Duplicating Clips, on click...?

programming flash
1

Hi,

I have been trying to get my website so that, no matter where u click, a “ripple” will appear around the cursor and REMAIN where you originally clicked until the animation has stopped playing. I have tried doing it by having a button that is invisible that is dragged by the cursor, but i do not know how to get the duplicated movie clip to stay where i clicked?

I have just created a simple “ripple” movie clip to be played on click.

I am not very fluent with action script so i don’t really know how to use the duplicate movie clip function, or how to get the duplicated clip to be on the X and Y position of the mouse…

I have seen this effect done in the signiture of one of the members on here, but i don’t recall who it was…

Any help is greatly appreciatted.

Thanks…

I suck at actionscript too! But try this (paste it into a frame, not a movie clip)…


_root.follower.onMouseDown = function() {
	_root.follower._x = _xmouse;
	_root.follower._y = _ymouse;
	_root.follower.gotoAndPlay(1);
};

Follower = your Movie Clip, so change that to whatever the instance name of your movie clip is.

Hopefully this helps.

Like I said, I am not that good with AS, I just started learning it not too long ago, but I tried that with a square movie clip that I had tweening to a larger size.

It may not be exactly what you wanted, but maybe you can adapt it in some way.
