Is it possible to detect if the user moves their mouse away from the flash file that is currently playing?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to have a very simple functionality added to MC's on the stage. Probably should have read more tuts on the subject, but I seem to be stuck in my newbieness.Here's what I'm trying to do. I have several MC's on stage. Every time a mouse rolls over I want each MC to goAndPlay frame in that MC. I put all the MCs in the array. Here's the code
ActionScript Code:
var movies:Array = [movie1_mc, movie2_mc, movie3_mc, movie4_mc];
function overClip(event:MouseEvent):void

I have a button, in default, and rolled over state, it has Movie Clips. however, when entering the scene, the Movie Clip in default state of a button is playing. what I want to do, is to somehow stop the movieclip, and have it played ONLY when mouse rolls out of button. So put in simply, Movieclip is frozen in button, point on a button, leave button, movieclip plays. Is it possible? P.S. This is what I have right now [URL]

View 1 RepliesI am trying to activate a rollOver-function when the mouse rolls over a movieclip inside of a movieclip.On the main window (root), first you rollOver a button where a window shows up with more options (movieclips).From stage, my first movieclip is called "catapultas_read_more" which leads to amother movieclip called "pic1_mc". The label that is going to play when mouse over on pic1_mc is "rollOn".I tried this.gotoAndPlay("rollOn); directly inserted to the movieclip, but the movieclip inside pic1_mc never starts
View 8 RepliesI have a movie clip that scrolls side to side when you rollover it but when the mouse is off it continues to scroll - I need the movieclip to slow to a stop when the mouse rolls of the movieclip. I've have been playing arounds with the hitest code (red) but this does not fix it... Its prolly a simple problem - I am not much of a coder....

I have a MovieClip that contains a GIF bitmap that is a non-rectangular object (e.g. a star). All the pixels outside of the star are Transparent. Is there a way I can somehow programmatically limit Mouse events to fire only when the mouse cursor is within the star region (but not in the rest of the transparent rectangular area)?
View 6 Replieshow i could make a mouse over masking effect with a button.[URL] their buttons on the left.
View 8 Replieshow to make it work.I have 3 layers.
1. top layer is an image of a cell phone with a blank screen (where I'd like the mask to be utilized)
2. the mask... which is paired with the cell phone image above.
3. the main/maskable image, which is only revealed by the cell phone's screen.
4. the very bottom image, visible all the time.
I need the base layer image (#3) to be static, and I need the top two layers to be able to follow the same mouse x/y coordinates. So far, I've only known how to have the mask and the masked image be one together, rather than be able to move the mask independently of the image I want to mask.
In my isometric flash game I have some models with long shadows. I want to ignore the mouse events (move, click, down and up) when the user performs any action on the shadow part of the image. (see sample image) I know there is a way we can do it by creating a mask in flash. But what if I want to handle it on the .png images (bitmap)? Do I need to create a mask image for all such images? I think it will be very big deal unless there are easy ways (using tools in Photoshop).

I am learning to flash ,and found thing I could not understand it very well.I made a Text masking:following mouse, just two layers totally,in the first layer, I input some words , and then created the second layer ,but I defined the second one as Mask layer,and draw a circle on it.of course I converted it from picture to MC named Mask. at this point, I faced the troubles, when key the codes "startDrag ("mask",ture") into the second layer,it works, but I thought it should work in the MC, I mean I right clicked the MC-mask,and then chose the action and also input the codes ,but I got the warning like this "this code must exsit in the on/onClipEvent ",and ok , I just add the onClipEvent,but still not work.

View 4 Repliesi have an ad that when the page loads, it can have 15secs of animation and then stop. the animation can only be started again if the user rolls over the ad but has to stop and go back to the end of the animation if they rolls off the ad.
i know the basics of Flash and the part that's giving me the trouble is the roll off the ad.
I added a flv to my flash via: "File">"Import">"Import Video">"Load external video with playback component"Then it loads my flv and puts it on the first frame. How can I make it so that when I mouse over it it plays and when my mouse off it stops?
View 2 RepliesI am looking for real simple scripting - I have a 15-25 frame flash tweened animation and all I would like to do is run thru the animation once then on mouse click go to frame one and start again. And of course I am under a time crunch and completely fogged with actionscript 3.0. I did some basic projects back in the director days and thought I could just pick up where I left off. If I remember right it was simple scripting like
gotoFrame
and
pause
etc...

I am trying to get an interval to start if the mouse is idle after a few minuets. The objective is once a user begins to use the flash program and stops the program will jump back to the main scene after a few moments of the mouse being idle. The interval also needs to stop and reset if the user begins moving the mouse again. This is my code thus far.
var duration:Number = 300000;
var myInter:Number = setInterval(backtomain, duration);
function backtomain():void {
gotoAndPlay(1, "Scene 10");
clearInterval(myInter);
}
I am also up for learning the Timer Class if that is my only option.
I'm trying to make a movieclip rotate around it's center (this is no problem since the center will never change). The problem that I am having is when I press the movieclip, in let's say the bottomright corner, and move the mouse the movieclip flips to a certain angle depending on my mouseposition. After the weird flip it works fine but it's the initial mouse click that makes the movieclip flip to an angle.I've tried playing around with different values to substract or add the starting angle but eveytime the result is not what i am looking for.Current code:

I have created an animation by making a series of frames. So now I have a FLA file with the frames in.So far, so good.I can export this as a movie and create a SWF file.I can use this SWF file in a HTML document and get it to display in the browser.This is where I hit a brick wall. I have done a lot of searches but I am getting something wrong. I need to adjust this FLA/SWF so that in the HTML file, when the SWF is first loaded it does not play. If the mouse moves over the object it starts/continues playing. If the mouse moves away it stops playing.

I'm attempting to create a movie clip animation that plays a loop when you mouseover and when you mouse out off of the movie clip i want the loop to stop at that current frame and stay there until the next mouse over event which would then start playing the movieclip at "last" frame prior to the mouseout.
