[somdow]

sry it may sound confusing but i dont exactly know what to call this....but i want a certain item (or 2) to move when the mouse moves the opp direction


example

hit "join later" then once it goes in....this is more or less what i want to create...the movement of the stage items when the mouse moves

any ideas

PS, sorry if this is in the wrong place

You will probably have a mask that will track the movement of the mouse (MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE). Then this mask will move the objects around depending on the location of the mouse



mask.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, MouseMoved,false,0, true);
function MouseMoved(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace(e.localx);
trace(e.localy);
}

the first step is adding an Event Listener to watch for any mouse movement. You pass it a function as a parameter, and when the event triggers it will call the function passing it details of where the mouse is, what it did, whether it was clicked or what not.

- looks for senocular -

Unfortunately, AS3 is rather new. So finding a tutorial would be a little hard.
Senocular writes the tutorials, so he will be able to help you

You may find tutorials for AS2, but not AS3.

Though the concepts would be the same, there would be a lot of differences in syntax and commands used. Also, for global mouse movement detection in AS3, you need to listen to stage (since non-stage mouse movement occurs only when the mouse is over that object).

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoved);
Then, in the mouseMoved function you would move all your movie clips based on the position of the mouse. The general forumal behind that is

x = stage.stageWidth - mouseX;
where x would be the x location of the object, stage.stageWidth is the width of your vieable area (using stage.stageWidth does this for the whole SWF, you might want to use a different area), and mouseX is the mouse location within the coordinate space where the target object exists. Quick example:

var mover:Sprite = new Sprite();
mover.y = 100;
mover.graphics.beginFill(0);
mover.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 30);
addChild(mover);

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoved);
function mouseMoved(event:MouseEvent):void {
mover.x = stage.stageWidth - mouseX;
}

shoot if i can get it in AS1 even better lol

hit me up lol
