I want to run an Actionscript function when a user has his mouse in my flash stage.
Not in a specific button/image on the stage but just in the stage.
But when trying to use mouse over action on stage i get this message:
"This action requires an object to be selected on stage."
So, how can i use mouse over in the whole stage?
In AS3 there's an event for when mouse leaves the stage so you could do something like this to get if the users mouse is in the stage.
var _mouseOnStage : Boolean = true;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_LEAVE, onMouseLeave);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
function onMouseLeave(e:MouseEvent) : void {
_mouseOnStage = false;
}
function onMouseMove(e:MouseEvent):void{
_mouseOnStage = true;
}
You need to have something that can be clicked, like some graphics drawing.
If you fill the stage with a rectangle of the same size, then add an event listener to the Stage, it should recognise it.
