I have a flash cs3 file where I want a mask to move on the y axis (up and down) when the user is scrolling over the navigation area.
In my code, I have:
maskMC.startdrag();
How do I limit the area where the mask will move, then make it return it back to it's original position when the user moves away from the specific area (in this case the navigation).
I have a Flash interaction where I exchange the cursor for a hand holding a flashlite mc. The entire stage is black. The cursor drags a mask around that illuminates a small image in another mc on the stage that the user has to find (illuminate).2 problems
1. When the mouse is rolled outside the stage, the custom cursor is still visible.
2. When imported into Captivate 3, and I move outside the stage and over buttons for navigation, the cursor is no longer visible, for the rest of the Captivate movie.
Desired functionality:Custom cursor to be visible only when on the stage area and the normal cursor to be visible outside the stage area. The stage area is 400x330.[code]
I'd like to be able to use a pencil image (custom cursor?) to draw in a defined area - its the 'ol pencil drawing a line idea on a pad. I don't know how to define the area? I've tried creating either a btn or mc instance called pad_mc & trying rollOver/Out which confines the pen but not the line. This is what I have so far, which works (ie it draws the line) but obviously it goes everywhere, not just over the mc of the pad.
Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("Line",1);
Line.lineStyle(1, 0x666666, 65);
onMouseDown = function () {
Mouse.hide();
pen_mc.startDrag(true);
[Code] .....
Also, I've got an onClipEvent on my pen_mc to try & define where its allowed to be dragged.
I have a custom cursor in my Flash document. Now that it is all set up, I want to specify an area that it can be in and nowhere else. Basically, I want to keep it in my navigation area on the top of the stage and not be able to go below it to the rest of the stage.I don't know if it will help or not, but I have the following as my custom cursor code:[code]

How it can be done?let suppose text length in text area is 50 characters, i want to allow editing if cursor position is less than 15, and if cursor position in text area is greater than 15 it should not allow user to add more text in text area.If user press any key it should not add any character in text area.[code]

Im trying to think how i fix this problem. i have a map at the stage and its big, i need to click and move it. But when i get the final of the image, i continue move it and appears the stage.
How i lock the image when it get the final to dont appear the stage? the cod that im using is:

map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, drop)
function drag (e:Mouse Event)

I have a code that i took from a file and i would like to modify one thing. The code below allows mouse movements to scroll multiple layers at different paces. The problem is that i want to limit the mouse movement area to just a center rectangle and not the entire stage. Is there something in the code below that would allow me to "define an area" for mouse movements to activate the layer scrolls.[code]
View 9 Repliesi got a fullscreen museum installation with a trackball input.all the menu controls are limited to a strip in the bottom 90 pixels, so i want the cursor to be limited to this area.something like this, prehaps:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, limitMe);
function limitMe(e:MouseEvent):void {if (stage.mouseY>940){mouseY=940};if (stage.mouseY<850){mouseY=850)};}
the problem of course is that mouseY cannot be set
I've made a big empty circle, made it into an MC and it has the instance name of "MC"
I've made a small circle, made it into an MC and it has the instance name of "button". It's placed in the center of the big MC. The button MC has 2 frames, one with the small circle being in the middle, the other one with the small circle being at the edge with a pin under it.
I can't figure out how to do this, which is: when the user grabs the small circle, he can only move it around in circle at a fixed distance from the center of the big MC, thus not leaving the big mc area. When the user starts dragging the button, it should go to frame 2 in the button.
What I try to do here is a joystick, when the user releases the mouse, the joystick head goes back to the middle. When dragging the joystick head, the stuff on frame 2 inside the buttom mc should be rotated having the bottom of the stick fixed to the middle of the big circle.
Here's sadly the only code I have:
Actionscript Code:
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownEvent);button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpEvent);function mouseDownEvent(e:MouseEvent):void {

I have a s:TileGroup as follows:
<s:TileGroup id="myTileGroup"
clipAndEnableScrolling="true" focusEnabled="true"
horizontalGap="4"
[Code]....
As items are added to the TileGroup it "overflows" its' bounds, items are displayed below, and when scrolled above, the 3x3 grid.
Is there a way to "mask" or otherwise hide these items?
I looking at the properties of TileGroup, I've tried to emplement the "verticalScrollPosition" and "bottom" properties - these don't do it.
Setting the "height" property effectively creates a bottom limit for the group, but when scrolled items are still displayed above the "padding" area.
I'm working with a site and I have a problem with one of the swf. The site is a group of some swf's (the root swf, where I call the menu, section1, section2, etc.). There is another swf, a banner. In this swf, I have a butterfly following the cursor. The problem is that it follows through the entire site and not just the banner limits.
View 3 RepliesI made the tutorial for the Infinite menu. The menu in reality goes from the left edge to the right edge of the stage, but I have masqued it so that it only appears on the left side of the stage where I want it to be. I also changed the anchorpoint of the animation, so that the anchor is on the midpoint of the left half of the stage, instead of the midpoint of the whole stage. Everything works, but when you drag the mouse over the right side of the stage where the menu is hidden, the scrolling increases in speed.
Is there a way of telling the mouse pointer action to stop when the mouse reaches a certain part of the stage, instead of at the actual edge of the stage?

I am using a movie clip with graphics as a cursor.
However, it appears that the actual 'hit' area of the movie clip is related to specifically the normal arrow cursor.
I would like to be able to define an area of the graphic, in this case it's a hand holding a billy club so I'd like just the tip of the billy club the 'hit area.'
Is this possible via AS2.0?
I'm trying to make a movie clip follow my mouse. I have that working. But I want to designate a specific area where this the following of the cursor happens. Outside of this area the house would be visible and functional normally. startDrag("myMovieclip", true);
Mouse.hide();
I want to zoom the area wherever my cursor is placed. I don't want all the area to be zoomed. How can I achieve this?
View 5 RepliesMy problem is that my final .swf is embedded onto an html page and stretches for the entire width of the users screen. This means that if they have a particularly high resolution, the width of the .swf file stretches significantly beyond the initial stage settings. I'm okay with this, as I really need the .swf to fill the width of the screen.
However, it means that the cursor is able to be pointed more than 100% left or right of the stage, causing the panning image to move further left or right than it should.
What I need to know is how to get around this. I'm assuming I could set a boundary at the left and right of the stage where the code wouldn't be active?
Here's my code:
Code:
this.onMouseMove = function() {
constrainedMove(bg_mc, 4, 1);
constrainedMove(fg_mc, 4, 1);

View 1 RepliesI've created a widget that that, on roll over, starts an animation and allows the user to jump to a url on clicking the widget. It all works well, except that the whole stage area (209x204 pixels) is sensitive to the roll, and I want to somehow make a specific target area start the animation on roll over.
I've tried putting it into another button and adding a hit state to the button, which did create the specific area I was aiming for, but prevented the movie from playing, creating a weird 'stutter' of the cursor.
