Actionscript - StartDrag Event On Movie Click Only Drags One Layer Flash ?
Jun 29, 2010
I have a problem with the startDrag function I'm using in AS3. Right now I have a movie clip which is made up of 4 different layers. I export the movie clip, create and object of it, add in an event listener for mouse clicks that calls the startDrag function. However, instead of dragging the entire Movie Clip and all of its parts, it only grabs and drags one layer around, which breaks the different parts of the Movie Clip up.
public function HopperMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void
{
event.target.startDrag(true); //start dragging tile[code].....
This is my function for the MouseClick event on the MovieClip. I initiate the startDrag event, but here it will not drag the entire Move Clip for some reason it only drags the different pieces inside the clip.

I want to have layer pop in my flash movie that allows the user to click and drag it around the screen. I also want this to have minimize, maximize, and close buttons on it.

In the game spank the monkey, how would I achieve the drag and drop functionality of the game? specifications: Press the hand to enable drag and drop As soon as user drags the hand out of the flash movie, the hand is released, despite whether or not the user's mouse is still pressed.If the user's mouse is still pressed even after coming back to the flash screen the hand does not respond until pressed again.I tried multiple things but to no avail.
One of my attempts involved having a constant onMouseMove event handler that flagged a "out_of_bound" area, but mc.onPress = function(){ //drag } does not respond after the initial press.

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?

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.

my_x = 800 - myImage.width;
my_y = 480 - myImage.height;

Im creating a program that is designed to allow the used to select 3 pictures (movie clips) and print them off on a single peace of paper.
The program works by allowing the user to select 3 graphics (the graphics are actually instructions for various exercises) and then moving the desired movieclips onto the stage. This all happens on a layer named "Content"
So far the program will allow the user to select the movieclips and will move them into place on the Content layer as well as move smaller versions of the pictures into a preview box the only thing it does not do is print. (the most important bit)

I'm making a desktop application with Flash and MDM Zinc and I've made a menu that works with both mouse and keyboard event. The only problem is that when I run my movie, it won't accept any keyboard event until I click once anywhere on my movie. Searching these forums yesterday I came across a javascript solution, but this is only when putting the movie on a web page.

I need to catch a hover event on top of a flash object, so I set the wmode and created an invisible div on top of it to attach the event listeners to. Thing is, I can't click the flash object. The cover is swallowing the clicks, and the things I've tried to go around this have made a mess of the hover events. This is the 30th problem I ran into in 2 days time and it's driving me crazy xD.

I'm trying to create a little game in with AS2 that makes the user hit targets. When a target has been hit, the scores amend accordingly (1 point is added to the score). Some of these targets are static, so I have made them buttons. Others are supposed to be moving around the stage, so they're movie clips. Now, with the buttons, my script works beautifully: The scores amend every time I release the button, just as I want them to. I have tried making the movie clips perform the same actions and have succeeded partly, BUT:
1) When I click on a movie clip, the scores will amend only once (i.e. the first time I click on the clip). No matter how many more times I consecutively click on it, nothing happens. It only changes the scores again when I click on another button or other item on the stage and then go back and click on the mc. But I want the movie clip to react the same as the buttons, i.e. add 1 point every time I click on it. (Consecutive clicks = points added consecutively according to number of clicks)
2) When I try to go from the button to the movie clip and then back to the button, the scores should amend automatically with EVERY click. But what happens is, for instance: I click on the movie clip and +1 is added to the score. Then I click on a button - and actually, what it should do is add another +1 as soon as I go and click on that button. But it doesn't. It does not react when I switch from clicking on mc to clicking on button. After having clicked on the mc, I have to click on the button *two* times in order to make it work, because it will not react upon the first click.

I am trying to learn JavaScript and I am wondering whether JavaScript has a event listener just like ActionScript's ENTER_FRAME. Basically, I want this event listener to listen "all the time" not just wait for any particular instance (mouse click, keyboard event) of event.

I have a Flash movie that is embedded in an HTML page that has a DIV in a layer over the top of the movie. The Flash movie scrolls based on the mouse position over the movie. The client wants the scrolling to stop when the mouse is over the DIV. I've tried using the mouseLeave event, but that is not triggered by the DIV.
Is there a way that the Flash movie can detect when the mouse is over the DIV?[code]...

I've got a small table populated with information from a database that I'm trying to deploy as a table above a flash movie.
Here's the DIV ID for this:
However, no matter what I do the table keeps displaying BEHIND the flash images. The table is in a layer set an visability at 1 while the flash is set at 0.
And if you information for both mac and pc platforms even better.

I keep hearing about using a big invisible button on the top layer of your flash movie when you want any click to take you to another website for example. But what Ive done is a little different. My very BOTTOM layer is a background gradient, which is obviously not invisible. In my actionscript I have Gradient.onRelease = function () {getURL... etc etc This seems to work on my computer. The question is, is this a bad practice? Will this fail on some versions of flash players/browsers? Is the invisible button method better? It just seems dumb to do the invisible button thing when i have a perfectly sized background gradient that seems to work.

I'm making a game where I have units that can move from square to square kind of like a game of risk but with squares.I want the units to be able to be dragged from one square to another.When I use the startDrag function on my unit it disapears.[code]so my workers show up in the square just fine.they just disapear when I drag them.some other minor details are:everything is in a big main MovieClip, class Square extends MovieClip and there is a .jpg on the bottom on the main MC.so the child level order is .jpg, then Squares, then the squares have Units (if they have units).Units are added to the Squares not the main MC.

So, can I access layers on this MainTimeline to get all Movie Clips on this layer ? So I can do a simple operation "A_1_2.buttonMode = true;" to all my MC's (in an array for example) without writing every line (lot of MC's on layer and lot of lines).

I just started playing around with as3 and I have a function for mouse clicks that draws a shape on each click. However the mouse click event does not appear to work unless I click a movieClip object I placed in the middle of the screen. Is there a way to make the mouse click event recognize when I click anywhere on the screen?

I'm writing a FlashLite ActionScript2 piece of code. I have a series of textfields that are dynamically created and displayed on screen. I then wish to drag each of these textfields around. To achieve this I used some code from another flash site for dragging and dropping. I have two problems:
1) The txtMovies are dynamically allocated so each as a number appended to it, i.e. txtMovie0, txtMovie1 and so on. I can't figure out how to assign these in a non hardcoded fashion within a loop i.e.
object_array[0] = ("txtMovie"+i);
When I do this, it doesn't work. I think it's because it's not an object but a string. I tried using Object as a prefix to the part in brackets, tried [ ] etc... but couldn't get it to work.
2) In the function fnTxtMovieOnRelease I'd like to access the parameters (i.e. .text) of the selected text movie but, I don't know how to access it. I have no idea how to detect which of the movies are selected and thus access their individual text strings. I've tried to pass a parameter to the fnTxtMovieOnPress function but this then stops that code from working and I really don't know why.

The bug is:
If you press left click and dont release it, and then press right click (contextual menu appears) and then left click again, the first "drag" action is never released.
Its like, I need to make that my right click says: "hey left click, your job is done, you can go home now".
