Flash :: Getting Multiple X And Y Coordinates

Sliding Through Multiple Coordinates With One Button
I am trying to move a mc horizontally stoping at certain xpos coordinates using only one button to cycle through them until hitting the last and stopping. So far I am using this on the mc that moves:

onClipEvent (load) {
_root.xpos=200;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x += (_root.xpos-this._x)/7;
}

And on the button I am using:

on (release) {
if (once != true) {
once = true;
_root.xpos = -300;
} else {
once = false;
_root.xpos = -400;
}
}

How should I go about storing the coordinates? Array? And is it possible to use the one button to cycle through (ie...first click moves to 200, second click moves to 400...etc...)? I have been searching through the forums but can't find anything relevant to doing this.

Move Coordinates Of Multiple Movies Over Frames
Ive made a movie on my main timeline with about 300 frames and 7 or 8 layers. Is there an easy to move all of the movie clips across all the frames to a different coordinate on the stage? The objects on stage are aligned to the top left of the screen and i want to have it be center aligned.

Coordinates Of MC Inside Multiple Conainers, Relative To Root
Hi everyone,

Does anybody know, how to get coordinates of a MovieClip relative to stage(root)? For instance i have a mc on stage at x:100 and y:200, inside mc, i have buttonMC, with x:100, and y:100. Basically the coordinates relative to root would be mc.x + buttonMC.x = 100 and mc.y + buttonMC.y = 300. But if i have like 10s of containers and need to get relative coords? Is there a way to do that?

Thanks in advance.

Coordinates
Shew, so much to learn. Here's my problem. Say I want to compare an objects coordinates in one MC to some in a different movie clip. I've been making all of my MC's top left origin 0,0 (not the center) which has been helpful in comaring them correctly atleast to the root level. I know that there is a function in ActionScript that get's local or global coordinates. I found the function's description and board messages that were pertaining to it confusing so haven't used it yet. Can you help? Do you have any recommendations how to handle this? What do you do? Thanks! - Michelle

Coordinates Nav
Hi - I saw an effect I want to try to duplicate - I want to be able to tell a MC to go to a specific x position and a specific y position from any spot - - so let's say I am at 50x and 60y and I want to go to 10x and 35y. I just need the logic and method to do this. I come close but the MC starts jumping around and being all nutty - I guess id the coordinates are not divisible by the rate at wich the MC moves it jupms - how can I avoid this? Thanks!

I have created a MovieClip-A containing a button with the code:

Code:
on(press) {
startDrag("",true,0,0,250,0);
}
on(release) {
stopDrag();
}
MovieClip-B contains MovieClip-A rotated at about 23 degrees, effectively creating a diagonal slide bar.

MovieClip-B is then placed within Scene-A.

My problem is trying to get the _x and _y coordinates of the button relative to the Scene-A not to MovieClip-A.

I have tried

Code:
_root.MovieClip-B.MovieClip-A._x
_root.MovieClip-B.MovieClip-A._y
but this does not take into account the rotation applied within MovieClip-B

any ideas ?

X Y Coordinates
I'm not a Flash newbie but this is a newbie question:

I can't figure out how the x and y coordinates work in Flash. I mean, I understand what they ARE, I just don't know how Flash figures them. Why is it that symbol 1 could be x:50 y:50 on the main stage but within the "edit in place" stage the coordinates change drastically?

What I want to be able to do is to take symbol1 and have it be x50 y50 on the main stage, but also x50 y50 within other symbols. Main stage x50 y50, so it's in the exact same place when the swf plays.

So when its like
on (realease)
*shift to center (x,y) and zoom out*
and if you press the 1 button
go to coordinates (x,y)

how would i code that

X/y Coordinates
I've got a project where I have to have a 640x420 image that is actually a bunch of pictures in one. It will be masked by 100x75 mask.

In the app, I'll have scroll arrows so that the user can scroll to different images within the mask, (which will be actually moving the 640x420 image.) the problem I'm having is that in the upper left corner of the "mask" I need to be able to record the x/y coordinates of the image behind, because i'll also have a "button" where the user can scroll to the image they want, and click the button, which will actually send those x/y coordinates to a database. (and by these x/y's we'll be able to tell what image they had showing up in the mask.)

I know how to place my image, and place the mask on the stage over it. and then I know how to have the image scroll behind the mask using the arrows. But I'm not sure how to collect the "x/y" coordinates in order to send.

Does anyone have any solutions to this?

Hopefully there is someone out there that understands what I'm trying to do in the first place!!!

Thanks in advance for any help!!

X Y Coordinates
hi,

do you know how an element's x-y coordinates are determined? Suppose we have a MC named example. For example: movie clip example has an _x value of 200. When you load the swf that contains exampleto another swf, its x coordinate changes.

Does it directly add up? (example's _x and the _x of the MC it is loaded in)

X And Y Coordinates
do the x and y coordinates change when you test out a movie? for example, i have a mc symbol positioned at the bottom of the background, but when i ctrl + enter to test it, it's positioned above where i want it to be. when i test its in a different position and i'm afraid when the mc will be affected when i refer to specific coordinates in the code...

so basically, do they change when you load it?

[F8] Getting X Coordinates
This is hard to explain but i'll try my best.

I have a movie clip inside a movieclip = "Panel" inside of "Final"
Also inside of "Final" is another movie clip called "Stroke"

when the user's mouse enters the "stroke" movieclip the "Panel" Movieclip starts scrolling (depending where the mouse is) the problem is i want the "Panel" clip to stop moving when it reaches it's xMax and xMin; I have this code:

Code:
panel.onRollOver = panelOver;

function panelOver(){
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onRollOver;
}

var b = stroke.getBounds();

function scrollPanel(){
if(_xmouse<b.xMin || _xmouse>b.xMax || _ymouse<b.yMin || _ymouse>b.yMax){
this.onRollOver = panelOver;
delete this.onEnterFrame;

}

var xdist = _xmouse - 169.95;
panel._x += -xdist / 7;

if(panel._x >= 25){
panel._x = 25;

}
if(panel._x <= -770){
panel._x = -770;
}

}
Instead of using just the pixel x coordinates to stop I want something that will get the min and max whenever the code runs (I want it to be easily customizable)

I hope that that made sense.

XML Coordinates
Dear people..

I want to make a map, witch has buttons on it, but the coordinates of those buttons need to be externally loaded because my client has to be able to modify them hisself.

I came this far :

Code:
myXML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.onLoad = function() {
var map:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i = 0; i<map.length; i++) {
duplicateMovieClip(_root.button, knop[i], 1000);
knop[i]._x = Number(map[i].attributes.xpos);
knop[i]._y = Number(map[i].attributes.ypos);
trace(map[i].attributes.xpos);
trace(map[i].attributes.xpos);
}
};

myXML.load('xml.xml');
But it just doesn't work..

does anybody know how ?

How would you set randomly generated values to coordinates of movie clip pinky? THis is what I was thinking

var pinkyx = (Math.rand()*x);
var pinkyy = (Math.rand()*y);

so basically I want pinky to be generated at a random place. I can't remember the coordintes and size of the stage so I can't really entert exact values, but tha's not the point. i can't get the pinky to be generated a t a random spot. It always appears where I put it in the first place, the x and y variables won't change

Xy Coordinates
Hi,

I have a javascript that controls a animated character in swf format. The script looks like this,

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

</script>

The character plays different animations when the user rolls over the page navigation. Like when he rolls over home it plays "anim1" and when he rolls over about us it plays "anim2".

Everything is fine but i want the character to move close to the respective navigation labels and play the animation when the user rolls over them. That is, close to the (x,y) coordinates of the specific navigation label.

Pls this is urgent!!!!!

thanx

MC Coordinates...
I think this should be easy, how can I get the coordinates of a MC on stage.

For example, you have a MC called ball. And you want its x coordinate displayed in a dynamic text field with its Var: ballx.

I tried (dont laugh):

ball._x = ballx;

this displayed "_level0.ballx" in the text field.

thanks.

Map & Coordinates
Hi guys

I need to create a map in flash that takes its coordinates from an external XML file. I know that this is possible but i need a code for reading an xml file and assign the values read from the xml to Flash Varibles. Besides this i don`t really know if it`s possible but, if it is, only action script can help. Can i load an object (a movie clip for example) that i have in my library and from action script to "tell" the object where is his place in the current secene without practily be on that secene ?!
To make more sense i have to create this map that reads coordinates, (coordin. aleready set in flash, not random) and when i read from the XML the name of a country a red flashing dot has to appear on the map above that country.

IF u have any ideeas or you have done something like this PLEASE CONTACT me or post a message !

Thank you !!!

X And Y Coordinates
Ok I posted up asking if anyone could help me with an interactive map tutorial but no replys so I tried my best (I am fairly new to actionscript) to create one out of some existing code.

I have got it to work but doesnt do exactly what I want the existing code was taken from an image gallery that basically change the y value of a movieclip so it would slide to the right image.

The problem I am having is changing both the x and y values of the movieclip to allow it to move to any point on the stage. i need to know how to make the target variables point to an x and y coordinates. or maybe this isnt the way to do it?

I am really stuck with this and I am sure it would be easy for someone who knows actionscript. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Here is the code I am using and I have attached the fla

this.attachMovie("image_0", "image_0", 101);

target = 100;
target1 = 120;
target2 = 175;
target3 = 200;

images_0._y = -1000;

speed = 5;

for (var i = 0; i<4; i++)
{
var thumb = this["thumb_"+i];

thumb.pos = target;
thumb.pos1 = target1;
thumb.pos2 = target2;
thumb.pos3 = target3;

thumb_0.onPress = function() {
target = this.pos;
};
thumb_1.onPress = function() {
target = this.pos1;
};
thumb_2.onPress = function() {
target = this.pos2;
};
thumb_3.onPress = function() {
target = this.pos3;
};

thumb._alpha = 80;
thumb.onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha = 20;
};
thumb.onRollOut = function() {
this._alpha = 80;
};
}
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
image_0._y += (target-image_0._y)/speed;
image_0._x += (target-image_0._x)/speed;
};

Hi,

I have this little movie (see http://www.masster.ro/test/but.swf)
Source files are at http://www.masster.ro/test/but.rar

The smiley is loaded from an external SWF and it should work like this: if I drag the smiley over the red circle, smiley gets circle's coordinates. Right now it jumps to the right and lower.

I know why: coordinates are relative to parent movie and red circle is in _root timeline while smiley is external (thus having its own coordinate system). But I can't get the right syntax to correct it. Can you help me correct my code, please?

Smiley is a movie having this code attached:

Quote:

on (press) {
startDrag(this, true);
origX = this._x;
origY = this._y;
}
on (release, releaseOutside) {
stopDrag();
if (this._droptarget == "/hole") {
_root.place(this);
} else {
this._x = origX;
this._y = origY;
}
}

Main movie action is like this:

Quote:

var xPos = 120;
var yPos = 20;
this.attachMovie("container", "sm", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_xPos, _y:yPos});
loadMovie('smile.swf', sm);
function place(a) {
sm._x = hole._x;
sm._y = hole._y;
}
