[Flashcoders] detecting when mouse goes outside of the flash
Hi coders. This has been up before, and I have done some own tests and searched the archives as well. But I can't find the solution, if there is any. I want a certain thing to happen in my flash when the mouse moves outside flash. Since the _xmouse/_ymouse stops updating when dragged outside you cant rely on them (they do work WHEN mouse is pressed and dragged out from the swf, but that is of course not a solution) I have also tried to add a big 'button' which has onRollOut/onDragOut attached to it, but the problem is that button-events above it will disable the underlying one. So what I know of there is no solution to this problem, but probably some decent hacks? I am not interested in a solution which requires code in the html-page or so, but if you have such one I would like to know about it as well. But mainly I wish to know a solution in which flash internally can say if the mouse-cursor is outside the flash in the html-page.

The difficult part of the question is that the circle is really a 3D object ie it can be rotate about the x or y axis. Do you mean rotate into the z axis? X and Y are still just 2-D spaces. 'rotating around the x-axis' is a perfectly reasonable statement for a 3D object: rotate something in the x-y plane by 90 degrees about the x-axis and it will end up in the x-z plane. Rotating around the z-axis would keep it in the same plane. You can't rotate a 2-d object about an axis at all, only a point.

[Flashcoders] setVariable through javaScript and cross domain block
Hi I am using javaScript and setVariable to try and communicate between a html page with javascript on one domain (actually running a SCORM based LMS) and the Flash swfs and content on another. The Flash swfs load fine, they can call javascript functions, but the setVariable simply does not work to send data back. The whole system works if I am within one domain. But surely the html and javascript is actually running in my browser, so shouldn't the original domain that the html comes from be irrelevant? In detail: I am running http://www.host-for-noodles.com/moodle - which ends up loading an html page that loads a Flash object at http://www.clarityenglish.com. The Flash swf loads up and loads a variety of other swfs and xmls from this same domain. All this is good. The Flash swf then does a getURL to run a javascript from the original html page. This works OK. But when the javascript comes to run movie.setVariable simply nothing comes back to Flash. In Firefox I see a javascript NPObject error - in IE, simply nothing happens. (I googled for the Firefox error and see some evidence that this is a Firefox bug - so left if alone to see how IE did). I know that I ought to rewrite using at least the Flash/Javascript Integration kit, or better with ExternalInterface - but until that happens, does anyone have a definitive answer that what I am trying to do can't work - or clues as to how it should work?

[Flashcoders] RE: detecting when mouse goes outside of the flash
hi Martin,
If the panorama tool is a 'drag to pan' system and you need to detect the
mouse release outside of the Flash area, try this:
Place an invisible button over the entire dragged button, which might be
the whole stage. Set this invisible button to goto a blank frame and stop
on rollover, leaving the original panorama drag button to pick up it's
rollover or onDown(and drag) signal from the cursor.
For some reason this allows Flash to detect when the mouse is released
outside of the player (out in the html page) and triggering the on release
function of the dragged button - sending the dragged button back to it's
starting (stopped) position, where it should also have a command to make
sure the panning is halted.
Have no idea why it works, but figured it out when trying to stop
scrolling when cursor is released outside the player at:
http://www.2GoTo.com... works great.
If you can't get this to work, i can build an exact working example for
you.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] detecting when mouse goes outside of the

If you ever do a cursor replace in a flash movie you will see that when
the cursor leaves the stage the cursor you create stays at the
edge.. so Im pretty sure that you if you listen to the mouse
position and it goest to within on pixel from the stage width its a safe
bet it has gone out.
a mouse listener:
var xpos:Number;
var ypos:Number;
// Create a mouse listener object
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
// Every time the mouse cursor moves within the SWF file
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {
xpos = _xmouse;
ypos = _ymouse;
CheckPosition(xpos, ypos);
};
function CheckPosition(_xpos:Number, _ypos:Number){
var _StageWidth:Number = Stage.width;
var _StageHeight:Number = Stage.height;
//have a buffer zone around the edge to give time to catch event
var Buffer:Number = 10; //10 pixels
if(xpos=(_StageWidth-Buffer) || ypos=(_StageHeight-Buffer) ||
xpos=Buffer || ypos=Buffer){
result_txt.text = out;
}
else{
result_txt.text = in;
}
}
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
stop();
you could use an on enterframe and a decent frame rate and it may get a
better acuracy.
The biggest problem is this isnt 100% but at least it gives you a
starting point.

Hi,
i had the same problem and approached it a little differently, which might
be or not be of use to you.
I simply check whether the mouse has moved or not.
Your situation might be very different, but in mine I had to update the
rotation in a panorama based on the mouse position within that panorama.
If you'd mouse the out real quick, the panorama went spinning ;) and never
stopped.
So now return an dx/dy based on mouse position and altered by the amount of
time the mouse hasnt moved. In effect if you move your mouse to the left in
the panorama for example it will move quickly at first and slowly grind to
a halt. Same thing happens when you move the mouse outside.
Other that than no clue...

Re: [Flashcoders] detecting when mouse goes outside of the flash
I never found a good solution, either, without using code in the HTML page. I even tried setting a clip to look for the mouse and execute a function if the mouse wasn't found, but that failed (for reasons you explain). If you can keep your buttons away from the edges of the movie, you can use an underlying button or an onMouseMove action to detect when the mouse is in that marginal area. You need a fast enough frame rate so the mouse position is captured during the time it passes over the marginal area. Someone with very fast mouse movement will probably be able to defeat this.

Re: [Flashcoders] Creating a button class entirely in 2.0 with no symbol association, possible?
I'm doing this all the time I've made tonns of different inputs fro

Thats done like this:
class myButton {

In this case all drawing is done by variable mc.

Hi Boon,

here's how to create a MovieClip-derived class that doesn't need an

class net.something.MyButton extends MovieClip
{
static var symbolName:String = __Packages.net.something.MyButton ;
static var symbolOwner:Function = MyButton;
public function MyButton()

static var symbolLinked=Object.registerClass(symbolName, symbolOwner);

To create it, use attachMovie:

That is, you write EVERYTHING in JavaScript, both Flash and non-Flash code, which makes it super-easy to interoperate with the HTML page, other JavaScript functions, etc. I've put a bunch of demos online, including sockets, video, audio, drawing, and other goodies.

Yes, if you've followed the discussion you'd know that onBlur is has been
the attempted solution. It just doesn't work when Flash has focus ... the
browser seems to miss the onblur if you click on Flash (giving it focus) and
then click outside the window (when the onblur should trigger)
has no one had experience overcoming this?

Re: [Flashcoders] Creating a button class entirely in 2.0 with no symbol association, possible?
Thanks Janis. The problem with doing it below is that you cannot change _x,
_y directly on the mc like you can with a regular movieclip.
var b = new myButton();
b._x = 200; -- won't work

tonns of different inputs fro
diferent projects and finally I am planing to code some fullscale AS2
only UI collection.
Thats done like this:
class myButton {
private var mc:MovieClip;
function myButton(host:MovieClip, level:Number){
mc= host.createEmptyMovieClip(myButton+level, level);
}
}
In this case all drawing is done by variable mc.

Oops, last line should be:
var button:MyButton=MyButton(myTimeline.attachMovie(MyButton.symbolName,
somRandomButton,
myTimeline.getNextHighestDepth()));
Assuming myTimeline is whatever you're trying to attach the button to...

Hi Boon,
Can't remember where I got this solution - definitely not mine - but
here's how to create a MovieClip-derived class that doesn't need an
associated library symbol:
--
class net.something.MyButton extends MovieClip
{
static var symbolName:String = __Packages.net.something.MyButton ;
static var symbolOwner:Function = MyButton;
public function MyButton()
{
}
static var symbolLinked=Object.registerClass(symbolName, symbolOwner);
}

To create it, use attachMovie:
import net.something.MyButton;
var button:MyButton=MyButton(myTimeline.attachMovie(MyButton.symbolName,
somRandomButton,getNextHighestDepth()));
HTH,
Ian

Re: [Flashcoders] HTML tag r not working
I guess that an HTML enabled text field means that there would probably be multi-fonts used. so flash doesn't know which font to embed. can anyone make a solution? 2005/11/24, Pandian [EMAIL PROTECTED]: HTML tags are not supported when the font of Text field is embedded.

[Flashcoders] FlashCommand fails to fail
I'm using Mike Chambers FlashCommand to compile multiple files in one
go with ant from within Eclipse.
However, if one of my .fla files generates an error, compiling
continues on to the next file. I'm using the failonerror attribute in
the execute tag exec executable=${flash.command}
failonerror=true, but the FlashCommand fails to fail. Also, the
error output is not appearing in the console view.
Does any one have any ideas?
