Flash :: Movie Clip Movement

Movie Clip Movement Help
I have four buttons that move the clip up, down, right and left. Here is the script I'm using.

Code:
rightBtn.onPress = function() {
b1 = true;
}
rightBtn.onRelease = function() {
b1 = false;
}
leftBtn.onPress = function() {
b2 = true;
}
leftBtn.onRelease = function() {
b2 = false;
}
upBtn.onPress = function() {
b3 = true;
}
upBtn.onRelease = function() {
b3 = false;
}
downBtn.onPress = function() {
b4 = true;
}
downBtn.onRelease = function() {
b4 = false;
}

small.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x += (b1 - b2) * 4;
this._y += (b4 - b3) * 4;
}
I'm getting some strange results though. Basically if I want to move the clip left it wont work until I click on the right movement button first. Same thing with up and down. I have no idea what's causing this.

Movie Clip Movement Help
SO, i have a movieclip that slides back and forth depending on which way the mouse moves but I need a dead space in the middle of the 800px wide stage so the clip doesn't keep scrolling when I am in the middle so I can click on navigation items... here is the script I am using to make it work... anyone know how to give it a dead space of like 300 px in the middle of 800 px stage?

onClipEvent (load)
{
xcenter=400;
speed=.75/10;

}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)

{
if (_global.menus)
var distance=_root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x+=(distance*speed);
if (_x > 0) _x=0;
if (_x < -870) _x=-870;
}

any help would be much appreciated... Thanks in advance...

Movie Clip Movement With AS.
I just completed a tutorial on how to move a clip with AS. (Very Basic I know)
but I cant figure out how to stop the clip at a certain position using
the x and y axis. Plus im trying to figure out how to cause a clip to ease in
and then bounce with elasticity and inertia then stop at a specified point and Im also trying to figure out how to get multiple clips to respond
to a single button. Thus causing the MCs to retract and hide. Only to be called when the button is clicked. This is for a web portfolio Im working on. Can any one help or point me in the right direction. Thank you very much. For your time and help.

[F8]directional Movie Clip Movement
im making a capture the flag game. all is going smoothly but i have a simple problem that i can't seem to fix. the player will shoot a bullet at the other player and the bullet will fire in the direction the player is facing. the player has only 4 directions available: left, right, up, down.
i assumed that i would need to detect the direction in which the character is facing and then attach the bullet mc with the appropriate speeds of x and y
(if(dir ==1){
bullet._x-=10
}
but, when the character changes direction, so does the bullet. this is because the direction itself gets changed when another arrow key is pressed.
this is where i am stuck. how do i configure the movement of the bullet to correctly represent the direction the character is facing?

Restricting Movie Clip Movement To Squares
Hey, is there a way to restrict a movie clips movement to a bunch of squares? I want it to be able to go certain areas, but not in just a square. So I thought if you put a bunch of squares together you could make a complicated shape that the movieclip could move in. Can it be done?

Fairly Simple Movie Clip Movement...
Pretty simple request, but I just cant figure it out.

I have a movieclip named bgbox with the instance name bgbox.

I have two buttons, one with an arrow pointing left. another with an arrow pointing right.

All i need to make it do is whne you mouseover the arrow on the left, the movieclip named bgbox moves to the left. when you mouseover the arrow on the right, the movieclip named bgbox moves to the right...

Any ideas? I know its pretty simple but Im just beginning.

Continuous Movement Of Movie Clip X,y On Mouse Press
I have a movie clip called "one" The size of the clip is 2100px by 1500px. The flash movie (fla) stage is 700x500, so it obviously isn't all visible. My challenge is have arrow buttons at the bottom of the movie that, when clicked will move the movie clip, "one" across the stage. I would like to have the buttons function so that as long as the left arrow, for example, is in the down position, the movie will continue to move across the stage. Thanks in advance for your help--miramont

[MX04] Moving A Movie Clip With Cursor Movement
Hi there,

There is a particular effect I am trying to replicate. There is an example of it here http://www.mullindesign.com/virtualb...7/brochure.htm

If you go into the brochure then click anywhere in the page you will zoom in. If you then move your mouse around you will see that the content moves as you move the cursor. It is this moving a movie clip around using the cursor that is the effect I am trying to create.

Any help would be appreciated,

Comparing The Movement From A Live Webcam And A Movie Clip
OK... so I used a tutorial from the Adobe website and tried to edit it for a project of my own. It's due in in 2 days time, so I'lm running out of time.

It uses a live webcam and I wanted to compare the movement in the feed to the movement in a movie clip. I've tried my darndest to figure it out, so now I'm asking here.

The tutorial can be found here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/ar...am_motion.html

I'm hoping that if I can apply the following script to an existing movie clip I should be able to apply the two outputs as arrays

All sugestions will be greatly appreciated

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData
import flash.geom.*

function initialize()
{
//create an array that will be the fading image cue
list=new Array()
//create an identity matrix
m=new Matrix()
//scale the transformation matrix to match the scale of the Video object on stage
m.scale((output._xscale/100),(output._yscale/100));
//create a bitmap object in memory that is the same size as the Video object on stage
now=new BitmapData(output._width,output._height)
//create a bitmap object in memory to hold a layered bitmap from the fading image cue
out=new BitmapData(output._width,output._height)
//create a movieclip that can display the final bitmap
this.createEmptyMovieClip("output_mc",this.getNextHighestDepth());
//attach the bitmap inside the holder movie clip
output_mc.attachBitmap(out,1);
//position it to the right of the live Webcam feed
output_mc._x=output._width
output_mc._y=output._y
//call the snap function every 1/10th of a second
setInterval(this,"snap",100)
}

//capture a freezeframe from the webcam and copy it, called regularly do detect movement
function snap()
{
//draw the movieclip into the bitmapdata object object with the scaled transformation matrix
now.draw(output,m);
//copy the current freezeframe
done=now.clone()
//now draw the previous freezeframe ("BEFORE"!) on top of the current frameframe and apply the 'difference' blendmode
done.draw(before,m,null,"difference");
//filter out all pixels in the differenced bitmap that are greater than just over black (0xFF111111) and make them green (0xFF00FF00)
//over-write the previous contents of the bitmap
done.threshold(done,done.rectangle,done.rectangle.topLeft,">",0xFF111111,0xFF00FF00,0x00FFFFFF,false);
//add the finished bitmap to a fading image cue
list.push(done.clone());
//if the cue is now greater than the maximum length we specified
if(list.length > max)
{
//then remove the bitmap at the very front of the cue
//and free the memory it was using
list.shift().dispose();
}
//how many items in the fading cue
var l=list.length
//how much should the green channel deteriate on each degradation
var each=255/l
//declare local var to speed up the loop
var g
//clear the out bitmap object so we can start a fresh
out.fillRect(out.rectangle,0xFF000000);
//copy the current bitmap and save it for the next time this function is called
before=now.clone()
//loop through each bitmap in the fading image cue
for(var i=0;i<l;++i)
{
//determine the current degradation
g=each*i
//copy all the pixels that are green in the current item in the fading image cue and make them into the degradated green color
//add those pixels on top of the bitmap that will displayed to the user
out.threshold(list[i],out.rectangle,out.rectangle.topLeft,"==",0xFF00FF00,(255 << 24 | 0 << 16 | g << 8 | 0),0x00FFFFFF,false);
}
}

How Do I Set An Area Of A Movie Clip So I Can Tracks The Mouse Movement?
How do I set an area of a movie clip so I can tracks the mouse movement?

I don't know actionscript, so I am asking for help with this.

1. I would like to make a MC invisible when the mouse is not over it.
2. I don't want to use button controls because I have buttons nested within the MC.

Something like

if mouse x and y is in the area then MC is visible
else MC is not visible

Does ActionScripting Movement For A Movie Clip Reduce File Size?
I'm new to using ActionScript and decided to go back to an older project and control the movement of some of the bigger bitmaps using scripts instead of tweens. Upon saving however, it didn't seem like it saved me anything in the file size dept to do this (even though it worked just fine) which surprises me since it seems like removing keyframes and tweens would do this. Does anyone have some insight on if and how ActionScript can be appled to reduce overall file size?

Thanks,

Making A Movie Clip In A Movie Clip Go To The Next Frame Of The Original Movie Clip
I have a movie clip (for simplicity I'll call it movie_a) in movie_a I have another movie clip movie_b.

in movie_a i have a button that when pressed makes movie_b play (it has a stop frame every once in a while so the button acts as a "next" button)

I want it so that when i get to the last frame of movie_b and press the button, it will go to the next frame of movie_a

I hope that doesn't confuse u and u can help me solve this problem, as i am stumped and I've tried everything I could think of (which isn't that much as I'm not too good with actionscript)

Accelerated Clip Movement
This should be a very simple one for you veterans (i'm a novice here)..

I'd like to produce an MC that will start it's movement at a certain speed, then decelerate, but not to the point at which it will reverse it's movement.

6 months ago i would have known this but i'm gettin rusty..

Independent Clip Movement...
Moving a single movie when clicked works well, but placing two of the clips on the frame results in both movies moving even when only one has been clicked.

I expected an instance of this class for each independent instance of the symbol, and each clip being moved by itself when clicked.

MyMovieSymbol.as:

code:
class MyMovieSymbol extends MovieClip
{
function onMouseDown()
{
_x = _x+5;
}
}

I am lacking a fundamental understanding here...; thanks for your help.

Clip Movement Depending On Another.
Last edited by COUE1_06 : 3 Weeks Ago at 04:24.

Hello,

I am working on an interactive guide with some sort of different maps that are supposed to move together depending on where you are if that makes any sense...well no it doesn't. ok the main clip pans side ways on mouse move using a tutorial from this website. And when this clip slides along x up to a certain point,

I need to get two other clips to also slide to a precise point depending on the first one position, one only along x and the other one on both x and y. OF course i also have to set several key position on the mainclip to mave the two clip at a different place each time the main clip reaches a different point.

For now I have been trying things using mc_tween2 like that:

this.addChild (mainClip)

mainClip._x = ...;

mainClip._y = ...;

mainClip.addChild (clip1)

clip1._x = ...;

clip1._y = ...;

mainClip.addChild (clip2)

clip2._x = ...;

clip2._y = ...;

On ClipEvent = function () {

if (mainClip.xScaleTo (..., ...)

clip1.xScaleTo (..., ...)

clip2.scaleTo (...,...,...)

}

I have tried lots of other different little things but I don't really know what I am doing to be honest... Well, I understand codes but I am not really good to write them and I can't find any exemples. I am usign Flash 8.Please can anyone help????

Thank you

Curved Clip Movement (formula)..?
What I want to do is to move a clip from one point (x,y) to another one (scripted). However, the clip should not move on a straight line between these coordinates, but move on a curved path where it is important that the clip reaches the second point exactly after finished moving. How could this be done? The curve should be customizable (speed, radius etc.) Can someone help me? I am honest, I don't like that sort of maths

Clip Rotation For Movement: A Newbie Asks
Hi All,

I pretty new to actionscript and following a few tutorials. I've been playing with one that moves a movieclip towards the point at which you click the mouse and wanted to rotate the clip towards the target point.

I have it almost working but when you click the mouse on or very close to the x or y axis of the clip the rotation angle gets all screwed up. As soon as you click further away from them the rotation returns to normal.

Here's the code in the movement frame of the clip:

//calculate movement rate for each axis
x = Math.abs(xstart-xtarget);
y = Math.abs(ystart-ytarget);
if (x>y) {
xspeed = 5;
yspeed = 5*(y/x);
} else {
yspeed = 5;
xspeed = 5*(x/y);
}
// Calculate the angle from the current clip position to the target position
angle =Math.atan(x/y);
trace (angle);
// Convert from Rads to Degrees
angle = angle*57.2957;
//Check which quadrant the target is in and adjust accordingly
if (_x<xtarget and _y<ytarget) {
angle = angle+90;
}
if (_x>xtarget and _y>ytarget) {
angle = angle+270;
}
if (_x>xtarget and _y<ytarget) {
angle = angle+180;
}
//Rotate the CLip
setProperty (this, _rotation, angle);
trace (angle);
//Move the clip
with (_root.arrow) {
if (_x>(xtarget+2.5) || _x<(xtarget-2.5) || _y>(ytarget+2.5) || _y<(ytarget-2.5)) {
if (_x>xtarget) {
_x = _x-xspeed;
} else {
_x = _x+xspeed;
}
if (_y>ytarget) {
_y = _y-yspeed;
} else {
_y = _y+yspeed;
}
}
}

The basic movement tutorial was from actionscripts.org

Thanks in advance

Can Mouse Movement Be Linked To Playing A Clip?
Been looking around to try and figure out how to do this, I'm not even sure if it's possible

I have a movie with a box and balloon.

http://ca.geocities.com/ltropak@roge...drag-anim.html

The box is just a static object.
The balloon is in it's own clip. In it's clip it has a tween that makes it move down. Ease 100% Out.

The button on the left will play the balloon clip to show you.

Ok, so what I want to do is this:

I want you to be able to click and drag the balloon downwards, with the mouse, until it's in the box. Then if you let go I want it to float back up to its starting point.

I'm assuming it would work by coding something on the buttont hat says: "if mouse is dragged downward 10 pixels, move ahead one frame, 20 pixels - 2 frames, 30 pixels - 3 frames... etc

So grab the balloon with mouse, pull it down... let it go it floats back up...

Is this possible?

Thanks

PS> Here is the .fla file for it. You have to right click-save as then rename it to .fla (i had to rename it .jpg so my server would accept it)

Mouse Rollover On One Movie Clip Increase Decrease Alpha Of Another Movie Clip..
So I really haven't messed with Actionscript much for a couple years and here is my issue.

I have several movieclips I put together that will eventually be a menu for my website. When you roll over a menu option (movieclip) I am trying to get another movie clip to fade in giving the description of the menu item.

For example - when you roll your mouse over the 'Live Chat' option a brief text description would appear telling you what the live chat is about. This description is a seperate movie clip appearing away from the original menu.

I have made the movieclips for the menu and the movie clips for the descriptions. I tried this action on the menu option to get the description to fade in:

Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
this._parent.mc_text_discussionBoard._alpha = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.onRollOver = function() {
if (this._parent.mc_text_discussionBoard._alpha<100) {
this._parent.mc_text_discussionBoard._alpha += 5;
}
};
}
But the alpha only increases on the description (mc_text_discussionBoard) by 5 when I keep rolling my move over and out and over again. It makes sense why it does that, but I'm not exaclty sure how to get it to continually increase the alpha by 5.

any help would be great and I am anxiously waiting to get this solved!
Kevin

Code 4 MovieClip Button To Load A Movie Clip Into A Placeholder Movie Clip.
Yeah that title sounds a little confusing...so i will explain:

Is there a way to tell a "movie clip button" that once it is clicked on to load a "movie clip" into a "movie clip placeholder". So instead of loading an external swf into the placeholder, it will be a movie clip from within the same library. Putting every single custom clip on the timeline would take a while, so that is why I thought it would be easier like this, and the other movie clips are not that large that I want to load into it so there is no need for external swfs, trying to keep it clean. Here is the code along the lines I am trying to go for.

__________________________________________

this.profile_mc.onRelease = function() {
placeholder_mc.loadMovie("profileSection_mc","plac eholder_mc","_root.content");
}
__________________________________________

- "profile_mc is the button I am trying to activate to load the
"profileSection_mc" into the "placeholder_mc". but so far no good.

- the movie clips are within the same library, not on the timeline or external library.

- Is this possible?

How To 'stop' A Movie Clip Within A Movie Clip Within A Movie Clip Loop
I've done searches, laughed, cried, and punched holes through the wall, but I can't figure this out.

I'm in Flash MX (pro) and I have a MovieClip on my main timeline (frame 1). Inside that clip is another animation (the static animation scrolling across the screen), and another inside of it of the static animation (6 characters on a train each animated uniquely).

Confused yet? Ha! OK, so I just want the damned animation on the main timeline to run once and then stop (or to 270 frames). I've tried:

myMovieClip.stop()

to no avail. I've tried attaching the script to the movie clip itself, and also to the frame.

Any suggestions?

Button-controlled Clip Movement That Doesn't Stop On A RollOut
Hello,

I have a movie clip that moves veritcally along the y-axis when a button is rolled over or out.

It works fine, but I'm having problems modifying it. What I want is for the clip to start moving up on the rollover (which it does currently), but cannot move back down until it has reached the top destination. Despite including the "if" statement it, as soon as the button is rolled-out, the clip starts dropping down no matter where it is along the y-axis. Does anyone know how to control that? Thanks in advance for your help.

Here are the scripts I'm using:

for the movieclip (name is boltgunSlider)
**********************************
onClipEvent (load) {
this._y = 490;
_root.boltgunSlider.newdest = 490;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._y += (_root.boltgunSlider.newdest-this._y)/3;
}
**********************************

for the Button
**********************************
on (rollOver) {
boltgunSlider.newdest = 325;
}
on (rollOut) {
if (boltgunSlider.newdest = 325){
boltgunSlider.newdest = 490;
}
}
**********************************

A Button Inside A Movie Clip, Within A Movie Clip, Calling Another Scene:
Is it even possible?

I have been trying to do it for the last few days for a site I am working on.

I have done searches in many forums and it's foolish looking for an answer that way, because quite frankly every thread I opened was something to do with LoadMovie or GetURL, etc.

What I have right now is on the button in my Menu Bar Movie Clip:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(285);
}

Which plays a fancy little animation in the movie clip and then on the last frame of that movie clip I had:

gotoAndPlay("Contact", 1);

Which is the Scene for the "Contact Us" Scene named "Contact"

One would think that it would load up the scene and play at frame 1, however all that happens is it reloads the movie clip of the "Menu Bar" at frame 1 and starts over, not even realizing what I asked.

Anyways, I figured there's a script or something that tells it to look outside of the movie clip or to the _Root, or whatever.

If someone has a solution, it would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry I have no example to show, since I have yet to upload it. (It's my company's web site, and I don't think customers would want to see some half-arsed web site that's not complete.

Thanks in advance.

On Mouseover Show Movie Clip, On Mouseout Close Movie Clip *HELP*
Basically what I am trying to do is this...

I have a movie clip that is a name. When you put your mouseover the name I want another movie clip to display to the right of the name. This clip has a photo and bio of the person.

The photo and bio have an animation that fades it in and an animation to fade it out. I have 5 frames for the fade in, then stop frame, then 5 frames for the fade out.

What actionscript do I need to use to make that second movie clip load when a user mousesover the name (first movie clip) and to make the second half of the second movie clip play when the user removes their mouse from name (first movie clip).

NOTE: I tried using loadMovie and unLoad movie but I couldn't do it loading another swf. The reason being this is already an swf loaded inside a main movie. I guess you can't load an swf inside an swf that's already loaded inside an swf. I hope this all makes sense!

I appreicate all the help!

Thanks a lot!
