Can't Find A Point And Click Game Tutorial
Hey i'm really interested in making a room escape game but i can't find a tutorial anywhere. I have very basic flash experience but i think if i could find a good tutorial i could manage pretty well.
Can anybody point me in the direction of a tutorial like this?

Point & Click Game
Hi all,
Before I begin, I must stress I have read the other 2 posts in the Flash Kit forums re this subject (if there are are others, i've missed them ).
Now, this is probably far to complex a project for me right now, but hell, why not just jump right in to the deep end :P I'm also quite stoked with the story I've written for this, but that part is secret right now :P Graphics, i'll be doing myself, backgrounds as per-rendered 3d images, perhaps some animated cutscenes, items as 3d pre-rendered objects.
All i'm really after is perhaps if someone could provide the key points i'll need to bear in mind.
I'll probably be keeping the game 1st person, no main character visible for ease. I'm assuming for an inventory, I could begin with an array with all the items already in, but each item has a value of 0. Once the player clicks on the item, the value can be adjusted to 1. For itmes that can be combined, perhaps have three items as follows; item A, item B and item A&B. Initially they are all set at 0, then when both items separate items are 'used' together (this will require more thought :P ) then item A&B will be assigned the value 1 and the separate items' values reverted to 0.
Anyway, to sum it all up, can someone point me to any resources that will come in useful and to give me some idea of how I should be structuring this.
I look forward to hearing from you all.
Thanks for reading.
Point And Click Adventure Game
I'm trying to develop my own point and click adventure game like the Lucasarts Monkey Island games (gameplay would mostly resemble the third one).
Does anybody know of a good tutorial on how to make one? I myself do know how to actionscript but the current engine I made is so riddled with bugs that it would be easier to just start from scratch.
Making An Inventory For A Point And Click Game
Hi there, im working on a point and click game in flash 8 and im having a hard time getting my head around how i might get my inventory working.
Basiclly, what im trying to achieve is -
you see an object on the stage, and you click it, a message comes up 'you have collected <item>' and the item is added to you inventory. your inventory is a box you can bring up with a little icon for each item youre holding which you can then click and use the item and blah blah blah, thats not the hard part.
So whats difficult is this inventory, how can i load movie clips into a certain place from seemingly no where, because what you click on screen isnt exactly whats going to appear in inventory. And how will i make it so the item loads into the next availiable on screen slot?
Its alot to get my head around, any thoughts, suggestions or examples would be HUGELY appriciated

[CS3] Find Highest Point And Farthest Point Of A Parabola
Hi Guys, I've been using for forum extensively over the past few weeks and have found almost everything I needed until now...
I'm moving a ball using something similar to the following code:
Code:
var spx:Number = 3;
var spy:Number = 7;
var g:Number = 0.1;
var bmove:Boolean = true;
onEnterFrame = function() {
if (bmove) {
move_ball();
}
stop_ball();
}
function stop_ball() {
if (ball._y > 350) {
bmove = false;
}
}
function move_ball() {
spy = spy-g;
ball._x += spx;
ball._y -= spy-g;
}
Is there a way to find the maximum height and farthest point of the parabola it describes? I want to display a path guide using curveTo which shows the route of the ball.
Thanks.

Is It Possible To Find The Color At A Point?
Is there any way to test what color appears at a given (x, y) location in a movie clip?
For instance, I create an empty movie clip, then do some lineTo() and similar vector drawing commands. Then I want to test what color appears at the point (_xmouse, _ymouse). I know I could do this by keeping track of all the drawing commands, and doing lots of calculations. But I'm wondering if there's an easier way.
Any suggestions?

What we know
We know the X,Y cords of A,B and H.
We know the ANGLE of D.
What we want
Is the X,Y cords of any given point on the arc that connect A,B and H them.
My thoughts... If I can find the Center Point of the circle, I can than use that to work out the arc....
Can you guys help me out?
How Do You Find An Object's Center Point?
Hi,
I'm trying to find an object's center point. I've been using .x and .y (eg. object.x) to find the registration point. From there I've been calculating the center point by adding half the objects width to object.x and half the objects height to object.y. The code below is an example of what I've done.
Or is there a way to set an object's registration point to the center of the object?
Is there a method or property that will give me an object's center point automatically without me having to calculate it?
Attach Code
center.x = object.x + (object.width / 2);
center.y = object.y + (object.height / 2);
Find Point Between Two And Do It Again And Again. Making Grid
HI there, i'm triying to make a dinamic generated plane, that plane has a grid with lines in X and Y, by now i'm able to generate a grid clicking and dragging points to make 4 lines and i generated 2 lines between the midles of the opposites lines like this:
here is the app so far:

U have to click and drag to make a line, try making a surface in the table.
now i have this also:

Find Corner Of Mc Regardless Of Registration Point Position
Hello again,
Does anyone know of a way to find the top left corner (for example) of an mc regardless of where it's registration point is?
What I mean is how do I determine where the registration point is for an MC?
This is kinda what I am trying to accomplish: A user mouses over something and no matter what size it is, or where it's registration point is a box will appear right at the top left corner. Not including curves - there are no curves.
Thanks for the help.

Find A Point On A Dynamic Curved Line

Rotation, Find Out Degrees Of A Point, Soooo Simple
I want to find out the angle of a point, which is always on the outline of a circle. I wrote a little function for that, dividing the circle into 4 divisions and using tangens. Anyway, the script seems to be correct, but the results are wrong. Can anybody help me, please????
Code:
/*
mx = _x position of the center of the circle (M)
my = _y position of the center of the circle (M)
px = _x position of the point
py = _y position of the point
*/
Math.circA = function(mx, my, px, py){
var a = 270;
if (px>mx && py > my) {
a = Math.atan(Math.abs(px-mx)/Math.abs(my-py));
} else {if (px<mx && py>my) {
a = 180 - Math.atan(Math.abs(mx-px)/Math.abs(my-py));
} else {if (px<mx && py<my) {
a = 180 + Math.atan(Math.abs(mx-px)/Math.abs(py-my));
} else {
a = 360 - Math.atan(Math.abs(px-mx)/Math.abs(py-my));
}}}
trace("circA() " + arguments.toString() + " = " + a);
return a;
}
/* 1. set dot to a position on the circle, i.e. 225 degrees
M is on _x:160 and _y:160, radius is 100
*/
this.dot._x = 160 + 100 * Math.cos(225 * (Math.PI / 180));
this.dot._y = 160 + 100 * Math.sin(225 * (Math.PI / 180));
// 2. Get the angle of the dot on the circle (usually between 0 and 360)
trace(Math.circA(160, 160, this.dot._x, this.dot._y));
Find Point On Rect Edge Based On Angle
I did not find anything that helped me with this anywhere on the net, and I racked my brain for what seemed like...
Well... just too long to figure it out. I'm not a math guru so I had revisted my old homework assignments to finally get it.
But I thought I would post it here to help anyone who might want it.
The example is done with a square, but it could easily be modified for a rectagle since I had to use quadrants anyway. The hardest thing was working with the degrees, because of flash's geometry system is so wonkey when it comes to degrees. But anywho...
Check out the example here (you may drag the squares):

Point And Click
Hi!
I was wondering, instead of using a drag and drop interface, how do you make an interface where you click, and the object moves to that spot? This was done in the site, dubit(http://www.dubit.co.uk/), where you simply clicked anywhere on the screen, and the character moved there.
Cheers,
Willy
Point Click Help
Here is my moving code for my game I'm working on
onClipEvent (load) {
clickSpot_x = _x;
clickSpot_y = _y;
speed = 5;
clickMode = true;
}
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
// set position of target spot when mouse is clicked
if (clickMode && _root._xmouse>1 && _root._xmouse<550) {
clickSpot_x = _root._xmouse;
clickSpot_y = _root._ymouse;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (clickMode) {
gotoSpotX = clickSpot_x;
gotoSpotY = clickSpot_y;
}
// calculate angle of current position to target position
delta_x = _x-gotoSpotX;
delta_y = _y-gotoSpotY;
targetRotation = -Math.atan2(delta_x, delta_y)/(Math.PI/180);
// calculate the two methods of rotation
if (turnMode) {
if (_rotation<targetRotation) {
_rotation += 10;
}
if (_rotation>targetRotation) {
_rotation -= 10;
}
} else {
_rotation = targetRotation;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.walk==false) {
} else {
if (Math.sqrt((delta_x*delta_x)+(delta_y*delta_y))>sp eed) {
_y -= speed*Math.cos(_rotation*(Math.PI/180));
_x += speed*Math.sin(_rotation*(Math.PI/180));
}
}
}
What I want to is completely get rid of all the rotation stuff and make it so if the charactder is moving in a certain direction it does a goto and play to a frame for example if he's walking down, one of him facing forward walking, right = right walking and then when he's not moving go to another frame of him standing in the direction he stoped in. I've tried everything I could think of and it always gives me weird results, can somebody help me?

Help With A Point And Click Adventure
I'm trying to make a point and click adventure. I've gotten some script to work that allows a movie clip to move to an area that the user clicks, but I cant get it to animate properly. I want something like this: if x increases then character go to and play frame 2. If x decreases then character gotoandplay 2, xscale = -100. Same deal for a change in the y axis, but I would try to map it so that it would shrink according to the distance. Any ideas?
