The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

as3 run a function when mouse down and over an mc

Asked by cubical38 in Game Programming User Interface, ActionScript

Tags: actionscript 3

I have a movie where I have a custom cursor. On mouse down (held) particle effects are activated and on release or mouse up they stop. I also have a "wall" made up of several mc's. When the custom cursor clicks on each individual piece (mc), the piece becomes alpha = 0; I need to be able to have this happen when the mouse is in the mouse down state. As to say: click the mouse down and hold it, as the user navigates the mouse over each piece (mc) a function is fired (the mc becomes alpha = 0)... I have the function firing, but only when the use clicks the mouse and I want the function to fire regardless of click or mouse over while the mouse is down (held)... Below is the code for the mouse_down and mouse_up functions. Below that is the alpha functions (AS3). Any help in the right direction is, well, helpful...

Thanks
