StartDrag Constraints
Hi - I'm trying to get a good, zoomable, draggable map compatible with Flash 4. I'm pretty close, but I want to constrain the drag to when the mouse cursor is within the viewable map area, and to stop dragging when the cursor is moved outside that area.

Part of the reason I want to do this is that it seems more useable (it's weird to be dragging something from a point that is hidden behind an object). The other reason is that, if a user drags outside the viewing area trying to get to the left side of the map, and releases the mouse over any of the buttons in my slider movie (there are lots of them) the stopDrag action isn't read and the map gets "stuck" to the cursor. I assume this is due to the on(dragOver) actions on many of these buttons, although I can't logically see why.

In the attached file, the drag is constrained using a startDrag action and the coordinates, but when the map is fully zoomed, this prevents the outer regions from being viewed.

Anyway, if you unzip these to a folder and export chesterfield.fla you'll see what I'm talking about. Thanks for taking a look at this!

Trailing X Y Constraints?
Is there a way to constrain X/Y Mouse Trailers to a certain Area???

So I can just have them over buttons etc instead of move around the entire movie?

Dragging With Constraints
Greetings to the reader,

For some kind of interactive art project I need to recreate some
kind of cheesy gun-interface with Actionscript, and for the trigger
I had the following in mind:

I want to be able to drag the trigger backwards (which will cause
it to rotate slightly around a pivot point, but not actually move),
but it must seem like there's a bit of friction (i.e.: it's not a
matter of dragging the mouse back and that's it, it must seem
like you need a bit more force to pull 'the metal of the trigger'
back) and when you reach a certain point the dragging won't go any
further and when you release the mouse button the trigger will
snap back.

Nice idea and all, but I've no idea how to do this, 'cause when I
want it to rotate, it won't stick to a pivot point and I'm having
a bit of trouble with dragging.

Anyone can be of assistance ? I'd appreciate it.

Rotation Constraints?
Ok, so heres what im trying to do: (i drew a sweet diagram :])

http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/82/rotationod6.jpg

the little blue crosshair rotates and points towards the mouse, but i want it not to rotate past the two red angles.

here is the code, but for some reason, its not working, and i dont know why

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
radians = Math.atan2(_root._ymouse-this._y, _root._xmouse-this._x);
degrees = (radians/Math.PI)*180;
this._rotation = degrees;
if (this._rotation<=-160) {
this._rotation = -160;
}
if (this._rotation<=160) {
this._rotation = 160;
}
}

StartDrag And Constraints
Last edited by utoks : 2004-12-16 at 12:42.

So heres my little flash:
http://j.bluecloudstudio.com/map.html

Basically what it does right now is zoom in on a graphic and then go left and right by using startdrag and stopdrag.

But what i want it to do is when you zoom in some and then drag it to the left it should stop when the blue border is touching the end of the graphic. This way it will never pan all the way to the left where you see blank white space.

here is my fla's
http://j.bluecloudstudio.com/MAP.FLA
and the sliderbar.fla
http://j.bluecloudstudio.com/sliderbar.fla

i think that flash5's startdrag has constraint paramaters but i dont know how to make these stop the drag when the edge of the map graphic is touching the edge of hte blue border
(this was edited because it didnt make much sense-- sorry about that)

any help would be greatly appreciated.
my email is fjood@inmail.sk. Thanks!

Dragable Window Constraints
Ok, I've got this movie clip that I want to be able to drag in a designated rectangle. The code behind the movie clip is:

on (press) {
startDrag ("");
}
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
}

How can I modify this code to make it so the user cant drag the movie clip all over the place? Fictitous numbers are fine for the constraints. Thanks a lot!

Ragdoll-ish Physics With Constraints..?
Hi,

I'm currently working on a little game -- that's turning out to be not such a "little" project after all! My idea is a sort of side-scroller that will use the mouse almost exclusively -- to dodge, walk, jump, and, while holding a certain key, punching, kicking, and perhaps even weapons (much much later!). The idea was a sort of simulation of chinese drunken boxing (which I know nothing about, sadly), also commonly known as "drunk fu." Granted, it will be nothing like it, but it's a good title/label, and it inspired the control scheme anyway.

My main problem, as you might expect, is dynamically moving the player's body according to the mouse position. What this has necessitated, of course, is (as in the title) ragdoll-ish physics. What I've tried to do so far is something along the lines of inverse kinematics and it works, for the most part. My attempts at limitting the angle (to prevent knees from bending backwards, etc.) didn't work, and I think are still commented out. Also, I'm not sure how to ancor the body's movements to the feet (the constraints).

Here's a brief explanation of how the controls work, so far:
There is a somewhat elliptical shape around the player. Moving the mouse within this area (the boundaries of which are represented by colored dots in the file) allows the player to dodge. In the code, I refer to moving the "balance point" or center of gravity, which is the mouse's position. This could probably be done better, but it seems to work for now.

When the mouse is moved outside of the area, the player moves in that direction, jumping if appropriate. (I have a very basic implementation of gravity which seems to work okay. Fine tuning is need, though... but that's a low priority atm )

I'm using my brother's old version of Flash 5, since I'm too lazy/poor to upgrade. *sigh* I'm sure MX would make this easier, but alas....

Anyhow, any help would be GREATLY appreciated! I doubt it would help, but I can upload the swf to my server.

NOTE: I know that the arms and neck/head don't move. I figure once I figure out how to move the legs properly, doing the arms will be easy

NOTE2: I know rotating/moving everything manually is EXTREMELY inefficient. However, since I couldn't come up with a decent algorithm for doing it the hard way, I didn't figure that making a function to run the (non-existant) algorithm for everything would help me much. I plan to make this function, though, whenever I get things figured out. As you can hopefully see in the fla file, i set up arrays in preparation for an IK chain function (frame 2 i think)

Noobie Question Re Constraints
Hi all, I hope someone can help me. I have taken on some small freelance work and have been asked by a company to develope a flash banner ad (468x60). All is well and the banner works fine and links through and I thought the job was finished. But no, the company in question wants me to make sure the flash .swf file is 'constrained' to the correct size so that thier affiliates who will be using the banner do not need to add the sizing in the html code.
This is puzzling me a little since I have always used the width and height parameters when embedding in a web page. The great thing about flash is that you can change these parameters to whatever you want without losing quailty.
Does anybody understand what these guys are after and how to go about it? My publish settings are flash 6, 468x60, actionscript 1.0.
Thanks

Making Constraints On A Symbol...
I'm new here and I'm taking a class on Director. Unfortunately, my teacher does not know how to do much himself which is leaving me to come here and seek advice. Flash is a better option for what I'm looking for and Director is moved out anyway. Please forgive me in advance for any stupid questions and the like since I have not learned much.

I am creating a video game similar to Arakanoid but with a small amount of moving objects instead of stationary objects. I am not trying to make an exact recreation but at least something that is playable and fun that can be made in Di.

I am just taking it one step at a time so my question is, am I able to create a border around this portion of my picture? The black border is also part of the same PNG. Is it possible to create a border in the code so nothing passes that section or does my picture have to be separate from the black border? Basically, I want all actions constrained within that picture frame.

I hope this question makes enough sense. Thank you for any help. ^_^

Loaded Clip Constraints
I have some code that loads a movie to a certain area on my stage. Unfortunately though, the movie is un contained.

By that, I mean that things that are supposed to be off stage (invisible) are visible. Is there a way to foce the loaded clip to only show what is on the stage of the loaded clip?

As it stands right now, the clip i have is 250px by 20px
i have text swinging in from the right and exiting left. instead of seeing the textonly on the stage area of the MC i can see it to the right of the mc stage area (over my parent stage) and when it leaves, it just continues to move off the mc stage and over my parent stage.

PLEASE! anyone HELP, (i have no more fingernails because of this!!!) Thanks

LoadMovie Width Constraints
Hello people,
I'm new to the forum and want to extend greetings.

I have a problem, and I know I am overlooking the obvious so I am prepared to slap myself afterwards.
I am loading swf A into a mc within swf B.

loadMovie(dir/A.swf,target_mc);

How do I constrain the width of A so it is its' normal size?
It wants to span the width of swf B.

I tried adding "_width=470" but my syntax is not right and/or working.

I am using Pro 8

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks ahead of time,

AS3: Layout (Constraints) Class
I've been meaning to do one of these for a while but never got the incentive until someone else started talking about it So I made a class that manages layouts for movie clips and other display objects. It lets you set position, size, center or top, right, bottom, or left constraints (similar to Flex). The following example shows basic usage and what behavior it can provide (source files available in link).

http://www.senocular.com/demo/Layout/LayoutWindows.html

There are a fairly good number of properties for a layout, and it's use may not be 100% obvious, so I will probably need to provide some extra documentation, but the example should be a good place to get started. It uses most of the features and lets you see what the class is capable of.

Also, there is no GUI like in Flex, its all just AS

Note: For the most up to date version of the classes, always use

Constraints On A Mouse Follower
I made two movie clips that follows the mouse but I want to put constraints on them, they should follow the mouse until the mouse reaches a curtain distance and then the movie clip should pop back to its original x and y position.

I managed to come up with this but from here on I'm a bit stuck

Code:

private function init():void
   {
      addChild(backgrnd);
      backgrnd.x = 0;
      backgrnd.y = 0;
      addChild(levelTwo);
      addChild(levelOne);

      levelOne.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
      levelOne.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
      levelTwo.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
      levelTwo.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
      stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, mouseFollow);
   }

public function mouseFollow(event:Event):void
   {
      distX = levelOne.x - mouseX;
      distY = levelOne.y - mouseY;
      distX2 = levelTwo.x - mouseX;
      distY2 = levelTwo.y - mouseY;

      levelOne.x -= distX / 10;
      levelOne.y -= distY / 10;
      levelTwo.x -= distX2 / 70;
      levelTwo.y -= distY2 / 70;

      stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, howFar);
   }

   public function howFar(event:Event):void
   {
      var whereX:Number = (levelOne.x - mouseX);
      var whereY:Number = (levelOne.y - mouseY);

      if (whereX <= 30)
      {
         if (whereY <= 10)
         {
            levelOne.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
            levelOne.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
         }
      }

   }

Scroller - Are There Size (dimensions) Constraints?
I have a horizontal scoller that moves based on the _x of a draggable button. Here is the code

Code:
on (release) {
//d is just a variable for snapping the button
d = 20;
x = 182;
xdistance = getProperty("../thing", _x)-x;
//trace("Xdistance = " add xdistance add newline add "Ydistance = " add ydistance);
if ((Number(Xdistance)>Number((-1*d)) and Number(Xdistance)<Number(d))) {
stopDrag();
setProperty("../thing", _x, x);
_root.move = true;
_root.xmov = 125;
_root.mainScroller.blur._alpha = 100;
_root.mainScroller.blur.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.mainScroller.blur._alpha -= 2;}
_root.body.garry01.gotoAndPlay(2);
//displays day of tour in text field
_root.tourDate.text=("Tuesday, May 12, 2005");
} else {
stopDrag();
}
}

Basically 'd' has to do with a snap command so you can ignore that, the rest of the code moves the mainScroller based on where 'thing' is.

My question is this. I have 10 images that are 720px wide. If I have a horizontal scroller and I try to include 10 images which are side by side I get a error in Flash saying something like invalid size. Are there constraits in Flash? my Mc might be something like 4567px long when done, is this a problem?

Thismc.startDrag(...constraints..) Confusion
Hello,

(ADDED/EDITED AFER POSTING: Actually, my greatest issue is not the formula, after describing it to you I can think more clearly now ;-) - but my lack of understanding of what those constraints in startDrag(...) actually mean/do. When I have all values (withs and constraints) I should know what to expect on screen - but I'm very often completely surprised by the result.)

I am thoroughly confused now. I have a movieclip with an onMouseDown event attached to it that calls startDrag(..). So far so easy - but I don't want the user to drag it too far outside the screen. The mc holds a print preview. The catch: I also have zoom-in/out buttons and they change mc._xscale and mc._yscale.

So I cannot use fixed values for the constraints, I have to calculate them - but how? I have been unable to find a rule (formula) that works under all conditions - mc size (x,y separately) larger or smaller than the screen?

Example for the complexity:
- If it's smaller I want the user to be able to drag it left to the left until the mc's left edge touches the left screen boundary.
- However, if it's larger I want the user to be able to drag it so far outside left until the RIGHT edge plus 100px space is visible. (It is a preview for print, after all)
- x and y have to be looked at separately

My problem: Unlike 20 years ago (in school, I'm not THAT old), when I wrote complex algorithms using my brain, pen and paper I have now adopted the coding method of today (I've seen it in action many times at some large and well-known software firms... where the code is so ugly and complex that it's almost the only way left to get any work done), which seems to be to start coding randomly, check the result, change something, run again, etc. :-(

Ahhh, describing the problem already helped... let's see if I can figure it out after lunch. But if anyone already has the algorithm for this not-so-unsual issue - after all, something exactly like this is needed for any zoom-and-drag function to view something that could be larger than the stage (like image viewers) - I'd welcome the help :-)

Thanks,
Michael

PS: my stage size is 800x600 and when the mc is larger than the stage I want 100px space and not stop dragging exactly at the edge - but I want no space when it's smaller than the stage.

Attach Code

// current snapshot of the experiments - I've been changing the formula around
// many many times without being able to think it through :-(
// the code for the zoom in/out is somewhere else (simple: adds +-10 to _x|_yscale)

pg1.onMouseDown = function() {
if (pg1._width < 800) {
xC = (800-pg1._width);
} else {
xC = 700;
}
if (pg1._height < 500) {
yC = (500-pg1._height);
} else {
yC = 500;
}
pg1.startDrag(false, xC, -pg1._height+yC, 100,100);
}

pg1.onMouseUp = function() {
pg1.stopDrag();
}

Movie / Image Size Constraints.
I am trying to build a system for map navigation, that will let the user both scroll and zoom on another image or movie clip. Seems easy enough, but am quickly running into a problem of the content getting too big. I haven't narrowed down the exact limit yet, but somewhere between 6000 and 10000 pixels, flash begins to introduce rendering errors when I scroll the image to the right past a certain point. Is there a documented limit somewhere on how big a movie clip or image can be resized? I know that movie clips can't be defined greater than 2500 pixels. Is it some multiple of that number? I know I can import images larger than that, but that still doesn't help me figure out where this limit (be it a bug, or feature) lies. Once you start zooming in on a clip of that size, it blows up pretty quickly.

So far I've been playing with the stock scrollPane component, and the Loader component. An alternate approach might be to build a component that loads the map at its native resolution, and then uses a scaled mask to establish a viewport on that map, which I would then resize to show the view.

My two issues then become:
1) How do I dynamically specify stage dimensions for a movie clip in order to create this viewport? Can you somehow use a clip mask to establish component dimensions?
2) Will I still run into scaling problems? Will flash scale the whole movieclip to fit in the parent clip that holds it, and then mask things off... or will it mask and then scale? It is my hope that the later could circumvent the rendering issues I'm running into.

I'm fairly new to flash, so I may be missing some fundamental concepts here. I'll also probably need to do some more research on building custom components, but I was hoping someone could give me some sage advice, or at least lead me in the right direction.

Thanks,
-paul

Change Rectangular Constraints Dynamically When Dragging?
Hi,
I have a draggable movie clip. It is something being dragged out of a test tube and over to a piece of paper. While it is still being dragged "within" the test tube, I would like for the rectangular constraints to be very narrow so it looks like you can't drag it through the side of the test tube but you have to drag it to the opening at the top of the tube.
Once you drag it beyond the top of the tube, I would like for the user to be able to drag the object around more freely, i.e. I need a bigger constraint rectangle.

Has anybody tried this before?

If I use a variable for each of the four constraints, will it recognize a change in the variables and change the rectangle accordingly, or does it only go by the values the constraints are set to initially, when first calling "startDrag"?

[CS3] Creating New Pop Up Window With Height And Width Constraints.
Hi,

I would really like to know how to create a pop up window where the height and width are set which all sounds easy enough and i actually could manage that BUT i am trying to input it into an already made script.

It is a XSPF music player located here and if you have a look at the examples on the page, i would like the button that says link (shows up under the picture when you click on a track) to be directed to a new window that is set to a specific height and width and pref with no toolbars or anything.

I think i have located the correct bit of code to edit but am not sure how to inplement it. The code is this:

//info button
if(playlist_array[track_index].info!=undefined){
info_mc._visible = true;
info_mc.info_btn.onPress = function(){
getURL(playlist_array[track_index].info,"_blank")
}
}else{
info_mc._visible = false;
}

I have tried a few things but i'm not competent enough with flash to know how to edit it properly and know what to change etc.

Hope someone can help

Flash 8 Snapping And Constraints Poorly Implemented
Am I the only person who is consistently frustrated by Flash's bizarre implementation of snapping and constraints?

Try the following:
Open a new Flash 8 document, type the word "ALIGN" in a new textbox. Choose any font you like.
Now, we're going to create a copy of this word, and we want it to line up vertically with the other one (a very common task).
First, disable all snapping entirely, just to avoid any additional weirdness.

So, grab your Move tool (black arrow tool) and then hold down the Alt key (to leave a copy behind).
Start to drag the text horizontally. Hold down the SHIFT key to contrain that motion.

Observe carefully what has occurred. The second textbox is either slightly higher or slightly lower than the first textbox. And yet the SHIFT key was held down! This completely goes against the way the SHIFT key as constraint modifier key works in every other major application out there. It just makes no sense at all. The SHIFT key in Flash constrains the motion to horzontal, vertical or 45 degrees, BUT there's some kind of rounding error that causes the object to jump first.

Let's try something else.
We're going to try to line up the text to a guide. Enable rulers (View > Rulers). Now drag a guide from your vertical ruler and drop it on the page. Okay, we need to turn Snap to Guides on. View > Snapping > Snap to Guides.
Grab any of the two textboxes. We're going to align its right-hand edge to the guide. So, using the Move tool once again, grab the text object by its right-hand edge. Wait! Flash's crappy textbox implementation doesn't allow us to grab the box by one of its corner anchors (because that would resize the textbox of course); make sure you grab the textbox by its edge but NOT by a corner anchor.
If you're lucky, you may see the circular "snapping" cursor appear on or near the edge that you clicked. If you see this cursor - congratulations, the textbox will snap to the guide (though the "constraint" issue mentioned above with the SHIFT key still crops up). If that worked for you, change the zoom. Zoom into the scene (CTRL + Plus). Now try again. Did it work? Chances are, the snapping stopped working after you exceeded 100% zoom. What's up with that?

If ANYONE has managed to get work around Flash's horrible implementation of snapping and SHIFT-key constraints, I'd love to hear it. Please post it here and I for one with thank you profusely. It seems that absolutely no-one has written about this issue.

Movie Clip _x Control By Button Is Working But Needs _x Constraints
I have a movieclip thats position is controlled by a mcBack and mcNext buttons. Everytime the button is clicked the button moves 100 right and if the other button is clicked the movie clip moves the other direction 100. This all works fine but I need the movie clip to stop when it it reaches -1928 in one direction and 0 in the other direction. Can anyone help me? Here is the code that makes the timeline move on the stage.

PHP Code:

mcBack.onPress = function(){
    mc_timeline._x += 100;
}
mcNext.onPress = function(){
    mc_timeline._x -= 100;

Full Browser Movie, But Use Browser Scrollbar When Needed
Is there any way to make a full browser swf that, at a certain point, stops scaling to the stage and allows the browser to use it's native scrollbars?

For example, say my flash site has a top bar (it's y is always 0) and a bottom bar (it's y might be stageHeight - 15). Is there any way to tell the movie to stop scaling if the bottom bar's y is less than say 300, and from that point have the browser display it's scrollbars allowing you to scroll the content?

Fullscreen Swf In Browser Without Any Of The Browser Elements...
Hi Guys,

I've made a demo using FlashMX.Naturally, its a fullscreen demo (800x600) involving a lot of different movies loading & unloading at different levels.
I want to post this demo on the web, maybe a leaner version of what it is. And i want to keep it fullscreen. Obviously enough, i will have to embed it in a browser. Therein lies the problem. I wanted only the swf to be visible, and none of the browser-window elements to be visible. How do i go about it???!!!!
Any ideas...do i need to embed the flash movie using some javascript?? If yes, then what is it???
plz HELP!!!!

Browser Inside A Browser
Hello all.
This is my first post. I have a question that might not even be possible but we'l give it a shot anyway. I would like to have a browser inside my flash movie. Basically I have a portfolio of sites that I have done and would like the sites to pop up in the flash movie with in a small window with all the browser functionality.
I know that I can do this by re-creating the sites inside flash and doing a screen print of a browser, then creating the site in the browser img. But that is not completely what I want. I want the browser inside Flash to be dependant upon the browser the user is using. Say the user is using Firefox, I want the browser to come up in Firefox vs. IE, Opera or anything else...
Does anyone know if this can be done? I am using Flash MX 2004 Pro. Thank you very much for any help or direction.

My flash movie takes up the whole screen on a MAC and doesn't on a PC. It looks really small. first of all, I want the movie to be scalable but I want it to show up smaller than it does on a MAC. All i have on the source code is "width=100%" "height=100%" what the hell should I do?
also, I want to make the first page animation a separate flash movie, then load another URL so people don't have to see the first page over and over again. how do you make it so when the first animation ends, the next URL window pops up? any ideas guys?

thanks for your help, anyone.

Browser Display Size Of Flash Movie / Need To Have Browser Match Movie Size
Hello,

I am having a problem getting my flash movies to come up in the broswer w/out any extra space around the movie. I have published all 3 ways out of flash, and even made may changes to the Dreamwever file with no luck.

Is it possible to have my movie pop up and the browser be 600x440 w/out extra background?

Please send help!

Thanks,

Hi. Dumb question I'm sure.

I use Swish 2.0 (just got it actually and it's Kewl) and Frontpage 2002 for my webs.

My client just bought a DELL PC (loaded he says) but he can't see the "swish" flash image (I added to his webpage) on his new DELL.

He claims he was browsing on IE.

Any ideas out there? or do I have to drive to his office and check out his new DELL. Is this DELL or DAH.

Cheers! Ocicat

Get Browser .swf
Hello Flashers,

I have a Flash site that I have created. I am trying to
get the thing to pop up in a "pop up window" using
GetBrowserWindow behavior in dreamweaver4. It pops up
but the .swf doesn't align with the pop up window. How
can I get my .swf to fit perfectly snug in the pop
up window? example see http://www.razorusa.com the two
flash pop ads I did notice that .swf doesn't fit in the
window perfectly.I have posted this problem a couple times
already no one has been able to give me an answer yet.
Any help would be apreciated. Cuz this is driving me crazy!!!!

Thanks.

Browser Look Pop-up
Hi all,
Thanks for a great site - really usefull.
Solutions only lead to further questions though!

Q. Is it possible to open a new window (pop-up) from within a projector?

!!BUT!!

I would like this window to be a true 'new window' i.e. browser window and not just a movie clip window.

I've read most of the tutes on the subject, but is it only possible to do this with HTML/JAVA and from a web site?
The project is intended to be primarily a projector file run from CD.

I suppose I could draw a window to look like a browser window, but this seems a bit of a cacky thing to do.

Many thanks for any help - keep it simple eh; I'm no pro!

Cheers,
mk

Fit To Browser
I seen this website listed below that uses flash.
The thing I found unique was it fit edge to edge with the browser and would fit to any screen size and adjust automatically to browser size.

I would like to apply this to a couple of my flash websites.
Does anyone know how to go about doing this?

Browser?
I wanted to know how you do a the effect of shaking the browser window (like the earthquake effect where the browser window shakes),

My questions is:
Is it possiable to take the code of the effect and place it in a flash file (swf) and have the effect work, without placing any other javascript code into a html. Being able to shake the browser with all of the code in the flash file and nothing in the html.

NOTE: the flash file will be in html page.

if there is a way to put the code in and make it work, or any other way of shakeing the browser window through flash, can you please help me

Thx
yoho
