Flash :: Scrolling By Mouse Position

Scrolling Background On Mouse Position Help
using flash 8.
ok now this works, but is limited.
everything moves back and fourth according to which way the mouse is moving, but for some reason it won't go further than say 1350px! why?
help me.

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
difference = _xmouse-_root.bg.menu_mc.arrow_mc._x;
_root.bg.menu_mc.arrow_mc._x = _root.bg.menu_mc.arrow_mc._x+(difference/2);
_root.bg.menu_mc._x = -_root.bg.menu_mc.arrow_mc._x;

Content Scrolling Via Mouse-Position
Hello all. Quick question for anyone who can help. . .

I'm very much into smooth animations and clean, crisp design techniques for Flash. So obviously, I have loved learning and becoming more familiar with the "easing" and smooth tweening techniques.

I have come across an example of something I'd love to learn to do, but am not sure how to do it. From what I've seen though, there are some masterful designers/developers in these forums so I figure'd I'd post it here to see if anyone could help teach me the technique.

The example site is North Kingdom. My question is: How did they get the page content to scroll according to the mouse postion? I've seen this done with some photo galleries, but I would LOVE to know how to do it with content.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Scrolling MC, Controling It's Direction With Mouse Position.
Ok, This is an example of what I'm trying to do. Please see: http://www.abeautifulmind.com/main.html

After a few preloaders, a long image begins to scroll and is controlled by the position of your mouse over the MC. My question is:

1. How is this image scrolling in a complete loop and not just from beginning to end and back again?

2. How is it scripted to react to mouse? i.e. controlling is direction of travel and speed of travel.

Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks.

Scrolling Photo Bar Cont. By Mouse Position?
I'm trying to find a Flash tutorial and have been Googl'ing away, but
I can't really figure out what to call it!! The end result should be a
strip of photos that scroll both left/right or up/down depending on
the design - the scroll is determined by the placement of the mouse.

Here are two examples:

http://www.kannerarch.com/flash/main.html - click "residential," then
"511 House" to see what I'm talking about

http://www.albertsanchez.com/

I'd love a link to a tutorial, a .fla file or even a fresh suggestion of a
keyword phrase to search for!!! I'm pretty good at fiddling around
with Actionscript, though I can't write it myself, so anything in the
ballpark might help!

Thanks!

Horizontal Scrolling Based On Mouse Position
Hey,

I'm sure this is a pretty common thing, but I've done some searching and didn't come up with what I needed... So I was wondering if anybody could point me in the direction of a tutorial that may help me create something like the scrolling portfolio at SectionSeven, ie, the way it's a long, horizontal list of images, and when you move your mouse either to the left or right sides, it scrolls accordingly. I also like how the farther to the side your mouse is, the faster it scrolls. It also seems to have "momentum", so for instance, if you're scrolling really fast to the left, and then you quickly move your mouse to the right side, it smoothly slows down, and then starts to change direction.

I'm only interested in the scrolling, I don't need the 3D page effect at all.

Thanks for any help, I appreciate it.

Scrolling Based On Mouse Position Quest
I have a playlist on the stage in a movieClip which is masked by a mask so that only a small portion is visible.

I have added a scroll function to that movieClip so that is scrolls up and down (with restrains ofcourse) based on my mouseY position on the stage.

Now, I found this formula for scrooling once somewhere else and it works fine...

container.y += Math.cos((-root.mouseY/stage.stageHeight)*Math.PI)*15;

...or it can be written this way ofcourse to scroll from side to side:

fullContainer.x += Math.cos((-root.mouseX/stage.stageWidth)*Math.PI)*15;

...and that number (15) repersents the speed of a scroll.

I have used this formula couple of times on some galleries i have created and it works just fine, but the content which is being applied to scroolls regardless the mouse is above the content we want to scroll or anywhere on the stage, BUT I wanted to create what has been created here, on this site: http://www.flashden.net/files/55697/index.html

when the home page opens, go down below to the right, there is a button for opening a playlist, and when the playlist opens on the center of the stage, this playlist can also be scrolled up and down based on the mouse position, BUT it ONLY scrolls when the mouse IS ABOVE the playlist, and anywhere else it doesnt scroll and there is a message: "close playlist"
now, what I am interested in is how to make this scrollable only when mouse is above the content we want to scroll.

If someone can enlighten me I would be greatly satisfied

--------
fullContainer.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, cosinus);
function cosinus(e:Event) {
fullContainer.y += Math.cos((-root.mouseY/stage.stageHeight)*Math.PI)*15;

if (fullContainer.y > 0) { // the restrains
fullContainer.y = 0;
}
if (fullContainer.y < - 300) { // the restrains
fullContainer.y = - 300;
}
}
----------

sorry for the long post and Happy New Year everyone!

Movieclip Scrolling Relative To Mouse Position With Gravity
I need to scroll several movieclips based on whether the cursor is to the left or right of the screen. I would like the clips to move at different speeds to give the impression of depth. I'd also like there to be a sense of gravity when the mouse stops i.e. I don't want the movieclips to stop moving instantly.

Does anyone know of a tutorial somewhere on the web to do this?

Thanks.

Kirupa Vertical Scrolling Based On Mouse Position
Hi,

I've made a scrolling text that detects the mouse Y position for a movie that is published in 100% width and height. The scrolling is based on the tutorial http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/scrollbar5.htm

But unlike this tutorial I don't have any scroll track or scroll face to control the scrolling. It entirely depends on the mouse position. The attached file is working but continue the scrolling after the point it should stop. I'm really frustrated and all ready spent lot of time for this. Any help will really appreciated

Horizontal Scrolling Determined By Rollover Or Mouse Position
I've got a question. I've searched the forums for something similar and can't find an answer.

I have a 1600px wide jpeg, I'd like to have it so that I can have a flash file in a 500px wide website, where you can roll over arrows in the bottom left and bottom right corners, to scroll this image left and right.

An example can be seen at:
http://www.7forallmankind.com/women.html

You can ignore the rollover's for the particular women on that page, I just want the scrolling left and right functionality as seen there.

I tried a decompiler on the above file, but the action scripting went over my head.

Easy, beginner/intermediate flash help would be greatly appreciated.

Mouse X Position To Control Movie Position?
Hi, my understanding of actionscript is very basic and I'd like some help with writing a very simple script. Basically the x position of the mouse should control the play position of a movie. Do I need something like an event handler (I'm not sure exactly what these do, but I've seen similar scripts that seem to use them).

How Do I Create?: Scrolling Image Stops On Mouse Over-starts On Mouse Off
I’m trying to create this animation:

I have an long rectangular image (with more images going across it) scrolling FROM the right side of the screen to the left (very slowly). similar to a ticker.

I want the scrolling to stop when the viewer mouses over the menu strip. If they press on the image that they have just moused over, I have a movie clip I want to play for that image (a few images pop up, one bigger than the other). When the viewer mouses off, the movie clip disappears, and the menu continues scrolling to the left, from the right.

Greatly appreciated!!

Scrolling An MC To A Fixed Position
I am desperately trying to achieve an effect which can be found on this site:

http://www.fme.fujitsu.com/employmen...ine/index.html

What I want to achieve is this:

Click on a relevant section on the nav and the 'content' MC will scroll to the corresponding position.
So in effect you end up with a very wide MC that is divided into sections.
I know it must be something like:

on (release) {
setProperty (_root.scroller, _x, "50");
}

but this will just move the MC to that position, not scroll it. Does anyone know of a code that will scroll the movie clip to a specified position?

Many thanks
Simon

EMERGENCY - Scrolling An MC To A Specified Position
I have a very wide MC (4000px) and a stage of about 500px.
I am going to divide the MC into sections to display various areas of the site.
What I want to do is create a script that can be attached to a button that will scroll the MC to a specified position. ie

on (release) {
setProperty ("_root.scroller", _x, "300");
}

This will obviously move scroller MC to 300 px but can anyone point me in the direction of how to scroll the movie to 300px!

Have a look at this for more of an idea

[ _x Position Scrolling With Easing ]
Alright. I've seen this a million times but can't figure out how to do it, nor can I find a good sample .FLA to help me out. I have multiple pages of content in a clip. It's all masked and layed out and ready for horizontal motion/sliding/scrolling but I'd like to see it ease in and out of its motion without using tweening options. So to put it simply:

• I have a clip.
• Its scrolling is controlled by buttons on the main stage.
• I want it to move horizontally without tweening.
• I want it to rely on _x positioning if possible.
• I'd like to have it ease in and out of its horizontal sliding.

Any suggestions, samples, etc.?

Thanks in advance!

Scrolling MC -- Parameters For Y Position
I have a movieClip of a client list which has dual functionality.
You can view the .swf at:
www.thestudioa.com
click on "clients" to see the problem with the scrolling :O)

First, on rollover of images in the content area, the client list scrolls the client name to the top of the list using the following "slider" code in the movieClip:

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (slider == 0) {
finalY = -132;
currentY = getProperty("", _y);
diffY = (finalY-currentY)/3;
setProperty ("", _y, (currentY+diffY));
The button rollover code is:

Code:
on (rollOver) {
clientlist.slider = 0;
Okay -- that part works fine.
The problem is that I also need the client list to scroll using up and down arrows. I need to use the same slider code so that the transition is smooth from the navigation scrolling to the content scrolling. Currently, I am using the following code for the up and down arrows:

up arrow targets slider 16
down arrow targets slider 17
and rollout / release targets slider 18

Code:
} else if (slider == 16) {
finalY = _y+5;
currentY = getProperty("", _y);
diffY = (finalY-currentY)/1;
setProperty ("", _y, (currentY+diffY));
} else if (slider == 17) {
finalY = _y-5;
currentY = getProperty("", _y);
diffY = (finalY-currentY)/1;
setProperty ("", _y, (currentY+diffY));
} else if (slider == 18) {
currentY = getProperty("", _y);
}
How do I set the maximum top and bottom y positions?
Using this code, the user can scroll up and down forever -- leaving crazy white space.

You can view the .swf at:
www.thestudioa.com
click on "clients" to see the problem.

Any help is so appreciated.
Thanks,
Danielle

Mouse Position
Hello,

I am trying to detect on the main timeline when the mouse is within a box or certain coordinates. Then once it is within these coordinates the movie will go to frame 2. Then once it is outside these coordinates then it will go back to frame 1. Is this possible.

If it helps an example of the coordinates of the box are

Top Left x=75 , y=23
Bottom Left x=75 , y=70
Bottom Right x=150 , y=70
Top Right x=150 , y=23

I hope this makes since.

This is what I put on the first frame of the main timeline. Nothing happened at all.

if (_ymouse >= 23 && _ymouse <=70 && _xmouse >=75 && _xmouse <=150) {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 1", 2);
}

Thanks for any help!

Mouse Position
Hi,

Question: I have made a movieclip with two states, labeled "a" and "b".
Now onClipEvent I drag that movieclip, becoming my cursor.. that part is easy but what I want the mc to do is change states when it's in some part of the movie
For the dragging:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x = _parent._xmouse;
this._y = _parent._ymouse;
}
but when the cursor mc comes in to a specified area of the stage I want it to go to Label "b"
Can anyone help?
Furthermore; is there a way to check if the mouse is outside of the movie (when inside a frameset) so it doesn't show the custom cursor mc?

Mouse Position
Hi all, I have a question to mouse position. I know about _xmouse and _ymouse properties, but I have another problem.

Is there any way to determine if the mouse is above the scene? I tried to use _xmouse and _ymouse properties but when you move the mouse very quickly off the scene, those properties return bad values.

Sorry for my english.

I know the reason of this behavior, the flash movie is simply slower than the mouse move (if the mouse move is quick enough ). I know it depends on framerate, but if you have some actionscripts on your objects, the movie can be so slow you can move the mouse off the scene faster than movie can realize with no problem.

So, can somebody advice please?

PS.: Gonna look for some info about detecting mouse-object collisions, that coud be a solution, so if you know smt about it, please, write it down. Thanks a lot.

[F8] Help With Mouse Position
Hey everyone,

I've just started messing around with this and Im looking for some input about how to achieve a certain effect in dealing with mouse positioning.

So I've figured out how to make a movie clip move in relation to where the mouse is using this simple code below which just gets placed directly on the movie clip I want to affect.

Code:
onClipEvent(mouseMove) {
this._x = 500 + (_xmouse - 0)*+0.05;
this._y = 500 + (_ymouse - 0)*+0.05;
}

But I want to make it so that the movie clip moves slowly into position like it does on this site: Fort Minor

Any ideas?

Thanks.
