Passing through a mouse click
I have a canvas with backgroundAlpha=0 over some other components, so that I can use rollOver and rollOut to trigger some events. However, i can't get the mouse to work with the components underneath the tranparent canvas. Is there a way to pass the mouse click event on to the components underneath the canvas?
thanks,
jq
Thanks very much for your answer.
In my case, I have a List which already has click actions assigned to its items. Basically, I want the list to disappear when the mouse is out of it, an reappear when the mouse is over it. For this purpose, I overlayed it with a transparent canvas, which responds to rollOver and rollOut. But then the list no longer responds to the mouse clicks. Is there a way to get the overlayed convas to pass the mouse click to the list so it responds normally again?

Need a shortcut to "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above option preference" I know where it is and how to use it but I have to go through 7 mouse clicks to change it, then a few minutes later change it back. I also know the sequnce is alt t, alt o, alt c, alt a, then ok, ok. Got to be a way to make a one key short cut for this. I use a black background to reduce eye strain, but about 10% of the webpage I go to can't be send with black so I have to go into tools and hit 6 or 7 things to chnage it then after through with webpage have to do it all over at Not allow webpages to have own color.

MIAW WindowType - preventing pass-through clicks, but non-modal?
Other than the 10 types listed in the Help files, does anyone
know about any
other window types? What I'm specifically looking for is like
a tool
palette - which floats over the stage, but if you click on
it, the clicks do
not pass through the MIAW to the stage below it. So far, the
only way I
know to do that is to make it a modal dialog box, which is
NOT what I want,
because I want to still be able to click on things on the
stage, just not if
they're directly behind the tool palette.
Alternatively, is there a way to make sure all mouse-clicks
within a MIAW do
NOT pass through to the stage behind it? I'm using type 4,
"Movable window
without size box or zoom box", which seems to be the closest
one to what I
want, but I need to stop those pass-through clicks from
messing up the
stage..."Darrel Hoffman" <[email protected]> wrote in message

Darrel,
out of all the possible ways to do what you want, you have
probably
picked the worse.
Now you run into trouble, of course.
First:
Read up on the way events are processed in Director, and
passed or not
passed from object to object.
Second:
Did you actually READ what I wrote? You just keep repeating
the same
things that dont make sense...
The mouseDown event is not the problem, the problem is that
you check
for a mouseDown STATE, not handle a mouseDown EVENT.
You can change your code easily to provide for this and have
the same
result.
Third:
When mouseClicks are somehow not intercepted in the MIAW,
then handle
them yourself in the MIAW.
I agree with Mike that it is your approach to the problem
that creates
this complexity.
If you stick to handling events in the way Director gives
them to you,
you will not have those strange things.
good luck,
Richad. -
Possible to send a mouse click through a JFrame
Hi there.
is there a way to send a mouse click event through a frame to the whatever underneath (another application for example)?
Scenario: I use a Frame for (bigger, colorful) MouseCursor representation (see http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5394797). But of course... The Cursor has to be on top... And so it catches all mouseClickEvents....
Please; all hints are welcome! How do I achieve to send mouse clicks through the JFrame...
Thx in advance
Andi
Edited by: neobond on 30.06.2009 09:43You don't do it that way - you'd just tell the button to dispatch a CLICK MouseEvent and anything listening for the click would get it... something like:
myButton.dispatchEvent(new Event(MouseEvent.CLICK)); -
My Apple TV 2 is slow when trying to move through different menu selections. It is like a slow computer trying to catch up to mouse clicks. It eventually remembers the buttons that were pushed on the remote, but it freezes and takes a minute to catch up.
I had something similar a couple of week ago, it would scroll then stop, scroll then stop.
At some point the porblem went away.
Try unpowering and restarting your AppleTV. Rsetart iTunes too. -
Mouse click and drag through turntable animation
Hi all,
First - thanks for taking the time to look through and possibly helping me with this question.
I'm just getting to grips with flash cc actionscript 3.0 - so I apologise in advance to my not so technical jargon.
In the past I have used actionscript 1.0 to create an interactive html file that contains a turntable animation of a 3D model. Users can mouse click and drag to the left or right to 'spin' the model around - however what they are really doing is scrubing through the timeline which contained 360 images of it from 360 degrees. Similar ideas can be found here: Interactive Thyroidectomy
Now annoying I can't use the old code any more as I'm working in the latest flash cc actionscript 3.0
So how do I do the same thing but in actionscript 3.0?
So I've worked this bit out so far
On my main stage I have two layers - actions layer and another layer with my movie clip (movieclip_mc)
In the actions layer so far:
movieclip_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown);
movieclip_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseUp);
function onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void
movieclip_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
//I should put something in here about mouseX - but no idea what
function onMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void
movieclip_mc.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
function onMouseMove(event:MouseEvent):void
//I have to put something in about total frames - width of movieclip_mc etc but I'm not sure how
// this is what someone else did on another forum - but I'm not sure what it means:
var delta:int = backgroundClip.mouseX - clickedMouseX;
var wantedFrame:uint = (clickedFrame + delta * clip.totalFrames / backgroundClip.width) % clip.totalFrames;
while (wantedFrame < 1)
wantedFrame += clip.totalFrames;
clip.gotoAndStop(wantedFrame);
Also I think i need something in the beginning like.....:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
var clickedMouseX:int;
var clickedFrame:uint;
var backgroundClip:Sprite = getChildByName("background") as Sprite;
var clip:MovieClip = getChildByName("animation") as MovieClip;
clip.stop();
clip.mouseEnabled = false;
.....but I'm a bit confused about what all of it means
So I understand the principle but no idea how to actually make it work - Could anyone help explain it to me or help with the code?
Thanks so much to anyone who can offer some help
CatherineHi Ned,
sorry to bother you again on this subject -
the script...
function onMouseMove(event:MouseEvent): void {
movieclip.gotoAndStop(Math.round(mouseX/movieclip.width*(movieclip.totalFrames-1))+1 )
worked fine - but when you click and drag on the movie clip it didn't always get to the end of the movie and never carried on through the frames back to the beginning like i wanted it to (such as this one does Interactive Thyroidectomy)
So I went back to the older 2.0 script and played with it a bit to be :
function onMouseMove(event:MouseEvent): void {
changeDistance = movieclip.mouseX - startX;
travelDistance = startFrame + changeDistance;
if (travelDistance > movieclip.totalFrames) {
movieclip.gotoAndStop (travelDistance % movieclip.totalFrames);
} else if (travelDistance < 0) {
movieclip.gotoAndStop (movieclip.totalFrames + (travelDistance % movieclip.totalFrames));
} else {
movieclip.gotoAndStop (travelDistance);
.... which almost works but it is very stuttery to mouse over and then it has this output error..

I've obviously put some code in the wrong place - could you help me find out what it might be?
I haven't labelled any frames odd numbers such as 15.4499999999999989 or labeled scenes than number either.
I can send you my scene if that would help?
Thanks very much for your time Ned
(p.s Or maybe if it is easier you might offer some guidance as to how i can change the action script

movieclip.gotoAndStop(Math.round(mouseX/movieclip.width*(movieclip.totalFrames-1))+1 )
to allow it to be more like Interactive Thyroidectomy -
Pass Mouse click events from JavaScript to Falsh Movie
Hi,
I have an interesting problem here.
i am trying to create a web page which has my
flash-presentation movie. i need to disable mouse click &
keyboard click navigation of the flash movie. The only way by which
i can navigate my slide in the flash movie should be using 2
buttons say Next & Prev that are i my web page.
when i click the Next button i should be able to go to the
next slid or the animation in the same slide like how i do in the
power Point.
Is there any way by which i can send these mouse click
events from my javascript to my flash movie or is there any other
means by which i can achieve this.
~BlackperilHi Mathias,
What i understood is that you want to triger a server side event (simulate onClick event of button)from a client side event (javascript confirm popup), based on the choice of user..
You can also try this one...
Check = confirm("Do you really want to proceed?");
if (Check == true)
document.getElementById('do_proceed').click();
else
document.getElementById('do_cancel').click();

Swipe Effect through mouse click
Hi,
I am new to animations and trying to add few in my application.
(1)Whenever I am navigating to different page (by a click or double click of a node ), I want to have an animation -- old page moving towards left and getting removed altogether and new page getting loaded from right hand side.
Something like a page swipe in ios/android devices . However my application is not for touch enabled devices for now.
Is this possible though javafx 2.x . If so , could you direct me to appropriate sample/api.
(2) Can a click of a mouse be mapped to Gesture Events. For example - I click a link/button for navigation and application takes it as a Swipe Event and hence navigates to a different page giving swipe effect ?
Thanks(1) Whenever I am navigating to different page (by a click or double click of a node ), I want to have an animation -- old page moving towards left and getting removed altogether and new page getting loaded from right hand side. Yes, see:
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/animations/basics.htm#CJAJJAGI (Transitions)
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/animation/package-summary.html (Animation API)
http://www.e-zest.net/blog/sliding-in-javafx-its-all-about-clipping/ (Sliding in JavaFX)
http://fxexperience.com/2012/03/canned-animations/ (Animation Lib)
http://gist.github.com/1437374 (Panel Slide Effect)
(2) Can a click of a mouse be mapped to Gesture EventsI don't think this can be done with the public API. One way to do it would be to add a filter on your layout pane which consumes the mouse click event and generates a SwipeEvent, but SwipeEvent has no constructor - so this would not work. There is an existing Jira request to create public constructors for event classes so that this kind of thing could be done. Perhaps you could make use of private impl_ apis or com.sun classes to allow this to be done with JavaFX 2.2, but I wouldn't recommend that approach.
Also it is probably best to place separate questions in separate posts for ease of searching etc. -
NSView subclass and mouse clicks
I wrote a relatively simple program. It's got a single visual component on the window, an NSView subclass with drawing delegated out to another class called Arrow. Anyway, it uses a timer to trigger calls to drawRect which in turn "animates" a layer. I have a 100x100 layer and a velocity & position which get updated each time through depending on how much "real" time has passed. As the layer bounces around the screen, the animation seems smooth and everything looks good. If I start clicking in the window, however, things get wonky. The animation stutters (probably expected) and the position sometimes gets set back to the origin (0,0, bottom left corner of screen). I wonder if there's something I can do to stop mouse clicks from affecting the view, I have no set up anything to use the mouse clicks AT ALL so I don't really know how they can affect anything in the code I wrote. If this isn't enough info to answer the question, I'll post the xcode project.
The end result is going to be a very simple 2d game with maybe 8-10 things on the screen moving around at any one time. My next step is to try out openGL but using these CALayers seemed a lot simpler. However, since you say any event will block, I expect that will happen to opengl as well. I'll dig some more in the examples. It seems I followed the pattern from the crash landing demo (although I'm doing it on the mac itself, not iphone/simulator) to set up the rendering.
When you suggest using core animation, are you talking about just telling it the start/end position and the speed, and letting it handle everything in between? I don't think that will work for my case because eventually I will have to handle mouse/keyboard events to alter the movement in real-time. Am I missing something?
Thanks again for your help. -
Hello
Simple problem - don,t know how to solve it.
With Premiere CC when I try to do a selection (click... drag... release the click) very often it stop way before the end of the move I'm swinging the Magic Mouse. I taught that the mouse clicking was defective and went to get a new Magic Mouse after lots of frustration. Today, I have an edit to do it it does the SAME thing !!
I was like ????#$%?&*(???
Opened all the lights and taught I've trow the new mouse to the garbage and was using the defective mouse again... no !! - ??
Actually, the bran new mouse is doing the same thing. What I understand after investigating on the motion and watching carefully my fingers !! - is that when I click I have to keep my finger at the EXACT same place on the mouse... drag and release and it's fine. If I click by pushing on the mouse and my finder is moving of a 1/32th of a millimeter, it will release and my selection will be to redo. You can understand my frustration ! - 75$ later... same problem, but I know that if I click with about 5 pounds of pressure and trying to pass my finger through the plastic of the mouse, it you stay steady and make it !
The problem is that scrolling is enable while clicking and it bugs.
How to disable it ??
Simple question - can't find the answer !Helllooo !?
sorry but the Magic Mouse is just useless with the new Adobe Premiere CC and since I'm not the only one but can't find answer this is really disappointing. This mouse is just fantastic and now I have to swap from a USB mouse to the Magic Mouse every times I do some editing. My USB mouse if hurting my hand somehow and I want to got back to the Magic Mouse asap. Please - for sure there is a simple solution !
Thanks !! -
Multiple JButtons inside JTable cell - Dispatch mouse clicks
Hi.
I know this subject has already some discussions on the forum, but I can't seem to find anything that solves my problem.
In my application, every JTable cell is a JPanel, that using a GridLayout, places vertically several JPanel's witch using an Overlay layout contains a JLabel and a JButton.
As you can see, its a fairly complex cell...
Unfortunately, because I use several JButtons in several locations inside a JTable cell, sometimes I can't get the mouse clicks to make through.
This is my Table custom renderer:
public class TimeTableRenderer implements TableCellRenderer {
Border unselectedBorder = null;
Border selectedBorder = null;
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected,
boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
if (value instanceof BlocoGrid) {
if (isSelected) {
if (selectedBorder == null)
selectedBorder = BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(2,2,2,2, table.getSelectionBackground());
((BlocoGrid) value).setBorder(selectedBorder);
} else {
if (unselectedBorder == null)
unselectedBorder = BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(2,2,2,2, table.getBackground());
((BlocoGrid) value).setBorder(unselectedBorder);
return (Component) value;
}and this is my custom editor (so clicks can get passed on):
public class TimeTableEditor extends AbstractCellEditor implements TableCellEditor {
private TimeTableRenderer render = null;
public TimeTableEditor() {
render = new TimeTableRenderer();
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,
boolean isSelected, int row, int column) {
if (value instanceof BlocoGrid) {
if (((BlocoGrid) value).barras.size() > 0) {
return render.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, true, row, column);
return null;
public Object getCellEditorValue() {
return null;
}As you can see, both the renderer and editor return the same component that cames from the JTable model (all table values (components) only get instantiated once, so the same component is passed on to the renderer and editor).
Is this the most correct way to get clicks to the cell component?
Please check the screenshot below to see how the JButtons get placed inside the cell:
http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=calendarxo9.jpg
If you need more info, please say so.
Thanks.My mistake... It worked fine. The cell span code was malfunctioning. Thanks anyway.

Missing "Bookmark All Tabs…" feature which was in previous versions of FireFox 3.x. If you right-mouse click on a neutral part of the Browser window, there would be choice of "Bookmark this page" or "Bookmark All Tabs…". I have been unable to find it either in the sub-menu or the BOOKMARK selection from the Menu Bar.
What do you mean by Tabs sub-menu is it right-clicking on a tab ?
I know that "ctrl-shift-D" still work.
I know that a right-click on a tab gives the "Bookmark all Tabs" function.
But I would like to see it back in the Bookmarks menu. (which is its logical place)
Because today the choice only disappeared from the menu as it is still reachable through keyboard shortcut or through mouse right-click on a tab
but tomorrow it will totally disappear and personally I don't want that as this is one of my favorite functionality.

Automator - How do I: Mouse Click, Move Windows, and more
Hello,
I am attempting to create my own Automator programs and for a while I had some that worked nicely. I have recently been tweaking my iMac so that it can "think" on its own (by automator of course) and do things for me. However, I've run across a block with Mavericks (I believe it's due to Mavericks).
1. How can I get Automator to register a mouse click? "Watch me do" does not seem to want to work for me at all. I also would prefer if it would just be a registered mouse click, but not actually use the mouse (I know this is possible) so that if I'm doing something and it runs, it won't disturb my mouse and I can keep working.
2. How can I register a keyboard stroke? Same as above
3. How can I have automator move windows? I have two monitors and there are times when I may want it to move a window from one mintor to another
The following is a list of all the things I'm attempting to accomplish at the moment (with other things when I think of them) with automator (either through applications, folder actions, or ical actions):
1. Register a mouse click at a given area or on a given element in a safari page
2. Register a keyboard stroke in a given program (be able to focus on a program and then do the keystroke)
3. Move windows from one location to another
4. Full-screen and Un-full-screen iTunes at certain times of day
5. Download all purchased items on iTunes that aren't on the computer (sometimes iTunes doesn't download stuff if it was downloaded on my MacBook Pro first)
6. Automatically voice read reminders (that I've set in Reminders) each day at a given time (I can use loop to repeat it to make sure I hear it all)
I'll think of more of course, but the mouse click, keyboard stroke, and moving windows is the big thing I'm trying to figure out how to do. Can anyone help?
Also, I am not a computer tech. I am tinkering with this because it's fun and helpful, but an answer of "just use applescript" or "just use java" will likely just give me a headache. I know that it's going to be one of those codes, but I'm hoping someone has a "base" code that can be copied and pasted that's just a standard click that I can adjust for where I need to click and what process I need to click on.
If there is an Action Pack that includes a "Register Mouse Click" and/or "Register Keyboard Stroke", then that would work great, but the only action packs for automator I've seen that work with Mavericks is for photoshop.You're asking for a lot in one post. It would be better to break your requests down a bit.
For example, to deal with mouse clicks, you can use the Automator Action Run Shell Script with this python script:
import sys
import time
from Quartz.CoreGraphics import *
def mouseEvent(type, posx, posy):
theEvent = CGEventCreateMouseEvent(None, type, (posx,posy), kCGMouseButtonLeft)
CGEventPost(kCGHIDEventTap, theEvent)
def mousemove(posx,posy):
mouseEvent(kCGEventMouseMoved, posx,posy);
def mouseclick(posx,posy):
mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseDown, posx,posy);
mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseUp, posx,posy);
ourEvent = CGEventCreate(None);
# Save current mouse position
currentpos=CGEventGetLocation(ourEvent);
# Click the "Apple"
mouseclick(25, 5);
# 1 second delay
time.sleep(1);
# Restore mouse position
mousemove(int(currentpos.x),int(currentpos.y))
It will look like this in Automator:
To drag something (i.e. a window, a file icon) from position 40,60 to 60,300:
import time
from Quartz.CoreGraphics import *
def mouseEvent(type, posx, posy):
theEvent = CGEventCreateMouseEvent(None, type, (posx,posy), kCGMouseButtonLeft)
CGEventPost(kCGHIDEventTap, theEvent)
def mousemove(posx,posy):
mouseEvent(kCGEventMouseMoved, posx,posy);
def mouseclickdn(posx,posy):
mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseDown, posx,posy);
def mouseclickup(posx,posy):
mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseUp, posx,posy);
def mousedrag(posx,posy):
mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseDragged, posx,posy);
ourEvent = CGEventCreate(None);
# Save current mouse position
currentpos=CGEventGetLocation(ourEvent);
# move mouse to upper left of screen
mouseclickdn(40, 60);
# drag icon to new location
mousedrag(60, 300);
# release mouse
mouseclickup(60, 300);
# necessary delay
time.sleep(1);
# return mouse to start positon
mouseclickdn(int(currentpos.x),int(currentpos.y));

Recording keystrokes and mouse clicks?
Greetings,
I need to be able to make scripts/macros by recording keystrokes and mouse clicks with location.
Is this possible with Automator?
Does anyone know of a way program to do this?
It seems so simple.
ThanksKeyboard shortcuts were often missed. For example, I tried this sequence many times.
0: (setup: text editor is scrolled to first line and cursor is at the beginning of the first line)
1: Click on text editor window to focus it.
2: press SHIFT-DownArrow to move cursor down one line and select the first line
3: press CMD-X to cut the line.
Automator never would capture those key strokes.
But today I has a break through. This sequence does work:
0: (setup: text editor is scrolled to bottom of the file and the cursor is placed below the last line.)
1: Click on text editor window to focus it.
2: press SHIFT-UpArror to move cursor up one line and select the last line.
3: press CMD-X to cut the line.
about 70% of the time this did get recorded correctly (I did maybe 3 recordings and one failed to select). Once it got recorded correctly it worked reliably.
So it seems to be able to capture some sequences but not others. Both sequences work very reliably when I type them but automator can only capture the last sequence.
Thanks for the suggestions. This tool is better than nothing but not anything I would recommend.
