RE: FLASH: mouse movement

[Tim Allan]

Lisa,


Yes, it can in flash 4. But is based around the actionscript that you write

to detect the mouse movement.


The approach I would do is something like this:

you have a looping movieclip over a number of frames

At the start you get the x coordinate for the mouse position and place that

value into a variable.

At the end you get the next cocrdiante for the mouse position and place that

into a variable.

Compare the values of the two variables: depending on if the value is

negative or positive, the mouse will have to have been moved left or right.


Use an If..then statement to determine the action

eg if variable is greater then 0 ( x>0), go to frame myFrame


eg. Start of the loop:mouse is at positon 10 on the x axis,

	End of the loop:mouse is at position 20 on the x axis

	Result is positive, mouse must have moved to the right.


If the result is zero, then the mouse has not moved at all


Hope that Helps
