Flash :: How Can I Count Mouse Clicks With As?

How Do I Make A Movie Appear When The Mouse Clicks And Where The Mouse Is?
I am making a game, and I need to know how to make a Movie Clip appear when the mouse clicks, at the spot the mouse is. (In the game, you have a gun and hunt things. I want a bullet hole to appear where the mouse is when you fire (click). How do you do that?)

Couting Mouse Clicks?
hi, i am using flash five and am trying to figure out some actionscript code that will allow me to count every time the user clicks the mouse in one of my movies.

can someone please help me.

i have figured out how count mouse click by using a button the same size as the area that i want, so everytime the user misses the target required the value of e.g. misses is updated by one.

but this is not how i want it.

thanks in advance.

Left And Right Mouse Clicks
Hi All,
I have script that currently has "stuff" happening when a keyboard key is pressed, but I would like to be able to do the same thing when the mouse buttons are clicked.

At the moment, pressing <Enter> starts 2 timers running, pressing <1> records the time from the first timer and pressing <2> will record the time from second timer.

I would like to be able to get the same result as pressing keys <1> and <2> by pressing the left and right mouse buttons.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Multiple Mouse Clicks
is there a way to in Flash to set the mouse to click multiple times with one click of the mouse?

Example: The user clicks the mouse once and holds the mouse button down. Instead of one click Flash is reading this as multiple clicks until the user lets go of the mouse.

Thanks!

Detecting Mouse Clicks
i have some movie clips on the stage and the background of these movie clips are, of course, the stage. now, i need to detect a click on any area of the background(the stage) to do something to the movieclips above it.

What I did is, I laid a movieclip which has the same size as the stage, above the Stage and below the other movieclips. I then set this movieclip to visible = false. Next, I thought I could use onMouseDown to get the clicks but unfortunately, it isn't working because onMouseDown detects the click on anywhere I click.

I am not using onPress because I don't want to have the hand cursor appearing on the entire flash movie.

How can I do to detect mouse clicks within a movie clip, without using the onPress, which comes with the hand cursor?

thanks!

Differentiating Left And Right Mouse Clicks
Hello,

Is there a way to differentiate between a left mouse click and a right mouse click? I have an interactive demo that runs for a while until a one-liner bullet comes up. After appearing, the movie stops until the moderator desires to proceed. The moderator will use a remote mouse with left and right buttons. I would like for the moderator to use the left mouse button to go forward in frames, and the right mouse button to go backwards.

How is this possible?
Thank you so much!

Not Capturing Mouse Clicks BLARGH
Welp, I posted this before but the traffic is so heavy here the post is like 10 pages back by now. I'm attaching some event handlers to a nested movie clip but they're not capturing mouse clicks. They don't seem to be running at all. Someone posted some code that did show that it can be done, but it is identical to what I have but mine isn't working. Could it be because I'm loading a JPG into the movie clip? Any help would be appreciated. I'm at my wit's end here. This in in the onLoad function of a clip:

//attach the sample movie clips
this.container_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("sample1",0 );
// press event handler
this.container_mc.sample1.onPress = function () {
trace ("onPress called");
};
this.container_mc.sample1.loadMovie("jpcover.jpg") ;

Handling Mouse Clicks In Paint App
I've got this paint app which uses a onMouseDown function to draw shapes over a bg image. I placed a controlBar MC over the stage that is used to choose shape/color/undo. However, the undo button won't work properly because when the button is pressed another shape is created/and removed simultaneously.

How do I remedy this problem? How would I specify/handle mouse clicks on two areas/depths on this app?

Thanks for any assistance!

Detecting Missing Mouse Clicks?
There are some times when a user clicks on a movie clip in my SWF that the mouse click goes undetected by any of my mouse event handlers.

I even added a MouseClick listener at the root sprite of my SWF.

Is there any way to detect where this mouse click is going, and why it is not being detected by anything?

NOTE: I have *only* seen this happen so far when a user clicks on a movie clip that I have dynamically loaded. The movie clip is not playing, and I am manually calling gotoAndStop() on the movie clip various times. Not sure if that is related.

[Flash8] Simulating Mouse Clicks
I'm building a system that will record a user's experience in Flash (where they click and at what time it was). Is it possible to simulate a click? I would use this to replay the user's experience. If not, I guess I'll have to record what button object they clicked on and pass everything through the event handler.

[F8] Must Move Mouse Between Button Clicks - A Glitch?
I'm using AS2 and have only been testing on Flash Player 9, in IE and Firefox. I've searched around and couldn't find anything else like this, so if this is a redundant post then I apologize. I'm not sure this is an ActionScript fixable issue, but...

The problem:

What happens is that sometimes after a click on a button, additional clicks will not register unless the mouse is moved. It doesn't need to be moved off the button hit area, just any kind of movement and then an additional click will register. So, if you keep the mouse still and click 3 times on a button, only the first will register and the last 2 will not. If you move the mouse at least a little between each click, every click will register. As you might expect, this is particularly annoying for coded double-click functionality - it makes it almost impossible.

The most peculiar thing about this is that it doesn't always happen. Sometimes it will work fine (double clicks work without having to move the mouse in between), but over the course of running the SWF in the browser it will start behaving badly, as described above. After this starts happening I have never seen it revert to the correct functionality - it just stays broken. Then later I might open the SWF again and it will be fine for a while. Sometimes it will be broken as soon as I open the SWF. Note that I am not re-compiling in between running the SWF, I'm just opening the same one from the same compile - but sometimes it works correctly, sometimes it doesn't. Also, when I do happen to recompile it and test in Flash this can also occur in the built-in player (not just in a browser).

Anybody ever seen this (or fixed it )?

Thanks!

Monitoring Number Of User Mouse Clicks
I am working on a project, and I want the number of times the user clicks the mouse anywhere in the project to change what scene they go to next.

What I have now is an action on frame one of the scene:

var playerScore:Number;
playerScore = 0;
watchMouse = new Object();
watchMouse.onMouseDown = function() {
playerScore+=1;
};
Mouse.addListener(watchMouse);

and then in the last frame:

if (playerScore=0) {
gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 1);
} else {
gotoAndStop("Scene 6", "");
}

It always goes to scene 6. Even when I don't click. I want it to go to scene 2 when there are no clicks.

Prevent Mouse Clicks/Hide Hand
Sometimes it's necessary in a Flash project to prevent the user from being able to click on a button at certain times during the presentation. I'll typically add an "invisible" button on top of the button (no graphics in the button except for the hit zone), which does the trick nicely BUT...

The cursor, of course, turns into a hand icon, making the user think it's still a clickable button.

Is there a way to prevent the cursor from changing from an arrow into a hand icon?

Or, is there a better way to make buttons "unclickable" at times?

Detecting Mouse Clicks Within Parts Of A Picture
Hi,

I am wondering if there is a way that you can detect mouse clicks within a picture but only in certain areas. One thing to note as well is that this picture is being loaded dynamically.

I know in html you can create image map for your image so that you can map out certain parts of your picture for clicking. Is there something like that in flash actionscript?

Also, is there something that can detect when I've clicked on certain colors in a picture such as black or white?

Thanks,

Smooth, Short Path Walking Via Mouse Clicks
I just recently started switching from ActionScript 2.0 to 3.0 (I haven't coded in flash for a while), and I've run into an issue with a game that I'm working on.

I'm trying to get a character to walk around by clicking somewhere on the map. However, I don't know how to make the character walk in a "perfect angle" to create the shortest distance between where the character is standing and where you click. So far, I can make the character move between two points, but it moves at an angle until either it's x or y axis is lined up with its destination, and then it'll move in a straight line to get to the opposite axis's position.

Basically, I want to know how I can move a movieClip at an angle to get to a specific x,y coordinate, without it just moving to a slight angle, and then finishing up the rest of the movement in a straight line.

Handling Next / Prev Rapid Successive Mouse Clicks
lets say i have a next / prev button, sprite or movie clip.

i then register a MOUSE.click listener / handler for the next / prev button that increments or decrements a counter var and then calls a function doLoad(counter) to load an img based on the counter.

is there any way to make the listener handler either:

1) determine which of the rapid click events received within a given rapid interval is all but the last click?

My goal is to allow the handler to increment the counter for EVERY click event received but ONLY execute doLoad() ONCE for the last click. Otherwise it fires doLoad for every click which isn't necessary for the loading scenario i'm trying to create.

OR

2) fire doLoad() for each mouse click event but kill doLoad if another mouse click is received within a given interval of the last click?

This semi achieves the same goal described above. It only allows the final doLoad() to run fully to completion. Prior clicks will trigger doLoad but they won't complete.

Basically what i'm asking in #2 is if there is a way to interrupt, kill and hopefully garbage collect a called function from the listener that calls the function. Make sense?

SUMMARY (More general way of looking at my question / goal)

How do people handle rapid fire next prev clicks?

Since every click is going to fire a function call each of which goes on the stack, each function call must finish to completion. What if you don't want all those next / prev function calls to pile up on the stack and only the last one to be executed? Of course, the required behavior should only occur when rapid clicks happen in succession and ONLY WHEN SERIALLY RECEIVED UNDER A PREDETERMINED GIVEN INTERVAL CONSTRAINT?

anybody?

i'm thinking this would be a requirement others have run into before

thanks
