"onMouseMove" HELP!

[sfcharm]

Hello,

I have a panning movieclip (Main_mc) that reacts on MouseMove.

Inside Main_mc is a movie clip with a button (btn_A).

I want Main_mc to move when I rollover btn_A (it already works)

but since my mouse is still over Main_mc, when I roll-over btn_A, Main-mc will move to a specific location but right after it will shift because the
on MouseMove panning script on the main timeline interferes.

????

is there a way that I can disable the panning script on the main timeline as I rollover btn_A (which is inside Main_mc) and then enable on rollOut.

please help it's almost there but not quite

Create a new variable -- canPan = true;

In the rollover btn_A code set canPan equal to false.
In the rollout btn_A code set canPan equal to true.

In the MouseMove script add a check to see if canPan is true.

if (canPan == true){
//... panning script is here
}

Hi Im sorry to impose, but im kind of clueless with actionscript so I'm not sure where to create new variable? here's my panning script

this.onMouseMove = function() {
constrainedMove(MC, 4, 1);
};
function constrainedMove(target:MovieClip, speed:Number, dir:Number) {
var mousePercent:Number = _xmouse/Stage.width;
var mSpeed:Number;
if (dir == -1) {
mSpeed = 1-mousePercent;
} else {
mSpeed = mousePercent;
}
target.destX = Math.round(-((target._width-Stage.width)*mSpeed));
target.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (target._x == target.destX) {
delete target.onEnterFrame;
} else {
target._x += Math.ceil((target.destX-target._x)*(speed/100));
}
};
}

this.onMouseMove = function() {
	constrainedMove(MC, 4, 1);
};
var canPan:Boolean = true;
function constrainedMove(target:MovieClip, speed:Number, dir:Number) {
	var mousePercent:Number = _xmouse / Stage.width;
	var mSpeed:Number;
	if (dir == -1) {
		mSpeed = 1 - mousePercent;
	} else {
		mSpeed = mousePercent;
	}
	target.destX = Math.round(-((target._width - Stage.width) * mSpeed));
	target.onEnterFrame = function() {
		if (target._x == target.destX) {
			delete target.onEnterFrame;
		} else {
			if (canPan) {
				target._x += Math.ceil((target.destX - target._x) * (speed / 100));
			} else {
				delete target.onEnterFrame;
			}
		}
	};
}
MC.btn_A.onRollOver = function() {
	canPan = false;
	// not knowing what your code is doing, just moved it to arbitary _x location
	MC._x = 50;
	// need some event to allow panning to resume
	// not know how your code is set up, used an onPress
	this.onPress = function() {
		canPan = true;
	};
};

[sfcharm]

OK im not doing something right....

on (Release) {

canPan = false;


// mc move script

import mx.transitions.Tween;

_root.MC.onEnterFrame = function() {

var tw:Tween = new Tween(_root.MC, "_x", Strong.easeIn, _root.MC._x, -688, .25, true);}



}

is this not correct?

Thanks a lot, i really appreciate your help

[dawsonk]

I only have Flash MX2004, can you post a simplified version of your .fla?

[sfcharm]

hi


* so I was thinking if only I can disable that action layer when on (release)
then I'm in good shape, or maybe not...

that'd be great if you can help me...
thanks a lot

[dawsonk]

I only have Flash MX 2004, so I couldn't open your file.
If you can't post a MX2004 version, then maybe this is something you can adapt...

[sfcharm]

Hi, Thank you so much!
so animation is so far so good I just need to tweak something...

you can go ahead and view the animation here:
http://www.muellerdesign.com/aftp/te...ate-Jv1.0.html

so on the first photo (i've only tested the other code on this photo):

- click on the upper half (hit area) and a movie clip loads...
on your code it's an onPress event that it's gonna go back to the scrolling screen.

I want it to remove the loaded movie clip onRollOut (lower half, non hit area) which it kind of does but then the scrolling gets funky.

Roll from 1st photo hit area to 2nd photo and the scrolling stops. I don't know why it does that?!
Whenever you go from 1st photo hit area to outside of it the scrolling stops and you kinda have to move your mouse around for it to resume.

I kinda tweaked your code that's why it's messing up, will you take another look pls? I'm pretty sure this isnt so complicated anymore.


thank you!!!


// your code

stop();
var _MAIN:MovieClip = this;
var isSelected:MovieClip = null;
var canPan:Boolean = true;
MC._x = locX;
//
function constrainedMove(target:MovieClip, speed:Number, dir:Number) {
var mousePercent:Number = _xmouse/bg._width;
var mSpeed:Number = mousePercent*dir;
target.destX = Math.round(-((target._width-bg._width)*mSpeed));
target.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (target._x == target.destX || target._x>0 || target._x<bg._width-target._width) {
delete target.onEnterFrame;
if (target._x>0) {
target._x = 0;
} else if (target._x<bg._width-target._width) {
target._x = bg._width-target._width;
}
} else if (canPan) {
target._x += Math.ceil((target.destX-target._x)*(speed/100));
} else {
delete target.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}


// load movie clip code
function doPress(btn) {
canPan = !canPan;
if (!canPan) {
isSelected = _MAIN.attachMovie(btn._name, btn._name, 1, {_x:0, _y:0});

} else {
isSelected.removeMovieClip();
MC._x = locX=0-(btn._x);

}
}


MC.btn_A.onPress = function() {
doPress(this);
};

//this part doesnt really work smoothly

MC.btn_A.onRollOut = function() {
canPan = !canPan;
!canPan == true
isSelected.removeMovieClip();

};



MC.btn_B.onPress = function() {
doPress(this);
};
MC.btn_C.onPress = function() {
doPress(this);
};
MC.btn_D.onPress = function() {
doPress(this);
};
_MAIN.onMouseMove = function() {
constrainedMove(MC,4,1);
};




thanks again.

[dawsonk]

Instead of adding code as part of the MC.btn's onRollOver; try something like the following...

function doPress(btn) {
	canPan = !canPan;
	if (!canPan) {
		MC._x = locX = 0 - (btn._x);
		isSelected = _MAIN.attachMovie(btn._name, btn._name, 1, {_x:25, _y:0});
		isSelected.btnMore.onPress = function() {
			_MAIN.gotoAndStop(btn._name);
			isSelected.removeMovieClip();
			_MAIN.btnReturn.onPress = function() {
				_MAIN.gotoAndStop("home");
			};
		};
		isSelected.onEnterFrame = function() {
			if (this.hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, true)) {
				this.isOver = true;
			} else if (this.isOver) {
				this.removeMovieClip();
				canPan = true;
			}
		};	
	} else {
		isSelected.removeMovieClip();
	}
}

Hi!

first of all thanks very much for your help.


the animation has been working well BUT, i need it to do something else,

I want the main movie clip to scroll and then loop when the mouse is off the stage but then on mouse over move with it and all (this part works already)

I got a script of the infinite scroll and it works
The mouseOver script you gave me worked well

now I need them to work together! what to do??

i was hoping it works this way:
http://ts.rtvpix.com/tour/RS/tour.vi...7001-BNVX7A-01

like a virtual tour without the 360 aspect, just an infinite loop.
it scrolls independently, but moves on MouseMove

here's my script:

stop();

//scroll actionscript


var mySpeed:Number;
var myCount:Number = 0;
var Scroll:Boolean = true;
var keepMoving:Boolean;
keepMoving = true;
mySpeed = 1;


_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
//onMouseOut = function () {

// CHECK FOR RESTART
if (myCount>=4115.6) {
//686.9

_root.MC._x = -688;
myCount = 688;

} else {

// CHECK FOR MOVEMENT OF SCROLLING MOVIE
if (keepMoving) {
_root.MC._x -= mySpeed;
myCount += mySpeed;
//}
}
}
};
//stop();



var _MAIN:MovieClip = this;
var isSelected:MovieClip = null;
var canPan:Boolean = true;
MC._x = locX;
//
function constrainedMove(target:MovieClip, speed:Number, dir:Number) {
var mousePercent:Number = _xmouse/bg._width;
var mSpeed:Number = mousePercent*dir;
target.destX = Math.round(-((target._width-bg._width)*mSpeed));
target.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (target._x == target.destX || target._x>0 || target._x<bg._width-target._width) {
delete target.onEnterFrame;
if (target._x>0) {
target._x = 0;
} else if (target._x<bg._width-target._width) {
target._x = bg._width-target._width;
}
} else if (canPan) {
target._x += Math.ceil((target.destX-target._x)*(speed/100));
} else {
delete target.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}



function doPress(btn) {

Hi,

It's not really working for me
sorry not really a coder im a full pledged print designer

anyway so as I have explained already this is what im hoping to accomplish.

-mouse is NOT OVER the stage: it will scroll on it's own and loop.
-mouse is OVER: it will Pan (you gave me this excellent code!)
-if i decide to remove my mouse again after I panned: It will continue scrolling on it's own.

I kinda get the code and what you're making it do, but in the context of the previous code I cant integrate it.

FAVOR PLS:

I attached this file, you gave this to me, it has the panning code that I was able to tailor. can you integrate a code that makes it scroll when mouse is not over and pan when mouse is over.... It'll be easier for me to understand.


thank you very much for your help!!!

[dawsonk]

Added the code from above, so if the mouse is outside the stage (not over the 'bg' movie clip which covers the stage), the 'mc' scrolls. Didn't change the panning function.

[sfcharm]

Hi,

it doesnt work. am I missing anything?

[dawsonk]

Sorry, I only tested it the IDE, you are right it does NOT work in a web page, as flash doesn't have a built-in way to track the mouse outside of the swf. Here's a link explaining a work around for when the mouse is outside of the swf. http://www.actionscript.org/forums/s....php3?t=136109
