Tài liệu Using Mouse Events ppt

< Day Day Up > Using Mouse Events Mouse events control the execution of scripts when the mouse interacts with a button or movie clip instance. You use them to emulate things you might do with your hands. Making Contact: on (press) In the physical world, when you touch or press something—a person or an ice cube—you expect a reaction: the person responds, the ice cube melts. The on (press) event handler works great for emulating touching, grabbing, or just plain pushing, as well as the results of any of these actions. You can use this event handler to trigger a script when the cursor is above a button or movie clip instance and the mouse button is pressed. Letting Go: on (release) When you release something or cease to make contact with it, you're usually finished interacting with it and ready to move on. This event handler—which emulates letting go of something (or dropping it)—is the most direct way of allowing the user to make your movie take action. It's often used on buttons or movie clip instances to trigger actions. You use it to trigger a script when the mouse button is released (it was first pressed while it was over a button or movie clip instance). Pulling, Snapping: on (releaseOutside) Imagine a deck of cards sitting on a table: you push down on the top card with your finger, drag it away from the deck, and then let your finger up. In Flash, this deck of cards could represent a button that the user presses, drags away from, then releases. You can use this event handler to trigger a script when your user has pressed a movie button or movie clip instance but released the mouse away from it, making this event handler useful for emulating pulling or snapping. Keyboard Control: on (keyPress) You use this event to program your movie to trigger a script when a user presses a letter, number, punctuation mark, symbol, or arrow key; or the Backspace, Insert, Home, End, Page Up, or Page Down key. Over But Not Touching: on (rollOver) You can place your hand over a hot stove and feel the heat without actually touching the stove. Consider using this event handler to emulate the way objects are affected by other objects that radiate heat, cold, light, air, and so on—with the button or movie clip instance as the radiation source. You can also use this event handler to display information about what a button or movie clip instance does before it's pressed (similar to a ToolTip or an HTML hotspot graphic). You employ this event handler to trigger a script when the user places his or her mouse over a button or movie clip instance. No Longer On Top Of: on (rollOut) Obviously, when you move your hand away from that stove, you cease to feel the heat it's radiating and your hand cools down. That's what this event handler emulates. You can use this event handler to trigger a script when the user moves the mouse away from a button or movie clip instance it was formerly over. Grooves, Bumps, Rubbing: on (dragOver) The act of rubbing entails a back-and-forth motion across an area. When a shoe is being shined (cloth dragged over it), for example, it gets slicker with each pass (action). This event handler lets you emulate this type of activity in your movie by triggering a script each time the mouse passes over the same movie button or movie clip instance while the mouse button remains pressed. Oops: on (dragOut) This event handler allows you to emulate what can happen when you press or touch something but then pull away—as if you were to touch someone by accident and quickly pull your hand away once you realize your mistake. You can use this event handler to trigger a script when the user places the pointer over a movie button or movie clip instance, presses the mouse button, and drags it away from the movie button or movie clip instance (while still pressing the mouse button). In this exercise, we'll create a fingerprint scanner that interacts with the user in various ways. In the process, you'll learn several creative uses for these event handlers, enabling you to emulate rubbing, snapping, and more. 1. Open MouseEvents1.fla in the Lesson02/Assets folder. Open the Scene panel and Property Inspector. We're focusing on the ActionScript that makes this project work, so most of the elements are already in place. Let's get acquainted with what's on the stage. The Scene panel shows that our project contains two scenes, Scan and Playroom. We'll begin our work in the Scan scene, which contains five layers that are named according to their content. If you select the box in the bottom center of the screen, you'll see in the Property Inspector that this is a dynamic text field with an instance name of message_mc. If you select the hand graphic, you'll notice in the Property Inspector that this is a movie clip instance named hand_mc. The black box in the middle of the screen is also a movie clip instance; this one is named scanner_mc. On top of this movie clip instance is a button that appears to be a square piece of glass. Soon we'll attach several scripts to this button. 2. Lock the Scanner button layer and double-click the scanner movie clip instance in the middle of the stage to edit it in place. You are now looking at this movie clip's timeline. The overall functionality of this movie clip is not important (move the playhead to see how it appears visually at various points). It is, however, important to be aware of the six frame labels on its timeline. One of the functions of the several scripts we'll attach to our Glass button (on the main timeline) will be to move this movie clip's timeline to these various labels whenever a particular mouse event occurs. 3. Return to the main timeline. With the Actions panel open, select Frame 1 of the Actions layer and add the script: 4. 5. 6. stop (); 7. 8. Mouse.hide(); 9. 10. startDrag ("hand_mc", true); 11. 12. message_txt.text = "Please place your finger on the scanner and press down. Release after 13. 14. 2 seconds."; 15. The first action prevents the movie from moving past this scene until we instruct it to do so. The second action hides the mouse cursor because we will be using the hand_mc movie clip instance as a custom cursor. The third action instructs Flash to drag this instance and move it around the screen as if the instance were the normal mouse cursor. The true parameter in this action automatically centers the dragged clip's center on the tip of the mouse cursor. The last action places the initial text in the text field named message_txt. Because these actions are on Frame 1 of the first scene, they occur as soon as the movie begins to play. 4. With the Actions panel still open, unlock the Scanner button layer, select the button on that layer (which appears as a square sheet of glass), and add the script: 5. 6. on (rollOver) { 7. 8. scanner_mc.gotoAndPlay ("Active"); 9. 10. message_txt.text = "Please press on the screen to continue."; 11. 12. } 13. When the hand moves over the Glass button, we want to give the impression that it's being "sensed" by the scanner. The rollOver event lets us do that by triggering an action when the hand first hovers over the button. This event handler triggers two actions: it sends the scanner_mc movie clip instance to the Active frame, where a short animation provides a visual cue that the scanner is active and ready to be pressed. It then changes the text being displayed in the message_txt text field. 5. Add this script just below the current script: 6. 7. 8. on (rollOut) { 9. 10. scanner_mc.gotoAndPlay ("Inactive"); 11. 12. message_txt.text = "Please place your finger on the scanner and press down. Release 13. 14. after 2 seconds."; 15. 16. } 17. As you can see from this addition, a single button can respond to multiple events. This script (and the rollOut event that triggers it) addresses what happens when the mouse moves away from the button without pressing it. In this case, the scanner_mc movie clip instance is sent to the Inactive frame, where a short animation provides a visual cue that the scanner is resetting. The next action in this script changes the text displayed in the message_txt text field. This is the same text that appears when the movie is first played, once again giving the impression that the scanner has been reset. 6. Add this script just below the current script: 7. 8. on (press) { 9. 10. scanner_mc.gotoAndPlay ("Scan"); 11. 12. message_txt.text = "Now scanning ."; 13. 14. } 15. When the user presses the button and holds it down, this script is triggered. The first action sends the scanner_mc movie clip instance to the frame labeled Scan, where a short, repeating animation of scan lines moving up and down on a scanner provides a visual cue that a scan is taking place. The next action in this script changes the text displayed in the message_txt text field. 7. Add this script below the current script: 8. 9. 10. on (dragOut) { 11. 12. scanner_mc.gotoAndPlay ("Error"); 13. 14. message_txt.text = "An error has occurred. You have removed your finger prior to 15. 16. processing. Please try again."; 17. 18. } 19. This script, and the dragOut event that triggers it, addresses what happens when the mouse button is pressed while over the button but then is dragged away from it while remaining pressed. The thinking here is that the user pressed the button to start the scanning process but then pulled away, abruptly ending the scan. As a result, the scanner_mc movie clip instance is sent to the frame labeled Error, where a short animation provides a visual cue that there was an error in the scan. The next action in this script changes the text displayed in the message_txt text field. 8. Add this script below the current script: 9. 10. on (release) { 11. 12. scanner_mc.gotoAndPlay ("Process"); 13. 14. message_txt.text = "Processing your scan ."; 15. 16. } 17. When the user presses the button and releases it, this script is triggered. The first action sends the scanner_mc movie clip instance to the frame labeled Process, where a short animation indicates that something is being processed and then cleared. At the end of this animation, a frame action instructs the main timeline to go to the Room frame and stop. This frame label is actually on Frame 1 of the Playroom scene, the next scene in our project. This functionality allows an action on the movie clip's timeline to move the main timeline between scenes. The next action in this script changes the text displayed in the message_txt text field. You've now finished setting up this scene. During playback, with proper user interaction, our project should progress to the Playroom scene. Let's continue our work there. 9.
