Flash :: Graphics Move When I Make A SWF.

Make One Box Move On Roll Over, Make Other Box Move On Click
Okay here's the story: I have one box that moves the way I want it to on roll over, moves over my nav buttons and stays over them after you click one of them. The clicked button becomes where the box snaps back to. I have another box that I want to stay where it is until you click on a button. If you click on a button the box will move under the button that I have clicked on. Every attempt so far to get the second box to do that usually negates the other box's ability to do anything. Please, any help or suggestions?

[F8] How To Move 3 Graphics By Only Moving One
I have an unusal request.......

I want to animate an arm but by only moving 1 part. How I plan to achieve this is to create the arm out of 3 parts :

1) The upper arm
2) fore arm
3) hand.

But I want to animate the whole arm based solely on moving the hand.

By moving the hand in any direction, the rest of the arm will follow as if it was real. Ie, I want the upper arm to move from a fixed (solid) point (ie the shoulder rotation point).

The forearm will obviously have to move in 2 directions, 1) to follow the hand pivot point and 2) to pivot at the elbow and move the upper arm around it's shoulder pivot point.

I suppose it's best explained in the attached jpg file.

Any way of doing this ?

How To Make Mc Move?
I have a movieclip that when you click a button I want to change x-position. For the life of me I can't figure out what is wrong.

On frame 1 I am using:

x=getProperty("circle", _x)

to get the location of the circle. Then on a button I am using the script:

on (press) {setProperty, x=_x + number(200)}

It isn't working. Anyone know what the problem is or how I can make the circle move. I did some searching here and all I can find is how to make things move around randomly and with the mouse. I want this to be a button action and I only want it to move in the x plane.

If I can't use onEnterFrame or something with AS3, how can I move this swf on the timeline??

Please help me!!

Cant Make Fish Move
Ok, im trying to do a remake of the game fishy. Yes i'm have permision from xgenstudios.com, so dont get all angry at me. I've run into some problems though. I'm trying to get it to run through a loop with a counter variable going from 1 to 8, and then making duplicating a movie clip and naming it "fish" + the counter variable, then making it go across the screen. Heres my codes:

I'm escpecially doubtfull of the lines that are like
var fish" +numEnemy =5
I saw this in some other code and it worked there, but i dought its working now.

// In one controller object

onClipEvent(load) {
var numEnemy =0;
var wantedEnemy = 8
var sound = 1;
var qual = 1;
speeds = new Array()
}

// In the fishmaker

// Load fish when we enter the game frame
onClipEvent(enterFrame){

while(numEnemy < wantedEnemy){
numEnemy++
//Cycle through i to set each fish
duplicateMovieClip(basicFish,fish" + numEnemy,numEnemy);
fish" + numEnemy._y = random(400)
speeds.numEnemy = random(10) - 6
if (speeds.numEnemy == 0){
speeds.numEnemy = 1
}
if (speeds.numEnemy >=0){
fish" +numEnemy._x = -100
fish" +numEnemy._xscale = random(99)+1
}
else
{
fish" +numEnemy._x = 650
fish" +numEnemy._xscale = 0 - (random(99) +1)
}
fishcolor= new Color(fish" +numEnemy)
cTransform = new Object()
cTransform.ra = 50
cTransform.ba = 50
cTransform.ga = 50
fishcolor.setTransform( cTransform )

}

}

// and in the fish thats being copied

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_name != "basicFish") {
var fishnum = _name.substring(5,6)
Number(fishnum)
_y = _y + speeds.fishnum
if (speeds.fishnum < 0) {
if (_y == -100){
removeMovieClip(this);
numEnemy--
}
}
else
{
if (_y == 650) {
removeMovieClip(this);
numEnemy--
}
}
}
}

How Do I Make My Buttons Move Using AS?
I have a typical set of four buttons arranged horizontally to create a menu. When the user clicks any of the buttons, the clicked button needs to move to the first position. When clicked, the clicked button needs to move to a y position slightly above the the rest of the buttons. Simultaneously, the button currently in the first position needs to move to a y position slightly below the rest of the buttons. Next the remaining two unclicked buttons need to move together (if they are not already together) opening up position four. Next, the clicked button moves horizontally to a position directly above the first position. Simultaneously, the button that originally occupied position one moves in the opposite direction horizontally to a position directly below position four. Finally, both of the bottons will move vertically in the respective directions necessary to position themselves next to buttons in position and three.

Since the buttons may originate from a different position each time clicked I need to use a series of conditional statements to determine which direction to move and how far. For some reason I only see the end result of the conditional statements and not the actual movement. What do have to do to see the movement?

Is It Possible To Make Something Move Up Until It Hits Something?
I am trying to make a game where you move around and press up/down/left/right and go in that direction until you hit something.
code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this.gotoAndStop (4);
this._x += 10;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (hitTest() == block) {
stop;
}
}

i was thinking something like that would be in use because teh block would be teh object it would stop moving at. But i don't think it would work as i want to make block as a large MC with grahics inside. But the problem is when it hits nothing in the middle it will probably stop. Does nay1 have a link or a useful tip to give me a helping hand?

Can Anyone Help Me Make This Object Move?
Hello

I'm stuck on my coursework which is in for Tuesday

I've got a shape that is a movieClip and i want it to move around in random directions inside a larger shape and bounce off the walls. I can make it move around by itself when i enter the frame by using this:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
speed = 10; //if it is, then set a variable we call speed to ‘10’
angle = random(2); // set desired angle
speedX = Math.cos(angle*Math.PI/180)*speed;
speedY = Math.sin(angle*Math.PI/180)*speed;
this._X += speedX;
this._y += speedY;
}

But I want it to stay still and only start moving when it is clicked with the mouse. So i tried putting this at the beginning:

onClipEvent(mouseDown) {
x = _root._xmouse;
y = _root._ymouse;
if (this.hitTest(x,y, true)) {

This makes the object move when it is clicked on but it only moves if the mouse is down and is over the object so when i click it it moves and then stops.

Is there a way i can make the object move only when it is clicked on and keep moving and bounce off the walls?

Also, there are several small shapes inside the larger shape and i want them all to move when clicked on. How do i make sure that only the shape clicked on moves and stop them from all moving at the same time?

Please help :S

I hope that made sense

Make This Move Quicker?
Hi All,

Need some help on something that sounds simple but is proving far from simple!!

I found a .fla file on ultrashock for a simple "walking bot" shoot em up type of game - the little tank/ship follows the mouse and fires on the mouse click. It is all working and just what I needed for my movie...

...but for the life of me I can not make the tank move faster when the cursor moves further away it just carries on at a set speed.

The tank can also be controlled by arrow keys which may be the reason for the slowness of the ship but even so surely there is a way to make the ship move faster than it does?

The AS is in a seperate file to the actual movie and I am attaching it at the end of this thread...

as I say it sounds simple but can 'I' work it out????

Be grateful for any pointers

D

I have attached the .fla and AS file too

How Do I Make One MC Move When Interaced?
New Problem. Client wants a form to move when the menumovie clip folds out. Check out the site: http://www.grahamarchitecture.com/test/test.html

When the menu move out, it should shove the text to the right. I've tried to find tutorials on this but I don't even know what to ask for.

This was a six hour project and now its at twenty and the client is upset because its going over budget. I told him every change (over and above original specs) can take anywhere between five minutes to several hours and I charge hourly. I'm not that experienced with flash above making simple sites. This is what I call a "boomerang" project because I can't get rid of it.

I Want To Make My Nav Buttons Move - Design Help
Hi,

I'm trying to figure out the best way to implement my idea. I want these images that will eventually act as butttons to move separately and scale. They start out large and get smaller. I'm thinking that maybe I should put all the buttons in an MC for management. Scalling the MC will scale them all at once, but moving the MC will also move them all at once. I want them to move separately.

I want the buttons appear large on the screen, move to a desired location and scale. Then they will be used as a navigation which will call upon external .swf files to be loaded into separate levels.

Also, this navigation is a separate .swf that is loadel into a different level, which works.

HELP Load External.swf Then Make It Move
Hi

I am trying to load an external .swf into a MC in my flash movie.
Then I want to add a motion tween to the MC to make it move from one point to another.

I have the script below which loads the external .swf into the MC.

onClipEvent (load) {
loadMovieNum("Pic1.swf",1);
}

But the .MC with the .swf inside it doesn't move even though I have added motion tween to the MC.

Why is this?
