Re: [Flashcoders] is there a way of detecting whether or not the mouse is in a movie at all?
Don't know if it's applicable in your case of expandable banner, but you can consider: 1) creating special mouse detector SWF in AS3 2) using it with your AS2 project via LocalConnection This can be a way to handle users' MOUSE_LEAVE event if they have Flash Player 9+ colin moock wrote: looks like you're using ActionScript 2.0, but just for the record, in ActionScript 3.0 you can use the Event.MOUSE_LEAVE event to detect when the mouse leaves Flash Player's display area. colin -- -- Best regards, GregoryN http://GOusable.com Flash components development.

looks like you're using ActionScript 2.0, but just for the record, in
ActionScript 3.0 you can use the Event.MOUSE_LEAVE event to detect when
the mouse leaves Flash Player's display area.

Hi,
that is only detectable when the mouse is down (try tracing xmouse and
ymouse while mouse is down, versus when its not).
Another thing you can do is look at how long the mouse hasnt moved.

hi guys
just a quickie
i've got an expandable flash banner that has a transparent movie clip
(called roll_mc) over the top of it to detect whether to expand or
not but because i can't seem to get an accurate false from my hittest
if the mouse goes out of the banner, i was wondering if there was a
way to detect if the mouse was in the movie at all
here is what i have
function gotoExpand():Void {
trace (x mouse is +_root._xmouse);
trace (y mouse is +_root._ymouse);
if (roll_mc.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse)
_root._xmouse345 _root._ymouse345) nextFrame();
}
the movie is 350x350 but if you move the mouse out of the movie
pretty quickly, it registers that the mouse is still within the movie
example traces:
//mouse is moved fairly slowly
x mouse is 349
y mouse is 208
x mouse is 349
y mouse is 208
x mouse is 185
y mouse is 349
x mouse is 348
y mouse is 95
//mouse moved fairly quickly
x mouse is 336
y mouse is 225
anyone have any ideas?
