Flash :: Create A Continuous Fire Effect On Mouse Click?
Apr 27, 2011
When someone "click and holds" I want to fire off function over and over, say, once every 100ms while the mouse is clicked. Instead of MouseEvent.CLICK I would look for MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN and then start a timer on that event function that calls another function every 100ms. Then, on MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP I would stop the timer. Am I on the right track? Will I be able to get updated X and Y coordinates while the mousedown event is firing?
I'm working for a client that wants me to create an interactive map, which I can zoom in/out, move the map around, have a minimap guide, and other goodies. I've got the bulk of it created, but I got stuck trying to create a gamepad type controller which the user can click on, and it will move the map.
What I'm trying to do is this: The gamepad graphic I created is like a typical Playstation/X-box style thumbpad controller. There are an up, down, left, and right arrows graphic which the user can click to make the map go up, down, etc. (I have created code to let the users use the keyboards, in case they don't want to use the graphics)
Is it possible to create a continous movement when the mouse is pressed, or will my poor user be stuck clicking the mouse ad-nauseum?

I'm using Javascript's mouse event to pass information about mouse position to flash and show the specific animation frame depending on mouse position.
The problem is, when mouse is over flash object, it doesn't fire javascript event anymore. I've tested it on Chrome and it seems to be working, but Firefox doesn't want to cooperate.
My flash object is located in the middle of website and has transparent background. It has to stay this way. Also, I'd rather not move the action to the ActionScript for two reasons:
Website's width is not constant (different browsers for example) so I'd have to push viewport's width to the flash too, which will complicate the script, also mouseenter events etc. I don't know AS very well.
The code: (I'm using jQuery here because it's also used somewhere else on the page, previous mockup used plain JS)
Can anyone recommend the best way to achieve the following continuous scroll effect - I want to simulate a circular room with 12 (numbered) doors in it. There are 'sights' over the 3 middle doors. The sights remain in the same place, but when you press the left or right arrow key the clip of the 12 doors scrolls in that direction and stop at the next door. When you scroll to the right of door 12, door 1 then becomes visible again.

I was actually trying to create an easing effect that bases on the movement of the mouse, very similar to:[URL]how i could actually write an actionscript to create this "esaing" ability...I have actually attached my own file for your convience, and i really really really hope you guys could assist me in this area!
it might sound weird but what i need is... Create a movieclip, with an instance name, when i click with my mouse left button, anywhere i click! i don't even know if it's possible(Anyway if you wonder why i need this, i'll explain:in a certain level of my game, you play with a m�ssile launcher, and there's enemies in front of you, when you "fire" against them, (so, when you left click) your pointer (or mouse arrow) create's a movieclip that is an explosion, and, if this explosion hit's the enemies, they die
I write some working code that creates a circle on mouse click with a radius of 5 and with a random colour each time...I have the code to create the circle and the code for the random colour here:
var myColour:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*0xFFFFFF); this.graphics.beginFill(myColour); this.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 10); this.graphics.endFill();
Essentially I want to create a Flash application that places random coloured circles with a radius of 5 on the stage with a centre location of the mouse position each time a user clicks.
I want to create a class where when you mouse click on an instance of it, all other instances are notified about this click.
I want this functionality to be inside the class so there wll be no need to write any code outside the class definition, like assigning listeners to all instances and such.I wrote the following code but the event I dispatch doesn't get catched.
package sample{ import flash.events.EventDispatcher; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.events.Event; public class labels extends MovieClip { var dispatcher:EventDispatcher = new EventDispatcher(); public function labels() { this.buttonMode = true;
i'd like to create a single movieclip that responds to the same input (mouse click) in two different ways: if playhead is on frame labeled "one" go to frame labeled "two", otherwise if playhead is on frame labeled "two" go to frame labeled "one". i've tried if/else and switch statements with no success - what's a good approach to doing this?

I have an swf converted from powerpoint, the version is in flash 8, and i want to fire a click event on that swf to advance in the slides, how can i perform this action?
I am making a custom scrolling list (smart phone like) in actionscript 3 and have the parent contianer catch mouseEvents for MOUSE_UP and MOUSE_ DOWN.Sometimes the mouse up event is missed, maybe one in 20. Does this happen if the events fire to rapidly? I do not want to use the MOUSE_ CLICK event beacuse if the mouse pointer moved at all I want the list to scroll and not catch a Click event.[code]Can I somehow ensure that all events are fired?Or if not can I somehow get mouse button states directly from flash? Not via the mouse event object, but in onEnterFrame().
I am hoping someone has a quick answer for me on this. I am trying to handle a drag event when the cursor leaves the stage. Should be fairly simple with Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, but I am having unexpected difficulties.with:
Code: this.stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE,this.mouseDragReleaseHandler); I never reach the code in mouseDragReleaseHandler
I have the following code which causes a movieclip to scroll horizontally either left or right based on where the mouse location is, and stops it at the extents of the movie clip:
I'm working on a school project. Below is an image of what I am working on. My cursor in this movie is the heart. When I move my mouse over Hello Kitty she jumps -- but only once. How can I get her to keep jumping when my mouse is over her, and make her stop jumping when I pull away?
Also, because I am new to ActionScript I might have messed up with the motion of the animation. Hello Kitty used to jump continuously without me doing anything. Then I copied the motion code into my ACTIONS layer and put stop(); in the Hello Kitty object code. So, she doesn't jump all the time anymore, just when my mouse moves over her... but she only jumps once and that is the problem. I want her to keep jumping as long as my mouse is over her.
I have an itemRenderer custom component inline of my DataGrid component. I need to have an event fire in the containing class (at the same level as the DataGrid) when the checkbox is checked or unchecked (in the itemRenderer component). How would I do this?
My document class is Controller It's constructor addChilds an instance of MenuScreen
MenuScreen has 1 button called 'gallery'. Clicking on it removes the MenuScreen from the document class and adds galleryScreen to the Document class.
After the galleryScreen becomes a child of the document class I add a keyevent listener like so:
ActionScript Code: stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler); Here's a snippet of keyDownHandler: ActionScript Code: public function keyDownHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void{
[Code]....
The Problem is: 1) I'm pressing LEFT arrow key like mad and nothing happens UNTIL I left click anywhere on the screen, THEN keyDownHandler works.
I have a Flash-based SWFUpload upload button in a HTML page. I am trying to style that button. SWFUpload provides a Javascript setup interface to the Flash button's settings. I don't have Flash myself, so I have to work with the pre-compiled SWF file.
How do I detect the enter key being pressed on my button and fire the click event handler? (For example on a TextInput field there is an 'enter' event).
