As: X-ray

[BananaSkull]

AS: Main
Here I will explain how you do a game like Cooties X-ray Glasses or something.

This is pretty simple. I made this because a guy needed help with this and maybe more of you wants this.
What we'll use is masking and well, actionscript.

1. Make a layer with the image that should be under the other on it.
2. Make a new layer with a scanning device or what's it called and place this layer above the other one.
3. Mark the scanning device and press F8 and choose movieclip.
4. Press F9 and paste this actionscript there:
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
startDrag(this, true);
Mouse.hide();
}
5. Make a new layer and place it under the other ones. In this layer you'll make the image that is above the others.
6. Right-click on the layer with the scanning device and choose Mask

Now test the movie. It's simple as that. All you need now is good drawings :)

Firstly there's no reason whatsoever to use mouseMove, use load instead.
Secondly, this is a very narrow "tutorial", and it's not explained very well.
Thirdly, the greater part of it is not really Actionscript, and the rest is explained better in AS: Drag & Drop by Inglor.

It does'nt work for me:(

[T-H]

What is this?

Its just a masking tutorial, with copied code from Drag 'n Drop
You didn't even use AS setMask()
It looks about 5 minutes work.

Pointless.

Pff.. You guys are mean, don't make him sad. :(
Be positive!

It wasn't the best AS but it's okay :D

[Gutya-alt]

It does work actually.

There is actually, but not with startDrag LOL

best drag evaarrr:

onClipEvent(mouseMove){
this._x = _root._xmouse;
this._y = _root._ymouse;
updateAfterEvent();
}

Even better.

onClipEvent(mouseMove){
this._x = _root._xmouse;
this._y = _root._ymouse;
}

this is pretty pointless, if you just think about it you can practically figure it out by yourself, but still congrats on spending the time to write it up..

Won't that create problems with right clicking? Cursors seem to do that...

Whatever, not a big fan of startDrag anyway...

Yeah the smoothdrag(omgcopyright) is more laggy than a crappy startDrag, that goes without saying really.... but it doesnt affect the movie a whole lot. unless you have a whole load of shit going on.
