Need help

Dec 25, 2011 8:19 AM

Hello

 

I noticed that Ned Murphy is not around. I hope he is OK.

 

Now, my new project:

 

I want to have a textfield in which I want to put numbers that I can decrease or increase by moving my mousein the left or in the right. Like in the properties panel of flash when you want to change the positions or sizes. Any help will be appreciated.

    (it's christmas.  he's probably spending time with his family.)

     

    var tf:TextField=new TextField();

    addChild(tf);

     

    this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,f):

     

    function f(e:MouseEvent):void{

    tf.text=String(mouseX);

    }

    on the third line:

    this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,f);

     

    the ending is a semicolon not a colon lol

    What if I want my numbers to be between 0 and 12 ? Then the mouse becomes irrelevant ?

    you want your numbers to be integers between 0 and 12 when the mouse is between 0 and stage.stageWidth?  if yes:

     

    var tf:TextField=new TextField();

    addChild(tf);

     

    this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,f);

     

    function f(e:MouseEvent):void{

    tf.text=String(Math.round(12*mouseX/stage.stageWidth));

    }

    Thank you. Now I understand the principle. And a happy new year too. You should have seen how happy my dog is. Santa brought him 3 toys and a bag full of liver bits.
