Updated Cursor Code

I found a better custom-cursor code that's smoother and worked much more compatibly with my movies; just put this in a separate folder in a movie clip that will be your new cursor:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE , movecrs);
function movecrs(event:MouseEvent) {
cursor.x = mouseX;
cursor.y = mouseY;
cursor.visible = true;
Mouse.hide();
}

Drag and Drop Tutorial

I am revising my plan for this Flash assignment. My first attempt has been halted due to discrepancies in the tutorials code and lack of supplement code. SO, I have decided to create a drag-and-drop game. I found a good tutorial with a sample fla file
here.

Cheers!

Creating draggable objects

insertnamehere.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
DragStart)
insertnamehere.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
DragStop)
function DragStart(event:Event){
event.target.startDrag(false)
}

function DragStop(event:Event){
event.target.stopDrag()
}


*****note the DragStart) and DragStop) needs to go on the lines prior too, this blog was cutting off the code so i had to put it on another line. not sure if that really makes a difference or not but just in case

Make it easy.

Just a reminder to keep things simple with flash, so people don't get annoyed like this person.

There are a few tutorials that may be useful for the e-cards at Flash&Math.com
