how can i change the cursor when my cursor is only within this pop out panel and not in the main stage ?
private function launchPopUp(e:MouseEvent):void
{
panel = new Panel();
panel.width = stage.stageWidth;
panel.height = stage.stageHeight;
panel.setStyle("borderAlpha", 1);
PopUpManager.addPopUp(panel, this, true);
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(panel);
}
Would appreciate if anyone could help.
You can use the following code to change the mousecursor. The trick is to hide the mousecursor and replace it with a sprite.
function launchPopUp(e:MouseEvent):void
{
panel = new Panel();
panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveFunc);
panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mouseOutFunc);
panel.width = stage.stageWidth;
panel.height = stage.stageHeight;
panel.setStyle("borderAlpha", 1);
PopUpManager.addPopUp(panel, this, true);
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(panel);
}
function mouseMoveFunc(e:MouseEvent):void
{
Mouse.hide();
customMouseSprite.visible = true;
customMouseSprite.x = e.stageX;
customMouseSprite.y = e.stageY;
}
function mouseOutFunc(e:MouseEvent):void
{
Mouse.show();
customMouseSprite.visible = false;;
}
You also need to call the mouseOutFunc when the popup is closed. the customMouseSprite has to be on the top layer of your stage. customMouseSprite can either be a sprite or movieclip (in fact any displayobject).

I have multiple bitmap images added into sprites(each image added into 1 sprite) in a loop, then all the sprites added to 1 _contentHolder(Sprite) then that is added to a viewport.
What the problem is, the multiple sprites that are added inside the loop, everything displays with no problem but only the last sprite added is clickable. None of the sprite added before it is clickable. Wondering what the problem is, they are not overlapping and when i hover the mouse over the top of all the sprites, it turns into the mouse clicker but it just won't click.
Thanks for your time!
My code:
function onImageLoaded(e:Event):void {
loadedArray.push(e.target.content as Bitmap);
for(var i:int = 0; i < loadedArray.length; i++){
var currentY1:int = 200;
var image: Sprite= new Sprite;
e.currentTarget.loader.content.height =200;
e.currentTarget.loader.content.y += currentY1;
image.mouseChildren = true; // ignore children mouseEvents
image.mouseEnabled = true; // enable mouse on the object - normally set to true by default
image.useHandCursor = true; // add hand cursor on mouse over
image.buttonMode = true;
image.addChild(loadedArray[i]);
_contentHolder.addChild(image);
}
newArray.push(image);
var viewport:Viewport = new Viewport();
viewport.y = 0;
viewport.addChild(_contentHolder);
var scroller:TouchScroller = new TouchScroller();
scroller.width = 300;
scroller.height = 265;
scroller.x = 10;
scroller.y = 100;
scroller.viewport = viewport;
addChild(scroller);
image.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoscene);
}
loadImage();
Edit:
function gotoscene(e: MouseEvent):void{
var index:Number;
index = newArray.indexOf(e.target);
trace(index);
blackBox.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
blackBox.graphics.drawRect( -1, -1, stage.width, stage.height);
blackBox.alpha = 0.7;
addChild(blackBox);
var originalBitmap : BitmapData = loadedArray[index].bitmapData;
var duplicate:Bitmap = new Bitmap(originalBitmap);
duplicate.width = stage.width;
_contentHolder1.addChild(duplicate);
// Use counter here to only add _contentHolder1 once
//Assuming that `samedata` is a class member (I can't see the rest of your code)
addChild(_contentHolder1);
}
Edit2:
private var image:Array = new Array;
//In the For loop
image[i] = new Sprite();
image[i].addChild(loadedArray[i]);
image[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoscene);
function gotoscene(e:MouseEvent):void{
index = image.indexOf(e.target);
trace(index);
}
You should move image.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoscene); statement into the loop where you add child sprites. Once you do, the listener will be added to all of the sprites, not just the last one that's currently stored in image variable, and is the only one that responds to your clicks.
for(var i:int = 0; i < loadedArray.length; i++){
var currentY1:int = 200;
var image: Sprite= new Sprite;
e.currentTarget.loader.content.height =200;
e.currentTarget.loader.content.y += currentY1;
image.mouseChildren = true; // ignore children mouseEvents
image.mouseEnabled = true; // enable mouse on the object - normally set to true by default
image.useHandCursor = true; // add hand cursor on mouse over
image.buttonMode = true;
image.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoscene); // <-- THIS
image.addChild(loadedArray[i]);
_contentHolder.addChild(image);
}
And for all that is holy, learn to indent your code, so that you will be able to visually find the start and end of your loops and see if a certain statement is within the loop or not.
I did work for a few years in AS3 and this was a weird an usual problem. I used to solve it with a function that adds the event to each clip:
function someFunction():void {
for (...) {
var image:Sprite = new Sprite();
addSceneListener(image);
}
}
function addSceneListener(mc:Sprite):void {
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gogoscene);
}
First I really want to thank you for all the help you have given me so far, since I did not know anything about AS3 (basics gotoAnd stuff only) I came to Stackoverflow searching for some code already made but I was encouraged by some members to make the code by myself, now after almost 2 weeks and thanks to a lot of great people my soccer penalty kick game is almost finished, I really love this place.
I know I have to work on some collisions and other stuff since currently the game is not the best (remember I’m just a newbie), but Unfortunately while checking the game functioning by playing it over and over again, I have found the following:
1- When you get 3 fails, then game is over and a play again button appears after some animation, you click on it and everything seems to be fine, but when you continue playing the second time you reach 3 fails, when you click the button a new cursor appears??? Please help
2- I tried millions of times to make the ball move with speed and to animate its trajectory but was unable to make it, any help on this will be highly appreciated. I have speed variables and gravity but I didn’t know how to use them
3- I'm getting a actionscript error related to a removeChild, I tried many times removing some lines but I´m unable to fix it.
4- I'm using too many timers, I don't know if this is recommendable.
Here is the .fla file https://rapidshare.com/files/1702748636/kicks.fla just in case anybody want to try the game (this is really simple since it is my 1st AS project) and want to help me with the code and help me improving the game, and here is the code if somebody does not need to get into the file (I know this place is full of really smart people), once I finish it I know I will be able to do a lot of stuff with AS3.

I’ll really appreciate it guys , I promise I won’t be bothering again for a long time
1/3.
Problem 1 & 3 are the same problem. Looks like your trying to remove the cursor from the stage (removeChild) every click (so it will error after the first click because it's no longer a child of anything). Your adding it back on your delayedAction2 which doesn't run unless your hit test is true and only after 3 seconds. On initialize game you create a whole new cursor and add that to the stage which is why you get a duplicate after the first game.
Rather than removeChild the cursor, it might better to just set it's visibility to false/true and only create it once.
You'll need to use an EnterFrame handler, or timer, or tween for this. I can post an example later.
I can't figure out why you're using timers at all or need to delay your functions, except maybe to allow time for the kick animation?
You're code is very disorganized, naming functions things like 'delayedAction' is bad as it doesn't really tell you anything about the purposed of the function. You also have way too much functions inside of other functions. Here is a quick refactoring of your code I've done to hopefully teach a few things. I've also added the tween for the ball animation.

Even i'm not sure about that, this might explain your problem. You can give more information for better solution.
"when you add sprite, it calls mouseOutHandler, cause you add your sprite under your cursor. And you remove the sprite with //removeChild(sprite); and mouseOverHandler calls again. And it goes like that."
Is there a way to have a MovieClip with startDrag, but to force only horizontal and vertical (i.e. not diagonal) movement?
Here is my solution. It tracks the mouseX and mouseY on click and compares it to last position. Finds out which direction the mouse is mainly moving then moves the object there. You may want to add some extra logic to lock the object to the nearest 10th unit or whatever unit size you want to form a snap grid for use in games or organized placement of the object.
Update: I went ahead and added a snapNearest function to help control the movement.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
dragObj.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragIt);
var curX:Number = 0;
var curY:Number = 0;
var oldX:Number = 0;
var oldY:Number = 0;
var gridUnit:Number = 25;
function dragIt(e:MouseEvent):void
{
// set x,y on down
oldX = mouseX;
oldY = mouseY;
// add mouse up listener so you know when it is released
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveIt);
trace("Start Drag")
}
function moveIt(e:Event):void
{
// figure out what the main drag direction is and move the object.
curX = mouseX;
curY = mouseY;
// figure out which is the larger number and subtract the smaller to get diff
var xDiff:Number = curX > oldX ? curX - oldX : oldX - curX;
var yDiff:Number = curY > oldY ? curY - oldY : oldY - curY;
if(xDiff > yDiff) {
dragObj.x = snapNearest(mouseX, gridUnit);
}else{
dragObj.y = snapNearest(mouseY, gridUnit);
}
oldX = mouseX;
oldY = mouseY;
}
function dropIt(e:MouseEvent):void
{
//remove mouse up event
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveIt);
trace("Stop Drag")
}
// snap to grid
function snapNearest(n:Number, units:Number):Number
{
var num:Number = n/units ;
num = Math.round(num);
num *= units;
return num;
}
yes. there are a few options.
A. you can choose to use the startDrag() function and supply it's 2nd parameter with a bounds rectangle for your draggable object. something like;
dragSprite.startDrag(false, new Rectangle(0, 0, 20, stage.stageHeight));
B. you can set your draggable object to listen for mouse events, moving it according to the mouse movements. something like:
dragSprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownEventHandler);
function mouseDownEventHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveEventHandler);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpEventHandler);
}
function mouseMoveEventHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
//only move dragSprite horizontally
//dragSprite.y = evt.stageY;
dragSprite.x = evt.stageX;
}
function mouseUpEventHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveEventHandler);
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpEventHandler);
}
You could use a modifier key, for instance normal behavior would be horizontal & press down the shift key to move vertically.
function mouseMoveEventHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
if(!evt.shiftKey)
dragSprite.x = evt.stageX;
else
dragSprite.y = evt.stageY;
}
You can only constrain to one axis or the other (using a constraint rectangle) But diagonal movement would be possible in the method you propose, unless you also define some other limits... for example a grid.
The preloader does not show up after 3% like it should have, it shows up when the file has loaded entirely.
Can someone help explain to me what I am doing wrong? My code is in the first frame, and it makes use of a rectangle object, and a textfield object. In other preloaders I have seen with code like this, it uses a movieclip with 100 frames. Does that make the difference? I have code updating the width of the rectangle, and something to update the text in the dynamic textbox as well.
My entire code in the first frame:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
function update(e:ProgressEvent):void {
//trace(e.bytesLoaded);
if (loader) {
loader.text = Math.round(e.bytesLoaded*100/e.bytesTotal).toString() + " %";
}
if (bar) {
bar.width = Math.round(e.bytesLoaded*100/e.bytesTotal)*2;
}
}
loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, update);
var loader:TextField = new TextField();
var bar:preloader_bar = new preloader_bar();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkFrame);
var loaderTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat("_sans", 16, 0x000000, true);
loaderTextFormat.align = TextFormatAlign.CENTER;
loader.defaultTextFormat = loaderTextFormat;
bar.color = 0x000000;
addChild(bar);
addChild(loader);
// Extra test for IE
var percent:Number = Math.floor( (this.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded*100)/this.loaderInfo.bytesTotal );
if (percent == 100) {
nextFrame();
}
stop();
if (loader) {
loader.x = (stage.stageWidth - loader.width) / 2;
loader.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
}
if (bar) {
bar.x = (stage.stageWidth - 200) / 2;
bar.y = (stage.stageHeight - bar.height) / 2;
}
function checkFrame(e:Event):void {
if (currentFrame == totalFrames) {
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkFrame);
startup();
}
}
function startup():void {
// hide loader
stop();
loaderInfo.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, update);
var mainClass:Class = Main as Class;
addChild(new mainClass() as DisplayObject);
}
It really should be showing up, is there some fancy export option I need to change? I tried this with the bandwidth profiler, it only shows anything after the 100% mark.
EDIT: progress_bar is a movieclip which was exported for actionscript.
You problem seem very similar to this.
Short version: Do you have a single frame ?
If so, move as much as you can on the 2nd frame and also
set that as the Export Frame for actionscript.
Once your first frame has a small size, you will see the preloader easily.
HTH,
George
