Javascript :: Mouse X/Y Detection Within Flash Stage Not Working Moz & Webkit On PC?
Jun 13, 2011
nav item consists of a ball that "follows" the cursor in relation to where it is on the page. JS is used to gather the X/Y info from off the Flash stage and create vars to be used by the Flash movie to move the "orb" in relation to the cursor position. For some reason, FF and Chrome on PC fall short here.I've tried everything from setting the Flash movie to "opaque" and positioning a transparent DIV over it, all to no avail.Any thoughts on this? Has anyone encountered something like this?

What's the correct way to track mouse position, from Adobe Flash, when someone has: Started a drag within the Flash application (a MOUSE_DOWN event), Dragged the mouse outside the app or even the browser window (a MOUSE_MOVE event), and Released the mouse button (a MOUSE_UP event)? For example (imagine Stack Overflow is a Flash application):
Within the app, I'm able to track the mouse X and Y positions with a MOUSE_MOVE event listener, but I lose it when it goes outside of the browser... So, how do I track the position of the mouse no matter where it goes? For a good example, try Google Finance. Try dragging the chart around; it'll still drag around if you move your mouse out of the browser window, and the mouse will be outside of the browser when you release it.
Also, check out KOKO KAKA; If you click on the scrollbar (make the browser window really small) and move outside of the browser window, the scroll bar moves just like a real one would. I believe both only work because the MOUSE_DOWN event "captures" the mouse, allowing the Flash application to track the position of the mouse even when it is outside of the browser.

how to work out the direction of the mouse on stage and say from this:
"if the mouse goes from the left to right (visa-versa) once, add score +1" and "if the mouse speed which is player controlled - slows down - to then display an error graphic"

I have another question which i think is most easily solved by using javascript to find out if flash exist or not and dynamically modify the page. In my case place a placeholder, call jcupload code if flash exist or replace the placeholding div with my html
But the problem is i havent been able to find any javascript functions to tell me if flash is installed. All i found were html that displays alt html if flash isnt shown/enabled.

For flash player detection, I use the following:
- javacript based detection, in index.html
- if player installed, load the actual swf into the the same index.html
- if not, show a few lines of alternative text in the same index.html
- if no javascript, load adobe's flash_AS_detection.swf in the same index.html
- if player installed, load page index_flash.html, which loads actual swf
- if not, load text page index_noflash.html
I have used adobe's Flash Search SDK's swf2html.exe to check that swf links should be viewable by capable search bots. Since the site went live a few days ago, googlebot has logged about 6 access entries. But it reaches only as far as pulling the detection.swf. This alone confirms that google is willing to load swf files. But the lack of entries for my actual swf first also shows that google isn't happy with links within the javascript flash detection code. Index_flash.html and index_noflash.html weren't requested by googlebot at all. I know that after all most people suggest providing a full html alternative site at least for the search bots. But any views on why google doesn't at least try to pull my other html/swfs, after touching the detection.swf?

You can build apps in HTML using Adobe AIR which parses it using Webkit, can this be done in Flash?For example you have a string that contains <html><body><b>hello world</b></body></html> and then call a function that runs the WebKit parser over it and then outputs 'hello world' in bold to the stage?

I have designed a menu that When you mouse over it, a custom cursor appears. When you mouse down it disappears and when you mouse up it returns. If you happen to mouse down and then drag the mouse off of the menu (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up outside the menu, the custom cursor disappears. All good. The only issue is: If you happen to mouse down on the menu and then drag the mouse off of the menu AND off of the stage, i.e the SWF (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up completely off of the stage, the custom cursor appears at the point it left the menu. I have tried to fix this using MOUSE_LEAVE but this dosnt work when the mouse button is pressed down. I have attached an FLA, SWF and the AS below.
Code:
stop();
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

I have a developed a browser-like Mac Desktop app which uses WebKit to render web content. My app links against the standard system WebKit framework (it does not bundle a private WebKit framework).
However, I would like to bundle a private Flash plugin in my app bundle. When my app runs, I would like WebKit to prefer the private Flash plugin in my bundle over any other Flash plugin on the system.
How can I alter WebKit's plugin search path such that my app will load my private Flash plugin bundled with my app?

I'm busy creating a mp3 player (for a music store). Everything works perfectly. Some of the files will be redirected to the original source (located on other server) when Flash wants to load the stream. In all major browsers this works perfectly except Webkit browsers such as Chrome and Safari. I have tried to send a "Moved Permanently" 301 header as well as a normal redirect but does not work. Also when i try to download it from the address bar nothing happen (in other browsers i get a popup to download the stream).

I am trying to get some collision detection working. What I have is a ball moving around the stage. There is a box in the middle which when the ball hits, I would like it to bounce off the box. I can get the x axis working fine using hitTestObject but when I detect for collisions on the y axis, the two axis conflict. Does anyone have a way of doing this properly?[code]

1- i have a circular menu, with a zoom effect when you hover on it, with the home button in the center, when you click the home button you load the page then reload the scene 1 ( menu idle ).If i put nothing on the button itself on the scene 1, before the zoom effect, i need to move out of the button to trigger the other scritp there that detect the rollover and start the zoom in.i want to have a special behavior for the home button on the idle state of the menu ( scene 1 ) , When you click the home button from anywhere else, you load back the page, then because the mouse is already on the home button, i want flash to do nothing, but at the second you start to move the mouse again ( remember you are still on the home button) i want it to start teh zoom effect again, not before.
Right now, it is either no zoom effect as soon the mouse is on top of it, or imediatly zoom in with the rollover....And i know it is possible with a very simple command, but i forgot it... i did it before.2- for the same menu, i will have a sub-menu unfolding when you click a certain button, that sub-menu is outside the main menu detection zone. Is it possible to make a shape, turn the alpha at 0, put it under the sub-menu, and use it as detection zone

I have movieclip working as button. On mouserollover it scales up a square MC. The problem is that this square will cover other buttons when completely scaled up, and the buttons below that won't "work"When going with mouse from button 1 to 3 it works ok, but from 3 to 1 one then the "top-stacked" button will prevent lower buttons from working properly.As you can see I tried
sq.mouseEnabled = false;
sq.mouseChildren = false;

when you have two movieclips and the bounding box of one movieclip is over top of the movieclip below, how do you detect that the mouse is over the bottom movieclip, and ignore the alpha of the upper movieclip.I tried mouseEnabled = true, I tried mouseChildren = true...I can't seem to make the movieclip that is underneath of the bounding box of the upper clip respond to the mouse.
here's a method I put together to tell me what is underneath of the mouse.When I run this, the movieclip on top has its bounding box overlaying another movieclip...the bounding box meaning, and the transparent area of the top movieclips bounding box.This method returns both images when I'm over the bounding box of the top movieclip, yet I'm only over the lower movieclips actual image shape.
I just want to be able to drag that lower movieclip, and write a function that only returns that lower movieclip under it if I'm only on top of the lower movieclip.
var previousOUM:String = "";
function listObjectsUnderMouse(event:Event):void
{
var pointoint = new Point(mouseX, mouseY);

I have a boat which will follow my mouse, which I have got working via the tutorial situated at: [URL]
That's easy enough.
My problem is not making the boat stop if it collides with another movie. You can view what I currently have here:
[URL]
If you look at this movie you will see the boat following your mouse, and I've inserted a basic island on to the stage. What I want to happen is that if the boat touches the island, it stops. so for example if you were moving your mouse right to left across the island, the boat would stop on the right hand side of the island, but if you moved your mouse back to the right, it would move away from the island and follow your mouse.
I'm not too bothered about it detecting certain areas of the boat, the center point is fine.

I have an application where I need to detect if the mouse is less than 200 px from the left sie of the screen, then play an animation... Once the mouse is moved back out of the 200 px area I want the animation to reverse.I'm using the Tween Class for animation and have been messing around with onclipevents with no luck like:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(_xmouse <= 200)
{
_root.theSwitch = "on";
[code]....
This will obviously produce a million "on" traces when the mouse is over there - what is the best method for detecting the change once, setting a variable, then playing the animation?

I have an image gallery thats a group of links that plays on a timeline. It scrolls and repeats, giving a smooth continuity. I've set up and ENTER_FRAME event to a listener of the stage, a Boolean variable based on mouseY conditionals for true and false, and passed a true value to mouseX conditionals that controls the timeline with prevFrame() and nextFrame() methods.
All is fine in the original swf, but once I load it into my flash page those mouseX and mouseY values no longer represent the stage upon which the swf was originally created, that stage doesn't exist. Instead its new parents stage has spanned those parameters far across the page, even making it possible to control playback outside of the page itself. How can I either separate the swf's stage from its parent or re-establish the parameters I had originally set for it?
This is the code for both, First is the Flash Page, the SWF in question is highlighted,
Code:
var swfRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("NewsandLinks.swf");
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
swfLoader.load(swfRequest);
