All,
I have a flash movie with two objects in it, placed into a
director movie.
When a user clicks on one of the objects in the flash movie,
then somewhere
else in the movie, flash uses director to find the fastest path
between the
two points and move it, using a repeat loop affecting the x/y
coordinates.
Now, in order for the movement to appear smooth (instead of
jumping from
point to point) I use the updatestage() call illustrated below
to
refresh the stage:
(note: holdx and holdy are defined in
the beginning of the handler
as the originx and originy of
the object)
currentobjectx =
sprite(flashspritechannel).getVariable("object1._x")
currentobjecty =
sprite(flashspritechannel).getVariable("object1._y")
if (currentobjectx > (holdx + 5)) OR
(currentobjecty > (holdy +5)) then
holdx = currentobjectx
holdy = currentobjecty
updatestage()
end if
My problem arises in the fact that while director is moving this
object across the screen,
All other mouse input events seem to not work. For instance, if
object1 is moving, and
I want to click on object2 to have IT move, I must wait for
object1 to run its course
before I am able to click on object2. I thought this might have
something to do with
updatestage() ignoring input events (since it is being called
fairly frequently).
I'm fairly sure this is a director issue, since I have alert()
calls onMouseUp which
don't work until the movement is finished either. Any ideas?
