A Line That Will Following The Mouse Cursor
Hi, can anyone teach me how to program this kind of question?
After a user clicks on a pointA on a graph, a line starting from that pointA will follow the mouse cursor until the user clicks on another pointB then the line will join pointA to pointB.
Hence, that line will "grow" longer if the mouse cursor move further away from pointA.
Then a line starting from pointB will follow the mouse cursor until the user clicks on another pontC then the line will joint pointB to pointC ..
and so on, until the last point is clicked.
Thanks alot for any help.
Regards,
LWM

Custom Cursor To Return To The Regular Mouse Cursor
How can I get my custom cursor to return to the regular mouse cursor when in the bottom 3rd of my flash movie. I need to do this for nav functions and I want the regular cursor actions in this area. So to recap: within the top 2/3 of the movie I will have my custom cursor, upon entering the bottom 3rd of my movie I need the cursor to switch back and vice verse...
my code below, please any suggestions are very helpful as I have tried several things:
stop();
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.ui.Mouse;
Mouse.hide();
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, moving);
function moving(evt:MouseEvent):void {
if (cursor.currentFrame != 0) {
cursor.gotoAndStop(1);
}
cursor.x = stage.mouseX;
cursor.y = stage.mouseY;
cursor.mouseEnabled = false;
evt.updateAfterEvent();
}
//These three eventlisteners are telling flash to "listen" for specific events
//in our case if the mouse moves and if the mouse button is down or up.
//then if one of these events happens, it calls a function (mouse_down, mouse_up or moving).
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouse_down);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouse_up);
// This is how to construct a simple function,
// this function will write in our text field "mouse is moving"
// when the even is raised by the eventlistener
// function just like above, just for the mouse down event.
function mouse_down(e:MouseEvent) {
if (mouseX < 800 && mouseY < 450) {
timer.start();
timer2.start();
}
}
// function just like above, just for the mouse up event.
function mouse_up(e:MouseEvent) {
timer.stop();
timer2.stop();
}
Thanks again and help!

Custom Mouse Cursor Conflict With Mouse Trail
When I put mouse trails and custom mouse cursor script in the same scene the mouse trails work but the cursor does not change to the custom cursor. If I use the custom mouse cursor script in a seperate scene, on its own, it works fine. I think that the two scripts are conflicting.
Mouse trail script:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//x movement
mx=_root._xmouse;
if (mx<_x) {
dx=_x-mx;
}
else {
dx=mx-_x;
}
moveSpeedx=dx/10;
if (mx<_x) {
_x=_x-moveSpeedx;
}
else {
_x=_x+moveSpeedx;
}
//y movement
my=_root._ymouse;
if (my<_y) {
dy=_y-my;
}
else {
dy=my-_y;
}
moveSpeedy=dy/10;
if (my<_y) {
_y=_y-moveSpeedy;
}
else {
_y=_y+moveSpeedy;
}
}
Custom mouse cursor script:
Layer 1(functions):
stop();
/* update the cursor coords */
function updateCursor() {
_root.cursor._x = _xmouse;
_root.cursor._y = _ymouse;
updateAfterEvent();
}
Layer 2(on event handlers):
onClipEvent(load) {
Mouse.hide();
this.swapDepths(100);
}
onClipEvent(mouseMove) {
_root.updateCursor();
}
Please help!

Custom Mouse Cursor With Mouse Events
i'm trying to use a custom mouse cursor for a mouse over and dragging effect (an open hand and a closed hand).
the hand MC has two frames, one frame with the label "open", and one with the label "closed". i'd like to rollover an object, display the hand cursor with the "open" frame. however, when i do this, because the hand is now tracking underneath the mouse cursor, the object underneath immediately calls it's roll_out dispatcher.
how can objects underneath the hand cursor still fire their mouse event dispatchers (roll_out, mouse_up and mouse_down)?

Drawing A Single Line That Extends To The Cursor
My goal is to draw a line from 0,0 to wherever the cursor is clicked, but as you hold down the mouse, the line continues to follow the mouse.
Here's where I am so far. This draws a line to the mouse, but as the mouse drags around it creates a new line for every frame so I have hundreds of lines instead of just one line that appears to follow the mouse.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Code:
onMouseDown = function () {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("line1_mc", 1);
line1_mc.lineStyle(.5, 0xFF0000, 100);
line1_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
line1_mc.moveTo(0, 0);
line1_mc.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
line1_mc.endFill();
};
};
onMouseUp = function () {
line1_mc.clear();
};

Drawing Using Actionscript: Getting A Line To Follow The Cursor
So I'm working on a project for school and I need some help. In my file, I've replaced the cursor with a custom cursor of a pencil. It roams around the screen and on mouse over, triggers various actions. While it moves, I'd really like it to draw, so the user has more of an active role in the narrative. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

[Flash 8] Line Cursor Trailer... Noob Needing Help :)
Hey everyone, this is my first post in this forum. I'm a bit of a flash beginner and hopefully with some help will one day be able to help out people like me!
I have a cursor follower which is a little animated bee. And what I am trying to do is give it a little dotted line trail - - - - - - - like this. Which follows it, and then fades out after a while. Ive found numerous line trailers which are ALMOST perfect, but I don't know very much actionscript, especially when you start putting x and y variables and stuff in there.
The ones that I have all scale up the line mc when you move the cursor faster. So instead of having a nice even trail, you get big ones and small ones all over the place. I'm really not sure if this is even avoidable, seeing as every single one I have downloaded does this.
I'm not even sure how to post a link to my file so that you can download it to have a look. But I can post it up here if someone tells me how!
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks

Mouse Cursor
hello,
i have a dragable window which has coordinates it cannot exide this window contains pixel fonts, now my problem is somtimes when i drag this window to the point where it stops but my mouse cursor exides the sides of the movie the fonts somtimes go blured, i think this is due to the window stoping on 0.whatever of a pixel, i have a reset button with the following code:
on (release) {
_root.back = true;
}
and my dragable window has this code:
onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 10;
_root.target = 75;
_root.target2 = 14;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.back == true) {
_y += (_root.target-_y)/speed;
_x += (_root.target2-_x)/speed;
}
}
is there a way i can tell it that if while im draging the window if the cursor leaves the movie clip to set _root.back = true
hope i have explained this well enough
thanks

Mouse Cursor
Hi... this may be a stupid question, but I'm just not figuring this out...
I want to make a custom cursor that only appears when you mouseover a specific movie clip....
I created an actionscript that does this, but the problem is that the mouse cursor needs to change back to the default, once the mouse rolls off the specific clip...
I attached these actions to my movie clip, which changes the cursor...
onClipEvent(mouseMove){
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse)){
Mouse.hide();
_root.cursor._x = _level0._xmouse;
_root.cursor._y = _level0._ymouse;
updateAfterEvent;
trace ("cursor")
}
}
Can someone help me figure out how to change back when the mouse rolls off this?
Thanks for reading!

? Eye Following (looking At) Mouse Cursor ?
Hello!
I can't seem to solve this one at all:
I've made an image with an eye in photoshop which I'd like to use as an "enter page" on my band's website.
It would be pretty cool if the eye would look at the mouse cursor all the time, so it should follow the direction when you move the mouse.
I was thinking that using two image layers could be the base of animating this: one layer for the eyeball itself which can move behind the "skin" in the larger image. If i move the eyeball layer behind the skin layer in photoshop, it looks ok.
The problem is that I don't have a clue about how to do this in Flash (I use Flash 5) Could anyone help me out about this?
PS: can I save the skin layer as a file with transparency that can be used in Flash? I guess this is essential to be able to see the lower eyeball layer...
THANX!

No Mouse Cursor
Okay, I know in flash it is possible to create custom cursors, but is there a way to not use the default mouse settings.
Default mouse settings meaning, whenever you create a rollover in flash, upon rollover the arrow cursor is replaced with a hand/finger to indicate a link. Is there a way to get rid of the hand cursor upon rollover?
Thanks.

Mouse Cursor Problem...please Help
I want to change the mouse cursor using two movieclips.
One MC contains a vertical line witch can be dragged from left to right and another MC containing a dot witch can be dragged from top to bottom. So you get a crosshair effect with a dot, instead of a horizontal line.
It works perfect but the problem is....I can't click buttons anymore !
This are the actionscripts I use:
MC vertical line:
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
Mouse.hide();
startDrag ("_root.line", true, 0, 250.5, 751,250.5);
}
MC dot:
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
_root.dot._x = _root._xmouse;
_root.dot._y = _root._ymouse;
}
Can anyone help me ?

Mouse-cursor Following Spotlight
Do you remember the masking (spotlight) example in the flash5 help file; I'm trying to achieve that effect but the only difference is I want the spotlight to go wherever the mouse cursor is. I tried masking, but it would not follow the mouse. Is there a solution with action-scripting?
Any suggestions?

Restraining The Mouse Cursor~ How?
Hello,
I read somewhere, and played some games (such as the Teletubbies Killing thing) where the mouse cursor can be restrained to a certain area of the movie.
Meaning that you can make the mouse not able to move over specified areas of the movie.
Could someone please teach me how to do this, or refer me to a tutorial?
Thank you.

Changing The Mouse Cursor
I want to change the mouse cursor within a flash movie only when the mouse is over a rectangular area on the screen, but be the usual pointer when it is in the area outside. I used the Mouse.hide action to hide the original cursor but it hides it on the whole movie unless you're over the rectangular area. Does anyone know a way around this? I tried putting Mouse.show() in the overall actions which didn't work.
