Actionscript 3 :: Find MovieClip Under MovieClip Being Dragged?
Feb 23, 2012I have a function dragging movieClips on the stage which pass over other movieClips which I'd like to identify somehow.
Is there a "built-in" way to do this in AS3?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Need Movieclip To Lock Into Place Once Dragged?
Aug 20, 2009what I have are pieces of a truck and the user needs to be able to drag and drop the pieces to the correct locations. I can get the pieces to drag, but I need help locking them into place once they get within a certain area. So for example if they drag and drop the wheels of the truck towards the back, but not in the exact location, then the movieclip will move and lock into place and then the movieclip becomes disabled.

Jan 21, 2011How can we find out a moving movie clip's angle. I'm trying to make a shooting game in as3, I need to know the angle of the movieclip(bullet) when it gets hits on the wall. i.e., I have a movieclip named "ball", and which is moving with some speed and the coordinates are initially created by the gun's positions.
Code:
var angle:Number = gun.rotation - 1;
var bubbleX:Number = gun.x-130* Math.cos(angle * Math.PI / 180);
var bubbleY:Number = gun.y-130 * Math.sin(angle * Math.PI / 180);
var ball:MovingBall = new MovingBall();
ball.x = bubbleX;
I need to know, what is the angle of "ball" after it hitting the boundary areas..
Professional :: Unable To Change/find Instance Of Movieclip?

A seperate movieclip named page4 shows in the library to have 6 uses. On the clip are two text boxes both static and one has a movieclip button overlayed. Selecting any of the three changes the propery panel for allowing editing. However. Even though I can see the reference point (the cross) of the movieclip page4, I can find no way to get flash (CS5) to show me the properties to allow giving it an instance.
Actionscript :: Cannot Find Referenced MovieClip In Parent.insertMovieClip()?
Apr 6, 2012orgive me if there is an extremely simple answer to this question. I am currently updating a series of .fla files that someone else created. Within one of the symbols is the following code: this.insertMovieClip("symbolName","objectReferenceName",5);
I understand what the code is doing, or rather what it would do normally. It would find a symbol named symbolName in the library, and create an instance of it named objectReferenceName inside this MovieClip.The problem is that I have searched the library, and I can't find anything named symbolName. It doesn't exist.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Packages Can't Find Button Inside A Movieclip?
Mar 5, 2010I tried this one [URL] and it works. All I need to do now is to put it NOT in the timeline but inside a movieclip.
It works well when the button is on the timeline but when it's inside a movieclip, the packages can't even find it.
Any idea how the packages can find the button that is inside a movieclip?
Yes. I know the import and include commands. What I want to know is the directory (or Parent-Child) of AS3 Packages.

View 2 RepliesActionscript :: MovieClip Replacement That Converts An Existing Imported MovieClip To A Sequence Of BitmapData
Jun 22, 2011I've written a simple MovieClip replacement that converts an existing imported MovieClip to a sequence of BitmapData. This removes the requirement for Flash to render vector data in the MovieClip on each frame.
But BitmapData has a huge memory footprint. I've tried converting the BitmapData to a ByteArray and using the compress() method. This results in a significantly smaller memory footprint. But it has proven impractical. For each redraw, I tried uncompressing()'ing the ByteArray, then using SetPixels to blit the data to the screen, then re-compressing() the frame. This works but is terribly slow.
So I was wondering if anybody else has an approach I could try. In Flash, is it possible to compress bitmap data in memory and quickly blit it to the screen?
I wonder how native animated GIFs work in Flash. Does it uncompress them to BitmapData behind the scenes, or is frame decompression done on the fly?
