Flash :: Followoing Mouse On Y Axis

Mouse Follow 1 Axis Only
I got a action script (http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Special_Effects/StartDra-Arran_Sc-639/index.shtml) where a movie clip follows my mouse on 1 axis only, this works very fine

But when i move my mouse to another area of the browser the mouse follow does not stop. Is there a possibility to stop the moving???

I hope u understand my problem and I thank u in advance

Mouse Scroll Y Axis Help
hello

i have set up a mouse scroll that pulls a movie left/right according to mouse position on x axis. however, this is on level 1 and uses whole of the movie area, therefore obscuring my buttons that show through from level 0

my question, can i limit the y axis for the mouse action to function with an if statement:

if (y_mouse>300)&&(y_mouse<350) {

therefor, if you are not in this 50 pixel gap the rest of the code will not funtion and my buttons from level 0 will function. will this code work? i ask because i cannot test it for a few days but need to know whether this is what i should do.

thanks

Following The Mouse On A Slanted Axis...
Hello there,
I have searched the depths of the internet and have not found this questions! So if any body can even add something you might know about it or any ideas please give!

There are many tutorials on Objects folloing the mouse in a vertical and Horiz. form, but what if you want the object to follow the mouse on a slanted path!

I want a Movie clip to move slowly to my mouse when I hightlight a button on the slanted path.

Thanks,
Mr. Indigo

P.S. I know how to setProperty() but moving the Movieclip slowly to the location were the Property is set is the problem!

Arrow MC Following Y Axis Of Mouse
Hi,

I'm creating an interactive menu in Flash 5. As the user moves the cursor over a line of text a small arrow (movie clip) slides along the Y axis to the left of the menu as a visual aid to show which menu item is being selected.

Now, I've got this working using a small actionscript attached to the arrow:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
arrow = _root._ymouse-1-_y;
_y = _y+(arrow/4);
}

This works fine, but I need to change a few of things and being new to actionscripting, I'm at a loss.

Firstly, I need the Y movement of the arrow to stop at the top and bottom of the menu items. At the moment, if the arrow is moved beyond the menu, the arrow keeps moving. I need it to stop at the top item or the bottom item.

Secondly, I want the arrow to appear 'sticky'...so that for instance, if the cursor is over the second line in the menu, the arrow sticks to a location on the Y axis (so it doesn't slide around while the user is selecting a menu item). Once the cursor is moved from the second line to the third, the cursor then slides down until it 'sticks' to the third line. It's hard to explain, but I hope you get the idea.

Finally, I want the arrow's alpha to be 0% if the cursor rolls out of the flash window so it disappears when it isn't needed. Obviously, when the cursor is brought back, the alpha needs to go back to 100% so the arrow 'appears' again.

I've enclosed the flash file so you can see what I've done so far. Any help on this would be really appreciated.

Flash 5 MC Follows Mouse On X Axis But Needs Taming.... Help?
can anyone help with this problem i have?

i am using flash 5

i have made a MC follow the mouse along the X axis which works really well. BUT when the mouse goes close to the edge of the SWF boundries the MC follows it right to the edge, which looks messy.

i would like to know how to code a bit of script which will allow me to set up some form of boundry box round the edge of the SWF file so when the mouse goes to the edge the MC following it would stop at a certain point. Can this be done?

it would also be cool if when the MC hits this boundry it could bounce back a little bit, just so it doesn't stop in a nasty way.....

any help on this would be fantastic.

i've included the fla file too.

Help With 3d Rotating Nav (depth, Axis, Mouse Etc)
ok I am not even sure where to begin on this one...I am sure I have seen one like it before used on a website but can't remember where.
anyway I want something like this http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/3D...-801/index.php

where the mouse controls the depth and axis of the buttons.
what I want is this to be the menu system, where the buttons are sort of floating, rotating....and if you mouse over a button, it rotates to the front, it should get bigger when near the front and the back buttons smaller, if clicked on a sub mav should pop out...is there a fla out there or tutorial better than the flower one that has depth etc?

X+Y Axis Scroll, Reacting To Mouse?
Hi there

To make a long story short, i have a scene, with a huge movieclip on it, lets say that movieclip is called "box". Now i want to be able to navigate around with my mouse... Not by clicking, or dragging scrollbars or the actual movieclip, but like any other scrolling image gallery, when i move my mouse to the left of center, the movieclip moves to the right. If i move up, the movieclip moves down.
I am able to make this work on either the Y or the X axis, but when i try to combine those two, i doesnt work as intended.
If you dont know what i mean, here is a link of the behavior i want

http://www.flashimagegallery.com/pics/artwork/

Click on the sketch of a guy who is number two, in the second row.
Actually it moves the wrong way when you move the mouse, but that should be easy to change with some minus characters.

Can anyone help me out figuring this code out? Ive searched for days, trying to find what im looking for, and ive even posted on 2 other forums before i found this one, but i havent got a reply yet, which im hoping to get here, cause this forum seems to be a bit more pro, that the others ive used.

Thanks in advance

Looking For Tutorial On Menu Where Mc Follows Mouse On Y-axis...
I'm looking for a tutorial or firsthand knowledge on adding a movie clip to a menu that follows the mouse along the y-axis -- so basically when a user rolls over a link in the navbar, the mc goes down to the same y-coordinate.

The reason I can't find it is that I don't know what name that kind of menu goes by online, I've tried so many combinations. If anyone can point in the right direction, I would be grateful.

Rotate On Axis With Mouse Easing
I have a mc that I want to continously rotate, I want it to rotate in whatever direction the mouse is from the center of the mc. If the user pulls the mouse out I would like for it to speed up and slow down accordingly.

If this is not possible, I wouldnt cry.

Any way when the user goes over a desiginated area I would like for the motion to stop until they pull away again.

How would I go about doing this.

I've seen this thread but don't understand where to attach the script, and I also need the stopping script.

Mouse Responding Axis Motion
Dear users.
A couple of years ago I stumbled upon a site of a female dj with a dragon tattoo.
there was a banner on the top of her website that, when you moved your mouse horizontally - anywhere on the site - the picture in the banner would change.
actualy, it was a movie that, if you move your mouse from left to right, would be played but when you stop moving the mouse, the movie would freeze as wel.
it was both forward and backward-moving.
I've been looking very hard for the same thing, but all I can find is those backgrounds that scroll from left to right as you move your mouse.

so it's a little like this tutorial http://tutorialoutpost.com/count/142 exept that it doesn't switch between the pictures, but a movie is being played forward and backward (imagine scratching but with a video instead of a record) when you move your mouse from left to right.

anybody seen a tutorial on this one? thankx !

Movie Clip Following Mouse Y-Axis | Urgent Help
Hello,

This is my first post, but I hope to make use of these forums.

My question I hope I can explain in enough detail so you understand what I'm trying to do.

I'm doing work for a temporary flash website for a client. The idea is that the navigation runs up and down (vertical) and to the left of it, the logo is placed.

Now, the logo has a green arrow on the right side (pointing to the navigation) and when the user mouses over the navigational links, the idea is that the logo would follow the cursor movements and if the mouse stops over one of the links, the logo would ease to the left of that link (arrow pointing at link).

Attached, is an image of what the navigation and logo placement looks like. I've blacked out the logo for now as I'm not able to reveal who the client is.

I'm not too fluent in ActionScript to pull this off myself and so hope to find help here.

I hope I made sense.

An example to some degree can be seen here:

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/followease.htm

Where if you pretend it can't go left and right, but only up and down. Also, the logo wouldn't be directly on the cursor. The "active" area would only be the Navigation Links. When the mouse is over them (hidden movie clip to activate that?).

Does that make sense? I know exactly what I need to do, it's just hard to explain without being TOO wordy.

On Mouse Press + Y-axis Movement, Activate Movieclip
Hey, Im pretty new to actionscripts and trying to figure out how to solve this:

I want to activate movieclip1 when 2 conditions are filled; pressing down a mouse button and dragging the mouse in y-axis (moved more than 10 pixels up). If only the mouse down condition is filled, movieclip2 will get activated.

Im trying to pull it off with something like this but cant figure out how to make the onMouseMove listen for only the y-axis position change.

onMouseDown = function (){
movieclip1.gotoAndPlay(1);
onMouseMove = function (){
movieclip2.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}

onMouseUp=function(){

onMouseMove=null;
}

Is this all wrong?

When I put the mouse controlled object as well as the code to control it - into my other movie , the movie only played the first 2 frames --- as it was looping as specified in the tutorial. I would like to have my movie play correctly yet also have the mouse controlled object in my movie(which most probably be in a MC.

X Axis, Y Axis, Location Problem
Hello Friends,

I am having an alignment problem.

I have 5 buttons (actually they are pages of text turned into to buttons), my stage is 780x420. I have the first page (their size is w=109.7 h=151.8) coming in at x=379.7 - y=291.8 on the stage, I am using motion tween to get the first page to point x=59.9 - y=291.8, thats fine, now, I want to put a movie clip in the over state of the button that when the mouse moves over the page, the page will move back to center and go from 25% (which is the height and width of the page now) to 100% on of its size.

Ok

So, when I am setting up my movie clips motion tween in the edit stage of the movie, I use the same coordinates as the actual page has on the stage (stage size is the same), but when I put the movie together, they don't line up and it just goes crazy on the stage. I have a "stop" action on the last frame of the movie clip but still don't work properly.

Any advice would be appreciated

Thank you

Sliding Stuff On X Axis Vs. Y Axis
hi everyone,

i did a tutorial on sliding menus from the kirupa site, it's here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20...ith_slider.htm

i've made a lot of great stuff with it, my menus are sliding all over the place as we speak, but only on the x axis.

now i'm trying to make one that slides up and down on the y axis, and i can't get the coding to make it work right. i have seven buttons this time instead of 5, and i've changed all the "x's" in the actionscript to "y's"

it still slides along the x axis!!!!! what's going on. does flash not like using the y axis. perhaps this is impossible?

this is the code, maybe someone can tell me what i'm doing wrong?

easeSpeed = 5;

slider_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._y += (yMove1-this._y)/easeSpeed;
};
button_1.onPress = function() {
yMove = button_1._y;
};
button_2.onPress = function() {
yMove = button_2._y;
};
button_3.onPress = function() {
yMove = button_3._y;
};
button_4.onPress = function() {
yMove = button_4._y;
};
button_5.onPress = function() {
yMove = button_5._y;
};
button_6.onPress = function() {
yMove = button_6._y;
};
button_7.onPress = function() {
yMove = button_7._y;
};

Z Axis
I also am new to animation. I am trying to animate text by moving it along a z axis. The closest to this would be in the start titles of all Star Wars movies eg

Episode IV
A new hope
It is a time of turmoil etc.

In this title, the text appears to slide in from the bottom, changing its X axis as it does so thereby making it smaller. However the slide looks to me as if it is a 3D effect moving along the Z axis rather than the Y axis. I can't see how this is done with Swish. Any help would be appreciated.

Sliding MC Across X Axis +PLEASE HELP+
OK, I'll try to make as much sense as possible...
I have a movie clip whose position along the x axis is controlled by buttons at the top. The buttons actions for moving my movie clip are as follws:

on (release) (
_root.movieclip.xpos = 100;
)

I need 2 more buttons which tell my movie clip to go forwards or backwards by 750. My buttons tell the movie clip EXACTLY where to stop along the x-axis,
but I can't seem to figure out how to tell my movie clip to slide along in the same way by 750 at a time.

This is the action attatched to the movie clip which gives it that sliding effect...

onClipEvent (enterframe) {
Xsquare = _root.movieclip._x;
Xdiff = Xpos - Xsquare;
Xmove = xdiff/6;
_root.movieclip._x = Xsquare+move;
updateAfterEvent (enterframe);
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much

Revolve On Y Axis
i am in need of assistance in the animation of a 3d menu item. i have a ~ 1"x1" bible that i want to spin on its Y axis while in mouse rollover state.

i cant think of anyway to do this with a motion guide (am i wrong?)

creating a motion tween and having the book in its regular state at the first keyframe than choose modify>transform>flip horizontal at the last keyframe wont work because it will only appear to spin 180 degrees than flip back 180 degrees as opposed to spinning 360 degrees continuosly.

so im hoping there might be a way to do this with AS but I cant find anything in my foundation AS book or online.

Rotating On Axis
Hello once again! Hope all is well. I am having a problem with rotating a circle. Now I know that if you draw a flat circle and put a rotate on it, it would'nt look like it is rotating, So I added some lines to it, and a sphere in the center. When I add a rotation on it, It does'nt spin on its axis. You can see it move slightly off course. Now the circle is perfectly round, not oval. Can someone help me with rotating this circle in one spot on its proper axis.
