Custom Cursor lags?

[scott1969]

Any way to make this cursor act more like a real cursor?

ActionScript Code:

setMenu();
Mouse.hide();
pointer.mouseEnabled=false;
pointer.visible=false;
addChild(pointer);
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE,resizeBack);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,moveP ointer);
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE,hidePoint er);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,showP ointer);

function movePointer (event) {
pointer.x=mouseX;
pointer.y=mouseY;
}
function hidePointer (event) {
pointer.visible=false;
}
function showPointer (event) {
Mouse.hide();
pointer.visible=true;
pointer.x=mouseX;
pointer.y=mouseY;
}
function setMenu () {
var myContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
myContextMenu.hideBuiltInItems () ;
myContextMenu.builtInItems.quality=true;
this.contextMenu=myContextMenu;
}





This is a timeline code... pointer is your pointer
this also removes the the annoying case of double pointer after RClick, and removes some context menu items you should not have in that movie...

Thanks. I seem to be getting this error on resize? access of undefined property
resize back?

Remove

stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE,resizeBack);

from the code.

sorry I got that from already ready project, so there was something left...


ActionScript Code:

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,moveP ointer);
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE,hidePoint er);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,showP ointer);

myContextMenu.builtInItems.quality=true;
this.contextMenu=myContextMenu;
}




I guess I also forgot to mention that you should put some movie clip as a background, can be some transparent shape, otherwise it won't work as supposed...

[scott1969]

Thanks again. Still seems to lag though..?

[magcius]

Frame rate maybe?

EDIT: Also, there's a lot happening on stage. Try to reduce the number of tweens.

[scott1969]

I see. Thanks again!

[dzhedzho]

I see. Thanks again!

ActionScript Code:

Mouse.show();
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,mo vePointer);
stage.removeEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE,hidePo inter);
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,sh owPointer);




You should enable the mouse cursor in the end screen... :D

Also, you can click on the same food multiple times to win the game.

And the lose screen is the same as the win screen.

optimize the images use as less as onEnterFrame events as possible, and try not to have a lot of mcs appear at once, even so.. on my pc it works nice.

I need to add a removechild to my .as. There is not supposed to be two separate pages. the kids go to that one page no matter what, you are a winner every time. Kinda silly but thats what the boss wants. Thanks for your input.

[scott1969]

Right On. Thanks.
