdrag() function. both MC's can be dragged without any issue.

I know I can horizontally flip an image using ActionScript Code: image.scaleX *= 1;
However, this seems to move the left border of the image past its x coordinate.
I would like to make sure that the image stays within the same borders as before and that (x,y) is still the top left corner. Short of wrapping it in another image, is there a way to do that?

Is it possible to change the mouse-pointer position in fullscreen. I want my mousepointer never hits the left or right side screen walls.. in case it does so, it resets itself in between somewhere.
A fake mouse pointer using a movieclip, won't solve this problem, because after-all i have to save the mouse pointer from hitting screen-walls.

Im new to flash and doing my best to teach myself.Im using CS3.I've already been working on this project for a while, and I don't know why this is all of the sudden happening.I have a text graphic that I want to create a motion tween with.I created a new layer for it, and drug it to the stage.If I tested the movie at that point, it looked fine and didn't move. If I tried to move the original keyframe, or added a motion tween, it would look fine when I played it on the stage, but when I go to "test movie", its either not on the screen at all, or its in a totally different position.

Well the animation works okay despite the convoluted timeline. You can select any transfer case mode by moving the slider switch. To shift into neutral from any gear, you press the neutral (N) button. To exit neutral, you press the neutral button again. If you shift into N from either 4WD Auto or 4WD Low, the slider switch jumps to 2WD even though there should be no movement and the animation goes where it is supposed to. It's been a long time since I've been able to work in Flash and it's so close to complete that this is driving me nuts.

This is a 2 part question really:
1) I'm trying to change the position of two different MovieClips instances to the same .x position. It works individually, but as soon as I put this code in, it says that it cannot assign it to a non reference value:
ActionScript Code:
coinArray[1].x && coinShadowArray[1].x = -591.5
2) I have a whole load of variables which are all going to different .x positions at the same event trigger - something similar to this, but there's around 30 of them:
ActionScript Code:
object[1].x = -560
object[2].x = 764.45
object[3].x = 700.45
object[4].x = 740.45

I know this can't be to hard too achieve, but my actionscript skills aren't quite up to it yet.
- I have 5 frames within a MC.
- In this MC there is text saying "center", "left", "right", "up", "down" on each frame.
- All I want to be able to do is make the MC change to frame 3 "right" when my mouse moves to the right of the MC.
I know the script below is wrong, but would it go something like, this. Would I have to use angle and math or is there a simpler way to achieve this?

I got an mc (named "img") on the stage. In order to zoom it, I'm using the following code:
Code:
myZoom = function (myDepth){
if (myDepth == "deep") {
myDepth = 4;
} else if (myDepth == "medium") {
myDepth = 8;
[Code] .....
Problem is, when I release on the mc it changes its original position to X=0,0 Y=0,0 as you can see here. Obviously, I want it to keep its starting position on the stage and zooming in and out from there.
