Flash :: Y And X Mouse Positioned Scroller

Scroller That Moves According To Mouse Movement Not Mouse Location.
I am trying to recreate the effect seen here:

Express Top Ten

alright here's the request:

I have found many scroller tutes most of which use buttons to control them. What I need or think I need is a tute or file to refer to, that uses a mouseover effect to move the movieclip with respect to how much the mouse has moved and still uses easing.

I have found files that make the movieclip move according to the mouse position on the stage, but i need it to move in according to how far it just moved.

feel free to email me with any questions.

thanks in advance,
chris

MC Positioned By X/Y - But When Scaled X/Y Changes? Help?
I have an MC that is dynamically positioned by XML coordinates that are stored within an XML file.

When a button is clicked, the MC moves to the specified X/Y coordinates (which works fine). When I scale the to 75%, the X/Y coordinates change within the MC and when the button is clicked the MC moves to the wrong position.

How do I accurately update the X/Y coordinates based on the current scale? Im so confused.

Thanks in advance for your help....

Mouse Scroller
i have made my own version of this scrolling clip from this persons movie but i want to change one thing, the way it scrolls.

at the moment when the mouse goes to the far right it scrolls left and vice versa, what i want is it to scroll left when the mouse goes to the far left, and if possible i would like it to be a never ending movie clip that if you keep going left it will just keep duplicating itself.

thanks in advance for any help.

Mouse Scroller
Is there any way that when you scroll the mouse wheel up or down it performs an action?

Theres no key class and i think it has something to do with the word 'delta'.

I need it to go 'nextframe' when scrolled up and 'prevframe' when mousewheel is scrolled down.

Help please!?

Mouse Scroller
I've looked through all the past messages on the subject and a few people seem to be able to control objects in a flash file using the mouse scroller.

Only problem is that it's quite tricky to understand the code when it's just up on the screen, does anyone have a HTML and FLA files with it working that I could take a peek at, pleaseeeee.

How Can I Stop The Mouse Following A Scroller?
I have made a scrolling menu that follows the _x position of the mouse, the problem is that the scroller stays attached to the mouse cursor no matter where is it on the screen, not only when it is above the menu.

How can I change it so that the scroller only follows the mouse when it is over its hit point?

Heres the code I am using, on frame 1:

code: fscommand("allowscale", "false");
if (_xmouse < 100) {

setProperty("_root.slider", _x, (-1*_xmouse) + 700);
} else if (_xmouse > 100) {

setProperty("_root.slider", _x, (-1*_xmouse) + 700);
} else {
trace("=");
setProperty("_root.slider", _x, _xmouse);
}

Frame 2:

code: if (_xmouse<100) {

setProperty("_root.slider", _x, (-1*_xmouse)+700);
} else if (_xmouse>100) {
trace(">");
setProperty("_root.slider", _x, (-1*_xmouse)+700);
} else {

setProperty("_root.slider", _x, _xmouse);
}
setProperty("_root.drag", _x, _xmouse);
gotoAndPlay(1);

Any help would be appreciated. I have attached the source file I am using

[F8] Mouse (scroller?) Effect Help
So, For a few days now, I've been trying to make a flash homepage to my website look somewhat like the following:
http://fluxx.nu/bio.html
However, I'm Fairly new to Action script and I'm having a terrible time trying to make it work right. (And I'd post some AS code I wrote, but it would be pretty embarrassing.. )

I use Flash 8 and have come close to making it work.. but still no cigar.
Any ideas or suggestions (or Code!) that could possibly help me make this work?

I was also thinking how I would go about with the image. Do I just make a long image, or separate frames? (Depending on the code, I guess..)

Thanks in advance!

FlashTyper Effect Positioned Wrong
Now that I at least got my FlashTyper effect to appear in the browser when uploaded (i guess the server was not working, cause I had everything the same as before)

My problem is that its not appearing correctly. Its supposed to be centered with the "flashing boxes" moving over it. It's centered properly in my fla document and when I export it. However, when I upload both swf's ( my flashtyper swf and my intro file swf) my flash typer effect does not appear properly in the browser.

Go take a look, the movie is only 107 k, won't take long to load !!

Can Flash Player Be Positioned By Actionscript?
I am not talking about a .swf embedded in html. I mean is it possible to position the flash player standalone using actionscript in the .swf. So it is centered for example.
I am not talking about projectors, just the simplicity that when I click an swf file I can determine where on my screen it appears.

Is this posssible (and simple)?

How To Duplicete Mc & Random Positioned Without Overlaping Others
It is quite simpele when i draw it on paper.

I have mc object that is almost elipsed shape. That mc i want to duplicate 30 times or more randomly on stage. And it musnt be in position that is overlaping other that have already been duplicated.

I done this with
xpos=random(560)+10
ypos=random(450)+15

than i checked with FOR loop and with
compearing new xpos & ypos with all already duplicated moviceclips x&y. And with Math.sqrt function i checked radius that must be enough big to the closed mc. If one radius in For loop to all mc is too small than new mc would be overlaping some of the mc already on stagea and in that case i start to looking new xpos & ypos for mc that i want to duplicate.

All fine but this procedure is slow and when it is turn in FOR loop to duplicate mc:number 25 then flash is looking quite some time to randomly find right position on stage.
************************************

DOES anybody KNOW how to deal or write better function for duplicating mc and putting on stage that are not overlaping ?
And that could find those 30 unique positiones at no time.

Big thx for halping me out.

[F8] Movie Clip Blurs When Being Positioned
Hello,

I have a movie clip, instance name is 'loadbar'. This 'loadbar' width's is 1280 px, height's is 2 px.
The movie clip contains a 1 px high yellow rectangle (x: 0, y: 0) and below this a 1 px high blue rectangle (x: 0, y: 1).

The movie's background is black.

When I compile the movie everything works fine.

However when I position this 'loadbar' with AS 2.0, the movie clip just
blurs. I mean the yellow will be not true yellow, it blurs.

Do you know why is this happening?

The AS positioning:

Code:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";
var stageListener:Object = new Object();
stageListener.onResize = function() {
loadbar._x=(Stage.width - 1280) / 2;
loadbar._y=Stage.height / 2;
};
Stage.addListener(stageListener);
stageListener.onResize();

Thanks,

Mac

Items Positioned With AS Disappear On Refresh
Hey all, my menu bar and menus disappear if you refresh the page. Everything is dynamically positioned with AS using the code below. To see what I'm talking about go here then refresh the page in the browser. It also appears to do it when I navigate away and return.

Code:

//mouse listener to close menus
mLoc = new Object();
mLoc.onMouseMove = function () {
//register mouse position as globals for menus
_global.mX =_xmouse;
_global.mY =_ymouse;
};

//add listeners
Mouse.addListener(mLoc);
function init() {
var bgObj = new Object();
bgObj.onResize = function() {
position();
};
//sizing function
position = function(){
//background full size
bg._width = Stage.width;
bg._height = Stage.height;
bg._x = Stage.width*.5;
bg._y = Stage.height*.5;
//menus
home._y = (Stage.height-home._height) - 20;
mediation._y = home._y;
contact._y = home._y +23;
//menu bar super wide and bottom align
bar._width = Stage.width + 1000;
bar._height = Stage.height *.0675;
bar._y = home._y + 80 ;
//main window 90% wide 80% height and centered
main._width = Stage.width * .9;
main._height = Stage.height *.8;
main._x = Stage.width*.5;
main._y = Stage.height*.5;
}
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "tl";
Stage.addListener(bgObj);
position();
}
init();
Any ideas? Oh and I'm running IE6 and the width/height of the movie is set to 100% using CSS.

[CS3 AS2] Loading Dynamically Positioned Movieclips
We have a main.fla - much of the content positioning part does nothing yet :

var myListener:Object = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(myListener);

function tweenImage(target:MovieClip):Void {

//execute when tween complete
myTween.onMotionFinished = function():Void {
};
}
// unless we specifically don't want tweens
var noTweenMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

/* dynamically position content - based on a tutorial from Justin Windle (http://blog.soulwire.co.uk/tag/flash) */
// Setup the Stage properties
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";

// Variables (in pixels)
var navHeight:Number = 435;
var navWidth:Number = 222;
var contactHeight:Number = 0;
var contactWidth:Number = 0;
var descHeight:Number = 117;
var descWidth:Number = 222;

// Variables (in percent)
var headHeight:Number = 11;
var galHeight:Number = 60;
var thumbsHeight:Number = 6;

// Prototype function to position MovieClips
MovieClip.prototype.pos = function (r, s, w, h)
{
this._x = r;
this._y = s;
this._width = w;
this._height = h;
};

// positioning function
function setStage ()
{
var sw:Number = Stage.width;
var sh:Number = Stage.height;

// Calculate dynamic dimensions
var Ny:Number = sh / 100 * headHeight;
var Dy:Number = Ny + navHeight;
var Gw:Number = sw - navWidth - contactWidth;
var Gh:Number = sh / 100 * galHeight;
var Cx:Number = navWidth + Gw;
var Ty:Number = 0.8 * sh;
var Th:Number = sh / 100 * thumbsHeight;
var Hh:Number = sh / 100 * headHeight;

//apply sizes & positions
nav_mc.pos (0, Hh, navWidth, navHeight);
gal_mc.pos (navWidth, Hh, Gw, Gh);
contact_mc.pos (Cx, Hh, contactWidth, contactHeight);
desc_mc.pos (0, Dy, descWidth, descHeight);
thumbs_mc.pos (navWidth, Ty, Gw, Th);
}

// text "frames" do not resize and image "frames" should fill up all remaining browser space
var stageListener:Object = new Object ();
Stage.addListener (stageListener);
stageListener.onResize = setStage;
setStage ();

//load navigation menu and make clips for the other sections to come
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("nav_mc",1);
myMCL.loadClip("nav.swf","nav_mc");
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbs_mc",2);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("gal_mc",3);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("contact_mc",4);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("desc_mc",5);
ok, then we have nav.fla that only contains one (for now) menu button (named button1_btn) on the stage, and the following code on the timeline:

Code:
this.button1_btn.onPress = function() {
_level0.myMCL.loadClip("button1thumbs.swf","thumbs_mc");
_level0.setStage();
};
button1thumbs.fla doesn't have any actions in it (yet) as i cannot get it to load in the space defined by "thumbs_mc".

For the life of me I just can't figure out a syntax to make button1thumbs.swf load into that movie clip, and I've tried all I can think of, but it's probably something dumb on my part. Any suggestions?

[ScrollPane] Maintaining Positioned Content
Okay, I know with this one there's gotta be something stupid I'm missing. Either that or it's not possible.

Have a ScrollPane set to maintain it's size at Stage.width x Stage.height.

Have a MovieClip that is loaded into the ScrollPane via it's Linkage ID. This MC/Class maintains a constant 655px width, and a height of at least 750 and upper range of Stage.height.

No big deal there. I can load it in fine, and use an event listener on Stage to center it horizontally when the stage is resized.

However, any time the you click the scroll buttons to scroll the content, the content mc moves to 0.0, then begins the scroll.

In working with this, I've already tried to use an event listener on ScrollPane.scroll (ScrollPane_instance.addEventListener("scroll", sp_listener) ) with absolutely no effect. Tracing reports that the _x of the movie clip has been set correctly, but the effects are not seen in the movie. I'm guessing the "scroll" function is setting _x more often than my listener can actually respond (i've seen this with other AS).

So, I'm about out of ideas. The only one (that just occured to me) is to override the ScrollPane.onScroll() function to affect only the _y component, though I have no clue what the internals of this method look like.

Begging for help.

Jhereg.

Freezing A Mouse Controlled Scroller?
K, so I've finally got it all working; the scroller loads, reads mouse movement and when the mouse moves away from it stops reading the mouse movement. Near perfect.

if(_root._xmouse<= 500 && _root._ymouse>= 400){
dX = ../track:_x-230;
ypos = ../track:_y;
if (Number(ypos)<60) {
ypos = 60;
}
}
setProperty("", _x, _x-dX/14);

reset = _xscale/100*360;
if (Number(_x)>Number((230+Number(reset)))) {
setProperty("", _x, _x-(_width/2));
} else if (Number(_x)<Number((230-reset))) {
setProperty("", _x, Number(_x)+Number((_width/2)));{
}
} else {

}

When the mouse is not near the scroller, its scrolls at the last speed it was left at. How can I get it to "freeze" or stop until the mouse moves back to the scroller?

How did they do this? On mousedown you can drag in either direction. The faster you drag, the faster it rolls. On mousedown drag and release you can virtually roll/spin the images in both directions.

Any clues on how they did this would be appreciated.

JS To Open Sized & Positioned Newwindow Fails
Anyone familiar with this?
(I searched here for the subject and found some exchanges from 2002 and 2005 that came close but didn't seem to resolve themselves successfully.)

/*
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('TriCarTop.html ','','width=700,height=644,left=0,top=0,toolba r=No,location=No,scrollbars=Yes,status=No, resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); setTimeout('NewWindow.moveTo(75,50)',1500);void(0) ;");
}
*/
It works but the opening is herky-jerky; the page opens in one place and then jumps to its correct position. It looks like a mistake.

So I modified it to remove the setTimeout and just changed the left and top entries from zeros to where I wanted it to open.
Like this:
/*
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('TriCarTop.html ','','width=700,height=644,left=200,top=175,to olbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=Yes,status=No, resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
}
*/
This works--but only sometimes. Results vary from one trial to another, even though I'm emptying browser cache each time.

Any ideas? TIA

Now my boss want to add some interactive control on it. The addon function should able to
1. when user click any of the images, that image will display a larger image size.
2. moving mouse to either right edge or left edge will trigger the image scroller direction and will speed up scroll when closer to either edge.

I'm just a newbie on Flash. anybody give me directions or techniques on how to implement it.

I also want the scrolling to stop when it reaches the end of the timeline + 200px.

AS3 - Mouse Controlled Scroller - How Do I Get It To Stop Scrolling?
hi guys,

i have a script that scrolls a movie clip according to the mouse's x position and whether or not it is moving left or right. i am trying to figure out a way to make the scrolling slow down, or just stop completely when the mouse has stopped moving or is idle. my script so far handles the scrolling part, but not the stopping/slowing of the scroll. can anyone point me in the right direction?

http://www.bobthabuilda.net/misc/tutorials_AS3.swf

and the code:

Code:
var prevX:uint = 0;
var curX:uint = 0;
var scrollRight:Boolean = false;
var scrollLeft:Boolean = false;
var scrollAmt:Number = (links_mc.width / stage.stageWidth) * 10;

function checkDirection(event:MouseEvent):void
{
prevX = curX;
curX = mouseX;

trace(scrollLeft);
trace(scrollRight);

if (curX > prevX)
{
scrollRight = false;
scrollLeft = true;
}
else if (prevX > curX)
{
scrollLeft = false;
scrollRight = true;
}
else
{
null;
}
}

function scrollMenu(event:Event):void
{
if (scrollRight && (links_mc.x < 0))
{
links_mc.x += scrollAmt;
}
else if (scrollLeft && (links_mc.x > -606))
{
links_mc.x -= scrollAmt;
}
else
{
null;
}
}

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, checkDirection);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, scrollMenu);
thanks!

john

Stop Moving When Mouse Is Outside Certain Area (parallax Scroller)
Hi everyone.
I have a problem with a "paralax scroller" movie clip. I downloaded the original from this site and I'm currently modifying it. Currently I'm loading it into the .swf as another .swf like this:
Code:
loadMovie("parallax_01.swf", parallax_mc);
which is fine.

My problem is that it continues to scroll even when the mouse isn't over it. Please check it out here to see what I mean. As you can see, it works perfectly, as long as the mouse remains within the bounds of the loaded .swf, but once outside those bounds - ie outside the box - it continues to scroll (which is bad).

Can anyone help me modify my code so that this can be fixed? I guess its something about checking where the mouse is? getBounds maybe? The code governing the movement is inside the loaded "parallax_01.swf" and reads as follows:
(foreground layer)
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.parallax_mc.mainVar == 0) {
homeX = (-_root.parallax_mc._xmouse*3)+540;
} else {
homeX = (-_root.parallax_mc.mainVar*3)+540;
}
thisX = _x;
diffX = homeX-thisX;
if (_root.parallax_mc.mainVar == 0) {
moveX = diffX/30;
} else {
moveX = diffX/5;
}
_x = thisX+moveX;
}
(middleground layer)
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.parallax_mc.mainVar == 0) {
homeX = (-_root.parallax_mc._xmouse*2)+405;
} else {
homeX = (-_root.parallax_mc.mainVar*2)+405;
}
thisX = _x;
diffX = homeX-thisX;
if (_root.parallax_mc.mainVar == 0) {
moveX = diffX/30;
} else {
moveX = diffX/5;
}
_x = thisX+moveX;
}
(background layer)
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.parallax_mc.mainVar == 0) {
homeX = (-_root.parallax_mc._xmouse)+270;
} else {
homeX = (-_root.parallax_mc.mainVar)+270;
}
thisX = _x;
diffX = homeX-thisX;
if (_root.parallax_mc.mainVar == 0) {
moveX = diffX/30;
} else {
moveX = diffX/5;
}
_x = thisX+moveX;
}
I'm sure its fairly simple but I just can't figure it out. Thank you for looking I really appreciate it.
