RE: FLASH: maths and object movement. Equations needed.

[Julie Fell (Entex)]

Hey thanks Branden! I got it to work! You are awesome!!!


Now I've got another question....is it possible to add onmouse events to the

moving widget? What I want to do is let the user move the nav widget over

the menu item they want, then when they click it will call and display the

appropriate information depending on which menu item the where over when

they clicked. This is hard to explain in words, but you can see what I've

got so far at http://www.thelinkzone.com/flash/widget.htm . Just click where

it says "Edit This Page" this will produce the menu selector widget which

can be slid up and down the left nav pane. Ideally I'd like the user to be

able to click where the menu name is and turn it into a text field so they

can rename the menu item, but that is probably impossible so I would be

ecstatic just to have it call another page/frame/scene etc. when clicked.

The .fla, .swf and .htm files are located here if anyone wants to poke

around. http://www.thelinkzone.com/flash/ 


p.s. I'm used to using DHTML and CSS to make fancy widgets and am new to

Flash and action scripting so no need to tell me how horribly hacky my code

and .fla files are. I'm already painfully aware of that. =) TIA!!!

Ah.. common misconception... code that is attached to buttons isn�t actually


inside of the button (NEVER put code there!)


If you go inside of puckMC and then right click on the puck and select 

properties then select the actions tab you will see the actions associated 

with that INSTANCE of puckButton.
