I'm making an image revealer in flash, but I can't wrap my head around how to constrain the slider bar to the area_mc. Mainly in the mouseMoveHandler. Can someone please give me some pointers?[code]...

I'm trying to create a boundary for a player object, controlled with arrow keys, in my game using the main stage's height and width. For example, one test point is at the top edge of the player object's bounding box so that when the player object's head touches the stage's top edge, the player can't move anymore to the north. The player object is manually instantiated to the center of the stage by using the Flash stage editor so it will start at the center before the program starts.The problem is that right at the start of the program, I can no longer move the player object up or down with the arrow keys but I can still move it left or right. The intention is to allow the player to move north until the player object's head touches the top edge of the main stage.[code]
View 1 RepliesWhat i am trying to do is move a MC around by dragging it, but i dont want the MC to move so far that it could be lost on the stage. i need some sort of parameters so that the MC is always showing. basically i have a large map of the united states and i want to be able to move it around and look at the individual states. the map is much larger than the stage and i am using a mask to clean up the appearance. i just want to make sure that the user cant move the map so far in one direction that it gets lost.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a movieClip that will always stay on a track. You get me, or have a lost you?Picture the London underground map, I want a little circle that will follow the track BUT also follow my cursor.So if I drag the circle to the right it will go to the right but always stay on track even if there are slopes or corners in the track.
View 3 RepliesI know how to set boundaries for a drag and drop, but is it possible to have one of corner of an MC stay anchored, thus forcing the mc to rotate around it like the hands on a clock? (I only need the MC to rotate about 90 degrees).
View 5 RepliesI have an object in my program that you can click drag. However, I want to set a boundary for this object so that you can't drag it outside of a certain area. Using a standard if statement to check the coords of the object and reset them doesn't work as that causes a bouncing effect.
View 3 RepliesI have a movieclip that is locking to mouse center when dragging it. I know how to set up the boundary code, though the movieclip images are different sizes, so didn't want to have to create a custom code such as:t.startDrag(true, 290, 85, 910, 390);for each movieclip.does anyone know how to constrain the draggable item to within the left, top, right, bottom boundaries inside of a movieclip?
View 1 RepliesI'm using a custom drag for easing properties:
ActionScript Code:
var yMouse:Number;
var xMouse:Number;
onEnterFrame = function(){
yMouse = _root._ymouse;
[Code]...
As you can see, I'm trying to prevent it from passing _root.block by only allowing the mouse's Y to be followed when it isn't passing _root.block. The only problem is that once it hits _root.block, there's no way to drag it back from _root.block. It gets stuck. Is there a better way to prevent it from passing _root.block but allow it to be pulled back from _root.block
We are developing our app in flash/flex builder for the front end hitting .NET backend webservices. There is one section of the old app that will not be initially converted, so we need have it appear in an iFrame.
So far all that works fine.We shrink the size of the SWF in the host page to just be the menu/nav area. And underneat that I have an iframe control that loads in this page from the old site.Now the problem. in the SWF is a drop down list to enable picking a client. Since the SWF has been shrunk to about 100px high, the drop-down will only occupy within that 100px area which it's opened. This is NOT good as you can imagine. How can I make the drop-down list descend over-top of the IFRAME control and thus extend outside the SWF dimensions? Is this possible?
I tried to make the internal stage transparent and leave the SWF a little larger, about 400 px high, but the IFRAME still appears behind the SWF.
I have object in which I have rectangle on one layer and following code on another layer:

And Object(this).play() or checking for current frame doesn't work, nor tracing a value define outside the function. How shall I reffer to the movieclip that events is called from?
Basically, the problem I have is that I'd like to limit the predators to their own hunting environment, ie. Polar bear to ice, killer whale to sea so that the penguin has at least some chance of avoiding either predator. My initial idea was to define a boundary (apologies if this isn't the correct terminology) around the ice, thereby achieving what I'd like but I have no idea how to do this. Am I thinking about this too simplistically? Also, I would like the killer whale to retain its ability to swim under the icebergs. Note: As you can probably tell, the killer whale is on the lowest layer below the sea and then the ice is on a layer above the sea.

I want to let the user save some bigger data in a shared object by choice. Is it possible to define the size the user needs to allow?
I'ld like to set the minimum to at least 10 MB to have some extra space for future usage.
I intended to write a script that would create a dynamic guided character motion. The drawing API tut gave me an idea how to do it. I thought I'll write a script that would draw a line (or a curve) and would put it into guided motion layer. So I just wrote it by the tutorial and put it into guided motion layer. Yeah, that was naive.So how do you define where (layer) the script would draw curve/line? How do you define the layer in which the new object would be crated?

I am very new to Flash and I have the following script:
mouseInterval = setInterval(changeAlpha,10);
function changeAlpha(){ fader_mc.alpha = Math.round(root.mouseX/550*100) }
This is simply to change the Alpha of my object as I change the X value of the mouse cursor. I keep getting the following error message:
1120: Access of undefined property mouseInterval
Essentially this is what I want to accomplish, however it doesn't work like this. Is there any solution: - The problem is I can't dynamically name a new object..

View 6 RepliesI have value object that one of its field is meant to be filled trough a dropdown chooser. I'm very new to flex so I'm not sure what is the best way to maintain this field.
Should I make it a simple string in the value object and a table in the DB, and each time I have the dropdown to send a request to read it from the DB? That what I would have done with JS but in flash I thinkl it might be better to somehow keep that information in the flex app instead of keep asking the server to send the names every time.
The field has about six options and it is choosing htat field happens a lot during work with the app.

I have a guide (curve, part of circle) and an object. I want this object to be draggable along the curve.The questions are:1) Is there any easy way like startDrag() function to solve this?2) Any other code? (I guess it should be some Math)I think some relation could be used here. For example, I drag along x, and I get the right y via some sin or cos relation. Or something like that..

I need to know how you drag an object into another object and when the click is released it goes to another frame, and if you release not touching the other object the draggable object will go back to the place it started in

View 2 RepliesI want to create a MovieClip symbol of a certain width and height, but with content that extends outside its boundaries, with the option to have the external content be clipped/hidden or visible.
In Flex, the solution would be to create a group with .clipAndEnableScrolling = true.
Is there a way to do this in Flash CS5, or will the symbol always resolve to the size of its contents?
So this one is a tricky one (for me) vital to the development of my project due to the fact that we can't directly modify the position of mouseX and mouseY - they are read-only variables. Basically, what I want to do is have a player able to move their mouse only within a certain triangular area when a specific instance is active. The latter bit I can manage just fine, however I am having trouble restricting mouse movement -- or apparent mouse movement.
Here's what I have done so far:
1. Assign a library moveclip to the mouseX and mouseY position in the Event.ENTER_FRAME event - although I acknowledge that this should be moved to Mouse.MOUSE_MOVE. (this does not matter yet)
2. Using Corey O'Neils Collision detection kit, do a hit test on the border instances of the area with the crosshair/cursor.
3. Offset the cursor appropriately, and then set a standard Boolean value to false so that the cursor will not keep bouncing back into the cursor over and over.
My problem is, I am not sure what the best way is to go about allowing mouse movement again. For what it's worth, this is to stop users from aiming in an unrealistic direction with a character in a top-down (ish) shooter.
Here is my code regarding mouse movement thus far:
import flash.ui.Mouse;
import flash.events.event
import com.coreyoneil.collision.CollisionList;
Mouse.hide();
var c:crosshair = new crosshair();
addchild(c);
var myCollisionList:CollisionList;
myCollisionList = new CollisionList(c);

Code:
function AddYCoins():void
{
for (var i:int = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
var Ycoin:YCoin = new YCoin();
[Code]...
This function creates 10 instances of my YCoin and places it around the stage. But i wish the coins to only fall in specific areas, (i.e. i have 8 green rectangles, names area1,area2 etc) because the idea is you have to collect the coins but only staying on the green rectangles.
i knows its the stage.stageWidth i need to change but i cant think what to change it too!

I recently posted a .swf inside a new window with javascript. everything works fine on a PC, the movie will load on a mac. You should be able to click and drag to "spin" the object within the movie (it cycles a series of photos to give a 360 view), but when on a mac the cursor changes but images are not cycling. i'm sure it could be a number of different things but I'm unsure where to start.
