Good Way To Dragdrop Mc To A Sticky Grid With Grid Cells That Animate.
Is there a way to get mc._dropTarget to recognize a hidden MC it drops on?

I have am trying to drag drop a movie clip item onto a 9 by 6 grid. The user should not see the grid. Each grid cell has a number of properties, including an animation that plays in it depending on what is dropped in it. What is the best way to do this. I came up with two ways:

A. Do the math:
1. Figure out what the drop point x and y values would convert to in the grid to find the grid cell it applies to.
2. Attach a new movie clip animation to that cell's centered x,y point to show something happened there.


B. Fill the grid with Movie Clips:
Use the mc._droptarget to see what grid cell movie clip was dropped on and then change its animated state to show something happened there.

The problem with A is that it is a little slow and cumbersome.

The problem with B is that I can't let the user see the cell movieclips. mc._droptarget only works to detect if a mc was dropped on visible graphic area of another mc as far as I can tell.

I could sure use some help on this. Is there a better way?

Grid Thumbnail With Dynamic Grid Lists
After 3 days of browsing and searching any sollution for my problem I decided to ask you directly here. I really like the thumbnail gallery for its simplicity and beauty. But I would like to ad or vertical scroller (I'm unable to find it here too, maybe I'm blind, just I'm more at the end of my seeking options) or a make a grid thumbnails, that will show 2 columns of thumbs and 5 pictures in each columns, then under the 2 columns i would like to ad a sort of arrow or button that if my gallery have more then 10 pictures it will go on the next thumbnail list. I'm not looking for any extra fading effects or special movements. Just would love to have a single thumbnail grid on side, with option to have lists of thumbnails by 10 if there is more then 10 pictures or so. If somebody can please redirect me or help me I would be very happy, also other ppl here that are seeking for the similar. thank you

Help With Accessing Grid Spaces In A Grid
Hi Guys

I need a bit of help with my coding. I'm building a small editor that allows users to place electrical components onto a grid so that they can see how electricity works. I have built a grid using an array and for loops and attach movieclips dynamically to that grid. What I want the moviclips to do is to look in the four spaces either side of itself i.e. up, down, left and right. I have managed to pull the grid coordinates out of the grid which enables me to tell the clip which grid space to look at but have been unable to successfully get the code to work.

Here is my code:

myGrid = [[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1],
[1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1],
[1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1],
[1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1],
[1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1],
[1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1],
[1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1],
[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]];

var board:Object=new Object();
board.tileWidth = 30;
board.tileHeight = 30;
board.depth = 1;
board.path = this.grid;


function buildGrid(map){
var mapWidth = map[0].length;
var mapHeight = map.length;
for (var j:Number = 0; j<mapHeight; ++j){
for (var i:Number = 0; i<mapWidth; ++i){
var Tilename:String = "cell"+j+"_"+i;
var x:Number = i*board.tileWidth;
var y:Number = j*board.tileHeight;
var type:Number = map[j][i];

board.path.attachMovie("tile", Tilename, ++board.depth);

switch(type){
case 0:
board.path[Tilename].dropable = true;
break;
case 1:
board.path[Tilename].dropable = false;
break;
}
board.path[Tilename]._x = x;
board.path[Tilename]._y = y;
board.path[Tilename].gotoAndStop((type+1));
//trace(board.path);
//trace (i);

var depth:Number = 2001;
power.onPress = function(){
this.startDrag();
}
power.onRelease = function(){
this.stopDrag();

}

_root.board.path.powersource.onRelease = function(){
//this code gets the grid/cell/i_j reference and converts it to numbers that
//gives the x and y position within the array
var gridPos = this._droptarget;
var xcellRef = gridPos.substring (12);
var ycellRef = gridPos.substring (10, 11);
//these variables turn the string values into numbers
var Gridx:Number = xcellRef - 0;
var Gridy:Number = ycellRef - 0;
trace ("current x position is::" +Gridx);
//trace ("curent y position is ::" +Gridy);
//var gridCheck:Number = Gridx+1;//check to the right
//trace ("the square on my right is::" +gridCheck);
if (Gridx+1 == _root.board.path.brightlamp){
trace ("something is there!");
}else{
trace ("nope nothing here!");
}
snapto=30;
_root.board.path.powersource._rotation += 90;
Newx = Math.round(_root.board.path.powersource._x/snapto)*snapto;
Newy = Math.round(_root.board.path.powersource._y/snapto)*snapto;

Grid Equations | Convert Array To Grid, And X/y To Array Pos
Grids? inside Grids? What?!

So recently I have been getting into grids for interactivity solutions surrounding drag/drop of movieClips. Without doing any internet searching (good/bad?) I sat down with a pad and pen and tried to calculate an equation to help control the code for a couple reasons.

First; I had been using something to increment the rows and columns which let the columns determine when a new row would start. This is messy and just bloats the code.


Code:


   (not actual code)

   for ( var i = 0;  i < len; i++ )
   {
      if( column > totalcolumns )
      {
         column = 0;
         row++;
      }
      else
      {
         column++;
      }

      xPos = column * columnSpace;
   }


[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15]

[converts array of items to grid positions]

1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5
6 . 7 . 8 . 9 . 10
11. 12. 13. 14. 15



Second; I wanted to determine where a drop occurred in a grid without doing hitTests on more than one item and trying to rationalize < > positions. So I ended up writing out a bunch of numbers, looking at the remainders and eventually leveraging % . (which I later found out is what everyone else probably uses ? the easy way). But how can I make the grid react to my [ _xmouse , _ymouse ] position when dragging an item?


Code:


   (actual code)

   var newY = Math.floor( i / cols ) * ySpace;
   var newX = ( i % cols ) * xSpace;



[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15]

[converts array of items to grid positions ( with less code ) ]

1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5
6 . 7 . 8 . 9 . 10
11. 12. 13. 14. 15



To solve the second problem I worked backwards and was able to write a way based on [x,y] that finds a position in a grid array and splices my drag item right inside to temporarily resort on the fly. So onMouseMove it looks like all the items adjust to the item I am dragging when over it's future position in the current grid.

To get the position, it looked something like;


Code:


function getGridPos ( newX, newY, array, cols, startX, startY, xSpace, ySpace)
   {
      var len = array.length;

      // max bounds
      var xMaxPosition = cols * xSpace + startX;      
      var yMaxPosition = Math.floor( len / cols ) * ySpace + startY;

      // percentage of width/height
      var xpos = ( ( xMaxPosition - startX  ) / xSpace );
      var ypos = ( ( yMaxPosition - startY  ) / ySpace );

      // convert to position in array
      var xposProduct = Math.floor( ypos ) * cols
      var yposProduct = Math.floor( xpos );

      // position in array
      var newPos = xposProduct + yposProduct;

      return newPos;

   }

      // get array position from x,y
      var arrayPosition = getGridPos ( _xmouse, _ymouse , tempArray, cols, startX, startY, xSpace, ySpace );

      // put inside temp array
      tempArray.splice( arrayPosition , 0 , my_mc );

      // sort new items
      arrayGridSort( tempArray, cols, startX, startY, xSpace, ySpace );




[p = mouse position ]

1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5
6 . 7  p8 . 9 . 10
11. 12. 13. 14. 15

[converts x/y position (p) to an array position]

[1,2,3,4,5,6,7, p, 8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15]

[resulting grid resort ]

1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5
6 . 7 . p . 8 . 9
10. 11. 12. 13. 14
15




So this works great. I?m able to know exactly where a point converts to an array position which helped me build a class for all future projects, GREAT 2.0! Now I can have a grid resorting when I just drag over and and the array position is known before I drop the item I'm holding - with drastically less code than I had been using previously!


HERE IS THE PROBLEM / CHALLENGE


So for complication sake (and this is more of a challenge than a problem ) what if I want to do the same thing but make groupings? Like, for every 2 columns - items space out 50 extra pixels and likewise for the y values? I understand how to make that function one way, but I have no idea on how to convert that back into an array position as I have been using in the previous example.


Code:


[ colGroups of 2 , colSpacing of 100 ]

1 . 2 . . . . . . 3 . 4  . . . . . . . 5 .6
7 . 8 . . . . . . 9 .10  . . . . . . .11.12
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
13.14  . . . .  . 15.16  . . . . .. . p17.18
19.20  . . . .  . 21.22  . . . .  . . 23.34



Now it?s easy to make that go one way;


Code:


   // original xGrid equation
   var newX = (i % cols) * xSpace;

   // additional xGrid Groupings equation
   var xGroups = 2;
   var xGroupSpace = 100;
   newX += Math.floor(   (i % cols) / xGroups )  * xGroupSpace;




And While that is all said and dandy? What the heck is the reverse of that function to put it back into array form? The problem is just that my current reverse equation really only works on the percentage of the width/height - and that does not take segments into consideration. (solution: bezier hybrid maybe?)

So anybody a math whiz out there? Can I get a little Penner help? I don't need this done ASAP but it would be cool to not have to look back on this problem again.

Thanks!!

Asking For Active X
EDIT:

never mind, me stupid

Active X Fix?
I recently installed the express flash player script onto this page http://www.itisredmovie.com/itisred/main.htm
and as far as i know it seems to work but now I need to include a script that lets flash run on IE without clicking on the page to activate it. I've installed the extension needed for this but I do not know how to apply the script in conjunction with the express install. If i could get any extra help with that I think i would be on my way to perfection....I'm not really good at writing javascript only copying and pasting

[CS3] If Active
Hello all. I have here a simple statement that checks if user is using the button and if not, plays the over state. But somehow, it doesn't work. Please help.

First I tell it that if user rolls over the button, isb1active becomes true, and when user rolls out of it, it becomes false.

Code:
this.b1.onRollOver = function() {

b1.gotoAndPlay("_over");
isb1active = true;
}

this.b1.onRollOut = function() {

b1.gotoAndPlay("_down");
isb1active = false;
}
Then when I need the button to animate later on its own, it checks first if the user is using it or not.

Code:
if (isb1active == true) {
b1.gotoAndStop("_deja");
} else {
b1.gotoAndPlay("_over");
}
b1.enabled = false;
And at the end, it goes down again but only if user isn't using it.

Code:
if (isb1active == true) {
b1.gotoAndStop(10);
} else {
b1.gotoAndPlay("_down");
}
b1.enabled = true;
And when user goes over it, it works but when the user rolls out of it, it doesn't change isb1active to false, or if it does, nothing happens.


Please help,
cheers...rodney

Active X
Hello,
Does anyone know how to stop the active x control in IE from interfering with my flash website? I know it is a security feature of ie, and I could turn it off in the browser, but I want other people with the default security settings to be able to enter my site easily. Firefox and Netscape do not have this problem, only IE 6 and 7....

The Problem: Every time I enter a new page on my flash web site there is a box around the content that says 'click to activate and use this control' It is a small issue, but it may cause confusion with some people, and it just doesn't look right....

The URL: http//:www.monsterclaw.com

Please check it out and if anyone has an answer it would be greatly appreciated.

---

Active X
Flash controls fail to work with the latest active x update. So if you have an swf embedded in an html document and you're using a any kind of click on controls in flash you have to first click on the flash file before it works.

I downloaded the fix from the flash website (Flash Active Content Update). It works fine as long as the swf file is in the same folder as the html folder. If I try to put the .swf file in another folder it doesn't work even if I publish it that way.

Has anybody else noticed this or had the same problem or know a solution besides keeping them in the same folder?

Thanks....

Which Textfield Is Active?
Hi everybody,

I've got five Textfields on one Frame. The User has to make an entry. It will be evaluated. The User has also the possibility to click on a 'solution' button which will display the right answer in the active Textfield. My problem is, how can i detect which one of the five Textfields is active. I made several trials with the Selection.getFocus() and -setFocus() Objects. Without success, unhappily.:-(

I'm thankful for every help

thanx d.c.g.

Active Buttons
Hello,
I have a manu with several buttons.
The effect I want is that when a button is clicked, it causes an animation to play(I know how to do that), and I need the button to change color. One of the ways that I was adviced, was that on release of the button I jump to the "n" frame where the button has the right color, but if I have 10-15 buttons, this way is a bot messy with great numbers of buttons.
Is there another way to do upper mentioned effect ?
Thank you in advance,
CZealot
P.S. I am not very good at ActionScripting, and a more detailed answer would be welcome.

Buttons Below Still Active
Hi,
I have a problem with my calender since I added a second year.
http://www.visi.com/~mgason/calendar/calendar.htm

problem is this, I use swap depth to flip between years. The dates indicate correctly in all years, but today I noticed that buttons in the year underneath stay active.
So if you are in 2003 for instance and click march 23rd (even though its not hi-lited) you in fact are clicking march 23 2002 in the movie beneath. try it.

any way to kill those underlying buttons?

mark
(yes I know its just like stuff by joshua davis! I stole the concept. but it works, I figured the code out myself a long time ago, and I only do flash for fun, never made a penny from it)

My site, that I get about 10 minutes aday to work on is www.fpsweb.org ...thanks in advance

Active X Rotation?
I'm trying to rotate a movie clip after clicking a button.
The movie clip rotates as i want i to, but it doesn't do it in an animate fashion.

I'm trying to not use a tween because there seems there would be more complication with how it rotates, because I want it to rotate both left and right.

I tried a copy of someone's setInterval() code but there were too many holes in the code for something to go wrong.

Then using my previous programming background I tried a for next loop.
//rotate right
for( a = 0; a < 90; a++)
{
Links._rotation++;
}

//rotate left
for( a = 90; a > 0; a--)
{
Links._rotation--;
}

It rotates in the blink of an eye.
is there a pause method to slow it down?

Or any other possible way to do this?

Please help....

Active Window
Hi, I feel really stupid posting this, but I cant figure out what the heck is going wrong.
Ok so im trying to make a flash that will simulate windows. I got my windows to min, close and resize and drag. Now im trying to make an active window thing, were if clicked, the MovieClip will come to the front. So inside my MC window, i have on the button
this.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth()-1);
so that it will find the highest depth in the MC that is holding the window MC, wich I called menu.
So i have multiple instinces of the window MC in the menu MC. So when the bar is clicked on one of windows MC, it does wut I want, it comes to the front. But wen I "close" the window MC's (it doesnt actualy leave the timeline, the window mc goes to a frame with nothing on it) and duplicate them, the duplicated MCs do not come to the front wen I click on the bar. I have the duplicates depths set to incrimate by 1 everytime they r dupliacted. I dunno, mabey something with the duplicates depths throws it off.

edit~~
another attempt I made was making the duplicated movies depths to be
getNextHighestDepth()
but when clicked, the newest MC replaces the old one, which means the depth is allready taken, which is confusing because getNextHighestDepth() is supose to get the next depth thats not taken. I dunno :-(

Active Buttons
I'm not really new to flash ... but never done this before and just can't seem to think of how to do it. And sense he search button on the forums is gone, and the Search Site feature breaks on me ... well I'll ask

I have a button it does a color fade with I hover over it. How do I make it stay on the over animation if it is clicked on? To show it is the active page?

Active Buttons
hi, i got 2 buttons of which only but2 controls a mc ('clip1'). the two buttons are mcs also and should look like activ/not activ. normally they work but they don't when i put them in my movie. the layer above them contains the AS for controlling the mcs. so what i would need is the following: but1 should look activ (clip 'detail' plays) but2 is not activ then. when clicking but2 clip1 plays and but2 is activ whereas but1 is not activ. sorry that i can't describe it better. i think you will see the problem. i would be really thankful for any help as it is a really urgent...

Active X Problem
Everytime I preview the site I am building, my explorer blocks it as a potentially dangerous site and I always have to click to allow blocked content.

I have changed my security settings in explorer but this still happens, however when regular surfing, I have never come across any sites where this happens. And I know that some sites are complete flash sites. Do I need to do something to my flash file to bypass this? I don't want to to happen to every viewer who visits the site or no one will enter or come back.

Also, someone posted a link to a Harry Potter site that give a warning about the pop up blocker being detected and asks the user to turn it off then re-enter the site, how do you script that and where???

Active Search
I'm trying to follow Flash Junkie's "Active Search tutorial".
When I open the SWF from the ZIP file (downloaded from flashkit) the links work perfectly. However, when I open Active_Search_List.fla, then publish it (without modifying it from how it came out of the ZIP) the links won't work. Instead of going to MTV.com, the browser address shows "http:/%20/www.mtv.com".

Is this a version issue since the original was posted so long ago?

I've seen several posts regarding the same issues but no responses. Can one of the heavyweights throw a punch at this?

Anything would be of great help.

Thanks!

How To Tell If A SWF Is Active/deactive
Hi
When you click outside a Flash movie, in the browser, any key events are ignored by the flash movie (because it's not active untill you click it). Does anyone know if there’s a way to tell if a movie is active / inactive?

Please help me out …

Need Some Help With Active Search
Hi, I've come across this most excellent movie here, and I'm basically tinkering with it. I've been learning flash for a little while and I suppose getting reasonably good... find the best way to learn is to do tutorials and mess around with other movies, but this one has me stumped!

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scrip...-114/index.php

I hope the author doesn't mind .

The links in this movie are to external html pages using getUrl... I'm wondering if they can be used to link to a movieclip inside the same flash movie, or perhaps link to another frame?

If anyone can offer any pointers, I will quite happily email them a cup of Darjeeling and a choccy biscuit!

Is UIScrollBar Active?
I'm looking for a way to test if my flash 8 UIScrollBar is active.

I'm dynamically filling up a textField, so if there are only few charecters, the scrollbar is sitting there not active, and not looking so great.

I am trying to write this logic, but don't exactally know how to get it to work. If anybody could help, I would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance..

if(myScroller != active){
myScroller.unloadMovie();
}

Active Search Help
I am in the process to create a fully flash based website and on this website I would like to have a search function in the upper right corner where the user can search though the site.

I found a wonderful tutorial here on Flashkit with the search function here:

http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/In...u-73/index.php

It was just what I was looking for except that when you click on one of the tutorials search results you went to a different homepage. What I would like is to instead for it go to a different frame in the flash file.

All answers would be appreciated
Thanks

Active X Controls
Hi,

I am attempting to write a kiosk that will interact with an animatronic bird using VSA Console.

http://www.brookshiresoftware.com/console_overview.htm

I would like to write it in Flash, because I am very comfortable with animating/using buttons within it. I am really not sure where to begin. I would like for a user to be able to walk up to my touchscreen, touch a button the screen would animate and launch the activex control that would tell VSA to first set a beginning and end point, then play between the two points.

I am not sure if you can just do a button with on click, do activex method and properties?

Thanks in advance for the help,

Webcam Is Really Active ?
Hi Guru,
first of all sorry for my bad english

I made a project with Flash CS3 and AS3 about taking live snapshot from webcam, encoding JPG snapshot and send to server. Everything work fine and the result is good.

Now my problem is:
In some user cases, after they click ALLOW in the security panel, the CAM area is full white until they will not select from the same panel a one valid webcam driver installed.
This because they can have multiple drivers or sometime in the MAC safari need to specified as well.
In real i know how to show that panel to let them to select, but this means for the rest of 90% users they must select as well, when in real is not necessary because after hit ALLOW (unmuted=true) in most of the case is working correctly.

So if the cam is no displayed but only a white screen, a user can take the snapshot as well and send to the server a white photos.

How i can be sure, before take a snapshot, that the cam is really displayed and working ?
I tried a lot, consult many webpages and tutorials, but still not clear about the concept.

I must check the ActivityEvent.ACTIVITY ?
I must check the motionDetect ? I must check what ?
I am missing some properties ?

About my source code is pretty similar to the cam class help guide in flash CS3 (for CAM instance)

Can i have a tip with a sample code, suggestion, or some help ?

Really thanks in advance, it will save me a lot of time.

Active X Warning
I'm using some java script to write to a local file fscommanded from a flash movie. This will be used on a company network not connected to the internet so there are no security issues (that i have to bother about anyway).

Once you've run it once and authorised the script with the virus checker thats not a problem. However it gives me a warning "An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts of the page. Do you want to allow this interaction?".

From what i've read low security settings on the security tab in ie should mean this message doesn't appear. However I still get it. Any one know how to sort this? (or a site more geared to answering this kind of problem?)

Active Text Box?....can You Tell?
I'm trying to find a way to make a button appear only when 1 of or both of two options or true.

I have two text boxes, the first lets the user enter a file name to load on then diplayes the file in the second, the second box is also an input box to alow the user to edit the file.

If the user enters an incorect file name an error appears in the second box.

I want the button to appear if a correct file name is entered, and or if the second box contains text.

any hints, thanks

Button Still Active
hey guys

Promblem on my site:

link

"When you select an option in the portfolio section, the link you selected remains active when the content loads over it. Move the mouse pointer around over the white area to the left of the photo of the girl, you'll see what I mean."

I'm struggling to stop that happening - as the button that is causing the problem is within the sliding page - I can't take the sliding page out of that section of the movie as if I do when the user closes the portfolio section the sliding page will slide back to the "about" section - instead of returning to the portfolio main section which there were at (sliding page portfolio section)

I tried another way which was to add a solid colour over where the buttons would be to block them on the layer above the sliding pages - but that didn't work either

I have a feeling this is going to be a tricky one...hope somebody can help to solve this issue

Active Content Fix
Hi people.
Sorry to be a pain with what may be a silly question.
In Flash Professional (9) how do you get to the preferences to turn on the built in fix for dealing with those nasty borders and the popup message when you use Flash content on websites.........

I have had this problem for some time and I am sorry to be a dummy, but I just cannot work it out and it annoys me no end........

Thanks in advance
Glen Gibbs
