AS3 code for Mouse Event

The posting with the example should work for you as long as you create a movieclip called tooltips (which would be your popup... you can name it whatever you like, but tooltips was used as an example). Inside tooltips would be textfields which you will assign whatever text you wish to assign... below I use textfieldx and textfieldy as the instance names for these textfields

function showClip(evt:MouseEvent) {
tooltips.x = evt.target.x + evt.target.width;
tooltips.y = evt.target.y - evt.target.height;
tooltips.textfieldx.txt = "X: " + evt.localX;
tooltips.textfieldy.txt = " Y: " +evt.localX;
tooltips.visible = true
}

You can do show/hide movieclip on mouseover. get your box position and assign to the popup (tooltip movieclip).

see this...
not tested. but it should work.


import flash.events.MouseEvent;
function showClip(evt:MouseEvent) {
tooltips.x = evt.target.x + evt.target.width;;
tooltips.y = evt.target.y - evt.target.height;
tooltips.visible = true
}
function hideClip(evt:MouseEvent) {
tooltips.visible = false;
}

box.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, showClip);
box.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, hideClip);

I assume you'll create two movieclips named: box and tooltips

Presently, I am using Action Script 3.0 using Flash 9.
But, I couldn't understand the code present in above link.

Please explain me..

Thanks a lot for your help......

As I am new to the AS3 platform, You had helped me....


Now I need to display these x and y co-ordinate values in a pop-up when clicked.

You can see the sample output here for Mouse_RollOver event in the below link:

This could help you.

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
function listener(evt:MouseEvent) {
trace(evt.localX, evt.localX);
//text_txt.text = "X: " + evt.localX + " Y: " +evt.localX;
}

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, listener);
//box.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, listener);
