Stop mouse cursor moving past a certain Y axis point
Hi, I am creating a e-card game for my company and I have replaced the mouse cursor with a hand grabbing animation. I would like to stop the user being able to move too far up on the screen so the arm is only present at the bottom. What is the best way to do this? Any help would be great?
Thanks
Ben

Hi,
You can use a constrained area drag, like a slide bar sort of thing
AS3, Something like so
PHP Code:
function drag(e:MouseEvent):void { e.target.startDrag(false, new Rectangle(30,30,150,150)); }
function drop(e:MouseEvent):void { stopDrag(); }
AS2, Something like so
PHP Code:
dragger.onPress = function () { startDrag(this,false,30,30,150,150); }
dragger.onRelease = function () { stopDrag(); }
obviously you will need to use your own coordinates.
Numbers = (left,top,right,bottom);

Hi thanks for your response... currently my code is:
Code:
stop();
Mouse.hide();
cursor_mc.startDrag(true);
hiddenmc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, insidecursor);
function insidecursor(e:MouseEvent):void
{
cursor_mc.gotoAndPlay("insidecursorlabel");
}
Currently when you click screen it will play the animation within the movieclip. I tried to alter the code and insert what you specified but the object stops moving when I do... am I incorrectly referencing the movie clip?
Code:
stop();
Mouse.hide();
function drag(e:MouseEvent):void
{
cursor_mc.target.startDrag(false, new Rectangle(0,100,50,0));
}
function drop(e:MouseEvent):void
{
stopDrag();
}
Cheers

Hi,
Without seeing your file its hard for me to say but I assume the mouseEvent is obscuring the other mouseEvent.
it would be "e.target" and not "cursor_mc.target".
if you have no luck try attaching your *.fla

Ok, file attached...

Hi,
At present the drag event is not being listened to by anything, so what is it you wish to drag.
OK you want to drag the arm, i got it.
Is this any better?

Thanks for this and is a lot closer to what I need, but I actually wanted the arm to replace the mouse cursor and move with the mouse rather than a drag and drop. The aim on the 'game' will be to grab toys from a conveyor belt using the claw... Is this even possible?
Cheers

I've actually got it how I want but the last issue I'm facing is being able to click on an object with the claw when the object is placed underneath the claw (how I need it) in the timeline see Xmas2014_copy2.fla
Is there a way around this?
Thanks
