Actionscript 3 :: Drag An Object In A Line That Is Not Vertical Or Horizontal?
May 10, 2011
I would like to drag an object in one line. I already know how to do this in a horizontal or vertical line
Here's how I do this
private var handle:Sprite;
private function init():void
{
handle = new Sprite();
[Code].....
But I want do drag my object in a line that isn't horizontal or vertical.
For example, I would like to drag the object from the top left corner to the bottom right corner, in one straight line.
I tried to rotate the bounds rectangle, but it seems that you can not rotate a Rectangle.
How do I drag an object in a non-vertical (or non-horizontal) line?
i am trying to take photos using webcamera from online web application and i got sample code from [URL] It is working fine to take photos online with the attached web camera and saving it into server for future purpose. Here my problem is i want to keep horizontal and vertical lines on top of the camera area but what ever line i am placing all displaying behind the video area and camera area is displaying ontop of all layers.
i am trying to work out how i can make a movieclip move around the stage to set/predefined positions on the stage when a button/s are clicked - an move in a horizontal or vertical direction only.
i worked out how to make an mc move around to set positions in any direction (horizontal/vertical/45 degrees etc...) but now i need to refine it to horizontal and vertical only.
I need a script that will let a user scroll a movieclip Horizontally AND Vertically. Just like a regular vertical scrollbar which u always see, it has an up arrow and down arrow. i need that, as well as a right and left arrow.i have a big image file, and i want to mask it, and let users scroll thru it up down right and left.
I went through the tutorial on the website to create a slideshow using xml linked images. My problem is I want to use it for Horizontal and Vertical pictures both.All images align at top left of the loader box making one or the other offcentered.
1.) Is there a simple way around this?
2.) Is there a way to get the xscale or yxcale to determine whether the image loading is vertical or horizontal and then based on that to have an If statement and load all Horizontal images into a one movieclip and all others(vertical) into another movieclip.
I`ve been trying this tutorial [URL] , but what I need is to make it run vertically... What i tried is to change _x with _y and xMove with yMove and if there is somewhere else X to Y (i dont remember the code) ... the result .. it didn`t work :S Is it possible to make it run vertically?
I am attempting to modify an example file that I found from a vertical to horizontal scroller. I changed the movie clip to horizontal, what I need to change to get the arrows to scroll the movie clip horizontally.
I want my page to be covered with thumbnails (not just in a row) then when you click on a thumbnail the image will open up either vertical or horizontal on top of the thumbnails. How can I do this without scripting or does anyone know of a simple way to do this with either Flash or another Product?
I've got a three year old site in actionscript 2 and something odd happened today.I had to change something in the fla, tested the swf and uploaded it to the server. When I test the swf in flash or just open it manually, all is fine, texts are okay.But whenever it's in a htmlpage (using swfobject or the standard flash method), all the multiline textfields turn from horizontal to vertical expanding text, so a large column of 1 character.Even my backup site acts the same way. It's driving me crazy. And my client.I installed a couple of new browsers a couple of days ago, and I remember I had to update my flashplayer. Maybe this is relevant? I just don't know.
'm working on a menu system for our website - the menu, as is, is similar to the one found on macromedia.com (the main menu and the submenu laid out horizontally across the screen). how do i make it so that the submenu is vertical and located under the appropriate menu heading? Here's the AS that I used:
Code: _global.navXPos = 20; var root_mc:MovieClip = this; //
I have used the simple custom scrollbar on previous websites and it works great, but now I am needing to make the scrollber horizontal instead of verticle. I switched all of the x axis and y axis and all of the heights and widths. The scrollbar scroll left to right fine but I have 2 problems:
1. The content within the movie clip does not move when you try and scroll
2. When you grab the slider instead of using the scroll left and right buttons the slider moves vertically instead of horizontally.
I have a problem with which I'm struggeling. I tried dearching for the solution, but the search was unlucky. My problem is that I want to build my stie like a cross (with only the centered page visible) and then, through a mouseclick, let the page move to the center position. To do this I want to incomrporate a horizontal and vertical action tween. However if I do this with the code below, it only tweens the y tween. How can I get flash to execute both tweens?
Code: menu_1.onRelease = function (){ function tween() { var xPosT:Tween = new Tween(object, "_x", Strong.easeOut, object._x, 0, 1, true)}; function tween() { var yPosT:Tween = new Tween(object, "_y", Strong.easeOut, object._y, 0, 1, true)}; }
I've tried to use the "Simple Custom Scrollbar" tutorial to create a horizontal scrollbar instead of the vertical. I've changed the defenitions like this:
scrolling = function () { var scrollWidth:Number = scrollTrack._Width; var contentWidth:Number = contentMain._Width;
[Code]....
I put the "Width" instead of the "height", and "x" instead of "y". What I've got is when I push on the "scrollFace" button it slides but disappears immidietly, and the the image (which is "movieclip" as well) beneath the masked area freezes.
* In addition - I have to make this scrollbar move from right to left - Is there any additional defenitions I must concern?
Is there any script available to scroll a movie vertical and horizontally by adding a mask. The visible area can be scrolled vertically and horizontally.
I'm attempting to switch the scroller I found on here from vertical to horizontal.
I got the movie clip to movie from left to right, but it doesn't seem to recognize how long the movie clip is now, because it stops before the whole movie clip is scrolled....see attached...
I have a canvas lets say the size of it on the screen is 500x500. But I want the actual canvas size to be 1000x500 making the other half scrollable. How can I make a blank canvas with that specification?
How do you set stage.align to center (vertical and horizontal)? StageAlign only defines corners and edges, but I know that centered is possible because that's the default behavior?
change into a horizontal menu format. Script was from kirupa forum and it is called 'flashnav' and it reads 'images.xml' . Its a great script but only if it couild me converted to display horizontally.
I've been struggling with a horizontal scroll bar controlling vertical content movement. Can anyone help me? I'm using AS2 in CS3 and I have tried the search function....in vail..
I need to detect vertical and horizontal move of the mouse pointer to drag vertical or horizontal group of objects but I don't know how to define the if statement
PHP Code:
b1_mc.buttonMode = true; var draggingFlag:Boolean = false; b1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDragging);

I am trying to have a tool-tip in Flex 3, where in when my mouse is over the some value, it should show a tool-tip just like you get it for any classes in Eclipse IDE. Suppose, your mouse is over word "String" in java, you get a tool-tip stating the description of java.lang.String and its syntax. It also allows to copy the contents. Is it possible to create such a tool-tip in Flex 3 ? I want this kind of tool-tip to appear, and when pressed F2, it should have horizontal and vertical scroll bars and we should be able to copy the contents from tool-tip.
I have designed a horizontal scrolling menu that currently contains buttons that load external swfs when pressed. Works great.What I'd like to do is have the buttons open vertical drop down menus instead of loading external files.
I finished Kirupa's tutorial on the "Sliding Menu" .The tutorial shows how to make the movie clip slide on the horizontal (x) but how do I configure the code to use both horizontal and vertical (y)? Do I just add a dest=" _root.ynew ;" and "pos = this.y ;" some how to this code?
stop () ; MovieClip.prototype.move2 = function () { dest = _root.xnew ;[code]......
