Mouse Position inside a Frame

Hallo,
is it possible to get the position of the mouse relative to the Frame and not to the component where I added the MouseListener?
kind regards
Markus

You could first check where the component starts in the frame and then add those starting coordinates to the coordinates. If there is a faster way to do this please post it

Mouse position inside a movieclip area

hey
i am trying to solve this problem:
how can i test the position of the mouse inside the area of a specific movieclip WITHOUT using rollover and rollout events?
the movieclip is the irregular shape (star)
i need to do some action according to the position of mouse (inside/outside of the movieclip area) but i can not use rollover event because i have a button placed over the movieclip.
thanks for help

it'll probably be easier for you to change your setup so you can use a rollover/rollout. otherwise, you have to use a shape-based hittest (check gskinner) or the geometry of your shape.

Change Mouse Cursor Inside JTextPane

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to change the mouse cursor of a specific text of a JTextPane to:
setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));This specific text is a hyperlink which its color is blue and it is underlined, so I want to have the mouse cursor changed to make clearer that you can click on it.
I thought about trying to track the mouse position inside the JTextPane until it reachs the text position but I am not aware of any class that provides this feature. Does anyone know or have another ideia?
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance

This specific text is a hyperlink which its color is blue and it is underlined, so I want to have the mouse cursor changed to make clearer that you can click on it.That's the default behavior (in the default Metal LaF, at least) when you setEditable(false). And IMO it doesn't make much sense to change the cursor or allow hyperlink navigation when the text pane is editable.

Mouse position always zero

Hello!
I am developing a rather big application in Labview ver 8.2.
I have a problem with getting the mouse position inside a picture.
The property node mouse->mouse position always returns (-1, -1) or (0, 0). The (-1, -1) returns if the mouse is positioned over a scrollbar.
My problem is that the (0, 0) is returned for every position inside the picture.
Now i wonder if anybody has any suggestions how to get the mouse position to be returned correctly.
Best regards
Erik Johansson

Are you saying that you cannot reproduce the problem if you reduce it to a very small program (e.g. a loop containing only an image, appropriate property node with indicator and a small wait statement)?
Where did your code come from? Was it converted from an earlier version or coded from scratch in 8.20? Have you tried deleting the current image indicator and creating a new one?

Easing a gotoAndStop(frame) given by the mouse position

Hi there.
I have an external swf loaded into the background and i want it to go to a frame according to the mouse vertical position.
Example: when the mouse is on the bottom part of the screen the movie is in the frame 0 and when it is on the top value goes to 800.
so far i did it like this:
_root.onEnterFrame = function () {
     var frame:Number = Stage.height-_ymouse;
     bgContainer.gotoAndStop(frame);
      }
But somehow i need it to ease between the values given by the mouse position so that when there is a fast movement of the mouse, the swf only gradually goes to the frame equivalent to the last mouse position.
any sugestions??
Cheers!

actualFrame ist not a number NaN so i can't use it to define a frame to the clip to stop..
I just need a function that makes something like this:
_ymouse           ---->            clip.gotoAndStop()
     1                  ---->                     1
     800              ---->                     16
     800              ---->                     26
     800              ---->                     67
     800              ---->                     135
     800              ---->                     233
     800              ---->                     358
     800              ---->                     498
     800              ---->                     571
     800              ---->                     704
     800              ---->                     731

Hwo to "track the mouse position"

I m a java newbie, and need to write a small program to track the mouse position.
basically, it opens a small window, and tell you the current mouse x, y coordinate. when mouse moves, hte x, y changes...
by the way, how can i compile it to .exe file, after i finished coding.
i try this way, but so many errors.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class mouseWin {
public static void main(String[] args)
          protected int last_x=0, last_y=0;
          mouseMoved(MouseEvent e);
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Mike's Mouse");
JLabel X = new JLabel("x: " + last_x + "y: " + last_y);
frame.getContentPane().add(X);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
     public mouseMoved(mouseEvent e)
          last_x = e.getx();
          last_y = e.gety();

please help.
i rewrite the code, but still cannot get it work

Mouse position capturing

I was wondering if there is a way to capture the mouse position w/o the use of a frame or jframe? I already know how to use the MouseListener on the JFrame/Frame, but that is no help to me since I'm not using a frame at all. Any suggestions????

What is your goal. This will work -- (the window is 1 pixel!) -- because the robot starts a "drag" and
swing has mouse capture during drag, but as soon as the use clicks, it's over...
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class X {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws AWTException {
        JWindow w = new JWindow();
        Container cp = w.getContentPane();
        cp.addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionListener() {
            public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
                   System.out.println(e.getPoint());
            public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
        w.setBounds(new Rectangle(0,0,1,1));
        w.setVisible(true);
        Robot rob = new Robot();
        rob.mouseMove(0,0);
        rob.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
        rob.mouseMove(100,100);

Bitmap Rotation According to Mouse Position?

Hi,
I am working on a 2d computer graphics project, and I need a good function to rotate a Bitmap 360 degree according to my mouse position.
for example:

Hi,
I am working on a 2d computer graphics project, and I need a good function to rotate a Bitmap 360 degree according to my mouse position.
for example:
Hello,
To rotate that image, we need to deal with the following tips.
1. The image size.
If the area for that image rotated is not big enough, it will just lose some parts of that image.
Here is a nice code shared in this thread
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5199205/how-do-i-rotate-image-then-move-to-the-top-left-0-0-without-cutting-off-the-imag/5200280#5200280.
private Bitmap RotateImage(Bitmap b, float Angle)
// The original bitmap needs to be drawn onto a new bitmap which will probably be bigger
// because the corners of the original will move outside the original rectangle.
// An easy way (OK slightly 'brute force') is to calculate the new bounding box is to calculate the positions of the
// corners after rotation and get the difference between the maximum and minimum x and y coordinates.
float wOver2 = b.Width / 2.0f;
float hOver2 = b.Height / 2.0f;
float radians = -(float)(Angle / 180.0 * Math.PI);
// Get the coordinates of the corners, taking the origin to be the centre of the bitmap.
PointF[] corners = new PointF[]{
new PointF(-wOver2, -hOver2),
new PointF(+wOver2, -hOver2),
new PointF(+wOver2, +hOver2),
new PointF(-wOver2, +hOver2)
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
PointF p = corners[i];
PointF newP = new PointF((float)(p.X * Math.Cos(radians) - p.Y * Math.Sin(radians)), (float)(p.X * Math.Sin(radians) + p.Y * Math.Cos(radians)));
corners[i] = newP;
// Find the min and max x and y coordinates.
float minX = corners[0].X;
float maxX = minX;
float minY = corners[0].Y;
float maxY = minY;
for (int i = 1; i < 4; i++)
PointF p = corners[i];
minX = Math.Min(minX, p.X);
maxX = Math.Max(maxX, p.X);
minY = Math.Min(minY, p.Y);
maxY = Math.Max(maxY, p.Y);
// Get the size of the new bitmap.
SizeF newSize = new SizeF(maxX - minX, maxY - minY);
// ...and create it.
Bitmap returnBitmap = new Bitmap((int)Math.Ceiling(newSize.Width), (int)Math.Ceiling(newSize.Height));
// Now draw the old bitmap on it.
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(returnBitmap))
g.TranslateTransform(newSize.Width / 2.0f, newSize.Height / 2.0f);
g.RotateTransform(Angle);
g.TranslateTransform(-b.Width / 2.0f, -b.Height / 2.0f);
g.DrawImage(b, 0, 0);
return returnBitmap;
2. The location of that control which displays that image.
If we use a picturebox, and set its sizemode to autosize like the following line, then if you just want to rotate that image to show, and you don't want to that affects the original image, then we need to keep its center point.
this.pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize;
We could add resize event handler after we set image for that picturebox.
Point pOrign;
Size sOrign;private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize;
Image img = Image.FromFile(@"D:\Documents\New folder\New folder\TestImage.PNG");
this.pictureBox1.Image = img;
this.pictureBox1.InitialImage = img;
pOrign = new Point(this.pictureBox1.Left , this.pictureBox1.Top );
sOrign = new Size(this.pictureBox1.Width, this.pictureBox1.Height);
this.pictureBox1.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle;
this.pictureBox1.Resize += pictureBox1_Resize;
private void pictureBox1_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.pictureBox1.Left = this.pOrign.X + (this.sOrign.Width - this.pictureBox1.Width) / 2;
this.pictureBox1.Top = this.pOrign.Y + (this.sOrign.Height - this.pictureBox1.Height) / 2;
3. The angle between that center point and your mouse postion.
We could get that value inside the picturebox's container's mouse_move event.
Double angleNew ; private void pictureBoxContainer_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
angleNew = Math.Atan2(this.pOrign.Y + this.sOrign.Height / 2 - e.Y, this.pOrign.X + this.sOrign.Width/2 - e.X) * 180.0 / Math.PI;
But when to start rotate that image, it should be your chooice, and you could decide when rotate that image with the following line.
this.pictureBox1.Image = (Image)RotateImage(new Bitmap(this.pictureBox1.InitialImage), (float)angleNew);
If you just want to save that change to that image, then you could save that bitmap to file directly.
Happy new year.
Regards.

here's my situation, hope someone can help..
i wanna Zoom an image, which zoom from my mouse position
like in windows photo gallery in windows vista
so i do this..
g2.translate(iMoux,iMouy);
        g2.scale(zoom, zoom);
        g2.translate(-iMoux,-iMouy);
        g.drawImage(icon.getImage(), iSposx, iSposx, d.width/2-iValue, d.height-iBawah, null);
        g.drawImage(icon2.getImage(), d.width/2, iSposy, d.width/2-iValue, d.height-iBawah, null);the problem come when i move my mouse to the different location (like from top right to bottom left)
the zoom image displayed in the screen like jump from latest location to new location
anybody can help me...a clue how to do that?
thx appreciate your help guys

Hi Frank.
Thanks for the response.
Agreed, the pertinent question is why can't my colleague edit the JPG exported by Aperture. It's probably also worth pointing out, the same problem occurs with JPGs exported from iPhoto.
The Windows software usually plays nicely with JPGs by all acounts, just not the ones I send - which I do via eMail or my public space on Mobile Me incidently.
So, another key question is: all settings being equal (color profile, quality, etc.) are the JPGs as produced by iPhoto and Aperture indistinguishable from those produced by other apps on other platforms - i.e. does the use of JPG enforce a common standard?
If that is the case, I suspect ours might be a permissions issue.
According to the Microsoft support page on editing in Windows Live Photo Gallery, the inability to edit a picture is commonly caused by unsupported file type, or read-only attribute set on the file.
Unfortunately, he and I are not in the same place, and he's not particularly au-fait with this type of problem solving. Hence, before involving him, I'd like to know:
1. it's possible (i.e. someone else does it), and,
2. what's involved (at my end and/or his).
Thanks again,
PB

System not sensing mouse position

Starting today, my computer (iMac G5 PPC) no longer senses the position of my mouse pointer. For instance:
- The dock doesn't magnify when the mouse is in it
- None of the corners activate things like screensaver, expose, desktop
- When I select a menu in the menu bar, moving the mouse over another menu item doesn't open that menu.
In other words, OSX simply has no clue where my mouse pointer is located as I move it for all those neat automatic things. Yet, I can still use the mouse to click on items to make them work, then OSX knows where the mouse is.
I've rebooted several times to no effect, but did notice something. As apps start up, the instant a window opens, OSX will sense the mouse position for that brief moment. For example, putting the mouse over the dock doesn't magnify, but when an app window appears, the dock will magnify that very instance. Moving the mouse out of the dock area doesn't unmagnify the dock, it's stuck in that state until either another window opens, causing OSX to sense the new position, or I click any mouse button which all gets OSX's attention and senses the mouse position.
The pointer never changes when I'm over things like Links.
Strange stuff. The mouse moves fine, it's just not being detected as it moves.
Now, yesterday I installed a new ScanSnap scanner with the ScanSnap Manager software and Acrobat Standard ver. 7. But the mouse didn't have this behavior yesterday, or even this morning. This strange problem just appeared out of the blue mid-day today.
I've since used Disk Utility and Onyx, and re-installed the 10.4.9 update. I switched to another user account, no difference, so it's definitely system wide.
This doesn't stop me from using my iMac, but I just don't know how to fix this mouse issue besides a OSX re-install.

Ok everybody, I finally got proper behavior, it's just too bad I'm not sure of the procedure.
When I go to bed I usually run the mouse pointer to the upper left corner to activate the screensaver. Of course it didn't work. But I also knew that clicking a button causes the mouse to be sensed, so I was pushing some of the buttons while in the corner to see if I could get the screensaver going.
Well, after doing this, everything is back to normal operation again. So, I fixed it totally by accident. Makes me wonder if there's some features that are turned on and off somehow by doing whatever it was I did up in that corner.
Just so you know, I use a Logitech Cordless Optical Trackman. I swapped to the original Apple corded mouse but that made no difference.
I never had a chance to try the suggestions since I just read them before posting this.
Anyway, I hope I don't do again whatever it was that caused the behavior, but I am going to store this info in DEVONthink just in case something like this happens again.
Anyway, it would still be interesting if someone could shed some light on this fix I accidently found. Perhaps some hidden capabilities/features? Or just dumb luck?

Why is the position of key frame BEFORE scene changes not after?

Why is the position of I frame BEFORE scene changes not after?
And, why doesn't MovieVideoChart show any I frames other than those that correspond to periodic "key frames every X frames"? Is it reading meta data and not really showing where the real existing I frames are located? I.e. WYSIAL (what you see is a lie)? If so, where can I get an affordable tool that will let me examine my files in this regard?
I have put compression and chapter marks at scene changes in FCP and have exported with markers for DVDSP (both chapter and compression).
I have read on this forum (somewhere) that when insert key frames every X frames is selected, Compressor is still going to insert key frames automatically at key frames.
When I last encoded with H.264 in Compressor, I selected option to insert I key frame every 90 frames (fps=29.97).
When I jump to chapter in my encoded video, where I had place a key frame at a cut, I end up with a chapter at the frame BEFORE the cut.
I will try moving my chapter/compression marks a frame ahead and see if that helps.
Certainly, others must have been plagued by this problem.
When encoding with MPEG2 for DVD, the same thing happens.
It is a real problem. I get one frame appearing before the cut in chapter skips.
Hope someone can illuminate this problem.

Hi there
As you have seen, RoboHelp doesn't understand how to create the layers you are wanting to achieve the effect in Word. It simply brings the images in as separate objects.
Basically there are two approaches you might consider.
You could insert Positioned Text Boxes and configure them to present the images as you want. If you take this approach, you will likely find yourself struggling to maintain the positioning consistently as well as noticing text flow issues. Personally, I'd avoid that approach.
The other approach involves displaying the images in your Word document so that you see them as intended, then screen capture so you grab the combined image. Then save that combined image and use it instead of the separate images in RoboHelp. This is the approach I'd suggest and that I use myself.
Cheers... Rick

MAC OS X + stage.fullScreenSourceRect + renderMode set to GPU = problem with mouse position

When setting stage.fullScreenSourceRect, stage.displayState to StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE; and renderMode to GPU, mouse position is read incorrectly.

Bump up.
Anybody has the same problem and have an idea how to fix it? Or please just check if you have the same problem.. I'm going to submit my game "Amelia and Terror of the Night" (successfully added to iOS store) to MAC App Store but can't do it while this problem appears.
